Note 19    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of an asset or liability is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged or settled in a current transaction between willing parties where neither is compelled to buy or sell. The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt of $294,180 and $294,817 at June 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, was recorded at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of long-term debt was approximately $247,359 and $262,775 at June 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes was based on quoted market prices, which are Level 1 inputs and the fair value of the Term Loan was based on Level 3 inputs.

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value fall into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1:     Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2:     Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

Level 3:     Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

As of June 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value and measured on a recurring basis or any significant nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities. Therefore, Colt did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the six months ended June 29, 2014.
