NON-GAAP MEASURES

We use the following non-GAAP measures:

EBITDA

EBIT

·	comparable earnings

·	comparable earnings per common share

·	comparable EBITDA

·	comparable EBIT

·	comparable depreciation and amortization

·	comparable interest expense

·	comparable interest income and other

·	comparable income taxes

·	funds generated from operations.

TRANSCANADA [4

SECOND QUARTER 2013

These measures do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities.

EBITDA and EBIT

We use EBITDA as an approximate measure of our pre-tax operating cash flow. It measures our earnings before deducting interest and other financial charges, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to non-controlling interests and preferred share dividends, and includes income from equity investments. EBIT measures our earnings from ongoing operations and is an effective measure of our performance and an effective tool for evaluating trends in each segment. It is calculated in the same way as EBITDA, less depreciation and amortization.

Funds generated from operations

Funds generated from operations includes net cash provided by operations before changes in operating working capital. We believe it is an effective measure of our consolidated operating cashflow because it does not include fluctuations from working capital balances, which do not necessarily reflect underlying operations in the same period. See Financial condition section for a reconciliation to net cash provided by operations.

Comparable measures

We calculate the comparable measures by adjusting certain GAAP and non-GAAP measures for specific items we believe are significant but not reflective of our underlying operations in the period. These comparable measures are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period and are adjusted for specific items in each period, as applicable.

Comparable measure	Original measure

comparable earnings	net income attributable to common shares
comparable earnings per common share	net income per common share
comparable EBITDA	EBITDA
comparable EBIT	EBIT
comparable depreciation and amortization	depreciation and amortization
comparable interest expense	interest expense
comparable interest income and other	interest income and other
comparable income taxes	income tax expense/(recovery)

Our decision not to include a specific item is subjective and made after careful consideration. These may include:

·	certain fair value adjustments relating to risk management activities

·	income tax refunds and adjustments

·	gains or losses on sales of assets

·	legal and bankruptcy settlements, and

·	write-downs of assets and investments.

In our calculation of comparable earnings, we exclude unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of certain derivatives used to reduce our exposure to certain financial and commodity price risks. These derivatives provide effective economic hedges, but do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. As a result, the changes in fair value are recorded in net income. As these amounts do not accurately reflect the gains and losses that will be realized at settlement, we do not consider them part of our underlying operations.

SECOND QUARTER 2013

Results - second quarter 2013

Net income attributable to common shares was $365 million this quarter compared to $272 million in second quarter 2012. Second quarter 2013 results included a $25 million favourable income tax adjustment due to the enactment of Canadian Federal tax legislation relating to Part VI.I tax, in June 2013 and was excluded from comparable earnings. Second quarter 2012 included an after-tax charge of $37 million ($50 million pre-tax) related to the impact of the Sundance A PPA arbitration decision. Of this amount, $15 million ($20 million pre-tax) is excluded from 2012 comparable earnings as it related to 2011.

Net income attributable to common shares was $811 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $624 million for the same period in 2012. The 2013 results included $84 million of net income related to 2012 from the NEB decision on the Canadian Restructuring Proposal. Also included was the $25 million of net income resulting from the favourable income tax adjustment noted above. These amounts were excluded from comparable earnings. The 2012 results included an after-tax charge of $15 million ($20 million pre-tax) that was excluded from 2012 comparable earnings as it related to 2011.

Comparable earnings this quarter were $357 million and $0.51 per share, $57 million and $0.08 per share higher than second quarter 2012.

This was the result of:

·	higher earnings from Western Power because of higher realized power prices, higher purchased PPA volumes as well as the Sundance A PPA charge recorded in second quarter 2012

·	higher equity income from Bruce Power because of incremental earnings from Units 1 and 2, which were returned to service in October 2012, and the completion of the Unit 3 West Shift Plus planned outage in June 2012, partially offset by higher planned outage days in second quarter 2013

·	higher realized power prices from U.S. Power

·	higher earnings from the Canadian Mainline because of the higher ROE of 11.50 per cent in 2013 compared to 8.08 per cent in 2012.

