The following table shows the change in fair value of Level 3 contingent consideration:


	Level 3 Contingent Consideration
Balance at March 27, 2020	$	—
Purchase price contingent consideration (Note 3)	7,300
Change in fair value of contingent consideration	(2,500)
Balance at March 26, 2021	$	4,800

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis also consist of marketable securities, unit investment trust funds, loans, bonds, stock and other investments which are the Company’s defined benefit plan assets. Fair value information for those assets and liabilities, including their classification in the fair value hierarchy, is included in Note 14, “Retirement Plans.”

In connection with the Acquisition discussed in Note 3, “Acquisition,” the Company is required to make contingent payments, subject to the entity achieving certain sales and revenue thresholds. The contingent consideration payments are up to $15,000. The fair value of the liabilities for the contingent payments recognized upon the Acquisition as part of the purchase accounting opening balance sheet totaled $7,300 and was estimated by discounting to present value the probability-weighted contingent payments expected to be made. Assumptions used in this calculation were units sold, expected revenue, discount rate and various probability factors. The ultimate settlement of contingent consideration could deviate from current estimates based on the actual results of these financial measures. This liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is re-measured each reporting period. The change in fair value of contingent consideration for the Acquisition is included in change in fair value of contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of operations.

During the fourth quarter, the Company determined that certain sales and revenue thresholds were less likely to be met for Voxtel as a result of its remeasurement exercise and updated associated forecasted data. The fair value adjustment of

$2,500 is recorded within operating cash flows as it represents the change in the fair value of the consideration liability that is less than the amount of the contingent consideration liability recognized at the acquisition date.

During the fiscal years ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
