NOTE 1.     Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Background

CSX Corporation (“CSX”), and together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), based in Jacksonville, Florida, is one of the nation's leading transportation suppliers.  The Company provides rail-based transportation services including traditional rail service and the transport of intermodal containers and trailers.

CSX’s principal operating subsidiary, CSX Transportation, Inc. (“CSXT”), provides an important link to the transportation supply chain through its approximately 21,000 route mile rail network, which serves major population centers in 23 states east of the Mississippi River, the District of Columbia and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. 

Other entities

In addition to CSXT, the Company’s subsidiaries include CSX Intermodal, Total Distribution Services, Inc. (“TDSI”), Transflo Terminal Services, Inc. (“Transflo”), CSX Technology, Inc. (“CSX Technology”) and other subsidiaries.  Intermodal provides transportation services linking customers to railroads via trucks and terminals. TDSI serves the automotive industry with distribution centers and storage locations, while Transflo provides logistical solutions for transferring products from rail to trucks.  CSX Technology and other subsidiaries provide support services for the Company.

CSX’s other holdings include CSX Real Property, Inc., a subsidiary responsible for the Company’s real estate sales, leasing, acquisition and management and development activities.  These activities are classified in other income – net because they are not considered by the Company to be operating activities.  Results of these activities fluctuate with the timing of non-operating real estate transactions.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2010, the Company is no longer reflecting the intermodal business as a separate segment.  This change is a result of the strategic business review and change in CSX’s intermodal service associated with the start of the UMAX program as well as certain management realignments. The UMAX program, which began this quarter, is a domestic interline container program. CSX’s chairman now views intermodal similarly to merchandise and coal. Also, Inland Transportation expense has been reclassified to Materials, Supplies and Other.  Intermodal revenue will continue to be viewed as a separate revenue group; however, a separate income statement and operating ratio will no longer be provided and business segment disclosures are no longer required.  All prior periods have been revised to reflect this change.

NOTE 1.      Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies, continued
 
Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the following:

·  
Consolidated income statements for the quarters and six months ended June 25, 2010 and June 26, 2009;

·  
Consolidated balance sheets at June 25, 2010 and December 25, 2009; and

·  
Consolidated cash flow statements for the six months ended June 25, 2010 and June 26, 2009.
 
    Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements.  CSX suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in CSX's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Fiscal Year

CSX follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar with the last day of each reporting period ending on a Friday:

·  
The second fiscal quarter of 2010 and 2009 consisted of 13 weeks ending on June 25, 2010 and June 26, 2009, respectively.

·  
The six month periods of 2010 and 2009 consisted of 26 weeks ending on June 25, 2010 and June 26, 2009, respectively.

·  
Fiscal year 2009 consisted of 52 weeks ending on December 25, 2009.

·  
Please note that fiscal year 2010 consists of 53 weeks ending on December 31, 2010.  Therefore, fourth quarter 2010 will consist of 14 weeks.

Except as otherwise specified, references to “second quarter(s)” or “six months” indicate CSX’s fiscal periods ending June 25, 2010 and June 26, 2009, and references to year-end indicate the fiscal year ended December 25, 2009.

NOTE 1.      Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Comprehensive Earnings

CSX reports comprehensive earnings or loss in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.  Total comprehensive earnings are defined as all changes in shareholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders (e.g., issuance of equity securities and dividends).  Generally, for CSX, total comprehensive earnings equals net earnings plus or minus certain reclassifications for pension and other post-retirement liabilities.  Total comprehensive earnings represent the activity for a period net of related tax effects and were $424 million and $311 million for second quarters 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $741 million and $556 million for six months 2010 and 2009, respectively.

