 Emera Incorporated 
 Notes to
the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 
 As at March 31, 2016 and 2015 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 The significant accounting
policies for both the regulated and non-regulated operations of Emera Incorporated are as follows: 
 A. Nature of Operations 

Emera Incorporated (“Emera” or the “Company”) is an energy and services company which invests in electricity generation, transmission and
distribution, gas transmission and utility energy services. 
 Emera’s primary rate-regulated subsidiaries and investments at March 31, 2016 included the
following: 
  

	 	•	 	Nova Scotia Power Inc. (“NSPI”), which is a fully integrated electric utility and the primary electricity supplier in Nova Scotia, serving 507,000 customers; 


 

	 	•	 	Emera Maine provides electric transmission and distribution services to 158,000 customers in the State of Maine in the United States; 


 

	 	•	 	a 100.0 per cent interest (December 31, 2015 – 95.5 per cent) in Emera (Caribbean) Incorporated (“ECI”), the parent of The Barbados Light & Power Company Limited (“BLPC”),
which is a vertically integrated utility and sole provider of electricity on the island of Barbados, serving 126,000 customers; a 51.9 per cent interest (December 31, 2015 – 49.6 per cent indirect interest) through ECI in Dominica
Electricity Services Ltd. (“Domlec”), an integrated utility on the island of Dominica, serving 36,000 customers; and a 19.1 per cent indirect interest (December 31, 2015 – 18.2 per cent indirect interest) through ECI in St.
Lucia Electricity Services Limited (“Lucelec”), which is a vertically integrated regulated electric utility in St. Lucia; 

  

	 	•	 	a 50.0 per cent direct and 30.4 per cent indirect interest (through a 60.7 per cent interest in ICD Utilities Limited (“ICDU”)) in Grand Bahama Power Company Limited (“GBPC”), which is
a vertically integrated utility and sole provider of electricity on Grand Bahama Island, serving 19,000 customers; 

  

	 	•	 	Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company Limited (“Brunswick Pipeline”), which is a 145-kilometre pipeline delivering re-gasified liquefied natural gas from Saint John, New Brunswick to the United States border under
a 25-year firm service agreement with Repsol Energy Canada (“REC”), which expires in 2034; 

  

	 	•	 	Emera Newfoundland & Labrador Holdings Inc. (“ENL”), focused on two transmission investments related to the development of an 824 megawatt (“MW”) hydroelectric generating facility at Muskrat
Falls on the Lower Churchill River in Labrador, scheduled to be in service in 2017. ENL’s two investments are: 

  

	 	•	 	100 per cent interest in NSP Maritime Link Inc. (“NSPML”), which is developing the Maritime Link Project, a $1.56 billion transmission project, including two 170-kilometre sub-sea cables, between the
island of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia; 

  

	 	•	 	59.0 per cent investment (December 31, 2015 – 55.1 per cent) in the partnership capital of Labrador-Island Link Limited Partnership (“LIL”), a $3.1 billion electricity transmission project in
Newfoundland and Labrador to enable the transmission of Muskrat Falls energy between Labrador and the island of Newfoundland. Emera’s percentage ownership in LIL ?is subject to change, based on the balance of capital investments required
from Emera and Nalcor Energy to complete construction of the LIL. Emera’s ultimate percentage investment in LIL will be determined on completion of the LIL and final costing of all transmission projects related to the Muskrat Falls development,
including the LIL and Maritime Link Projects, such that Emera’s total investment in the Maritime Link and LIL will equal 49 per cent of the cost of all of these transmission developments. The investment in LIL is accounted for on the
equity basis. This project is expected to go into service in 2017. 


  
 9 









	 	•	 	a 12.9 per cent interest in Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (“M&NP”), which is a 1,400-kilometre pipeline, which transports natural gas from offshore Nova Scotia to markets in Atlantic Canada
and the northeastern United States; 

 Emera Incorporated and its subsidiaries also own investments in other energy-related companies, including: 

 

	 	•	 	Emera Energy Inc. (“Emera Energy”), includes: 

  

	 	•	 	Emera Energy Services (“EES”), a physical energy business that purchases and sells natural gas and electricity and provides related energy asset management services; 


 

	 	•	 	Bridgeport Energy, Tiverton Power and Rumford Power (“New England Gas Generating Facilities”), comprising 1,090 MW of combined-cycle gas-fired electricity generating capacity in the northeastern United States;


  

	 	•	 	Bayside Power Limited Partnership (“Bayside Power”), which is a 290 MW electricity generating facility in Saint John, New Brunswick; 


 

	 	•	 	Brooklyn Power Corporation (“Brooklyn Energy”), which is a 30 MW biomass co-generation merchant electricity facility in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia. Brooklyn Energy has a long-term purchase power agreement with
NSPI; 

  

	 	•	 	a 50.0 per cent joint venture interest in Bear Swamp Power Company LLC (“Bear Swamp”), which is a 600 MW pumped storage hydroelectric facility in northern Massachusetts; 


 

	 	•	 	Emera Reinsurance Limited, which is a captive insurance company providing insurance and reinsurance to Emera and certain affiliates, to enable more cost efficient management of risk and deductible levels across Emera;


  

	 	•	 	Emera Utility Services Inc., which is a utility services contractor primarily operating in Atlantic Canada; 

  

	 	•	 	a 19.4 per cent (December 31, 2015 – 19.6 per cent) investment in Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“APUC”), which is a public company traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the
symbol “AQN”; 

  

	 	•	 	and other investments. 

 Pending acquisition 

On September 4, 2015, Emera entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which, Emera US Inc., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Emera, will merge
with and into TECO Energy, Inc. (“TECO Energy”), and TECO Energy will survive the merger and become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Emera (“the Transaction”). TECO Energy shareholders will receive $27.55 USD per common
share in cash, which represents an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.4 billion USD, and includes the assumption of approximately $3.9 billion USD of debt. 

The closing of the acquisition, expected to occur mid-2016, is subject to approval by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“NMPRC”), and the
satisfaction of customary closing conditions. On April 11, 2016, Emera and TECO Energy filed an unopposed Stipulation Agreement reflecting a settlement reached with intervening parties in the acquisition case pending before the NMPRC for
approval of Emera’s proposed acquisition of TECO Energy and the indirect acquisition of the New Mexico Gas Co. The hearing for Emera’s pending acquisition of TECO Energy occurred on May 2, 2016. A decision is expected mid-2016. 

