(a) | In conjunction with the preparation of our June 30, 2016 Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet, we identified and corrected the presentation of $126 million of tax-exempt bonds previously reported in Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries’ rather than WM’s “Long-term debt, less current portion,” which had corresponding impacts on “Advances to affiliates” and “Due to affiliates.” This immaterial correction has been reflected in our 2016 Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements.

(b) | In conjunction with the preparation of our September 30, 2016 Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet, we identified $5.9 billion of intercompany loans between WM and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries previously included in “Due to affiliates” and “Advances to affiliates” that based on intent are not expected to be collected, and as such are being presented as part of “Equity” in WM’s and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries’ balance sheet. Accordingly, the 2015 Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet included herein has been revised to reflect this presentation.
