NFE is a measure of the earnings based on eliminating timing differences surrounding the recognition of certain gains or losses to effectively match the earnings effects of the economic hedges with the physical sale of gas and, therefore, eliminates the impact of volatility to GAAP earnings associated with the derivative instruments.

NJNG&#8217;s service territory includes New Jersey&#8217;s Monmouth and Ocean counties and parts of Burlington, Morris and Middlesex counties. It encompasses </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1,516</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;square miles, covering </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">105</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;municipalities with an estimated population of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;people. It is primarily suburban, highlighted by approximately 100 miles of New Jersey coastline. It is in close proximity to New York City, Philadelphia and the metropolitan areas of northern New Jersey and is accessible through a network of major roadways and mass transportation.</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 with consultants and the NJDEP to manage expectations related to its obligations associated with its former MGP sites.</font></div><div

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><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;">7</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.

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 May 2014, the BPU approved the continuation of the CIP program with no expiration date.</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;">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.</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: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. Decreases in the BGSS rate and BGSS refunds can be implemented with five days&#8217; notice to the BPU. Rate changes, as well as other regulatory actions related to BGSS, are discussed further in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 4.

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. Natural gas prices are a function of market supply and demand. Although NJNG believes natural gas will remain competitive with alternate fuels, no assurance can be given in this regard.</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 BPU, within the framework of the EDECA, fully opened NJNG&#8217;s residential markets to competition, including third-party suppliers, and restructured rates to segregate its BGSS and delivery (i.e., transportation) prices.

As part of its solar investment program, Clean Energy Ventures operates a residential lease program, The Sunlight Advantage&#174;, which provides qualifying homeowners with the opportunity to have a solar system installed at their home with no installation or maintenance expenses. Clean Energy Ventures owns, operates and maintains the system over the life of the lease in exchange for monthly lease payments. In addition, certain qualified non-profit institutions are served under PPAs. The program is operated by Clean Energy Ventures using qualified contracting partners in addition to strategic suppliers for material standardization and sourcing.

These assets become more valuable when favorable price changes occur that impact the value between or within market areas and across time periods. On a forward basis, Energy Services may hedge these price differentials through the use of financial instruments. In addition, Energy Services may seek to optimize these assets on a daily basis, as market conditions warrant, by evaluating natural gas supply and transportation availability within its portfolio. This enables Energy Services to capture geographic pricing differences across various regions as delivered natural gas prices may change favorably as a result of market conditions. Energy Services 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:7pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:7pt;"><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;">Energy Services also engages in park-and-loan transactions with storage and pipeline operators, where Energy Services 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, Energy Services evaluates the economics of the transaction to determine if it can capture pricing differentials in the marketplace and generate financial margin.

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, Energy Services 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:7pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:7pt;"><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:6pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"><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;">Energy Services&#8217; activities are also subject to 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 Energy Services&#8217; financial margin, described below, that is generated from the optimization of transportation and storage assets. With its focus on risk management, Energy Services continues to diversify its revenue stream by identifying new growth opportunities in producer and asset management services. Energy Services 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;">44.6</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;Bcf of firm storage and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1.1</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. Energy Services views &#8220;financial margin&#8221; as a key internal financial metric. Energy Services&#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 excluding 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 MGP sites for which it is responsible will range from approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$117.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$205.2 million</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></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 </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">fiscal 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. 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, 2017</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;">$149 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. NJNG currently recovers approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$9.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;annually through its SBC RAC. NJNG will continue to seek recovery of these costs through its remediation rider. On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">November&#160;17, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG filed it's annual SBC application requesting a reduction in the RAC, which will decrease the annual recovery to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">April&#160;1, 2018</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;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">EMPLOYEE RELATIONS</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;">As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company and its subsidiaries employed </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1,052</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;employees compared with </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1,034</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;employees as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

The labor agreements cover wage increases and other benefits, including the defined benefit pension (which was closed to all employees hired on or after January 1, 2012, with the exception of certain rehires who are eligible to resume active participation), the postemployment benefit plan (which was closed to all employees hired on or after January 1, 2012) and the enhanced 401(k) retirement savings plan.

The potential return on investment of these solar projects is based substantially on our eligibility for ITCs and the future market for SRECs that are traded in a competitive marketplace in the State of New Jersey. As a result, these projects face the risk that the current regulatory regimes and tax laws may expire or be adversely modified during the life of the projects. Furthermore, a sustained decrease in the value of SRECs would negatively impact the return on investment of solar projects. Legislative changes or declines in the price of SRECs could also lead to an impairment of solar project assets. The market for such projects is also limited, which creates competition for customers and higher investment costs and could potentially result in lost investment opportunities.</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;">14</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 1A.

As part of the acquisition we expect to convert the remaining sections of the southern mainline of the pipeline utilized to transport oil to transport natural gas. The completion of the acquisition is subject to various closing conditions, including, but not limited to, receipt of necessary permits and regulatory actions, such as those from the FERC and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, and other pending regulatory determinations, such as compliance with anti-trust laws. There can be no assurance that we will receive the necessary approvals for the transaction or receive them within the expected timeframe. The announcement and pendency of the IEC acquisition, as well as any delays in the expected timeframe, could cause disruption and create uncertainties, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, regardless of whether the acquisition is completed. </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;">Furthermore, the integration of any acquisition requires significant time and resources, which could result in significant ongoing operating expenses and may divert resources and management attention from other areas of our business.

NJNG actively hedges against the fluctuation in the price of natural gas by entering into forward and financial contracts with third parties. Should these third parties fail to perform and regulators not allow the pass-through of expended funds to customers, it may result in a loss that could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.</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;">15</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 1A.

The creation of a regulatory asset allows for the deferral of costs, which, absent a mechanism to recover such costs from customers in rates approved by the BPU, would be charged to expense on its income statement in the period incurred. Primary regulatory assets that are subject to BPU approval include the recovery of BGSS and USF costs, remediation costs associated with NJNG's MGP sites, CIP, NJCEP, economic stimulus plans, certain deferred income tax and pension and other postemployment benefit plans.

Factors beyond the control of NJNG, its suppliers and the independent suppliers that 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. Energy Services 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 Energy Services 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. Particularly for Energy Services, these conditions could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.</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;">Risks related to the regulation of NJNG could affect the rates it is able to charge, its costs and its profitability.</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 is subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities.

