Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), as the price that would be received upon selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•
Level 2 – Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
•
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The Company’s money market funds are measured using Level 1 inputs. The contingent consideration described in Note 11 is measured using Level 3 inputs.

The fair value of the money market funds approximates their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these financial assets.
In connection with an acquisition in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, payment of a portion of the purchase price is contingent upon the profitability of the acquired products for post-closing periods through June 30, 2016, and may be offset by working capital adjustments and other indemnification claims. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration as the present value of the expected payments over the term of the arrangement based on financial forecasts of future profitability of the acquired products, and reaching the forecast. This estimate is subject to ongoing evaluation. Inputs such as forecasted revenue for the acquired products and acquired product profitability are the most significant drivers of the fair value measurement and are based on full attainment. Significant decreases in any of those inputs would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. The actual cash payment could range from $1.1 million to $2.7 million.
The fair value measurement of contingent consideration as of December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2014, encompasses the following significant unobservable inputs:
