(O) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of our long-term debt has been estimated based upon our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of our Private Placement Senior Notes at June 30, 2016 is as follows:

	Fair Value
	(dollars in thousands)
Series 2005A Tranche C	$	59,197
Series 2007A Tranche B		8,074
Series 2007A Tranche C		25,025
Series 2007A Tranche D		40,108

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was based on quoted prices of similar debt instruments with similar terms that are publicly traded (level 2 input). The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values at June 30, 2016 due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of our Credit Facility also approximates its carrying value at June 30, 2016.
