Furthermore, NJNG surveys builders in its service area to gain insight into future development plans. NJNG has periodically engaged outside consultants to assist in its customer growth projections. In addition to customer growth through new construction, NJNG&#8217;s business strategy includes aggressively pursuing conversions from other fuels, such as oil, electricity and propane. NJNG estimates that during fiscal </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">48 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of NJNG&#8217;s projected customer growth will consist of conversions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG&#8217;s business is subject to various risks, such as those associated with adverse economic conditions, which can negatively impact customer growth, operating and financing costs, fluctuations in commodity prices, which can impact customer usage, customer conservation efforts, certain regulatory actions and environmental remediation. It is often difficult to predict the impact of trends associated with these risks. NJNG employs strategies to manage the challenges it faces, including pursuing customer conversions from other fuel sources and monitoring new construction markets through contact with developers, utilizing incentive programs through BPU-approved mechanisms to reduce gas costs, pursuing rate and other regulatory strategies designed to stabilize and decouple gross margin, and working actively

The relative measurement of the impact of weather is in degree-days. Degree-day data is used to estimate amounts of energy required to maintain comfortable indoor temperature levels based on each day&#8217;s average temperature. A degree-day is the measure of the variation in the weather based on the extent to which the average daily temperature falls below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Each degree of temperature below 65 degrees Fahrenheit is counted as one heating degree-day. Normal heating degree-days are based on a 20-year average, calculated based on three reference areas representative of NJNG&#8217;s service territory.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The CIP, a mechanism authorized by the BPU, stabilizes NJNG&#8217;s utility gross margin, regardless of variations in weather. In addition, the CIP decouples the link between utility gross margin and customer usage, allowing NJNG to promote energy conservation measures. Recovery of utility gross margin is subject to additional conditions, including an earnings test, a revenue test and an evaluation of BGSS-related savings achieved over a 12-month period. In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">May 2014</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved the continuation of the CIP program with no expiration date; however, the program will be subject to review in a future CIP rate filing in fiscal 2017.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Concurrent with its annual BGSS filing, NJNG files for an annual review of its CIP, during which time it can request rate changes, as appropriate.

The clause requires all New Jersey natural gas utilities to make an annual filing by each June 1 for review of BGSS rates and to request a potential rate change effective the following October 1. The BGSS is also designed to allow each natural gas utility to provisionally increase residential and small commercial customer BGSS rates on December 1 and February 1 for up to a five percent increase to the average residential heat customer&#8217;s bill on a self-implementing basis, after proper notice and BPU action on the June filing. Such increases are subject to subsequent BPU review and final approval. Decreases in the BGSS rate and BGSS refunds can be implemented with five days&#8217; notice to the BPU.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:28px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition to making periodic rate adjustments to reflect changes in commodity prices, NJNG is also permitted to refund or credit back a portion of the commodity costs to customers when the natural gas commodity costs decrease in comparison to amounts projected or to amounts previously collected from customers.

Due to significant distances between NJNG&#8217;s current large industrial customers and the nearest interstate natural gas pipelines, as well as the availability of its transportation tariff, NJNG currently does not believe it has significant exposure to the risk that its distribution system will be bypassed. Competition does exist from suppliers of oil, coal, electricity and propane. At the present time, however, natural gas is used in over 95 percent of new construction due to its efficiency, reliability and price advantage.

NJRES has acquired contractual rights to natural gas storage and transportation assets it utilizes to implement its strategic and opportunistic market strategies. The rights to these assets were acquired in anticipation of delivering natural gas, performing asset management services for customers or in conjunction with identifying strategic opportunities that exist in or between the market areas that it serves. These opportunities are driven by price differentials between market locations and/or time periods. NJRES&#8217; activities are conducted in the market areas in which it has strong expertise, including the U.S. and Canada. NJRES differentiates itself in the marketplace based on price, reliability and quality of service. Its competitors include wholesale marketing and trading companies, utilities, natural gas producers and financial institutions. NJRES&#8217; portfolio of customers includes regulated natural gas distribution companies, industrial companies, electric generators, natural gas/liquids processors, retail aggregators, wholesale marketers and natural gas producers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">While focusing on maintaining a low-risk operating and counterparty credit profile, NJRES&#8217; activities specifically consist of the following elements:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">Providing natural gas portfolio management services to nonaffiliated and affiliated natural gas utilities, electric generation facilities and natural gas producers;</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">Managing strategies for new and existing natural gas storage and transportation assets to capture value from changes in price due to location or timing differences as a means to generate financial margin (as defined below);</font></div></td></tr></table><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">11</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">New Jersey Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Part I</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 1.

This enables NJRES to capture geographic pricing differences across various regions as delivered natural gas prices may change favorably as a result of market conditions. NJRES may, for example, initiate positions when intrinsic financial margin is present, and then enhance that financial margin as prices change across regions or time periods.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRES also engages in park-and-loan transactions with storage and pipeline operators, where NJRES will either borrow (receive a loan of) natural gas with an obligation to repay the storage or pipeline operator at a later date or &#8220;park&#8221; natural gas with an obligation to withdraw at a later date. In these cases, NJRES evaluates the economics of the transaction to determine if it can capture pricing differentials in the marketplace and generate financial margin. NJRES evaluates deal attributes such as fixed fees, calendar spread value from deal inception until volumes are scheduled to be returned and/or repaid, as well as the time value of money. If this evaluation demonstrates that financial margin exists, NJRES may enter into the transaction and hedge with natural gas futures contracts, thereby locking in financial margin.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRES maintains inventory balances to satisfy existing or anticipated sales of natural gas to its counterparties and/or to create additional value, as described above.

Demand for natural gas is generally higher during the winter months when there may also be supply constraints; however, during periods of milder temperatures, demand can decrease. In addition, demand for natural gas can also be high during periods of extreme heat in the summer months, resulting from the need for additional natural gas supply for gas-fired electric generation facilities. Accordingly, NJRES can be subject to variations in earnings and working capital throughout the year as a result of changes in weather.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Volatility</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:29px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRES&#8217; activities are also subject to changes in price volatility or supply/demand dynamics within its wholesale markets, including in the Northeastern, Appalachian, West Coast and Mid-Continent regions. Changes in natural gas supply can affect capacity values and NJRES&#8217; financial margin, described below, that is generated from the optimization of transportation and storage assets. With its focus on risk management, NJRES continues to diversify its revenue stream by identifying new growth opportunities in producer and asset management services. NJRES has added new counterparties and strategic storage and transportation assets to its portfolio, which currently includes an average of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">43.7</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;Bcf of firm storage and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.7</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;Bcf/day of firm transportation capacity.

These derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. NJRES views &#8220;financial margin&#8221; as a key internal financial metric. NJRES&#8217; financial margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, represents revenues earned from the sale of natural gas less costs of natural gas sold including any storage and transportation costs, and excludes any accounting impact from changes in the fair value of certain derivative instruments.

NJNG periodically, and at least annually, performs an environmental review of the MGP sites, including a review of potential estimated liabilities related to the investigation and remedial action on these sites. Based on this review, NJNG estimated that the total future expenditures to remediate and monitor the five MGP sites for which it is responsible will range from approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$143.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$231.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG&#8217;s estimate of these liabilities is based upon known and measurable facts, existing technology and enacted laws and regulations in place when the review was completed in fiscal 2016. Where it is probable that costs will be incurred, and the information is sufficient to establish a range of possible liability, NJNG accrues the most likely amount in the range. If no point within the range is more likely than the other, it is NJNG&#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG recorded an MGP remediation liability and a corresponding regulatory asset of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents its most likely possible liability and recoverable regulatory asset; however, actual costs may differ from these estimates. On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June&#160;29, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG&#8217;s December 2015 filing, which requested approval of its MGP expenditures incurred through </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, with recovery of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$9.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;annually related to the SBC RA factor with rates effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">July&#160;9, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

The optimization strategy involves utilizing its physical assets to take advantage of differences in natural gas prices between geographic locations and/or time periods. Any change among various pricing points could affect these differentials. In addition, significant increases in the supply of natural gas in NJRES&#8217; market areas, including as a result of increased production along the Marcellus Shale, can reduce NJRES&#8217; ability to take advantage of pricing fluctuations in the future. Changes in pricing dynamics and supply could have an adverse impact on NJRES&#8217; optimization activities, earnings and cash flows. NJRES incurs fixed demand fees to acquire its contractual rights to storage and transportation assets. Should commodity prices at various locations or time periods change in such a way that NJRES is not able to recoup these costs from its customers, the cash flows and earnings at NJRES, and ultimately NJR, could be adversely impacted.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">NJNG and NJRES rely on storage, transportation assets and suppliers that they do not own or control to deliver natural gas.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG and NJRES depend on natural gas pipelines and other storage and transportation facilities owned and operated by third parties to deliver natural gas to wholesale markets and to provide retail energy services to customers. Their ability to provide natural gas for their present and projected sales will depend upon their suppliers&#8217; ability to obtain and deliver additional supplies of natural gas, as well as NJNG&#8217;s ability to acquire supplies directly from new sources. Factors beyond the control of NJNG, its suppliers and the independent suppliers who have obligations to provide natural gas to certain NJNG customers, may affect NJNG&#8217;s ability to deliver such supplies. These factors include other parties&#8217; control over the drilling of new wells and the facilities to transport natural gas to NJNG&#8217;s citygate stations, competition for the acquisition of natural gas, priority allocations, impact of severe weather disruptions to natural gas supplies, the regulatory and pricing policies of federal and state regulatory agencies, as well as the availability of Canadian reserves for export to the United States. Energy deregulation legislation may increase competition among natural gas utilities and impact the quantities of natural gas requirements needed for sales service. NJRES also relies on a firm supply source to meet its energy management obligations to its customers. If supply, transportation or storage is disrupted, including for reasons of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">force majeure</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the ability of NJNG and NJRES to sell and deliver their products and services may be hindered. As a result, they may be responsible for damages incurred by their customers, such as the additional cost of acquiring alternative supply at then-current market rates.

These debt obligations also contain provisions that put limitations on our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to expand or pursue certain business activities. For example, certain of these agreements contain provisions that, among other things, put limitations on our ability to make loans or investments, make material changes to the nature of our businesses, merge, consolidate or engage in asset sales, grant liens or make negative pledges. Furthermore, the debt obligations contain covenants and other provisions requiring us to provide timely delivery of accurate financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The failure to comply with any of these covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of outstanding debt obligations and/or the inability to borrow under existing revolving credit facilities. We have relied, and continue to rely, upon short-term bank borrowings or commercial paper supported by our revolving credit facilities to finance the execution of a portion of our operating strategies. NJNG is dependent on these capital sources to purchase its natural gas supply and maintain its properties.

Furthermore, while our estimate regarding customer growth is based in part upon information from third parties, the estimate has not been verified by any independent source and is subject to the aforementioned risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to materially deviate from the estimate.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Investing through partnerships, joint ventures or in an MLP decreases our ability to manage risk.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We have utilized joint ventures through partnerships for certain midstream investments, including Steckman Ridge and PennEast, and we own a minority interest in DM, a MLP, through our investment in DM Common Units. Although we currently have no specific plans to do so, we may acquire interests in other joint ventures or partnerships in the future. In these joint ventures or partnerships, we may not have the right or power to direct the management and policies of the joint ventures or partnerships, and other participants or investors may take action contrary to our instructions or requests and against our policies and objectives. In addition, the other participants may become bankrupt or have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of NJR and our subsidiaries.

Holders of MLP common units have limited control and voting rights on matters affecting the MLP, and investments in MLPs may have limited liquidity. Additionally, if DM is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes as a result of a change in current law or a change in DM&#8217;s business, such treatment would result in a reduction in the after-tax return to us and may cause a reduction in the value of our investment in DM Common Units.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a transaction that stockholders would view as favorable.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as New Jersey law, contain provisions that could delay, defer or prevent an unsolicited change in control of NJR, which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock or the ability of stockholders to participate in a transaction in which they might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the then current market price. These provisions may also prevent changes in management. In addition, our Board of Directors is authorized to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval on such terms as our Board of Directors may determine. Our common stockholders will be subject to, and may be negatively affected by, the rights of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.

NJNG estimated at the time of the most recent review that total future expenditures to remediate and monitor the five MGP sites for which it is responsible, including potential liabilities for Natural Resource Damages that might be brought by the NJDEP for alleged injury to groundwater or other natural resources concerning these sites, will range from approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$143.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$231.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. NJNG&#8217;s estimate of these liabilities is based upon known facts, existing technology and enacted laws and regulations in place when the review was completed. Where it is probable that costs will be incurred, and the information is sufficient to establish a range of possible liability, NJNG accrues the most likely amount in the range. If no point within the range is more likely than the other, it is NJNG&#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range. Accordingly, as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG recorded an MGP remediation liability and a corresponding regulatory asset of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the most likely amount. The actual costs to be incurred by NJNG are dependent upon several factors, including final determination of remedial action, changing technologies and governmental regulations, the ultimate ability of other responsible parties to pay and any insurance recoveries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG will continue to seek recovery of MGP-related costs through the RA. If any future regulatory position indicates that the recovery of such costs is not probable, the related non-recoverable costs would be charged to income in the period of such determination.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">24</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">New Jersey Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Part I</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:bottom;">ITEM 3.

Application of these accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingencies during the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates, including those related to the calculation of the fair value of derivative instruments, regulatory assets, income taxes, pension and postemployment benefits other than pensions, asset retirement obligations and contingencies related to environmental matters and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In the normal course of business, estimated amounts are subsequently adjusted to actual results that may differ from estimates.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Regulatory Accounting</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG maintains its accounts in accordance with the FERC Uniform System of Accounts as prescribed by the BPU and recognizes the impact of regulatory decisions on its financial statements. As a result of the ratemaking process, NJNG is required to apply the accounting principles in ASC 980, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Regulated Operations</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which differ in certain respects from those applied by unregulated businesses.

Any underrecovery or overrecovery is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reflected in the BGSS charge to customers in subsequent years.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As recovery of regulatory assets is subject to BPU approval, if there are any changes in future regulatory positions that indicate recovery of all or a portion of a regulatory asset is not probable, the related cost would be charged to income in the period of such determination. On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">November&#160;13, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG filed a base rate petition with the BPU to increase its base tariff rates in the amount of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$147.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which was revised on </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">July&#160;20, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$112.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;23, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved the increase in base tariff rates in the amount of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$45 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">October&#160;1, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

In addition, since we choose not to designate any of our physical and financial natural gas commodity derivatives as accounting hedges, changes in the fair value of NJRES&#8217; commodity derivatives are recognized in earnings, as they occur, as a component of operating revenues or gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts that NJRES utilizes as cash flow hedges are recorded to AOCI, a component of stockholders&#8217; equity, and reclassified to gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when they settle.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by reference to quoted market prices of listed exchange-traded contracts, published price quotations, pipeline tariff information and/or a combination of those items.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for sensitivity analysis related to the impact to derivative fair values resulting from changes in commodity prices.

NJR applies a discount to its derivative assets to factor in an adjustment associated with the credit risk of its physical natural gas counterparties and to its derivative liabilities to factor in an adjustment associated with its own credit risk. NJR determines this amount by using historical default probabilities corresponding to the appropriate S&amp;P issuer ratings. Since the majority of NJR&#8217;s counterparties are rated investment grade, this results in an immaterial credit risk adjustment.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Gains and losses associated with derivatives utilized by NJNG to manage the price risk inherent in its natural gas purchasing activities are recoverable through its BGSS, subject to BPU approval.

Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. We use the asset and liability method to determine and record deferred tax assets, representing future tax benefits, and deferred tax liabilities, representing future taxes payable, resulting from the differences between the financial reporting amount and the corresponding tax basis of the assets and liabilities using the enacted rates expected to be in effect at the time the differences are settled. An offsetting valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not some or all of the deferred income tax assets won&#8217;t be realized. NJR had net deferred tax liabilities of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$464.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$436.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and a valuation allowance of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$262,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$176,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;related to certain deferred state tax assets, as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively.

