(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.

Significant unobservable inputs used in valuation of contracts categorized as Level 3

The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of NEE's commodity contracts categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2013 are as follows:

Transaction Type	Fair Value at June 30, 2013		Valuation Technique(s)	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Range
	Assets	Liabilities
	(millions)
Forward contracts - power	$380	$85	Discounted cash flow	Forward price (per mwh)	$9	—	$196

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:

	Three Months Ended June 30,

	NEE			FPL			NEE			FPL
	(millions)
Fair value of net derivatives based on significant unobservable inputs at March 31	$	522		$	2		$	589		$	7

Fair value of net derivatives based on significant unobservable inputs at June 30	$	384		$	(1	)	$	575		$	7
The amount of gains (losses) for the period included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to derivatives still held at the reporting date(c)	$	12		$	—		$	76		$	—

————————————

(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.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, realized and unrealized gains of approximately $281 million are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues 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.

(c) For the six months ended June 30, 2013, unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $32 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.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, unrealized gains of approximately $189 million are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income in operating revenues and the balance is reflected in fuel, purchased power and interchange
