10. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering assumptions, the Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

·

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

·

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level 2 liabilities that are measured, but not carried, at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s debt.  The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using a market approach based on the amount at the measurement date that the Company would pay to enter into the identical liability, since quoted prices for the Company’s debt instruments are not available.

·

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Level 3 liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the Company’s contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Full House.

A summary of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):

The Company did not have assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015. 

The Company is required to pay additional purchase consideration totaling eight percent of gross revenues generated by Motto each year for the next ten years with no limitation as to the maximum payout. The consideration is payable following each anniversary, beginning October 1, 2017 and ending September 30, 2026. The acquisition date fair value of the contingent purchase consideration of $6,300,000 represents the forecasted discounted cash payments that the Company expects to pay the former owner of Full House with respect to Motto.  The Company measures this liability each reporting period and recognizes changes in fair value, if any, in earnings of the Company and included in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent purchase consideration can result from changes in discount rates as well as the timing and amount of forecasted cash payments derived from anticipated gross revenues. The change in value from September 30, 2016 to December 31, 2016 is primarily due to a change in the discount rate used.

The table below presents a reconciliation of all assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs for the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 (in thousands):
