Bellaire Corporation (“Bellaire”) is a non-operating subsidiary of the Company with legacy liabilities relating to closed mining operations, primarily former Eastern U.S. underground coal mining operations. Prior to 2021, Bellaire contributed $5.0 million to establish a mine water treatment trust (the "Mine Water Treatment Trust") to assure the long-term treatment of post-mining discharge. Bellaire's Mine Water Treatment Trust invests in equity securities that are reported at fair value based upon quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets; therefore, they are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company recognized a loss of $1.5 million and $2.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and a gain of $0.7 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to the Mine Water Treatment Trust.

Prior to 2021, the Company invested $2.0 million in equity securities of a public company with a diversified portfolio of royalty producing mineral interests. The investment is reported at fair value based upon quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets; therefore, it is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company recognized a loss of $0.4 million and a gain of $0.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and a gain of $0.6 million and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to the investment in these equity securities.

The gains and losses related to equity securities are reported on the line Loss (gain) on equity securities in the Other (income) expense section of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company recorded the estimated fair value of an office building and membership units of a privately held company during the second quarter of 2022. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows and external appraisals, and considered both the income and market approaches.

The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the membership units are the estimated future cash flows and the discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows. The estimate of future cash flows is based on available historical information and forecasts provided by the privately held company that are inherently uncertain. Management determined the appropriate discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"). The WACC takes into account both the
after-tax cost of debt and cost of equity. A major component of the cost of equity is the current risk-free rate on twenty-year U.S. Treasury bonds as well as company specific risk and size premiums.

In determining the $4.1 million fair value of the office building, the Company engaged an independent real estate appraiser to appraise the property utilizing observed sales transactions for similar assets as well as consideration of an income approach.

Prior to receiving the membership units from GRE, the Company held a $5.0 million investment in the same privately-held company. The Company previously elected to use the measurement alternative to fair value included in ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities, that allows investments without readily determinable fair values to be carried at cost less impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments. The Company determined that the receipt of the additional membership units does not represent an observable transaction as defined in ASC 321. As such, the Company will add the fair value of the additional membership units of $12.8 million to the $5.0 million historical cost basis of the existing membership units, the total of which is the initial measurement of the Company’s equity method investment.

The office building is included in Property, plant and equipment, net and the investment in the privately-held company is included in Investment in private company equity units within the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
