Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement), then priority to quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market (Level 2 measurement), then the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The following tables show CRA’s financial instruments as of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 that are measured and recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The fair value of CRA’s money market mutual fund share holdings is $1.00 per share. The contingent consideration liabilities in the tables above are for estimated future payments related to an acquisition that occurred on January 31, 2017. The asset purchase agreement provided for additional purchase consideration to be paid over a period of up to four years following the closing of the transaction in the form of an earnout, subject to the satisfaction of specific revenue performance targets. The fair value measurement of these liabilities is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of these contingent consideration liabilities are internally generated projections of sourced revenue and discount rates. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of these contingent consideration liabilities is reassessed on a quarterly basis by CRA using additional information as it becomes available, and any change in the fair value estimates are recorded in costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) on the condensed consolidated income statement of that period. The following table summarizes the changes in the contingent consideration liabilities over the fiscal year-to-date period ended September 28, 2019 and the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 (in thousands):
|  | September 28, |  | December 29,
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
Beginning balance |  | $ | 6,197 |  | $ | 5,137
Remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration |  |  | 1,868 |  |  | (244)
Accretion |  |  | 1,567 |  |  | 1,304
Ending balance |  | $ | 9,632 |  | $ | 6,197
