Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
(Unaudited)
 
1.  
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements of TransCanada Corporation (TransCanada or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as defined in Part V of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook, which is discussed further in Note 2. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in TransCanada's annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, except as disclosed in Note 2. These Consolidated Financial Statements reflect adjustments, all of which are normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods. These Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2010 audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in TransCanada’s 2010 Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, “TransCanada“or “the Company“ includes TransCanada Corporation and its subsidiaries. Capitalized and abbreviated terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein are identified in the Glossary of Terms contained in TransCanada’s 2010 Annual Report. Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
 
In Natural Gas Pipelines, which consists primarily of the Company's investments in regulated natural gas pipelines and regulated natural gas storage facilities, annual revenues and net income fluctuate over the long term based on regulators' decisions and negotiated settlements with shippers. Generally, quarter-over-quarter revenues and net income during any particular fiscal year remain relatively stable with fluctuations resulting from adjustments being recorded due to regulatory decisions and negotiated settlements with shippers, seasonal fluctuations in short-term throughput volumes on U.S. pipelines, acquisitions and divestitures, and developments outside of the normal course of operations.
 
In Oil Pipelines, which consists of the Company’s investment in the Keystone crude oil pipeline, annual revenues are based on contracted crude oil transportation and uncommitted spot transportation. Quarter-over-quarter revenues and net income during any particular fiscal year remain relatively stable with fluctuations resulting from planned and unplanned outages, and changes in the amount of spot volumes transported and the associated rate charged. Spot volumes transported are affected by customer demand, market pricing, planned and unplanned outages of refineries, terminals and pipeline facilities, and developments outside of the normal course of operations.
 
In Energy, which consists primarily of the Company’s investments in electrical power generation plants and non-regulated natural gas storage facilities, quarter-over-quarter revenues and net income are affected by seasonal weather conditions, customer demand, market prices, capacity payments, planned and unplanned plant outages, acquisitions and divestitures, certain fair value adjustments and developments outside of the normal course of operations.
 
In preparing these financial statements, TransCanada is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the amount and timing of recording assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses since the determination of these items may be dependent on future events. The Company uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgement in making these estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Changes in Accounting Policies
 
Changes in Accounting Policies for 2011
 
Business Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-Controlling Interests
 
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 1582 “Business Combinations”, which is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date after January 1, 2011. This standard was amended to require additional use of fair value measurements, recognition of additional assets and liabilities, and increased disclosure. Adopting the standard is expected to have a significant impact on the way the Company accounts for future business combinations. Entities adopting Section 1582 were also required to adopt CICA Handbook Sections 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and 1602 “Non-Controlling Interests”. Sections 1601 and 1602 require Non-Controlling Interests to be presented as part of Equity on the balance sheet. In addition, the income statement of the controlling parent now includes 100 per cent of the subsidiary’s results and presents the allocation of income between the controlling and non-controlling interests. Changes resulting from the adoption of Section 1582 were applied prospectively and changes resulting from the adoption of Sections 1601 and 1602 were applied retrospectively.
 
 
Future Accounting Changes
 
U.S. GAAP/International Financial Reporting Standards
 
The CICA’s Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) previously announced that Canadian publicly accountable enterprises are required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), effective January 1, 2011.
 
In October 2010, the AcSB and the Canadian Securities Administrators amended their policies applicable to Canadian publicly accountable enterprises, such as TransCanada, that use rate-regulated accounting (RRA) in order to permit these entities to defer the adoption of IFRS for one year. TransCanada deferred its adoption and accordingly will continue to prepare its consolidated financial statements in 2011 in accordance with Canadian GAAP, as defined by Part V of the CICA Handbook, in order to continue using RRA.
 
In the application of Canadian GAAP, TransCanada follows specific accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP unique to a rate-regulated business.  These RRA standards allow the timing of recognition of certain revenues and expenses to differ from the timing that may otherwise be expected in a non-rate-regulated business under GAAP in order to appropriately reflect the economic impact of regulators' decisions regarding the Company's revenues and tolls. The IASB has concluded that the development of RRA under IFRS requires further analysis and has removed the RRA project from its current agenda.  TransCanada does not expect a final RRA standard under IFRS to be effective in the foreseeable future.
 
As a registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, TransCanada prepares and files a “Reconciliation to United States GAAP” and has the option under Canadian disclosure rules to prepare and file its consolidated financial statements using U.S. GAAP. As a result of the developments noted above, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the adoption of U.S. GAAP effective January 1, 2012. The accounting policies and financial impact of TransCanada adopting U.S. GAAP are consistent with that currently reported in the “Reconciliation to United States GAAP” and, as a result, significant changes to existing systems and processes are not required to implement U.S. GAAP as the Company’s primary accounting standard.

4.  
Long-Term Debt
 
In August 2011, TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd. made a principal repayment of US$200 million on the US$700 million five-year term loan which matures in 2012.
 
