Fair Value Measurements
GAAP utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurement), then priority to quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market (Level 2 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
As of May 2, 2015 and January 31, 2015 the Company had $2,100,000 in Level 2 investments in the form of bank certificates of deposit which are used as cash collateral for the issuance of commercial letters of credit. The Company's investments in certificates of deposits were measured using inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and, therefore, were classified as Level 2 investments. As of May 2, 2015 and January 31, 2015 the Company also had a long-term variable rate Credit Facility with carrying values of $59,209,000 and $52,707,000, respectively. As of May 2, 2015 and January 31, 2015, $1,964,000 and $1,736,000 was classified as current. The fair value of the variable rate Credit Facility approximates and is based on its carrying value. The Company has no Level 3 investments that use significant unobservable inputs.
