        The following table presents information regarding the collateral pledged for our secured debt:

Senior Secured Bonds

        On August 20, 2010, we issued $3.9 billion of senior secured notes, with $1.35 billion maturing in September 2014 and bearing interest of 6.5%, $1.275 billion maturing in September 2016 and bearing interest of 6.75%, and $1.275 billion maturing in September 2018 and bearing interest of 7.125%. The notes are secured by a designated pool of aircraft, initially consisting of 174 aircraft and their equipment and related leases, and cash collateral when required. In addition, two of our subsidiaries, which either own or hold leases of aircraft included in the pool securing the notes, have guaranteed the notes. We can redeem the notes at any time prior to their maturity, provided we give notice between 30 to 60 days prior to the intended redemption date and subject to a penalty of the greater of 1% of the outstanding principal amount and a "make-whole" premium. There is no sinking fund for the notes.

        The indenture and the aircraft mortgage and security agreement governing the senior secured notes contain customary covenants that, among other things, restrict our and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to: (i)  create liens; (ii)  sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the assets serving as collateral for the senior secured notes; (iii)  declare or pay dividends or acquire or retire shares of our capital stock during certain events of default; (iv)  designate restricted subsidiaries as non-restricted subsidiaries or designate non-restricted subsidiaries; and (v)  make investments in or transfer assets to non-restricted subsidiaries. The indenture also restricts our and the subsidiary guarantors' ability to consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all, or substantially all, of our assets.

        The indenture also provides for customary events of default, including but not limited to, the failure to pay scheduled principal and interest payments on the notes, the failure to comply with covenants and agreements specified in the indenture, the acceleration of certain other indebtedness resulting from

non-payment of that indebtedness, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, any amount then outstanding under the senior secured notes may immediately become due and payable.

ECA Financings

        We entered into ECA facility agreements in 1999 and 2004 through certain direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries that have been designated as non-restricted subsidiaries under our indentures. The 1999 and 2004 ECA facilities were used to fund purchases of Airbus aircraft through 2001 and June 2010, respectively. New financings are no longer available to us under either ECA facility.

        As of March 31, 2013, approximately $1.8 billion was outstanding under the 2004 ECA facility and no loans were outstanding under the 1999 ECA facility. The interest rates on the loans outstanding under the 2004 ECA facility are either fixed or based on LIBOR and ranged from 0.417% to 4.711% at March 31, 2013. The net book value of the aircraft purchased under the 2004 ECA facility was $4.0 billion at March 31, 2013. The loans are guaranteed by various European ECAs. We have collateralized the debt with pledges of the shares of wholly owned subsidiaries that hold title to the aircraft financed under the facilities. The 2004 ECA facility contains customary events of default and restrictive covenants, including a covenant to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth.

        Because of our current long-term debt ratings, the 2004 ECA facility requires us to segregate security deposits, overhaul rentals and rental payments received under the leases related to the aircraft funded under the 2004 ECA facility (segregated rental payments are used to make scheduled principal and interest payments on the outstanding debt). The segregated funds are deposited into separate accounts pledged to and controlled by the security trustee of the 2004 ECA facility. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, we had segregated security deposits, overhaul rentals and rental payments aggregating $378.4 million and $405.4 million related to aircraft funded under the 2004 ECA facility. The segregated amounts fluctuate with changes in security deposits, overhaul rentals, rental payments and principal and interest payments related to the aircraft funded under the 2004 ECA facility. In addition, if a default resulting in an acceleration of the obligations under the 2004 ECA facility were to occur, pursuant to the cross-collateralization agreement described below, we would have to segregate lease payments, overhaul rentals and security deposits received after such acceleration event occurred from the leases relating to the aircraft funded under the 1999 ECA facility that remain as collateral, even though those aircraft are no longer subject to a loan at March 31, 2013.

        In addition, we must register the existing individual mortgages on certain aircraft funded under both the 1999 and 2004 ECA facilities in the local jurisdictions in which the respective aircraft are registered. The mortgages are only required to be filed with respect to aircraft that have outstanding loan balances or otherwise as agreed in connection with the cross-collateralization agreement described below.

        We have cross-collateralized the 1999 ECA facility with the 2004 ECA facility. As part of such cross-collateralization, we (i)  guarantee the obligations under the 2004 ECA facility through our subsidiary established to finance Airbus aircraft under the 1999 ECA facility; (ii)  granted mortgages over certain aircraft financed under the 1999 ECA facility and security interests over other collateral related to the aircraft financed under the 1999 ECA facility to secure the guaranty obligation; (iii)  have to maintain a loan-to-value ratio (aggregating the aircraft from the 1999 ECA facility and the 2004 ECA facility) of no

more than 50%, in order to release liens (including the liens incurred under the cross-collateralization agreement) on any aircraft financed under the 1999 or 2004 ECA facilities or other assets related to the aircraft; and (iv)  agreed to apply proceeds generated from certain disposals of aircraft to obligations under the 2004 ECA facility.