In addition, we operate within multiple tax jurisdictions and are subject to audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We maintain a liability for the estimate of potential income tax exposure and, in our opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years reported. Any significant changes to the estimates and judgments with respect to the apportionment factor could result in a material change on earnings and cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Accounting guidance requires that we establish reserves for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the positions will not be sustained when challenged by taxing authorities.

From this review, NJNG estimates expenditures necessary to remediate and monitor these MGP sites. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG estimated these expenditures will range from approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$143.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$231.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. NJNG&#8217;s estimate of these liabilities is developed from then currently available facts, existing technology and current laws and regulations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In accordance with accounting standards for contingencies, NJNG&#8217;s policy is to record a liability when it is probable that the cost will be incurred and can be reasonably estimated. NJNG will determine a range of liabilities and will record the most likely amount. If no point within the range is more likely than any other, NJNG will accrue the lower end of the range. Since we believe that recovery of these expenditures, as well as related litigation costs, is possible through the regulatory process, we have recorded a regulatory asset corresponding to the related accrued liability. Accordingly, NJNG recorded an MGP remediation liability and a corresponding regulatory asset of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which is based on the most likely amount.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The actual costs to be incurred by NJNG are dependent upon several factors, including final determination of remedial action, changing technologies and governmental regulations, the ultimate ability of other responsible parties to pay, as well as the potential impact of any litigation and any insurance recoveries. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$19.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$18.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of previously incurred remediation costs, net of recoveries from customers and insurance proceeds received, are included in regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If there are changes in the regulatory position surrounding these costs, or should actual expenditures vary significantly from estimates in that these costs are disallowed for recovery by the BPU, such costs would be charged to income in the period of such determination.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Postemployment Employee Benefits</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR&#8217;s costs of providing postemployment employee benefits are dependent upon numerous factors, including actual plan experience and assumptions of future experience. Postemployment employee benefit costs are impacted by actual employee demographics including age, compensation levels and employment periods, the level of contributions made to the plans, changes in long-term interest rates and the return on plan assets. Changes made to the provisions of the plans or healthcare legislation may also impact current and future postemployment employee benefit costs. Postemployment employee benefit costs may also be significantly affected by changes in key actuarial assumptions, including anticipated rates of return on plan assets, changes in mortality tables, health care cost trends and discount rates used in determining the PBO. In determining the PBO and cost amounts, assumptions can change from period to period and could result in material changes to net postemployment employee benefit periodic costs and the related liability recognized by NJR.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR&#8217;s postemployment employee benefit plan assets consist primarily of  U.S. equity securities, international equity securities and fixed-income investments, with a targeted allocation of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">40 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">20 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">40 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Effective October 1, 2016, the Company changed its approach used to measure the service and interest cost components of its net periodic benefit costs. Previously, the Company estimated service cost and interest cost based on a single weighted-average discount rate from the yield curve used to measure its projected benefit obligation. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company will determine its service and interest cost based upon duration specific spot rates that are aligned to each year&#8217;s future benefit payments. Under the new approach, net periodic benefit costs will be lower during periods of low interest rates and upward-sloping yield curves. Conversely, in a downward sloping-yield curve environment, costs could increase. Based on the yield curve NJR used to measure its projected benefit obligation as of September 30, 2016, NJR estimates that its net periodic benefit costs will decrease approximately $3.2 million during fiscal 2017 under the new approach.

The discounted fair value is recognized as an ARO liability with a corresponding amount capitalized as part of the carrying cost of the underlying asset. The obligation is subsequently accreted to the future value of the expected retirement cost and the corresponding asset retirement cost is depreciated over the life of the related asset. Accretion expense associated with NJRCEV&#8217;s ARO is recognized as a component of operations and maintenance expense on NJR&#8217;s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to October 1, 2016, accretion amounts associated with NJNG&#8217;s ARO were not reflected as an expense, but rather were deferred as a regulatory asset and netted against NJNG&#8217;s regulatory liabilities, for presentation purposes.  Through NJNG&#8217;s new base rates settlement, effective October 1, 2016, accretion is recognized as part of its depreciation expense and the corresponding regulatory asset and liability will be shown gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Estimating future removal costs requires management to make significant judgments because most of the removal obligations span long time frames and removal may be conditioned upon future events. Asset removal technologies are also constantly changing, which makes it difficult to estimate removal costs. Accordingly, inherent in the estimate of our AROs are various assumptions including the ultimate settlement date, expected cash outflows, inflation rates, credit-adjusted risk-free rates and consideration of potential outcomes where settlement of the ARO can be conditioned upon events. In the latter case, we develop possible retirement scenarios and assign probabilities based on management&#8217;s reasonable judgment and knowledge of industry practice.

During that same time period, NJNG converted </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">644</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;existing customers to natural gas heat and other services. This customer growth, as well as commercial customers who switched from interruptible to firm natural gas service, will contribute approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$5.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;annually to utility gross margin. NJNG also added </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">7,858</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">7,599</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;new customers and converted </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">636</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">627</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;existing customers to natural gas heat and other services during the fiscal years ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2014</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, NJNG currently expects to add approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">24,000 to 27,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;new customers during the three-year period of fiscal </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to 2019. Based on information from municipalities and developers, as well as external industry analysts and management&#8217;s experience, NJNG estimates that approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">53 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of the growth will come from new construction markets and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">47 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;from customer conversions to natural gas from other fuel sources. This new customer and conversion growth would increase utility gross margin under NJNG&#8217;s base rates by approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;annually, as calculated under NJNG&#8217;s CIP tariff.

Recovery of utility gross margin for the non-weather variance through the CIP is limited to the amount of certain gas supply cost savings achieved and is subject to an annual earnings test. An annual review of the CIP must be filed by June 1, coincident with NJNG&#8217;s annual BGSS filing, during which NJNG can request rate changes to the CIP. In May 2014, the BPU approved the continuation of the CIP program with no expiration date; however, it is subject to review in the 2017 CIP rate filing.

NJNG monitors its actual gas costs in comparison to its BGSS rates to manage its cash flows associated with its allowed recovery of natural gas costs, which is facilitated through BPU-approved deferred accounting and the BGSS pricing mechanism. Accordingly, NJNG occasionally adjusts its periodic BGSS rates or can issue credits or refunds, as appropriate, for its residential and small commercial customers when the commodity cost varies from the existing BGSS rate.

In an April 2014 BPU Order, NJNG received regulatory approval to enter into interest rate risk management transactions related to long-term debt securities. On June 1, 2015, NJNG entered into a treasury lock transaction to fix a benchmark treasury rate of 3.26 percent associated with the forecasted-year, $125 million debt issuance expected in May 2018. This forecasted debt issuance coincides with the maturity of NJNG&#8217;s existing </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$125 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">5.6 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;notes on </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">May&#160;15, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The fair value of NJNG&#8217;s treasury lock agreement is recorded as a component of regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets since the Company believes that the market value upon settlement will be reflected in future rates.

Actual MGP remediation costs may vary from management&#8217;s estimates due to the developing nature of remediation requirements, regulatory decisions by the NJDEP and related litigation. NJNG reviews these costs at the end of each fiscal year and adjusts its liability and corresponding regulatory asset as necessary to reflect its expected future remediation obligation. Accordingly, NJNG recognized a regulatory asset and an obligation of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">decrease</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, compared with the prior fiscal period.

NJNG&#8217;s residential and commercial markets are currently open to competition, and its rates are segregated between BGSS (i.e., natural gas commodity) and delivery (i.e., transportation) components. NJNG does not earn utility gross margin on the commodity portion of its natural gas sales. NJNG earns utility gross margin through the delivery of natural gas to its customers and, therefore, is not negatively affected by customers who use its transportation service and purchase natural gas from another supplier. Under an existing order from the BPU, BGSS can be provided by suppliers other than the state&#8217;s natural gas utilities, however, customers who purchase natural gas from another supplier continue to use NJNG for transportation service.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div

NJNG&#8217;s utility gross margin is defined as natural gas revenues less natural gas purchases, sales tax, and regulatory rider expenses, and may not be comparable to the definition of gross margin used by others in the natural gas distribution business and other industries. Management believes that utility gross margin provides a meaningful basis for evaluating utility operations since    natural gas costs, sales tax and regulatory rider expenses are included in operating revenue and passed through to customers and, therefore, have no effect on utility gross margin. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measure.</font></div><div

In addition, under the recently updated federal tax guidelines, projects that are placed in service through December 31, 2019, qualify for a 30 percent federal ITC. The credit will decline to 26 percent for property under construction during 2020 and to 22 percent for property under construction during 2021. The ITC will be reduced to 10 percent for any property that is under construction before 2022, but not placed in service before 2024.</font></div><div

Solar projects not placed in service, as originally planned prior to the end of a reporting period, may result in a failure to qualify for ITCs and changes in prices on the unhedged portion of SREC production could have a significant adverse impact on earnings with some offset expected from higher wind energy market prices due to the PTC phase out and/or improved efficiencies from lower costs for related turbine technology.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;Wind projects for which construction of a facility begins after December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2019, will be subject to reduced PTCs, and could have a significant adverse impact on 10 years of forward earnings. PTCs will be phased out from 100 percent in 2016 to 80 percent in 2017, 60 percent in 2018, 40 percent in 2019 and zero thereafter. In addition, since the primary contributors toward the value of qualifying clean energy projects are tax incentives and SRECs, changes in the federal statutes related to the ITC or PTC or in the marketplace and/or relevant legislation surrounding renewable clean energy credits, could also significantly affect earnings.</font></div><div

NJRES maintains a strategic portfolio of natural gas storage and transportation contracts that it utilizes in conjunction with its market expertise to provide service and value to its customers. Availability of these storage and transportation contracts from a time and location perspective allows NJRES to generate market opportunities by capturing price differentials over specific time horizons and between geographic market locations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRES also provides management of storage and transportation assets for natural gas producers and regulated utilities. These management transactions typically involve the release of producer/utility owned storage and/or transportation capacity in combination with either an obligation to purchase and/or deliver physical natural gas. In addition to the contractual purchase and/or sale of physical natural gas, NJRES generates or pays fee-based margin in exchange for its active management and may provide the producer and/or utility with additional margin based on actual results.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In conjunction with the active management of these contracts, NJRES generates financial margin by identifying market opportunities and simultaneously entering into natural gas purchase/sale, storage or transportation contracts and financial derivative contracts. In cases where storage is utilized to fulfill these contracts, these forecast sales and/or purchases are economically hedged through the use of financial derivative contracts. The financial derivative contracts consist primarily of exchange-traded futures, options, and swap contracts, and are frequently used to lock in anticipated transactional cash flows and to help manage volatility in natural gas market prices. Generally, when its storage and transportation contracts are exposed to periods of increased market volatility, NJRES is able to implement strategies that allow them to capture margin by improving the respective time or geographic spreads on a forward basis.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRES accounts for its physical commodity contracts and its financial derivative instruments at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of physical commodity contracts and financial derivative instruments are included in earnings as a component of operating revenue and/or gas purchases, and gas purchases, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Volatility in reported net income at NJRES can occur over periods of time due to changes in the fair value of derivatives, as well as timing differences related to certain transactions. Unrealized gains and losses can fluctuate as a result of changes in the price of natural gas, SRECs and foreign currency from the original transaction price compared with the market price of natural gas at each reporting date. Volatility in earnings can also occur as a result of timing differences between the settlement of financial derivatives and the sale of the underlying physical commodity. For example, when a financial instrument settles and the physical natural gas is injected into inventory, the realized gains and losses associated with the financial instrument are recognized in earnings. However, the gains and losses associated with the physical natural gas are not recognized in earnings until the natural gas inventory is withdrawn, at which time NJRES realizes the entire margin on the transaction.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">50</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">New Jersey Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Part II</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ITEM 7.

As a result, variations in weather patterns in the key market areas served may affect earnings during the fiscal year. Changes in market fundamentals, such as an increase in supply and decrease in demand due to milder temperatures, and reduced volatility, can negatively impact NJRES&#8217; earnings.

Financial margin and NFE are based on removing timing differences associated with certain derivative instruments, as discussed above. Management views these measures as representative of the overall expected economic result and uses these measures to compare NJRES&#8217; results against established benchmarks and earnings targets as these measures eliminate the impact of volatility on GAAP earnings as a result of timing differences associated with the settlement of derivative instruments. To the extent that there are unanticipated impacts from changes in the market value related to the effectiveness of economic hedges, NJRES&#8217; actual non-GAAP results can differ from the results anticipated at the outset of the transaction. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measure.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">When NJRES reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP measure to both financial margin and NFE, the current period unrealized gains and losses on derivatives are excluded as a reconciling item. Financial margin and NFE also exclude the effects of economic hedging of the value of our natural gas in storage and, therefore, only include realized gains and losses related to natural gas withdrawn from storage, effectively matching the full earnings effects of the derivatives with realized margins on the related physical gas flows.</font></div><div

EDA Bonds are special, limited obligations of the EDA payable solely from payments made by NJNG pursuant to a Loan Agreement and are secured by the pledge of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$97 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;principal amount of the FMB issued by the Company. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">EDA Bonds accrue interest for five years at a variable rate determined monthly, which rate was initially calculated as .55 percent plus 70 percent of one month LIBOR, subject to earlier redemption or conversion to another interest rate mode. The maximum interest rate on the EDA Bonds is 12 percent per annum. NJNG&#8217;s obligations under the Loan Agreement (and its corresponding obligations under the FMB) match the respective principal amounts, interest rates and maturity dates of the EDA Bonds. The weighted average interest rate on the EDA Bonds as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, was </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.92 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The interest rate on the EDA Bonds may vary based upon market conditions. Sudden increases in the interest rate could cause a change in interest expense and cash flow for NJNG in the future.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Sale-Leaseback</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG received </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7.2 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">fiscal 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2014</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively, in connection with the sale-leaseback of its natural gas meters.

The Company does not expect to be required to make additional contributions to fund the pension plans over the following two fiscal years based on current actuarial assumptions, however, funding requirements are uncertain and can depend significantly on changes in actuarial assumptions, returns on plan assets and changes in the demographics of eligible employees and covered dependents. In addition, as in the past, NJR may elect to make discretionary contributions to the plans in excess of the minimum required amount.

There are no Federal requirements to pre-fund OPEB benefits. However, the Company is required to fund certain amounts due to regulatory agreements with the BPU.

The rating upgrade was driven primarily by the overall credit supportiveness of the regulatory environment under which NJNG operates. In its review of NJNG&#8217;s credit rating, Moody&#8217;s considered the BPU&#8217;s continued support of NJNG&#8217;s rate mechanisms, which allows for timely recovery of costs, including those associated with NJNG&#8217;s BGSS and CIP. In addition, the favorable recovery of investments related to NJNG&#8217;s infrastructure and energy efficiency programs factored into the rating upgrade.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">64</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">New Jersey Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Part II</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ITEM 7.

Its prices are determined effectively by the NYMEX, CME, ICE and over-the-counter markets. The prices on the NYMEX, CME, ICE and over-the-counter markets generally reflect the national balance of natural gas supply and demand, but are also significantly influenced from time to time by other events.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our regulated and deregulated businesses are subject to market risk due to fluctuations in the price of natural gas. To economically hedge against such fluctuations, we have entered into forwards, futures, options and swap agreements. To manage these derivative instruments, we have well-defined risk management policies and procedures that include daily monitoring of volumetric limits and monetary guidelines. Our natural gas businesses are conducted through three of our operating subsidiaries. NJNG is a regulated utility that uses futures, options and swaps to economically hedge against price fluctuations, and its recovery of natural gas costs is governed by the BPU. NJRES uses futures, options, swaps and physical contracts to economically hedge purchases and sales of natural gas. Financial derivatives have historically been transacted on an exchange and cleared through an FCM, thus requiring daily cash margining for a majority of NJRES&#8217; and NJNG&#8217;s positions. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, certain NJRES and NJNG transactions that were previously executed in the over-the-counter markets are now cleared through an FCM, resulting in increased margin requirements. The related cash flow impact from the increased requirements is expected to be minimal. Non-financial (i.e., physical) derivatives utilized by us have received statutory exclusion from similar Dodd-Frank provisions due to the element of physical settlement.</font></div><div

As the fair value of futures and fixed price swaps is linked to this location, the price sensitivity analysis has been prepared for all open Henry Hub natural gas futures and fixed swap positions. Based on this, an illustrative 10 percent movement in the natural gas futures contract price, for example, increases (decreases) the reported derivative fair value of all open, unadjusted Henry Hub natural gas futures and fixed swap positions by approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$19.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company&#8217;s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company&#8217;s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#8217;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, based on the criteria established in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of the Company and our report dated </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;">November&#160;22, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">/s/ DELOITTE &amp; TOUCHE LLP</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Parsippany, New Jersey</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">November&#160;22, 2016</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">71</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="s50D604F9C6922AC322F080243D732EAC"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">New Jersey Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Part II</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 8.

