8.Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

Level 1:	Inputs based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2:	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3:	Inputs reflect management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

The Company periodically invests excess cash in money-market funds not insured by the FDIC. The Company believes that the investments in money market funds are on deposit with creditworthy financial institutions and that the funds are highly liquid. The fair values of the Company’s investments in money-market funds are based on the daily quoted market prices for the net asset value of the various money market funds. These money-market funds totaled approximately $41,363 and $70,760 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the WMS acquisition on July 1, 2013 was estimated using a discounted cash flow method with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity included our assessments of expected future cash flows related to our acquisition of WMS during the subsequent three years from the date of acquisition, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

The Company utilized a discounted cash flow method with expected future performance of WMS, and its ability to meet the target performance objectives as the main driver of the valuation, to arrive at the fair value of the contingent consideration. The Company will continue to reassess the fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting date until settlement. Changes to the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in earnings of the Company and included in general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the Klein acquisition on July 1, 2014 was estimated using a discounted cash flow method with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity included our assessments of expected future cash flows related to our acquisition of Klein during the subsequent three years from the date of acquisition, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

The Company utilized a discounted cash flow method with expected future performance of Klein to arrive at the fair value of the contingent consideration. The Company will continue to reassess the fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting date until settlement. Changes to the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in earnings of the Company and included in general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liability for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

	Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Liabilities

Balance at December 31, 2014	$	13,867
Fair market value adjustments	(1,902		)
Imputed interest	651

Balance at June 30, 2015	$	12,616

The Company assesses the categorization of assets and liabilities by level at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the quarter.

Following are the carrying and fair value of the Company’s debt obligation as of June 30, 2015. The fair value of the Convertible Notes was calculated using observable market data and is considered a Level 1 liability.