    While total comprehensive earnings is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of the balance sheet date.  For CSX, AOCI is primarily the cumulative balance related to pension and other post-retirement reclassifications. Overall equity was reduced by $787 million and $809 million as of June 2010 and December 2009, respectively, primarily as a result of normal quarterly pension reclassifications.  In general, for CSX, AOCI is not materially impacted by other items.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts on uncollectible amounts related to freight receivables, public project receivables (work done by the Company on behalf of a government agency), claims for damages and other various receivables. The allowance is based upon the credit worthiness of customers, historical experience, the age of the receivable and current market and economic conditions. Uncollectible amounts are charged against the allowance account.  Allowance for doubtful accounts of $43 million and $47 million is included in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 2010 and December 2009, respectively.

Capital Expenditures

Property additions, which are classified as investing activities on the consolidated cash flow statements, consisted of $687 million and $657 million for second quarters 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Total capital expenditures for 2009 included purchases of new assets using seller financing of approximately $160 million, for which payments are included in other financing activities on the consolidated cash flow statements.  There were no purchases of new assets using seller financing agreements during second quarter 2010.  The Company plans to spend $1.7 billion for total capital expenditures in 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Policy

Change in Accounting Principle
 
Effective in the second quarter of 2010, CSX changed the accounting policy for rail grinding costs from a capitalization method, under which the cost of rail grinding was capitalized and then depreciated, to a direct expense method, under which rail grinding costs are expensed as incurred. This represents a change from an acceptable method under GAAP to a preferable method, and is consistent with recent changes in industry practice.
 
The direct expense method eliminates the subjectivity in determining the period of benefit over which to depreciate the capitalized costs associated with rail grinding. The application of the change in accounting principle is presented retrospectively to all periods presented.
 
The balance sheet effects of the adjustments through the beginning of fiscal year 2009 resulted in a decrease in net properties, deferred income taxes, and shareholders’ equity by $134 million, $51 million, and $83 million, respectively.  The effect of this change is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity for any of the periods presented.

Other Items

Retained Earnings

During second quarter 2010, CSX's other capital balance was reduced to zero as a result of share repurchases. In accordance with the Equity Topic in the ASC, other capital cannot be negative.  Therefore, a reclassification of $540 million was made between retained earnings and other capital to bring the other capital balance to zero.  Generally, retained earnings is only impacted by net earnings and dividends.

Property Transaction

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company closed an operating property transaction with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The Company received $50 million of cash related to this transaction and recorded a net book loss of $30 million pre-tax or $0.05 per share. This property is a former Conrail acquired property.  This loss is reflected in materials, supplies and other.

(a)  
For additional information regarding discontinued operations, see Note 10, Discontinued Operations.

(b)  
When calculating diluted earnings per share for stock option common stock equivalents, the Earnings Per Share Topic in the ASC requires CSX to include the potential shares that would be outstanding if all outstanding stock options were exercised.   This is offset by shares CSX could repurchase using the proceeds from these hypothetical exercises to obtain the common stock equivalent.  This number is different from outstanding stock options, which is included in Note 3, Share-Based Compensation.  All stock options were dilutive for the periods presented; therefore, no stock options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

NOTE 2.     Earnings Per Share, continued

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Earnings per share, assuming dilution, is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of common stock that may be issued as a result of the following types of potentially dilutive instruments:

·  
convertible debt;

·  
employee stock options; and

·  
other equity awards, which include long-term incentive awards.

The Earnings Per Share Topic in the ASC requires CSX to include additional shares in the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution.  The additional shares included in diluted earnings per share represents the number of shares that would be issued if all of the above potentially dilutive instruments were converted into CSX common stock.

As a result, diluted shares outstanding are not impacted when debentures are converted into CSX common stock because those shares were already included in the diluted shares calculation.  Shares outstanding for basic earnings per share, however, are impacted on a weighted-average basis when conversions occur.  During second quarter 2010, $200,000 of face value of convertible debentures were converted into 7,000 shares of CSX common stock.  There were no conversions of convertible debentures during second quarter 2009.  As of June 2010, approximately $28 million of convertible debentures at face value remained outstanding, which are convertible into approximately 1 million shares of CSX common stock.

