Contingent consideration 1 |  | 3 |
| 1 |  | The contingent future payment of up to US$17 million is dependent upon NGR’s ability to deliver specified volumes into MEP’s system over a five-year period. The fair value of the contingent future consideration at the acquisition date was $3 million (US$2 million). During the first quarter of 2016, and upon subsequent reassessments, MEP determined, based on current and forecasted volumes, that it is remote that MEP will be obligated to make any payments at the expiration of the five-year period. Consequently, the liability was reversed and a $4 million (US$3 million) gain was recognized as a reduction to “Operating and administrative” expense, which is reflected in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2016.
