(8)         The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at September 30, 2012, was $328.6 million and $350.5 million, respectively, and $197.5 million and $209.1 million, at December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the debt at rates based on instruments with credit risk, terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements.
