Basis of Presentation
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sypris Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
The Company’s operations are domiciled in the United States (U.S.) and Mexico, and we serve a wide variety of domestic and international customers. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented, and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results for the three and six months ended July 2, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2016 as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount it expects to receive for those goods and services. This ASU requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates and changes in those estimates. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to January 1, 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. In April of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which reduces the complexity when applying the guidance for identifying performance obligations and improves the operability and understandability of the license implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (ASU 2016-12), which amends the guidance on transition, collectability, non-cash consideration, and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. ASU 2016-12 clarifies that, for a contract to be considered completed at transition, all (or substantially all) of the revenue must have been recognized under existing U.S. GAAP. In addition, ASU 2016-12 clarifies how an entity should evaluate the collectability threshold and when an entity can recognize nonrefundable consideration received as revenue if an arrangement does not meet the standard’s contract criteria. The standard allows for both retrospective and modified retrospective methods of adoption. While the Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on the consolidated financial statements and is currently assessing its contracts with customers, the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position. The Company anticipates it will expand the consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the new standard and has not concluded on the transition method upon adoption.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This standard affects any entity that enters into a lease, with some specified scope exemptions. The guidance in this update supersedes FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We believe the adoption of the standard will likely have a material impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the recognition of certain operating leases as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. We are in the early process of analyzing our lease portfolio and evaluating systems to comply with the standard’s retrospective adoption requirements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15). This ASU provides guidance to clarify how certain cash receipts and payments should be presented in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period. The updated guidance requires a modified retrospective adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-15 on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flow.
In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Current U.S. GAAP prohibits the recognition in earnings of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer until the asset is sold to an outside party or recovered through use. This amendment simplifies the accounting by requiring entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The new guidance, which could impact effective tax rates, becomes effective January 1, 2018 and requires modified retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which interim or annual financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flow.
In November 2016, the FASB released guidance that addresses the diversity in practice in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018 and must be applied on a retrospective basis. This guidance will result in a change in presentation of our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07). The update requires employers to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, including interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost/credit and actuarial gain/loss, and settlement and curtailment effects, are to be presented outside of any subtotal of operating income. Employers will have to disclose the line(s) used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if the components are not presented separately in the income statement. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, which is an update to Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The update provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards, including stock options, require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company completed a number of strategic actions during 2015 and 2016 in response to the nonrenewal of supply agreements with certain Tier I automotive customers primarily due to global pricing constraints, the downturn in the commercial vehicle market beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015 and other market and economic factors impacting the Company. Strategic actions taken during 2015 and 2016 included: (i) initiation of the Company’s exit from the Broadway Plant (defined below) (see Note 5), (ii) the CSS Sale (defined below) (see Note 6), (iii) the Toluca Sale-Leaseback (defined below) (see Note 7), (iv) the sale of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Morganton, North Carolina in 2015, (v) the relocation of its Sypris Electronics operation to a new facility (see discussion below), (vi) reductions in workforce at all locations, and (vii) other reductions in employment costs through reduced work schedules, senior management pay reductions and deferral of merit increases and certain benefit payments. Using a portion of the proceeds generated from the asset sales noted above, the Company paid off all of its most senior secured debt consisting of a “Term Loan” and “Revolving Credit Facility” in August 2016. During this period, the Company also received the benefit of cash infusions from Gill Family Capital Management, Inc. (“GFCM”) in the form of secured promissory note obligations totaling $6,500,000 in principal, scheduled to mature in 2019.
During 2016, the Company also initiated the process of qualifying production for certain oil and gas industry components in Mexico that were previously produced solely in the U.S. Qualification of production for the first group of these components was completed for the Mexico facility during 2016.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company completed the relocation of its operations for Sypris Electronics to a 50,000 square foot leased facility in Tampa, Florida. Sypris Electronics previously leased a facility also located in Tampa of approximately 300,000 square feet for its operations which also included its CSS product lines. All manufacturing operations for Sypris Electronics are now performed in the new facility, which has resulted in a significant reduction in rent and related operating expenses effective January 1, 2017 as compared to 2016.
The Company has embraced a repositioning away from certain of its traditional Tier 1 customers that represent the primary suppliers to the original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the commercial vehicle markets, while targeting to replace these customers with longer-term relationships, especially among the heavy truck, off-highway and automotive OEMs and others who place a higher value on the Company’s innovation, flexibility and core commitment to lean manufacturing principles. Among the customer programs not being renewed was a supply agreement with Meritor Inc. (“Meritor”), which expired on January 1, 2017, which was produced at the Company’s Louisville, Kentucky automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturing plant (the “Broadway Plant”). The Company similarly has experienced a reduction in certain portions of its business with Eaton
Corporation (“Eaton”). As a result of these decisions, the Company anticipates a significant reduction in its commercial vehicle revenues in 2017 (See Note 5).

