FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company also valued certain long-lived assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of January 31, 2022 as part of its long-lived asset impairment testing. The estimated fair value of such assets as of January 31, 2022 was $3.1 million. Fair value was estimated through an income approach incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs, and are deemed to be Level 3 fair value inputs. The most significant unobservable inputs include forecasted net cash generated from the use of the assets and the discount rate applied to such cash flows to arrive at a fair value estimate. In addition, in certain instances, in the prior year, the Company estimated the fair value of long-lived assets to approximate zero as no future cash flows were assumed to be generated from the use of such assets and the expected value to be realized upon disposition was deemed to be nominal.

The Company also has financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, including cash, receivables, payables and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values as of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022. Fair value of these financial instruments was estimated based on Level 2 fair value inputs. The estimated fair value of the Company's Level 2 long-term debt, which is provided for disclosure purposes only, is as follows:


	July 31, 2022		January 31, 2022
	(in thousands)
Carrying amount	$	81,324	$	63,237
Fair value	$	72,516	$	68,267
