The following table presents a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy for the indicated periods:

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Unobservable Inputs

The following table provides quantitative information (in thousands) about our Level 3 unobservable inputs at December 31, 2019:

Fair Value		Valuation Technique		Unobservable Input		Unobservable Input			Range		Weighted Average (1)
$6,000		Monte Carlo simulation		Discount rate		2.8	%
				Revenue Volatility		24.4	%
				Risk free rate		1.9	%
$13,873		Probability Analysis		Discount rate		3.0	%
				Payment amounts					$3,000 - $7,000		$	4,800
				Probabilities					40% - 54%		47		%

(1)

The weighted average of the payment amounts and the probabilities (Level 3 unobservable inputs), associated with the contingent consideration valued using probability analysis, were weighted by the relative undiscounted fair value of payment amounts and of probability payment amounts, respectively.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (1) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) and gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), 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); (2) purchases, sales, issues, and settlements (each type disclosed separately); and (3) transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 (for example, transfers due to changes in the observability of significant inputs).