NOTE 3.      Share-Based Compensation

CSX share-based compensation plans primarily include performance grants, restricted stock awards, stock options and stock plans for directors.  CSX has not granted stock options since 2003.  Awards granted under the various plans are determined and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or, in certain circumstances, by the Chief Executive Officer for awards to management employees other than senior executives.  The Board of Directors approves awards granted to the Company’s non-management directors upon recommendation of the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.

NOTE 3.     Share-Based Compensation, continued

On May 4, 2010, 402,000 target performance units were granted to key members of management under a new long-term incentive plan adopted under the CSX Omnibus Incentive Plan.  This plan provides for a three-year cycle ending in fiscal year 2012.  Similar to the two existing plans, the financial target upon which payments are based is operating ratio, which is defined as operating expenses divided by operating revenue and is calculated excluding certain non-recurring items.  Target grants were made in performance units, with each unit being equivalent to one share of CSX common stock, and payouts will be made in CSX common stock.  The payout range for participants will be between 0% and 200% of the original target grant based upon CSX’s attainments of pre-established operating ratio targets for fiscal year 2012.  Payouts to certain senior executive officers are subject to a reduction of up to 30% at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors based upon Company performance against certain CSX strategic initiatives.
 
As part of this plan, 134,000 time-based restricted stock units were granted to key members of management.  The restricted stock units vest three years after the date of grant and participants receive cash dividend equivalents on the unvested shares during the restriction period.  These awards are not based upon CSX’s attainment of operational targets.
 
 
For information related to the Company’s other outstanding long-term incentive plans, see CSX’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 4.      Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, continued

    During the second quarter of 2010, the Company reduced casualty reserves by a net $9 million, most of which is related to the reduction in CSXT personal injury reserves of $13 million as noted below.
 
    During the second quarter of 2009, the Company reduced casualty reserves by a net $85 million, or $0.22 per share.  The majority of this reduction is related to personal injury and asbestos and is described below.  Also included in the net reduction is a write-off of $11 million of reinsurance receivables (expected receivables from outside insurance companies).  This receivable write-off is not included in the reserve amounts disclosed above.

Casualty
   
    Casualty reserves represent accruals for personal injury and occupational injury claims. During the quarter the Company increased its self-insured retention amount for these claims from $25 million to $50 million per injury for claims occurring on or after June 1, 2010.  Currently, no individual claim is expected to exceed the self-insured retention amount.  In accordance with the Contingencies Topic in the ASC, to the extent the value of an individual claim exceeds the self-insured retention amount, the Company would present the liability on a gross basis with a corresponding receivable for insurance recoveries.  These reserves fluctuate based upon the timing of payments as well as changes in independent third-party estimates, which are reviewed by management.  The claims relate to CSXT unless otherwise noted below.  Defense and processing costs, which historically have been insignificant and are anticipated to be insignificant in the future, are not included in the recorded liabilities.

Personal Injury
 
    Personal injury reserves represent liabilities for employee work-related and third-party injuries.  Work-related injuries for CSXT employees are primarily subject to the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (“FELA”).  In addition to FELA liabilities, employees of other CSX subsidiaries or former subsidiaries are covered by various state workers’ compensation laws, the Federal Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Program or the Maritime Jones Act.

CSXT retains an independent actuarial firm to assist management in assessing the value of personal injury claims and cases.  An analysis is performed by the independent actuarial firm semi-annually and is reviewed by management. The methodology used by the actuary includes a development factor to reflect growth or reduction in the value of these personal injury claims. It is based largely on CSXT’s historical claims and settlement experience.  Actual results may vary from estimates due to the number, type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments and uncertainties in litigation.

