FAIR VALUE MEASURES
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 –
observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active liquid markets;
Level 2 –
inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume and/or infrequent transactions; and
Level 3 –
unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, that require the reporting entity to
develop its own assumptions.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
