Level 2 financial assets and liabilities represent the fair value of cash surrender value of life insurance policies. The assets grouped for Level 3 valuation were auction rate securities consisting of AAA rated securities mainly collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”), auction rate preferred securities ($6.1 million at par) which are AAA rated and part of a closed end fund that must maintain an asset ratio of 2 to 1. Level 3 liabilities consist of contingent consideration on acquisitions. See Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion on contingent consideration arrangements, including fair value inputs.</div><div align="left" style="text-indent: 18pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"> </div></div><div align="left" style="text-indent: 18pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3, the determination is based upon the lack of significance of the observable parameters to the overall fair value measurement.

In light of these liquidity constraints, the Company performed a valuation analysis to determine the estimated fair value of these investments. The fair value of these investments was based on a trinomial discount model. This model considers the probability of three potential occurrences for each auction event through the maturity date of the security. The three potential outcomes for each auction are (i) successful auction/early redemption, (ii) failed auction and (iii) issuer default. Inputs in determining the probabilities of the potential outcomes include, but are not limited to, the security's collateral, credit rating, insurance, issuer's financial standing, contractual restrictions on disposition and the liquidity in the market. The fair value of each security was then determined by summing the present value of the probability weighted future principal and interest payments determined by the model. The discount rate was determined using a proxy based upon the current market rates for successful auctions within the AAA-rated auction rate securities market. The expected term was based on management's estimate of future liquidity. The illiquidity discount was based on the levels of federal insurance or FFELP backing for each security as well as considering similar preferred stock securities ratings and asset backed ratio requirements for each security.</div></div><div align="left" style="text-indent: 18pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"> </div><div align="left" style="text-indent: 18pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">As a result, as of February 28, 2011, the Company recorded an estimated cumulative unrealized loss of $1.8 million  (net of taxes of $0.1 million) related to the temporary impairment of the auction rate securities, which was included in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. The Company deemed the loss to be temporary because the Company does not plan to sell any of the auction rate securities prior to maturity at an amount below the original purchase value and, at this time, does not deem it probable that it will receive less than 100 percent of the principal and accrued interest from the issuer. Further, the credit ratings of auction rate securities held by the Company remain at AAA levels. The Company continues to liquidate investments in auction rate securities as opportunities arise. In fiscal 2011, $15.1 million of such investments were liquidated at par in connection with issuer calls and redemptions.</div><div align="left" style="text-indent: 18pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"> </div><div align="left" style="text-indent: 18pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">The Company does not believe it will be necessary to access these investments to support current working capital requirements. However, the Company may be required to record additional unrealized losses in other comprehensive income in future periods based on then current facts and circumstances. Specifically, if the credit rating of the security issuers deteriorates, or if active markets for such securities are not reestablished, the Company may be required to adjust the carrying value of these investments through impairment charges recorded in the consolidated statements of operations, and any such impairment adjustments may be material.</div></div>3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following table summarizes the composition of the Company's investments at February 28, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands)falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringThis element represents the disclosure related to the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities which includes [financial] instruments measured at fair value that are classified in stockholders' equity. Such assets and liabilities may be measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The disclosures which may be required or desired include: (1) for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, disclosure may include: (a) the fair value measurements at the reporting date; (b) the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3); (c) for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets), and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (ii) purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net); (iii) transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 (for example, transfers due to changes in the observability of significant inputs); (d) the amount of the total gains or losses for the period in subparagraph (c) (i) above included in earnings (or changes in net assets) that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (e) the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period and (2) for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired assets) disclosure may include, in addition to (a) above: (a) the reasons for the fair value measurements recorded; (b) the same as (b) above; (c) for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a description of the inputs and the information used to develop the inputs; and (d) the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes, if any, in the valuation technique(s) used to measure similar assets and/or liabilities in prior periods.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) -Number 157 -Paragraph 32 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) -Number 157 -Paragraph 33 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) -Number 157 -Paragraph 6 -Footnote 4 falsefalseFair Value Measurements [Text Block]12Fair Value MeasurementsUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownfalsetrue
