13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of receivables, 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.

 

Contingent Consideration

 

The Company’s contingent consideration of approximately $588,000 and $603,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, are Level 3 liabilities. The fair value of the contingent consideration at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 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 is not possible to determine a range of outcomes. Subsequent adjustments to the fair value of the contingent consideration liability will continue to be recorded in the Company’s results of operations until all contingencies are 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):