NJR&#8217;s unregulated subsidiaries record changes in the fair value of their financial commodity derivatives in gas purchases and changes in the fair value of their physical forward contracts in gas purchases or operating revenues, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. NJRES designated its foreign exchange contracts, entered into prior to January 1, 2016, as cash flow hedges of Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these hedges are recorded to AOCI, a component of stockholders&#8217; equity, and reclassified to gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when they settle. Ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are recognized immediately in earnings.

Effective January 1, 2016, NJR prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case by case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG, forward SREC contracts at NJRCEV and when it does, it does not record changes in the fair value of these contracts until the contract settles and the related underlying natural gas or SREC is delivered. Gains and/or losses on NJNG&#8217;s derivatives used to economically hedge its regulated natural gas supply obligations, as well as its exposure to interest rate variability, are recoverable through its BGSS, a component of its tariff. Accordingly, the offset to the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 4.

NJR&#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at NJRES, and NJNG&#8217;s Treasury Lock are valued using observable, quoted prices for similar or identical assets when available. In establishing the fair value of contracts for which a quoted basis price is not available at the measurement date, management utilizes available market data and pricing models to estimate fair values. Fair values are subject to change in the near term and reflect management&#8217;s best estimate based on a variety of factors. Estimating fair values of instruments that do not have quoted market prices requires management&#8217;s judgment in determining amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received from, or paid to, a third party in settlement of the instruments. These amounts could be materially different from amounts that might be realized in an actual sale transaction.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Revenues</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Revenues from the sale of natural gas to NJNG customers are recognized in the period that gas is delivered and consumed by customers, including an estimate for unbilled revenue.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG records unbilled revenue for natural gas services. Natural gas sales to individual customers are based on meter  readings, which are performed on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each month, the amount of natural gas delivered to each customer after the last meter reading through the end of the respective accounting period is estimated, and NJNG recognizes unbilled revenues related to these amounts. The unbilled revenue estimates are based on estimated customer usage by customer type, weather effects, unaccounted-for gas and the most current tariff rates.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRCEV recognizes revenue when SRECs are transferred to counterparties.

As part of computing its BGSS rate, NJNG projects its cost of natural gas, net of supplier refunds, the impact of hedging activities and credits from non-firm sales and transportation activities. NJNG subsequently recovers or credits the difference, if any, of actual costs compared with those included in current rates. Any underrecoveries or overrecoveries are either credited to customers or deferred and, subject to BPU approval, reflected in the BGSS rates in subsequent years.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Gas purchases at NJRES are comprised of gas costs NJRES is obligated to pay upon completion of a variety of transactions, as well as realized gains and losses from settled physical and financial derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on the change in fair value of derivative instruments that have not yet settled.

Since the exchange was, in substance, a contribution of real estate into another real estate venture, the Company recorded a deferred gain of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$24.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;based on the difference between the carrying amount of its investment of Iroquois, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$21.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and the fair value of the DM Common Units on the closing date of the transaction, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$46.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The deferred gain will be recognized in other income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations if and when the units are sold in the future.

Concurrently, NJR also capitalizes an asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related asset by the same amount as the liability. In periods subsequent to the initial measurement, NJR is required to recognize changes in the liability resulting from the passage of time (accretion) or due to revisions to either timing or the amount of the originally estimated cash flows to settle the conditional ARO.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">82</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">New Jersey Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Part II</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 8.

Plan assets consist of equity securities, fixed-income securities and short-term investments.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures. The new guidance also increased the threshold for tax withholding to the maximum statutory rate, as applicable, to maintain equity classification and amended the classification of certain tax transactions within the statement of cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:29px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company elected to early adopt the amended guidance during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and applied the new provisions as of the beginning of the year of adoption on a retrospective or prospective basis depending on each amendment&#8217;s transition requirements. As such, effective October 1, 2015, NJR is recognizing forfeitures as they occur and is recognizing excess tax benefits (deficiencies) as a component of income tax (benefit) provision in its Consolidated Statements of Operations on a prospective basis.

The new guidance will become effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 606, however, based on the review of customer contracts to date, it is not anticipating a material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

The standard affects investments in equity securities that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value by requiring a qualitative assessment. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a modified-retrospective basis. The Company has evaluated the amendments and noted that, upon adoption, subsequent changes to the fair value of the Company&#8217;s available for sale securities will be recorded in the statement of operations as opposed to other comprehensive income.

The new model requires recognition based upon an estimation of expected credit losses rather than recognition of losses when it is probable that they have been incurred. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted.

Amortization of the related asset will be accounted for using one of two approaches prescribed by the guidance. Additional disclosures will be required to allow the user to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing activities. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at the time of adoption.

On a monthly basis, NJR evaluates its estimates, including those related to the calculation of the fair value of derivative instruments, debt, unbilled revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, provisions for depreciation and amortization, regulatory assets and liabilities, income taxes, pensions and other postemployment benefits, contingencies related to environmental matters and litigation. AROs are evaluated as often as needed. NJR&#8217;s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR has legal, regulatory and environmental proceedings during the normal course of business that can result in loss contingencies. When evaluating the potential for a loss, NJR will establish a reserve if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, in which case it is NJR&#8217;s policy to accrue the full amount of such estimates. Where the information is sufficient only to establish a range of probable liability, and no point within the range is more likely than any other, it is NJR&#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range. In the normal course of business, estimated amounts are subsequently adjusted to actual results that may differ from estimates.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="s658FA7AF0F93F9D5AB3880243E44CB5B"></a></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:30px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">3.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">REGULATION</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The EDECA is the legal framework for New Jersey&#8217;s public utility and wholesale energy landscape. NJNG is required, pursuant to a written order by the BPU under EDECA, to open its residential markets to competition from third-party natural gas suppliers. Customers can choose the supplier of their natural gas commodity in NJNG&#8217;s service territory.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As required by EDECA, NJNG&#8217;s rates are segregated into two primary components, the commodity portion, which represents the wholesale cost of natural gas, including the cost for interstate pipeline capacity to transport the gas to NJNG&#8217;s service territory, and the delivery portion, which represents the transportation of the commodity portion through NJNG&#8217;s gas distribution system to the end-use customer. NJNG does not earn utility gross margin on the commodity portion of its natural gas sales. NJNG earns utility gross margin through the delivery of natural gas to its customers, regardless of whether it or a third-party supplier provides the wholesale natural gas commodity.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Under EDECA, the BPU is required to audit the state&#8217;s energy utilities every two years. The primary purpose of the audit is to ensure that utilities and their affiliates offering unregulated retail services do not have an unfair competitive advantage over nonaffiliated providers of similar retail services. A combined competitive services and management audit of NJNG commenced in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">August 2013</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. A draft management audit report was accepted by the BPU on July 23, 2014, for public comment.

The impact of the ratemaking process and decisions authorized by the BPU allows NJNG to capitalize or defer certain costs that are expected to be recovered from its customers as regulatory assets and to recognize certain obligations representing amounts that are probable future expenditures as regulatory liabilities in accordance with accounting guidance applicable to regulated operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:28px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG&#8217;s recovery of costs is facilitated through its base rates, BGSS and other regulatory tariff riders. NJNG is required to make an annual filing to the BPU by June 1 of each year for review of its BGSS, CIP and various other programs and related rates. Annual rate changes are requested to be effective at the beginning of the following fiscal year.

NJNG&#8217;s related costs to maintain the operational integrity of its distribution and transmission main are recoverable, subject to BPU review and approval. Through </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG was limited to recording a regulatory asset associated with PIM that did not exceed </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$700,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;per year. In addition, to the extent that project costs were lower than the approved PIM annual expense of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG recorded a regulatory liability to be refunded as a credit to customers&#8217; gas costs when the net cumulative liability exceeded </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG recorded </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$4.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of PIM in other regulatory assets.

NJNG&#8217;s cost of gas includes the purchased cost of the natural gas commodity, fees paid to pipelines and storage facilities, adjustments as a result of BGSS incentive programs, and hedging transactions. Overrecovered gas costs represent a regulatory liability that generally occurs when NJNG&#8217;s BGSS rates are higher than actual costs and requests approval to be returned to customers including interest, when applicable, in accordance with NJNG&#8217;s approved BGSS tariff. Conversely, underrecovered gas costs generally occurs during periods when NJNG&#8217;s BGSS rates are lower than actual costs, in which case NJNG records a regulatory asset and requests amounts to be recovered from customers in the future.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:29px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Cost of Removal Obligation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:28px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG accrues and collects for cost of removal in base rates on its utility property, without interest.

In addition, to manage the fluctuations in wholesale natural gas costs, NJNG has the ability to make two interim filings during each fiscal year to increase residential and small commercial customer BGSS rates on a self-implementing and provisional basis. NJNG is also permitted to refund or credit back a portion of the commodity costs to customers when the natural gas commodity costs decrease in comparison to amounts projected or to amounts previously collected from customers. Concurrent with the annual BGSS filing, NJNG files for an annual review of its CIP. In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">May 2014</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved the continuation of the CIP program with no expiration date; however, it will be subject to review in a future rate filing in 2017.

To manage this risk, the Company enters into a variety of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, futures contracts, physical forward contracts, financial options and swaps to economically hedge the commodity price risk associated with its existing and anticipated commitments to purchase and sell natural gas, SRECs and electricity. In addition, the Company may utilize foreign currency derivatives to hedge Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases and/or sales. Therefore, the Company&#8217;s primary underlying risks include commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency. These contracts, with a few exceptions as described below, are accounted for as derivatives. Accordingly, all of the financial and certain of the Company&#8217;s physical derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For a more detailed discussion of the Company&#8217;s fair value measurement policies and level disclosures associated with NJR&#8217;s derivative instruments, see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 5.

For NJRES at settlement, realized gains and (losses) on all financial derivative instruments are recognized as a component of gas purchases and realized gains and (losses) on all physical derivatives follow the presentation of the related unrealized gains and (losses) as a component of either gas purchases or operating revenues.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRES also enters into natural gas transactions in Canada and, consequently, is exposed to fluctuations in the value of Canadian currency relative to the U.S. dollar. NJRES may utilize foreign currency derivatives to lock in the exchange  rate associated with natural gas transactions denominated in Canadian currency. The derivatives may include currency forwards, futures, or swaps and are accounted for as derivatives. These derivatives are typically used to hedge demand fee payments on pipeline capacity, storage and gas purchase agreements. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, NJRES designates its foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges, and the effective portion of the hedges are recorded in OCI. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, the Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency derivatives as accounting hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, are recognized in gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As a result of NJRES entering into transactions to borrow natural gas, commonly referred to as &#8220;park and loans,&#8221; an embedded derivative is recognized relating to differences between the fair value of the amount borrowed and the fair value of the amount that will ultimately be repaid, based on changes in the forward price for natural gas prices at the borrowed location over the contract term. This embedded derivative is accounted for as a forward sale in the month in which the repayment of the borrowed gas is expected to occur, and is considered a derivative transaction that is recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in value recognized in current period earnings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Expected production of SRECs is hedged through the use of forward and futures contracts. All contracts require the Company to physically deliver SRECs through the transfer of certificates as per contractual settlement schedules. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, the Company elected NPNS accounting treatment on SREC forward and futures contracts. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJRES no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on SREC contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, and recognizes changes in the fair value of these derivatives as a component of operating revenues. Upon settlement of the contract, the related revenue is recognized when the SREC is transferred to the counterparty. NPNS is a contract-by-contract election and, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">NJNG</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Changes in fair value of NJNG&#8217;s financial commodity derivatives are recorded as a component of regulatory assets or  liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elects NPNS accounting treatment on all physical commodity contracts that NJNG entered into on or before December 31, 2015, and accounts for these contracts on an accrual basis. Accordingly, physical natural gas purchases are recognized in regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the contract settles and the natural gas is delivered. The average cost of natural gas is amortized in current period earnings based on the current BPU BGSS factor and therm sales. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJNG no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on all of its physical commodity contracts entered into from January 1, 2016. However, since NPNS is a contract-by-contract election, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal.

On June 1, 2015, NJNG entered into a treasury lock transaction to fix a benchmark treasury rate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3.26 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;associated with a forecasted </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$125 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;debt issuance expected in May 2018.

The change in fair value of NJNG&#8217;s treasury lock agreement is recorded as a component of regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets since NJNG believes that the market value upon settlement will be recovered in future rates.

As a result of the inherent volatility in the prices of natural gas commodities, derivatives, SRECs, electricity and RECs, the market value of contractual positions with individual counterparties could exceed established credit limits or collateral provided by those counterparties. If a counterparty fails to perform the obligations under its contract (e.g., failed to deliver or pay for natural gas, SRECs, electricity or RECs), then the Company could sustain a loss.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR monitors and manages the credit risk of its wholesale operations through credit policies and procedures that management believes reduce overall credit risk. These policies include a review and evaluation of current and prospective counterparties&#8217; financial statements and/or credit ratings, daily monitoring of counterparties&#8217; credit limits and exposure, daily communication with traders regarding credit status and the use of credit mitigation measures, such as collateral requirements and netting agreements. Examples of collateral include letters of credit and cash received for either prepayment or margin deposit. Collateral may be requested due to NJR&#8217;s election not to extend credit or because exposure exceeds defined thresholds. Most of NJR&#8217;s wholesale marketing contracts contain standard netting provisions. These contracts include those governed by ISDA and the NAESB. The netting provisions refer to payment netting, whereby receivables and payables with the same counterparty are offset and the resulting net amount is paid to the party to which it is due.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Internally-rated exposure applies to counterparties that are not rated by S&amp;P or Moody&#8217;s. In these cases, the counterparty&#8217;s or guarantor&#8217;s financial statements are reviewed, and similar methodologies and ratios used by S&amp;P and/or Moody&#8217;s are applied to arrive at a substitute rating. Gross credit exposure is defined as the unrealized fair value of physical and financial derivative commodity contracts, plus any outstanding wholesale receivable for the value of natural gas delivered and/or financial derivative commodity contract that has settled for which payment has not yet been received.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Conversely, certain of NJNG&#8217;s and NJRES&#8217; derivative instruments are linked to agreements containing provisions that would require cash collateral payments from the Company if certain events occur. These provisions vary based upon the terms in individual counterparty agreements and can result in cash payments if NJNG&#8217;s credit rating were to fall below its current level. NJNG&#8217;s credit rating, with respect to S&amp;P, reflects the overall corporate credit profile of NJR. Specifically, most, but not all, of these additional payments will be triggered if NJNG&#8217;s debt is downgraded by the major credit agencies, regardless of investment grade status. In addition, some of these agreements include threshold amounts that would result in additional collateral payments if the values of derivative liabilities were to exceed the maximum values provided for in relevant counterparty agreements. Other provisions include payment features that are not specifically linked to ratings, but are based on certain financial metrics.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">97</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">New Jersey Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Part II</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 8.

For some physical commodity contracts, the Company utilizes transportation tariff rates that are publicly available and that it considers to be observable inputs that are equivalent to market data received from an independent source. There are no significant judgments or adjustments applied to the transportation tariff inputs and no market perspective is required. Even if the transportation tariff input were considered to be a &#8220;model,&#8221; it would still be considered to be a Level 2 input as the data is:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">widely accepted and public;</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">non-proprietary and sourced from an independent third party; and</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">observable and published.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:66px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">These additional adjustments are generally not considered to be significant to the ultimate recognized values.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:66px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">Level 3</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">Inputs derived from a significant amount of unobservable market data.

