Note 8 - Financial Instruments
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
   
Level 1 – fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
   
Level 2 – fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
 
   
Level 3 – fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The carrying values of cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short- term nature of these financial instruments. Balances due to and due from related parties have no terms and are payable on demand, thus are also considered current and short-term in nature, hence carrying value approximates fair value.
The component of the Company’s long-term debt attributed to the host liability is recorded at amortized cost. Investments in debt instruments that are held to maturity are also recorded at amortized cost.
 
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are
re-measured
at their fair values periodically:

Long-term investments – other are included in the investments balance on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there was a transfer of long-term investments from Level 3 to Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. This transfer is related to shares of another company that is now publicly traded and can be valued using listed stock prices.
The Company’s other investment as of September 30, 2021 is considered to be a Level 1 instrument because it is comprised of shares of a public company, and there is an active market for the shares and observable market data, or inputs are now available.
All Level 1 investments are comprised of equity investments which are
re-measured
at fair value using quoted market prices.
The following table summarizes the changes in Level 1 financial assets:

The derivative liabilities related to the convertible debt instruments and freestanding warrants are recorded at fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is therefore considered to be a Level 3 measurement.

The Company’s financial and
non-financial
assets such as prepayments, other assets including equity accounted investments, property, plant and equipment, and intangibles, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.
