THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2016
Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements of TransCanada Corporation (TransCanada or the Company), which now includes Columbia Pipeline Group (Columbia) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in TransCanada’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except as described in Note 2, Accounting changes. Capitalized and abbreviated terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein are identified in TransCanada’s 2015 Annual Report.
These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments, all of which are normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2015 audited consolidated financial statements included in TransCanada’s 2015 Annual Report. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year in the Company’s Natural Gas Pipelines segment due to the timing of regulatory decisions and seasonal fluctuations in short-term throughput volumes on U.S. pipelines. Earnings for interim periods may also not be indicative of results for the fiscal year in the Company’s Energy segment due to the impact of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand and market pricing in certain of the Company’s investments in electrical power generation plants and non-regulated gas storage facilities.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
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 fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination accounted for under the acquisition method are also subject to estimates and judgement. The Company uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgement in making these estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the Company’s significant accounting policies included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except as described in Note 2, Accounting changes.
2. Accounting changes
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR 2016
Extraordinary and unusual income statement items
In January 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on extraordinary and unusual income statement items. This update eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. This new guidance was effective January 1, 2016, was applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
TRANSCANADA [67
THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2016
Consolidation
In February 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on consolidation. This update requires that entities re-evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities and eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. This new guidance was effective January 1, 2016, was applied retrospectively and did not result in any change to the Company's consolidation conclusions. Disclosure requirements outlined in the new guidance are included in Note 16, Variable Interest Entities.
Imputation of interest
In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on simplifying the accounting for debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with debt discounts or premiums. This new guidance was effective January 1, 2016, was applied retrospectively and resulted in a reclassification of debt issuance costs previously recorded in Intangible and other assets to an offset of their respective debt liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Business combinations
In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance which intends to simplify the accounting measurement period adjustments in business combinations. The amended guidance requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to the provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. In the period the adjustment was determined, the guidance also requires the acquirer to record the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This new guidance was effective January 1, 2016, was applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Revenue from contracts with customers
In 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. This guidance supersedes the current revenue recognition requirements and most industry-specific guidance. This new guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this new standard to January 1, 2018, with early adoption not permitted before January 1, 2017. There are two methods in which the amendment can be applied: (1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or (2) retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently identifying existing customer contracts or groups of contracts that are within the scope of the new guidance and has begun an assessment in order to determine any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Inventory
In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. The amendments in this update specify that an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2017 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Financial instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities. The new guidance will change the income statement effect of equity investments and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The new guidance also requires the Company to assess
TRANSCANADA [68
THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2016
valuation allowances for deferred tax assets related to available-for-sale debt securities in combination with their other deferred tax assets. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance and has not yet determined the effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. In addition, lessees may be required to reassess assumptions associated with existing leases as well as to provide expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The new standard does not make extensive changes to lessor accounting. The new guidance is effective January 1, 2019 and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently identifying existing lease agreements that are within the scope of the new guidance that may have an impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this new standard.
Derivatives and hedging
In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call or put options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. The new guidance requires only an assessment of the four-step decision sequence outlined in GAAP to determine whether the economic characteristics and risks of call or put options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2017 and the Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Equity method investments
In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the transition to equity method accounting. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to retroactively apply the equity method of accounting when an increase in ownership interest in an investment qualifies it for equity method accounting. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2017 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Employee share-based payments
In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also permits entities to make an accounting policy election either to continue to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered or to account for forfeitures when they occur. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2017 and the Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance amends the impairment model of financial instruments basing it on expected losses rather than incurred losses. These expected credit losses will be recognized as an allowance rather than a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis. The new guidance is effective January 1, 2020 and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance and has not yet determined the effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments
In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments. These include debt pre-payments or extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a
TRANSCANADA [69
THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2016
business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance and distributions received from equity method investees. The new guidance is effective January 1, 2018 and will be applied using a retrospective approach. The new guidance also specifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Acquisition of Columbia
On July 1, 2016, TransCanada acquired 100 per cent ownership of Columbia for a purchase price of US$10.3 billion in cash, based on US$25.50 per share for all of Columbia's outstanding common shares as well as restricted and performance stock units. The acquisition was financed through proceeds of approximately $4.4 billion from the sale of subscription receipts, draws on committed bridge term loan credit facilities in the aggregate amount of US$6.9 billion and existing cash on hand. The sale of the subscription receipts was completed on April 1, 2016 through a public offering. Upon closing of the acquisition, the subscription receipts were exchanged into approximately 96.6 million common shares of TransCanada. Refer to Note 7, Long-term debt for additional information on the bridge term loan credit facilities and Note 10, Equity and share capital for additional information on the subscription receipts.
Columbia operates a portfolio of approximately 24,000 km of regulated natural gas pipelines, 300 Bcf of natural gas storage facilities and related midstream assets in various regions in the U.S. TransCanada acquired Columbia to expand the Company’s natural gas business in the U.S. market, positioning the Company for additional long-term growth opportunities.
TRANSCANADA [71
THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2016
The Goodwill of $10.1 billion (US$7.7 billion) arising from the acquisition consists largely of the opportunities to expand the Company’s natural gas pipelines segment in the U.S. market and to gain a stronger competitive position in the North American natural gas business. The Goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method where the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price equation reflects management’s estimate of the fair value of Columbia’s assets and liabilities as at July 1, 2016.

Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired | 2,545 | 3,312 | ||||

The fair values of current assets including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories and other and the fair values of current liabilities including notes payable and accrued interest approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these items. Certain acquisition related working capital items resulted in an adjustment to accounts payable and other.
Columbia’s natural gas pipelines are subject to FERC regulations and, as a result, their rate bases are expected to be recovered with a reasonable rate of return over the life of the assets. These assets, as well as related regulatory assets and liabilities, have fair values equal to their carrying values. The fair value of mineral rights included in Columbia's plant, property and equipment was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach which resulted in a fair value increase of $241 million (US$185 million). The Company utilized an independent third party valuation in the assessment of fair value. The fair value of base gas included in Columbia’s plant, property and equipment was determined by using quoted market prices multiplied by the volume of gas in place which resulted in a fair value increase of $836 million (US$642 million).
The fair value of Columbia’s long-term debt was estimated using an income approach based on quoted market prices for similar debt instruments from external data service providers. This resulted in a fair value increase of $300 million (US$231 million).
The following table summarizes the fair value of Columbia's debt acquired by TransCanada.

The fair values of Columbia's defined pension benefit plan and OPEB plans were based on an actuarial valuation report as of the acquisition date. The fair value representing the funded status of the plans on the acquisition date resulted in an increase of $15 million (US$12 million) and $5 million (US$4 million) to Regulatory assets and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, and a decrease of $14 million (US$11 million) and $2 million (US$2 million) to Intangible and other assets and Regulatory liabilities, respectively.
Temporary differences created as a result of the fair value changes described above resulted in deferred tax assets and liabilities that were recorded at the Company's U.S. effective tax rate of 39 per cent.
The fair value of Columbia’s non-controlling interest is based on the approximately 53.8 million Columbia Pipeline Partners LP common units outstanding to the public as of June 30, 2016, and valued at the June 30, 2016 closing price of US$15.00 per common unit.
Acquisition expenses of approximately $36 million are included in Plant operating costs and other in the condensed consolidated statement of income.
Upon completing the acquisition, the Company began consolidating Columbia. Columbia’s significant accounting policies are consistent with TransCanada’s and continue to be applied. Columbia contributed $427 million (US$327 million) to revenues and $55 million (US$42 million) to net income from the acquisition date to September 30, 2016.
The following supplemental unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 includes the results of operations for Columbia as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2015.

