Discontinued projects of $4 million were recognized as losses on disposal of assets. Other net gains of $1 million consist of a $2 million gain recognized through decommissioning liability adjustments implemented based on a third party consultant review, offset by a $1 million permanent impairment loss on natural gas inventory. It was determined that deliverability at one of the Corporation’s storage facilities was not able to produce all of the natural gas inventory from the facility. 27.