The timing of the recognition of gains or losses associated with our economic hedges in accordance with GAAP does not always coincide with the gains or losses on the items being hedged. The difference in accounting can result in volatility in reported results, even though the expected profit margin is essentially unchanged from the dates the transactions were consummated.</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, Energy Services could recognize financial losses on these contracts as a result of volatility in the market values of the underlying commodities or if a counterparty fails to perform under a contract. In the absence of actively quoted market prices and pricing information from external sources, the valuation of these financial instruments can involve management&#8217;s judgment or use of estimates. As a result, changes in the underlying assumptions or use of alternative valuation methods could adversely affect the value of the reported fair value of these contracts.</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;">Energy Services' earnings and cash flows are dependent upon optimization of its physical assets.</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;">Energy Services' earnings and cash flows are based, in part, on its ability to optimize its portfolio of contractual-based natural gas storage and pipeline assets. 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 Energy Services' market areas, including as a result of increased production along the Marcellus Shale, can reduce Energy Services' ability to take advantage of pricing fluctuations in the future. Changes in pricing dynamics and supply could have an adverse impact on Energy Services' optimization activities, earnings and cash flows. Energy Services 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 Energy Services is not able to recoup these costs from its customers, the cash flows and earnings at Energy Services, and ultimately the Company, 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;">&#32;A valuation allowance may be required for our deferred tax assets.</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 valuation allowance may need to be recorded against our net deferred tax assets, which are predominantly related to net operating losses, based on available evidence, including cumulative and forecasted taxable income at the time the estimate is made. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets can be affected by changes to tax laws, statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event that we determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts accordingly through a charge to income tax expense in the period in which that determination was made, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results 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:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Changes in tax laws or regulations may negatively affect our results of operations, net income, financial condition and cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;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 are subject to taxation by various taxing authorities at the federal, state and local levels.

During periods of milder temperatures, demand and volatility in the natural gas market may decrease, which can negatively impact Energy Services' earnings and cash flows.</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;">Failure by NJR and/or NJNG to comply with debt covenants may impact our financial condition.</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 long-term debt obligations contain financial covenants related to debt-to-capital ratios and, in the case of NJNG, an interest coverage ratio. 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. The acceleration of our outstanding debt obligations and our inability to borrow under the existing revolving credit facilities would cause a material adverse change in NJR&#8217;s and NJNG&#8217;s financial condition.</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;">Changes in customer growth may affect earnings and cash flows.</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 ability to increase its utility firm gross margin is dependent upon the new construction housing market, as well as the conversion of customers to natural gas from other fuel sources. During periods of extended economic downturns, prolonged weakness in housing markets or slowdowns in the conversion market, there could be an adverse impact on NJNG&#8217;s utility firm gross margin, earnings and cash flows. Furthermore, while our estimate regarding customer growth is based in part upon information from third parties, the estimate has not been verified by an 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;">We may be adversely impacted by natural disasters, pandemic illness, terrorist activities and other extreme events to which we may be unable to promptly respond.</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;">Local or national natural disasters, pandemic illness, terrorist activities and other extreme events are a threat to our assets and operations. Companies in our industry that are located in our service territory may face a heightened risk due to exposure to acts of terrorism that could target or impact our natural gas distribution, transmission and storage facilities and disrupt our operations and ability to meet customer requirements. In addition, the threat of terrorist activities could lead to increased economic instability and volatility in the price of natural gas that could affect our operations. Natural disasters or actual or threatened terrorist activities may also disrupt capital markets and our ability to raise capital, or may impact our suppliers or our customers directly. A local disaster or pandemic illness could result in part of our workforce being unable to operate or maintain our infrastructure or perform other tasks necessary to conduct our business. In addition, these risks could result in loss of human life, significant damage to property, environmental damage, impairment of our operations and substantial loss to the Company. Our regulators may not allow us to recover from our customers part or all of the increased cost related to the foregoing events, which could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.</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 maintain emergency planning and training programs to readily respond to events that could cause business interruption. However, a slow or inadequate response to events may have an adverse impact on operations and earnings.

Failure to hire and adequately train replacement employees, including the transfer of significant internal historical knowledge and expertise to the new employees, or the future availability and cost of contract labor could adversely affect the ability to manage and operate our business. Furthermore, the majority of our natural gas distribution segment workforce is represented by the Union and is covered by a collective bargaining agreement that will expire in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Disputes with the Union over terms and conditions of the agreement could result in instability in our labor relationship and work stoppages that could impact the timely delivery of gas and other services from our utility, which could strain relationships with customers and state regulators and cause a loss of revenues that could adversely affect our results of operations. Our collective bargaining agreement may also increase the cost of employing our natural gas distribution segment workforce, affect our ability to continue offering market-based salaries and employee benefits, limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce, and limit our ability to change work rules and practices and implement other efficiency-related improvements to successfully compete in today&#8217;s challenging marketplace.</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: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: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;">We have utilized joint ventures through partnerships for certain midstream investments, including Steckman Ridge and PennEast, and we own a minority interest in DM, an MLP, through our investment in DM Common Units.

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.

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: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;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: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 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.

NJNG is currently involved in administrative proceedings with the NJDEP, and is participating in various studies and investigations by outside consultants to determine the nature and extent of any such contaminated residues and to develop appropriate programs of remedial action, where warranted, under Administrative Consent Orders or a Memoranda of Agreement with the NJDEP.</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 may recover its remediation expenditures, including carrying costs, over rolling seven-year periods pursuant to a RAC approved by the BPU.

On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">November&#160;17, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, NJNG filed it's annual SBC application requesting a reduction in the RAC, which will decrease the annual recovery to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">April&#160;1, 2018</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. As of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$28.5 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: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 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 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;">$117.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$205.2 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, 2017</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;">$149 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the most likely amount. This was reduced from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in fiscal 2016, due to the completion of remediation work at certain sites and a reduction to the remediation scope at another site. 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 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;font-weight:bold;">Litigation</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 are involved, and from time to time in the future may be involved, in a number of pending and threatened judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings relating to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of its business, certain of which litigation matters are described in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 14.

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. Specifically, NJNG records assets when it is probable that certain operating costs will be recoverable from customers in future periods and records liabilities associated with probable future obligations to customers.</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&#8217;s BGSS requires it to project its annual natural gas costs and provides the ability, subject to BPU approval, to recover or refund the difference, if any, of such actual costs compared with the projected costs included in prices through a BGSS charge to customers. 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. In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved an 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 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 Energy Services&#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 are recognized in gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.</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.

We apply a discount to our derivative assets to factor in an adjustment associated with the credit risk of its physical natural gas counterparties and to our derivative liabilities to factor in an adjustment associated with its own credit risk. We determine this amount by using historical default probabilities corresponding to the appropriate S&amp;P issuer ratings. Since the majority of our 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.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date and associated transactions costs are expensed as incurred.</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 determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as other assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates based on the risk inherent in the acquired assets and related cash flows. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets acquired,  forecasted life cycles and expected cash flows over that period. Our valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that we believe are reasonable, however a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

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 that some or all of the deferred income tax assets won&#8217;t be realized. We had net deferred tax liabilities of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$506.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$464.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and a valuation allowance of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$262,000</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, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively. Any significant changes to the estimates and judgments with respect to the interpretations, timing or deductibility could result in a material change to earnings and cash flows.

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.

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, 2017</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;">$117.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$205.2 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;">$149 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which is based on the most likely amount. This was reduced from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in fiscal 2016, due to the completion of remediation work at certain sites and a reduction to the remediation scope of work at another site.</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, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$28.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </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 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;">Our 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 us.</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;">31</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.

October 1, 2016, we changed our 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, we determine our 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. Refer to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 11.

