SUPPLEMENTAL BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION
 
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
 
The fair value of financial instruments approximated their carrying values at
March 31, 2020

The fair value of cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and the current portion of long-term debt approximates carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value, as the variable interest rates approximate current market rates.
