Safeway manages interest rate risk through the strategic use of fixed- and variable-interest rate debt and, from time to time, interest rate
swaps. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does it utilize leveraged financial
instruments. At year-end 2013, the Company had no interest rate swaps outstanding.

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable;
Level 3
Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.