We also recognize AROs associated with Clean Energy Ventures&#8217; solar and wind assets when there are decommissioning provisions in lease agreements that require removal of the asset at the end of the lease term.</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;">AROs are initially recognized when the legal obligation to retire an asset has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. 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 Clean Energy Ventures&#8217; ARO is recognized as a component of operations and maintenance expense on our 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><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;">32</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.

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.

Energy Services economically hedges its natural gas inventory with financial derivative instruments. NFE is a measure of the earnings based on eliminating timing differences surrounding the recognition of certain gains or losses, to effectively match the earnings effects of the economic hedges with the physical sale of gas and, therefore, eliminates the impact of volatility to GAAP earnings associated with the derivative instruments. To the extent we utilize forwards, futures, or other derivatives to hedge forecasted SREC production, unrealized gains and losses are also eliminated for NFE purposes.</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;">34</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.

Specifically, customer demand substantially increases during the winter months when natural gas is used for heating purposes. As a result, NJNG receives most of its natural gas distribution revenues during the first and second fiscal quarters and is subject to variations in earnings and working capital during the year.</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;">As a regulated company, NJNG is required to recognize the impact of regulatory decisions on its financial statements.

NJNG's estimates are 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;">60 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;">40 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;">$5.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;annually, as calculated under NJNG&#8217;s CIP tariff.

In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">October 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG&#8217;s filing to maintain the existing SAVEGREEN recovery rate. On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">October&#160;20, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG's filing to decrease its EE recovery rate, which would result in an annual decrease of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">November&#160;1, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

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. Refer to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 4.

There is no utility gross margin associated with BGSS costs; therefore, changes in such costs do not impact NJNG&#8217;s earnings. 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. BGSS rates for its large commercial customers are adjusted monthly based on NYMEX prices.</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;">On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;22, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU provisionally approved NJNG's petition to maintain its BGSS rate for residential and small commercial customers, and increase its balancing charge rate, which will result in a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;increase to the annual revenues credited to BGSS, effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">October 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

These programs are designed to encourage better utilization and hedging of NJNG's natural gas supply, transportation and storage assets. Depending on the program, NJNG shares 80 or 85 percent of utility gross margin generated by these programs with firm customers. Should performance of the existing incentives or market conditions warrant, NJNG is permitted to propose a process to re-evaluate and discuss alternative incentive programs annually. Utility gross margin from incentive programs was </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$13.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$15 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$17.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;during the fiscal years ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">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.

This is accomplished with the use of various financial instruments including futures, swaps and options used in conjunction with commodity and/or weather-related hedging activity.</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;">Due to the capital-intensive nature of NJNG&#8217;s operations and the seasonal nature of its working capital requirements, significant changes in interest rates can impact NJNG&#8217;s results. 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. Upon settlement, any gain or loss will be amortized in earnings over the life of the future debt issuance.</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;">A more detailed discussion of NJNG&#8217;s debt can be found in the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Liquidity and Capital Resources</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Cash Flow</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;sections of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Item 7.

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;">$149 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, 2017</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;">$23 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><a

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.

Energy Services 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 allows Energy Services 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;">Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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;text-indent:30px;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;">On </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">July&#160;27, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we acquired certain retail and wholesale natural gas energy contract assets from Talen. The acquisition included sales agreements with large commercial and industrial retail customers in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, pipeline and storage capacity agreements on various pipelines and various wholesale transportation contracts.</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;">Energy Services 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 or gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Volatility in reported net income at Energy Services 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. 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 from storage and sold, at which time Energy Services 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;">51</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 Energy Services&#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 Energy Services&#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, Energy Services&#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:6pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"><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 Energy Services 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

Energy Services&#8217; use of high volume storage facilities and anticipated pipeline park-and-loan arrangements, combined with related economic hedging activities in the volatile wholesale natural gas market, create significant short-term cash requirements.</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;">NJNG satisfies its debt needs by issuing short- and long-term debt based on its financial profile. The seasonal nature of NJNG&#8217;s operations creates large short-term cash requirements, primarily to finance natural gas purchases and customer accounts receivable. NJNG obtains working capital for these requirements and for the temporary financing of construction and MGP remediation expenditures and energy tax payments, based on its financial profile, through the issuance of commercial paper supported by the NJNG Credit Facility or through short-term bank loans under the NJNG Credit Facility.</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;">57</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.

We do 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, we may elect to make discretionary contributions to the plans in excess of the minimum required amount. We made no discretionary contributions to the pension plans in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">fiscal 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. There are no Federal requirements to pre-fund OPEB benefits. However, we are required to fund certain amounts due to regulatory agreements with the BPU.

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 reporting segments. 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. Energy Services 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 Energy Services&#8217; and NJNG&#8217;s positions. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, certain Energy Services 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 Company&#8217;s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management&#8217;s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

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.

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.

On a monthly basis, the Company 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. The Company&#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%;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;">79</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.

When evaluating the potential for a loss, the Company will establish a reserve if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, in which case it is the Company&#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 the Company&#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 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;">Business Combinations</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 Company accounts for business combinations by applying the acquisition method of accounting.

The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as other assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates based on the risk inherent in the acquired assets and related cash flows.  Our valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. However, a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The Company&#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. Energy Services 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. The Company did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges during </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">fiscal 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</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;">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;">&#32;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, the Company prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case-by-case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG and forward SREC contracts at Clean Energy Ventures. When applied, 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: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;">See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 5.

The Company&#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at Energy Services 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%;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;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: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;">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: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;">81</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.

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 recognizes unbilled revenues related to these amounts.

As part of computing its BGSS rate, NJNG projects its cost of natural gas, net of supplier refunds, the impact of hedging activities and cost savings created by BGSS incentive programs. 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%;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;">Gas purchases at Energy Services are comprised of gas costs to be paid upon completion of a variety of transactions, as well as realized gains and losses from settled derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on the change in fair value of derivative instruments that have not yet settled.

ITCs at NJR&#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.

If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized by reducing the recorded value of the asset to its fair value.

In periods subsequent to the initial measurement, the Company 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><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;">85</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.

The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a prospective basis.

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 amendment will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company evaluated the amendment 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 Consolidated 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. The Company is currently evaluating the amendment 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%;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;text-decoration:underline;">Leases</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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.

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. The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 842 and is actively monitoring industry specific developments including the exposure draft issued by the FASB that would introduce a land easement practical expedient to ASC 842.

The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted.

Identifiable assets were recorded at their estimated fair value as determined by management and were based upon significant estimates and assumptions that are judgmental in nature, including the projected amount and timing of future cash flows, a discount rate reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows and future natural gas prices. During fiscal 2017, the Company incurred approximately&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$300,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;in acquisition related transaction costs, which are recorded in operations and maintenance expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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 useful lives of the acquired assets are based upon the terms of the contractual arrangements.

Accordingly, the acquisition date fair value of the retail contracts is presented within the Derivatives, at fair value line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is relieved in subsequent periods as the underlying physical forward contracts settle.

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.

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><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;">90</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.

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 implemented 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: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 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:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><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 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 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:left;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;">In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG's base rate case, effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">October 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which included an increase in base 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;">.