In July 2011, PipeLines LP increased its senior revolving credit facility to US$500 million and extended the maturity date to July 2016. PipeLines LP’s remaining US$300 million term loan matures December 2011 and it is expected it will be refinanced with fixed or floating rate debt at or prior to its maturity.
 
In June 2011, TCPL retired $60 million of 9.5 per cent Medium-Term Notes and, in January 2011, retired $300 million of 4.3 per cent Medium-Term Notes.
 
In June 2011, PipeLines LP issued US$350 million of 4.65 per cent Senior Notes due 2021 and cancelled US$175 million of its unsecured syndicated senior credit facility. The proceeds from the issuance were used to reduce PipeLines LP’s term loan and senior revolving credit facility, and repay its bridge loan facility.
 
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company capitalized interest related to capital projects of $66 million and $231 million, respectively (2010 - $160 million and $437 million).
 
5.  
Equity and Share Capital
 
In May 2011, PipeLines LP completed a public offering of 7,245,000 common units at a price of US$47.58 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately US$345 million. TransCanada contributed an additional approximate US$7 million to maintain its general partnership interest and did not purchase any other units. Upon completion of this offering, TransCanada’s ownership interest in PipeLines LP decreased from 38.2 per cent to 33.3 per cent.
 
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, TransCanada issued nil and 5.4 million (2010 – 2.9 million and 7.8 million) common shares, respectively, under its Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (DRP), in lieu of making cash dividend payments of nil and $202 million, respectively (2010 - $101 million and $271 million). Commencing with the dividends declared April 28, 2011, dividends payable to shareholders who participate in the DRP are satisfied with common shares purchased on the open market determined on the basis of the weighted average purchase price of such common shares.  Previously, common shares issued in lieu of cash dividends under the DRP were issued from treasury.
 
6.  
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
 
TransCanada continues to manage and monitor its exposure to counterparty credit, liquidity and market risk.
 
Counterparty Credit and Liquidity Risk
 
TransCanada’s maximum counterparty credit exposure with respect to financial instruments at the balance sheet date, without taking into account security held, consisted of accounts receivable, portfolio investments recorded at fair value, the fair value of derivative assets, and notes, loans and advances receivable. The carrying amounts and fair values of these financial assets, except amounts for derivative assets, are included in Accounts Receivable and Other, and Available-For-Sale Assets in the Non-Derivative Financial Instruments Summary table below. Guarantees, letters of credit and cash are the primary types of security provided to support these amounts. The majority of counterparty credit exposure is with counterparties who are investment grade. At September 30, 2011, there were no significant amounts past due or impaired.
 

 
 

TRANSCANADA [47
THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2011

At September 30, 2011, the Company had a credit risk concentration of $271 million due from a creditworthy counterparty. This amount is expected to be fully collectible and is secured by a guarantee from the counterparty’s parent company.
 
The Company continues to manage its liquidity risk by ensuring sufficient cash and credit facilities are available to meet its operating and capital expenditure obligations when due, under both normal and stressed economic conditions.
 
Natural Gas Storage Commodity Price Risk
 
At September 30, 2011, the fair value of proprietary natural gas inventory held in storage, as measured using a weighted average of forward prices for the following four months less selling costs, was $40 million (December 31, 2010 - $49 million). The change in the fair value adjustment of proprietary natural gas inventory in storage in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in net pre-tax unrealized losses of $1 million and nil, respectively (2010 – nil and losses of $20 million, respectively), which were recorded as adjustments to Revenues and Inventories. The change in fair value of natural gas forward purchase and sale contracts in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in net pre-tax unrealized losses of $3 million and $13 million, respectively (2010 – gains of $7 million and $12 million, respectively), which were included in Revenues.
 
VaR Analysis
 
TransCanada uses a Value-at-Risk (VaR) methodology to estimate the potential impact from its exposure to market risk on its liquid open positions. VaR represents the potential change in pre-tax earnings over a given holding period. It is calculated assuming a 95 per cent confidence level that the daily change resulting from normal market fluctuations in its open positions will not exceed the reported VaR. Although losses are not expected to exceed the statistically estimated VaR on 95 per cent of occasions, losses on the other five per cent of occasions could be substantially greater than the estimated VaR. TransCanada’s consolidated VaR was $7 million at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $12 million). The decrease in VAR is primarily a result of lower price volatility in Western Power.
 
Net Investment in Self-Sustaining Foreign Operations
 
The Company hedges its net investment in self-sustaining foreign operations (on an after-tax basis) with U.S. dollar-denominated debt, cross-currency interest rate swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange options. At September 30, 2011, the Company had designated as a net investment hedge U.S. dollar-denominated debt with a carrying value of $10 billion (US$10 billion) and a fair value of $12 billion (US$12 billion). At September 30, 2011, $66 million was included in Other Current Assets, $41 million (December 31, 2010 - $181 million) was included in Intangible and Other Assets, $44 million was included in Accounts Payable, and $83 million was included in Deferred Amounts for the fair value of forwards and swaps used to hedge the Company’s net U.S. dollar investment in foreign operations.