TECO Energy is an energy-related holding company with regulated electric and gas utilities in Florida and New Mexico. TECO Energy’s holdings include: Tampa
Electric, an integrated regulated electric utility which serves nearly 725,000 customers in West Central Florida; Peoples Gas System, a regulated gas distribution utility which serves nearly 365,000 customers across Florida; and New Mexico Gas Co.,
also a regulated gas distribution utility which serves more than 515,000 customers across New Mexico.

 B. Basis of Presentation 
 These
unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”). They do not contain all disclosures required by USGAAP for
annual audited financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with Emera Incorporated’s annual audited financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2015. 

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary
to fairly state the financial position of Emera Incorporated. Financial results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2016. 

All dollar amounts are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. 

C. Use of Management Estimates 
 The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates the Company’s estimates on an ongoing basis based upon historical experience, current conditions and assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time
the assumption is made, with any adjustments recognized in income in the year they arise. Significant estimates are included in unbilled revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory, valuation of derivative instruments, capitalized overhead,
depreciation, amortization, regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities (including the determination of the current portion), income taxes (including deferred income taxes), pension and post-retirement benefits, asset retirement obligations
(“AROs”), goodwill impairment assessments, valuation of investments and contingencies. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. 

D. Seasonal Nature of Operations 
 Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year, primarily due to seasonal factors. Electricity sales and related generation vary significantly over the year; the first quarter is typically the strongest period, reflecting colder weather and fewer daylight
hours in the winter season in northeastern North America, where a substantial portion of Emera’s electricity business is located. Certain quarters may also be impacted by the number and severity of storms. 

2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY 
 The new US GAAP accounting policies that
are applicable to, and were adopted by Emera, effective during 2016, are described as follows: 
 Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items,
Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-01 
 In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-01, Income
Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items, which simplifies the income statement presentation requirements by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. The Company has adopted this standard in Q1 2016, with no impact on its
consolidated financial statements. 

  
 11 








 Consolidation, ASU 2015-02 
 In
February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation, which changes the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. Some of the more notable amendments are
(1) the identification of variable interests when fees are paid to a decision maker or service provider, (2) the variable interest entity (“VIE”) characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the
primary beneficiary determination. All legal entities are subject to re-evaluation under the revised consolidation model. The Company has adopted this standard in Q1 2016, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

Interest – Imputation of Interest, ASU 2015-03 
 In April 2015, the FASB
issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest, which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments require debt issuance costs be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the
carrying amount of debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected. The Company has adopted this standard effective Q1 2016 and December 31, 2015
balances have been retrospectively restated. This change resulted in $62.3 million of deferred financing costs, as at December 31, 2015, previously presented as other assets, being reclassified as a deduction from the carrying amount of the
related long-term debt and convertible debentures represented by instalment receipts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 
 In accordance with ASU 2015-15
Interest: Imputation of Interest, the Company continues to present deferred issuance costs related to its revolving credit facilities and related instruments in other long-term assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

Compensation – Retirement Benefits, ASU 2015-04 
 In April 2015, the FASB
issued ASU 2015-04, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, which is part of FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. This standard provides certain practical expedients for defined benefit pension or other
post-retirement benefit plan measurement dates. The Company has adopted this standard in Q1 2016, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software, ASU 2015-05 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software, which provides
guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer would account for the software license element of the arrangement
consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance does not change GAAP for a
customer’s accounting for service contracts. The Company has adopted this standard in Q1 2016, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

Technical Corrections and Improvements, ASU 2015-10 
 In June 2015, the FASB
issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements, covering a wide range of topics in the codification to correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification. The Company has adopted this
standard in Q1 2016, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements. 
 Inventory – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, ASU 2015-11 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments require an entity to measure
inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, whereas previously, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting within those periods,
beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company has adopted this standard in Q1 2016, with no impact on its consolidated
financial statements. 

  
 12 








 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships,
ASU 2016-05 
 In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting
Relationships. The standard clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative contract, in and of itself, does not require the de-designation of a hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be
met. ASU 2016-05 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard in Q1 2016, with no
impact on its consolidated financial statements. 
 Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, ASU 2016-07 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, which is part of FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity
in accounting standards. This standard eliminates the requirements of an investor to retroactively account for an investment under the equity method when an investment qualifies for equity method accounting. ASU 2016-07 is effective for annual
reporting periods, including interim reporting within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard in Q1 2016, with no impact on its consolidated financial
statements. 
 3. FUTURE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 
 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, ASU 2014-09 
 In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which creates a new,
principle-based revenue recognition framework and a new topic in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 606. ASC 606 also changes the basis for determining when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides
new and more detailed guidance on specific aspects of revenue recognition and expands revenue disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations. The
amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying
Performance Obligations and Licensing. The guidance will be effective beginning in 2018, with early adoption permitted in 2017, and will allow for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is continuing
to evaluate the impact of adoption of these standards on its consolidated financial statements. 
 Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, ASU 2016-01 
 In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Recognition
and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual
reporting periods, including interim reporting within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. 

Leases (Topic 842), ASU 2016-02 
 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-02, Leases. The standard increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for lease terms of more than 12 months. The effect of leases on the Consolidated
Statements of Income and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is largely unchanged. In addition, the guidance will require additional disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual
reporting periods, including interim reporting within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of
evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

because management believes that the elimination of these transactions would understate property, plant and equipment, operating, maintenance and general expenses, or regulated fuel for generation and purchased power. Inter-company transactions
which have not been eliminated are measured at the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. Eliminated transactions are included in determining reportable segments.