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 occur 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 at any time given five days notice 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. NJNG&#8217;s annual BGSS and CIP filings are summarized as follows:</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:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:30px;"><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;">June 2015 BGSS/CIP filing </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&#8212;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">February 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG&#8217;s proposal to continue its existing BGSS rate and to increase its CIP rates resulting in a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;annual recovery increase, effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">October 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

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 the Company&#8217;s derivative instruments, see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 6.

For Energy Services 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;">Energy Services 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. Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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 Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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><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;">96</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.

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: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;">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;">&#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. 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 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

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 Energy Services, although the Company&#8217;s intended economic

As a result, the Company is now required to present variation margin net with the related derivative assets and/or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for any derivatives the Company clears through the CME. This change is being applied on a prospective basis. In September 30, 2016, prior to the rule change, the Company reported the variation margin as a separate unit of account within restricted broker margin on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no impact to the Company&#8217;s derivative gains or losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the CME rule amendment.</font></div><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:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Wholesale Credit 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:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">NJNG, Energy Services and Clean Energy Ventures are exposed to credit risk as a result of their sales/wholesale and retail marketing activities. 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., fails to deliver or pay for natural gas, SRECs, electricity or RECs), 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;">The Company 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 the Company&#8217;s election not to extend credit or because exposure exceeds defined thresholds. Most of the Company&#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><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;">100</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.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Conversely, certain of NJNG&#8217;s and Energy Services&#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 the Company. 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;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;">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.

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 style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="s0B65BFBF7AD207842B54E1E5BA1DFE23"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">6.

NJNG&#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 &#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></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.

The Company 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. Energy Services uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, Energy Services 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, Energy Services&#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;">The Company 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><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;">102</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.

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.</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&#8217;s Mortgage Indenture no longer contains a restriction on NJNG's ability to pay dividends.

aggregate discount rate at which its obligation could be effectively settled. The Company 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, the Company applies the duration specific spot rates from the full yield curve, as of the measurement date, to each year&#8217;s future benefit payments. The Company 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, the Company accounted for this change prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font

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;">$117.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$205.2 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, 2017</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;">$149 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the most likely amount. This was reduced from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in fiscal 2016, due to the completion of remediation work at some of sites and a reduction to the remediation scope at another site. 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 RAC. 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;">Litigation</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;">The Company is involved, and from time to time in the future may be involved, in a number of pending and threatened judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings relating to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of its business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation matters, particularly when such matters are in their early stages or where the claimants seek indeterminate damages, the Company cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of the pending litigation will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter will be, if any. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, NJR establishes reserves for litigation for those matters that present loss contingencies as to which it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Based upon currently available information, NJR believes that the results of litigation that is currently pending, taken together, will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company&#8217;s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The actual results of resolving the pending litigation matters may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved.  </font></div><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;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The foregoing statements about NJR&#8217;s litigation are based upon the Company&#8217;s judgments, assumptions and estimates and are necessarily subjective and uncertain.

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, 2017</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:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="sB23D5858DF422F64E448E1E5C488DDBC"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">15.

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. The Company 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:left;font-size:8pt;"><font

Accordingly, the Company 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. The Company also recognizes AROs related to Clean Energy Ventures&amp;#8217; solar and wind assets when there are decommissioning provisions in Clean Energy Ventures&amp;#8217; 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 is recognized as part of its depreciation expense and the corresponding regulatory asset and liability will be shown gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal 2016, accretion amounts were not reflected as an expense, but rather were deferred as a regulatory asset and netted against NJNG&amp;#8217;s regulatory liabilities, for presentation purposes, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accretion amounts associated with Clean Energy Ventures&amp;#8217; ARO are recognized as a component of operations and maintenance expense on the Consolidated Statements of

Concurrently, the Company also capitalizes an asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related asset by the same amount as the liability.

The  acquisition date fair value of the wholesale contracts is presented as an intangible asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and is amortized based upon the pattern of expected future cash flows. The related amortization expense totaled &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$762,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; during fiscal 2017, and is included in gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The acquired retail contracts consist of natural gas physical forward sales agreements and therefore are subsequently measured and accounted for in accordance with ASC 815, &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;.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date and associated transactions costs are expensed as incurred.&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 determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as other assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates based on the risk inherent in the acquired assets and related cash flows.  Our valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. However, a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:BusinessCombinationsPolicy>

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;$117.6 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;$205.2 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, 2017&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;$149 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. This was reduced from &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; in fiscal 2016, due to the completion of remediation work at some of sites and a reduction to the remediation scope at another site. 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: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 will continue to seek recovery of MGP-related costs through the RAC. 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;Litigation&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;The Company is involved, and from time to time in the future may be involved, in a number of pending and threatened judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings relating to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of its business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation matters, particularly when such matters are in their early stages or where the claimants seek indeterminate damages, the Company cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of the pending litigation will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter will be, if any. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, NJR establishes reserves for litigation for those matters that present loss contingencies as to which it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Based upon currently available information, NJR believes that the results of litigation that is currently pending, taken together, will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The actual results of resolving the pending litigation matters may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved.  &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;The foregoing statements about NJR&amp;#8217;s litigation are based upon the Company&amp;#8217;s judgments, assumptions and estimates and are necessarily subjective and uncertain. The Company has a number of threatened and pending litigation matters at various stages. Certain of the Company&amp;#8217;s significant litigation is described below.&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;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, 2017&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&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

Based on those evaluations, NJR has determined that it does not have any investments in variable interest entities as of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2017&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;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:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Investments in entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest are either accounted for under the equity method or cost method of accounting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:ConsolidationPolicyTextBlock>

As part of computing its BGSS rate, NJNG projects its cost of natural gas, net of supplier refunds, the impact of hedging activities and cost savings created by BGSS incentive programs. 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%;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;Gas purchases at Energy Services are comprised of gas costs to be paid upon completion of a variety of transactions, as well as realized gains and losses from settled derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on the change in fair value of derivative instruments that have not yet settled. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that economically hedge the forecasted purchases of natural gas are recognized in gas purchases as they occur.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CostOfSalesPolicyTextBlock>

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: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;NJNG&amp;#8217;s Mortgage Indenture no longer contains a restriction on NJNG's ability to pay dividends. New Jersey Administrative Code 14:4-4.7 states that a public utility cannot issue dividends, without regulatory approval, 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;. As of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, NJNG&amp;#8217;s equity to total capitalization ratio is &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;55.6 percent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and  has the ability to issue up to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$960 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of FMB under the terms of the Mortgage Indenture.&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;NJNG has variable rate EDA Bonds with a total principal amount of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$97 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and maturity dates ranging from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September 2027&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;August 2041&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The EDA Bonds are not subject to optional tender while they bear interest at a LIBOR index rate.

