We have financial instruments as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 for which the fair value is summarized below (in thousands):

		December 31, 2016								December 31, 2015
		Carrying Value				Estimated Fair Value				Carrying Value				Estimated Fair Value
Assets:
Trade receivables, net		$	389			$	389			$	445			$	445

Liabilities:
Acquisition related contingent consideration			-				-				99				99
Notes payable including discount from warrant grant			1,032				1,133				1,022				1,146

Assets and liabilities for which fair value is recognized in the balance sheet on a recurring basis are summarized below as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

						Fair value measurement at reporting date
Description		As of December 31, 2016				Level 1												Level 2							Level 3

Assets:

Assets:

Liabilities:
Acquisition related contingent consideration			99				-				-								99

The carrying amount of certificates of deposit approximates fair value, as determined by certificates of deposit with similar terms and conditions.

The recurring Level 3 measurement of our contingent consideration liability includes the following significant unobservable inputs at December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

Contingent consideration liability		Fair Value at December 31, 2015				Valuation technique				Unobservable inputs				Range
Revenue - based payments		$	99		Discounted cash flow	Discount Rate			12.5	%

						Probability of milestone payment			100	%
						Projected year of payments			2016

Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. Future changes in fair value of the contingent financial milestone consideration, as a result of changes in significant inputs such as the discount rate and estimated probabilities of financial milestone achievements, could have a material effect on the statement of operations and balance sheet in the period of the change.

The progression of the Company’s Level 3 instruments fair valued on a recurring basis for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are shown in the table below (in thousands):

		Acquisition Related Contingent Consideration
Balance at January 1, 2015		$	211
Change in fair value			(11	)
Cash payments			(61	)
Issuance of common stock from contingent consideration			(40	)
