Fair Value Measurements

We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and generally accepted valuation methodologies. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy. The hierarchy indicates the extent to which pricing inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities that are either directly or indirectly observable, or other observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates, and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include our own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The use of observable and unobservable inputs is reflected in the hierarchy assessment disclosed in the tables below.

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the six months ended September 30, 2012.

The following tables present information about our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value:

We maintained an investment in available for sale marketable securities, in a Rabbi Trust recorded in “Other current assets”, in which cost approximated fair value. The recorded value of our investment in available for sale marketable securities is based on quoted prices in active markets and, therefore, is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Rabbi Trust was used to fund the BEP and SERP obligations, which were fulfilled in April 2012. The Rabbi Trust was subsequently closed.

The recorded value of the corporate-owned life insurance policies is adjusted to the cash surrender value of the policies obtained from the third party life insurance providers, which are not observable in the market, and therefore, are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies are recorded within “Other expenses (income), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The recorded value of the BEP obligation is measured as employee deferral contributions and our matching contributions less distributions made from the plan, and adjusted for the returns on the hypothetical investments selected by the participants, which are indirectly observable and therefore, classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The BEP obligation was fulfilled in April 2012 with funds held in the Rabbi Trust.

The following table presents a summary of changes in the fair value of the Level 3 assets and liabilities for the six months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Level 3 assets and liabilities
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Corporate-owned life insurance:
Balance on April 1	$	3,458	$	3,323
Unrealized gain relating to instruments held at reporting date	55		68
Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, net	42		46
Balance on September 30	$	3,555	$	3,437

The following tables present information about our financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value:

	Fair value measurement used
	Recorded value as of		Active markets for identical assets or liabilities		Quoted prices in similar instruments and observable inputs		Active markets for unobservable inputs
(In thousands)	September 30, 2012		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Assets:

Intangible assets are valued at their estimated fair value at time of acquisition. We evaluate the fair value of our definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, or in interim periods if indicators of potential impairment exist. The income approach using “the relief from royalty method” was used to value indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The recorded value of SERP and other benefit plans obligations is based on estimates developed by management by evaluating actuarial information and includes assumptions such as discount rates, future compensation increases, expected retirement dates, payment forms, and mortality. The recorded value of these obligations is measured on an annual basis, or upon the occurrence of a plan curtailment or settlement. The SERP obligation was fulfilled in April 2012 with funds held in the Rabbi Trust.

Restructuring liabilities primarily consist of one-time termination benefits to former employees and ongoing costs related to long-term operating lease obligations. The recorded value of the termination benefits to employees is adjusted to the expected remaining obligation each period based on the arrangements made with the former employees. The recorded value of the ongoing lease obligations is based on the remaining lease term and payment amount, net of sublease income plus interest, discounted to present value. Changes in subsequent periods resulting from revisions to either the timing or amount of estimated cash flows over the remaining future periods are measured using the credit-adjusted, risk-free rate that was used to measure the restructuring liabilities initially.

The inputs used to value the our goodwill, intangible assets, employee benefit plan obligations, and restructuring liabilities are not observable in the market and therefore, these amounts are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents a summary of changes in the fair value of the Level 3 assets and liabilities for the six months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011:

Unrealized losses related to goodwill represent fluctuations due to the movement of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and are recorded within “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
