Assets And Liabilities Held For Sale
Note 5 – Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
 
At December 31, 2014, the Company was involved in final negotiations for the sale of its Pennsylvania utilities, Clarion and Walker, to Utility Pipeline, LTD. Clarion and Walker have historically been reported as a component of the Company’s Natural Gas Operations segment and have, collectively, contributed $212,774, $46,092, and $56,388 to the Company’s pre-tax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The Company does not believe that the sale of Clarion and Walker constitutes a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its operations or financial results and as such, neither of the subsidiaries have classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements, but instead have been classified as assets and liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2014. See Note 25 – Subsequent Events for more information regarding this transaction.
