Fair Value Of Financial Instruments [Abstract] |
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments | 10.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards related to fair value measurements include a hierarchy for information and valuations used in measuring fair value that is broken down into the following three levels based on reliability:
| · |  | Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company can access at the measurement date.
| · |  | Level 2 valuations are based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability including the following:
| a. |  | Quoted prices for similar, but not identical, instruments in active markets;
| b. |  | quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;
| c. |  | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instrument; or
| d. |  | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
| · |  | Level 3 valuations are based on information that is unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The book value of our financial instruments at August 31, 2015 and 2014 approximated their fair values. The assessment of the fair values of our financial instruments is based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, the fair values may not represent the actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized at August 31, 2015 or 2014, or that will be realized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement. The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the fair values of our financial instruments, none of which were held for trading or speculative purposes: Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Accounts Receivable – The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable approximate their fair values due to the liquidity and short-term maturity of these instruments. Other Assets – Our other assets, including notes receivable, were recorded at the net realizable value of estimated future cash flows from these instruments. Debt Obligations – At August 31, 2015, our debt obligations consisted of a variable-rate revolving line of credit. The Revolving Line of Credit agreement is renewed on a regular basis and the terms are reflective of current market conditions. As a result, the carrying value of an obligation on the Revolving Line of Credit approximates its fair value. Contingent Earn Out Payment Liability – During fiscal 2013, we acquired Ninety Five 5 (refer to Note 18). We reassess the fair value of expected contingent consideration and the corresponding liability each period using the Probability Weighted Expected Return Method, which is consistent with the initial measurement of expected earn out liability. This fair value measurement is considered a Level 3 measurement because we estimate projected earnings during the earn out period utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios. Probabilities were applied to each potential scenario and the resulting values were discounted using a rate that considered Ninety Five 5’s weighted average cost of capital as well as a specific risk premium associated with the riskiness of the earn out itself, the related projections, and the overall business. The earn out is payable in increments of $2.2 million based on the actual and projected financial results during the earn out measurement period, which ends on August 31, 2017. Therefore, we believe that projected financial results would need to increase significantly to reach the next payment threshold at $4.4 million or decline significantly to have the expected earn out payment reduced to zero. The contingent earn out liability is classified as a component of other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, the contingent earn out liability changed as follows (in thousands):
Contingent earn out liability at August 31, 2013 |  | $ | 4,109
Reduction of contingent earn out liability |  |  | (1,579)
Contingent earn out liability at August 31, 2014 |  |  | 2,530
Increase to contingent earn out liability |  |  | 35
Contingent earn out liability at August 31, 2015 |  | $ | 2,565
Changes to the estimated liability are reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our consolidated income statements.
