Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We follow FASB (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, for financial assets and liabilities and for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on at least an annual basis. Topic 820 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 at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of non-performance. Topic 820 establishes a fair market hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to evaluation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data. • Level 3 Inputs – One or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and that reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, and significant management judgment or estimation. Interest Rate Swap Agreements At October 1, 2022, we had two variable rate instruments outstanding that are impacted by changes in interest rates. The interest rate of the first variable rate debt instrument is equal to the lender’s LIBOR Rate plus two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) per annum and the second variable rate debt instrument is equal to the lender’s BSBY Screen Rate plus one and one-half percent (1.50%) per annum. The debt instrument further provides that the “LIBOR Rate” is a rate of interest equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate or successor thereto approved by the lender if the British Bankers Association is no longer making a LIBOR rate available and the “BSBY Screen Rate is a rate of interest equal to the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Interest Rate or successor thereto approved by the lender. In December 2016, we closed on a secured revolving line of credit which entitled us to borrow, from time to time through December 28, 2017, up to $5,500,000 (the “Credit Line”), which on December 28, 2017 converted to a term loan (the “Term Loan”). Subsequent to the end of our fiscal year 2022, (December 28, 2022) we paid the balance of the Term Loan in full. In September 2022, we refinanced the mortgage loan encumbering the property where our combination package liquor store and restaurant located at 4 N. Federal Highway, Hallandale Beach, Florida, (Store #31) operates, which mortgage loan is held by an unaffiliated third party lender (the “$8.90M Loan”). As a means of managing our interest rate risk on these debt instruments, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with our unrelated third party lender to convert these variable rate debt obligations to fixed rates. We are currently party to the following two (2) interest rate swap agreements: (i) The first interest rate swap agreement entered into in December 2016 and became effective December 28, 2017, relates to the Term Loan (the “Term Loan Swap”). The Term Loan Swap requires us to pay interest for a five (5) year period at a fixed rate of 4.61% on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $5,500,000, while receiving interest for the same period at LIBOR – 1 Month, plus 2.25%, on the same amortizing notional principal amount. We determined that at October 1, 2022, the interest rate swap agreement is an effective hedging agreement and the fair value was not material. Subsequent to the end of our fiscal year 2022 (December 28, 2022) we paid the balance of the Term Loan in full, which was the same date the swap agreement matured; and (ii) The second interest rate swap agreement entered into in September 2022 relates to the $8.90M Loan (the “$8.90M Term Loan Swap”). The $8.90M Term Loan Swap requires us to pay interest for a fifteen (15) year period at a fixed rate of 4.90% on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $8,900,000, while receiving interest for the same period at BSBY Screen Rate – 1 Month, plus 1.50%, on the same amortizing notional principal amount. We determined that at October 1, 2022, the interest rate swap agreement is an effective hedging agreement and the fair value was not material.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We follow FASB (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, for financial assets and liabilities and for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on at least an annual basis. Topic 820 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 at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of non-performance. Topic 820 establishes a fair market hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

•

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to evaluation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data.