NOTE 4.       Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, continued

During second quarters of 2010 and 2009, the Company reduced personal injury reserves by $13 million and $78 million, respectively, based on management’s review of the actuarial analysis performed by an independent actuarial firm.  These reductions are a direct result of the Company’s improvement in safety.  Claims have shown a continued downward trend in the number of injuries, resulting in a continual reduction of the Company’s FRA personal injury frequency index.  Additionally, the trend in the severity of injuries has significantly declined.

Occupational

Occupational claims arise from allegations of exposure to certain materials in the workplace, such as asbestos, solvents (which include soaps and chemicals) and diesel fuels or allegations of chronic physical injuries resulting from work conditions, such as repetitive stress injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and hearing loss.

An analysis of occupational claims is performed semi-annually by an independent third party and reviewed by management.  The methodology used includes estimates of future anticipated incurred but not reported claims based on the Company’s trends in average historical claim filing rates, future anticipated dismissal rates and future settlement rates.  Actual claims may vary from these estimates due to the number, type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments and uncertainties in litigation.

During second quarter 2009, the Company reduced its asbestos reserves by $18 million.  This reserve reduction is related to approximately 1,500 claims that were deemed to have no medical merit and, therefore, have been determined to have no value.  Asbestos reserves were not adjusted during 2010 as a result of the semi-annual review by the independent third party.

Separation
 
Separation liabilities represent the estimated benefits provided to certain union employees as a result of implementing workforce reductions, improvements in productivity and certain other cost reductions at the Company's major transportation units since 1991. These liabilities are expected to be paid out over the next 10 to 15 years from general corporate funds and may fluctuate depending on the timing of payments and associated taxes.

NOTE 4.     Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, continued
 
 Environmental

The Company is a party to various proceedings related to environmental issues, including administrative and judicial proceedings, involving private parties and regulatory agencies. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party at approximately 255 environmentally impaired sites. Many of these are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA, also known as the Superfund Law, or similar state statutes.  Most of these proceedings arose from environmental conditions on properties used for ongoing or discontinued railroad operations.  A number of these proceedings, however, are based on allegations that the Company, or its predecessors, sent hazardous substances to facilities owned or operated by others for treatment or disposal.  In addition, some of the Company’s land holdings were leased to others for commercial or industrial uses that may have resulted in releases of hazardous substances or other regulated materials onto the property and could give rise to proceedings against the Company.

In any such proceedings, the Company is subject to environmental clean-up and enforcement actions under the Superfund Law, as well as similar state laws that may impose joint and several liability for clean-up and enforcement costs on current and former owners and operators of a site without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct.  These costs could be substantial.

In accordance with the Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations Topic in the ASC, the Company reviews its role with respect to each site identified at least quarterly, giving consideration to a number of factors such as:

·  
the type of clean-up required;

·  
the nature of the Company’s alleged connection to the location (e.g., generator of waste sent to the site or owner or operator of the site);

·  
the extent of the Company’s alleged connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other relevant factors); and

·  
the number, connection and financial viability of other named and unnamed potentially responsible parties at the location.

NOTE 4.     Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, continued

Based on the review process, the Company has recorded amounts to cover anticipated contingent future environmental remediation costs with respect to each site to the extent such costs are estimable and probable.  The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs are undiscounted.  The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as any significant ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries.  Payments related to these liabilities are expected to be made over the next several years.  Environmental remediation costs are included in materials, supplies and other on the consolidated income statement.

Currently, the Company does not possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional liabilities, if any, related to some sites, and will not possess such information until completion of future environmental studies.  In addition, conditions that are currently unknown could, at any given location, result in liabilities, the amount and materiality of which cannot presently be reliably estimated.  Based upon information currently available, however, the Company believes its environmental reserves are adequate to fund remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations, and that the ultimate liability for these matters, if any, will not materially affect its overall financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Other

 Other reserves include liabilities for various claims, such as longshoremen disability claims primarily associated with former subsidiaries’ activities, freight claims and claims for property, automobile and general liability.  These liabilities are accrued at the estimable and probable amount in accordance with the Contingencies Topic in the ASC.