 Regulated Fuel Adjustment Mechanism 

The regulated fuel adjustment mechanism (“FAM”) included in the Consolidated Statements of Income includes the effect of prudently incurred fuel for generation
and purchased power and certain fuel related costs (“Fuel Costs”) in both the current and preceding years, specifically, and as detailed in the table below: 
  

	 	•	 	The difference between actual Fuel Costs and amounts recovered from customers in the current year. This amount is deferred to a FAM regulatory asset in “Regulatory assets” or a FAM regulatory liability in
“Regulatory liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets; and 

  

	 	•	 	The recovery from (rebate to) customers of under (over) recovered Fuel Costs from prior years. 

 The FAM is subject to an
incentive, with NSPI retaining or absorbing 10 per cent of the over or under-recovered amount to a maximum of $5 million. The incentive was suspended for 2012 to 2015, as a result of UARB approved settlement agreements and is in effect for
2016. 
 The regulated fuel adjustment mechanism on the Consolidated Statements of Income consisted of the following: 

 

									
	 For the

millions of Canadian dollars
	  	Three months
ended March 31	 
	  	2016	 	  	2015	 
	 Over (Under) recovery of current period Fuel Costs
	  	$	10.0	  	  	$	(23.6	) 
	 Recovery from (rebate to) customers of prior years’ Fuel Costs
	  	 	3.8	  	  	 	18.2	  
		  	  
	  
	 	  	  
	  
	 
	 Regulated fuel adjustment mechanism
	  	$	13.8	  	  	$	(5.4	) 
		  	  
	  
	 	  	  
	  
	 

 The deferred FAM amounts are recognized as a “Regulatory asset” or “Regulatory liability” on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. The FAM regulatory asset balance of $8.5 million and the FAM regulatory liability balance of $55.1 million is disclosed in Note 16 and includes associated interest recorded as “Interest expense, net” on the Consolidated
Statements of Income. 
 In December 2015, the UARB approved NSPI’s 2016 base cost of fuel and its recovery of prior period unrecovered fuel related costs as
submitted in NSPI’s filings. Approved customer rates reset the base cost of fuel rate for 2016 and seek to recover a total of $13.7 million of prior years’ unrecovered Fuel Costs in 2016. Recovery of these costs began January 1, 2016.

 On December 18, 2015, the Electricity Plan Implementation (2015) Act (the “Electricity Plan Act”) was enacted by the Province of Nova Scotia.
In accordance with the Electricity Plan Act, NSPI filed with the UARB, on March 7, 2016, a three-year rate plan for Fuel Costs, requesting an average increase of 1.3 per cent for 2017 through 2019. A hearing is scheduled for June 13,
2016. Differences between actual Fuel Costs and amounts recovered from customers through electricity rates during this period will be deferred to a FAM regulatory asset or liability and recovered from or returned to customers subsequent to 2019.

 Pursuant to the FAM Plan of Administration, NSPI’s Fuel Costs are subject to independent audit. The audit for fiscal 2014 and 2015 is currently underway. 

Application of Non-Fuel Revenues 
 The Electricity Plan Act further directed
NSPI to apply any non-fuel revenues in excess of NSPI’s approved range of return in 2015 and 2016 to the FAM, which will be reserved to be applied in the 2017 to 2019 period. In addition, the financial benefit resulting from a change in the
recognition of tax benefits for the South Canoe and Sable Wind Projects is to be reserved to be applied to the FAM to be used in the 2017 to 2019 period. The exception to this direction is application of a sufficient amount of non-fuel revenues to
offset potential fuel related rate increases for certain customer classes in 2016 that would have been otherwise required. This amount totals $4.6 million. As a result, as at December 31, 2015, 

  
 15 








 
NSPI has deferred $4.6 million of excess non-fuel revenues to 2016 and $40.1 million of excess non-fuel revenues for the periods 2017 to 2019. 

In Q1 2016, NSPI applied $3.8 million of non-fuel revenues to the FAM for periods 2017 to 2019. This was a result of applying the tax benefits associated with the South
Canoe and Sable Wind Projects as directed by the Electricity Plan Act. 
 Fixed Cost Deferral Related to 2015 DSM 

In April 2014, the Government of Nova Scotia announced new energy efficiency legislation to remove a previous charge for conservation and efficiency programs from
electricity bills of Nova Scotia customers effective January 1, 2015. In addition, the legislation requires NSPI to purchase electricity efficiency and conservation activities (“Program Costs”) from EfficiencyOne, the provincially
appointed franchisee to deliver energy efficiency programs to Nova Scotians. The Program Costs were set for 2015 at $35 million and were deferred as a regulatory asset and recoverable from customers over an eight-year period beginning in 2016.
In August 2015, the UARB approved a budget of $102.0 million for the three-year period of 2016 through 2018. The Electricity Plan Act placed a cap of $34.0 million on 2019 DSM spending. The 2016 DSM cost of $24.7 million will not be deferred and
will be charged to earnings. 
 The deferred DSM amounts from 2015 are recognized as a “Regulatory asset” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The DSM
regulatory asset balance of $35.6 million is disclosed in Note 16 and includes associated interest that is recorded as “Interest expense, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

	(1)	As at March 31, 2016, the market price per share was $10.87 (December 31, 2015 – $10.91), which indicates a fair market value of this investment of $685.4 million (December 31, 2015 – $684.5
million). Emera holds 50.1 million shares and 12.9 million outstanding subscription receipts and dividend equivalents as at March 31, 2016 at an average book value of $8.25 per share. Carrying value reflects a cash cost of $371.2
million, plus non-cash gains recognized on conversion of prior subscriptions receipts into common shares, dilution gains or losses, and equity income or loss, less dividends received. The outstanding subscription receipts, with an average conversion
price of $9.19 will automatically convert to common shares in Q4 2016 if an election is not made. If converted, Emera’s interest would increase to 23.2 per cent. 


	(2)	Emera’s Strategic Investment Agreement with APUC and a ruling by the Maine Public Utilities (“MPUC”) limits Emera’s ownership in APUC to 25 per cent of APUC’s voting securities. The MPUC
also stipulated Emera’s dollar investment in APUC cannot exceed 5 per cent of Emera’s total assets. As at March 31, 2016, Emera is in compliance with both of these requirements. 


	(3)	Emera indirectly owns 100 per cent of the Class B units, which comprises 24.9 per cent of the total units issued. Emera’s share of the total partnership capital is 59.0 per cent. 


