business operations. Long-term debt with fixed interest rates is used to assist in managing debt maturities and to
diversify sources of debt capital.
The company makes long-term loans to certain retail customers (see Notes Receivable in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information) and as such, carries notes receivable in the normal
course of business. The notes generally bear fixed interest rates negotiated with each retail customer. The market
value of the fixed rate notes is subject to change due to fluctuations in market interest rates. At February 22,
2003, the estimated fair value of notes receivable approximates the net carrying value.
The table below provides information about the company’s financial instruments that are sensitive to
changes in interest rates, including notes receivable, debt obligations and interest rate swap agreements. For debt
obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected
maturity dates. For notes receivable, the table presents the expected collection of principal cash flows and
weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swap agreements, the table presents
the estimate of the differentials between interest payable and interest receivable under the swap agreements
implied by the yield curve utilized to compute the fair value of the interest rate swaps.
