FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

3 Months Ended

Sep. 25, 2013

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:


•	Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2 – inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities.


•	Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and reflect our own assumptions.


(a)	Non-Financial Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

We review the carrying amount of property and equipment and liquor licenses in the second and fourth quarters or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, we record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in the first quarters of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.


(b)	Other Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying amounts while the fair value of the 2.60% notes and 3.88% notes is based on quoted market prices. At September 25, 2013, the 2.60% notes had a carrying value of $249.8 million and a fair value of $248.5 million and the 3.88% notes had a carrying value of $299.7 million and a fair value of $281.6 million. At June 26, 2013, the 2.60% notes had a carrying value of $249.8 million and a fair value of $244.2 million and the 3.88% notes had a carrying value of $299.7 million and a fair value of $279.5 million. The carrying amount of debt outstanding pursuant to the term loan and revolving credit facility approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximate current market rates.
