| 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 and cash equivalents, 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 December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, no assets or liabilities were valued using Level 3 criteria.
Information about our long-term debt that is not measured at fair value is as follows:
At December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the fair value of our long-term debt is based on market quotes available for issuance of debt with similar terms. 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. The Company believes the decline in fair value as of March 31, 2020 is temporary and attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cross Currency Swap
The Company has entered into a long-term cross currency swap to hedge the currency rate fluctuations related to a $42,958 intercompany receivable at December 31, 2020 from our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Thermon Canada Inc., maturing on October 30, 2022. Periodic principal payments are to be settled twice annually with interest payments settled quarterly through the cross currency derivative contract. We do not designate the cross currency swap as a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). We recorded $1,869 and $5,319 of unrealized mark-to-market losses on the cross currency swap, which is reported as "Other income and expense" in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Cross currency swap contracts are measured on a recurring basis at fair value and are classified as Level 2 measurements. Hedge (liabilities) assets in the amount of ($786) and $4,011 were included in "Other non-current liabilities" and"Other long-term assets," respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the loss on the long-term cross currency swap derivative contract was offset by unrealized gain on the intercompany note of $5,806 for a net gain of $487.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company provides a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain highly compensated employees where payroll contributions are made by the employees on a pre-tax basis. Included in “Other long-term assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 were $4,814 and $2,849, respectively, of deferred compensation plan assets held by the Company. Deferred compensation plan assets (mutual funds) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1). The Company has a corresponding liability to participants of $4,812 and $2,886 included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Deferred compensation expense (income) included in "Marketing, general and administrative and engineering" were $599 and $(228) for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1,380 and $139 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Expenses and income from our deferred compensation plan were offset by unrealized gains and losses for the deferred compensation plan included in "Other income and expense" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Our unrealized gains on investments were $651 and $21 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1,419 and $116 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Trade Related 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 "Other income and expense" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. 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). Fair value amounts for such forward contracts on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are either classified as accounts receivable, net or accrued liabilities depending on whether the forward contract is in a gain (accounts receivable, net) or loss (accrued liabilities) position. 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 December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the notional amounts of forward contracts were as follows:
The following table represents the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts:
Foreign currency gains or losses related to our forward contracts in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income were losses of $388 and gains of $132 in the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and losses of $437 and $109 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, our net foreign currency transactions were gains of $109 and losses of $206, respectively. Likewise, we observed gains of $85 and losses of $84 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
