The fair value of the Company’s debt is based on estimates using standard pricing models that take into account the present value of future cash flows as of the balance sheet date.  The computation of the fair value of these instruments is generally performed by the Company.  The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, are summarized below:

 

  June 30, 2011   December 31, 2010
  Carrying   Fair   Carrying   Fair
   (In thousands) Value   Value   Value   Value
Long-term debt, including current portion $ 3,228   $ 3,136   $ 3,380   $ 3,286
Long-term debt – convertible debentures   1,450     1,417     1,475     1,424
  $ 4,678   $ 4,553   $ 4,855   $ 4,710

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, payables and accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.  Accordingly, these items have been excluded from the above table.