	(4)	Bear Swamp’s credit investment balance is recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 


Equity investments include a $138.1 million difference between the cost and the underlying fair value of the investees’ assets as at the date of
acquisition. The excess is attributable to goodwill. 
 Emera accounts for its variable interest investment in NSPML as an equity investment (note 27).

 NSPI and the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) are currently in a dispute with respect to the timing of certain tax deductions for
NSPI’s 2006 through 2010 taxation years. The ultimate permissibility of the tax deductions is not in dispute; rather, it is the timing of those deductions. The cumulative net amount in dispute to date is $62.3 million, including interest. NSPI
has prepaid $22.7 million of the amount in dispute, as required by CRA. 
 Should NSPI be successful in defending its position, all payments including applicable
interest will be refunded. If NSPI is unsuccessful in defending any portion of its position, the resulting taxes and applicable interest will be deducted from amounts previously paid, with the excess, if any, owing to CRA. The related tax deductions
will be available in subsequent years. 
 In Q2 2015, CRA commenced audit of NSPI’s 2011 through 2013 taxation years. Should NSPI receive notices of reassessment
for those years, and should the 2014 and 2015 taxation years be similarly reassessed, further payments will be required; however, the ultimate permissibility of these deductions is similarly not in dispute. 

NSPI and its advisors believe that NSPI has reported its tax position appropriately and NSPI is disputing the reassessments through the CRA Appeal process. The outcome
of this process is not determinable at this time.

 Effect on EPS of Convertible Debentures 

Following the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the closing of the acquisition of TECO Energy, at the option of holders and provided that payment of the final
installment has been made, each Debenture will be convertible into common shares of Emera. This conversion can occur at any time after the Final Instalment Date, but prior to maturity or redemption by the Company. The conversion price is $41.85 per
common share, and the conversion rate is 23.8949 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures (note 22). Accordingly, a total of approximately 52.2 million common shares could be issued to convert the Debentures into common shares.
When the conditions for closing the acquisition are met, the Debentures will be included as a component of the Company’s diluted EPS.

 14. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS 
 The
Company enters into futures, forwards, swaps and option contracts as part of its risk management strategy to limit exposure to: 
  

	 	•	 	commodity price fluctuations related to the purchase and sale of commodities in the course of normal operations; 

  

	 	•	 	foreign exchange fluctuations on foreign currency denominated purchases and sales; and 

  

	 	•	 	interest rate fluctuations on debt securities. 

 The Company also enters into physical contracts for energy commodities.
Collectively, these contracts are considered “derivatives”. The Company accounts for derivatives under one of the following four approaches: 
  

	 	1.	Physical contracts that meet the normal purchases normal sales (“NPNS”) exemption are not recognized on the balance sheet; they are recognized in income when they settle. A physical contract generally
qualifies for the NPNS exemption if the transaction is reasonable in relation to the Company’s business needs, the counterparty owns or controls resources within the proximity to allow for physical delivery, the Company intends to receive
physical delivery of the commodity, and the Company deems the counterparty credit worthy. The Company continually assesses contracts designated under the NPNS exemption and will discontinue the treatment of these contracts under this exception if
the criteria are no longer met. 

  

	 	2.	Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivatives qualify for hedge accounting if they meet stringent documentation requirements and can be proven to effectively
hedge the identified cash flow risk both at the inception and over the term of the derivative. Specifically for cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivatives is deferred to AOCI and recognized in income in
the same period the related hedged item is realized. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value from cash flow hedges is recognized in net income in the reporting period. 


Where the documentation or effectiveness requirements are not met, the derivatives are recognized at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized
in net income in the reporting period, unless deferred as a result of regulatory accounting. 
  

	 	3.	Derivatives entered into by NSPI and GBPC that are documented as economic hedges, and for which the NPNS exception has not been taken, are subject to regulatory accounting treatment. These derivatives are recorded
at fair value on the balance sheet as derivative assets or liabilities. The change in fair value of the derivatives is deferred to a regulatory asset or liability. The gain or loss is recognized in the hedged item when the hedged item is
settled. Management believes that any gains or losses resulting from settlement of these derivatives related to fuel for generation and purchased power will be refunded to or collected from customers in future rates. 


 

	 	4.	Derivatives that do not meet any of the above criteria are designated as held-for-trading (“HFT”) derivatives and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes normally recorded in net income
of the period, unless deferred as a result of regulatory accounting. The Company has not elected to designate any derivatives to be included in the HFT category where another accounting treatment would apply.

 Cash Flow Hedges 
 The Company enters into
various derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. Emera enters into power swaps to limit Bear Swamp’s exposure to purchased power prices. Emera also enters into interest rate swaps to fix Bear Swamp’s cost of debt. The Company also
enters into foreign exchange forwards to hedge the currency risk for revenue streams denominated in foreign currency for Brunswick Pipeline. 
 As previously noted,
the effective portion of the change in fair value of these derivatives is included in AOCI, until the hedged transactions are recognized in income. The ineffective portion is recognized in income of the period. The amounts related to cash flow
hedges recorded in income and AOCI consisted of the following:

 As at March 31, 2016, the Company had interest rate swaps in place for the $250 million non-revolving term credit facility in
Brunswick Pipeline for interest payments until the debt matures in 2019. 
 As at March 31, 2016, the Company had a foreign exchange forwards in place for
$1,121.7 million USD in 2016 to economically hedge the anticipated proceeds from the Debenture Offering for the pending TECO Energy acquisition. 
 Credit Risk