        On May 8, 2013, we amended our 2004 ECA facility, effective immediately. Prior to the amendment, we were subject to a financial covenant that would have been breached solely as a result of the application of purchase accounting in connection with our acquisition by Jumbo Acquisition Limited. The amendment removed this covenant. In addition, the amendment made permanent the requirement to segregate funds and to register individual mortgages in local jurisdictions. Prior to the amendment, this requirement would have fallen away if our long-term debt ratings rose above a certain level.

Ex-Im Financings

        On December 19, 2012, we issued pre-funded amortizing notes with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $287.0 million. The notes mature in January 2025 and scheduled principal payments commenced in April 2013. The notes are guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.492%. The funds were being held in a restricted cash account at December 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we used the proceeds from the notes to finance two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, which serve as collateral for the notes.

Secured Bank Debt

        2011 Secured Term Loan:     On March 30, 2011, one of our non-restricted subsidiaries entered into a secured term loan agreement with lender commitments in the amount of approximately $1.3 billion, which was subsequently increased to approximately $1.5 billion. The loan matures on March 30, 2018, and scheduled principal payments commenced in June 2012. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75%, or, if applicable, a base rate plus a margin of 1.75%. The obligations of the subsidiary borrower are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by ILFC and on a secured basis by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the subsidiary borrower. The security granted includes a portfolio of 54 aircraft, together with attached leases and all related equipment and the equity interests in certain SPEs that own the pledged aircraft and related equipment and leases. The 54 aircraft had an initial average appraised base value, as defined in the loan agreement, of approximately $2.4 billion, which equaled a loan-to-value ratio of approximately 65%.

        The subsidiary borrower is required to maintain compliance with a maximum loan-to-value ratio, which declines over time, as set forth in the term loan agreement. If the subsidiary borrower does not maintain compliance with the maximum loan-to-value ratio, it will be required to prepay portions of the outstanding loans, deposit an amount in the cash collateral account or transfer additional aircraft to the SPEs, subject to certain concentration criteria, so that the ratio is equal to or less than the maximum loan-to-value ratio.

        The subsidiary borrower can voluntarily prepay the loan at any time. The loan facility contains customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that limit the ability of the subsidiary borrower and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and create liens, and covenants that limit the

ability of ILFC, the subsidiary borrower and its subsidiaries to consolidate, merge or dispose of all or substantially all of their assets and enter into transactions with affiliates.

        AeroTurbine Revolving Credit Agreement:     AeroTurbine has a credit facility that expires on December 9, 2015 and, after the most recent amendment on February 23, 2012, provides for a maximum aggregate available amount of $430 million, subject to availability under a borrowing base calculated based on AeroTurbine's aircraft assets and accounts receivable. AeroTurbine has the option to increase the aggregate amount available under the facility by an additional $70 million, either by adding new lenders or allowing existing lenders to increase their commitments if they choose to do so. Borrowings under the facility bear interest determined, with certain exceptions, based on LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0%. AeroTurbine's obligations under the facility are guaranteed by ILFC on an unsecured basis and by AeroTurbine's subsidiaries (subject to certain exclusions) and are secured by substantially all of the assets of AeroTurbine and the subsidiary guarantors. The credit agreement contains customary events of default and covenants, including certain financial covenants. Additionally, the credit agreement imposes limitations on AeroTurbine's ability to pay dividends to us (other than dividends payable solely in common stock). As of March 31, 2013, AeroTurbine had $269.9 million outstanding under the facility.

        Secured Commercial Bank Financings:     In May 2009, ILFC provided $39.0 million of subordinated financing to a non-restricted subsidiary. The entity used these funds and an additional $106.0 million borrowed from third parties to purchase an aircraft, which it leases to an airline. The loans had original maturity dates in May 2018 with interest rates based on LIBOR. On January 16, 2013, the non-restricted subsidiary repaid both loans in full. In connection with the prepayment of this loan we recognized losses aggregating $1.7 million from the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

        In June 2009, we borrowed $55.4 million through a non-restricted subsidiary, which owns one aircraft leased to an airline. The loan partly amortized over five years with the remaining $27.5 million originally due in 2014, and the interest rate was fixed at 6.58%. On March 20, 2013, we repaid the loan in full. In connection with the prepayment of this loan, we recognized losses aggregating $0.8 million from the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

        In March 2012, one of our indirect non-restricted subsidiaries entered into a $203 million term loan facility that was used to finance seven Boeing 737-800s. The principal of each senior loan issued under the facility will partially amortize over six years, with the remaining principal payable at the maturity date. At March 31, 2013, the average interest rate on the loans was 4.733%. The loans are non-recourse to ILFC except under limited circumstances and are secured by the purchased aircraft and lease receivables. The subsidiary borrower can voluntarily prepay the loans at any time subject to a 2% prepayment fee prior to March 30, 2014 and a 1% prepayment fee between March 30, 2014 and March 30, 2015.

        On March 29, 2013, we amended certain financial covenants under our $203 million term loan facility.

        The subsidiary borrower under the $203 million term loan facility is prohibited from: (i)  incurring additional debt; (ii)  incurring additional capital expenditures; (iii)  hiring employees; and (iv)  negatively pledging the assets securing the facility.

Institutional Secured Term Loans

        In 2012, we entered into the following term loans:

•

$900 Million Secured Term Loan: On February 23, 2012, one of our indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a secured term loan agreement in the amount of $900 million. The loan matures on June 30, 2017, and initially bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 4.0% with a 1.0% LIBOR floor, or, if applicable, a base rate plus a margin of 3.0%. Subsequent to March 31, 2013, we amended the $900 million secured term loan and simultaneously prepaid $150 million of the outstanding principal amount. The remaining outstanding principal amount of $750 million now bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%, or, if applicable, a base rate plus a margin of 1.75%. The obligations of the subsidiary borrower are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by ILFC and on a secured basis by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the subsidiary borrower. The security granted includes the equity interests in certain SPEs of the subsidiary borrower that have been designated as non-restricted under our indentures. The SPEs initially held title to 62 aircraft and all related equipment and leases with an average appraised base value, as defined in the loan agreement, of approximately $1.66 billion as of December 31, 2011, equaling an initial loan-to-value ratio of approximately 54%. After giving effect to the amendment, certain collateral that had served as security for the secured term loan was released, and the SPEs now collectively own a portfolio of 54 aircraft and the related equipment and leases, with an average appraised base value as of December 31, 2012, resulting in a loan-to-value ratio of approximately 55%. The principal of the loan is payable in full at maturity with no scheduled amortization. We can voluntarily prepay the loan at any time, but if we voluntarily prepay any portion of the loan prior to October 5, 2013, we may be subject to a 1% prepayment penalty under certain circumstances.



•

$550 Million Secured Term Loan: On April 12, 2012, one of our indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a secured term loan agreement in the amount of $550 million. The loan matures on April 12, 2016, and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.75% with a 1% LIBOR floor. The obligations of the subsidiary borrower are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by ILFC and on a secured basis by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the subsidiary borrower. The security granted includes the equity interests in certain SPEs of the subsidiary borrower that have been designated as non-restricted under our indentures and that hold title to 35 aircraft and all related equipment and leases with an average initial appraised base value, as defined in the loan agreement, of approximately $1.0 billion. The $1.0 billion equals an initial loan-to-value ratio of approximately 55%. The principal of the loan is payable in full at maturity with no scheduled amortization. We can voluntarily prepay the loan at any time. We used the proceeds from this loan to prepay in full our $550 million secured term loan entered into in 2010 and scheduled to mature on March 17, 2016. The 2010 term loan had a LIBOR based interest rate with a margin of 5%.

        The loans each require a loan-to-value ratio of no more than 63%. If either subsidiary borrower does not maintain compliance with the maximum loan-to-value ratio, it will be required to prepay portions of the outstanding loans, deposit an amount in the cash collateral account or transfer additional aircraft to

SPEs, subject to certain concentration criteria, so that the ratio is equal to or less than the maximum loan-to-value ratio.

        The loans contain customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that limit the ability of the subsidiary borrowers and their subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and create liens, and covenants that limit the ability of ILFC, the subsidiary borrowers and their subsidiaries to consolidate, merge or dispose of all or substantially all of their assets and enter into transactions with affiliates.

Unsecured Bonds and Medium-Term Notes

        Shelf Registration Statement:     We have an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. We have an unlimited amount of debt securities registered for sale under the shelf registration statement.

        At March 31, 2013, we had issued unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $11.2 billion under our current and previous shelf registration statements, including $750 million of 3.875% notes due 2018 and $500 million of 4.625% notes due 2021, each issued in March 2013. The debt securities outstanding under our shelf registration statements mature through 2022 and bear interest rates that range from 3.875% to 8.875%. The notes are not subject to redemption prior to their stated maturity and there are no sinking fund requirements.

