CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION	12. CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION As disclosed in Note 3, there was an earn-out component of the Forsake purchase price, in which contingent payments were to be paid to the former owners of Forsake annually, over a period of five years, if certain performance thresholds were met. At the acquisition date, our estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $1.3 million in total. This estimate was based on Forsake achieving certain levels of gross margins dollars during a five-year earnout period: August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2026. We remeasured the contingent consideration quarterly and concluded in the third quarter of 2022 that the gross margin thresholds for the first earn out period were not met. We also reduced our sales projections for the brand in the fourth quarter of 2022. The net gains from the revaluation of contingent consideration from approximately $1.3 million to $500,000 totaled $857,000 in 2022. These gains were recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, we reached an agreement with the former owners of Forsake to settle the contingent consideration liability, which was paid in early 2023.
