Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic Under the FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. As noted above, there is a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amount for borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate charged to the Company for these borrowings. The fair value of the Company’s long term fixed-rate debt to unrelated parties was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis and a yield rate that was estimated based on the borrowing rates for bank loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s fixed-rate debt of $11.0 million at December 31, 2016 was $10.8 million. The Company uses fair value measurements on a non-recurring basis in its assessment of goodwill and long-lived assets held and used. In accordance with its annual impairment test during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $36.9 million, which represented the entire amount of goodwill carried on the Company’s balance sheet. Refer to Note 4, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 for further information. |
