Note 13

Investments

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 input 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.

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 deposit 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 deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at December 24, 2022 are summarized as follows:

						Gross				Gross				Fair
		Amortized				Unrealized				Unrealized				Market
		Cost				Gains				Losses				Value

Corporate Bonds			2,008				-				10				1,998
Total marketable securities held to maturity		$	2,008			$	-			$	10			$	1,998

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities available for sale at December 24, 2022 are summarized as follows:

Mutual Funds		$	3,588			$	-			$	774			$	2,814
Preferred Stock			1,519				38				-				1,557
Total marketable securities available for sale		$	5,107			$	38			$	774			$	4,371

The mutual funds seek current income with an emphasis on maintaining low volatility and overall moderate duration. The Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock generate fixed income to call dates in 2025 and then income is based on a spread above LIBOR if the securities are not called. The mutual funds and Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock 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. The corporate bonds generate fixed income with all remaining $2 million maturing within our fiscal year 2023. Our expectation is that we will hold the corporate bonds to their maturity dates and redeem them at our amortized cost.
