The FASB ASC topic entitled Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as 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 (exit price). The accounting guidance classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
 
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liability
 
Level 2
Observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
 
The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation methods used by the Company for each significant class of investments are summarized below.
 
Mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and obligations of states and political subdivisions – Valued based on prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor using both market and income approaches. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, and credit spreads.
 
Common stocks – Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
 
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
 
Available for sale securities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

(1) Represents impairment not related to credit for those investment securities that have been determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
(2) Represents unrealized losses on investment securities that have not been determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
 
The Company’s investment policy requires investments to be rated A or better with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The Company does not intend to sell the securities that have an unrealized loss shown in the table above and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of their amortized costs bases, which may be maturity. The Company recognizes the credit component of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities in "Other Income" and the noncredit component in "Other comprehensive income (loss)" for those securities that we do not intend to sell and for which it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell before recovery. During 2014 and 2013, the Company did not record any material impairment charges on its outstanding securities.
 
The fair value of our securities varies from period to period due to changes in interest rates, in the performance of the underlying collateral and in the credit performance of the underlying issuer, among other factors.   In 2013, the Company experienced unrealized, non-cash losses on its investment portfolio resulting in a balance of $57,356 and $4,377 of gross other-than-temporary impairment and other unrealized losses on marketable securities at December 28, 2013.  The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities at an unrealized loss position at December 28, 2013 were $1,215,498 and $1,153,765, respectively.  This decrease in estimated fair value was primarily due to market valuations on mortgage-backed securities and obligations of states and political subdivisions declining.  The decline was due to increases in the 10 Year Treasury Bond Yield during 2013, which caused market valuations of securities in our investment portfolios to decline.   
 
The 10 Year Treasury Bond Yield decreased in 2014, resulting in a balance of $21,739 and $5,125 of gross other-than-temporary impairment and other unrealized losses on marketable securities at June 28, 2014. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities at an unrealized loss position at June 28, 2014 were $1,026,696 and $999,832, respectively. Approximately 43% of securities in our portfolio were at an unrealized loss position at June 28, 2014. We have the ability to hold these securities until maturity or their value is recovered. We do not consider these unrealized losses to be other than temporary credit losses because there has been no deterioration in credit quality and no change in the cash flows of the underlying securities. We do not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities; therefore, no impairment has been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income.
 
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
 
The following table displays additional information regarding gross unrealized losses and fair value by major security type for available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 28, 2014. There was an immaterial amount of unrealized losses related to securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of December 28, 2013.
