[1] In the first quarter of 2016, the Company implemented ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) which eliminates the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if the fair value is measured at NAV per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statement of financial position.
[2] This investment is a commercial real estate partnership that purchases land, develops limited infrastructure, and sells it for commercial development. The OPEB Plan trust was restricted from selling its partnership interest during the life of the partnership, which spanned 7 years. Return of investment is realized as land is sold. The fair value of the limited partnership interest in real estate is based on the NAV of the partnership which reflects the appraised value of the land. The partnership term expired on June 30, 2016. Upon expiration, dissolution of the partnership commenced and, as a result, the general partner of the partnership is attempting to sell the remaining inventory as soon as possible at the highest pricing possible.
