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.

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), contingent consideration in connection with past acquisitions and interest rate swap agreements. Contingent consideration recorded at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 related to the February 1, 2012 U.K. acquisition of Tomorrow Communications, Ltd (TCL). The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, and the level they fall within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

        September 30,   June 30,
  Financial Statement Fair Value   2012   2012
Description of Financial Instrument Classification Hierarchy Fair Value
Non-COLI assets held in connection Long-term asset Level 1 $ 6,059 $ 6,123
with the Supplemental Savings Plan            
Contingent Consideration Current liability Level 3 $ 3,193 $ 3,055
Contingent Consideration Other long-term Level 3 $ 3,076 $ 2,942
  liabilities          
Interest rate swap agreements Other long-term Level 2 $ 3,169 $ 2,196
  liabilities          

 

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

Contingent consideration at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 related to the requirement that the Company pay contingent consideration in the event TCL achieved certain specified earnings results during the one year period subsequent to acquisition. The Company determined the fair value of contingent consideration as of the 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 months ended September 30, 2012, this remeasurement did not result in a significant change to the liability recorded. The maximum contingent consideration associated with the TCL acquisition is approximately $6.5 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, this remeasurement resulted in a $0.7 million reduction in the liability recorded as of that date, related to prior acquisitions.

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
