14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market participant assumptions in the absence of observable market information. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair values of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgement associated with the inputs used to measure their value in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We held no Level 1 financial instruments at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets with inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Our Level 2 financial instruments include notes payable which are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged approximate market rates.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Our Level 3 instrument includes the fair value of contingent consideration related to completed acquisitions. The fair value at March 31, 2022 is based on discounted cash flow analysis reflecting the likelihood of achieving specified performance measures or events and captures the contractual nature of the contingencies, the passage of time and the associated discount rate. As of March 31, 2022, the contingent consideration is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

 

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):
