FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company's Level 1 assets consist of money market funds.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

The Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of U.S. treasury bills, and foreign currency forward contracts, that are valued using quoted market prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates. As a result, the Company has classified these investments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company's Level 3 liabilities consist of contingent consideration liability related to certain prior years' acquisitions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

The tables below present reconciliations for liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the fiscal years ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014:



Fair Value Measured and Recorded Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

	June 27, 2015			June 28, 2014
Contingent Consideration	(in thousands)
Beginning balance	$	3,215		$	8,577
Total gains or losses (realized and unrealized):
Included in earnings	384			1,739
Payments	(3,599		)	(7,101		)
Ending balance	$	—		$	3,215

Changes in unrealized losses (gains) included in earnings related to liabilities still held as of period end	$	—		$	1,739

The balance of the contingent consideration from prior year acquisitions was paid out during the year ended June 27, 2015 reducing the balance of this Level 3 instrument to $0 as of June 27, 2015.

In prior years, the valuation of contingent consideration was based on a probability weighted earnout model which relied primarily on estimates of milestone achievements and discount rates applicable for the period expected payout. The most significant unobservable input used in the determination of estimated fair value of contingent consideration was the estimates on the likelihood of milestone achievements, which directly correlated to the fair value recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of this liability was estimated quarterly by management based on inputs received from the Company's engineering and finance personnel. The determination of the milestone achievement is performed by the Company's business units and reviewed by the accounting department. Potential valuation adjustments are made as the progress toward achieving milestones becomes determinable, with the impact of such adjustments being recorded to Other operating expenses (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the fiscal years ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 other than impairments of Long-Lived assets. For details, please refer to Note 10: “Impairment of long-lived assets”.

- Definition

Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.
