Fair Value Measurements

NOTE 10. — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Debt Instruments

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement approximated fair value. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of the borrowings under the senior unsecured notes was $233,500,000 and $181,000,000, respectively. The fair value of the borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, was determined using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality, risk profile and projected average borrowings outstanding or borrowings outstanding, which are based on unobservable inputs within Level 3 of the Fair Value Hierarchy.

Supplemental Retirement Plan

We have mutual fund assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. We have a Supplemental Retirement Plan for executives. The amounts held in trust under the Supplemental Retirement Plan using Level 2 inputs may be used to satisfy claims of general creditors in the event of our or any of our subsidiaries’ bankruptcy. We have liability to the executives participating in the Supplemental Retirement Plan for the participant account balances equal to the aggregate of the amount invested at the executives’ direction and the income earned in such mutual funds.

The following summarizes as of December 31, 2017, our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the Fair Value Hierarchy (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Mutual funds	$	451	$	—	$	—	$	451
Liabilities:
Deferred compensation	$	—	$	451	$	—	$	451

The following summarizes as of December 31, 2016, our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the Fair Value Hierarchy (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Mutual funds	$	565	$	—	$	—	$	565
Liabilities:
Deferred compensation	$	—	$	565	$	—	$	565

Real Estate Assets

We have certain real estate assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, of $2,785,000 and $2,718,000, respectively, where impairment charges have been recorded. Due to the subjectivity inherent in the internal valuation techniques used in estimating fair value, the amounts realized from the sale of such assets may vary significantly from these estimates.
