____________________________
(1) | We maintain an unfunded defined contribution plan for key executives and other members of management. The fair value of this obligation is based on the closing market prices of the participants’ elected investments.
(2) | We entered into interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to rising interest rates on our variable rate debt. The fair values of our interest rate swaps are based upon Level 2 inputs which include valuation models as reported by our counterparties. The key inputs for the valuation models are quoted market prices, discount rates and forward yield curves.
(3) | We did not have any transfers in or out of Level 1, 2 or 3.
The fair values of our debt instruments are based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using our borrowing rate. At July 9, 2017, the carrying value of all financial instruments was not materially different from fair value, as the borrowings are prepayable without penalty. The estimated fair values of our capital lease obligations approximated their carrying values as of July 9, 2017. Non-financial assets and liabilities — Our non-financial instruments, which primarily consist of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, are reported at carrying value and are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable, non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment. If applicable, the carrying values are written down to fair value. In connection with our impairment reviews performed during 2017, no material fair value adjustments were required. Refer to Note 6, Impairment and Other Charges, Net, for additional information regarding impairment charges. During fiscal 2017, we closed six Jack in the Box company-operated restaurants in connection with the sale of the related markets to franchisees, and recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 million against the gain on sale of company-operated restaurants. Refer to Note 3, Summary of Refranchisings, Franchisee Development and Acquisitions, for additional information regarding these sales.
