Certain of our retail real estate properties have been financed through commercial mortgages with interest rates of 6.73%. These mortgages are collateralized by the respective properties with net book values totaling approximately $6,228 and $6,262 at March 1, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. The portion of these mortgages due within one year, $284 and $279 as of March 1, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively, is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The long-term portion, $2,394 and $2,467 as of March 1, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively, is presented as real estate notes payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


The fair value of these mortgages was $2,616 and $2,684 at March 1, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. In determining the fair value, we utilized current market interest rates for similar instruments. The inputs into these fair value calculations reflect our market assumptions and are not observable. Consequently, the inputs are considered to be Level 3 as specified in the fair value hierarchy in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. See Note 10.


Bank Credit Facility


Our credit facility with our bank provides for a line of credit of up to $15,000 and is secured by our accounts receivable and inventory. The facility contains covenants requiring us to maintain certain key financial ratios. We are in compliance with all covenants under the agreement and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future.


At March 1, 2014, we had $1,366 outstanding under standby letters of credit, leaving availability under our credit line of $13,634.
