FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which Level 1 and Level 2 are considered observable and Level 3 is considered unobservable:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and also includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses of the Company approximate fair value based on the short maturities of these instruments.

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level of classification as of the end of each reporting period. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the fair value measurement for such assets and liabilities at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:


(Dollars in millions)	Basis of Fair Value Measurement
June 30, 2022	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Marketable securities	$	89	$	89	$	—	$	—

Interest-rate swap	36		—		36		—
Trading securities	$	2	$	2	$	—	$	—




June 30, 2021
Assets:
Marketable securities	$	71	$	71	$	—	$	—
Interest-rate swap	2		—		2		—
Trading securities	$	1	$	1	$	—	$	—

Liabilities:
Series A Preferred Stock derivative liability	$	3	$	—	$	—	$	3

The fair value of the interest-rate swap agreement is determined at the end of each reporting period based on valuation models that use interest-rate yield curves and discount rates as inputs. The discount rates are based on U.S. deposit or U.S. Treasury rates. The significant inputs used in the valuation models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions, and the valuation is therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair-value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the derivative associated with the formerly outstanding Series A Preferred Stock was determined using an option pricing methodology, specifically both a Monte Carlo simulation and a binomial lattice model. The methodology incorporated the terms and conditions of the preferred stock arrangement, historical stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate, a credit spread based on the yield indexes of high-yield bonds, and the trading price of shares of the Common Stock. The calculation of the estimated fair value of the derivative liability was highly sensitive to changes in unobservable inputs, such as the expected volatility and the Company’s credit spread. The estimated fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock derivative liability was classified as Level 3 in the fair-value hierarchy due to the significant management judgment required to make the assumptions underlying the calculation of value.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the estimated fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock derivative liability from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022:


(Dollars in millions)	Fair Value Measurement of Series A Preferred Stock Derivative Liability Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Balance at June 30, 2021	$	3
Change in estimated fair value of Series A Preferred Stock derivative liability	(2)
Settlement of derivative liability upon Final Conversion	(1)
Balance at June 30, 2022	$	—

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Long-lived assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets are subject to non-recurring fair value measurement for the evaluation of potential impairment. Other than the fair value estimates disclosed in Note 3, Business Combinations and Divestitures, there was no non-recurring fair value measurement during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

- Definition

Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.
