4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following tables provide information regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximates their carrying value, due to their short-term nature.

The Company recognized a net realized loss on investments during the twelve months ended December 30, 2017 of $679 and a net realized loss of $395 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. During the twelve months ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recognized impairment charges of $220 and $276, respectively, which are included in the net realized loss for the periods.

A summary of changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration at December 30, 2017 is as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2016	$	35,077
Measurement period adjustment		6,314
Change in estimated fair value		8,299
Accretion in value		1,177
Payment on liability		(16,985	)
Balance at December 30, 2017	$	33,882

The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was estimated using a risk-adjusted probability analysis. During the second quarter of 2017 management completed the valuation of the Acquisition Date fair value of contingent consideration resulting in a measurement period adjustment which increased the fair value of the liability and goodwill by $6,314. During the year ended December 30, 2017, adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration were recorded based on Enovation Controls’ results of operation during the period and managements’ revision of revenue and EBITDA forecasts. The adjustments were not considered measurement period adjustments and were therefore recognized in earnings for the period. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made the first payment on the contingent consideration liability.