NOTE 5.     Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

The Company maintains numerous insurance programs with substantial limits for third-party casualty liability and Company property damage and business interruption.  A certain amount of risk is retained by the Company on each of the casualty and property programs.  For the first event in any given year, the Company has a $25 million deductible for non-catastrophic property programs and a $50 million deductible for casualty and catastrophic property programs.

While the Company’s current insurance coverage is adequate to cover its damages, future claims could exceed existing insurance coverage or insurance may not continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates.

Guarantees

As of June 2010, the Company was no longer liable for the guarantee related to CSX Energy.  Additionally, the guarantee for A.P. Moller-Maersk is currently less than $1 million.

Legal Proceedings

There were no material developments during the quarter concerning the fuel surcharge antitrust litigation or the Seminole Electric Cooperative, Inc. rate case. For further details, see Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, in CSX’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition to the matters referenced above, the Company is involved in litigation incidental to its business and is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, various governmental proceedings and private civil lawsuits, including, but not limited to, those related to environmental matters, FELA claims by employees, other personal injury claims and disputes and complaints involving certain transportation rates and charges.  Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages and others are, or are purported to be, class actions.  While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is currently the opinion of CSX management that none of these items will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.  An unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these items, however, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

NOTE 6.     Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans principally for salaried, management personnel.  The plans provide eligible employees with retirement benefits based predominantly on years of service and compensation rates near retirement.  For employees hired after December 31, 2002, benefits are determined based on a cash balance formula, which provides benefits by utilizing interest and pays credits based upon age, service and compensation.

In addition to these plans, the Company sponsors a post-retirement medical plan and a life insurance plan that provide benefits to full-time, salaried, management employees hired on or before December 31, 2002 upon their retirement if certain eligibility requirements are met.  The post-retirement medical plan is contributory (partially funded by retirees), with retiree contributions adjusted annually.  The life insurance plan is non-contributory.

The Company engages independent, external actuaries to compute the amounts of liabilities and expenses relating to these plans subject to the assumptions that the Company selects.  These amounts are reviewed by management.  The following table describes the components of expense/(income) related to net periodic benefit cost:

Debt Exchange

On March 24, 2010, CSX exchanged $660 million of notes of multiple series (the “Existing Notes”), bearing interest at an average annual rate of 7.74% with maturities ranging from 2017 to 2038.  These Existing Notes were exchanged for $660 million of debt securities (the “New Notes”) bearing interest at an average annual rate of 6.22% and due April 30, 2040.  In addition, CSX paid approximately $141 million to the debtholders as cash consideration.  CSX also paid the debtholders any accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes.  In accordance with the Debt Topic in the ASC, this transaction has been accounted for as a debt exchange.  As such, the $141 million of cash consideration paid to the debtholders is included in other long-term assets.  This cash consideration and the unamortized discount and issue costs from the Existing Notes will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the term of the New Notes.  There was no gain or loss recognized as a result of this exchange.  However, all costs related to the debt exchange and due to parties other than the debtholders were included in interest expense during first quarter 2010.  These costs totaled approximately $3 million.  There were no additional costs incurred during second quarter 2010.

In June 2010, CSX offered to exchange the New Notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the exchange offer.  This offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on July 15, 2010, unless otherwise extended.

For fair value information related to the Company’s long-term debt, see Note 11, Fair Value Measurements.

Revolving Credit Facility

CSX has a $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The facility allows borrowings at floating rates based on the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR"), plus a spread, depending upon CSX’s senior unsecured debt ratings.  The facility requires CSX to maintain a ratio of total debt to total capitalization below a prescribed limit.  The facility does not require CSX to post collateral under any circumstances.  As of June 2010, this facility was not drawn on, and CSX was in compliance with all covenant requirements under the facility.  This facility expires in 2012.

