Fair Value Measurements
 
We determine a fair value measurement based on the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability.  The fair value measurement guidance established a three level hierarchy making a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market (Level 1), (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (Level 2), and (iii) prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (Level 3).
 
 Carrying amounts for our financial instruments are not significantly different from their fair value, with the exception of our mortgage.  To determine the fair value of our mortgage, we used a discounted cash flow model. We believe the mortgage fair value valuation to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the valuation model has inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the liability. Assumptions critical to our fair value measurements in the period are present value factors used in determining fair value and an interest rate.  At September 29, 2012, the discounted carrying value and fair value of our mortgage was $234.9 million and $234.3 million, respectively.
