Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
(Unaudited)
 
1.
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The consolidated financial statements of TransCanada Corporation (TransCanada or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in TransCanada's annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. These Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all 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 2009 audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in TransCanada’s 2009 Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, “TransCanada“ or “the Company“ includes TransCanada Corporation and its subsidiaries. Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.
 
In Pipelines, which consists primarily of the Company's investments in regulated 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 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.

2.
Changes in Accounting Policies
 
The Company’s accounting policies have not changed materially from those described in TransCanada’s 2009 Annual Report. Future accounting changes that will impact the Company are as follows:
 
Future Accounting Changes
 
International Financial Reporting Standards
 
The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (CICA) 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. As an SEC registrant, TransCanada has the option to prepare and file its consolidated financial statements using U.S. GAAP. Previously, TransCanada disclosed that effective January 1, 2011, the Company expected to begin reporting under IFRS.  Prior to the developments noted below, the Company's IFRS conversion project was proceeding as planned to meet the January 1, 2011 conversion date.
 
Rate-Regulated Accounting
In accordance with Canadian GAAP, TransCanada currently follows specific accounting policies unique to a rate-regulated business which are consistent with rate-regulated accounting (RRA) standards in U.S. GAAP. Under RRA, the timing of recognition of certain expenses and revenues may differ from that otherwise expected under Canadian GAAP in order to appropriately reflect the economic impact of regulators' decisions regarding the Company's revenues and tolls. These timing differences are recorded as regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities on TransCanada's consolidated balance sheet and represent current rights and obligations regarding cash flows expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers, based on decisions and approvals by the applicable regulatory authorities. As at June 30, 2010, TransCanada reported $1.7 billion of regulatory assets and $0.4 billion of regulatory liabilities using RRA in addition to certain other impacts of RRA.
 
In July 2009, the IASB issued an Exposure Draft "Rate-Regulated Activities" which proposed a form of RRA under IFRS. To date, the IASB has not approved an RRA standard and TransCanada does not expect a final RRA standard under IFRS to be effective for 2011. As a result, in July 2010, the CICA’s AcSB issued an Exposure Draft applicable to Canadian publicly accountable enterprises that use RRA which, if approved, would allow these entities to defer the adoption of IFRS for two years. A final decision is expected by the AcSB before the end of 2010. Due to the continued uncertainty around the timing, scope and eventual adoption of an RRA standard under IFRS, if the AcSB Exposure Draft is approved, TransCanada expects to defer its adoption of IFRS accordingly, and continue to prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP to maintain the use of RRA. During the deferral period, TransCanada will continue to actively monitor IASB developments with respect to RRA. If the AcSB Exposure Draft is not approved or the IASB has not approved an RRA standard within the two year deferral period that allows the Company’s rate-regulated activities to be appropriately reflected in its consolidated financial statements, TransCanada expects to re-evaluate its decision to adopt IFRS and reconsider the adoption of U.S. GAAP.
 
As a result of these developments related to RRA under IFRS, TransCanada cannot reasonably quantify the full impact that adopting IFRS would have on its financial position and future results if it proceeded with adopting IFRS. The Company will continue to monitor non-RRA IFRS developments and their potential impact on TransCanada.

5.
Share Capital
 
Preferred Share Issuances
 
In June 2010, TransCanada completed a public offering of 14 million Series 5 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares, including the full exercise of an underwriters’ option of two million shares, under its September 2009 base shelf prospectus. The preferred shares were issued at a price of $25 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $350 million including the underwriters' option. The holders of the Series 5 preferred shares are entitled to receive fixed cumulative dividends at an annual rate of $1.10 per share, payable quarterly, yielding 4.4 per cent per annum for the initial five and a half year period ending January 30, 2016. The first dividend payment will be made on November 1, 2010. The dividend rate will reset on January 30, 2016 and every five years thereafter to a yield per annum equal to the sum of the then five year Government of Canada bond yield and 1.54 per cent. The Series 5 preferred shares are redeemable by TransCanada on January 30, 2016 and on January 30 of every fifth year thereafter.
 
The Series 5 preferred shareholders will have the right to convert their shares into Series 6 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares on January 30, 2016 and on January 30 of every fifth year thereafter. The holders of Series 6 preferred shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative dividends at a yield per annum equal to the sum of the then 90 day Government of Canada treasury bill rate and 1.54 per cent.
 
In March 2010, TransCanada completed a public offering of 14 million Series 3 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares, including the full exercise of an underwriters’ option of two million shares, under its September 2009 base shelf prospectus. The preferred shares were issued at a price of $25 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $350 million including the underwriters' option. The holders of the Series 3 preferred shares are entitled to receive fixed cumulative dividends at an annual rate of $1.00 per share, payable quarterly, yielding four per cent per annum for the initial five year period ending June 30, 2015. The first dividend payment was made on June 30, 2010. The dividend rate will reset on June 30, 2015 and every five years thereafter to a yield per annum equal to the sum of the then five year Government of Canada bond yield and 1.28 per cent. The Series 3 preferred shares are redeemable by TransCanada on June 30, 2015 and on June 30 of every fifth year thereafter.
 
The Series 3 preferred shareholders will have the right to convert their shares into Series 4 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares on June 30, 2015 and on June 30 of every fifth year thereafter. The holders of Series 4 preferred shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative dividends at a yield per annum equal to the sum of the then 90 day Government of Canada treasury bill rate and 1.28 per cent.
 
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
 
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, TransCanada issued 2.6 million and 4.9 million (2009 – 1.4 million and 3.5 million) common shares, respectively, under its Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (DRP), in lieu of making cash dividend payments of $92 million and $170 million (2009 - $42 million and $109 million). The dividends under the DRP were paid with common shares 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, the fair value of derivative assets and notes, loans and advances receivable. The carrying amounts and fair values of these financial assets are included in Accounts Receivable and Other in the Non-Derivative Financial Instruments Summary table below. 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 June 30, 2010, there were no significant amounts past due or impaired.
 
At June 30, 2010, the Company had a credit risk concentration of $348 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 Inventory
 
At June 30, 2010, 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 $51 million (December 31, 2009 - $73 million). The change in fair value of proprietary natural gas inventory in storage in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted in net pre-tax unrealized gains of $4 million and net pre-tax unrealized losses of $20 million, respectively, which were recorded as an increase and a decrease, respectively, to Revenues and Inventories (2009 - losses of $6 million and $29 million). The change in fair value of natural gas forward purchase and sale contracts in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted in net pre-tax unrealized gains of $2 million and $5 million, respectively (2009 – losses of $1 million and gains of $9 million), 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 open liquid 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 June 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009 – $12 million). The decrease from December 31, 2009 was primarily due to decreased prices and lower open positions in the U.S. Power portfolio.
 
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 June 30, 2010, the Company had designated as a net investment hedge U.S. dollar-denominated debt with a carrying value of $9.4 billion (US$8.8 billion) and a fair value of $9.7 billion (US$9.2 billion). At June 30, 2010, $20 million (December 31, 2009 - $96 million) was included in Intangibles and Other Assets for the fair value of forwards and swaps used to hedge the Company’s net U.S. dollar investment in foreign operations.

(4)
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on power and natural gas derivative financial instruments held for trading are included 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 hedging relationships are initially recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and are 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 $9 million and a notional amount of US$150 million. Net realized gains on fair value hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and were included in Interest Expense. In second quarter 2010, the Company did not record any amounts in Net Income related to ineffectiveness for fair value hedges.
(6)
Net Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 included gains of $7 million and losses of $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. There were no gains or losses included in Net Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 for discontinued cash flow hedges. No amounts have been excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

(3)
Volumes for power, natural gas and oil products derivatives are in GWh, Bcf and thousands of barrels, respectively.
(4)
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on power, natural gas and oil products derivative financial instruments held for trading are included 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 hedging relationships are initially recognized in Other Comprehensive Income, and are 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 $4 million and a notional amount of US$150 million at December 31, 2009. Net realized gains on fair value hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and were included in Interest Expense. In second quarter 2009, the Company did not record any amounts in Net Income related to ineffectiveness for fair value hedges.
(6)
Net Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included losses of $4 million and gains of $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. There were no gains or losses included in Net Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 for discontinued cash flow hedges. No amounts have been 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. Fair value of assets and liabilities included in Level I is determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level II include valuations using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant outputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. This category includes fair value determined using valuation techniques, such as option pricing models and extrapolation using observable inputs. Level III valuations are based on inputs that are not readily observable and are significant to the overall fair value measurement. Long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets and the fair value of guarantees 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. The fair value of guarantees is estimated by discounting the cash flows that would be incurred if letters of credit were used in place of the guarantees.

The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities is presented on a net basis.
(2)
The fair value of guarantees is included in Deferred Amounts. No amounts were recognized in Net Income for the periods presented.
(3)
The total amount of net gains included in Net Income attributable to derivatives that were entered into during the period and still held at the reporting date was $1 million and nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
(4)
As contracts near maturity, they are transferred out of Level III to Level II.
 
A 10 per cent increase or decrease in commodity prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in a $28 million decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of derivative financial instruments included in Level III and outstanding as at June 30, 2010.
 
A 100 basis points increase or decrease in the letter of credit rate, with all other variables held constant, would result in a $3 million increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value of guarantee liabilities outstanding as at June 30, 2010. Similarly, the effect of a 100 basis points increase or decrease in the risk-free interest rate, which is a component of the discount rate, on the fair value of guarantee liabilities outstanding as at June 30, 2010 would result in a $1 million decrease or increase, respectively, in the liability.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
At June 30, 2010, TransCanada had entered into agreements totalling approximately $530 million to purchase construction materials and services for the Bison natural gas pipeline and Cartier Wind power projects.
 
Amounts received under the Bruce B floor price mechanism in any year are subject to repayment if average spot prices exceed the floor price. With respect to 2010, TransCanada currently expects average spot prices to be less than the floor price for the remainder of the year, therefore, no amounts recorded in revenue in the first six months of 2010 are expected to be repaid.
