Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company complies with the FASB standard regarding fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities carried at fair value.  Accordingly, assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

As of April 1, 2012, the Company has no assets or liabilities recorded at fair value.  The following table presents information about assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 27, 2011:

  Total liabilities at fair value
 $(24,600) $--  $(24,600) $-- 
 
The Company's fair value of its interest rate swap was derived from valuation models commonly used for derivatives. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market fixed prices, inputs from forward price yield curves, notional quantities, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. The Company's derivatives traded in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs could generally be verified and did not involve significant management judgment.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, product inventory, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values as of April 1, 2012 and March 27, 2011 due to their short term nature.

Fair value of long-term debt, calculated using current interest rates and future principal payments, as of April 1, 2012 and March 27, 2011 is estimated as follows:
