TheFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) hasestablished a three-level fair value hierarchy aimed atmaximizing the use of observable inputs – that is, inputs thatreflect the assumptions market participants would use inpricing an asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect theassumptions market participants would use in pricing an assetor liability based on market data obtained from sourcesindependent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs aresupported by limited or no market activity and requiresignificant management judgment or estimation.<strong>CoBank</strong> 2011 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>97
Due to the uncertainty of expected cash flows resultingfrom financial instruments, the use of different assumptionsand valuation methodologies could significantly affect theestimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, certain estimatedfair values may not be indicative of the amounts for which thefinancial instruments could be exchanged in a current or futuremarket transaction.A description of the methods, assumptions and inputs tothe valuation process used to determine or estimate the fairvalue of each class of financial instruments within the threelevelhierarchy follows.Level 1Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets foridentical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 assets atDecember 31, 2011 consist of assets held in a trust fundrelated to deferred compensation and our SERP and ERP. Thetrust fund includes investments in securities that are activelytraded and have quoted net asset value prices that are directlyobservable in the marketplace.Level 2Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets andliabilities in active markets; quoted prices in markets that arenot active; and inputs that are observable, or can becorroborated, for substantially the full term of the asset orliability. Our Level 2 assets and liabilities at December 31,2011 include our derivative contracts, collateral balancesrelated to derivative contracts and investment securities,excluding asset-backed securities.The fair value of our derivative financial instruments isthe estimated amount to be received to sell a derivative assetor paid to transfer or extinguish a derivative liability in activemarkets among willing participants at the reporting date.Estimated fair values are determined through internal marketvaluation models. These models use an income approach andincorporate benchmark interest rate curves (primarily the USDLIBOR/swap curve), volatilities, counterparty credit qualityand other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly inthe marketplace. We compare internally calculated derivativevaluations to broker/dealer quotes to substantiate the results.The fair value of collateral assets and liabilities related toderivative contracts is their face value, plus accrued interest,as these instruments are cash balances; therefore, fair valueapproximates face value.The fair value of our investment securities is determinedby a third-party pricing service that uses valuation models toestimate current market prices. Inputs and assumptions relatedto these models are typically observable in the marketplace.Such models incorporate prepayment assumptions andunderlying collateral information to generate cash flows thatare discounted using appropriate benchmark interest ratecurves and volatilities. These third-party valuation models alsoincorporate information regarding broker/dealer quotes,available trade information, historical cash flows, creditratings, and other market information. Such valuationsrepresent an estimated exit price, or price to be received by aseller in active markets to sell the investment securities to awilling participant. The estimated fair values of investmentsecurities also appear in Note 4.Level 3Level 3 inputs are unobservable and supported by limitedor no market activity. Our Level 3 assets at December 31,2011 include our asset-backed investment securities which arenot issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or itsagencies. Based on the lack of active trading volume and anorderly market for asset-backed securities, we classified thisportfolio as Level 3. Market values for such asset-backedsecurities are calculated by a third-party pricing service. Inputsinto these valuation models include underlying collateral dataand projected losses as well as information for prepaymentspeeds and discounting spreads. We compare these third-partypricing service valuations to internally calculated valuations tosubstantiate the results.Level 3 assets at December 31, 2011 also include$38.6 million of loans originally measured at cost, which werewritten down to fair value as a result of impairment, and$0.5 million of other property owned. The valuation of theseassets requires a determination of the fair value of theunderlying collateral, which may include the use ofindependent appraisals or other market-based information todevelop a management estimate of fair value. As a result,these fair value measurements fall under Level 3 in the fairvalue hierarchy; however, they are excluded from thefollowing tables because they are not measured on a recurringbasis.Our Level 3 liabilities at December 31, 2011 includestandby letters of credit whose market value is internallycalculated based on information that is not observable eitherdirectly or indirectly in the marketplace.<strong>CoBank</strong> 2011 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>98
