Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement:

5. Fair Value Measurement:

The following tables present our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments including money market funds and marketable equity securities, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as the interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness approximate current market rates. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to companies for debt with the same remaining maturities and is approximately equal to its carrying value.

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are valued based on quotations from financial institutions and the value of interest rate swaps is the discounted net present value of the swaps using third party quotes from financial institutions.
