Fair Value Measurements |
Note 4—Fair Value Measurements
At January 31, 2013, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. At January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the Company had $6.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively, in investments in hedge funds, of which $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were included in “Investments—short-term” and $6.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively, were included in “Investments—long-term” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s investments in hedge funds are accounted for using the equity method or the cost method, therefore investments in hedge funds are not measured at fair value.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments was determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting these data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents—short-term, investments—short-term, other current assets, customer deposits, notes payable—current portion and other current liabilities. At January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the carrying amount of these assets approximated fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. The fair value estimates for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents—short-term were classified as Level 1 and investments—short-term, other current assets, customer deposits, notes payable—current portion and other current liabilities were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents—long-term. At January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the carrying amount of restricted cash and cash equivalents—long-term approximated fair value. The fair value was estimated based on the anticipated cash flows once the restrictions are removed, which was classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other liabilities. At January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the carrying amount of other liabilities approximated fair value. The fair value was estimated based on the Company’s assumptions, which was classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s notes payable—long-term portion at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 without incurring excessive cost. Notes payable—long-term portion included the following: (1) a term loan with a carrying amount of $6.8 million and $6.9 million (excluding the current portion) at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively, that bears interest at the rate of 5.6% per annum, and is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $0.1 million and a final installment of $6.4 million payable on September 1, 2015, which is secured by a mortgage on a building in Piscataway, New Jersey, and (2) a note payable with a carrying amount of $21.6 million and $22.8 million (excluding the current portion) at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively, that bears interest at the rate of 8.9% per annum, however, until March 31, 2013, the Company only pays interest at the rate of 6.9% per annum, the interest of 2.0% per annum that is accruing but is not payable is added to the principal balance (an aggregate of $1.9 million), monthly payments of principal and interest of $0.2 million commence beginning in April 2013 and a final payment of $20.4 million is due on April 1, 2020, which is secured by a mortgage on the building at 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey.
The Company’s investments-long-term at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 included investments in the equity of certain
privately held entities and other investments that are accounted for at cost. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these investments because of the lack of a quoted market price for the shares of these entities, and the inability to estimate their fair value without incurring excessive cost. The carrying value of these investments was $2.1 million and $1.1 million at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively, which the Company believes was not impaired. |
