9. Contingent Consideration

 

Contingent consideration is comprised of two contingent payments that the Company is obligated to pay the former shareholders of Bogs, two and five years following the Bogs acquisition date (in 2013 and 2016). The contingent consideration is formula-driven and is based on Bogs achieving certain levels of gross margin dollars between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. The first payment was paid to the former owners on March 28, 2013. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company remeasures its estimate of the fair value of the contingent payments at each reporting date. The change in fair value is recognized in earnings.

 

The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contingent payments as recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets (Unaudited) was as follows:

 

    March 31,     December 31,  
    2013     2012  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
Current portion   $ -     $ 1,270  
Long-term portion     5,003       4,991  
Total contingent consideration   $ 5,003     $ 6,261  

 

The fair value of the contingent payments was recorded at present value. Accordingly, the two components of the change in contingent consideration between December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 were the payment to the former owners of $1,270,000 and interest expense of $12,000.

 

The current portion of contingent consideration was recorded within accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets (Unaudited). The long-term portion was recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

 

The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a level 3 valuation as defined by ASC 820.
