FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2018

Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are affected by the duration of the instruments and other factors used by market participants to estimate value. The carrying amounts for cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair value because of the short durations of the instruments and inconsequential rates of interest. Management also believes that the carrying value of long-term debt also approximates their estimated fair value because the terms of the facilities are representative of current market conditions. While management believes the fair value of our capitalized lease obligation approximates its fair value because certain terms of the lease were recently renegotiated, management also believes that precise estimates are not practical because of the unique nature of the relationships.

The following tables present the fair value of those assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. See Notes 2 and 6 for further information regarding our interest rate cap and common stock warrant liability.
