(1)	Short-term investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are six-month U.S. Treasury Bills. The fair values of these assets are based on Level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent consideration liability represents arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies we acquired. The remaining undiscounted maximum payment under the arrangements is $5.6 million. We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo Simulation, which is based on significant inputs, primarily forecasted future results of the acquired businesses not observable in the market, and thus represents a Level 3 measure. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid $0.5 million as part of these arrangements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we paid $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as part of these arrangements. The remaining change in the fair value of the contingent consideration from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 is related to changes in foreign currency rates.
