FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 10 • FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets Level 2: Significant other observable inputs Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs Fair value estimates may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of the assets and liabilities. Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis We had no assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at October 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016. Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis There were no non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at October 31, 2016. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at April 30, 2016 consisted of real estate held for sale that was written-down to estimated fair value during fiscal year 2016. See Note 2 for additional information on impairment losses recognized during fiscal years 2017 and 2016. The aggregate fair value of these assets by their levels in the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

As of April 30, 2016, we estimated fair value on two properties held for sale based upon receipt of individual market offers and our intent to dispose of the properties. Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial assets and liabilities. The fair values of our financial instruments approximate their carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements except for debt. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity. Other Investments. The carrying amount, or cost plus accrued interest, of the certificates of deposit approximates fair value. Other Debt. For variable rate loans that re-price frequently, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated based on the discounted cash flows of the loans using relevant treasury interest rates plus credit spreads (Level 2). Line of Credit. The carrying amount approximates fair value because the variable rate debt re-prices frequently. Mortgages Payable. For variable rate loans that re-price frequently, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated based on the discounted cash flows of the loans using relevant treasury interest rates plus credit spreads (Level 2). The estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of October 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, are as follows:
|  | (in thousands) |
|  | October 31, 2016 |  | April 30, 2016 |
|  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |
