    Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of February 29, 2012.  These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

Valuation Techniques
In general, and where applicable, the Company uses readily available market quotations based upon the last updated sales price from the principal market to determine fair value.  This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 1 investments. 

Some debt securities are fair valued using a market value obtained from an approved pricing service which utilizes a pricing matrix based upon yield data for securities with similar characteristics or from a direct written broker-dealer quotation from a dealer who has made a market in the security.  This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 2 assets.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued by using industry-accepted models which discount the estimated future cash flows based on a forward rate curve and the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market, or based on dealer quotations, if available, which applies to the Company’s Level 2 liabilities.

The Company utilizes the beginning of reporting period method for determining transfers between levels.  There were no transfers between levels for the period from December 1, 2011 through February 29, 2012.

Certain of the Company’s investments are restricted and are valued as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors.  The table below shows the principal amount, acquisition date(s), acquisition cost, fair value and the percent of net assets which the securities comprise at February 29, 2012.
