FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

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 September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

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 instruments include the fair value of contingent consideration related to completed acquisitions. The fair value at September 30, 2022 is based on discounted cash flow analysis reflecting the likelihood of achieving specified performance measure or events and captures the contractual nature of the contingencies, the passage of time and the associated discount rate. As of September 30, 2022, the contingent consideration was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. There was no contingent consideration recorded at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022 as the earn-out period ended November 30, 2022 and no amounts were determined payable to the seller as they did not meet the contractual terms.

 

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):