5. Goodwill and other asset impairments
Goodwill impairment
TransCanada tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. As a result of information received during the process to monetize the Company’s U.S. Northeast Power business in third quarter 2016, it was determined that the fair value of Ravenswood did not exceed its carrying value, including goodwill, at September 30, 2016. The fair value of Ravenswood was determined using a combination of methods including a discounted cash flow approach and a range of expected consideration from a potential sale. The expected cash flows were discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate to determine the fair value. Plant, property and equipment was also tested for impairment. As a result, at September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge on the full goodwill amount of $1,085 million ($656 million after-tax) related to the Ravenswood facility within the Energy segment and also determined there was no impairment on the plant, property and equipment.
Power Purchase Arrangements
On March 7, 2016, TransCanada issued notice to the Balancing Pool of the decision to terminate its Sheerness and Sundance A PPAs. In accordance with a provision in the PPAs, a buyer is permitted to terminate the arrangement if a change in law occurs that makes the arrangement unprofitable or more unprofitable. As a result of recent changes in law surrounding the Alberta Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, the Company expects increasing costs related to carbon emissions to continue throughout the remaining terms of the PPAs resulting in increasing unprofitabilty. As such, at March 31, 2016, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $211 million ($155 million after-tax) in its Energy segment, which represents the carrying value of the PPAs.
On March 7, 2016, TransCanada also issued notice to the Balancing Pool of the decision to terminate its Sundance B PPA. The Sundance B PPA is held in the ASTC Power Partnership in which the Company holds a 50 per cent ownership interest. As a result, at March 31, 2016 the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $29 million ($21 million after-tax) in its Energy segment, which represents the carrying value of the equity investment. This impairment charge is included in Income from equity investments on the condensed consolidated statement of income.
6. Income taxes
At September 30, 2016, the total unrecognized tax benefit of uncertain tax positions was approximately $20 million (December 31, 2015 - $17 million). TransCanada recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties in income tax expense. Included in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is nil for interest expense and nil for penalties (September 30, 2015 - nil for interest expense and nil for penalties). At September 30, 2016, the Company had $4 million accrued for interest expense and nil accrued for penalties (December 31, 2015 - $4 million accrued for interest expense and nil for penalties).
The effective tax rates for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were 10 per cent and 32 per cent, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in 2016 was primarily the result of lower flow-through taxes in 2016 on Canadian regulated pipelines, changes in the proportion of income earned between Canadian and foreign jurisdictions and the goodwill impairment charge.

1 | The Junior subordinated unsecured notes are subordinated in right of payment to existing and future senior indebtedness or other obligations of TCPL and are callable at TCPL's option at any time on or after August 15, 2026 at 100 per cent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. |
2 | The Junior subordinated notes were issued to TransCanada Trust. The interest rate is fixed at 6.125 per cent per annum and will reset starting August 2026 until August 2046 to the three month LIBOR plus 4.89 per cent per annum; from August 2046 to August 2076 the interest rate will reset to the three month LIBOR plus 5.64 per cent per annum. |
On August 16, 2016, TransCanada Trust (the Trust), a 100 per cent owned financing trust subsidiary of TCPL, issued US$1.2 billion of Trust Notes - Series 2016-A (Trust Notes) to third party investors with a fixed interest rate of 5.875 per cent for the first ten years converting to a floating rate thereafter. All of the proceeds of the issuance by the Trust were loaned to TCPL through the subscription for US$1.2 billion of junior subordinated notes of TCPL at a rate of 6.125 per cent which includes a 0.25 per cent administration charge. While the obligations of the Trust are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by TCPL on a subordinated basis, the Trust is not consolidated in TransCanada's financial statements because TCPL does not have a variable interest in the Trust and the only substantive assets of the Trust are receivables from TCPL.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Notes and related agreements, in certain circumstances (1) TCPL may issue deferral preferred shares to holders of the Trust Notes in lieu of interest; and (2) TransCanada and TCPL would be prohibited from declaring or paying dividends on or redeeming their outstanding preferred shares (or, if none are outstanding, their respective common shares) until all deferral preferred shares are redeemed by TCPL. The Trust Notes may also be automatically exchanged for preferred shares of TCPL upon certain kinds of bankruptcy and insolvency events. All of these preferred shares would rank equally with any other outstanding first preferred shares of TCPL.
9. Common units of TC PipeLines, LP subject to rescission
In connection with the late filing of an employee-related Form 8-K with the SEC, in March 2016, TC PipeLines, LP became ineligible to use the then effective shelf registration statement upon the filing of its 2015 Annual Report. As a result, it was determined that the purchasers of the 1.6 million common units that were issued from March 8, 2016 to May 19, 2016 under the TC PipeLines, LP ATM program may have a rescission right for an amount equal to the purchase price paid for the units, plus statutory interest and less any distributions paid, upon the return of such units to TC PipeLines, LP. No unitholder has claimed or attempted to exercise any rescission rights to date and these rights expire one year from the date of purchase of the unit.
At September 30, 2016, $106 million (US$82 million) was recorded as Common Units of TC PipeLines, LP Subject to Rescission on the Condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company classified these 1.6 million common units outside Equity because the potential rescission rights of the units are not within the control of the Company.

