13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, 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 $500,000 as of September 30, 2020 is a Level 3 liability. During the third quarter, the Company determined that $500,000 of contingent consideration previously recorded would not be earned by the seller and was reversed. The Company based this amount on a review of current revenue levels, including potential revenue from existing customers, the amount of customer backlog and an estimate of new customer activity. The remaining fair value of the contingent consideration at September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by changes in revenue estimates related to the Company’s acquisitions, the passage of time and the associated discount rate.

 

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):
