* Included in the carrying value of long-lived assets held for sale as of June 5, 2012 and May 31, 2011 are $21.8 million and $23.3 million, respectively, of assets included in Construction in progress and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as we do not expect to sell these assets within the next 12 months.

Carrying Amounts and Fair Values of Other Financial Instruments Not Measured on a Recurring Basis

Our financial instruments at June 5, 2012 and May 31, 2011 consisted of cash and short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable, long-term debt, letters of credit, and, as previously discussed, for fiscal 2011, deferred compensation plan investments.  The fair values of cash and short-term investments and accounts receivable and payable approximated carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The carrying amounts and fair values of our other financial instruments not measured on a recurring basis using fair value, however subject to fair value disclosures are as follows (in thousands):

	June 5, 2012				May 31, 2011
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Deferred Compensation Plan
investment in RTI common stock*					$	1,556	$	1,653
Long-term debt and capital leases	$	326,663	$	312,225		344,274		348,272
Letters of credit		-		222		-		178

*Fiscal 2012 amounts are not presented for the investment in RTI common stock in the Deferred Compensation Plan as this investment is now measured at fair value on a recurring basis and is reflected in the table above.