NJR primarily uses the market approach and its policy is to use actively quoted market prices when available. The principal market for its derivative transactions is the natural gas wholesale market, therefore, the primary sources for its price inputs are CME, NYMEX and ICE. NJRES uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, NJRES also engages in transactions that result in transporting natural gas to delivery points for which there is no actively quoted market price. In most instances, the transportation cost to the final delivery location is not significant to the overall valuation. If required, NJRES&#8217; policy is to use the best information available to determine fair value based on internal pricing models, which would include estimates extrapolated from broker quotes or other pricing services.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR also has available for sale securities and other financial assets that include listed equities, mutual funds and money market funds for which there are active exchange quotes available.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">When NJR determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk. NJR determines these adjustments by using historical default probabilities that correspond to the applicable S&amp;P issuer ratings, while also taking into consideration collateral and netting arrangements that serve to mitigate risk. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">99</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">New Jersey Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Part II</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">ITEM 8.

discount rate at which its obligation could be effectively settled. NJR determines a single weighted average discount rate based on a yield curve comprised of rates of return on a population of high quality debt issuances (AA- or better) whose cash flows (via coupons or maturities) match the timing and amount of its expected future benefit payments. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Company used the same assumed rate to measure the service and interest cost components of its net periodic benefit costs. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company changed its method of measuring its service and interest costs from the aggregate approach to a disaggregated, or spot rate, approach. Under the new approach, NJR applies the duration specific spot rates from the full yield curve, as of the measurement date, to each year&#8217;s future benefit payments. NJR believes that the new method provides for a more precise measurement of its service and interest costs by aligning the timing of the plans&#8217; separate future cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. Accordingly, NJR will account for this change prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font

Accordingly, NJR recognizes AROs related to the costs associated with cutting and capping its main and service gas distribution pipelines of NJNG, which is required by New Jersey law when taking such gas distribution pipeline out of service. NJR also recognizes AROs related to NJRCEV&#8217;s solar and wind assets when there are decommissioning provisions in NJRCEV&#8217;s lease agreements that require removal of the asset.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Accretion amounts associated with NJNG&#8217;s ARO are not reflected as an expense, but rather are deferred as a regulatory asset and netted against NJNG&#8217;s regulatory liabilities, for presentation purposes, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June&#160;29, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG&#8217;s December 2015 filing, which requested approval of its MGP expenditures incurred through </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, with recovery of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$9.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;annually related to the SBC RA factor with rates effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">July&#160;9, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$19.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of previously incurred remediation costs, net of recoveries from customers and insurance proceeds, are included in regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG periodically, and at least annually, performs an environmental review of the MGP sites, including a review of potential liability for investigation and remedial action. NJNG estimated at the time of the most recent review that total future expenditures to remediate and monitor the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">five</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;MGP sites for which it is responsible, including potential liabilities for Natural Resource Damages that might be brought by the NJDEP for alleged injury to groundwater or other natural resources concerning these sites, will range from approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$143.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$231.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. NJNG&#8217;s estimate of these liabilities is based upon known facts, existing technology and enacted laws and regulations in place when the review was completed. Where it is probable that costs will be incurred, and the information is sufficient to establish a range of possible liability, NJNG accrues the most likely amount in the range. If no point within the range is more likely than the other, it is NJNG&#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range. Accordingly, as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG recorded an MGP remediation liability and a corresponding regulatory asset of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the most likely amount. The actual costs to be incurred by NJNG are dependent upon several factors, including final determination of remedial action, changing technologies and governmental regulations, the ultimate ability of other responsible parties to pay and any insurance recoveries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG will continue to seek recovery of MGP-related costs through the RA. If any future regulatory position indicates that the recovery of such costs is not probable, the related non-recoverable costs would be charged to income in the period of such determination.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">General</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:6pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On February 24, 2015, a natural gas fire and explosion occurred in Stafford Township, New Jersey as a result of a natural gas leak emanating from an underground pipe. There were no fatalities, although several employees of NJNG were injured and several homes were damaged. NJNG notified its insurance carrier and believes that any costs associated with the incident, including attorneys&#8217; fees, property damage and other losses, will be substantially covered by insurance. The Company believes the resolution of any potential claims associated with the incident will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG estimates that liabilities associated with claims will range between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$600,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.2 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and has accrued the lower end of the range.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:6pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company is party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business.

Consequently, to reconcile between net income and NFE, current period unrealized gains and losses on the derivatives are excluded from NFE as a reconciling item. Additionally, realized derivative gains and losses are also included in current period net income. However, NFE includes only realized gains and losses related to natural gas sold out of inventory, effectively matching the full earnings effects of the derivatives with realized margins on physical gas flows. NJR also calculates a quarterly tax adjustment based on an estimated annual effective tax rate for NFE purposes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font

Accordingly, NJR recognizes AROs related to the costs associated with cutting and capping its main and service gas distribution pipelines of NJNG, which is required by New Jersey law when taking such gas distribution pipeline out of service. NJR also recognizes AROs related to NJRCEV&amp;#8217;s solar and wind assets when there are decommissioning provisions in NJRCEV&amp;#8217;s lease agreements that require removal of the asset.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Accretion amounts associated with NJNG&amp;#8217;s ARO are not reflected as an expense, but rather are deferred as a regulatory asset and netted against NJNG&amp;#8217;s regulatory liabilities, for presentation purposes, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NJNG estimated at the time of the most recent review that total future expenditures to remediate and monitor the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;five&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; MGP sites for which it is responsible, including potential liabilities for Natural Resource Damages that might be brought by the NJDEP for alleged injury to groundwater or other natural resources concerning these sites, will range from approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$143.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$231.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. NJNG&amp;#8217;s estimate of these liabilities is based upon known facts, existing technology and enacted laws and regulations in place when the review was completed. Where it is probable that costs will be incurred, and the information is sufficient to establish a range of possible liability, NJNG accrues the most likely amount in the range. If no point within the range is more likely than the other, it is NJNG&amp;#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range. Accordingly, as of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, NJNG recorded an MGP remediation liability and a corresponding regulatory asset of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$172 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the most likely amount. The actual costs to be incurred by NJNG are dependent upon several factors, including final determination of remedial action, changing technologies and governmental regulations, the ultimate ability of other responsible parties to pay and any insurance recoveries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG will continue to seek recovery of MGP-related costs through the RA. If any future regulatory position indicates that the recovery of such costs is not probable, the related non-recoverable costs would be charged to income in the period of such determination.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;General&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:6pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On February 24, 2015, a natural gas fire and explosion occurred in Stafford Township, New Jersey as a result of a natural gas leak emanating from an underground pipe. There were no fatalities, although several employees of NJNG were injured and several homes were damaged. NJNG notified its insurance carrier and believes that any costs associated with the incident, including attorneys&amp;#8217; fees, property damage and other losses, will be substantially covered by insurance. The Company believes the resolution of any potential claims associated with the incident will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, NJNG estimates that liabilities associated with claims will range between &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$600,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$3.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and has accrued the lower end of the range.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:6pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company is party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the Company&amp;#8217;s opinion, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

As part of computing its BGSS rate, NJNG projects its cost of natural gas, net of supplier refunds, the impact of hedging activities and credits from non-firm sales and transportation activities. NJNG subsequently recovers or credits the difference, if any, of actual costs compared with those included in current rates. Any underrecoveries or overrecoveries are either credited to customers or deferred and, subject to BPU approval, reflected in the BGSS rates in subsequent years.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Gas purchases at NJRES are comprised of gas costs NJRES is obligated to pay upon completion of a variety of transactions, as well as realized gains and losses from settled physical and financial derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on the change in fair value of derivative instruments that have not yet settled.

September 1, 2014, which secures all of the outstanding First Mortgage Bonds issued under the Old Mortgage Indenture. The Mortgage Indenture provides a direct first mortgage lien upon substantially all of the operating properties and franchises of NJNG (other than excepted property, such as cash on hand, choses-in-action, securities, rent, natural gas meters and certain materials, supplies, appliances and vehicles), subject only to certain permitted encumbrances. The Mortgage Indenture contains provisions subjecting after-acquired property (other than excepted property and subject to pre-existing liens, if any, at the time of acquisition) to the lien thereof.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG&amp;#8217;s Mortgage Indenture no longer contains a restriction on the ability of NJNG to pay dividends. New Jersey Administrative Code 14:4-4.7 states that a public utility cannot issue dividends if its equity to total capitalization ratio falls below &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;30 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; without regulatory approval.

To manage this risk, the Company enters into a variety of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, futures contracts, physical forward contracts, financial options and swaps to economically hedge the commodity price risk associated with its existing and anticipated commitments to purchase and sell natural gas, SRECs and electricity. In addition, the Company may utilize foreign currency derivatives to hedge Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases and/or sales. Therefore, the Company&amp;#8217;s primary underlying risks include commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency. These contracts, with a few exceptions as described below, are accounted for as derivatives. Accordingly, all of the financial and certain of the Company&amp;#8217;s physical derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For a more detailed discussion of the Company&amp;#8217;s fair value measurement policies and level disclosures associated with NJR&amp;#8217;s derivative instruments, see &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Note 5.

For NJRES at settlement, realized gains and (losses) on all financial derivative instruments are recognized as a component of gas purchases and realized gains and (losses) on all physical derivatives follow the presentation of the related unrealized gains and (losses) as a component of either gas purchases or operating revenues.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJRES also enters into natural gas transactions in Canada and, consequently, is exposed to fluctuations in the value of Canadian currency relative to the U.S. dollar. NJRES may utilize foreign currency derivatives to lock in the exchange  rate associated with natural gas transactions denominated in Canadian currency. The derivatives may include currency forwards, futures, or swaps and are accounted for as derivatives. These derivatives are typically used to hedge demand fee payments on pipeline capacity, storage and gas purchase agreements. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, NJRES designates its foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges, and the effective portion of the hedges are recorded in OCI. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, the Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency derivatives as accounting hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, are recognized in gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As a result of NJRES entering into transactions to borrow natural gas, commonly referred to as &amp;#8220;park and loans,&amp;#8221; an embedded derivative is recognized relating to differences between the fair value of the amount borrowed and the fair value of the amount that will ultimately be repaid, based on changes in the forward price for natural gas prices at the borrowed location over the contract term. This embedded derivative is accounted for as a forward sale in the month in which the repayment of the borrowed gas is expected to occur, and is considered a derivative transaction that is recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in value recognized in current period earnings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Expected production of SRECs is hedged through the use of forward and futures contracts. All contracts require the Company to physically deliver SRECs through the transfer of certificates as per contractual settlement schedules. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, the Company elected NPNS accounting treatment on SREC forward and futures contracts. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJRES no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on SREC contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, and recognizes changes in the fair value of these derivatives as a component of operating revenues. Upon settlement of the contract, the related revenue is recognized when the SREC is transferred to the counterparty. NPNS is a contract-by-contract election and, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NJNG&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Changes in fair value of NJNG&amp;#8217;s financial commodity derivatives are recorded as a component of regulatory assets or  liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elects NPNS accounting treatment on all physical commodity contracts that NJNG entered into on or before December 31, 2015, and accounts for these contracts on an accrual basis. Accordingly, physical natural gas purchases are recognized in regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the contract settles and the natural gas is delivered. The average cost of natural gas is amortized in current period earnings based on the current BPU BGSS factor and therm sales. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJNG no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on all of its physical commodity contracts entered into from January 1, 2016. However, since NPNS is a contract-by-contract election, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal. Because NJNG recovers these amounts through future BGSS rates as increases or decreases to the cost of natural gas in NJNG&amp;#8217;s tariff for gas service, the changes in fair value of these contracts are deferred as a component of regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In an April 2014 BPU Order, NJNG received regulatory approval to enter into interest rate risk management transactions related to long-term debt securities. On June 1, 2015, NJNG entered into a treasury lock transaction to fix a benchmark treasury rate of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;3.26 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; associated with a forecasted &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$125 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; debt issuance expected in May 2018. This forecasted debt issuance coincides with the maturity of NJNG&amp;#8217;s existing &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$125 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;5.6 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; notes due &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;May&amp;#160;15, 2018&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The change in fair value of NJNG&amp;#8217;s treasury lock agreement is recorded as a component of regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets since NJNG believes that the market value upon settlement will be recovered in future rates. Upon settlement, any gain or loss will be amortized into earnings over the life of the future underlying debt issuance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJRES utilizes financial derivatives to economically hedge the gross margin associated with the purchase of physical gas to be used for storage injection and its subsequent sale at a later date. The gains or (losses) on the financial transactions that are economic hedges of the cost of the purchased gas are recognized prior to the gains or (losses) on the physical transaction, which are recognized in earnings when the natural gas is delivered. Therefore, mismatches between the timing of the recognition of realized gains or (losses) on the financial derivative instruments and gains or (losses) associated with the actual sale of the natural gas that is being economically hedged along with fair value changes in derivative instruments creates volatility in the results of NJRES, although the Company&amp;#8217;s intended economic results

As a result of the inherent volatility in the prices of natural gas commodities, derivatives, SRECs, electricity and RECs, the market value of contractual positions with individual counterparties could exceed established credit limits or collateral provided by those counterparties. If a counterparty fails to perform the obligations under its contract (e.g., failed to deliver or pay for natural gas, SRECs, electricity or RECs), then the Company could sustain a loss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJR monitors and manages the credit risk of its wholesale operations through credit policies and procedures that management believes reduce overall credit risk. These policies include a review and evaluation of current and prospective counterparties&amp;#8217; financial statements and/or credit ratings, daily monitoring of counterparties&amp;#8217; credit limits and exposure, daily communication with traders regarding credit status and the use of credit mitigation measures, such as collateral requirements and netting agreements. Examples of collateral include letters of credit and cash received for either prepayment or margin deposit. Collateral may be requested due to NJR&amp;#8217;s election not to extend credit or because exposure exceeds defined thresholds. Most of NJR&amp;#8217;s wholesale marketing contracts contain standard netting provisions. These contracts include those governed by ISDA and the NAESB. The netting provisions refer to payment netting, whereby receivables and payables with the same counterparty are offset and the resulting net amount is paid to the party to which it is due.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Internally-rated exposure applies to counterparties that are not rated by S&amp;amp;P or Moody&amp;#8217;s. In these cases, the counterparty&amp;#8217;s or guarantor&amp;#8217;s financial statements are reviewed, and similar methodologies and ratios used by S&amp;amp;P and/or Moody&amp;#8217;s are applied to arrive at a substitute rating. Gross credit exposure is defined as the unrealized fair value of physical and financial derivative commodity contracts, plus any outstanding wholesale receivable for the value of natural gas delivered and/or financial derivative commodity contract that has settled for which payment has not yet been received.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

certain of NJNG&amp;#8217;s and NJRES&amp;#8217; derivative instruments are linked to agreements containing provisions that would require cash collateral payments from the Company if certain events occur. These provisions vary based upon the terms in individual counterparty agreements and can result in cash payments if NJNG&amp;#8217;s credit rating were to fall below its current level. NJNG&amp;#8217;s credit rating, with respect to S&amp;amp;P, reflects the overall corporate credit profile of NJR. Specifically, most, but not all, of these additional payments will be triggered if NJNG&amp;#8217;s debt is downgraded by the major credit agencies, regardless of investment grade status. In addition, some of these agreements include threshold amounts that would result in additional collateral payments if the values of derivative liabilities were to exceed the maximum values provided for in relevant counterparty agreements. Other provisions include payment features that are not specifically linked to ratings, but are based on certain financial metrics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Collateral amounts associated with any of these conditions are determined based on a sliding scale and are contingent upon the degree to which the Company&amp;#8217;s credit rating and/or financial metrics deteriorate, and the extent to which liability amounts exceed applicable threshold limits. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, is &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$23.1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$4.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively, for which the Company had not posted collateral. If all thresholds related to the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been invoked on &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the Company would have been required to post an additional &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$23.1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$4.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively, to its counterparties. These amounts differ from the respective net derivative liabilities reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets because the agreements also include clauses, commonly known as &amp;#8220;Rights of Offset,&amp;#8221; that would permit the Company to offset its derivative assets against its derivative liabilities for determining additional collateral to be posted, as previously discussed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DerivativeInstrumentsAndHedgingActivitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

NJR&amp;#8217;s unregulated subsidiaries record changes in the fair value of their financial commodity derivatives in gas purchases and changes in the fair value of their physical forward contracts in gas purchases or operating revenues, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. NJRES designated its foreign exchange contracts, entered into prior to January 1, 2016, as cash flow hedges of Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these hedges are recorded to AOCI, a component of stockholders&amp;#8217; equity, and reclassified to gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when they settle. Ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. NJR did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges during &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;fiscal 2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Derivatives and Hedging&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Topic of the ASC also provides for a NPNS scope exception for qualifying physical commodity contracts that are intended for purchases and sales during the normal course of business and for which physical delivery is probable. Effective January 1, 2016, NJR prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case by case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG, forward SREC contracts at NJRCEV and when it does, it does not record changes in the fair value of these contracts until the contract settles and the related underlying natural gas or SREC is delivered. Gains and/or losses on NJNG&amp;#8217;s derivatives used to economically hedge its regulated natural gas supply obligations, as well as its exposure to interest rate variability, are recoverable through its BGSS, a component of its tariff. Accordingly, the offset to the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;See &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Note 4. Derivative Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for additional details regarding natural gas trading and hedging activities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Fair values of exchange-traded instruments, including futures, swaps, and certain options, are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets. NJR&amp;#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at NJRES, and NJNG&amp;#8217;s Treasury Lock are valued using observable, quoted prices for similar or identical assets when available. In establishing the fair value of contracts for which a quoted basis price is not available at the measurement date, management utilizes available market data and pricing models to estimate fair values. Fair values are subject to change in the near term and reflect management&amp;#8217;s best estimate based on a variety of factors. Estimating fair values of instruments that do not have quoted market prices requires management&amp;#8217;s judgment in determining amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received from, or paid to, a third party in settlement of the instruments. These amounts could be materially different from amounts that might be realized in an actual sale transaction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company is subject to commodity price risk due to fluctuations in the market price of natural gas, SRECs and electricity. To manage this risk, the Company enters into a variety of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, futures contracts, physical forward contracts, financial options and swaps to economically hedge the commodity price risk associated with its existing and anticipated commitments to purchase and sell natural gas, SRECs and electricity. In addition, the Company may utilize foreign currency derivatives to hedge Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases and/or sales. Therefore, the Company&amp;#8217;s primary underlying risks include commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency. These contracts, with a few exceptions as described below, are accounted for as derivatives. Accordingly, all of the financial and certain of the Company&amp;#8217;s physical derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For a more detailed discussion of the Company&amp;#8217;s fair value measurement policies and level disclosures associated with NJR&amp;#8217;s derivative instruments, see &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Note 5.

For NJRES at settlement, realized gains and (losses) on all financial derivative instruments are recognized as a component of gas purchases and realized gains and (losses) on all physical derivatives follow the presentation of the related unrealized gains and (losses) as a component of either gas purchases or operating revenues.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJRES also enters into natural gas transactions in Canada and, consequently, is exposed to fluctuations in the value of Canadian currency relative to the U.S. dollar. NJRES may utilize foreign currency derivatives to lock in the exchange  rate associated with natural gas transactions denominated in Canadian currency. The derivatives may include currency forwards, futures, or swaps and are accounted for as derivatives. These derivatives are typically used to hedge demand fee payments on pipeline capacity, storage and gas purchase agreements. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, NJRES designates its foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges, and the effective portion of the hedges are recorded in OCI. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, the Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency derivatives as accounting hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, are recognized in gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As a result of NJRES entering into transactions to borrow natural gas, commonly referred to as &amp;#8220;park and loans,&amp;#8221; an embedded derivative is recognized relating to differences between the fair value of the amount borrowed and the fair value of the amount that will ultimately be repaid, based on changes in the forward price for natural gas prices at the borrowed location over the contract term. This embedded derivative is accounted for as a forward sale in the month in which the repayment of the borrowed gas is expected to occur, and is considered a derivative transaction that is recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in value recognized in current period earnings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Expected production of SRECs is hedged through the use of forward and futures contracts. All contracts require the Company to physically deliver SRECs through the transfer of certificates as per contractual settlement schedules. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, the Company elected NPNS accounting treatment on SREC forward and futures contracts. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJRES no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on SREC contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, and recognizes changes in the fair value of these derivatives as a component of operating revenues. Upon settlement of the contract, the related revenue is recognized when the SREC is transferred to the counterparty. NPNS is a contract-by-contract election and, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;NJNG&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Changes in fair value of NJNG&amp;#8217;s financial commodity derivatives are recorded as a component of regulatory assets or  liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elects NPNS accounting treatment on all physical commodity contracts that NJNG entered into on or before December 31, 2015, and accounts for these contracts on an accrual basis. Accordingly, physical natural gas purchases are recognized in regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the contract settles and the natural gas is delivered. The average cost of natural gas is amortized in current period earnings based on the current BPU BGSS factor and therm sales. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJNG no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on all of its physical commodity contracts entered into from January 1, 2016. However, since NPNS is a contract-by-contract election, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal. Because NJNG recovers these amounts through future BGSS rates as increases or decreases to the cost of natural gas in NJNG&amp;#8217;s tariff for gas service, the changes in fair value of these contracts are deferred as a component of regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DerivativesPolicyTextBlock>

In addition, authoritative accounting literature prescribes the use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based on the source of the data used to develop the price inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to inputs that are based on unobservable market data and include the following:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:66px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Level 1&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

NJR&amp;#8217;s Level 2 assets and liabilities include over-the-counter physical forward commodity contracts and swap contracts, SREC forward sales or derivatives that are initially valued using observable quotes and are subsequently adjusted to include time value, credit risk or estimated transport pricing components for which no basis price is available. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Level 2 financial derivatives consist of transactions with non-FCM counterparties (basis swaps, fixed swaps and/or options). NJNG&amp;#8217;s treasury lock is also considered Level 2 as valuation is based on quoted market interest and swap rates as inputs to the valuation model. Inputs are verifiable and do not require significant management judgment. For some physical commodity contracts, the Company utilizes transportation tariff rates that are publicly available and that it considers to be observable inputs that are equivalent to market data received from an independent source. There are no significant judgments or adjustments applied to the transportation tariff inputs and no market perspective is required. Even if the transportation tariff input were considered to be a &amp;#8220;model,&amp;#8221; it would still be considered to be a Level 2 input as the data is:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#8226;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;widely accepted and public;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#8226;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;non-proprietary and sourced from an independent third party; and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#8226;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;observable and published.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:66px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;These additional adjustments are generally not considered to be significant to the ultimate recognized values.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:66px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;Level 3&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;Inputs derived from a significant amount of unobservable market data. These include NJR&amp;#8217;s best estimate of fair value and are derived primarily through the use of internal valuation methodologies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG&amp;#8217;s and NJRES&amp;#8217; financial derivatives portfolios consist mainly of futures, options and swaps. NJR primarily uses the market approach and its policy is to use actively quoted market prices when available. The principal market for its derivative transactions is the natural gas wholesale market, therefore, the primary sources for its price inputs are CME, NYMEX and ICE. NJRES uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, NJRES also engages in transactions that result in transporting natural gas to delivery points for which there is no actively quoted market price. In most instances, the transportation cost to the final delivery location is not significant to the overall valuation. If required, NJRES&amp;#8217; policy is to use the best information available to determine fair value based on internal pricing models, which would include estimates extrapolated from broker quotes or other pricing services.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJR also has available for sale securities and other financial assets that include listed equities, mutual funds and money market funds for which there are active exchange quotes available.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;When NJR determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk. NJR determines these adjustments by using historical default probabilities that correspond to the applicable S&amp;amp;P issuer ratings, while also taking into consideration collateral and netting arrangements that serve to mitigate risk. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br

In addition, authoritative accounting literature prescribes the use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based on the source of the data used to develop the price inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to inputs that are based on unobservable market data and include the following:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:66px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Level 1&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

NJR&amp;#8217;s Level 2 assets and liabilities include over-the-counter physical forward commodity contracts and swap contracts, SREC forward sales or derivatives that are initially valued using observable quotes and are subsequently adjusted to include time value, credit risk or estimated transport pricing components for which no basis price is available. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Level 2 financial derivatives consist of transactions with non-FCM counterparties (basis swaps, fixed swaps and/or options). NJNG&amp;#8217;s treasury lock is also considered Level 2 as valuation is based on quoted market interest and swap rates as inputs to the valuation model. Inputs are verifiable and do not require significant management judgment. For some physical commodity contracts, the Company utilizes transportation tariff rates that are publicly available and that it considers to be observable inputs that are equivalent to market data received from an independent source. There are no significant judgments or adjustments applied to the transportation tariff inputs and no market perspective is required. Even if the transportation tariff input were considered to be a &amp;#8220;model,&amp;#8221; it would still be considered to be a Level 2 input as the data is:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#8226;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;widely accepted and public;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#8226;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;non-proprietary and sourced from an independent third party; and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#8226;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;observable and published.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:66px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;These additional adjustments are generally not considered to be significant to the ultimate recognized values.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:66px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;Level 3&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;Inputs derived from a significant amount of unobservable market data. These include NJR&amp;#8217;s best estimate of fair value and are derived primarily through the use of internal valuation methodologies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG&amp;#8217;s and NJRES&amp;#8217; financial derivatives portfolios consist mainly of futures, options and swaps. NJR primarily uses the market approach and its policy is to use actively quoted market prices when available. The principal market for its derivative transactions is the natural gas wholesale market, therefore, the primary sources for its price inputs are CME, NYMEX and ICE. NJRES uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, NJRES also engages in transactions that result in transporting natural gas to delivery points for which there is no actively quoted market price. In most instances, the transportation cost to the final delivery location is not significant to the overall valuation. If required, NJRES&amp;#8217; policy is to use the best information available to determine fair value based on internal pricing models, which would include estimates extrapolated from broker quotes or other pricing services.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJR also has available for sale securities and other financial assets that include listed equities, mutual funds and money market funds for which there are active exchange quotes available.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;When NJR determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk. NJR determines these adjustments by using historical default probabilities that correspond to the applicable S&amp;amp;P issuer ratings, while also taking into consideration collateral and netting arrangements that serve to mitigate risk.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:FairValueOfFinancialInstrumentsPolicy>

ITCs at NJNG are deferred and amortized as a reduction to the tax provision over the average lives of the related equipment in accordance with regulatory treatment. ITCs at NJR&amp;#8217;s unregulated subsidiaries are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense when the property is placed in service. The Company invests in property that qualifies for PTCs. PTCs are recognized as reductions to current federal income tax expense as PTCs are generated through the production activities of the assets. Changes to the federal statutes related to ITCs and PTCs, which have the effect of reducing or eliminating the credits, could have a negative impact on earnings and cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxPolicyTextBlock>

The new guidance also increased the threshold for tax withholding to the maximum statutory rate, as applicable, to maintain equity classification and amended the classification of certain tax transactions within the statement of cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:29px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company elected to early adopt the amended guidance during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and applied the new provisions as of the beginning of the year of adoption on a retrospective or prospective basis depending on each amendment&amp;#8217;s transition requirements. As such, effective October 1, 2015, NJR is recognizing forfeitures as they occur and is recognizing excess tax benefits (deficiencies) as a component of income tax (benefit) provision in its Consolidated Statements of Operations on a prospective basis. Accordingly, upon adoption, the Company recognized &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font

style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, and added Topic 606, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue from Contracts with Customers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, to the ASC. ASC 606 supersedes ASC 605, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, as well as most industry-specific guidance, and prescribes a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model designed to improve financial reporting comparability across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the implementation of the new guidance for one year. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 606, however, based on the review of customer contracts to date, it is not anticipating a material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. Accordingly, the Company expects to transition to the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Stock Compensation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, an amendment to ASC 718, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Compensation - Stock Compensation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which clarifies the accounting for performance awards when the terms of the award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and interim periods within that year, on a prospective basis, and will not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Consolidation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, an amendment to ASC 810, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Consolidation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which changes the consolidation analysis required under GAAP and reevaluates whether limited partnerships and similar entities must be   consolidated. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and interim periods within that year, on a full retrospective basis, and will not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Interest&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, an amendment to ASC 835, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Interest - Imputation of Interest,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring them to be presented on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the liability. The amendments do not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, which clarified that the amendments contained within ASU No. 2015-03 do not require companies to modify their accounting for costs incurred in obtaining revolving credit facilities. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and interim periods within that year, on a retrospective basis, and will not have a material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Intangibles&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, an amendment to ASC 350, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; which clarifies the accounting for fees in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments provide guidance on how an entity should evaluate the accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement to determine whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and interim periods within that year, on a prospective basis, and will not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Inventory&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, an amendment to ASC 330, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Inventory&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which requires entities to measure most inventory &amp;#8220;at the lower of cost or net realizable value,&amp;#8221; thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the amendment to understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Financial Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, an amendment to ASC 825, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Financial Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, to address certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The standard affects investments in equity securities that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value by requiring a qualitative assessment. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a modified-retrospective basis. The Company has evaluated the amendments and noted that, upon adoption, subsequent changes to the fair value of the Company&amp;#8217;s available for sale securities will be recorded in the statement of operations as opposed to other comprehensive income. The Company does not expect any other material impacts to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, an amendment to ASC 326, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;which changes the impairment model for certain financial assets that have a contractual right to receive cash, including trade and loan receivables. The new model requires recognition based upon an estimation of expected credit losses rather than recognition of losses when it is probable that they have been incurred. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption and will apply the new guidance to its trade and loan receivables on a modified retrospective basis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Leases&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, an amendment to ASC 842, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which provides for a comprehensive overhaul of the lease accounting model and changes the definition of a lease within the accounting literature. Under the new standard, all leases with a term greater than one year will be recorded on the balance sheet. Amortization of the related asset will be accounted for using one of two approaches prescribed by the guidance. Additional disclosures will be required to allow the user to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing activities. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at the time of adoption. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:29px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, an amendment to ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues for which there has been diversity in practice. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to understand the impact on its consolidated statements of cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

Participation in the postemployment medical and life insurance plan was also frozen to new employees as of the same dates, with the exception of new NJRHS represented employees, for which benefits were frozen beginning April 3, 2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company maintains an unfunded nonqualified PEP that was established to provide employees with the full level of benefits as stated in the qualified plan without reductions due to various limitations imposed by the provisions of federal income tax laws and regulations. There were no plan assets in the nonqualified plan due to the nature of the plan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company&amp;#8217;s funding policy for its pension plans is to contribute at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;fiscal 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the Company had no minimum funding requirements. The Company made &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;no&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; discretionary contributions to the pension plans in fiscal 2015. The Company made a discretionary contribution of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$30 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to improve the funded status of the pension plans based on current actuarial assumptions. The Company does not expect to be required to make additional contributions to fund the pension plans over the following two fiscal years based on current actuarial assumptions; however, funding requirements are uncertain and can depend significantly on changes in actuarial assumptions, returns on plan assets and changes in the demographics of eligible employees and covered dependents.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;There are no Federal requirements to pre-fund OPEB benefits. However, the Company is required to fund certain amounts due to regulatory agreements with the BPU. The Company contributed &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$3.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5.7 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;fiscal 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively, and estimates that it will contribute between &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; over each of the next &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;five years&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;When measuring its projected benefit obligations, NJR uses an aggregate discount rate at which its obligation could be effectively settled. NJR determines a single weighted average discount rate based on a yield curve comprised of rates of return on a population of high quality debt issuances (AA- or better) whose cash flows (via coupons or maturities) match the timing and amount of its expected future benefit payments. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Company used the same assumed rate to measure the service and interest cost components of its net periodic benefit costs. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company changed its method of measuring its service and interest costs from the aggregate approach to a disaggregated, or spot rate, approach. Under the new approach, NJR applies the duration specific spot rates from the full yield curve, as of the measurement date, to each year&amp;#8217;s future benefit payments. NJR believes that the new method provides for a more precise measurement of its service and interest costs by aligning the timing of the plans&amp;#8217; separate future cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. Accordingly, NJR will account for this change prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font

Benefits are based on each employee&amp;#8217;s years of service and compensation. NJR&amp;#8217;s funding policy is to contribute annually to these plans at least the minimum amount required under Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, and not more than can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Plan assets consist of equity securities, fixed-income securities and short-term investments. The Company made a discretionary contribution of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$30 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to improve the funded status of the pension plans based on then current actuarial assumptions, which included the adoption of the most recent mortality table. The Company made &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;no&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; discretionary contributions to the pension plans in fiscal &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJR also provides &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;two&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; primarily noncontributory medical and life insurance plans for eligible retirees and dependents.

NJNG is required, pursuant to a written order by the BPU under EDECA, to open its residential markets to competition from third-party natural gas suppliers. Customers can choose the supplier of their natural gas commodity in NJNG&amp;#8217;s service territory.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As required by EDECA, NJNG&amp;#8217;s rates are segregated into two primary components, the commodity portion, which represents the wholesale cost of natural gas, including the cost for interstate pipeline capacity to transport the gas to NJNG&amp;#8217;s service territory, and the delivery portion, which represents the transportation of the commodity portion through NJNG&amp;#8217;s gas distribution system to the end-use customer. NJNG does not earn utility gross margin on the commodity portion of its natural gas sales. NJNG earns utility gross margin through the delivery of natural gas to its customers, regardless of whether it or a third-party supplier provides the wholesale natural gas commodity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Under EDECA, the BPU is required to audit the state&amp;#8217;s energy utilities every two years. The primary purpose of the audit is to ensure that utilities and their affiliates offering unregulated retail services do not have an unfair competitive advantage over nonaffiliated providers of similar retail services. A combined competitive services and management audit of NJNG commenced in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;August 2013&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. A draft management audit report was accepted by the BPU on July 23, 2014, for public comment. To date, NJNG has been implementing all audit recommendations with the approval of BPU Staff and is waiting for final BPU approval.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG is subject to cost-based regulation, therefore, it is permitted to recover authorized operating expenses and earn a reasonable return on its utility capital investments based on the BPU&amp;#8217;s approval. The impact of the ratemaking process and decisions authorized by the BPU allows NJNG to capitalize or defer certain costs that are expected to be recovered from its customers as regulatory assets and to recognize certain obligations representing amounts that are probable future expenditures as regulatory liabilities in accordance with accounting guidance applicable to regulated operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:28px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG&amp;#8217;s recovery of costs is facilitated through its base rates, BGSS and other regulatory tariff riders. NJNG is required to make an annual filing to the BPU by June 1 of each year for review of its BGSS, CIP and various other programs and related rates. Annual rate changes are requested to be effective at the beginning of the following fiscal year. In addition, NJNG is also permitted to request approval of certain rate or program changes on an interim basis. All rate and program changes are subject to proper notification and BPU review and approval.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Base Rate Case&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;November&amp;#160;13, 2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, NJNG filed a base rate case petition with the BPU, requesting an increase in base rates in the amount of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$147.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which was revised on &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;July&amp;#160;20, 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$112.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

Funding amounts are determined by the BPU&amp;#8217;s Office of Clean Energy and all New Jersey utilities are required to share in the annual funding obligation. The current NJCEP program is for the State of New Jersey&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending June 2017.

Upon adoption, NJNG recognized a transition adjustment and corresponding regulatory asset representing the difference between NJNG&amp;#8217;s existing deferred tax amounts compared with the deferred tax amounts calculated in accordance with the change in method prescribed by ASC 740. NJNG recovers the regulatory asset associated with these tax impacts through future base rates, without interest.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:33px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;SAVEGREEN&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:33px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG administers certain programs that supplement the state&amp;#8217;s NJCEP and that allow NJNG to promote clean energy to its residential and commercial customers, as described further below.

NJNG filed a petition with the BPU in November 2012 requesting deferred accounting for uninsured incremental O&amp;amp;M costs associated with its restoration efforts, which was approved in May 2013. On October 22, 2014, the BPU approved, as prudent and reasonable, the deferred O&amp;amp;M storm costs.

NJNG&amp;#8217;s cost of gas includes the purchased cost of the natural gas commodity, fees paid to pipelines and storage facilities, adjustments as a result of BGSS incentive programs, and hedging transactions. Overrecovered gas costs represent a regulatory liability that generally occurs when NJNG&amp;#8217;s BGSS rates are higher than actual costs and requests approval to be returned to customers including interest, when applicable, in accordance with NJNG&amp;#8217;s approved BGSS tariff. Conversely, underrecovered gas costs generally occurs during periods when NJNG&amp;#8217;s BGSS rates are lower than actual costs, in which case NJNG records a regulatory asset and requests amounts to be recovered from customers in the future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:29px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Cost of Removal Obligation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:28px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG accrues and collects for cost of removal in base rates on its utility property, without interest. NJNG&amp;#8217;s regulatory liability represents customer collections in excess of actual expenditures, which the Company will return to customers as a reduction to depreciation expense until it is depleted by November 2019 when NJNG will file the next required base rate case.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:29px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;The following is a description of certain regulatory proceedings during &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;fiscal 2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:29px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;BGSS and CIP&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:28px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;BGSS rates are normally revised on an annual basis. In addition, to manage the fluctuations in wholesale natural gas costs, NJNG has the ability to make two interim filings during each fiscal year to increase residential and small commercial customer BGSS rates on a self-implementing and provisional basis. NJNG is also permitted to refund or credit back a portion of the commodity costs to customers when the natural gas commodity costs decrease in comparison to amounts projected or to amounts previously collected from customers. Concurrent with the annual BGSS filing, NJNG files for an annual review of its CIP. In &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;May 2014&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the BPU approved the continuation of the CIP program with no expiration date; however, it will be subject to review in a future rate filing in 2017. NJNG&amp;#8217;s annual BGSS and CIP filings are summarized as follows:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:48px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#8226;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;June 2014 BGSS/CIP filing &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;&amp;#8212;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; In &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;April 2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the BPU approved the existing BGSS rate and the reduction in CIP rates, effective &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;October 2014&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which resulted in a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;4.3 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; decrease to an average residential heat customer&amp;#8217;s bill.

As a condition of approval of the extension, NJNG is required to file a base rate case no later than November 2019.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;NJ RISE&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;July 2014&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the BPU approved NJ RISE, which consists of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;six&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; capital investment projects estimated to cost &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$102.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; over a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;five&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;-year period, excluding AFUDC, for gas distribution storm hardening and mitigation projects, along with incremental depreciation expense.

NJ RISE investments through June 30, 2016 were approved for recovery through NJNG&amp;#8217;s new base rates effective October 1, 2016. Requests for recovery of future NJ RISE capital costs will occur in conjunction with SAFE II, commencing with the rate recovery filing to be submitted in March 2017 with a weighted cost of capital of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;6.9 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, including a return on equity of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;9.75 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;NGV refueling stations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;June 2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the BPU approved a pilot program for NJNG to invest up to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$10 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to build NGV refueling stations.

On &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;March&amp;#160;18, 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the BPU issued an order designating the SRL route and exempting the SRL from municipal land use ordinances, regulations, permits and license requirements. These two BPU orders have been appealed by third parties.

On June 2016, NJNG&amp;#8217;s liquefaction project became operational, allowing NJNG to convert natural gas into LNG and to fill NJNG&amp;#8217;s existing LNG storage tanks. Costs for this project along with other plant upgrades were approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$36.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

Natural gas sales to individual customers are based on meter  readings, which are performed on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each month, the amount of natural gas delivered to each customer after the last meter reading through the end of the respective accounting period is estimated, and NJNG recognizes unbilled revenues related to these amounts. The unbilled revenue estimates are based on estimated customer usage by customer type, weather effects, unaccounted-for gas and the most current tariff rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJRCEV recognizes revenue when SRECs are transferred to counterparties.

Consequently, to reconcile between net income and NFE, current period unrealized gains and losses on the derivatives are excluded from NFE as a reconciling item. Additionally, realized derivative gains and losses are also included in current period net income. However, NFE includes only realized gains and losses related to natural gas sold out of inventory, effectively matching the full earnings effects of the derivatives with realized margins on physical gas flows. NJR also calculates a quarterly tax adjustment based on an estimated annual effective tax rate for NFE purposes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

NJR&amp;#8217;s unregulated subsidiaries record changes in the fair value of their financial commodity derivatives in gas purchases and changes in the fair value of their physical forward contracts in gas purchases or operating revenues, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. NJRES designated its foreign exchange contracts, entered into prior to January 1, 2016, as cash flow hedges of Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these hedges are recorded to AOCI, a component of stockholders&amp;#8217; equity, and reclassified to gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when they settle. Ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. NJR did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges during &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;fiscal 2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Derivatives and Hedging&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Topic of the ASC also provides for a NPNS scope exception for qualifying physical commodity contracts that are intended for purchases and sales during the normal course of business and for which physical delivery is probable. Effective January 1, 2016, NJR prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case by case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG, forward SREC contracts at NJRCEV and when it does, it does not record changes in the fair value of these contracts until the contract settles and the related underlying natural gas or SREC is delivered. Gains and/or losses on NJNG&amp;#8217;s derivatives used to economically hedge its regulated natural gas supply obligations, as well as its exposure to interest rate variability, are recoverable through its BGSS, a component of its tariff. Accordingly, the offset to the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;See &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Note 4. Derivative Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for additional details regarding natural gas trading and hedging activities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Fair values of exchange-traded instruments, including futures, swaps, and certain options, are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets. NJR&amp;#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at NJRES, and NJNG&amp;#8217;s Treasury Lock are valued using observable, quoted prices for similar or identical assets when available. In establishing the fair value of contracts for which a quoted basis price is not available at the measurement date, management utilizes available market data and pricing models to estimate fair values. Fair values are subject to change in the near term and reflect management&amp;#8217;s best estimate based on a variety of factors. Estimating fair values of instruments that do not have quoted market prices requires management&amp;#8217;s judgment in determining amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received from, or paid to, a third party in settlement of the instruments. These amounts could be materially different from amounts that might be realized in an actual sale transaction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Revenues&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Revenues from the sale of natural gas to NJNG customers are recognized in the period that gas is delivered and consumed by customers, including an estimate for unbilled revenue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG records unbilled revenue for natural gas services. Natural gas sales to individual customers are based on meter  readings, which are performed on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each month, the amount of natural gas delivered to each customer after the last meter reading through the end of the respective accounting period is estimated, and NJNG recognizes unbilled revenues related to these amounts. The unbilled revenue estimates are based on estimated customer usage by customer type, weather effects, unaccounted-for gas and the most current tariff rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJRCEV recognizes revenue when SRECs are transferred to counterparties. SRECs are physically delivered through the transfer of certificates as per contractual settlement schedules.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Revenues for NJRES are recognized when the natural gas is physically delivered to the customer. In addition, changes in the fair value of derivatives that economically hedge the forecasted sales of the natural gas are recognized in operating revenues as they occur, as noted above. NJRES also recognizes changes in the fair value of SREC derivative contracts as a component of operating revenues.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Revenues from all other activities are recorded in the period during which products or services are delivered and accepted by customers, or over the related contractual term.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Gas Purchases&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG&amp;#8217;s tariff includes a component for BGSS, which is designed to allow NJNG to recover the cost of natural gas through rates charged to its customers and is typically revised on an annual basis. As part of computing its BGSS rate, NJNG projects its cost of natural gas, net of supplier refunds, the impact of hedging activities and credits from non-firm sales and transportation activities. NJNG subsequently recovers or credits the difference, if any, of actual costs compared with those included in current rates.

ITCs at NJNG are deferred and amortized as a reduction to the tax provision over the average lives of the related equipment in accordance with regulatory treatment. ITCs at NJR&amp;#8217;s unregulated subsidiaries are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense when the property is placed in service. The Company invests in property that qualifies for PTCs. PTCs are recognized as reductions to current federal income tax expense as PTCs are generated through the production activities of the assets. Changes to the federal statutes related to ITCs and PTCs, which have the effect of reducing or eliminating the credits, could have a negative impact on earnings and cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Capitalized and Deferred Interest&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJNG&amp;#8217;s base rates include the ability to recover AFUDC on its CWIP.

The composite rate of depreciation used for NJNG was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2.32 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of average depreciable property in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;fiscal 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2.31 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;fiscal 2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2.44 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;fiscal 2014&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

NJR classified the DM Common Units as available for sale securities and, therefore, any changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of common stock equity. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Reclassifications of realized gains out of other comprehensive income into income are determined based on average cost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;There were &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;no&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; sales of securities during &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;fiscal 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Customer Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Receivables consist of natural gas sales and transportation services billed to residential, commercial, industrial and other customers, as well as equipment sales, installations, solar leases and PPAs to commercial and residential customers.

The allowance is based on a combination of factors including historical collection experience and trends, aging of receivables, general economic conditions in the company&amp;#8217;s distribution or sales territories, and customer specific information.

Concurrently, NJR also capitalizes an asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related asset by the same amount as the liability. In periods subsequent to the initial measurement, NJR is required to recognize changes in the liability resulting from the passage of time (accretion) or due to revisions to either timing or the amount of the originally estimated cash flows to settle the conditional ARO.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font

Benefits are based on each employee&amp;#8217;s years of service and compensation. NJR&amp;#8217;s funding policy is to contribute annually to these plans at least the minimum amount required under Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, and not more than can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Plan assets consist of equity securities, fixed-income securities and short-term investments. The Company made a discretionary contribution of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$30 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to improve the funded status of the pension plans based on then current actuarial assumptions, which included the adoption of the most recent mortality table. The Company made &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;no&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; discretionary contributions to the pension plans in fiscal &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;NJR also provides &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;two&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; primarily noncontributory medical and life insurance plans for eligible retirees and dependents. Medical benefits, which make up the largest component of the plans, are based upon an age and years-of-service vesting schedule and other plan provisions. Funding of these benefits is made primarily into Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association trust funds. NJR contributed &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in aggregate to these plans in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;fiscal 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2014&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;See &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Note 10.

the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, an amendment to ASC 718, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Compensation - Stock Compensation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures. The new guidance also increased the threshold for tax withholding to the maximum statutory rate, as applicable, to maintain equity classification and amended the classification of certain tax transactions within the statement of cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:29px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company elected to early adopt the amended guidance during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and applied the new provisions as of the beginning of the year of adoption on a retrospective or prospective basis depending on each amendment&amp;#8217;s transition requirements. As such, effective October 1, 2015, NJR is recognizing forfeitures as they occur and is recognizing excess tax benefits (deficiencies) as a component of income tax (benefit) provision in its Consolidated Statements of Operations on a prospective basis. Accordingly, upon adoption, the Company recognized &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font

style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, and added Topic 606, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue from Contracts with Customers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, to the ASC. ASC 606 supersedes ASC 605, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, as well as most industry-specific guidance, and prescribes a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model designed to improve financial reporting comparability across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the implementation of the new guidance for one year. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 606, however, based on the review of customer contracts to date, it is not anticipating a material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. Accordingly, the Company expects to transition to the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Stock Compensation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, an amendment to ASC 718, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Compensation - Stock Compensation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which clarifies the accounting for performance awards when the terms of the award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and interim periods within that year, on a prospective basis, and will not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Consolidation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, an amendment to ASC 810, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Consolidation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which changes the consolidation analysis required under GAAP and reevaluates whether limited partnerships and similar entities must be   consolidated. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and interim periods within that year, on a full retrospective basis, and will not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Interest&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, an amendment to ASC 835, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Interest - Imputation of Interest,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring them to be presented on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the liability. The amendments do not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, which clarified that the amendments contained within ASU No. 2015-03 do not require companies to modify their accounting for costs incurred in obtaining revolving credit facilities. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and interim periods within that year, on a retrospective basis, and will not have a material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Intangibles&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, an amendment to ASC 350, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; which clarifies the accounting for fees in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments provide guidance on how an entity should evaluate the accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement to determine whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. The new guidance will become effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, and interim periods within that year, on a prospective basis, and will not impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Inventory&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, an amendment to ASC 330, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Inventory&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which requires entities to measure most inventory &amp;#8220;at the lower of cost or net realizable value,&amp;#8221; thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the amendment to understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Financial Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, an amendment to ASC 825, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Financial Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, to address certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The standard affects investments in equity securities that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value by requiring a qualitative assessment. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a modified-retrospective basis. The Company has evaluated the amendments and noted that, upon adoption, subsequent changes to the fair value of the Company&amp;#8217;s available for sale securities will be recorded in the statement of operations as opposed to other comprehensive income. The Company does not expect any other material impacts to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, an amendment to ASC 326, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;which changes the impairment model for certain financial assets that have a contractual right to receive cash, including trade and loan receivables. The new model requires recognition based upon an estimation of expected credit losses rather than recognition of losses when it is probable that they have been incurred. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption and will apply the new guidance to its trade and loan receivables on a modified retrospective basis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Leases&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, an amendment to ASC 842, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which provides for a comprehensive overhaul of the lease accounting model and changes the definition of a lease within the accounting literature. Under the new standard, all leases with a term greater than one year will be recorded on the balance sheet. Amortization of the related asset will be accounted for using one of two approaches prescribed by the guidance. Additional disclosures will be required to allow the user to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing activities. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at the time of adoption. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:29px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, an amendment to ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues for which there has been diversity in practice.

