Fair Value of Financial Instruments
11.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s financial instruments included receivables, payables, accrued expenses, other liabilities and debt. The fair values of these financial instruments, excluding the Bank Loan, were not materially different from their recorded values at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Other than capital leases, all of the Company’s debt at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was floating rate based. Regarding the Bank Loan, the fair value of this debt is estimated to be approximately $6,960,000 and $10,905,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which is lower than the recorded amounts of $7,074,000 and $11,222,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The estimated fair value reflects the effect of higher interest rate spreads on debt being issued under current market conditions, as compared to the conditions that existed when the Bank Loan was obtained. See Note 6 for more information about the Company’s debt.
