(a)

Includes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting arrangements and margin cash collateral payments and receipts. NEE also has contract settlement receivable and payable balances that are subject to the master netting arrangements but are not offset within the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded in customer receivables - net and accounts payable, respectively.


(b)	At NEE, approximately $1,382 million ($1,244 million at FPL) are invested in commingled funds whose underlying investments would be Level 1 if those investments were held directly by NEE or FPL.


(c)	See Note 2 for a reconciliation of net derivatives to NEE's and FPL's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Reconciliation of changes in the fair value of derivatives measured based on significant unobservable inputs

The reconciliation of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are based on significant unobservable inputs is as follows:

————————————

(a)

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, realized and unrealized gains of approximately $2 million are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues and $11 million in interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, realized and unrealized gains of approximately $53 million are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues.


(b)	Transfers into Level 3 were a result of decreased observability of market data and, in 2013, the use of a significant credit valuation adjustment. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were a result of increased observability of market data. NEE's and FPL's policy is to recognize all transfers at the beginning of the reporting period.


(c)	For the three months ended June 30, 2013, unrealized gains of less than $1 million are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues and approximately $11 million in interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, unrealized gains of approximately $76 million are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues.

(a)

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, realized and unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $1 million are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues, $11 million in interest expense and the balance is reflected in fuel, purchased power and interchange.

(b)	Transfers into Level 3 were a result of decreased observability of market data and, in 2013, the use of a significant credit valuation adjustment. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were a result of increased observability of market data. NEE's and FPL's policy is to recognize all transfers at the beginning of the reporting period.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure related to assets and liabilities by class, including financial instruments measured at fair value that are classified in shareholders' equity, if any, that are measured at fair value on a recurring and/or nonrecurring basis in periods after initial recognition. Disclosures include, but are not limited to: (a) the fair value measurements recorded and the reasons for the measurements and (b) the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety (levels 1, 2, 3) as well as transfers between levels 1 and 2.