 The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to amounts receivable from customers, energy marketing collateral deposits and derivative assets. Credit risk
is the potential loss from a counterparty’s non-performance under an agreement. The Company manages credit risk with policies and procedures for counterparty analysis, exposure measurement, and exposure monitoring and mitigation. Credit
assessments are conducted on all new customers and counterparties, and deposits or collateral are requested on any high risk accounts. 
 The Company assesses the
potential for credit losses on a regular basis, and where appropriate, recognizes provisions. With respect to counterparties, the Company has implemented procedures to monitor the creditworthiness and credit exposure of counterparties and to
consider default probability in valuing the counterparty positions. The Company monitors counterparties’ credit standing, including those that are experiencing financial problems, have significant swings in default probability rates, have
credit rating changes by external rating agencies, or have changes in ownership. Net liability positions are adjusted based on the Company’s current default probability. Net asset positions are adjusted based on the counterparty’s current
default probability. The Company assesses credit risk internally for counterparties that are not rated. 
 It is possible that volatility in commodity prices could
cause the Company to have material credit risk exposures with one or more counterparties. If such counterparties fail to perform their obligations under one or more agreements, the Company could suffer a material financial loss. The Company
transacts with counterparties as part of its risk management strategy for managing commodity price, foreign exchange and interest rate risk. Counterparties that exceed established credit limits can provide a cash deposit or letter of credit to the
Company for the value in excess of the credit limit where contractually required. The Company also obtains cash deposits from electric customers. The Company uses the cash as payment for the amount receivable or returns the deposit/collateral to the
customer/counterparty where it is no longer required by the Company. 
 The Company enters into commodity master arrangements with its counterparties to manage
certain risks, including credit risk to these counterparties. The Company generally enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements (“ISDA”), North American Energy Standards Board agreements (“NAESB”) and,
or Edison Electric Institute agreements. The Company believes that entering into such agreements offers protection by creating contractual rights relating to creditworthiness, collateral, non-performance and default.

 As at March 31, 2016, the Company had $86.3 million (December 31, 2015 – $83.2 million) in financial assets,
considered to be past due, which have been outstanding for an average 78 days. The fair value of these financial assets is $75.1 million (December 31, 2015 – $71.5 million), the difference of which is included in the allowance for doubtful
accounts. These assets primarily relate to accounts receivable from electric revenue. 
 Cash Collateral 

Derivatives, as reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are not offset by the fair value amounts of cash collateral with the same counterparty. Rights to reclaim
cash collateral are recognized in “Receivables, net” and obligations to return cash collateral are recognized in “Accounts payable”. 
 The
Company’s cash collateral positions consisted of the following:

 Collateral is posted in the normal course of business based on the Company’s creditworthiness, including its senior unsecured
credit rating as determined by certain major credit rating agencies. Certain of the Company’s derivatives contain financial assurance provisions that require collateral to be posted if a material adverse credit-related event occurs. If a
material adverse event resulted in the senior unsecured debt to fall below investment grade, the counterparties to such derivatives could request ongoing full collateralization. 

As at March 31, 2016, the total fair value of these derivatives, in a liability position, was $227.1 million (December 31, 2015 – $445.3 million). If the
credit ratings of the Company were reduced below investment grade the full value of the net liability position could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivatives. 

15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 
 The Company is required to determine the fair
value of all derivatives except those which qualify for the NPNS exemption (see note 14), and uses a market approach to do so. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: 

Level 1 – Where possible, the Company bases the fair valuation of its financial assets and liabilities on quoted prices in active markets (“quoted
prices”) for identical assets and liabilities. 
 Level 2 – Where quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities are not available, the valuation of
certain contracts must be based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities with an adjustment related to location differences. Also, certain derivatives are valued using quotes from over-the-counter clearing houses. 

Level 3 – Where the information required for a Level 1 or Level 2 valuation is not available, derivatives must be valued using unobservable or internally-developed
inputs. The primary reasons for a Level 3 classification are as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	While valuations were based on quoted prices, significant assumptions were necessary to reflect seasonal or monthly shaping and locational basis differentials. 


 

	 	•	 	The term of certain transactions extends beyond the period when quoted prices are available, and accordingly, assumptions were made to extrapolate prices from the last quoted period through the end of the transaction
term. 


  
 28 









	 	•	 	The valuations of certain transactions were based on internal models, although quoted prices were utilized in the valuations. 


Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 

The following tables set out the classification of the methodology used by the Company to fair value its derivatives:

 Emera’s Enterprise Risk Management group is responsible for valuation policies, processes and the measurement of fair
value. Fair value accounting rules provide a three level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. When possible, determining fair value is based primarily on observable market inputs in active markets. 

Contracts with quoted prices available in active markets and exchanges for identical assets or liabilities are classified as level 1 in the hierarchy. For those
contracts whereby pricing inputs are either directly or indirectly observable through markets, exchanges or third party sources, but do not qualify as level 1, are classified as level 2 in the hierarchy. For a level 3 classification, the processes
and methods of measurement for third-party pricing information and illiquid markets are developed with input and using the market knowledge of the trading operations within Emera and its affiliates. 

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Emera’s natural gas and power derivatives includes third-party-sourced pricing for
instruments based on illiquid markets; internally developed correlation factors and basis differentials; own credit risk; and discount rates. Internally developed correlations and basis differentials are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on
statistical analysis of the spot markets in the various illiquid term markets. Where possible, Emera also sources multiple broker prices in an effort to evaluate and substantiate these unobservable inputs. Discount rates may include a risk
premium for those long-term forward contracts with illiquid future price points to incorporate the inherent uncertainty of these points. Any risk premiums for long-term contracts are evaluated by observing similar industry practices and in
discussion with industry peers. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. 

The following table outlines quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy:

 The fair values of long-term debt instruments, classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated based on the quoted
market price for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturity, without considering the effect of third party credit enhancements. 

All other financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable, are carried
at cost. The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 
 In the
ordinary course of business, Emera provides energy, construction and other services and enters into transactions with its subsidiaries, associates and other related companies on terms similar to those offered to non-related parties. Inter-company
balances and inter-company transactions have been eliminated on consolidation, except for the net profit on certain transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities in accordance with accounting standards for rate-regulated entities. The
net profit on these transactions, which would be eliminated in the absence of the accounting standards for rate-regulated entities, is recorded in non-regulated operating revenues, with an offset to property, plant and equipment, regulated fuel for
generation and purchased power, or operating, maintenance and general, depending on the nature of the transaction. Below are transactions between Emera and its associated companies reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income:

 20. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE INVESTMENTS 
 The
available-for-sale investments consist primarily of debt and equity investments held in trust on behalf of BLPC’s Self Insurance Fund (“SIF”) for the purpose of building an insurance fund to cover risk against damage and consequential
loss to certain of BLPC’s generating, transmission and distribution systems. Any withdrawal of SIF Fund assets by the Company would be subject to existing regulations. 

