The book value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):


	April 1, 2023				April 2, 2022
	Book Value		Estimated Fair Value		Book Value		Estimated Fair Value
Available-for-sale debt securities (1)	$	18,555	$	18,555	$	17,760	$	17,760
Marketable equity securities (2)	9,989		9,989		16,780		16,780
Non-marketable equity investments (3)	5,073		5,073		20,479		20,479
Consumer loans receivable (4) (5)	44,148		50,686		49,884		53,354
Commercial loans receivable (5)	101,977		97,106		68,566		65,942
Other secured financing (6)	(2,379)		(2,332)		(2,933)		(3,119)

(1) Level 2: The fair value is based on observable market prices for identical securities. When observable market prices for identical securities are not available, we price our marketable debt instruments using non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated with observable market data; quoted market prices for similar instruments; or pricing models, such as a discounted cash flow model, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated with observable market data.

(2) Level 1: The fair value is based on quoted market prices.

(3) Level 3: The fair value approximates book value based on the non-marketable nature of the investments.

(4) Level 3: Includes consumer loans receivable held for investment, held for sale and construction advances.

(5) Level 3: The fair value is estimated using market interest rates of comparable loans.

(6) Level 2: The fair value is based on the discounted value of the expected remaining principal and interest cash flows.

Consumer loans held for investment are measured using Level 3 inputs that are calculated using estimated discounted future cash flows from the evaluation of loan credit quality and performance history to determine expected prepayments and defaults on the portfolio, discounted with rates considered to reflect current market conditions. Loans held for sale are measured at the lower of cost or fair value, less costs to sell, using inputs that consist of quoted market prices for mortgage-backed securities or investor purchase commitments for similar types of loan commitments on hand from investors. The cost of loans held for sale was lower than the fair value as of April 1, 2023.

Mortgage Servicing. Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs") are the rights to receive a portion of the interest coupon and fees collected from the mortgagors for performing specified mortgage servicing activities, which consist of collecting loan payments, remitting principal and interest payments to investors, managing escrow accounts, performing loss mitigation activities on behalf of investors and otherwise administering the loan servicing portfolio. MSRs are recorded at fair value in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the present value of the expected future cash flows related to servicing these loans.

Number of loans serviced with MSRs	4,070			4,346
Weighted average servicing fee (basis points)	34.71			34.76
