(1) The Real Estate & ENR segment includes the equity earnings from, investments in and advances to our Real Estate Development Ventures (as defined and described in Note 8: Related Parties), which are accounted for under the equity method.
(2) Unallocated items are gains or charges not related to or allocated to an individual operating segment. They include a portion of items such as: share-based compensation, pension and postretirement costs, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses associated with financing, equity earnings from our Timberland Venture (as defined and described in Note 8: Related Parties), the elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and the LIFO reserve. As a result of reclassifying our former Cellulose Fibers segment as discontinued operations, Unallocated items also includes retained indirect corporate overhead costs previously allocated to the former segment.

Management evaluates segment performance based on the contributions to earnings of the respective segments. An analysis and reconciliation of our business segment information to the consolidated financial statements follows:

(1) Assets attributable to the Real Estate & ENR business segment are combined with total assets for the Timberlands segment because we do not produce separate balance sheets internally.
(2) Unallocated Items total assets includes assets of discontinued operations.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 2016, we disposed of our former Cellulose Fibers segment, and during 2014 we disposed of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO), both of which are excluded from the segment results above unless otherwise noted. See Note 3: Discontinued Operations for information regarding our discontinued operations and the segments affected.
