⁽¹⁾: The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the potential contingent consideration payable in connection with the De Novo acquisition that is contingent upon achieving performance hurdles based on operating revenue objectives. The carrying value at December 31, 2011, was based on management's estimate of projected revenue over the measurement period as well as the probability of contingent consideration achievement and an applied discount rate to the projected contingent consideration payments that approximated the weighted average cost of capital. As discussed in Note 5 the carrying value was adjusted to zero during the third quarter of 2012.
⁽²⁾: The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the potential contingent consideration payable in connection with the Jupiter eSources acquisition that is contingent upon achieving pre-determined operating revenue objectives. The carrying value at December 31, 2010, was based on management's estimate of projected revenue over the measurement period as well as the probability of contingent consideration achievement and an applied discount rate to the projected contingent consideration payments that approximated the weighted average cost of capital. As discussed in Note 5 the carrying value was adjusted to zero during 2011.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the fair value measurement of liabilities using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes attributable to the following: (1) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets), and gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (2) purchases, sales, issues, and settlements (each type disclosed separately); and (3) transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 (for example, transfers due to changes in the observability of significant inputs) by class of liability.
