Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value for financial assets and liabilities, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. As of March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company's only assets and liabilities subject to this standard are forward exchange contracts and mutual fund investments. The fair value of the forward exchange contracts based on current pricing obtained for comparable derivative products (Level 2 inputs) was an asset of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2013, and was negligible as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of the investments based on March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, market quotes (Level 1 inputs) was an asset of $20.1 million and $20.3 million, respectively.

The carrying values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short term borrowings approximated fair values as of March 31, 2013. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities, is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2 inputs). The carrying value of the long-term debt at March 31, 2013, was $327.6 million. The fair value of the long-term debt at March 31, 2013, was $347.0 million.
