11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants in an orderly transaction. The market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is known as the principal market. When no principal market exists, the most advantageous market is used. This is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the price that maximizes the amount that would be received or minimizes the amount that would be paid. Fair value is based on assumptions market participants would make in pricing the asset or liability. Generally, fair value is based on observable quoted market prices or derived from observable market data when such market prices or data are available. When such prices or inputs are not available, the reporting entity should use valuation models.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized based on the priority of the inputs used to measure fair value. The inputs used in measuring fair value are categorized into three levels, as follows:

– Level 1 Inputs – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

– Level 2 Inputs – unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

– Level 3 Inputs – amounts derived from valuation models in which unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions of market participants that would be used in pricing the asset or liability.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value included non-corporate owned life insurance (COLI) money market investments and mutual funds held in the Company's supplemental retirement savings plan (the Supplemental Savings Plan) and contingent consideration in connection with business combinations completed during the year ended June 30, 2010. The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Description of Financial Instrument Fair Value
Non-COLI assets held in connection Long-term asset Level 1 $ 3,152 $ 6,514
with the Supplemental Savings Plan            
Contingent Consideration Current liability Level 3 $ $ 20,839

 

Changes in the fair value of the assets held in connection with the Supplemental Savings Plan are recorded in indirect costs and selling expenses.

All three acquisitions completed during the year ended June 30, 2010 contained provisions requiring that the Company pay contingent consideration in the event the acquired businesses achieved certain specified earnings results during the two year periods subsequent to each acquisition. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration as of each acquisition date using a valuation model which included the evaluation of all possible outcomes and the application of an appropriate discount rate. At the end of each reporting period, the fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured and any changes are recorded in indirect costs and selling expenses. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, this remeasurement resulted in a $0.2 million increase and a $0.5 million decrease, respectively in the liability recorded. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, this remeasurement resulted in a $0.6 million decrease and a $1.1 million increase, respectively, in the liability recorded. During the three month period ended December 31, 2011, payments of $20.3 million were made in settlement of earned contingent consideration in connection with two of the acquisitions.
