When developing fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, we are required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument.

The following table reflects the activity for our liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs, which relate to a contingent consideration obligation in connection with a prior acquisition, for each period presented (in thousands):

We recorded a credit of approximately $1.5 million during the year ended November 30, 2015 due to the change in fair value of a contingent consideration obligation in connection with the acquisition of Modulus, which is included in acquisition-related expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015, the contingent consideration obligation for the acquisition of Modulus was reduced to $0 as the year one milestone was not achieved as of May 31, 2015 and the key assumption used in our valuation model was a probability of 0% that the year two milestone associated with the contingent consideration would be achieved. As of May 31, 2016, the year two milestone was not achieved.

In regard to the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Rollbase, the contingency was relieved as of May 31, 2015 as the milestones associated with the contingent consideration were achieved as of this date. As such, the amount of the payment related to the contingent consideration was known as of May 31, 2015 and was based on actual results. We transferred the contingent earn out liability to a Level 2 fair value measurement as the value as of May 31, 2015 was based on observable inputs. The payment was made in June 2015 in the amount of $0.2 million; as such, there is no longer a liability related to the Rollbase contingent consideration.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

During fiscal years 2016 and 2015, certain assets have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, based on the fair value measurement, we recorded a $92.0 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Application Development and Deployment reporting unit. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion on the fair value of the goodwill related to the Application Development and Deployment reporting unit. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, based on the fair value measurement, we recorded a $5.1 million asset impairment charge, which was applicable to the intangible assets obtained in connection with our acquisition of Modulus during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 (Note 6).

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, based on the fair value measurement, we recorded a $4.0 million asset impairment charge related to our cloud-based mobile application development technology as a result of our decision to replace our existing cloud-based mobile application development technology with technology acquired in connection with the acquisition of Telerik AD (Note 13). During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, based on the fair value measurement, we recorded a $1.0 million asset impairment charge related to the abandonment of certain assets (Note 13).

The following table presents nonrecurring fair value measurements as of November 30, 2016 (in thousands):



	Total Fair Value		Total Losses
Goodwill allocated to the Application Development and Deployment reporting unit	$	46,965	$	92,000
Intangible assets	—		5,051

The following table presents nonrecurring fair value measurements as of November 30, 2015 (in thousands):



	Total Fair Value		Total Losses
Long-lived assets	$	60	$	4,962

The fair value measurements of intangible assets and long-lived assets were determined using an income-based valuation methodology, which incorporates unobservable inputs, including discounted expected cash flows over the remaining estimated useful life of the technology, thereby classifying the fair value as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The expected cash flows include subscription fees to be collected from existing customers using the platform, offset by hosting fees and compensation related costs to be incurred over the remaining estimated useful lives.

We did not have any nonrecurring fair value measurements as of November 30, 2014.
