The following tables summarize changes to the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for Fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014. The gains and losses below may include changes in fair value due in part to observable inputs that are a component of the valuation methodology.

The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3, or between other levels, at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for Fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested annually or if an event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The carrying amount, estimated fair value and the level of the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instrument assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are summarized as follows:



	September 30, 2016
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Carrying Amount
Assets (a)
Asset-based loans, included in other assets	$	—	$	—	$	35.0	$	35.0	$	35.0
Policy loans, included in funds withheld receivables	—		—		8.5		8.5		8.5
Total financial assets	$	—	$	—	$	43.5	$	43.5	$	43.5

Policy loans, included in funds withheld receivables	—		—		9.0		9.0		9.0

Total financial liabilities	$	—	$	6,071.0	$	1,059.4	$	7,130.4	$	7,069.1

(a) The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued investment income approximate fair value due to their short duration and, accordingly, they are not presented in the tables above.

(b) The fair values of debt set forth above are generally based on quoted or observed market prices.

Valuation Methodology

Investment Contracts and Other Insurance Reserves

Investment contracts assumed from FGL by Front Street include deferred annuities, FIAs and immediate annuities. The fair value of deferred annuity and FIAs is based on their cash surrender value (which is the cost the Company would incur to extinguish the liability) as these contracts are generally issued without an annuitization date. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Practices and Recent Accounting Pronouncements, for discussion of the calculation of the fair value of the insurance reserves.

Asset-based loans

The fair value of the asset-based loans originated by Salus approximate their net carrying value. Such loans carry a variable rate that are typically revolving in nature and can be settled at the demand of either party. Nonaccrual loans are considered impaired for reporting purposes and are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As the loans are collateral dependent, Salus measures such impairment based on the estimated fair value of eligible proceeds. This is generally based on estimated market prices from an independently prepared appraisal. The impaired loan balance represents those nonaccrual loans for which impairment was recognized during the year.
