NOTE M- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The financial assets of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are cash equivalents and long-term marketable securities.  The Company’s derivative liabilities are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy using inputs which are not actively observable either directly or indirectly.

 
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
     
 
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or
     
 
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable.

The following table sets forth the Company’s short and long-term investments as of December 31, 2010 which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.