10. Equity and share capital
COMMON SHARES
In January 2016, the Company repurchased and cancelled 305,407 of its common shares at an average price of $44.90 for a total of $14 million (weighted average cost of $6 million). The difference of $8 million between the total price paid and the weighted average cost was recorded in Additional paid-in capital.
On April 1, 2016, the Company issued 96.6 million subscription receipts to partially fund the Columbia acquisition at a price of $45.75 each for total proceeds of approximately $4.4 billion. Holders of subscription receipts received one common share in exchange for each subscription receipt upon closing of the Columbia acquisition. On April 29, 2016, holders of record at close of business on April 15, 2016 received a cash payment per subscription receipt that was equal to dividends declared on each common share. A second dividend equivalent payment was made on July 29, 2016 to holders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, $109 million of dividend equivalent payments was recorded as interest expense.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP), eligible holders of common and preferred shares of TransCanada can reinvest their dividends and make optional cash payments to obtain TransCanada common shares. Commencing with dividends declared on July 27, 2016, common shares will be issued from treasury at a discount of two per cent.
PREFERRED SHARES
On February 1, 2016, holders of 1.3 million Series 5 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares exercised their option to convert to Series 6 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares and receive quarterly floating rate cumulative dividends at an annual rate equal to the applicable 90-day Government of Canada treasury bill rate plus 1.54 per cent which will reset every quarter going forward. The fixed dividend rate on the remaining Series 5 preferred shares was reset for five years at 2.263 per cent per annum. Such rate will reset every five years.
On April 20, 2016, the Company completed a public offering of 20 million Series 13 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares at $25 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $500 million. The Series 13 preferred shareholders will have the right to convert their Series 13 preferred shares into Series 14 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares on May 31, 2021 and on the last business day of May of every fifth year thereafter. The holders of Series 14 preferred shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative dividends at an annual rate equal to the sum of the applicable 90-day Government of Canada treasury bill rate plus 4.69 per cent. The fixed dividend rate on the Series 13 preferred shares was set for five years at 5.5 per cent per annum. The dividend rate will reset every five years at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable five-year Government of Canada bond yield plus 4.69 per cent but not less than 5.5 per cent per annum.

13. Risk management and financial instruments
RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
TransCanada has exposure to market risk and counterparty credit risk, and has strategies, policies and limits in place to manage the impact of these risks on earnings and cash flow.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
TransCanada’s maximum counterparty credit exposure with respect to financial instruments at September 30, 2016, without taking into account security held, consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, available for sale assets recorded at fair value, the fair value of derivative assets, notes, loans and advances receivable. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable and records an allowance for doubtful accounts as necessary using the specific identification method. At September 30, 2016, there were no significant amounts past due or impaired, and there were no significant credit losses during the period.
The Company had a credit risk concentration due from a counterparty of $191 million (US$146 million) at September 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015 - $248 million (US$179 million)). This amount is expected to be fully collectible and is secured by a guarantee from the counterparty’s investment grade parent company.
NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The Company hedges its net investment in foreign operations (on an after-tax basis) with U.S. dollar-denominated debt, cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Non-derivative financial instruments
Fair value of non-derivative financial instruments
The fair value of the Company's Notes receivable is calculated by discounting future payments of interest and principal using forward interest rates. The fair value of Long-term debt and Junior subordinated notes is estimated using an income approach based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments from external data service providers.
Available for sale assets are recorded at fair value which is calculated using quoted market prices where available. Certain non-derivative financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, intangible and other assets, notes payable, accounts payable and other, accrued interest and other long-term liabilities have carrying amounts that approximate their fair value due to the nature of the item or the short time to maturity and would also be classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy.
Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of non-derivative instruments.
Balance sheet presentation of non-derivative financial instruments
The following table details the fair value of the non-derivative financial instruments, excluding those where carrying amounts approximate fair value, and would be classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy:

2 | Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost except for US$800 million (December 31, 2015 - US$850 million) that is attributed to hedged risk and recorded at fair value. |
3 | Consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 included unrealized gains of $7 million and losses of $6 million, respectively, (2015 - losses of $9 million and $9 million, respectively) for fair value adjustments attributable to the hedged interest rate risk associated with interest rate swap fair value hedging relationships on US$800 million of long-term debt at September 30, 2016 |

