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 was
$204
and
$252
for fiscal
2016
and
2015,
respectively. The current portion of the note due within
one
year, including unamortized discount, was
$2,904
and
$2,796
at
November
26,
2016
and
November
28,
2015,
respectively.
 
Transportation Equipment Notes Payable
 
Certain of the transportation equipment operated in our logistical services segment was financed by notes payable in the amount of
$2,152
at
November
28,
2015.
The current portion of these notes due within
one
year at
November
28,
2015
was
$901,
and the notes were secured by tractors, trailers and local delivery trucks with a total net book value of
$3,796
at
November
28,
2015.
Over the course of fiscal
2016,
all of the outstanding transportation equipment notes were paid in full.
 
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
$5,858
and
$5,993
at
November
26,
2016
and
November
28,
2015,
respectively. The total balance outstanding under these mortgages was
$1,219
and
$1,709
at
November
26,
2016
and
November
28,
2015,
respectively. The current portion of these mortgages due within
one
year was
$385
and
$351
as of
November
26,
2016
and
November
28,
2015,
respectively.
 
Certain of the real estate located in Conover, NC and operated in our logistical services segment had been subject to a note payable in the amount of
$1,224
at
November
28,
2015,
all of which had been included in the current portion of notes payable. The note was secured by land and buildings with a total net book value of
$6,226
at
November
28,
2015.
The entire outstanding balance due under this note was paid in full during fiscal
2016.
 
Fair Value
 
 
We believe that the carrying amount of our notes payable approximates fair value at both
November
26,
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,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
. See Note

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.
 
We have
$1,972
outstanding under standby letters of credit against our line, leaving availability under our credit line of
$13,028.
In addition, we have outstanding standby letters of credit with another bank totaling
$456.
 
Total interest paid during fiscal
2016,
2015
and
2014
was
$353,
277
and
$176,
respectively.