Other than temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis for debt securities categorized as Available-for-sale that an entity does not intend to sell and for which it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis are bifurcated into credit losses and losses related to all other factors.

Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>

NJR&#8217;s unregulated subsidiaries record changes in the fair value of their financial commodity derivatives in gas purchases and changes in the fair value of their physical forward contracts in gas purchases or operating revenues, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. NJRES designated its foreign exchange contracts, entered into prior to January 1, 2016, as cash flow hedges of Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these hedges are recorded to AOCI, a component of stockholders&#8217; equity, and reclassified to gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when they settle. Ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. NJR did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges during </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">fiscal 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Derivatives and Hedging</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> Topic of the ASC also provides for a NPNS scope exception for qualifying physical commodity contracts that are intended for purchases and sales during the normal course of business and for which physical delivery is probable. Effective January 1, 2016, NJR prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case by case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG, forward SREC contracts at NJRCEV and when it does, it does not record changes in the fair value of these contracts until the contract settles and the related underlying natural gas or SREC is delivered. Gains and/or losses on NJNG&#8217;s derivatives used to economically hedge its regulated natural gas supply obligations, as well as its exposure to interest rate variability, are recoverable through its BGSS, a component of its tariff. Accordingly, the offset to the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 4.

NJR&#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at NJRES, and NJNG&#8217;s Treasury Lock are valued using observable, quoted prices for similar or identical assets when available. In establishing the fair value of contracts for which a quoted basis price is not available at the measurement date, management utilizes available market data and pricing models to estimate fair values. Fair values are subject to change in the near term and reflect management&#8217;s best estimate based on a variety of factors. Estimating fair values of instruments that do not have quoted market prices requires management&#8217;s judgment in determining amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received from, or paid to, a third party in settlement of the instruments. These amounts could be materially different from amounts that might be realized in an actual sale transaction.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Revenues</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Revenues from the sale of natural gas to NJNG customers are recognized in the period that gas is delivered and consumed by customers, including an estimate for unbilled revenue.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG records unbilled revenue for natural gas services. Natural gas sales to individual customers are based on meter  readings, which are performed on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each month, the amount of natural gas delivered to each customer after the last meter reading through the end of the respective accounting period is estimated, and NJNG recognizes unbilled revenues related to these amounts. The unbilled revenue estimates are based on estimated customer usage by customer type, weather effects, unaccounted-for gas and the most current tariff rates.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRCEV recognizes revenue when SRECs are transferred to counterparties.

As part of computing its BGSS rate, NJNG projects its cost of natural gas, net of supplier refunds, the impact of hedging activities and credits from non-firm sales and transportation activities. NJNG subsequently recovers or credits the difference, if any, of actual costs compared with those included in current rates. Any underrecoveries or overrecoveries are either credited to customers or deferred and, subject to BPU approval, reflected in the BGSS rates in subsequent years.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Gas purchases at NJRES are comprised of gas costs NJRES is obligated to pay upon completion of a variety of transactions, as well as realized gains and losses from settled physical and financial derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on the change in fair value of derivative instruments that have not yet settled.

Concurrently, NJR also capitalizes an asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related asset by the same amount as the liability. In periods subsequent to the initial measurement, NJR is required to recognize changes in the liability resulting from the passage of time (accretion) or due to revisions to either timing or the amount of the originally estimated cash flows to settle the conditional ARO.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font

</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Compensation - Stock Compensation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures. The new guidance also increased the threshold for tax withholding to the maximum statutory rate, as applicable, to maintain equity classification and amended the classification of certain tax transactions within the statement of cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:29px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company elected to early adopt the amended guidance during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and applied the new provisions as of the beginning of the year of adoption on a retrospective or prospective basis depending on each amendment&#8217;s transition requirements. As such, effective October 1, 2015, NJR is recognizing forfeitures as they occur and is recognizing excess tax benefits (deficiencies) as a component of income tax (benefit) provision in its Consolidated Statements of Operations on a prospective basis. Accordingly, upon adoption, the Company recognized </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in excess tax benefits

The new guidance will become effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 606, however, based on the review of customer contracts to date, it is not anticipating a material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

The standard affects investments in equity securities that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value by requiring a qualitative assessment. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a modified-retrospective basis. The Company has evaluated the amendments and noted that, upon adoption, subsequent changes to the fair value of the Company&#8217;s available for sale securities will be recorded in the statement of operations as opposed to other comprehensive income. The Company does not expect any other material impacts to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, an amendment to ASC 326, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">which changes the impairment model for certain financial assets that have a contractual right to receive cash, including trade and loan receivables. The new model requires recognition based upon an estimation of expected credit losses rather than recognition of losses when it is probable that they have been incurred. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption and will apply the new guidance to its trade and loan receivables on a modified retrospective basis.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Leases</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, an amendment to ASC 842, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Leases</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which provides for a comprehensive overhaul of the lease accounting model and changes the definition of a lease within the accounting literature. Under the new standard, all leases with a term greater than one year will be recorded on the balance sheet. Amortization of the related asset will be accounted for using one of two approaches prescribed by the guidance. Additional disclosures will be required to allow the user to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing activities. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at the time of adoption. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted.

Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to understand the impact on its consolidated statements of cash flows upon adoption.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Use of Estimates</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires NJR to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingencies during the reporting period. On a monthly basis, NJR evaluates its estimates, including those related to the calculation of the fair value of derivative instruments, debt, unbilled revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, provisions for depreciation and amortization, regulatory assets and liabilities, income taxes, pensions and other postemployment benefits, contingencies related to environmental matters and litigation. AROs are evaluated as often as needed. NJR&#8217;s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR has legal, regulatory and environmental proceedings during the normal course of business that can result in loss contingencies. When evaluating the potential for a loss, NJR will establish a reserve if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, in which case it is NJR&#8217;s policy to accrue the full amount of such estimates. Where the information is sufficient only to establish a range of probable liability, and no point within the range is more likely than any other, it is NJR&#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range. In the normal course of business, estimated amounts are subsequently adjusted to actual results that may differ from estimates.</font></div></div><span></span>

NJNG is required, pursuant to a written order by the BPU under EDECA, to open its residential markets to competition from third-party natural gas suppliers. Customers can choose the supplier of their natural gas commodity in NJNG&#8217;s service territory.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As required by EDECA, NJNG&#8217;s rates are segregated into two primary components, the commodity portion, which represents the wholesale cost of natural gas, including the cost for interstate pipeline capacity to transport the gas to NJNG&#8217;s service territory, and the delivery portion, which represents the transportation of the commodity portion through NJNG&#8217;s gas distribution system to the end-use customer. NJNG does not earn utility gross margin on the commodity portion of its natural gas sales. NJNG earns utility gross margin through the delivery of natural gas to its customers, regardless of whether it or a third-party supplier provides the wholesale natural gas commodity.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Under EDECA, the BPU is required to audit the state&#8217;s energy utilities every two years. The primary purpose of the audit is to ensure that utilities and their affiliates offering unregulated retail services do not have an unfair competitive advantage over nonaffiliated providers of similar retail services. A combined competitive services and management audit of NJNG commenced in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">August 2013</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. A draft management audit report was accepted by the BPU on July 23, 2014, for public comment. To date, NJNG has been implementing all audit recommendations with the approval of BPU Staff and is waiting for final BPU approval.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG is subject to cost-based regulation, therefore, it is permitted to recover authorized operating expenses and earn a reasonable return on its utility capital investments based on the BPU&#8217;s approval. The impact of the ratemaking process and decisions authorized by the BPU allows NJNG to capitalize or defer certain costs that are expected to be recovered from its customers as regulatory assets and to recognize certain obligations representing amounts that are probable future expenditures as regulatory liabilities in accordance with accounting guidance applicable to regulated operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:28px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG&#8217;s recovery of costs is facilitated through its base rates, BGSS and other regulatory tariff riders. NJNG is required to make an annual filing to the BPU by June 1 of each year for review of its BGSS, CIP and various other programs and related rates. Annual rate changes are requested to be effective at the beginning of the following fiscal year. In addition, NJNG is also permitted to request approval of certain rate or program changes on an interim basis. All rate and program changes are subject to proper notification and BPU review and approval.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Base Rate Case</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">November&#160;13, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG filed a base rate case petition with the BPU, requesting an increase in base rates in the amount of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$147.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which was revised on </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">July&#160;20, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$112.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Overrecovered gas costs represent a regulatory liability that generally occurs when NJNG&#8217;s BGSS rates are higher than actual costs and requests approval to be returned to customers including interest, when applicable, in accordance with NJNG&#8217;s approved BGSS tariff. Conversely, underrecovered gas costs generally occurs during periods when NJNG&#8217;s BGSS rates are lower than actual costs, in which case NJNG records a regulatory asset and requests amounts to be recovered from customers in the future.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:29px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Cost of Removal Obligation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:28px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG accrues and collects for cost of removal in base rates on its utility property, without interest.

In addition, to manage the fluctuations in wholesale natural gas costs, NJNG has the ability to make two interim filings during each fiscal year to increase residential and small commercial customer BGSS rates on a self-implementing and provisional basis. NJNG is also permitted to refund or credit back a portion of the commodity costs to customers when the natural gas commodity costs decrease in comparison to amounts projected or to amounts previously collected from customers. Concurrent with the annual BGSS filing, NJNG files for an annual review of its CIP. In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">May 2014</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved the continuation of the CIP program with no expiration date; however, it will be subject to review in a future rate filing in 2017.

To manage this risk, the Company enters into a variety of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, futures contracts, physical forward contracts, financial options and swaps to economically hedge the commodity price risk associated with its existing and anticipated commitments to purchase and sell natural gas, SRECs and electricity. In addition, the Company may utilize foreign currency derivatives to hedge Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases and/or sales. Therefore, the Company&#8217;s primary underlying risks include commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency. These contracts, with a few exceptions as described below, are accounted for as derivatives. Accordingly, all of the financial and certain of the Company&#8217;s physical derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For a more detailed discussion of the Company&#8217;s fair value measurement policies and level disclosures associated with NJR&#8217;s derivative instruments, see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 5.

For NJRES at settlement, realized gains and (losses) on all financial derivative instruments are recognized as a component of gas purchases and realized gains and (losses) on all physical derivatives follow the presentation of the related unrealized gains and (losses) as a component of either gas purchases or operating revenues.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRES also enters into natural gas transactions in Canada and, consequently, is exposed to fluctuations in the value of Canadian currency relative to the U.S. dollar. NJRES may utilize foreign currency derivatives to lock in the exchange  rate associated with natural gas transactions denominated in Canadian currency. The derivatives may include currency forwards, futures, or swaps and are accounted for as derivatives. These derivatives are typically used to hedge demand fee payments on pipeline capacity, storage and gas purchase agreements. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, NJRES designates its foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges, and the effective portion of the hedges are recorded in OCI. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, the Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency derivatives as accounting hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, are recognized in gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As a result of NJRES entering into transactions to borrow natural gas, commonly referred to as &#8220;park and loans,&#8221; an embedded derivative is recognized relating to differences between the fair value of the amount borrowed and the fair value of the amount that will ultimately be repaid, based on changes in the forward price for natural gas prices at the borrowed location over the contract term. This embedded derivative is accounted for as a forward sale in the month in which the repayment of the borrowed gas is expected to occur, and is considered a derivative transaction that is recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in value recognized in current period earnings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Expected production of SRECs is hedged through the use of forward and futures contracts. All contracts require the Company to physically deliver SRECs through the transfer of certificates as per contractual settlement schedules. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, the Company elected NPNS accounting treatment on SREC forward and futures contracts. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJRES no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on SREC contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, and recognizes changes in the fair value of these derivatives as a component of operating revenues. Upon settlement of the contract, the related revenue is recognized when the SREC is transferred to the counterparty. NPNS is a contract-by-contract election and, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">NJNG</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Changes in fair value of NJNG&#8217;s financial commodity derivatives are recorded as a component of regulatory assets or  liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elects NPNS accounting treatment on all physical commodity contracts that NJNG entered into on or before December 31, 2015, and accounts for these contracts on an accrual basis. Accordingly, physical natural gas purchases are recognized in regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the contract settles and the natural gas is delivered. The average cost of natural gas is amortized in current period earnings based on the current BPU BGSS factor and therm sales. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJNG no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on all of its physical commodity contracts entered into from January 1, 2016. However, since NPNS is a contract-by-contract election, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal. Because NJNG recovers these amounts through future BGSS rates as increases or decreases to the cost of natural gas in NJNG&#8217;s tariff for gas service, the changes in fair value of these contracts are deferred as a component of regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In an April 2014 BPU Order, NJNG received regulatory approval to enter into interest rate risk management transactions related to long-term debt securities. On June 1, 2015, NJNG entered into a treasury lock transaction to fix a benchmark treasury rate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3.26 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> associated with a forecasted </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$125 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> debt issuance expected in May 2018. This forecasted debt issuance coincides with the maturity of NJNG&#8217;s existing </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$125 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">5.6 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> notes due </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">May&#160;15, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The change in fair value of NJNG&#8217;s treasury lock agreement is recorded as a component of regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets since NJNG believes that the market value upon settlement will be recovered in future rates. Upon settlement, any gain or loss will be amortized into earnings over the life of the future underlying debt issuance.</font></div><div

economically hedge the gross margin associated with the purchase of physical gas to be used for storage injection and its subsequent sale at a later date. The gains or (losses) on the financial transactions that are economic hedges of the cost of the purchased gas are recognized prior to the gains or (losses) on the physical transaction, which are recognized in earnings when the natural gas is delivered. Therefore, mismatches between the timing of the recognition of realized gains or (losses) on the financial derivative instruments and gains or (losses) associated with the actual sale of the natural gas that is being economically hedged along with fair value changes in derivative instruments creates volatility in the results of NJRES, although the Company&#8217;s intended economic results relating to the entire transaction are unaffected.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br

As a result of the inherent volatility in the prices of natural gas commodities, derivatives, SRECs, electricity and RECs, the market value of contractual positions with individual counterparties could exceed established credit limits or collateral provided by those counterparties. If a counterparty fails to perform the obligations under its contract (e.g., failed to deliver or pay for natural gas, SRECs, electricity or RECs), then the Company could sustain a loss.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR monitors and manages the credit risk of its wholesale operations through credit policies and procedures that management believes reduce overall credit risk. These policies include a review and evaluation of current and prospective counterparties&#8217; financial statements and/or credit ratings, daily monitoring of counterparties&#8217; credit limits and exposure, daily communication with traders regarding credit status and the use of credit mitigation measures, such as collateral requirements and netting agreements. Examples of collateral include letters of credit and cash received for either prepayment or margin deposit. Collateral may be requested due to NJR&#8217;s election not to extend credit or because exposure exceeds defined thresholds. Most of NJR&#8217;s wholesale marketing contracts contain standard netting provisions. These contracts include those governed by ISDA and the NAESB. The netting provisions refer to payment netting, whereby receivables and payables with the same counterparty are offset and the resulting net amount is paid to the party to which it is due.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Internally-rated exposure applies to counterparties that are not rated by S&amp;P or Moody&#8217;s. In these cases, the counterparty&#8217;s or guarantor&#8217;s financial statements are reviewed, and similar methodologies and ratios used by S&amp;P and/or Moody&#8217;s are applied to arrive at a substitute rating. Gross credit exposure is defined as the unrealized fair value of physical and financial derivative commodity contracts, plus any outstanding wholesale receivable for the value of natural gas delivered and/or financial derivative commodity contract that has settled for which payment has not yet been received.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font