In addition, these investments include debt and equity investments related to Emera Reinsurance Limited, for captive insurance purposes. 

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value and classified in the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, and classified as level one, is based on quoted market
prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets is the current bid price at the balance sheet date. Fair values within the level 2 category are determined through the use of quoted prices in active markets for
similar assets, which in some cases, are adjusted for factors specific to the asset. 
 The primary pricing inputs in determining the equity and fixed assets mutual

 22. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES REPRESENTED BY INSTALMENT RECEIPTS 

To finance a portion of the pending acquisition of TECO Energy, Emera, through a direct wholly owned subsidiary (the “Selling Debentureholder”), on
September 28, 2015, completed the sale of $1.9 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.0 per cent convertible unsecured subordinated debentures, represented by instalment receipts. 

On October 2, 2015, in connection with the Debenture Offering, the underwriters fully exercised an over-allotment option and purchased an additional $285 million
aggregate principal amount of Debentures at the Debenture Offering price. The sale of the additional Debentures brought the aggregate proceeds of the Debenture Offering to $2.185 billion, assuming payment of the final instalment. 

The Debentures were sold on an instalment basis at a price of $1,000 per Debenture, of which $333 was paid on closing of the Debenture Offering and the remaining $667
(the “Final Instalment”) is payable on a date (“Final Instalment Date”) to be fixed following satisfaction of conditions precedent to the closing of the acquisition of TECO Energy. 

Approximately $21.9 million ($15.1 million after-tax) (2015 – nil) in interest expense associated with the Debentures was recognized in Q1 2016. 

For a detailed description of the terms of the Debentures, refer to Note 30 in Emera’s annual audit consolidated financial statements.

	(1)	Emera has a 50 per cent investment in Bear Swamp. The investment balance in Bear Swamp is a credit primarily a result of a $178.7 million distribution received in Q4 2015. 


	(2)	Throughout the three-year compliance period associated with the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (“RGGI”) for carbon dioxide emissions, an obligation is recognized as gas is burned, measured at the cost to
acquire credits for the related emissions. Emission credits are capitalized to inventory (note 13) when purchased and subsequently applied against the emission liabilities at the end of each compliance period. 


24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

B. Legal Proceedings 
 Emera 

Between September 16, 2015 and November 2, 2015, purported shareholders of TECO Energy filed 12 separate complaints styled as class action lawsuits in the
Circuit Court for the 13th Judicial Circuit, in and for Hillsborough County, Florida or the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Merger Litigation”). Each complaint alleges, among other things, that
the Board of Directors of TECO Energy breached its fiduciary duties in agreeing to the acquisition agreement and that Emera and/or Emera US Inc. aided and abetted such alleged breaches. The complaints sought to enjoin the merger pursuant to the
acquisition agreement. 
 On November 17, 2015, TECO Energy, Emera, Emera US Inc. and the Board of Directors of TECO Energy entered into a memorandum of
understanding with the shareholder plaintiffs to settle all of the Merger Litigation, subject to negotiation of a stipulation of settlement with the plaintiffs and to court approval. The memorandum of understanding provides for all claims
against the defendants to be released in exchange for TECO Energy making certain additional disclosures to its shareholders related to the proposed merger, which have now been made. 

There is no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the court will approve the settlement even if the parties were to
enter into a stipulation of settlement.
 Emera Maine 
 On
September 30, 2011, a group including the Attorney General of Massachusetts, New England utilities commissions, state public advocates and end users filed a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) alleging
that the 11.14 per cent base return on equity (“ROE”) under the ISO-New England (“ISO-NE”) Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”) was unjust and unreasonable. On June 19, 2014, the FERC issued an order
in connection with this complaint, changing the methodology used to set the ROE for transmission assets.
 This change would lower the base transmission ROE to
10.57 per cent for the period of October 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012, subject to a further proceeding to finalize the determination of appropriate rates to be used in such calculation. The FERC decision would also lower the cap
on the total ROE (inclusive of incentive adders) for transmission assets to 11.74 per cent. In an order issued on October 16, 2014, the FERC confirmed that the ROE set in its earlier order was appropriate. On March 3, 2015, in
response to 

  
 38 








 
requests for rehearing from several parties, FERC affirmed its initial Order, setting of the base ROE of 10.57 per cent and capping the total ROE, including the effect of incentive adders,
at 11.74 per cent. Notices of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit were filed by New England Transmission Owners and the Complainants in the case on April 30, 2015. In Q2 2015, Emera Maine began processing refunds to
customers, based on a 10.57 per cent ROE. By court order dated August 20, 2015, the DC Court of Appeals decided to hold the appeal of this case in abeyance pending the outcome of the consolidated cases (“ENE Case” and “MA AG
II Case”) discussed below. 
 On December 27, 2012, a second group of consumer advocates, including Environment Northeast, filed a complaint with the FERC
on similar grounds, arguing that the 11.14 per cent base ROE under the OATT was unjust and unreasonable (“the ENE Case”). On June 19, 2014, the FERC issued an order in this second ROE case, finding in favour of the
complainants and allowing the complaint to proceed. As a result, a new ROE will be calculated and set by the FERC. This complaint created a new 15-month refund period beginning January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014. 

On July 31, 2014, a group of state commissions, state public advocates and end users filed a third complaint with the FERC alleging the ROE earned on transmission
investments is unjust and unreasonable and does not reflect current economic conditions (“the MA AG II Case”). Any potential refund arising from this third complaint will relate to the period from July 31, 2014 to
September 30, 2015, and the outcome will set the ROE going forward from the date of decision. 
 On November 24, 2014, the FERC consolidated the ENE Case
and MA AG II Case. A subsequent order by the FERC established a schedule for various procedural matters that turned the case over to an Administrative Law Judge in September 2015. 