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 the Company&amp;#8217;s derivative instruments, see &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Note 6. Fair Value&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:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Energy 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;Energy Services chooses not to designate its financial commodity and physical forward commodity derivatives as accounting hedges or to elect NPNS, and therefore changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded as a component of gas purchases or operating revenues, as appropriate for Energy Services, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or (losses). For Energy Services 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;Energy Services 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. Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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 Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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;Natural Gas Distribution&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;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: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 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

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 Energy Services, although the Company&amp;#8217;s intended economic

As a result, the Company is now required to present variation margin net with the related derivative assets and/or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for any derivatives the Company clears through the CME. This change is being applied on a prospective basis. In September 30, 2016, prior to the rule change, the Company reported the variation margin as a separate unit of account within restricted broker margin on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no impact to the Company&amp;#8217;s derivative gains or losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the CME rule amendment.&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:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Wholesale Credit 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 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, Energy Services and Clean Energy Ventures are exposed to credit risk as a result of their sales/wholesale and retail marketing activities. 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., fails to deliver or pay for natural gas, SRECs, electricity or RECs), 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;The Company 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 the Company&amp;#8217;s election not to extend credit or because exposure exceeds defined thresholds. Most of the Company&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 Energy Services&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 the Company. 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;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;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, 2017&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;2016&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;$8.7 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;$23.1 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, 2017&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;2016&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;$8.6 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;$23.1 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>

The Company&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. Energy Services 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. The Company did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges 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;2017&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;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, the Company prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case-by-case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG and forward SREC contracts at Clean Energy Ventures. When applied, 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: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 5. 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;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;Fair values of exchange-traded instruments, including futures, swaps, and certain options, are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets. The Company&amp;#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at Energy Services 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&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 the Company&amp;#8217;s derivative instruments, see &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Note 6.

For Energy Services 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;Energy Services 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. Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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 Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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;Natural Gas Distribution&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;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. &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;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 includes 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. The Company&amp;#8217;s Level 1 assets and liabilities include exchange traded natural gas futures and options contracts, listed equities and money market funds. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Exchange traded futures and options contracts include all energy contracts traded on the NYMEX, CME and ICE that the Company refers internally to as basis swaps, fixed swaps, futures and financial options that are cleared through a FCM.&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: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 2&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;Other significant observable inputs, such as interest rates or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;price data, including both commodity and basis pricing that is observed either directly or indirectly from publications or pricing services. The Company&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 the Company&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;Financial derivative portfolios of NJNG and Energy Services consist mainly of futures, options and swaps. The Company 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. Energy Services uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, Energy Services 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, Energy Services&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;The Company 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 the Company determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk. The Company 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

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. &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;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 includes 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.

The Company&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.

The Company 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. Energy Services uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, Energy Services 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, Energy Services&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;The Company 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 the Company determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk.

The credit will decline to 26 percent for property under construction during 2020, and to 22 percent for property under construction during 2021. For any property that is under construction before 2022, but not placed in service before 2024, the ITC will be reduced to 10 percent. In addition, the Consolidated Appropriations Act retroactively extended the PTC for five years through December 31, 2019, with a gradual three-year phase out for any project for which construction of the facility begins after December 31, 2016.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxDisclosureTextBlock>

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>

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 amendment provides 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 Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and applied the new provisions on a prospective basis, which did 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%;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;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Other Recent Updates to the Accounting Standards Codification&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Revenue&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 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 not be early adopted and will be 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. The Company anticipates significant new disclosures as a result of the new standard and expects to transition to the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach. The Company is also monitoring industry specific developments that may have an impact on its financial position, results of operation and cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;Inventory&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 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 amendment will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect any 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: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;Financial Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 amendment will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company evaluated the amendment 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 Consolidated 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%;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 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 amendment 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%;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;Leases&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 842 and is actively monitoring industry specific developments including the exposure draft issued by the FASB that would introduce a land easement practical expedient to ASC 842. At this time the Company does not plan to early adopt the new guidance and expects to elect the practical expedient package in the new guidance during transition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;Statement of Cash Flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, an amendment to ASC 230, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, 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 amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect any material impacts to its cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, an amendment to ASC 230, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which requires that any amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash or restricted cash-equivalents be included in cash and cash-equivalent balances on the cash flow statement and, therefore, transfers between cash and restricted cash accounts will no longer be recognized within the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis. Based on the Company's historical restricted cash balances, it does not expect any 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%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Business Combinations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, an amendment to ASC 805, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Business Combinations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, clarifying the definition of a business in the ASC, which is intended to reduce the complexity surrounding the assessment of a transaction as an asset acquisition or business combination. The amendment provides an initial fair value screen to reduce the number of transactions that would fit the definition of a business, and when the screen threshold is not met, provides an updated model that further clarifies the characteristics of a business. 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 amendment will be applied on a prospective basis. The amendment could potentially have material impacts on future transactions that the Company may enter into by altering the Company&amp;#8217;s conclusion on what accounting to apply to acquisitions. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, an amendment to ASC 610-20, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which clarifies the scope and accounting related to the derecognition of nonfinancial assets, including partial sales and contributions of nonfinancial assets to a joint venture or other non-controlled investee. The guidance is effective concurrently with ASC 606, which is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year with early adoption permitted. ASU No. 2017-05 may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The Company has determined that to the extent a deferred gain exists related to nonfinancial assets on the balance sheet upon adoption, it would be recognized under the new accounting guidance as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the earliest period presented.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Compensation - Retirement Benefits&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, an amendment to ASC 715, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Compensation - Retirement Benefits&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which changes the presentation of net periodic benefit cost on the income statement by requiring companies to present all components of net periodic benefit cost, other than service cost, outside a subtotal of income from operations. The amendment also states that only the service cost component of net periodic benefits costs is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. 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 amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis for presentation and changes to capitalization of costs will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is continuing to evaluate the amendment to fully understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption. The Company is also monitoring industry specific developments on the new guidance to determine the appropriate treatment of these changes in a rate regulated environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Stock Compensation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, 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 clarifies the accounting for changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payments. 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 prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. 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%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Derivatives and Hedging&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, an amendment to ASC 815, &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;, which is intended to make targeted improvements to the accounting for hedging activities by better aligning an entity&amp;#8217;s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. These amendments modify the accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. Additionally, the amendments are intended to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance and provide relief to companies by easing certain hedge documentation requirements. 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. Upon adoption, the transition requirements and elections will be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The Company does not currently apply hedge accounting to any of its risk management activities and thus does not expect the amendments to have any impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

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

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: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 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: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 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 2017&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;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the Company had no minimum funding requirements. 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 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 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom;"&gt;fiscal 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. 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: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;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;$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;$3.2 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 2017&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;2016&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;$4 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;$7 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, the Company uses an aggregate discount rate at which its obligation could be effectively settled. The Company 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, the Company 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. The Company 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, the Company accounted for this change prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

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: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: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%;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 implemented 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: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 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:left;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: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 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 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:left;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 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the BPU approved NJNG's base rate case, effective &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;October 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which included an increase in base rates in the amount of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$45 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

Such utility gross margin variations are recovered in the year following the end of the CIP usage year, without interest, and are subject to additional conditions, including an earnings test, a revenue test and an evaluation of BGSS related savings.

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.

Actual expenditures are recovered from customers, with interest, over &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;seven&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; year rolling periods, through a RAC rate rider.

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: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: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: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: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. In October 2014, the BPU approved, as prudent and reasonable, the deferred O&amp;amp;M storm costs.

NJNG&amp;#8217;s related costs to maintain the operational integrity of its distribution and transmission main are recoverable, subject to BPU review and approval. Through September&amp;#160;30, 2016, NJNG was limited to recording a regulatory asset associated with PIM that did not exceed &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$700,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; per year. In addition, to the extent that project costs were lower than the approved PIM annual expense of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1.4 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, NJNG recorded a regulatory liability to be refunded as a credit to customers&amp;#8217; gas costs when the net cumulative liability exceeded &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. As of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;September&amp;#160;30, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, NJNG recorded &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$3.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of PIM in other regulatory assets. The deferred PIM costs were approved for recovery through NJNG&amp;#8217;s new base rates effective &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;October 2016&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;seven&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;-year amortization period. As of October 1, 2016, NJNG will no longer defer costs associated with PIM.&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;Over and Underrecovered Gas Costs&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 recovers its cost of gas through the BGSS rate component of its customers&amp;#8217; bills. 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 occur 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.&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: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 2016&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;2017&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 at any time given five days notice 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. 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 2015 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;February 2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the BPU approved NJNG&amp;#8217;s proposal to continue its existing BGSS rate and to increase its CIP rates resulting in a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1.1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; annual recovery increase, effective &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;October 2015&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

Revenues and cost of gas related to physical gas flow is recognized when the gas is delivered to customers. Consequently, there is a mismatch in the timing of earnings recognition between the economic hedges and physical gas flows.

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. The Company 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

On a monthly basis, the Company 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. The Company&amp;#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.&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 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, the Company will establish a reserve if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, in which case it is the Company&amp;#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 the Company&amp;#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.&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;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Business Combinations&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 accounts for business combinations by applying the acquisition method of accounting. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date and associated transactions costs are expensed as incurred.&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 determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as other assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates based on the risk inherent in the acquired assets and related cash flows.  Our valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. However, a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. See &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Note 3.

As a result of the impact of the ratemaking process and regulatory actions of the BPU, NJNG is required to recognize the economic effects of rate regulation. Accordingly, NJNG capitalizes or defers certain costs that are expected to be recovered from its customers as regulatory assets and recognizes certain obligations representing probable future expenditures as regulatory liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;For the purpose of securing storage and pipeline capacity in support of their respective businesses, our Energy Services and Natural Gas Distribution segments enter into storage and pipeline capacity contracts, which require the payment of associated demand fees and charges that allow them access to a high priority of service in order to maintain the ability to access storage or pipeline capacity during a fixed time period, which generally ranges from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;one&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;10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; years. Many of these demand fees and charges are based on established tariff rates as established and regulated by FERC. These charges represent commitments to pay storage providers and pipeline companies for the priority right to transport and/or store natural gas utilizing their respective assets.&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

The Company&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. Energy Services 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. The Company did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges 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;2017&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;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, the Company prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case-by-case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG and forward SREC contracts at Clean Energy Ventures. When applied, 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: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 5. 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;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;Fair values of exchange-traded instruments, including futures, swaps, and certain options, are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets. The Company&amp;#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at Energy Services 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%;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;Revenues&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;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: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 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 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%;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;Clean Energy Ventures 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 Energy Services 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. Energy Services 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%;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 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%;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;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Gas Purchases&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 tariff includes a component for BGSS, which is designed to allow it 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 cost savings created by BGSS incentive programs. 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%;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;Gas purchases at Energy Services are comprised of gas costs to be paid upon completion of a variety of transactions, as well as realized gains and losses from settled derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on the change in fair value of derivative instruments that have not yet settled. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that economically hedge the forecasted purchases of natural gas are recognized in gas purchases as they occur.&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;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Income Taxes&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 computes income taxes using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred income taxes are generally determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

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: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 base rates include the ability to recover AFUDC on its construction work in progress.

Concurrently, the Company 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, the Company 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:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Pension and Postemployment Plans&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 has &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; noncontributory defined pension plans covering eligible employees, including officers. Benefits are based on each employee&amp;#8217;s years of service and compensation. The Company&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 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2016&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to improve the funded status of the pension plans based on the 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 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;fiscal 2017&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:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company 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. The Company contributed &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;, &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 aggregate to these plans in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;fiscal 2017&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;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.&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 11.

The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and applied the new provisions on a prospective basis, which did 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%;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%;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 Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and applied the new provisions on a full retrospective basis, which did 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%;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;Interest&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 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 amendment does 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 amendment contained within ASU No. 2015-03 does not require companies to modify their accounting for costs incurred in obtaining revolving credit facilities. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and applied the new provisions on a full retrospective basis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

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 amendment provides 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 Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and applied the new provisions on a prospective basis, which did 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%;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;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Other Recent Updates to the Accounting Standards Codification&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Revenue&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 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 not be early adopted and will be 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. The Company anticipates significant new disclosures as a result of the new standard and expects to transition to the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach. The Company is also monitoring industry specific developments that may have an impact on its financial position, results of operation and cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;Inventory&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 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 amendment will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect any 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: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;Financial Instruments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 amendment will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company evaluated the amendment 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 Consolidated 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%;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 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 amendment 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%;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;Leases&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 842 and is actively monitoring industry specific developments including the exposure draft issued by the FASB that would introduce a land easement practical expedient to ASC 842. At this time the Company does not plan to early adopt the new guidance and expects to elect the practical expedient package in the new guidance during transition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;Statement of Cash Flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, an amendment to ASC 230, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, 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 amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect any material impacts to its cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, an amendment to ASC 230, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which requires that any amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash or restricted cash-equivalents be included in cash and cash-equivalent balances on the cash flow statement and, therefore, transfers between cash and restricted cash accounts will no longer be recognized within the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis. Based on the Company's historical restricted cash balances, it does not expect any 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%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Business Combinations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, an amendment to ASC 805, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Business Combinations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, clarifying the definition of a business in the ASC, which is intended to reduce the complexity surrounding the assessment of a transaction as an asset acquisition or business combination. The amendment provides an initial fair value screen to reduce the number of transactions that would fit the definition of a business, and when the screen threshold is not met, provides an updated model that further clarifies the characteristics of a business. 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 amendment will be applied on a prospective basis. The amendment could potentially have material impacts on future transactions that the Company may enter into by altering the Company&amp;#8217;s conclusion on what accounting to apply to acquisitions. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, an amendment to ASC 610-20, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which clarifies the scope and accounting related to the derecognition of nonfinancial assets, including partial sales and contributions of nonfinancial assets to a joint venture or other non-controlled investee. The guidance is effective concurrently with ASC 606, which is effective for the Company&amp;#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year with early adoption permitted. ASU No. 2017-05 may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The Company has determined that to the extent a deferred gain exists related to nonfinancial assets on the balance sheet upon adoption, it would be recognized under the new accounting guidance as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the earliest period presented.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Compensation - Retirement Benefits&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, an amendment to ASC 715, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Compensation - Retirement Benefits&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which changes the presentation of net periodic benefit cost on the income statement by requiring companies to present all components of net periodic benefit cost, other than service cost, outside a subtotal of income from operations. The amendment also states that only the service cost component of net periodic benefits costs is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. 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 amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis for presentation and changes to capitalization of costs will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is continuing to evaluate the amendment to fully understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption. The Company is also monitoring industry specific developments on the new guidance to determine the appropriate treatment of these changes in a rate regulated environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Stock Compensation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, 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 clarifies the accounting for changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payments. 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 prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. 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%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Derivatives and Hedging&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;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;In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, an amendment to ASC 815, &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;, which is intended to make targeted improvements to the accounting for hedging activities by better aligning an entity&amp;#8217;s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. These amendments modify the accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. Additionally, the amendments are intended to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance and provide relief to companies by easing certain hedge documentation requirements. 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. Upon adoption, the transition requirements and elections will be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The Company does not currently apply hedge accounting to any of its risk management activities and thus does not expect the amendments to have any impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:SignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>

On a monthly basis, the Company 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. The Company&amp;#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.&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 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, the Company will establish a reserve if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, in which case it is the Company&amp;#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 the Company&amp;#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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:UseOfEstimates>

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.

Based on those evaluations, NJR has determined that it does not have any investments in variable interest entities as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">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;">.</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:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Investments in entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest are either accounted for under the equity method or cost method of accounting.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;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;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Use of Estimates</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:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company 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, the Company 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. The Company&#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%;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:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company 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, the Company will establish a reserve if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, in which case it is the Company&#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 the Company&#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 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;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Business Combinations</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:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company accounts for business combinations by applying the acquisition method of accounting. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date and associated transactions costs are expensed as incurred.</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:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as other assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates based on the risk inherent in the acquired assets and related cash flows.  Our valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. However, a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The Company&#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. Energy Services 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. The Company did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges during </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">fiscal 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</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 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, the Company prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case-by-case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG and forward SREC contracts at Clean Energy Ventures. When applied, 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: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;">See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 5.

The Company&#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at Energy Services 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%;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;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: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;">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: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;">NJNG records unbilled revenue for natural gas services.

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 recognizes unbilled revenues related to these amounts.

As part of computing its BGSS rate, NJNG projects its cost of natural gas, net of supplier refunds, the impact of hedging activities and cost savings created by BGSS incentive programs. 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%;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;">Gas purchases at Energy Services are comprised of gas costs to be paid upon completion of a variety of transactions, as well as realized gains and losses from settled derivative instruments and unrealized gains and losses on the change in fair value of derivative instruments that have not yet settled.

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&#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.</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;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Capitalized and Deferred Interest</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;">NJNG&#8217;s base rates include the ability to recover AFUDC on its construction work in progress.

Concurrently, the Company 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, the Company 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:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Pension and Postemployment Plans</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:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company has </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">two</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> noncontributory defined pension plans covering eligible employees, including officers. Benefits are based on each employee&#8217;s years of service and compensation. The Company&#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 </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$30 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> during the first quarter of fiscal </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to improve the funded status of the pension plans based on the current actuarial assumptions, which included the adoption of the most recent mortality table.

ASC 606 supersedes ASC 605, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Revenue Recognition</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, 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 not be early adopted and will be 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 Company anticipates significant new disclosures as a result of the new standard and expects to transition to the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach. The Company is also monitoring industry specific developments that may have an impact on its financial position, results of operation and cash flows.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Inventory</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, an amendment to ASC 330, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Inventory</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which requires entities to measure most inventory &#8220;at the lower of cost or net realizable value,&#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&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a prospective basis.

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 amendment will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company evaluated the amendment 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 Consolidated 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%;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;">In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 amendment 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%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Leases</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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. The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 842 and is actively monitoring industry specific developments including the exposure draft issued by the FASB that would introduce a land easement practical expedient to ASC 842. At this time the Company does not plan to early adopt the new guidance and expects to elect the practical expedient package in the new guidance during transition.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Statement of Cash Flows</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, an amendment to ASC 230, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Statement of Cash Flows</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues for which there has been diversity in practice. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis.

The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis. Based on the Company's historical restricted cash balances, it does not expect any material impacts to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Business Combinations</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, an amendment to ASC 805, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Business Combinations</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, clarifying the definition of a business in the ASC, which is intended to reduce the complexity surrounding the assessment of a transaction as an asset acquisition or business combination. The amendment provides an initial fair value screen to reduce the number of transactions that would fit the definition of a business, and when the screen threshold is not met, provides an updated model that further clarifies the characteristics of a business. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a prospective basis. The amendment could potentially have material impacts on future transactions that the Company may enter into by altering the Company&#8217;s conclusion on what accounting to apply to acquisitions. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, an amendment to ASC 610-20, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which clarifies the scope and accounting related to the derecognition of nonfinancial assets, including partial sales and contributions of nonfinancial assets to a joint venture or other non-controlled investee. The guidance is effective concurrently with ASC 606, which is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year with early adoption permitted. ASU No. 2017-05 may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The Company has determined that to the extent a deferred gain exists related to nonfinancial assets on the balance sheet upon adoption, it would be recognized under the new accounting guidance as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the earliest period presented.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Compensation - Retirement Benefits</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, an amendment to ASC 715, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Compensation - Retirement Benefits</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which changes the presentation of net periodic benefit cost on the income statement by requiring companies to present all components of net periodic benefit cost, other than service cost, outside a subtotal of income from operations. The amendment also states that only the service cost component of net periodic benefits costs is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis for presentation and changes to capitalization of costs will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is continuing to evaluate the amendment to fully understand the impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption. The Company is also monitoring industry specific developments on the new guidance to determine the appropriate treatment of these changes in a rate regulated environment.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Stock Compensation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, an amendment to ASC 718, </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 clarifies the accounting for changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payments.

These amendments modify the accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. Additionally, the amendments are intended to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance and provide relief to companies by easing certain hedge documentation requirements. 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 transition requirements and elections will be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The Company does not currently apply hedge accounting to any of its risk management activities and thus does not expect the amendments to have any impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.</font></div></div><span></span>

was recorded as of September 30, 2017. Identifiable assets were recorded at their estimated fair value as determined by management and were based upon significant estimates and assumptions that are judgmental in nature, including the projected amount and timing of future cash flows, a discount rate reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows and future natural gas prices. During fiscal 2017, the Company incurred approximately&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$300,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;in acquisition related transaction costs, which are recorded in operations and maintenance expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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 useful lives of the acquired assets are based upon the terms of the contractual arrangements.

The  acquisition date fair value of the wholesale contracts is presented as an intangible asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and is amortized based upon the pattern of expected future cash flows. The related amortization expense totaled </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$762,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> during fiscal 2017, and is included in gas purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The acquired retail contracts consist of natural gas physical forward sales agreements and therefore are subsequently measured and accounted for in accordance with ASC 815, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Derivatives and Hedging</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  Accordingly, the acquisition date fair value of the retail contracts is presented within the Derivatives, at fair value line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is relieved in subsequent periods as the underlying physical forward contracts settle. During fiscal 2017, operating revenues of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$20.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and operating income of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$281,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> attributable to the acquisition are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">As the assets were acquired from a non-public company that did not prepare financial information for the specific assets involved in the transaction, historical financial information was impracticable to obtain.

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:6pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"><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%;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 implemented 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: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 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:left;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: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 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 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:left;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;">In </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the BPU approved NJNG's base rate case, effective </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">October 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which included an increase in base 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;">.

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 occur 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 at any time given five days notice when the natural gas commodity costs decrease in comparison to amounts projected or to amounts previously collected from customers.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"> </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;">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 the Company&#8217;s derivative instruments, see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 6. Fair Value</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 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;">Energy 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;">Energy Services chooses not to designate its financial commodity and physical forward commodity derivatives as accounting hedges or to elect NPNS, and therefore changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded as a component of gas purchases or operating revenues, as appropriate for Energy Services, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or (losses). For Energy Services 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;">Energy Services 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. Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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 Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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;">Natural Gas Distribution</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;">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: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;">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

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 Energy Services, although the Company&#8217;s intended economic

As a result, the Company is now required to present variation margin net with the related derivative assets and/or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for any derivatives the Company clears through the CME. This change is being applied on a prospective basis. In September 30, 2016, prior to the rule change, the Company reported the variation margin as a separate unit of account within restricted broker margin on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no impact to the Company&#8217;s derivative gains or losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the CME rule amendment.</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:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Wholesale Credit Risk</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;">NJNG, Energy Services and Clean Energy Ventures are exposed to credit risk as a result of their sales/wholesale and retail marketing activities. 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., fails to deliver or pay for natural gas, SRECs, electricity or RECs), 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;">The Company 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 the Company&#8217;s election not to extend credit or because exposure exceeds defined thresholds. Most of the Company&#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

Energy Services&#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 the Company. 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;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;">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, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, is </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$8.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$23.1 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, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</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;">$8.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$23.1 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>

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.

The Company 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. Energy Services uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, Energy Services 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, Energy Services&#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;">The Company 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 the Company determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk.

2014, which secures all of the outstanding First Mortgage Bonds issued by NJNG. 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.

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.

The Company 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, the Company applies the duration specific spot rates from the full yield curve, as of the measurement date, to each year&#8217;s future benefit payments. The Company 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, the Company accounted for this change prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font

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;">$117.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$205.2 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, 2017</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;">$149 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the most likely amount. This was reduced from </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$172 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in fiscal 2016, due to the completion of remediation work at some of sites and a reduction to the remediation scope at another site. 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 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 RAC. 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;">Litigation</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;">The Company is involved, and from time to time in the future may be involved, in a number of pending and threatened judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings relating to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of its business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation matters, particularly when such matters are in their early stages or where the claimants seek indeterminate damages, the Company cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of the pending litigation will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter will be, if any. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, NJR establishes reserves for litigation for those matters that present loss contingencies as to which it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Based upon currently available information, NJR believes that the results of litigation that is currently pending, taken together, will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company&#8217;s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The actual results of resolving the pending litigation matters may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved.  </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;">The foregoing statements about NJR&#8217;s litigation are based upon the Company&#8217;s judgments, assumptions and estimates and are necessarily subjective and uncertain. The Company has a number of threatened and pending litigation matters at various stages. Certain of the Company&#8217;s significant litigation is described below.</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;">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, 2017</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><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. The Company 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:left;font-size:8pt;"><font

AROs are evaluated as often as needed.

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 the Company&#8217;s policy to accrue the lower end of the range.

Management determines discount rates based on the risk inherent in the acquired assets and related cash flows.  Our valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. However, a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.</font></div></div><span></span>

The Company&#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. Energy Services 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. The Company did not have derivatives designated as fair value hedges during </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">fiscal 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</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 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, the Company prospectively applies this normal scope exception on a case-by-case basis to physical commodity contracts at NJNG and forward SREC contracts at Clean Energy Ventures. When applied, 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: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;">See </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 5.

The Company&#8217;s non-exchange-traded financial instruments, foreign currency derivatives, over-the-counter physical commodity contracts at Energy Services 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><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 the Company&#8217;s derivative instruments, see </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Note 6.

For Energy Services 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;">Energy Services 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. Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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 Energy Services 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, Energy Services 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;">Natural Gas Distribution</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;">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>

As part of computing its BGSS rate, NJNG projects its cost of natural gas, net of supplier refunds, the impact of hedging activities and cost savings created by BGSS incentive programs. NJNG subsequently recovers or credits the difference, if any, of actual costs compared with those included in current rates.

ITCs at NJR&#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.

Concurrently, the Company 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, the Company 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><span></span>

The amendment provides 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.

ASC 606 supersedes ASC 605, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Revenue Recognition</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, 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 not be early adopted and will be 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 Company anticipates significant new disclosures as a result of the new standard and expects to transition to the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach.

The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, and interim periods within that year. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a prospective basis.

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 amendment will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company evaluated the amendment 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 Consolidated 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%;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;">In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 amendment 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%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Leases</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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. The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of ASC 842 and is actively monitoring industry specific developments including the exposure draft issued by the FASB that would introduce a land easement practical expedient to ASC 842. At this time the Company does not plan to early adopt the new guidance and expects to elect the practical expedient package in the new guidance during transition.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Statement of Cash Flows</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, an amendment to ASC 230, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Statement of Cash Flows</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues for which there has been diversity in practice.

Based on the Company's historical restricted cash balances, it does not expect any material impacts to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Business Combinations</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, an amendment to ASC 805, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Business Combinations</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, clarifying the definition of a business in the ASC, which is intended to reduce the complexity surrounding the assessment of a transaction as an asset acquisition or business combination. The amendment provides an initial fair value screen to reduce the number of transactions that would fit the definition of a business, and when the screen threshold is not met, provides an updated model that further clarifies the characteristics of a business. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a prospective basis. The amendment could potentially have material impacts on future transactions that the Company may enter into by altering the Company&#8217;s conclusion on what accounting to apply to acquisitions. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;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;">In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, an amendment to ASC 610-20, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which clarifies the scope and accounting related to the derecognition of nonfinancial assets, including partial sales and contributions of nonfinancial assets to a joint venture or other non-controlled investee. The guidance is effective concurrently with ASC 606, which is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year with early adoption permitted. ASU No. 2017-05 may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption.

The amendment also states that only the service cost component of net periodic benefits costs is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The guidance is effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendment will be applied on a retrospective basis for presentation and changes to capitalization of costs will be applied on a prospective basis.

These amendments modify the accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. Additionally, the amendments are intended to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance and provide relief to companies by easing certain hedge documentation requirements. 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 transition requirements and elections will be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The Company does not currently apply hedge accounting to any of its risk management activities and thus does not expect the amendments to have any impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.</font></div></div><span></span>

The Company 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. Energy Services uses Platts and Natural Gas Exchange for Canadian delivery points. However, Energy Services 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, Energy Services&#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;">The Company 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 the Company determines fair values, measurements are adjusted, as needed, for credit risk associated with its counterparties, as well as its own credit risk. The Company 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>

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>
