FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

9 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2015

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1—observable inputs which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—inputs which include observable inputs other than Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—inputs which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Additionally, as of March 31, 2015, we held $392.3 million of our $451.2 million of cash and cash equivalents in accounts of our subsidiaries outside of the United States and we would incur significant tax liabilities if we were to repatriate those amounts.

At March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 the Company had debt associated with its Amended Credit Agreement and Original Credit Agreement, respectively, with Wells Fargo Bank (See Note 7). The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities and was Level 2 measurement.

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s debt carried at historical cost was as follows (in thousands):



	March 31, 2015								June 30, 2014
	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Debt	$	100,000	$	—	$	100,000	$	—	$	72,254	$	—	$	72,254	$	—
