8. Notes Payable and Bank Credit Facility

 

 

Real Estate Notes Payable

 

Certain of our retail real estate properties have been financed through commercial mortgages with outstanding principal totaling $72 and $292 at June 1, 2019 and November 24, 2018, respectively. The mortgages each bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.73%. They are collateralized by the respective properties with net book values totaling approximately $5,536 and $5,599 at June 1, 2019 and November 24, 2018, respectively. The entire balance of these mortgages is included in other current liabilities and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These obligations have been paid in full subsequent to June 1, 2019.

 

Fair Value

 

We believe that the carrying amount of our notes payable approximates fair value at both June 1, 2019 and November 24, 2018. 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 $25,000. This credit facility 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. The credit facility will mature in December 2021.

 

At June 1, 2019, we had $2,798 outstanding under standby letters of credit against our line, leaving availability under our credit line of $22,202. In addition, we have outstanding standby letters of credit with another bank totaling $325.