On March 22, 2016, the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) issued a recommended decision to the FERC with respect to the two outstanding ROE complaints (ENE
Case and MA AG II Case). Each complaint was for a 15-month period commencing December 27, 2012 and July 31, 2014 respectively. The recommendation for the ENE Case was a 9.59 per cent base ROE, with a 10.42 per cent maximum
ROE, and the recommendation for MA AG II Case was a 10.90 per cent base ROE, with a 12.19 per cent maximum ROE. 
 On April 29, 2016, an additional
complaint was filed with FERC challenging the ROE under the ISO-NE transmission tariff. The complaint was filed by the Eastern Massachusetts Consumer-Owned Systems (“EMCOS”), a collection of thirteen municipal light departments,
seeking to reduce the base transmission ROE to a maximum of 8.93 per cent and the maximum ROE of 11.24 per cent.
 Emera Maine has recorded a reserve of
$5.8 million pre-tax ($4.5 million USD) (December 31, 2015 – $6.9 million or $5.0 million USD) for the first two base transmission ROE rate refund complaints. The reserves recorded for these complaints have been recorded as a component of
Regulatory Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the charges to earnings have been a reduction to Operating revenues – regulated on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The reserve was calculated on a 10.57 per cent base
and represents Emera Maine’s best estimate of the probable outcome. No update has been made to the reserve, as a result of the ALJ recommendation as it is pending approval by the FERC and is considered uncertain until that time. No reserve has
been made as a result of the EMCOS complaint, as the outcome is considered uncertain. 
 Other Legal Proceedings 

Emera and its subsidiaries may, from time to time, be involved in other legal proceedings, claims and litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business which the
Company believes would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. 
 C. Environment


  
 39 








 
Emera’s activities are subject to a broad range of federal, provincial, state, regional and local laws and environmental regulations, designed to protect, restore and enhance the quality of
the environment including air, water and solid waste. Emera estimates its environmental capital expenditures, excluding AFUDC, based upon present environmental laws and regulations will be approximately $29.4 million during fiscal 2016 and are
estimated to be $55.9 million from 2017 through 2020. Amounts that have been committed to are included in “Capital projects” in the commitments table in note 24A. The estimated expenditures do not include costs related to possible changes
in the environmental laws or regulations and enforcement policies that may be enacted in response to issues such as climate change and other pollutant emissions. 

NSPI is subject to regulation by federal, provincial and municipal authorities with regard to environmental matters, primarily through its utility operations. In
addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, there are laws, regulations and permits authorizing the imposition of penalties for non-compliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. The cost of complying with current
and future environmental requirements is material to NSPI. Failure to comply with environmental requirements or to recover environmental costs in a timely manner through rates could have a material adverse effect on NSPI. 

Conformance with legislative and NSPI internal requirements is verified through a comprehensive environmental audit program. There were no significant environmental or
regulatory compliance issues identified during the audits completed to March 31, 2016. 
 Poly Chlorinated Bi-Phenol Transformers 

In response to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999, 2008 Poly Chlorinated Bi-Phenol (“PCB”) Regulations to phase out electrical equipment and
liquids containing PCBs, NSPI has implemented a program to eliminate transformers and other oil-filled electrical equipment on its system that do not meet the 2008 PCB Regulations Standard by the end of 2025. This also includes PCB contaminated pole
mounted transformers. The combined total cost of these projects is estimated to be $40.1 million and, as at March 31, 2016, approximately $21.1 million (December 31, 2015 – $19.7 million) has been spent to date. NSPI has recognized an ARO
of $14.9 million as at March 31, 2016 (December 31, 2015 – $15.0 million) associated with the PCB phase-out program. 
 Emera Energy Emissions

 The New England Gas Generating Facilities are subject to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (“RGGI”) for carbon dioxide emissions and the Acid
Rain Program for sulphur dioxide emissions. The New England Gas Generating Facilities emit approximately two million tons of carbon dioxide per year. The amount of sulphur dioxide emitted is not considered significant. Changes to these
emissions programs could adversely impact financial and operational performance. 
 D. Principal Risks and Uncertainties 

In this section, Emera describes some of the principal risks management believes could materially affect Emera’s business, revenues, operating income, net income,
net asset or liquidity or capital resources. The nature of risk is such that no list can be comprehensive, and other risks may arise, or risks not currently considered material may become material in the future. 

Sound risk management is an essential discipline for running the business efficiently and pursuing the Company’s strategy successfully. Emera has a business-wide
risk management process, monitored by the Board of Directors, to ensure a consistent and coherent approach. 
 Regulatory and Political Risk 

The Company’s rate-regulated subsidiaries and certain investments subject to significant influence are subject to risk of the recovery of costs and investments in a
timely manner. As cost-of-service utilities 

  
 40 








 
with an obligation to serve, NSPI, Emera Maine, BLPC, GBPC and Domlec must obtain regulatory approval to change electricity rates and/or riders from their respective regulators. Costs and
investments can be recovered upon the respective regulator’s approval of the recovery in adjustments to rates and/or riders, which normally requires a public hearing process or may be mandated by other governmental bodies. In addition, the
commercial and regulatory frameworks under which Emera and its subsidiaries operate can be impacted by significant shifts in government policy and changes in governments. Emera has certain investments subject to significant influence that are
subject to regulatory risk and include: APUC, M&NP, NSPML, LIL and Lucelec. 
 During public hearing processes, consultants and customer representatives
scrutinize the costs, actions and plans of these subsidiaries and their respective regulators determine whether to allow recovery and to adjust rates based upon the subsidiaries’ evidence and any contrary evidence from other parties. In some
circumstances, other government bodies may influence the setting of rates. The subsidiaries manage this regulatory risk through transparent regulatory disclosure, ongoing stakeholder and government consultation and multi-party engagement on aspects
such as utility operations, fuel-related audits, rate filings and capital plans. The subsidiaries employ a collaborative regulatory approach through technical conferences and, where appropriate, negotiated settlements. 

On April 13, 2016, in association with a distribution rate application, the MPUC ordered an audit of Emera Maine’s implementation of its new customer
information system and customer service performance, including billing and reliability. The audit is expected to commence in Q2 2016 and conclude in the second half of 2016. 

Changes in Environmental Legislation 
 Emera is subject to regulation by
federal, provincial, state, regional and local authorities with regard to environmental matters; primarily related to its utility operations. This includes laws setting greenhouse gas emissions standards and air emissions standards. Emera is also
subject to laws regarding the generation, storage, transportation, use and disposal of hazardous substances and materials. 
 In addition to imposing continuing
compliance obligations, there are permit requirements, laws and regulations authorizing the imposition of penalties for non-compliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. The cost of complying with current and future
environmental requirements is, and may be, material to Emera. Failure to comply with environmental requirements or to recover environmental costs in a timely manner through rates could have a material adverse effect on Emera. 

