12.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in an orderly transaction. The market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is known as the principal market. When no principal market exists, the most advantageous market is used. This is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the price that maximizes the amount that would be received or minimizes the amount that would be paid. Fair value is based on assumptions market participants would make in pricing the asset or liability. Generally, fair value is based on observable quoted market prices or derived from observable market data when such market prices or data are available. When such prices or inputs are not available, the reporting entity should use valuation models.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized based on the priority of the inputs used to measure fair value. The inputs used in measuring fair value are categorized into three levels, as follows:

•

Level 1 Inputs – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 Inputs – unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3 Inputs – amounts derived from valuation models in which unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions of market participants that would be used in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value included interest rate swap agreements and contingent consideration in connection with business combinations. The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

			December 31,		June 30,
	Financial Statement	Fair Value	2017		2017
Description of Financial Instrument	Classification	Hierarchy	Fair Value
Contingent consideration	Other accrued expenses and current liabilities	Level 3	$	9,600	$	14,889
Contingent consideration	Other long-term liabilities	Level 3	$	9,100	$	658
Interest rate swap agreements	Other long-term assets	Level 2	$	8,121	$	5,559
Interest rate swap agreements	Other accrued expenses and current liabilities	Level 2	$	23	$	3
Interest rate swap agreements	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	506	$	3,110

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Various acquisitions completed during prior fiscal years contained provisions requiring that the Company pay contingent consideration in the event the acquired businesses achieved certain specified earnings results during the two and three year periods subsequent to each acquisition. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration as of each acquisition date using a valuation model which included the evaluation of the most likely outcome and the application of an appropriate discount rate. At the end of each reporting period, the fair value of the contingent consideration was remeasured and any changes were recorded in indirect costs and selling expenses. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 this remeasurement resulted in a $1.1 million and $2.0 million change to the liability recorded.
