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, payable in three annual installments of $3,000 due on each anniversary of the note, the first installment having been paid on 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, having reset to the current rate of 1.14% on February 2, 2016. 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 quarters ended February 27, 2016 and February 28, 2015 was $66 and $24, respectively. The current portion of the note due within one year, including unamortized discount, was $2,825 and $2,796 at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, respectively.
 
Transportation Equipment Notes Payable
 
Certain of the transportation equipment operated in our logistical services segment is financed by notes payable in the amount of $5,112 and $2,152 at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, respectively. These notes are payable in fixed monthly payments of principal and interest at fixed and variable rates ranging from 2.60% to 3.75% at February 27, 2016, with remaining terms of fifteen to forty-five months. The current portion of these notes due within one year was $1,514 and $901 at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, respectively. The notes are secured by tractors, trailers and local delivery trucks with a total net book value of $6,552 and $3,796 at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, respectively.
 
Real Estate Notes Payable
 
Certain of our retail real estate properties have been financed through commercial mortgages with outstanding principal totaling $1,623 and $1,709 at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, respectively. The mortages bear interest at fixed rates of 6.73%. They are collateralized by the respective properties with net book values totaling approximately $5,959 and $5,993 at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, respectively. The current portion of these mortgages due within one year was $357 and $351 as of February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, 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 $1,159 and $1,224 at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, respectively. 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 of this note is included in the current portion of our long-term debt at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015. The note is secured by land and buildings with a total net book value of $6,191 and $6,226 at February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015, respectively.
 
Fair Value
 
We believe that the carrying amount of our notes payable approximates fair value at both February 27, 2016 and November 28, 2015. 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,

Bank
Credit Facility
 
Effective December 5, 2015, we entered into a new credit facility with our bank which provides for a line of credit of up to $15,000. This credit facility, which matures in December of 2018, is unsecured and 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 February 27, 2016, we had $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.
