11 . fair value measurements during the first quarter of 2008 , we fully adopted fasb statement no . 157 , fair value measurements ( fas 157 ) . fas 157 established a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements . the adoption of fas 157 had no impact on our financial position or results of operations . fas 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis . this enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values . the statement requires that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories : level 1 : quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities . level 2 : observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data . level 3 : unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. .