Exit and Disposal Activities
|
On November 22, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved moving forward with the exploration of a range of strategic options for the Broadway Plant, including the divestiture of the plant, the transitional reduction in its operations to accommodate lower volumes, the relocation of production to other Company facilities, as needed, and/or the closure of the plant. Accordingly, management explored various exit or disposal options for the Broadway Plant with the input of our salaried and unionized employees, our customers and others within the industry. On February 21, 2017, with the benefit of management’s analysis, the Board of Directors approved a modified exit or disposal plan with respect to the Broadway Plant, which is now expected to continue certain transitional operations into 2018. The Company has begun relocating certain assets from the Broadway Plant to other manufacturing facilities, as needed, to serve its existing and target customer base and to identify underutilized or non-core assets for disposal. Management expects to use proceeds from the sale of any underutilized or non-core assets to fund costs incurred in the transfer of equipment from the Broadway Plant and the transition of the related production. Management will evaluate options for the real estate and any remaining assets in the Broadway Plant following the completion of production at that facility.
As a result of these initiatives, the Company recorded charges of $645,000, or $0.03 per share in 2016. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2017, the Company recorded charges of $880,000, or $0.04 per share, and $1,878,000 or $0.09 per share, respectively, related to the transition of production from the Broadway Plant, which is included in severance, relocation and other costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Severance and benefit-related costs tied to workforce reductions were recorded in accordance with ASC 420,
Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420) and ASC 712, Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits. Under ASC 420, one-time termination benefits that are conditioned on employment through a certain transition period are recognized ratably between the date employees are communicated the details of the one-time termination benefit and their final date of service. Accordingly, the Company recorded severance and benefit-related costs of $427,000 in 2016 and $1,005,000 in the first six months of 2017. No additional severance and benefit-related costs are expected to be recorded.
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Asset. The Company’s strategic decision to transition production from the Broadway Plant led to a $188,000 non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2016. The charge was based on the excess of carrying value of certain assets not expected to be redeployed over their respective fair value. Fair values for these assets were determined based on discounted cash flow analyses.

The Company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $2,379,000 within Sypris Technologies, all of which are expected to be cash expenditures.
As noted above, management expects to use proceeds from the sale of underutilized or non-core assets to fund costs incurred on the transfer of equipment from the Broadway Plant and the transition of the related production.

On August 16, 2016, the Company completed the sale of certain assets, intellectual property, contracts and other assets of Sypris Electronics (the “CSS Sale”) comprised principally of the CSS product lines. The assets were sold for $42,000,000 in cash consideration, $1,500,000 of which is held in escrow for up to 12 months from the sale date in connection with certain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnifications of the Company. The total net book value of the related business assets included in the sale was $8,137,000, and consisted of $6,613,000 in inventories, $1,050,000 in fixed assets, $624,000 in other current assets and $150,000 in accrued liabilities. The Company incurred transaction related expenses of $2,674,000, and the Company recognized a net gain of $31,189,000 on the sale, which was reported in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.
A portion of the proceeds from the CSS Sale was used to pay off the Company’s most senior, secured debt consisting of a “Term Loan” and a “Revolving Credit Facility.” The retained portion of the Sypris Electronics segment will continue to provide circuit card and full “box build” electronic manufacturing to customers in the aerospace, defense, medical and severe environment markets, among others.
Revenue from the CSS product lines for the six months ended July 3, 2016 was $9,310,000.
While the Company is able to distinguish revenue and contribution margin information related to the CSS product lines, the Company is not able to present meaningful information about the results of operations and cash flows of the CSS product lines. Therefore, the sale was not classified as a discontinued operation.