Receivables Securitization Facility

On June 16, 2010, the Company renewed its $250 million receivables securitization facility.  The purpose of this facility is to provide an alternative to commercial paper and a low cost source of short-term liquidity. This facility has a 364-day term and expires on June 15, 2011.  As of the date of this filing, the Company has not drawn on this facility.  Under the terms of this facility, CSX Transportation and CSX Intermodal transferred eligible third-party receivables to CSX Trade Receivables, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary.  A separate subsidiary of CSX will service the receivables.  Upon transfer, the receivables become assets of CSX Trade Receivables and are not available to the creditors of CSX or any of its other subsidiaries. In the event CSX Trade Receivables draws under this facility, the Company will record an equivalent amount of debt on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8.      Other Income - Net

NOTE 9.      Income Taxes

During the second quarter of 2010, the Joint Committee of Taxation, which is a committee of the United States Congress, approved the refund related to the resolution of the 2004 – 2006 federal income tax audit.  The final issue for this audit cycle related to a dispute over the value of the donation of appreciated property.  As a result of this resolution, the Company recorded a tax and interest benefit of $19 million.  Additionally, there were other tax expense items that partially offset this resulting in a net benefit of $15 million or $0.04 per share in the second quarter of 2010. In addition, the Company has reduced gross unrecognized tax benefits by $32 million.  As of June 2010 and December 2009, the Company had approximately $25 million and $50 million, respectively, of total unrecognized tax benefits.  Of these total unrecognized tax benefits and after consideration of the impact of federal tax benefits, as of June 2010 and December 2009, $17 million and $41 million, respectively, could favorably affect the effective income tax rate.

NOTE 10.     Discontinued Operations

The Greenbrier

In the second quarter of 2009, CSX sold the stock of a subsidiary that indirectly owned Greenbrier Hotel Corporation (“The Greenbrier”) to Justice Family Group, LLC for approximately $21 million in cash.  CSX recognized a gain on the sale of $25 million which includes a tax benefit of  $3 million.  In addition, the Greenbrier incurred $2 million of losses from operations in the second quarter of 2009. 

Previously, all amounts associated with the operations of The Greenbrier were included in other income – net.  All prior periods have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations.  The Greenbrier had revenue of $26 million and $33 million and pre-tax income, including the gain on sale, of $17 million and $5 million during second quarter and six months 2009 through the date of sale, respectively.  There was no activity in 2010.

NOTE 11.      Fair Value Measurements

The Financial Instruments Topic in the ASC requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in annual reports as well as in quarterly reports.  For CSX, this statement applies to certain investments and long-term debt.  In addition, disclosure of the fair value of pension plan assets is only required annually.

Various inputs are considered when determining the value of the Company’s investments, pension plan assets and long-term debt.  The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

·  
Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

·  
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

·  
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The valuation methods described below may produce a fair value calculation that is not indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Investments

The Company’s investment assets consist primarily of corporate bonds and are carried at fair value, as determined with the assistance of a third party trustee, on the consolidated balance sheet per the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic in the ASC.  Level 2 inputs were used to determine fair value of the Company’s investment assets.  The fair value and amortized cost of these bonds are as follows:

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt is reported at carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheet and is the Company’s only financial instrument with fair values significantly different from its carrying amounts.  The majority of the Company’s long-term debt is valued with the assistance of an independent third party.  For those instruments not valued with the assistance of a  third party, the fair value has been estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based upon the yields provided by the same independent third party.  All inputs used to determine the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt qualify as level 2 inputs.

The fair value of outstanding debt fluctuates with changes in a number of factors.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, interest rates, market conditions, the value of similar financial instruments, size of the transaction, cash flow projections and comparable trades.  Fair value will exceed carrying value when the current market interest rate is lower than the interest rate at which the debt was originally issued.  The fair value of a company’s debt is a measure of its current value under present market conditions.  It does not impact the financial statements under current accounting rules.  The carrying value of a company’s debt fluctuates with payments and/or new debt issuances.  The fair value and carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt are as follows:
