(a) Includes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting arrangements and the netting of margin cash collateral payments and receipts. NEE and FPL also have contract settlement receivable and payable balances that are subject to the master netting arrangements but are not offset within the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded in customer receivables - net and accounts payable, respectively.

(b) Includes restricted cash equivalents of approximately $68 million ($61 million for FPL) in current other assets and $62 million ($62 million for FPL) in noncurrent other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(c) Excludes investments accounted for under the equity method and loans not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See Fair Value of Financial Instruments Recorded at Other than Fair Value below.

(d) Primarily invested in commingled funds whose underlying securities would be Level 1 if those securities were held directly by NEE or FPL.

(e) Included in noncurrent other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(f) See Note 4 - Fair Value of Derivative Instruments for a reconciliation of net derivatives to NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Significant unobservable inputs used in valuation of contracts categorized as Level 3

The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of NEE's commodity contracts categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2019 are as follows:

		Fair Value at								Valuation		Significant
Transaction Type		March 31, 2019								Technique(s)		Unobservable Inputs		Range

Fair Value, Net Derivative Asset (Liability) Measured on Recurring Basis, Unobservable Input Reconciliation

The sensitivity of NEE's fair value measurements to increases (decreases) in the significant unobservable inputs is as follows:

Significant Unobservable Input		Position		Impact on Fair Value Measurement
Forward price		Purchase power/gas		Increase (decrease)
		Sell power/gas		Decrease (increase)
Implied correlations		Purchase option		Decrease (increase)
		Sell option		Increase (decrease)

Customer migration rate		Sell power(a)		Decrease (increase)

(a)  Assumes the contract is in a gain position.

Reconciliation of changes in the fair value measured based on significant unobservable inputs

The reconciliation of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are based on significant unobservable inputs is as follows:

Gains (losses) included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to derivatives held at the reporting date(d)	$	116			$	—			$	19			$	—

———————————————

(a) For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, realized and unrealized gains of approximately $194 million and $26 million, respectively, are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues and the balance is included in interest expense.

(b) Included in net unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translation in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

(c) Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were a result of increased observability of market data. NEE's and FPL's policy is to recognize all transfers at the beginning of the reporting period.

(d) For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, unrealized gains of approximately $130 million and $29 million, respectively, are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues and the balance is included in interest expense.

Fair Value, by Balance Sheet Grouping

The carrying amounts of commercial paper and other short-term debt approximate their fair values. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of other financial instruments recorded at other than fair value are as follows:

	March 31, 2019								December 31, 2018
	Carrying Amount				Estimated Fair Value				Carrying Amount				Estimated Fair Value
	(millions)
