FAIR VALUE

The Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:


•	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data.


•	Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by the Company.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis such as our financial instruments and derivatives. There have been no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities during the fiscal year ended October 3, 2014.

As of October 3, 2014, the Company's Level 3 assets included an auction rate security which is classified as available for sale and recorded in other long-term assets and is scheduled to mature in 2017. Due to the illiquid market for this security the Company has classified the carrying value as a Level 3 asset with the difference between the par and carrying value being categorized as a temporary loss and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. There were no changes to the value of the auction rate security categorized as a Level 3 asset during the fiscal year ended October 3, 2014.

As of October 3, 2014, the Company purchased a currency call option and sold a currency put option to primarily match the underlying strike prices and timing of the foreign exchange collar detailed in Note 3, Business Combinations, in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These net currency options are intended to hedge the potential cash exposure related to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and Japanese yen. The Company nets the fair value of the foreign currency option with the fair value of the foreign exchange collar and records the change in earnings each period. The Company measures the fair value of these derivatives using prices and assumptions such as yield curves and option volatilities. As of October 3, 2014, these derivatives have been classified as Level 3 assets and the net change in fair value had a de minimis impact to the consolidated results.

The Company classified its future purchase obligation related to the remainder of the outstanding interest in FilterCo from Panasonic as a Level 3 liability. The Company calculated the present value of this obligation in its determination of goodwill using unobservable inputs and management judgment. The difference between the calculated present value and the fixed settlement amount is being accreted to earnings ratable over the remaining purchase option period. See Note 3, Business Combinations in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

As of October 3, 2014, assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following (in millions):

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company's non-financial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets resulting from business combinations are measured at fair value using valuation methodologies at the date of acquisition and subsequently re-measured if there are indicators of impairment. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the fiscal year ended October 3, 2014.