        Other Senior Notes:     On March 22, 2010 and April 6, 2010, we issued a combined $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due September 15, 2015, and $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.750% senior notes due March 15, 2017, pursuant to an indenture dated as of March 22, 2010. The notes are due in full on their scheduled maturity dates. The notes are not subject to redemption prior to their stated maturity and there are no sinking fund requirements.

        The indentures governing our unsecured notes contain customary covenants that, among other things, restrict our, and our restricted subsidiaries', ability to (i)  incur liens on assets; (ii)  declare or pay dividends or acquire or retire shares of our capital stock during certain events of default; (iii)  designate restricted subsidiaries as non-restricted subsidiaries or designate non-restricted subsidiaries; (iv)  make investments in or transfer assets to non-restricted subsidiaries; and (v)  consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets.

        The indentures also provide for customary events of default, including but not limited to, the failure to pay scheduled principal and interest payments on the notes, the failure to comply with covenants and agreements specified in the indenture, the acceleration of certain other indebtedness resulting from non-payment of that indebtedness, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, any amount then outstanding under the relevant indentures may immediately become due and payable.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement

        2012 Credit Facility:     On October 9, 2012, we entered into a $2.3 billion three-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 10 banks that expires on October 9, 2015. Concurrently, we terminated our revolving credit agreement originally scheduled to expire in January 2014. Our current revolving credit facility provides for interest rates based on either a base rate or LIBOR plus a margin, currently 2.25%, determined by reference to our ratio of consolidated indebtedness to shareholders'

equity. The credit agreement contains customary events of default and restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur liens and transfer or sell assets. The credit agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum ratio of consolidated indebtedness to shareholders' equity. As of March 31, 2013, we had not drawn on our revolving credit facility.

        On April 1, 2013, we amended certain financial covenants under our $2.3 billion three-year unsecured revolving credit facility, effective upon completion of the sale of our common stock to Jumbo Acquisition Limited. Following completion of this sale, we will apply purchase accounting which will adjust the carrying value of our assets and liabilities to their then-current fair value. The amendments to the financial covenants are intended to prevent us from violating such covenants solely as a result of the application of purchase accounting.

Subordinated Debt

        In December 2005, we issued two tranches of subordinated debt totaling $1.0 billion. Both tranches mature on December 21, 2065. The $400 million tranche has a call option date of December 21, 2015. We can call the $600 million tranche at any time. The interest rate on the $600 million tranche is a floating rate with a margin of 1.55% plus the highest of (i)  3 month LIBOR; (ii)  10-year constant maturity treasury; and (iii)  30-year constant maturity treasury. The interest rate resets quarterly and at March 31, 2013, the interest rate was 4.68%. The $400 million tranche has a fixed interest rate of 6.25% until the 2015 call option date, and if we do not exercise the call option, the interest rate will change to a floating rate, reset quarterly, based on a margin of 1.80% plus the highest of (i)  3 month LIBOR; (ii)  10-year constant maturity treasury; and (iii)  30-year constant maturity treasury. If we choose to redeem the $600 million tranche, we must pay 100% of the principal amount of the bonds being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we choose to redeem only a portion of the outstanding bonds, at least $50 million principal amount of the bonds must remain outstanding.

        In connection with the issuance of the subordinated debt, we entered into two contribution agreements (one for each tranche) with AIG that obligate AIG to make capital contributions to us in an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on the subordinated debt following the occurrence of certain "mandatory trigger events". If AIG completes its anticipated sale of up to 90.0% of our common stock to Jumbo Acquisition Limited, AIG will be able to terminate the contribution agreements. Under the terms of the subordinated debt, failure to comply with certain financial tests requiring a minimum ratio of tangible equity to total managed assets and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio will result in a mandatory trigger event. If a mandatory trigger event occurs after the contribution agreements have been terminated and we are unable to raise sufficient capital through the sale of our stock (in the manner permitted by the terms of the subordinated debt) to cover the next interest payment on the subordinated debt, a "mandatory deferral event" will occur. Following a mandatory deferral event, we will be required to defer all interest payments on the subordinated debt and we will be prohibited from paying cash dividends on our capital stock (including our market auction preferred stock) until we are in compliance with both financial tests or have raised sufficient capital to pay all accumulated and unpaid interest on the subordinated debt. Mandatory trigger events and mandatory deferral events are not events of default under the indenture governing the subordinated debt.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

        2013.     During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we prepaid the total outstanding under both tranches of the $106.0 million secured financing and the total outstanding under the $55.4 million secured financing. In connection with these prepayments, we recognized charges aggregating $2.5 million primarily from the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

        2012.     During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we prepaid the remaining $456.9 million outstanding under our secured credit facility dated October 13, 2006 and the $750 million outstanding under our secured term loan entered into in 2010. In connection with these prepayments, we recognized charges aggregating $20.9 million from the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and deferred debt discount.