Toluca Sale-Leaseback
|
On March 9, 2016, Sypris Technologies Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (the “Seller”), a subsidiary of the Company, concluded its sale of the 24-acre Toluca property pursuant to an agreement with Promotora y Desarrolladora Pulso Inmobiliario, S.C. (together with its affiliates and assignees, the “Buyer”) for 215,000,000 Mexican Pesos, or approximately $12,182,000 in U.S. currency. Simultaneously, the Seller and the Buyer entered into a long-term lease of the 9 acres and the buildings needed for the Seller’s ongoing business in Toluca (collectively, the “Toluca Sale-Leaseback”). The Company incurred transaction related expenses of $1,116,000.
As a result of the Toluca Sale-Leaseback, the Company initially recorded a capital lease of $3,315,000, which is included in property plant and equipment. The Company recorded an initial gain on the sale of $2,370,000 during the six months ended July 3, 2016, which is included in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, and has a deferred gain of $4,734,000 as of July 2, 2017, which will be recognized over the remainder of the ten year lease term. The Company’s base rent, which is denominated in U.S. currency, is $936,000 annually, adjusted based on annual changes in the U.S. CPI with certain cap conditions.

During the six months ended July 2, 2017, the Company recognized net gains of $2,537,000 related to the sale of idle assets. Additionally, the Company recognized foreign currency related translation losses of $604,000 related to the U.S. dollar denominated monetary asset position of our Mexican subsidiaries for which the Mexican peso is the functional currency.
For the six months ended July 3, 2016, the Company recognized a net gain of $2,370,000 related to the Toluca Sale-Leaseback (see Note 7) and foreign currency related translation gains of $146,000.

Stock-Based Compensation
|
During the six months ended July 2, 2017, the Company granted 199,000 restricted stock awards under a long-term incentive program. These awards vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The Company also granted 272,500 options during the six months ended July 2, 2017 with a five-year life and cliff vesting at three years of service. The grants did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and six months ended July 2, 2017.

Loss Per Common Share
|
The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock granted by the Company is considered a participating security since it contains a non-forfeitable right to dividends.
Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options and restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016, diluted weighted average common shares do not include the impact of any outstanding stock options and unvested compensation-related shares because the effect of these items on diluted net loss would be anti-dilutive.
A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share is as follows (in thousands):

Note Payable – Related Party
The Company has received the benefit of cash infusions from GFCM in the form of secured promissory note obligations totaling $6,500,000 in principal as of July 2, 2017 and December 31, 2016. GFCM is an entity controlled by the Company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, Jeffrey T. Gill and one of our directors, R. Scott Gill. GFCM, Jeffrey T. Gill and R. Scott Gill are significant beneficial stockholders of the Company. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per year, payable quarterly, and the principal is due on January 30, 2019.
Obligations under the promissory note are guaranteed by all of the U.S. subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority lien on certain domestic assets of the Company.
Capital Lease Obligation
On March 9, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its 24-acre Toluca property for 215,000,000 Mexican Pesos, or approximately $12,182,000 in U.S. dollars. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a ten-year lease of the 9 acres and buildings currently occupied by the Company and needed for its ongoing business in Toluca (see Note 7). As a result of the Toluca Sale-Leaseback, the Company has a capital lease obligation of $3,066,000 for the building as of July 2, 2017.
The Company is organized into two business segments, Sypris Technologies and Sypris Electronics. The segments are each managed separately because of the distinctions between the products, markets, customers, technologies and workforce skills of the segments. Sypris Technologies manufactures forged and finished steel components and subassemblies and also manufactures high-pressure closures and other fabricated products. Sypris Electronics is focused on circuit card and full “box build” manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing, systems assembly and integration, design for manufacturability and design to specification work. Additionally, prior to August 16, 2016, Sypris Electronics provided the CSS product lines (see Note 6). There was no intersegment net revenue recognized in any of the periods presented.

