(a)	Certain preferred stocks and fixed income debt securities (corporate, government, and securitized) are stated at fair value as determined by broker quotes.
(b)	Common stocks, treasury notes and bonds, and certain preferred stocks and fixed income debt securities are stated at fair value determined by quoted market prices.
(c)	The common collective trusts hold investments in accordance with stated objectives.  The investment strategy of the trusts is to capture the growth potential of equity markets by replicating the performance of a specified index.  Net asset value per share of the common collective trusts estimate fair value.
(d)	The registered investment company is a money market mutual fund with a stable net asset value of one dollar per share.
(e)	The registered investment company holds investments in domestic and international bond markets and estimates fair value using net asset value per share.
(f)	The other remaining assets are U.S. municipal and foreign government bonds stated at fair value as determined by broker quotes.
(g)	The unallocated insurance contract investments are recorded at contract value, which approximates fair value.  The contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest, less funds used to pay benefits and contract expenses, and less distributions to the master trust.
