Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows authoritative guidance related to fair value measurement and disclosure, which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of a fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period for which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed for all periods presented.
Items required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition of an additional 3% working interest in Poplar, assets acquired as a result of the Santos SA (see Note 2), and liabilities related to AROs.
Items required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis include securities available for sale, classified as Level 1, and the contingent consideration payable (see Note 2), classified as Level 3.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had$41.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, with $2.7 million held in cash and $38.6 million classified as cash equivalents. The cash equivalents were held in time deposit accounts in several Australian banks with maturities of 90 days or less.
The following table presents the amounts of assets and liabilities carried at fair value by the level in which they are classified within the valuation hierarchy for the years ended:
During the years ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, there have been no transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
