听听听听听听听听The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level听1).

听听听听听听听听The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December听31, 2013 and 2012. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December听31, 2013, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

(1): The income approach is used to calculate the fair value of these instruments. Fair value represents the present value of estimated future cash flows, calculated using relevant interest rates, exchange rates, and yield curves at stated intervals.
(2): The income approach is used to calculate the fair value of these instruments. Fair value represents the present value of estimated future cash flows, calculated using relevant interest rates and yield curves at stated intervals. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine the fair value during the current period.
(3): There were no transfers between Levels听1 and 2 within the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December听31, 2013 and 2012. During the year ended December听31, 2013, there were no instruments categorized as Level听3 within the fair value hierarchy.

听听听听听听听听The following table shows a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the year ended December听31, 2012 for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level听3) (dollars in millions). During the year ended December听31, 2013, there were no instruments categorized as Level听3 within the fair value hierarchy.

(1): We are party to cross-currency interest rate contracts that are measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements. These instruments have historically been categorized by us as Level听3 within the fair value hierarchy due to an unobservable input associated with the credit valuation adjustment, which we deemed to be a significant input to the overall measurement of fair value at inception. During 2012, this credit valuation adjustment has ceased to be a significant input to the entire fair value measurement of these instruments. The remaining inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement of these instruments represent observable market inputs that are inputs other than quoted prices (Level听2 inputs).

Our policy is to recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy as of the beginning of the reporting period. Due to the change in significance of the credit valuation adjustment to the entire fair value measurement of these instruments, effective January听1, 2012, we have categorized our cross-currency interest rate contracts as Level听2 within the fair value hierarchy.

听听听听听听听听We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include property, plant and equipment and those associated with acquired businesses, including goodwill and intangible assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if one or more is determined to be impaired. During 2013 and 2012, we had no impairments related to these assets.