These increases were partly offset by:

·	lower contribution from U.S. natural gas pipelines

·	higher comparable interest expense reflecting lower capitalized interest primarily as a result of the return to service of Bruce Power Units 1 and 2

·	lower comparable interest income and other because we had realized losses in 2013 compared to realized gains in 2012 on derivatives used to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on U.S. dollar-denominated income

·	higher comparable income taxes because of higher pre-tax earnings.

Comparable earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $727 million and $1.03 per share, $64 million and $0.09 per share higher than the same period in 2012.

This was the result of:

·	higher equity income from Bruce Power because of incremental earnings from Units 1, 2 and 3 and the recognition of an insurance recovery in first quarter 2013 partly offset by an increase in planned outage days

·	higher realized power prices in Western Power and U.S. Power

·	higher earnings from the Canadian Mainline because of the higher ROE of 11.50 per cent in 2013 compared to 8.08 per cent in 2012.

These increases were partly offset by:

·	lower contribution from U.S. natural gas pipelines

·	lower comparable interest income and other because we had realized losses in 2013 compared to realized gains in 2012 on derivatives used to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on U.S. dollar-denominated income

·	higher comparable income taxes because of higher pre-tax earnings.

TRANSCANADA [8

SECOND QUARTER 2013

Comparable earnings do not include net unrealized after-tax losses resulting from changes in the fair value of certain risk management activities:

·	$17 million ($27 million before tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $13 million ($14 million before tax) for the same period in 2012

·	$25 million ($37 million before tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $24 million ($36 million before tax) for the same period in 2012.

Outlook

While the NEB’s March 27, 2013 decision on the Canadian Restructuring Proposal for tolls and services on the Canadian Mainline may result in increased variability and seasonality of cash flow, we expect it to have a positive impact on the earnings outlook for 2013 previously included in our 2012 Annual Report. The NEB approved an allowed ROE of 11.50 per cent on 40 per cent deemed common equity ratio, multi-year tolls through 2017 and a new incentive mechanism. In addition, we expect the recent increase in 2013 power prices in Western Power to also have a positive impact on our previously disclosed earnings outlook for 2013. See the MD&A in our 2012 Annual Report for further information about our outlook.

CANADIAN PIPELINES

Comparable EBITDA and net income for our rate-regulated Canadian Pipelines are affected by our approved ROE, our investment base, the level of deemed common equity and incentive earnings. Changes in depreciation, financial charges and taxes also impact comparable EBITDA and EBIT but do not impact net income as they are recovered in revenue on a flow-through basis.

Canadian Mainline’s comparable earnings increased by $21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 because of the impact of the NEB’s March 2013 decision (the NEB decision) on the Canadian Restructuring Proposal. Among other items, the NEB approved an ROE of 11.50 per cent on a 40 per cent deemed common equity for the years 2012 through to 2017 compared to the last approved ROE of 8.08 per cent on a deemed common equity of 40 per cent that was used to record earnings in 2012. Net income of $218 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $84 million related to the 2012 impact of the NEB decision.

Net income for the NGTL System (formerly known as the Alberta System) increased by $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012 because of a higher average investment base and termination of the annual fixed OM&A costs component included in the 2010 - 2012 Revenue Requirement Settlement which expired at the end of 2012. Results for 2013 reflect the last approved ROE of 9.70 per cent on deemed common equity of 40 per cent and no incentive earnings.

U.S. PIPELINES AND INTERNATIONAL

EBITDA for our U.S. operations is generally affected by contracted volume levels, volumes delivered and the rates charged, as well as by the cost of providing services, including OM&A and property taxes. ANR is also affected by the contracting and pricing of its storage capacity and incidental commodity sales.

