NOTE 4 – Investments

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America establish a framework for measuring fair value.  That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

 

quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

 

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

 

 

inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

 

 

inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or by other means.

 

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The fair value measurements and levels within the fair value hierarchy of these measurements for the assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills in the amount of $3,628,346 and $3,553,000, respectively, within level 2. There have been no changes in valuation approaches or techniques and related inputs.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers of investments into or out of Level 3 as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and twelve months ended December 31,2024, there were no transfers of investments into or out of Level 3. There are no assets requiring the use of Level 3 inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and twelve months ended December 31.2024.
