Carrying Amounts and Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020.  The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, all of which had fair values approximating carrying amounts.  The fair value of current and long-term debt was estimated based on rates offered to the Company at that time for debt of the same maturities.  The Company has off-balance sheet exposures relating to certain letters of credit.  The fair value of these, which represents fees associated with obtaining the instruments, was nominal.
