Fair Value Measurements

12 Months Ended

Jan. 03, 2017

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the 2015 Senior Credit Facility approximated fair value. The 2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement and 2013 Interest Rate Cap Agreement are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

As of January 3, 2017 (Successor) and December 29, 2015 (Successor), the Company held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For both periods, these included derivative instruments related to interest rates. The Company determined the fair values of the interest rate cap contracts based on counterparty quotes, with appropriate adjustments for any significant impact of nonperformance risk of the parties to the interest rate cap contracts. Therefore, the Company has categorized these interest rate cap contracts as Level 2 fair value measurements. The fair value of the 2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement was $0.6 million at January 3, 2017 (Successor) and is included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the 2013 Interest Rate Cap Agreement was zero at December 29, 2015 (Successor).

The following is a summary of the estimated fair values for the long-term debt instruments (in thousands):
