Note 3—Fair Value Measurement

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The tables below present information as of November 20, 2011, and August 28, 2011, respectively, regarding the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicates the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value. As of these dates, the Company's holdings of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities were immaterial.

 

Changes in fair value, including net transfers, of all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the first quarter of 2012 were immaterial, and there were none in the first quarter of 2011. The Company reports transfers in and out of Levels 1, 2, and 3, as applicable, using the fair value of the individual securities as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2, or 3 during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include held-to-maturity investments that are carried at amortized cost and are not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. There were no fair value adjustments to these financial assets measured during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011.

Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include items such as long-lived assets that are measured at fair value resulting from an impairment, if deemed necessary. Fair value adjustments to these nonfinancial assets and liabilities during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 were immaterial.
