(11)         Fair value of financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments as of June 29, 2013 approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long term debt at June 29, 2013 approximated $1,781,000 (the carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet at June 29, 2013) based on recent financial market pricing. The long term debt represents a level 2 liability in accordance with the fair value hierarchy since it is based on significant observable inputs.
