Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

NOTE C – INVESTMENT SECURITIES

We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale. 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.

Our marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale consist primarily of investments in mutual funds, preferred stock and corporate bonds. The fair values of mutual funds are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of preferred stock, corporate bonds and certificates of deposits are based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As a result, preferred stock, corporate bonds and certificates of deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our marketable securities held to maturity at September 26, 2020 are summarized as follows:

						Gross				Gross				Fair
		*Amortized*				*Unrealized*				*Unrealized*				*Market*
		*Cost*				*Gains*				*Losses*				*Value*
		(in thousands)
Corporate Bonds		$	68,078			$	1,015			$	32			$	69,061
Total marketable securities held to maturity		$	68,078			$	1,015			$	32			$	69,061

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our marketable securities available for sale at September 26, 2020 are summarized as follows:

						Gross				Gross				Fair

Mutual Funds		$	3,588			$	-			$	738			$	2,850
Preferred Stock			11,596				116				586				11,126
Total marketable securities available for sale		$	15,184			$	116			$	1,324			$	13,976

The mutual funds seek current income with an emphasis on maintaining low volatility and overall moderate duration. The mutual funds presently generate income of about 5.0% per year. We have invested $11 million in Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock which generates fixed income to call dates in 2020 and 2025 and then income is based on a spread above LIBOR if the securities are not called. The annual yield from these investments is presently 4.2%, of which 50% is not subject to income tax. The mutual funds and the Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock investment securities do not have contractual maturities; however, we classify them as long term assets as it is our intent to hold them for a period of over one year, although we may sell some or all of them depending on presently unanticipated needs for liquidity or market conditions. We have invested $68 million in corporate bonds which generate fixed income to maturity dates in 2020 through 2022, with $51 million maturing prior to the end of our fiscal year 2021. The bonds presently generate income of about 2.8% per year based on purchase price. Our expectation is that we will hold the corporate bonds to their maturity dates and redeem them at our amortized cost.
