Basis of Accounting

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

Investment Valuation

Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Plan uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of investments:

Interest bearing cash - Valued at its holding amount.

Common stock, mutual funds and collective trust funds - Valued at the published net asset value (“NAV”) or market price per share.

Self-directed brokerage accounts – Include various securities, mainly consisting of cash and cash equivalents, common stock, exchange-traded funds, and mutual funds, which are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the securities are traded.

The fair value hierarchy under the accounting standard for fair value measurements consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Plan has the ability to access;
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and
Level 3 – Valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and include the use of judgment by the company’s management about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables set forth the fair value hierarchy levels of the Plan’s assets at fair value at December 31, (dollars in thousands):
