Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Note 4.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our long-term obligations, after deducting current maturities, is estimated to be $10,159,000 at June 30, 2011 and $116,483,000 at December 31, 2010, compared to carrying values of $8,462,000 and $114,067,000, respectively. A portion of our credit facility with a bank syndicate is due to mature on December 31, 2011 causing the large decrease in the fair and carrying value of our long-term obligations at June 30, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010. The fair value estimates are based on the overall weighted average interest rates and maturity compared to rates and terms currently available in the long-term financing markets. Our financial instruments also include cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable for which current carrying amounts approximate fair market value.
