(1) | The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap and cross currency swap agreements at December 31, 2018 includes $3.2 million (December 31, 2017 – $5.7 million) accrued interest expense which is recorded in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2) | In the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s loans to and equity investments in equity-accounted investees constitute the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s interests in entities accounted for by the equity method. The fair value of the individual components of such aggregate interests is not determinable.
(3) | As at December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the non-interest bearing receivable from Royal Dutch Shell Plc (or Shell) is based on the remaining future fixed payments as well as an estimated discount rate. The estimated fair value of this receivable as of December 31, 2018 was $0.2 million (December 31, 2017 – $3.5 million) using a discount rate of 8.0%. As there is no market rate for the equivalent of an unsecured non-interest bearing receivable from Shell, the discount rate was based on unsecured debt instruments of similar maturity held by the Company, adjusted for a liquidity premium. A higher or lower discount rate would result in a lower or higher fair value asset.
Changes in Fair Value Measured on Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | Changes in fair value during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 for the Company's Brookfield Transaction Warrants, Series D Warrants and the TIL stock purchase warrants, as applicable, which are described above and are measured at fair value on the recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), are as follows:
| Year Ended December 31,
| 2018 $ |  | 2017 $
Fair value at the beginning of the year | 30,749 |  |  | 575 |
Fair value on acquisition/issuance | 2,330 |  |  | 36,596 |
Unrealized loss included in earnings | (21,053 | ) |  | (6,422 | )
Fair value at the end of the year | 12,026 |  |  | 30,749 |
