4. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level of the fair value hierarchy were as follows:


	June 30, 2023
(In thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Instruments (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Fair Value
Assets
Cash equivalents (1)	$	—	$	14,733	$	—	$	14,733
Total assets	$	—	$	14,733	$	—	$	14,733

Liabilities

Total liabilities	$	—	$	160	$	—	$	160


	September 30, 2022
(In thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Instruments (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Fair Value
Assets
Cash equivalents (1)	$	—	$	2,035	$	—	$	2,035

Liabilities
Contingent consideration (3)	$	—	$	—	$	829	$	829
Total liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	829	$	829

(1)

Fair value of cash equivalents (money market funds) is based on quoted vendor prices and broker pricing where all significant inputs are observable.

(2)

Fair value of interest rate swap is based on forward-looking, one-month term secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) spot rates and interest rate curves (Note 7).

(3)

Fair value of contingent consideration liabilities was determined based on discounted cash flow analyses that included probability and timing of development and regulatory milestone achievements and a discount rate, which are considered significant unobservable inputs as of September 30, 2022.

Contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period using discount rates, probabilities of payment and projected payment dates. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability can result from changes in the timing or likelihood of achieving milestones and changes in discount periods and rates. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discount cash flow model. Interest accretion and fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration liabilities are reported in contingent consideration (gain) expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Changes in the contingent consideration liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs were as follows:


(In thousands)
Contingent consideration liability at September 30, 2022	$	829
Additions		—
Fair value adjustments		(835	)
Settlements		—
Interest accretion		6

Contingent consideration liabilities were associated with the fiscal 2021 acquisition of Vetex Medical Limited ("Vetex") and were included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022.
