Fair Value of Contingent Liability [Abstract]

Fair Value of Contingent Liability

17. Fair Value of Contingent Liability

When we acquired Core Mobility in October 2009, we set up a pre-acquisition contingency for two milestone payments that were part of the purchase price of the business. The first milestone payment of $0.6 million was met and paid in March 2010. The second milestone payment of $1.2 million was not met and therefore not paid. The Core Mobility shareholders disputed this claim in a lawsuit which was settled in August 2012, when the plaintiffs chose not to appeal our court victory.

As a result of the litigation victory, we were no longer liable to pay this second milestone payment and the $1.2 million contingent liability was returned to profit as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurement, the fair value of this contingent liability became zero once it was determined that we did not have to pay it. The fair value of this contingent liability is as follows (in thousands):