2 | Unrealized gains and losses on other restricted investments are included in OCI. |
Derivative instruments
Fair value of derivative instruments
The fair value of foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives has been calculated using the income approach which uses period end market rates and applies a discounted cash flow valuation model. The fair value of commodity derivatives has been calculated using quoted market prices where available. In the absence of quoted market prices, third-party broker quotes or other valuation techniques have been used. The fair value of options has been calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of derivative instruments.
In some cases, even though the derivatives are considered to be effective economic hedges, they do not meet the specific criteria for hedge accounting treatment or are not designated as a hedge and are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income in the period of change. This may expose the Company to increased variability in reported earnings because the fair value of the derivative instruments can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

With respect to the derivative instruments presented above as at September 30, 2016, the Company provided cash collateral of $228 million (December 31, 2015 - $482 million) and letters of credit of $11 million (December 31, 2015 - $41 million) to its counterparties. The Company held nil (December 31, 2015 - nil) in cash collateral and $3 million (December 31, 2015 - $2 million) in letters of credit from counterparties on asset exposures at September 30, 2016.
Credit risk related contingent features of derivative instruments
Derivative contracts entered into to manage market risk often contain financial assurance provisions that allow parties to the contracts to manage credit risk. These provisions may require collateral to be provided if a credit-risk-related contingent event occurs, such as a downgrade in the Company’s credit rating to non-investment grade.
Based on contracts in place and market prices at September 30, 2016, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $24 million (December 31, 2015 - $32 million), for which the Company had provided collateral in the normal course of business of nil (December 31, 2015 - nil). If the credit-risk-related contingent features in these agreements were triggered on September 30, 2016, the Company would have been required to provide additional collateral of $24 million (December 31, 2015 - $32 million) to its counterparties. Collateral may also need to be provided should the fair value of derivative instruments exceed pre-defined contractual exposure limit thresholds.
The Company has sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and undrawn committed revolving credit facilities to meet these contingent obligations should they arise.

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.
Levels | How fair value has been determined |
Level I | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
Level II | Valuation based on the extrapolation of inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level I, for which all significant inputs are observable directly or indirectly. Inputs include published exchange rates, interest rates, interest rate swap curves, yield curves and broker quotes from external data service providers. This category includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using the income approach and commodity derivatives where fair value is determined using the market approach. Transfers between Level I and Level II would occur when there is a change in market circumstances. |
Level III | Valuation of assets and liabilities are measured using a market approach based on extrapolation of inputs that are unobservable or where observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivative's fair value. This category mainly includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low and the Company uses the most observable inputs available or, if not available, long-term broker quotes to estimate the fair value for these transactions. Valuation of options is based on the Black-Scholes pricing model. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value can fluctuate between Level II and Level III depending on the proportion of the value of the contract that extends beyond the time frame for which significant inputs are considered to be observable. As contracts near maturity and observable market data becomes available, they are transferred out of Level III and into Level II. |
The fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, including both current and non-current portions for 2016, are categorized as follows:

A 10 per cent increase or decrease in commodity prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in a $2 million decrease or increase in the fair value of outstanding derivative instruments included in Level III as at September 30, 2016.
14. Other acquisitions and dispositions
Natural Gas Pipelines
Portland Natural Gas Transmission System
On January 1, 2016, TransCanada completed the sale of a 49.9 per cent interest in Portland Natural Gas Transmission System (PNGTS) to TC PipeLines, LP for an aggregate purchase price of US$223 million. Proceeds were comprised of US$188 million in cash and the assumption of US$35 million in proportional PNGTS debt.

THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2016
Iroquois Gas Transmission System LP
On March 31, 2016, TransCanada acquired a 4.87 per cent interest in Iroquois for an aggregate purchase price of US$53.8 million, increasing TransCanada’s interest in Iroquois to 49.35 per cent. On May 1, 2016, the Company acquired an additional 0.65 per cent interest for an aggregate purchase price of US$7.2 million, further increasing TransCanada’s interest in Iroquois to 50 per cent.
TC Offshore LLC
On March 31, 2016, TransCanada completed the sale of TC Offshore LLC to a third party. This resulted in an additional loss on disposal of $4 million pre-tax which is included in loss of sale of assets in the condensed consolidated statement of income.
Energy
Ironwood
On February 1, 2016, TransCanada acquired the Ironwood natural gas fired, combined cycle power plant in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, with a capacity of 778 MW, for US$653 million in cash after post-acquisition adjustments. The Ironwood power plant delivers energy into the PJM power market. The evaluation of assigned fair value of acquired assets and liabilities did not result in the recognition of goodwill. The Company began consolidating Ironwood as of the date of acquisition which has not had a material impact on the consolidated revenues and net income of the Company. In addition, the pro forma incremental impact on the Company’s consolidated revenues and net income for each of the periods presented is not material.
15. Commitments and guarantees
TransCanada and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
COMMITMENTS
TransCanada’s commitments at December 31, 2015 included fixed payments, net of sublease receipts for Alberta PPAs. As a result of the March 7, 2016 notice to terminate our Sheerness, Sundance A and Sundance B PPAs, our future obligations from December 31, 2015 have decreased by: 2016 - $195 million, 2017 - $200 million, 2018 - $141 million, 2019 - $138 million and 2020 - $115 million. Our commitments for 2021 and beyond increased by approximately $0.5 billion as a result of the extension of premise leases in second quarter 2016. The acquisition of Columbia on July 1, 2016 resulted in a total increase to our obligations of $349 million for transportation contracts and premise leases.
GUARANTEES
TransCanada and its joint venture partner on Bruce Power, BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust, have each severally guaranteed certain contingent financial obligations of Bruce Power related to a lease agreement and contractor and supplier services. The Company’s exposure under certain of these guarantees is unlimited.
The Company and its partners in certain other jointly owned entities have either (i) jointly and severally, (ii) jointly or (iii) severally guaranteed the financial performance of these entities. Such agreements include guarantees and letters of credit which are primarily related to delivery of natural gas, construction services including purchase agreements and the payment of liabilities. For certain of these entities, any payments made by TransCanada under these guarantees in excess of its ownership interest are to be reimbursed by its partners.

16. Variable interest entities
As a result of the implementation of the new FASB guidance on consolidation, a number of entities controlled by TransCanada are now considered to be variable interest entities (VIEs). A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity.
In the normal course of business, the Company consolidates VIEs in which it has a variable interest and for which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs in which the Company has a variable interest but is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for as equity investments.
Consolidated VIEs
The Company's consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where the Company has the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact economic performance including purchasing or selling significant assets; maintenance and operations of assets; incurring additional indebtedness; or determining the strategic operating direction of the entity. In addition, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the consolidated VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
A significant portion of the Company’s assets are held through VIEs in which the Company holds a 100 per cent voting interest, the VIE meets the definition of a business and the VIE’s assets can be used for general corporate purposes. The assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs whose assets cannot be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE’s obligations are as follows:

Non-Consolidated VIEs
The Company’s non-consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs or where this power is shared with third parties. The Company contributes capital to these VIEs and receives ownership interests that provide it with residual claims on assets after liabilities are paid.
The carrying value of these VIEs and the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company's involvement with these VIEs are as follows:

17. Subsequent events
Assets held for sale
The Company’s planned monetization of the U.S. Northeast Power business, for the purposes of permanently financing the Columbia acquisition, includes the sale of Ravenswood, Ironwood, Kibby Wind, Ocean State Power, TC Hydro and the marketing business, TransCanada Power Marketing (TCPM). On November 1, 2016, subsequent to the balance sheet date the Company entered into agreements to sell all of these assets except the marketing business, the value from which is still expected to be realized going forward.
The sale of Ravenswood, Ironwood, Kibby Wind and Ocean State Power to a third party is expected to close in the first half of 2017. As a result, effective November 1, 2016, the related assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale in the Energy segment and will be recorded at their fair values less costs to sell. This is expected to result in a loss on assets held for sale of approximately $899 million in fourth quarter 2016 or $863 million after tax which includes the reclassification of an estimated $61 million of foreign currency translation gains from AOCI to net income.
The sale of TC Hydro to another third party is also expected to close in the first half of 2017 resulting in an estimated gain of $719 million or $443 million after tax which includes the reclassification of an estimated $4 million of foreign currency translation gains from AOCI to net income. This gain will be recognized upon closing of the sale transaction. Effective November 1, 2016, the related assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale in the Energy segment.
As of November 1, 2016, TCPM does not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.
The following table details the assets and liabilities as at September 30, 2016 related to the U.S. Northeast Power business that are classified as held for sale effective November 1, 2016. The expected loss on assets held for sale of approximately $899 million (US$686 million) is not reflected in the table below.
