Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value. We measure fair value based on authoritative accounting guidance, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures regarding fair value measurements.
Inputs are referred to as assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The uses of inputs in the valuation process are categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy.
•
Level 1 — uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities we have the ability to access.
•
Level 2 — uses observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•
Level 3 — uses one or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and that reflect the use of significant management judgment. 
Financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of their short maturities. At September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, no assets or liabilities were valued using Level 3 criteria. 
Information about our investments and long-term debt that is not measured at fair value is as follows:

Level 2 - Market Approach
 
At September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the fair value of our variable rate term loan approximates its carrying value as we pay interest based on the current market rate. As the quoted price is only available for similar financial assets, the Company concluded the pricing is indirectly observable through dealers and has been classified as Level 2. 
Investments
At September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company maintained $5,066 and $44,786, respectively, of term deposit accounts at several foreign financial institutions with whom we have an established relationship. Maturities on these deposits are greater than 90 days and less than one year and accordingly are classified as investments. The Company concluded that since the interest rates for these term deposits are based on the quoted rates from the various financial institutions that the pricing is indirectly observable and has been classified as a Level 2 market approach. 
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
We transact business in various foreign currencies and have established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risk associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures are offset by gains or losses on the forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency transaction gains or losses. These foreign currency exposures arise from intercompany transactions as well as third party accounts receivable or payable that are denominated in foreign currencies. Our forward contracts generally have terms of 30 days. We do not use forward contracts for trading purposes or designate these forward contracts as hedging instruments pursuant to ASC 815. We adjust the carrying amount of all contracts to their fair value at the end of each reporting period and unrealized gains and losses are included in our results of operations for that period. These gains and losses are designed to offset gains and losses resulting from settlement of receivables or payables by our foreign operations which are settled in currency other than the local transactional currency. The fair value is determined by quoted prices from active foreign currency markets (Level 2).  The condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect unrealized gains within accounts receivable, net and unrealized losses within accrued liabilities. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to currency fluctuations will depend on the currency exchange rates and other factors in effect as the contracts mature. As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the notional amounts of forward contracts were as follows:

Foreign currency gains or losses related to our forward contracts in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income were losses of $85 and $16 in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and losses of $132 and $146 for six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Gains and losses from our forward contracts were offset by transaction gains or losses incurred with the settlement of transactions denominated in foreign currencies. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our net foreign currency transactions were losses of $135 and $367, respectively, and losses of $115 and $399 for six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. All outstanding foreign currency forward contracts are marked to market at the end of the period with unrealized gains and losses included in other income and expense, within our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has entered into two interest rate swap contracts to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with its variable rate term loan. Under the swap agreements, we pay a fixed amount and receive payments based on a variable rate. The Company designated the interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges pursuant to ASC 815. The Company formally documents all relationships between the hedging instrument and hedged item, its risk management objective and strategy, as well as counterparty creditworthiness. At each reporting period our interest rate swap contracts are adjusted to fair value based on dealer quotes, which consider forward yield curves and volatility levels (Level 2). Unrealized gains, representing derivative assets, are reported within accounts receivable, net and unrealized losses, representing derivative liabilities, are reported within accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the fair values of the interest rate swap contracts were unrealized losses of $17 and $5, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative instruments are deemed effective. Ineffectiveness is measured based on the changes in fair value of the interest rate swap contracts and the change in fair value of the hypothetical derivative and is recognized in earnings in the period in which ineffectiveness is realized. Based on the criteria established by ASC 815, the interest rate swap contracts are deemed to be highly effective. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the interest rate swap contracts are recognized within interest expense. Gains and losses from our interest rate swap contract are offset by changes in the variable interest rate on our term loan. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, our interest rate on outstanding principal amounts averaged approximately 3.42%. As of September 30, 2017, 100% of our interest payments on our variable rate term loan are hedged through its maturity in April 2019.

Transfers out of accumulated other comprehensive loss
