Financial Instruments

Fair Value
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value at the balance sheet date and are Level 1 financial instruments. As of April 2, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance of the Company’s debt approximated its fair value based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same maturity and is a Level 2 financial instrument.

Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value and are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions and estimates to forecast a range of outcomes and probabilities for the contingent consideration. Contingent consideration obligations are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. We assess these assumptions and estimates on a quarterly basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to updated assumptions and estimates will be recognized within the special and restructuring (recoveries) charges, net caption on our consolidated statements of income during the period in which the change occurs.

Our contingent consideration liability as of December 31, 2016 is related to the acquisition of CFS on October 12, 2016 which included an estimate of the contingent payment relating to achievement of specified business performance targets by the acquired business in the twelve month period ended September 30, 2017. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration is $9.7 million as of April 2, 2017. See Note 4 for additional details related to the transaction.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations including foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The Company has used derivative instruments to manage foreign currency risk on certain business transactions denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent the underlying transactions hedged are completed, these forward contracts do not subject us to significant risk from exchange rate movements because they offset gains and losses on the related foreign currency denominated transactions. These forward contracts do not qualify as hedging instruments and, therefore, do not qualify for fair value or cash flow hedge treatment. Any gains and losses on our contracts are recognized as a component of other expense in our consolidated statements of income.

As of April 2, 2017 we had no forward contracts. As of December 31, 2016, we had four forward contracts. The fair value liability of the derivative forward contracts as of December 31, 2016 was $0.1 million and was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Our foreign currency forward contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820.
