Fair Value Measurements

7. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets which the Company can access.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those described in Level 1.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs.

The Company’s cash equivalents are investments in money market accounts, which represent the only asset the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of our cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

The following table summarizes the fair values of our financial assets as of December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The following table summarizes the fair values of our financial assets as of December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during 2012 (in thousands):

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Losses
Lease termination closure accruals	$	—	$	—	$	541	$	541
Facility impairment	$	—	$	—	$	856	$	856

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded non-recurring fair value measurements related to the impairment of our Orlando, Florida facility and accrued costs related to the closure of certain facilities. In accordance with the guidance in ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” the Company records assets and liabilities of discontinued operations at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. The Company reviews prior estimates and current data available to determine the appropriate value of these assets at period end.

Included in assets of discontinued operations is the estimated fair value of our owned Orlando, Florida facility. As part of our periodic assessment of assets of discontinued operations, the Company recorded an impairment in the third quarter of 2012 on the facility to reduce the book value to the estimated fair value of the building, less costs to sell. The estimated fair value was determined using a combination of the income approach and comparable sales approach of similar properties within the Orlando, Florida area using information from third party real estate agents.

Lease termination accruals were valued using the income valuation approach. Inputs to the valuations included management’s assumptions regarding sublease income as well as observable inputs such as rent obligations and interest rates.

See Note 10 for discussion of the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt and Note 12 for discussion of the estimated fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets.