Volumes for power and natural gas derivatives are in GWh and Bcf, respectively.

 
 

TRANSCANADA [50
THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2011

(4)  
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on financial held-for-trading derivatives used to purchase and sell power and natural gas are included on a net basis in Revenues. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate and foreign exchange derivative financial instruments held-for-trading are included in Interest Expense and Interest Income and Other, respectively. The effective portion of unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments in cash flow hedging relationships is initially recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and reclassified to Revenues, Interest Expense and Interest Income and Other, as appropriate, as the original hedged item settles.
(5)  
All hedging relationships are designated as cash flow hedges except for interest rate derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges with a fair value of $18 million and a notional amount of US$350 million at September 30, 2011. Net realized gains on fair value hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $1 million and $5 million, respectively, and were included in Interest Expense. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company did not record any amounts in Net Income related to ineffectiveness for fair value hedges.
(6)  
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Net Income included gains of $1 million and nil, respectively, for changes in the fair value of power and natural gas cash flow hedges that were ineffective in offsetting the change in fair value of their related underlying positions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no gains or losses included in Net Income for discontinued cash flow hedges. No amounts have been excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

As at December 31, 2010.
(3)  
Volumes for power and natural gas derivatives are in GWh and Bcf, respectively.
(4)  
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on financial held-for-trading derivatives used to purchase and sell power and natural gas are included on a net basis in Revenues. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate and foreign exchange derivative financial instruments held for trading are included in Interest Expense and Interest Income and Other, respectively. The effective portion of unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments in cash flow hedging relationships is initially recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and reclassified to Revenues, Interest Expense and Interest Income and Other, as appropriate, as the original hedged item settles.
(5)  
All hedging relationships are designated as cash flow hedges except for interest rate derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges with a fair value of $8 million and a notional amount of US$250 million at December 31, 2010. Net realized gains on fair value hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $1 million and $3 million, respectively, and were included in Interest Expense. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company did not record any amounts in Net Income related to ineffectiveness for fair value hedges.

(6)  
Losses included in Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were nil and $1 million, respectively, for changes in the fair value of power and natural gas cash flow hedges that were ineffective in offsetting the change in fair value of their related underlying positions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, there were no gains or losses included in Net Income for discontinued cash flow hedges. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Fair Value Hierarchy
 
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized into three categories based on a fair value hierarchy. In Level I, the fair value of assets and liabilities is determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. In Level II, determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities includes valuations using inputs, other than quoted prices, for which all significant inputs are observable, directly or indirectly. This category includes fair value determined using valuation techniques such as option pricing models and extrapolation using observable inputs. In Level III, determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities is based on inputs that are not readily observable and are significant to the overall fair value measurement. Long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets are included in this category. Long-dated commodity prices are derived with a third-party modelling tool that uses market fundamentals to derive long-term prices.

(1)  
The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities is presented on a net basis.
(2)  
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no amounts  (2010 – gain of $1 million and nil, respectively), included in Net Income attributable to derivatives that were entered into during the period and still held at the reporting date.
(3)  
As contracts near maturity and inputs become observable, they are transferred out of Level III and into Level II.
 
A 10 per cent increase or decrease in commodity prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in a $10 million decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of derivative financial instruments included in Level III and outstanding as at September 30, 2011.

Dispositions
 
On May 3, 2011, the Company completed the sale of a 25 per cent interest in each of Gas Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN LLC) and Bison Pipeline LLC (Bison LLC) to PipeLines LP for an aggregate purchase price of US$605 million, subject to closing adjustments, which included US$81 million of long-term debt, or 25 per cent of GTN LLC debt outstanding. GTN LLC and Bison LLC own the GTN and Bison natural gas pipelines, respectively.
 
On May 3, 2011, PipeLines LP completed an underwritten public offering of 7,245,000 common units, including 945,000 common units purchased by the underwriters upon full exercise of an over-allotment option, at US$47.58 per unit. Gross proceeds of approximately US$345 million from this offering were used to partially fund the acquisition. The acquisition was also funded by draws of US$61 million on PipeLines LP’s bridge loan facility and of US$125 million on its US$250 million senior revolving credit facility.
 
As part of this offering, TransCanada made a capital contribution of approximately US$7 million to maintain its two per cent general partnership interest in PipeLines LP and did not purchase any other units. As a result of the common units offering, TransCanada's ownership in PipeLines LP decreased from 38.2 per cent to 33.3 per cent and an after-tax dilution gain of $30 million ($50 million pre-tax) was recorded in Contributed Surplus.

Contingencies
 
Amounts received under the Bruce B floor price mechanism within a calendar year are subject to repayment if the monthly average spot price exceeds the floor price. With respect to 2011, TransCanada currently expects spot prices to be less than the floor price for the remainder of the year, therefore no amounts recorded in revenues in the first nine months of 2011 are expected to be repaid.
