Fair Value Measurements |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 12: Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards require that we put financial assets and liabilities into one of three categories based on the inputs we use to value them:
| · |  | Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities the values of which are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
| · |  | Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities the values of which are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or on model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| · |  | Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities the values of which are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Accounting standards require that in making fair value measurements, we use observable market data when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, we categorize the fair value measurement as being in the lowest level that is significant to the measurement. We recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which they occur. In addition to assets and liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis, we are required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We measure non-financial assets such as trade names, goodwill, and other long-lived assets at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment, and we record them at fair value only when we recognize an impairment loss. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets we measured at fair value on a recurring basis at January 28, 2017, and April 30, 2016:

Total |  | $ | 3,003 |  | $ | 36,802 |  | $ | — |
| (c) |  | There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during fiscal 2016.
| (d) |  | There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during fiscal 2016.
The fair value measurements for our Level 1 and Level 2 securities are based on quoted prices in active markets, as well as through broker quotes and independent valuation providers, multiplied by the number of shares owned exclusive of any transaction costs. Our Level 3 investments are valued at their cost basis as of the date of purchase, because estimating fair value is not practicable. Our Level 3 liability is a contingent consideration liability, and we estimate the fair value of this liability based on the present value of the probability-weighted future cash flows, which are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity. The following table is a reconciliation of our Level 3 assets and liabilities recorded at fair value using significant unobservable inputs:
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) |  | Level 3 |
Assets |  |  |
Balance at April 30, 2016 |  | $ | — |
Purchases |  | 6,250 |
Balance at January 28, 2017 |  | $ | 6,250 |
Liabilities |  |  |
Balance at April 30, 2016 |  | $ | — |
Acquisitions |  | 1,204 |
Translation adjustment |  | 20 |
Balance at January 28, 2017 |  | $ | 1,224 |
We hold certain available-for-sale investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value per share under the practical expedient methodology. In accordance with recently issued accounting standards, we no longer include these investments in our asset leveling using the fair value hierarchy. Adoption of this standard had no effect on our consolidated financial statements, but, as a result of this updated standard, we have reclassified the fiscal 2016 table above to conform to the fiscal 2017 presentation by removing our available-for-sale securities that are measured using net asset value. These investments are still included in the total fair value column of the table in our investment footnote (see Note 4). The fair value of the investments measured using net asset value at January 28, 2017, and April 30, 2016, was $6.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively.
