NOTE 22. 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 June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

			As of June 30,
	Financial Statement	Fair Value	2018		2017
Description of Financial Instrument	Classification	Hierarchy	Fair Value
Contingent consideration	Other accrued expenses and current liabilities	Level 3	$	693	$	14,889
Contingent consideration	Other long-term liabilities	Level 3	$	11,000	$	658
Interest rate swap agreements	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	Level 2	$	672	$	—
Interest rate swap agreements	Other long-term assets	Level 2	$	13,405	$	5,559
Interest rate swap agreements	Other accrued expenses and current liabilities	Level 2	$	—	$	3
Interest rate swap agreements	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	—	$	3,110

The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. 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 the current and previous fiscal years (see Note 4) 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 years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, this remeasurement resulted in a $9 thousand and $0.7 million net increase to the liability recorded, respectively.
