(1)             In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Condensed Statement of Consolidated Income, Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows and Consolidated Balance Sheet of TransCanada are prepared using the equity method of accounting for joint ventures.

(2)             Other expenses included an allowance for funds used during construction of $6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (September 30, 2005 – $2 million).

(3)             All foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at fair value under Canadian GAAP.  Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities”, all derivatives are recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value.  For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings together with an equal or lesser amount of changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative that are effective in offsetting the hedged risk are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value is also recognized in earnings each period.  Substantially all of the amounts recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 as differences between U.S. and Canadian GAAP, for income from continuing operations, relate to the differences in accounting treatment with respect to the hedged item and, for comprehensive income, relate to cash flow hedges.

                           Substantially all of the amounts recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 as differences between U.S. and Canadian GAAP in respect of energy contracts relate to gains and losses on derivative energy contracts for periods before they were documented as hedges for purposes of U.S. GAAP and to differences in accounting with respect to physical energy contracts.

(4)             Under Canadian GAAP, pre-operating costs incurred during the commissioning phase of a new project are deferred until commercial production levels are achieved.  After such time, those costs are amortized over the estimated life of the project.  Under U.S. GAAP, such costs are expensed as incurred.  Certain prior year start-up costs incurred by Bruce Power L.P. (Bruce B), an equity investment, were required to be expensed under U.S. GAAP.  Under both Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP, interest is capitalized on expenditures relating to construction of development projects actively being prepared for their intended use.  In Bruce B, under U.S. GAAP, the carrying value of development projects against which interest is capitalized is lower due to the expensing of pre-operating costs.

(5)             Financial Interpretation (FIN) 45 requires the recognition of a liability for the fair value of certain guarantees that require

3




                           payments contingent on specified types of future events.  The measurement standards of FIN 45 are applicable to guarantees entered into after January 1, 2003.  For U.S. GAAP purposes, the fair value of guarantees recorded as a liability at September 30, 2006 was $17 million (December 31, 2005 – $17 million) and relates to the Company’s equity interest in Bruce B and Bruce Power A L.P.  The net income impact with respect to the guarantees for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1 million (September 30, 2005 – nil).

(6)             In accordance with U.S. GAAP, all current taxes are included in cash generated from operations.

(7)             Current assets at September 30, 2006 include derivative contracts of $30 million (December 31, 2005 – $49 million) and hedging deferrals of $72 million (December 31, 2005 – $93 million).

(8)             Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to record a deferred income tax liability for its cost-of-service regulated businesses. As these deferred income taxes are recoverable through future revenues, a corresponding regulatory asset is recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes.  A reduction in Canadian federal and provincial corporate income tax rates enacted in second quarter 2006 resulted in a decrease of $406 million in the deferred income tax liability and corresponding regulatory asset.

(9)             Current liabilities at September 30, 2006 include dividends payable of $162 million (December 31, 2005 – $154 million) and current taxes payable of $103 million (December 31, 2005 – $251 million).

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and error correction.  It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle.  Adopting the provisions under SFAS No. 154, as of January 1, 2006, had no impact on the U.S. GAAP financial statements of the Company.

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.  Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year.  SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement of any hybrid instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation.  Adopting the provisions under SFAS No. 155, as of January 1, 2007, is not expected to have an impact on the U.S. GAAP financial statements of the Company.

In March 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.  Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year.  SFAS No. 156 requires recognition of a servicing asset or liability when an entity enters into arrangements to service financial instruments in certain situations.  Such servicing assets or servicing liabilities are required to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.  SFAS No. 156 also allows an entity to subsequently measure its servicing assets or servicing liabilities using either an amortization method or a fair value method.  Adopting the provisions under SFAS No. 156, as of January 1, 2007, is not expected to have an impact on the U.S. GAAP financial statements of the Company.

In July 2006, FASB issued FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  This Interpretation provides guidance for the financial

4




statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. TransCanada is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of the application of FIN 48 on its U.S. GAAP financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  TransCanada is in the process of assessing the impact of the application of SFAS No. 157 on its U.S. GAAP financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)”, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability on its balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income.  The plan assets and benefit obligations will be measured as of the balance sheet date. TransCanada is in the process of assessing the impact of the application of SFAS No. 158 on its U.S. GAAP financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued SAB Topic 1N, “Financial Statements – Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB No. 108), which addresses how to quantify the effect of an error on the financial statements. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending December 31, 2006. TransCanada does not expect SAB No. 108 to have an impact on its U.S. GAAP financial statements.