NJRES&#8217; derivative instruments are linked to agreements containing provisions that would require cash collateral payments from the Company if certain events occur. These provisions vary based upon the terms in individual counterparty agreements and can result in cash payments if NJNG&#8217;s credit rating were to fall below its current level. NJNG&#8217;s credit rating, with respect to S&amp;P, reflects the overall corporate credit profile of NJR. Specifically, most, but not all, of these additional payments will be triggered if NJNG&#8217;s debt is downgraded by the major credit agencies, regardless of investment grade status. In addition, some of these agreements include threshold amounts that would result in additional collateral payments if the values of derivative liabilities were to exceed the maximum values provided for in relevant counterparty agreements. Other provisions include payment features that are not specifically linked to ratings, but are based on certain financial metrics.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Collateral amounts associated with any of these conditions are determined based on a sliding scale and are contingent upon the degree to which the Company&#8217;s credit rating and/or financial metrics deteriorate, and the extent to which liability amounts exceed applicable threshold limits. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, is </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$23.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$4.2 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively, for which the Company had not posted collateral. If all thresholds related to the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been invoked on </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company would have been required to post an additional </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$23.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$4.2 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively, to its counterparties. These amounts differ from the respective net derivative liabilities reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets because the agreements also include clauses, commonly known as &#8220;Rights of Offset,&#8221; that would permit the Company to offset its derivative assets against its derivative liabilities for determining additional collateral to be posted, as previously discussed.</font></div></div><span></span>

In addition, authoritative accounting literature prescribes the use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based on the source of the data used to develop the price inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to inputs that are based on unobservable market data and include the following:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:66px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Level 1</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Inputs are verifiable and do not require significant management judgment. For some physical commodity contracts, the Company utilizes transportation tariff rates that are publicly available and that it considers to be observable inputs that are equivalent to market data received from an independent source. There are no significant judgments or adjustments applied to the transportation tariff inputs and no market perspective is required. Even if the transportation tariff input were considered to be a &#8220;model,&#8221; it would still be considered to be a Level 2 input as the data is:</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">widely accepted and public;</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">non-proprietary and sourced from an independent third party; and</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:72px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">observable and published.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:66px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">These additional adjustments are generally not considered to be significant to the ultimate recognized values.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:66px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">Level 3</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">Inputs derived from a significant amount of unobservable market data.

NJR primarily uses the market approach and its policy is to use actively quoted market prices when available. The principal market for its derivative transactions is the natural gas wholesale market, therefore, the primary sources for its price inputs are CME, NYMEX and ICE. NJRES uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, NJRES also engages in transactions that result in transporting natural gas to delivery points for which there is no actively quoted market price. In most instances, the transportation cost to the final delivery location is not significant to the overall valuation. If required, NJRES&#8217; policy is to use the best information available to determine fair value based on internal pricing models, which would include estimates extrapolated from broker quotes or other pricing services.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR also has available for sale securities and other financial assets that include listed equities, mutual funds and money market funds for which there are active exchange quotes available.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">When NJR determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk.

Defined benefit plan benefits are based on years of service and average compensation during the highest </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">60</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> consecutive months of employment.

discount rate at which its obligation could be effectively settled. NJR determines a single weighted average discount rate based on a yield curve comprised of rates of return on a population of high quality debt issuances (AA- or better) whose cash flows (via coupons or maturities) match the timing and amount of its expected future benefit payments. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Company used the same assumed rate to measure the service and interest cost components of its net periodic benefit costs. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company changed its method of measuring its service and interest costs from the aggregate approach to a disaggregated, or spot rate, approach. Under the new approach, NJR applies the duration specific spot rates from the full yield curve, as of the measurement date, to each year&#8217;s future benefit payments. NJR believes that the new method provides for a more precise measurement of its service and interest costs by aligning the timing of the plans&#8217; separate future cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. Accordingly, NJR will account for this change prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font

In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">May 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG&#8217;s September 2014 filing, which requested approval of its MGP expenditures incurred through </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June 2014</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, with recovery of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> annually related to the SBC RA factor with rates effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June&#160;1, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June&#160;29, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG&#8217;s December 2015 filing, which requested approval of its MGP expenditures incurred through </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June&#160;30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, with recovery of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$9.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> annually related to the SBC RA factor with rates effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">July&#160;9, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$19.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of previously incurred remediation costs, net of recoveries from customers and insurance proceeds, are included in regulatory assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG periodically, and at least annually, performs an environmental review of the MGP sites, including a review of potential liability for investigation and remedial action. NJNG estimated at the time of the most recent review that total future expenditures to remediate and monitor the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">five</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> MGP sites for which it is responsible, including potential liabilities for Natural Resource Damages that might be brought by the NJDEP for alleged injury to groundwater or other natural resources concerning these sites, will range from approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$143.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$231.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. NJNG&#8217;s estimate of these liabilities is based upon known facts, existing technology and enacted laws and regulations in place when the review was completed. Where it is probable that costs will be incurred, and the information is sufficient to establish a range of possible liability, NJNG accrues the most likely amount in the range. If no point within the range is more likely than the other, it is NJNG&#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range. Accordingly, as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG recorded an MGP remediation liability and a corresponding regulatory asset of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the most likely amount. The actual costs to be incurred by NJNG are dependent upon several factors, including final determination of remedial action, changing technologies and governmental regulations, the ultimate ability of other responsible parties to pay and any insurance recoveries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG will continue to seek recovery of MGP-related costs through the RA. If any future regulatory position indicates that the recovery of such costs is not probable, the related non-recoverable costs would be charged to income in the period of such determination.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">General</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:6pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On February 24, 2015, a natural gas fire and explosion occurred in Stafford Township, New Jersey as a result of a natural gas leak emanating from an underground pipe. There were no fatalities, although several employees of NJNG were injured and several homes were damaged. NJNG notified its insurance carrier and believes that any costs associated with the incident, including attorneys&#8217; fees, property damage and other losses, will be substantially covered by insurance. The Company believes the resolution of any potential claims associated with the incident will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG estimates that liabilities associated with claims will range between </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$600,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.2 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and has accrued the lower end of the range.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:6pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company is party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the Company&#8217;s opinion, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.</font></div></div><span></span>

Consequently, to reconcile between net income and NFE, current period unrealized gains and losses on the derivatives are excluded from NFE as a reconciling item. Additionally, realized derivative gains and losses are also included in current period net income. However, NFE includes only realized gains and losses related to natural gas sold out of inventory, effectively matching the full earnings effects of the derivatives with realized margins on physical gas flows. NJR also calculates a quarterly tax adjustment based on an estimated annual effective tax rate for NFE purposes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font

NJR&#8217;s unregulated subsidiaries record changes in the fair value of their financial commodity derivatives in gas purchases and changes in the fair value of their physical forward contracts in gas purchases or operating revenues, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. NJRES designated its foreign exchange contracts, entered into prior to January 1, 2016, as cash flow hedges of Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these hedges are recorded to AOCI, a component of stockholders&#8217; equity, and reclassified to gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when they settle. Ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. NJR did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges during </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">fiscal 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Derivatives and Hedging</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> Topic of the ASC also provides for a NPNS scope exception for qualifying physical commodity contracts that are intended for purchases and sales during the normal course of business and for which physical delivery is probable. Effective January 1, 2016, NJR prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case by case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG, forward SREC contracts at NJRCEV and when it does, it does not record changes in the fair value of these contracts until the contract settles and the related underlying natural gas or SREC is delivered. Gains and/or losses on NJNG&#8217;s derivatives used to economically hedge its regulated natural gas supply obligations, as well as its exposure to interest rate variability, are recoverable through its BGSS, a component of its tariff. Accordingly, the offset to the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 4.

NJR&#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at NJRES, and NJNG&#8217;s Treasury Lock are valued using observable, quoted prices for similar or identical assets when available. In establishing the fair value of contracts for which a quoted basis price is not available at the measurement date, management utilizes available market data and pricing models to estimate fair values. Fair values are subject to change in the near term and reflect management&#8217;s best estimate based on a variety of factors. Estimating fair values of instruments that do not have quoted market prices requires management&#8217;s judgment in determining amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received from, or paid to, a third party in settlement of the instruments. These amounts could be materially different from amounts that might be realized in an actual sale transaction.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div></div><div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company is subject to commodity price risk due to fluctuations in the market price of natural gas, SRECs and electricity. To manage this risk, the Company enters into a variety of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, futures contracts, physical forward contracts, financial options and swaps to economically hedge the commodity price risk associated with its existing and anticipated commitments to purchase and sell natural gas, SRECs and electricity. In addition, the Company may utilize foreign currency derivatives to hedge Canadian dollar denominated gas purchases and/or sales. Therefore, the Company&#8217;s primary underlying risks include commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency. These contracts, with a few exceptions as described below, are accounted for as derivatives. Accordingly, all of the financial and certain of the Company&#8217;s physical derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For a more detailed discussion of the Company&#8217;s fair value measurement policies and level disclosures associated with NJR&#8217;s derivative instruments, see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 5.

For NJRES at settlement, realized gains and (losses) on all financial derivative instruments are recognized as a component of gas purchases and realized gains and (losses) on all physical derivatives follow the presentation of the related unrealized gains and (losses) as a component of either gas purchases or operating revenues.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJRES also enters into natural gas transactions in Canada and, consequently, is exposed to fluctuations in the value of Canadian currency relative to the U.S. dollar. NJRES may utilize foreign currency derivatives to lock in the exchange  rate associated with natural gas transactions denominated in Canadian currency. The derivatives may include currency forwards, futures, or swaps and are accounted for as derivatives. These derivatives are typically used to hedge demand fee payments on pipeline capacity, storage and gas purchase agreements. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, NJRES designates its foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges, and the effective portion of the hedges are recorded in OCI. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, the Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency derivatives as accounting hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, are recognized in gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As a result of NJRES entering into transactions to borrow natural gas, commonly referred to as &#8220;park and loans,&#8221; an embedded derivative is recognized relating to differences between the fair value of the amount borrowed and the fair value of the amount that will ultimately be repaid, based on changes in the forward price for natural gas prices at the borrowed location over the contract term. This embedded derivative is accounted for as a forward sale in the month in which the repayment of the borrowed gas is expected to occur, and is considered a derivative transaction that is recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in value recognized in current period earnings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Expected production of SRECs is hedged through the use of forward and futures contracts. All contracts require the Company to physically deliver SRECs through the transfer of certificates as per contractual settlement schedules. For transactions occurring on or before December 31, 2015, the Company elected NPNS accounting treatment on SREC forward and futures contracts. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJRES no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on SREC contracts entered into from January 1, 2016, and recognizes changes in the fair value of these derivatives as a component of operating revenues. Upon settlement of the contract, the related revenue is recognized when the SREC is transferred to the counterparty. NPNS is a contract-by-contract election and, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">NJNG</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Changes in fair value of NJNG&#8217;s financial commodity derivatives are recorded as a component of regulatory assets or  liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elects NPNS accounting treatment on all physical commodity contracts that NJNG entered into on or before December 31, 2015, and accounts for these contracts on an accrual basis. Accordingly, physical natural gas purchases are recognized in regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the contract settles and the natural gas is delivered. The average cost of natural gas is amortized in current period earnings based on the current BPU BGSS factor and therm sales. Effective January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, NJNG no longer elects NPNS accounting treatment on all of its physical commodity contracts entered into from January 1, 2016. However, since NPNS is a contract-by-contract election, where it makes sense to do so, we can and may elect certain contracts to be normal. Because NJNG recovers these amounts through future BGSS rates as increases or decreases to the cost of natural gas in NJNG&#8217;s tariff for gas service, the changes in fair value of these contracts are deferred as a component of regulatory assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</font></div></div><span></span>

</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Compensation - Stock Compensation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures. The new guidance also increased the threshold for tax withholding to the maximum statutory rate, as applicable, to maintain equity classification and amended the classification of certain tax transactions within the statement of cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:29px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company elected to early adopt the amended guidance during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and applied the new provisions as of the beginning of the year of adoption on a retrospective or prospective basis depending on each amendment&#8217;s transition requirements. As such, effective October 1, 2015, NJR is recognizing forfeitures as they occur and is recognizing excess tax benefits (deficiencies) as a component of income tax (benefit) provision in its Consolidated Statements of Operations on a prospective basis. Accordingly, upon adoption, the Company recognized </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in excess tax benefits

The new guidance will become effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 606, however, based on the review of customer contracts to date, it is not anticipating a material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

The standard affects investments in equity securities that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value by requiring a qualitative assessment. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendments will be applied on a modified-retrospective basis. The Company has evaluated the amendments and noted that, upon adoption, subsequent changes to the fair value of the Company&#8217;s available for sale securities will be recorded in the statement of operations as opposed to other comprehensive income.

The new model requires recognition based upon an estimation of expected credit losses rather than recognition of losses when it is probable that they have been incurred. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted.

On a monthly basis, NJR evaluates its estimates, including those related to the calculation of the fair value of derivative instruments, debt, unbilled revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, provisions for depreciation and amortization, regulatory assets and liabilities, income taxes, pensions and other postemployment benefits, contingencies related to environmental matters and litigation. AROs are evaluated as often as needed. NJR&#8217;s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR has legal, regulatory and environmental proceedings during the normal course of business that can result in loss contingencies. When evaluating the potential for a loss, NJR will establish a reserve if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, in which case it is NJR&#8217;s policy to accrue the full amount of such estimates. Where the information is sufficient only to establish a range of probable liability, and no point within the range is more likely than any other, it is NJR&#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range. In the normal course of business, estimated amounts are subsequently adjusted to actual results that may differ from estimates.</font></div></div><span></span>

In addition, authoritative accounting literature prescribes the use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based on the source of the data used to develop the price inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to inputs that are based on unobservable market data and include the following:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:66px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:0px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Level 1</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;">Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Inputs are verifiable and do not require significant management judgment. For some physical commodity contracts, the Company utilizes transportation tariff rates that are publicly available and that it considers to be observable inputs that are equivalent to market data received from an independent source. There are no significant judgments or adjustments applied to the transportation tariff inputs and no market perspective is required.

NJR primarily uses the market approach and its policy is to use actively quoted market prices when available. The principal market for its derivative transactions is the natural gas wholesale market, therefore, the primary sources for its price inputs are CME, NYMEX and ICE. NJRES uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, NJRES also engages in transactions that result in transporting natural gas to delivery points for which there is no actively quoted market price. In most instances, the transportation cost to the final delivery location is not significant to the overall valuation. If required, NJRES&#8217; policy is to use the best information available to determine fair value based on internal pricing models, which would include estimates extrapolated from broker quotes or other pricing services.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJR also has available for sale securities and other financial assets that include listed equities, mutual funds and money market funds for which there are active exchange quotes available.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">When NJR determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk. NJR determines these adjustments by using historical default probabilities that correspond to the applicable S&amp;P issuer ratings, while also taking into consideration collateral and netting arrangements that serve to mitigate risk.</font></div></div><span></span>

Other than temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis for debt securities categorized as Available-for-sale that an entity does not intend to sell and for which it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis are bifurcated into credit losses and losses related to all other factors.

Such costs are capitalized if they meet both of the following criteria: a. It is probable that future revenue in an amount at least equal to the capitalized cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. b. Based on available evidence, the future revenue will be provided to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost rather than to provide for expected levels of similar future costs. If the revenue will be provided through an automatic rate-adjustment clause, this criterion requires that the regulator's intent clearly be to permit recovery of the previously incurred cost.</p></div>