New emission reductions requirements for the utilities sector are being established by governments in Canada and the United States. Changes to greenhouse gas emissions
standards and air emissions standards could adversely affect Emera’s operations and financial performance. Stricter environmental laws and enforcement of such laws in the future could increase Emera’s exposure to additional liabilities and
costs. These changes could also affect earnings and strategy by changing the nature and timing of capital investments. 
 Emera manages its environmental risk by
operating in a manner that is respectful and protective of the environment and with the objective of achieving full compliance with applicable laws, legislation and company policies and standards. Emera has implemented this policy through the
development and application of environmental management systems in its operating subsidiaries. Comprehensive audit programs are also in place to regularly test compliance with such laws, policies and standards. 

Commercial Relationships 
 The Company is exposed to commercial relationship
risk in respect of its reliance on certain key partners, supplies and customers. The company manages its commercial relationship risk by monitoring credit risk, and monitoring of significant developments with its customers, partners and suppliers.

 ENL 
 Emera and Nalcor Energy
executed agreements pertaining to the development and transmission of hydroelectric power from Muskrat Falls in Labrador to the island of Newfoundland, the Province of Nova Scotia and through to New England. In exchange for the Company’s
investment in the Maritime Link Project, estimated to be approximately $1.56 billion, Nalcor has agreed to provide 20 per cent of the output of the Muskrat Falls generating station. 

Interest Rate Risk 
 The Company utilizes a combination of fixed and floating
rate debt financing for operations and capital expenditures, resulting in an exposure to interest rate risk. The Company seeks to manage interest rate risk through a portfolio approach that includes the use of fixed and floating rate debt with
staggered maturities. The Company will, from time to time, issue long-term debt or enter into interest rate hedging contracts to limit its exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rate debt. 

For the Company’s regulated subsidiaries, the cost of debt is generally passed through to ratepayers. While regulatory ROE rates will generally and indirectly
follow the direction of interest rates, regulatory ROE’s are likely to fall in times of reducing interest rates and raise in times of increasing interest rates, albeit not directly and generally with a lag period reflecting the regulatory
process. Rising interest rates may also negatively affect the economic viability of project development initiatives. 
 The Company is subject to interest rate risk
relating to certain sources of expected funds to effect the pending TECO Energy acquisition. Any movement in interest rates could affect the underlying cost of the instrument used to fund the acquisition. The Company may enter into interest rate
hedging contracts to limit its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. 
 Commodity Prices and Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuations 

A substantial amount of the Company’s fuel supply comes from international suppliers and is subject to commodity price risk. Fuel contracts may be exposed to
broader global conditions which may include impacts on delivery reliability and price, despite contracted terms. The Company seeks to manage this risk through the use of financial hedging instruments and physical contracts. In addition, the adoption
and implementation of FAMs in certain subsidiaries has further helped manage this risk. The regulatory framework for the Company’s rate-regulated subsidiaries permits the recovery of prudently incurred costs. 

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward and swap contracts to limit exposure on foreign currency transactions such as fuel purchases and USD revenue streams.

 The cash consideration for the pending TECO Energy acquisition is required to be paid in US dollars, a portion of which will be raised in Canadian dollars. As a
result, increases in the value of the US dollar versus the Canadian dollar will increase the purchase price translated in Canadian dollars and thereby increase the Canadian dollars required to fund the USD purchase price for the acquisition
ultimately obtained by the Company. 
 The proceeds of the first instalment of the Debenture Offering were invested in short-term US dollar investment grade
securities. 
 During October 2015, Emera entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to economically hedge an amount equal to the anticipated proceeds from the
second instalment of the Debenture Offering of the pending TECO Energy acquisition of $1.457 billion. These foreign exchange forward contracts are economic hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. Therefore, all mark-to-market gains and
losses will be recognized in net income for the period. In addition, the operations of TECO Energy are conducted in US dollars. Following the acquisition, the consolidated net income of Emera will be impacted to a greater extent by
movements in the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

27. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES 
 The Company performs ongoing analysis to
assess whether it holds any VIEs. To identify potential VIEs, management reviews contracts under leases, long-term purchase power agreements, tolling contracts and jointly-owned facilities.

VIEs of which the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary must be consolidated. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has both the power to direct the activities of
the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. In circumstances where Emera is not deemed the primary beneficiary, the
VIE is accounted for using the equity method. 
 For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company has identified the following significant VIEs: 

Emera holds a variable interest in NSPML, a VIE for which it was determined that Emera was not the primary beneficiary since it does not have the controlling financial
interest of NSPML. In Q2 2014, critical milestones were achieved and Nalcor Energy was deemed the beneficiary of the asset for financial reporting purposes, as they have authority over the majority of the direct activities that are expected to
most significantly impact the economic performance of the Maritime Link Project. Thus, Emera records the Maritime Link Project as an equity investment.

 ECI has established a Self Insurance Fund (“SIF”) primarily for the purpose of building a fund to cover risk
against damage and consequential loss to certain generating, transmission and distribution systems. ECI holds a variable interest in the SIF for which it was determined that ECI was the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, the SIF must be
consolidated by ECI. In its determination that ECI controls the SIF, management considered that, in substance, the activities of the SIF are being conducted on behalf of ECI’s subsidiary BLPC and BLPC, alone, obtains the benefits from the
SIF’s operations. Additionally, because ECI, through BLPC, has rights to all the benefits of the SIF, it is also exposed to the risks related to the activities of the SIF.

The Company has identified certain long-term purchase power agreements that could be defined as variable interests as the Company has to purchase all or a majority of
the electricity generation at a fixed price. However, it was determined that the Company was not the primary beneficiary since it lacked the power to direct the activities of the entity, including the ability to operate the generating facilities and
make management decisions. 
 Emera’s consolidated VIE in the BLPC SIF is recorded as an “Available-for-sale investment” and “Restricted
cash”. The following table provides information about Emera’s portion of significant consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs:
