FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts and tenant improvement receivables, accounts payable and all other current assets and liabilities, approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Other assets consist of long-term prepaid expenses and a deferred compensation plan with related assets held in a rabbi trust. Other long-term liabilities consist of a deferred gain on a supplier arrangement. Long-term prepaid expenses and other long-term liabilities approximate fair values due to the nature of these financial instruments.

Deferred Compensation Plan - 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 carried at fair value. The fair value measurement of these trading securities is considered Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as they are measured using quoted market prices.

As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the fair value of the mutual fund investments and deferred compensation obligations were as follows (in thousands):

Total assets$2,689 $3,196 
As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, we had no Level 2 or Level 3 assets.
The deferred compensation investments and obligations are included in other assets, accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of securities held in the rabbi trust are recognized as trading gains and losses and included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations and offsetting increases or decreases in the deferred compensation obligation are recorded in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Refer to Note 8. Debt for additional information relating to the fair value of the Company's outstanding debt instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include property and equipment, net, operating lease assets, equity-method investment, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. These assets are measured at fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges recognized during the quarters ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
