Note 13. Fair Value (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

We categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

There were no changes in the inputs or valuation techniques used to measure fair values compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Policy Continued

The following methods and assumptions were used to measure fair value:

Financial Instrument

Level

Valuation Technique/Inputs Used

Cash Equivalents: Money market funds

Market - Quoted market prices

Available-for-sale securities: Secondary market certificates of deposit

Market - Based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information.

Trading securities: Mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP

Market - Quoted market prices

Derivative Assets: Stock warrants

Market - The privately-held company is in a start-up phase. The pricing of recent purchases or sales of the investment are considered, if any, as well as positive and negative qualitative evidence, in the assessment of fair value. The value of the stock warrants fluctuates primarily in relation to the value of the privately-held company's underlying securities.

Contingent earn-out liability

Income - Based on a valuation model that measures the present value of the probable cash payments based upon the forecasted operating performance of the acquisition and a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the liability.

Fair Value Measurement, Non-recurring, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when events or circumstances indicate a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the asset. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.

Non-recurring Fair Value Adjustment

Level

Valuation Technique/Inputs Used

Impairment of Right of Use Lease Assets and Related Asset Groups

Income - Based on a valuation model that measures the present value of remaining lease payments less estimated sublease income at a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the future cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include the following:

Financial Instrument

Level

Valuation Technique/Inputs Used

Notes receivable

Market - Price approximated based on the assumed collection of receivables in the normal course of business, taking into account the customer’s non-performance risk.

Equity securities without readily determinable fair value

Cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Impairment is assessed qualitatively.

On a periodic basis, but no less frequently than quarterly, the investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value is qualitatively assessed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment were to occur and was deemed to be other-than-temporary, the fair value of the investment would be estimated, and the amount by which the carrying value of the investment exceeds its fair value would be recorded as an impairment loss.
