Fair Value Measurements

3 Months Ended

Jun. 01, 2013

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 1, 2013 and March 2, 2013, are summarized below:

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, and consist primarily of money market funds. The cash equivalents are held at fair value based on quoted market prices, which approximate stated cost.

Available for sale securities

The Company has short-term available for sale securities of $29.8 million and long-term available for sale securities of $11.9 million as of June 1, 2013, consisting of municipal bonds. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available-for-sale,” and are carried at fair market value based on market prices from recent trades of similar securities.

Restricted investments

The Company has $2.8 million of current restricted investments consisting of money market funds held in escrow for use in the Company's planned capital investments in the Architectural Glass segment business. The Company has $4.4 million of long-term restricted investments consisting of money market funds, which are short-term in nature but are restricted for future investment in the Company’s storefront and entrance business in Michigan, and are, therefore, classified as long-term. The restricted investments are held at fair value based on quoted market prices, which approximate stated cost.

Mutual fund investments

The Company has $0.6 million of mutual fund investments as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The mutual fund investments are recorded at estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Foreign Currency Instruments

The Company has a foreign exchange forward contract in place to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain forecasted purchases. The forward contract is measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign interest rates.