L. Commitments and Contingencies

        At March 31, 2013, we had committed to purchase 243 new aircraft (of which 18 are through sale-leaseback transactions), four used aircraft from third parties, and nine new spare engines scheduled for delivery through 2019 with aggregate estimated total remaining payments (including adjustment for anticipated inflation) of approximately $17.8 billion. All of these commitments to purchase new aircraft and engines, other than the sale-leaseback transactions, are based upon agreements with each of Boeing, Airbus and Pratt and Whitney. In addition, AeroTurbine has agreed to purchase three used aircraft and eight engines under other flight equipment purchase agreements for an aggregate purchase commitment of $46.6 million.

Guarantees

•

Asset Value Guarantees:   We provide guarantees on a portion of the residual value of certain aircraft to financial institutions and other third parties for fees. As of March 31, 2013, we provided 13 such guarantees that had not yet been exercised. These guarantees expire at various dates through 2023 and generally obligate us to pay the shortfall between the fair market value and the guaranteed

value of the aircraft and provide us with an option to purchase the aircraft for the guaranteed value. We have also been called upon to perform under five such guarantees and, as a result, we purchased one used aircraft during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and expect to purchase another four such aircraft during the remainder of 2013. At March 31, 2013, the total reserves related to these guarantees, both exercised and unexercised, aggregated $41.5 million. At March 31, 2013, the maximum aggregate potential commitment that we were obligated to pay under the 13 unexercised guarantees, without any offset for the projected value of the aircraft or other features that may limit our exposure, was approximately $330.6 million.

•

Aircraft Loan Guarantees:   We guarantee one loan collateralized by an aircraft. The guarantee expires in 2014, when the loan matures, and obligates us to pay an amount up to the guaranteed value upon the default of the borrower, which will be offset by a portion of the underlying value of the aircraft collateral. At March 31, 2013, the guaranteed value, without any offset for the projected value of the aircraft, was approximately $7.4 million.

        Management regularly reviews the underlying values of the aircraft collateral to determine our exposure under asset value guarantees and loan guarantees. We recorded provisions for losses on asset value guarantees of $6.6 million related to two asset value guarantees during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The carrying balance of guarantees of $46.0 million, including reserves, is included in Accrued interest and other payables on our Condensed, Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

        Yemen Airways-Yemenia:     We are named in a lawsuit in connection with the 2009 crash of our Airbus A310-300 aircraft on lease to Yemen Airways-Yemenia, a Yemeni carrier. The plaintiffs are families of deceased occupants of the flight and seek unspecified damages for wrongful death, costs, and fees. The operative litigation commenced in January 2011 and is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. We believe that we have substantial defenses on the merits and that we are adequately covered by available liability insurance. We do not believe that the outcome of the Yemenia lawsuit will have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        We are also a party to various claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

M. Variable Interest Entities

        Our leasing and financing activities require us to use many forms of SPEs to achieve our business objectives and we have participated to varying degrees in the design and formation of these SPEs. A majority of these entities are wholly owned; we are the primary or only variable interest holder, we are the only decision maker and we guarantee all the activities of the entities. However, these entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without our subordinated financial support in the form of intercompany notes and loans which serve as equity. We have a variable interest in other entities in which we have determined that we are the PB, because we control and manage all aspects of the entities, including directing the activities that most significantly affect these entities' economic performance, and we absorb the majority of the risks and rewards of these entities. We consolidate these entities into our Condensed, Consolidated Financial Statements and the related aircraft are included in Flight equipment and the related borrowings are included in Secured debt financings on our Condensed, Consolidated Balance Sheets.

        We have variable interests in the following entities, in which we have determined we are not the PB because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance: (i)  one entity that we have previously sold aircraft to and for which we manage 18 aircraft, in which our variable interest consists of the servicing fee we receive for the management of 18 aircraft; and (ii)  two affiliated entities we sold aircraft to in 2003 and 2004, which aircraft we continue to manage, in which our variable interests consist of the servicing fee we receive for the management of those aircraft. These two affiliated entities, for which we manage aircraft, are consolidated into AIG's financial statements. We do not believe that we will have any future material liquidity obligations to any of these entities.

N. Fair Value Measurements

        Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on our Condensed, Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured and classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three levels based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 refers to fair values estimated using significant non-observable inputs.
