4. Fair Value of Investments

The Company has elected the FVO for all investments in debt securities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for classification and disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company classifies cash equivalents and investments according to the hierarchy of techniques used to determine fair value based on the types of inputs.

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018:


	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Indentical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total
Assets:
Money market funds	$	14,881,346	$	-	$	-	$	14,881,346
U.S. government securities		17,865,780		-		-		17,865,780
Corporate bonds		-		65,873,445		-		65,873,445
Asset-backed securities		-		17,001,119		-		17,001,119
Total assets	$	32,747,126	$	82,874,564	$	-	$	115,621,690

There were no changes in the levels or methodology of the measurement of financial assets or liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The maturity date of all of the Company’s investments is less than one year.
