Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Note 13. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. Notes receivable are entered into in connection with the purchase of distributors’ territories by independent distributors. These notes receivable are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at carrying value, which represents the closest approximation of fair value. Fair value is defined 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. As a result, the appropriate interest rate that should be used to estimate the fair value of the distributor notes is the prevailing market rate at which similar loans would be made to distributors with similar credit ratings and for the same maturities. However, the company financed approximately 3,400 and 2,850 independent distributors as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, all with varied financial histories and credit risks. Considering the diversity of credit risks among the independent distributors, the company has no method to accurately determine a market interest rate to apply to the notes. The territories are generally financed for up to ten years and the distributor notes are collateralized by the independent distributors’ territories. The company maintains a wholly-owned subsidiary to assist in financing route purchase activities if requested by new independent sales distributors, using the route and certain associated assets as collateral. These notes receivable earn interest at a fixed rate. The fair value of the company’s variable rate debt at December 28, 2013 approximates the recorded value. The fair value of the notes issued on April 3, 2012, as discussed in Note 11, Debt, Lease and Other Commitments, is approximately $397.9 million while the carrying value is $399.2 million on December 28, 2013. The fair value of the notes is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements and is considered a Level 2 valuation. For fair value disclosure information about our derivative assets and liabilities see Note 8, Derivative Financial Instruments. For fair value disclosure information about our pension plan net assets see Note 18, Postretirement Plans. At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, the carrying value of the distributor notes was as follows (amounts in thousands):
|  | December 28, 2013 |  |  | December 29, 2012 |
Distributor notes receivable |  | $ | 161,560 |  |  | $ | 118,481 |
Current portion of distributor notes receivable recorded in accounts and notes receivable, net |  |  | 18,715 |  |  |  | 15,758 |
Long-term portion of distributor notes receivable |  | $ | 142,845 |  |  | $ | 102,723 |
Interest income for the distributor notes receivable was as follows (amounts in thousands):
|  | Interest Income |
Fiscal 2013 |  | $ | 16,015 |
Fiscal 2012 |  | $ | 13,672 |
Fiscal 2011 |  | $ | 13,112 |
At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, the company has evaluated the collectability of the distributor notes and determined that a reserve is not necessary. Payments on these distributor notes are collected by the company weekly in conjunction with the distributor settlement process.
