3.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes fair value hierarchy levels that prioritize the inputs used in valuations determining fair value. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are primarily quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and financial instruments reported within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other long-term assets approximate fair value.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities but excluding capital leases, as of August 1, 2015 are as follows:

					Fair Value Measurements Using
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Second lien senior secured notes	$	407,292	$	322,027	$	322,027	$	—	$	—
Mortgage facility	103,916		104,579		—		—		104,579

Total	$	843,310	$	758,708	$	322,027	$	—	$	436,681

					Fair Value Measurements Using

The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities but excluding capital leases, as of January 31, 2015 are as follows:

					Fair Value Measurements Using
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Second lien senior secured notes	$	407,292	$	345,700	$	345,700	$	—	$	—

Total	$	857,751	$	798,750	$	345,700	$	—	$	453,050

The Level 3 fair value estimates are determined by a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing a discount rate the Company believes is appropriate and would be used by market participants. There was no change in the valuation technique used to determine the Level 3 fair value estimates.
