Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1:
  
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
 
 
Level 2:
  
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
 
 
Level 3:
  
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following table provides a summary of the recognized assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Included in Level 1 assets are mutual fund investments under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company estimates the fair value of these investments on a recurring basis using readily available market prices.
There were no liabilities measured at fair value and there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets or liabilities for any of the periods presented.
Level 3 Valuation Techniques
Financial assets and liabilities are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and adjusted to fair value under certain circumstances that include those described in Note 9, Impairment Charges and Store Closing Costs. The categorization used to measure the implied fair value of long-lived assets is considered a Level 3 measurement due to the subjective nature of the observable inputs used to determine the fair value.
