Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]
Note 12
We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity.  The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2
Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

We have concluded that the carrying value of certificates of deposit placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service equals fair market value.  Other marketable securities held to maturity values are derived solely from level 1 inputs.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at December 24, 2011 are summarized as follows:
