Effective ownership.

Nature of Operations. We are mostly engaged in the interstate transportation and storage of natural gas. We provide transportation and storage of natural gas to customers in various regions of the northeastern and southeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest United States. Most of our operations are subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. We are indirectly owned by Spectra Energy Corp.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying Condensed Combined Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned subsidiaries, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly present our results of operations and financial position.

Use of Estimates. To conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements. Although these estimates are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results could differ.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental. We are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste disposal and other environmental matters. These laws and regulations can change from time to time, imposing new obligations on us.

Litigation. We are involved in legal, tax and regulatory proceedings in various forums arising in the ordinary course of business, including matters regarding contract and payment claims, some of which involve substantial monetary amounts. We have insurance coverage for certain of these losses should they be incurred. We believe that the final disposition of these proceedings will not have a material effect on our combined results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

5. Fair Value Measurements

Our financial instruments included $1,995 million of long-term debt as of September 30, 2013 and $1,994 million as of December 31, 2012, with approximate fair values of $2,086 million and $2,287 million, respectively. Fair values of our long-term debt are determined based on market-based prices. These valuations may include inputs such as quoted market prices of the exact or similar instruments, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources that may include models or matrix pricing tools, with reasonable levels of price transparency. Judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. These estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could have realized in current markets. It is not practical to measure the fair value of notes payable-affiliates due to its related party nature.

The fair values of Receivables and Accounts Payable are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these accounts.

 

6. Subsequent Events

We have evaluated significant events and transactions that occurred from October 1, 2013 through November 18, 2013, the date the Condensed Combined Financial Statements were issued.
