(a)
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is its carrying value.
(b)
The Company is invested in a diversified growth fund. The diversified growth fund is valued at the last traded or official close for the underlying equities and bid or mid for the underlying fixed income securities depending on the portfolio benchmark. Where representative prices are unavailable, underlying fixed income investments are valued based on other observable market-based inputs.
(c)
This category includes investments in investment-grade fixed-income instruments and funds linked to U.K. treasury notes. The funds are valued using the bid amounts for each fund. All of the Company’s bond fund pension assets are invested in U.K.-linked treasuries as of December 31, 2015.
(d)
The insurance policy has been written by an insurance company with an A+ rating from Standard and Poors. The policy derives its value primarily from its underlying investments which consists of separate funds also managed by the underwriter. The policy’s holdings consist primarily of a unit trust fund, which is valued based on its underlying holdings of equities, fixed income securities, cash, and derivative instruments. Those underlying investments are valued at bid price on the last business day of the period when available. Other investments use the last available authorized price of the last business day of the period. Unquoted investments are valued based upon the fund manager’s opinion of fair value based primarily on other observable market-based inputs. Open positions in derivative contracts or foreign currency transactions are included at their mark to market value. Money market instruments are valued based upon amortized cost.  Term deposits are valued at their nominal value.
