Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Note G – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We state cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair market value. The carrying values for receivables from clients, unbilled services, accounts payable, deferred revenues and other accrued liabilities reasonably approximate fair market value due to the nature of the financial instrument and the short term maturity of these items.

We recorded bank debt of $7.5 million as of June 30, 2012 and $9.0 million as of December 31, 2011 at the unpaid balances as of those dates based on the effective borrowing rates and repayment terms when originated. Substantially all of these balances include variable borrowing rates, and we believe that the fair values of these instruments are approximately equal to their carrying values as of those dates. We consider these factors to be Level 3 inputs (significant unobservable inputs).

We recorded business acquisition obligations of $8.5 million as of June 30, 2012 and $9.1 million as of December 31, 2011 representing the fair value of deferred consideration and earn-out payments estimated to be due as of those dates. We determine the estimated fair values based on our projections of future revenues and profits or other factors used in the calculation of the ultimate payment to be made. We use the discount rate that we used to value the liability at the acquisition date, which we based on specific business risk, cost of capital, and other factors. We consider these factors to be Level 3 inputs (significant unobservable inputs).
