FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based on certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximates their fair values and are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying value approximates the fair value of the debt.
