Fair Value Of Financial Instruments

(13) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

With the exception of fixed rate long-term debt, we believe that the reported carrying amounts of our financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values. At September 30, 2011, the reported carrying amount of our fixed rate long-term debt (including the current portion) was $168.0 million and the fair value was $175.9 million. The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using cash flow valuation models to estimate the market value of similar transactions as of September 30, 2011.
