Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and current accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short term nature or maturity of the instruments.

The Company maintains a rabbi trust to fund obligations under a deferred compensation plan. Amounts in the rabbi trust are invested in mutual funds, which are designated as trading securities and carried at fair value and are included in Other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Fair market value of mutual funds is measured using level 1 inputs (quoted prices for identical assets in active markets).

The following tables present the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 17, 2022 and December 26, 2021 (in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property, plant and equipment, right of use assets, and other intangible assets. These assets are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired.

The Company has measured non-financial assets for impairment using continuing and projected future cash flows, which were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represented a level 3 fair value measurement. See Note 5, Other Charges, net.

We impaired long-lived restaurant assets at three Company-owned restaurants with a carrying value of $3.0 million, recognizing an impairment expense of $2.1 million related to the net book value of long-lived restaurant assets for these restaurants. The impairment was recorded as a result of changes in the lease term of these locations.

Disclosures of Fair Value of Other Assets and Liabilities

The Company's liability under its credit facility is carried at historical cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value approximated the fair value of the credit facility as of April 17, 2022 and December 26, 2021, as the interest rate on the instrument approximated current market rates. The interest rate on the credit facility represents a level 2 fair value input.