Commitments and Contingencies
|
The provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The Company’s warranty liability, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 2
,
2017 and December 31, 2016 was $581,000 and $856,000, respectively. The Company’s warranty expense for the three and six months ended July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016 was not material.
Additionally, prior to the sale of the CSS product lines (see Note 6) the Company sold three- and five-year extended warranties for certain link encryption products. The revenue from the extended warranties is deferred and recognized ratably over the contractual term. As of July 2, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had deferred $46,000 and $162,000, respectively, related to extended warranties.
The Company bears insurance risk as a member of a group captive insurance entity for certain general liability, automobile and workers’ compensation insurance programs, a self-insured worker’s compensation program and a self-insured employee health program. The Company records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated insurance-related liabilities on a quarterly basis. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
The Company is involved in certain litigation and contract issues arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot, at this time, be predicted in light of the uncertainties inherent therein, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
The Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Estimated loss contingencies are accrued only if the loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to a particular loss contingency, it may be probable that a loss has occurred but the estimate of the loss is within a wide range or undeterminable. If the Company deems an amount within the range to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount will be accrued. However, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued.
On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into a lease for a manufacturing facility, effective December 31, 2016. The Company, Sypris Electronics and the landlord of the previous Tampa facility were involved in litigation over certain terms of the previous lease (see Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”). As such, the Company accrued an estimated $500,000 during the six months ended July 3, 2016, related to its estimated obligation under the lease and repairs required to be made to the facility. During the first six months of 2017, the Company had spent $52,000 in repairs to the facility as part of the dispute. On April 7, 2017, the Company entered a settlement agreement, whereby the Company’s net cash outlay was $448,000 to resolve the disputes and the legal proceeding was dismissed.
The Company has various current and previously-owned facilities subject to a variety of environmental regulations. The Company has received certain indemnifications either from companies previously owning these facilities or from purchasers of those facilities. As of July 2, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no amounts were accrued for any environmental matters.
On December 16, 2016, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the U.S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) containing proposed findings related to the DOL’s recent audit of the Company’s 401(k) Plans for the five year period from 2011 through 2015 (collectively, the “Plan”). Among other things, the Letter alleges several potential violations of the Plan documents and ERISA provisions and requests that the Company take appropriate corrective actions and notify the DOL of its responses. On March 3, 2017, the Company formally disagreed with all of the DOL’s findings, but has offered a resolution that involves de minimis amounts of additional contributions into the Plan. The Company regards the DOL’s remaining allegations to be without merit and plans to vigorously defend any potential enforcement action in the future.
As of July 2, 2017, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $9,601,000, primarily for the acquisition of inventory and manufacturing equipment.
The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from period to period due to the proportion of foreign and domestic pre-tax income expected to be generated by the Company. The Company provides for income taxes for its domestic operations at a statutory rate of 35% and for its foreign operations at a statutory rate of 30% in 2017 and 2016. Reconciling items between the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate also include the expected usage of federal net operating loss carryforwards, state income taxes, valuation allowances and certain other permanent differences.
The Company recognizes liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates its deferred tax position on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. During this evaluation, the Company reviews its forecast of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. Based on its current forecast, the Company has established a valuation allowance against the domestic and foreign net deferred tax asset. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. and non-U.S. tax benefits.
As of July 2, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has no undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are classified as permanently reinvested. The Company did not repatriate any funds to the U.S. during 2016 and expects the repatriation of any available non-U.S. cash holdings during 2017 will be limited to the amount of undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2016. The loss recognized by the Company’s Mexican operations during 2016 and the first six months of 2017 reduced the undistributed earnings of that entity and the Company has therefore recognized a deferred income tax benefit equal to the reduction in the U.S deferred tax liability and a corresponding increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Should the U.S. valuation allowance be released at some future date, the U.S. tax on foreign earnings not permanently reinvested might have a material effect on our effective tax rate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements at their carrying amount which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of debt outstanding at July 2, 2017 approximates fair value, and is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments (Level 2).
