Zenith Acquisition Note Payable
 
As part of the consideration given for our acquisition of Zenith on February 2, 2015, we issued an unsecured note payable to the former owner in the amount of $9,000. The note is payable in three annual installments $3,000 beginning February 2, 2016. Interest is payable annually at the one year LIBOR rate, which was established at 0.62% on February 2, 2015 and resets on each anniversary of the note. The note was recorded at its fair value in connection with the acquisition resulting in a debt discount that is amortized to the principal amount through the recognition of non-cash interest expense over the term of the note. Interest expense resulting from the amortization of the discount for the year ended November 28, 2015 was $252. The current portion of the note due within one year, net of the current portion of the unamortized discount, is $2,796 at November 28, 2015.
 
Transportation Equipment Notes Payable
 
Certain of the transportation equipment operated in our logistical services segment is financed by notes payable in the amount of $2,152. These notes are payable in fixed monthly payments of principal and interest at the fixed rate of 3.75%, with remaining terms of nineteen to forty months. The current portion of these notes due within one year at November 28, 2015 is $901. The notes are secured by tractors, trailers and local delivery trucks with a total net book value of $3,796 at November 28, 2015.
 
Real Estate Notes Payable
 
Two 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 $5,993 and $6,127 at November 28, 2015 and November 29, 2014, respectively. The total balance outstanding under these mortgages was $1,709 and $2,218 at November 28, 2015 and November 29, 2014, respectively. The current portion of these mortgages due within one year was $351 and $316 as of November 28, 2015 and November 29, 2014, respectively.
 
Certain of the real estate located in Conover, NC and operated in our logistical services segment is subject to a note payable in the amount of $1,224. The note is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest at the fixed rate of 3.75% through October 2016, at which time the remaining balance on the note of approximately $1,004 will be due. Therefore, the entire balance due on this note is included in the current portion of our long-term debt at November 28, 2015. The note is secured by land and buildings with a total net book value of $6,226 at November 28, 2015.
 
Fair Value
 
 
We believe that the carrying amount of our notes payable approximates fair value at both November 28, 2015 and November 29, 2014. In estimating the fair value, we utilize 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 4.
 
 
Bank Credit Facility
 
Our credit facility with our bank provides for a line of credit of up to $15,000. This credit facility 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. The line matured in December 2015 but has been temporarily extended while we are in negotiations with our bank for a new line, which we expect to obtain during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 under substantially similar terms, except that the line is expected to be unsecured.
 
We have $1,970 outstanding under standby letters of credit against our line, leaving availability under our credit line of $13,030. In addition, we have outstanding standby letters of credit with another bank totaling $356.
 
Total interest paid during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $277, 176 and $244, respectively.
