Our contingent consideration liability is accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and is adjusted to fair value when the carrying value differs from fair value. The fair value adjustments are reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Key assumptions include discount rates and probability-adjusted achievement of strategic targets that are not observable in the market. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the contingent consideration liability is considered Level 3 due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. The fair values of the contingent consideration liability were estimated based on the probability of achieving certain business milestones.

The following table presents activity in our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2015:



	Total Liabilities
Balance as of April 1, 2015	$	16,155
Settlement of contingent consideration related to acquisitions	(9,310		)
Fair value adjustments	1,201
Balance as of December 31, 2015	$	8,046

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We have certain assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the assets is considered Level 3 due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded a $58 adjustment to Gennius goodwill based on additional information that became available during the measurement period about certain liabilities that had existed as of the acquisition date. There were no other adjustments to fair value of such assets.
