As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within levels one and two of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within level three of the hierarchy). The Registrant uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due from Supervisor, a related party, overage rent due from Sublessee, a related party, other receivables, due from Sublessee, a related party, accrued mortgage interest, due to Sublessee, a related party, accrued supervisory fees, to a related party, accrued expenses, due to Supervisor, a related party: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due from Supervisor, a related party, overage rent due from Sublessee, a related party, other receivables, due from Sublessee, a related party, accrued mortgage interest, due to Sublessee, a related party, accrued supervisory fees, to a related party, accrued expenses, and due to Supervisor, a related party reported in the Registrant’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments. Mortgages payable: The fair value of borrowings, as disclosed in Note D, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar borrowings could be made to the Registrant. The methodologies used for valuing financial instruments have been categorized into three broad levels as follows: Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. Level 2—Valuations based principally on other observable market parameters, including:   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments; </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments; </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Other observable inputs (such as risk free interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates); and </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Market corroborated inputs (derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data). </td> </tr> </table> Level 3—Valuations based significantly on unobservable inputs.   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Valuations based on third-party indications (broker quotes or counterparty quotes) which were, in turn, based significantly on unobservable inputs or were otherwise not supportable as Level 2 valuations. </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Valuations based on internal models with significant unobservable inputs. </td> </tr> </table> These levels form a hierarchy. The Registrant follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis and other required fair value disclosures. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as discussed in Fair Value Measurements. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts Registrant could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The mortgages payable had an estimated fair value based on discounted cash flow models, based on Level 3 inputs, of approximately $269,000,000 compared to the book value of the related debt of $269,000,000 at June 30, 2013. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Registrant as of June 30, 2013. Although the Registrant is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. </div> </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities.
