14.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We account for the fair values of our assets and liabilities utilizing a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

			Fair Value Measurement Using

During the year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded adjustments of $1.6 million in existing contingent consideration commitments that increased the fair value of our liability. During the year ended March 31, 2018, we recorded $12.0 million in initial contingent consideration due to business acquisitions and adjustments of $1.5 million that increased the fair value of our liability for contingent consideration. These adjustments were presented within general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.

During the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we paid $6.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to satisfy the current obligations of the contingent consideration arrangement.
