19. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values because of the short term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Fair value measurements-Level 2

 

Our notes payable are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged approximate market rates. As a result, the Company categorizes these borrowings as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Contingent Consideration

 

The Company’s contingent consideration of approximately $526,000 as of December 31, 2018, is a Level 3 liability. The fair value of the contingent consideration at December 31, 2018 was primarily driven by changes in revenue estimates related to the acquisitions during 2015 and 2016, the passage of time and the associated discount rate. Due to the number of factors used to determine contingent consideration, it was not possible to determine a range of outcomes. During 2019, the contingent consideration liability was fully settled.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the contingent consideration measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