Comparable EBITDA for the U.S. and international pipelines was US$155 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and US$410 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to US$203 million and US$473 million for the same periods in 2012. This was the net effect of:

·	higher costs at ANR relating to services provided by other pipelines as well as lower second quarter revenues

·	lower revenues at Great Lakes because of lower rates and uncontracted capacity

·	lower contributions from TransGas and Gas Pacifico/INNERGY

·	higher short term and interruptible revenues at Portland.

COMPARABLE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Comparable depreciation and amortization was $245 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $485 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $234 million and $466 million for the same periods in 2012 mainly because of a higher investment base on the NGTL System and the impact of the NEB decision on the Canadian Mainline.

Western Power’s comparable EBITDA increased by $96 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was mainly due to:

·	increased equity income from the ASTC Power Partnership mainly due to higher power prices

·	the Sundance A PPA force majeure arbitration charge recorded in second quarter 2012

·	higher purchased PPA volumes due to fewer outage days

·	higher realized power prices.

Western Power’s comparable EBITDA increased by $44 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period 2012. The increase was mainly due to:

·	increased equity income from the ASTC Power Partnership mainly due to higher power prices

·	higher purchased PPA volumes due to fewer outage days

·	higher realized power prices.

In first quarter 2012, we recorded revenues and costs related to the Sundance A PPA as though the outages of Units 1 and 2 were interruptions of supply in accordance with the terms of the PPA. In July 2012, we received the Sundance A PPA arbitration decision which determined the units were in force majeure in first quarter 2012. In response, we recorded a charge of $30 million in second quarter 2012 equivalent to the pre-tax income we had recorded in first quarter 2012. Because the plant continues to be in force majeure, we will not record further revenues and costs until the units are returned to service. See Recent Developments - Energy in this MD&A for more information about the expected return to service of Units 1 and 2.

Average spot market power prices in Alberta increased by 207 per cent to $123 per MWh for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 88 per cent to $94 per MWh for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012. These increases were mainly the result of plant outages and increased power demand.

TRANSCANADA [16

SECOND QUARTER 2013

Western Power’s revenue increased by $55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 because of higher purchased PPA volumes and higher realized power prices.

Western Power’s revenue decreased by $27 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 because of the Sundance A PPA revenue recorded in first quarter 2012 offset by higher purchased PPA volumes.

Western Power’s commodity purchases resold increased by $39 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 because of higher purchased PPA volumes. Western Power’s commodity purchases resold increased by $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 due to higher purchased PPA volumes offset by the Sundance A PPA costs recorded in first quarter 2012.

Income from Equity Investments increased by $72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. Higher earnings from ASTC Power Partnership, which holds the Sundance B PPA, reflected higher Alberta spot power prices and higher earnings from Portlands Energy were the result of an unplanned outage in second quarter 2012.

Plant operating costs and other, which includes natural gas fuel consumed in power generation, increased by $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. The increases were mainly due to higher natural gas fuel prices in 2013.

Approximately 78 per cent of Western Power sales volumes were sold under contract this quarter compared to 89 per cent in second quarter 2012. To reduce exposure to spot market prices in Alberta, Western Power enters into fixed price forward sales to secure future revenue and a portion of our power is retained to be sold in the spot market or under shorter-term forward arrangements. The amount sold forward will vary depending on market conditions and market liquidity and has historically ranged between 25 to 75 per cent of expected future production with a higher proportion being hedged in the near term periods. Such forward sales may be completed with medium and large industrial and commercial companies and other market participants and will affect our average realized price (versus spot price) in future periods.

Equity income from Bruce A increased by $74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $143 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. The increases were mainly due to:

·	incremental earnings from Units 1 and 2 which returned to service in October 2012

·	higher earnings from Unit 3 due to the West Shift Plus planned outage during first and second quarter 2012

·	recognition in first quarter 2013 of an insurance recovery of approximately $40 million related to the May 2012 Unit 2 electrical generator failure and the impact the event had on Bruce A in 2012 and 2013.

These increases were partially offset by the impact of the Unit 4 life extension planned outage which began in August 2012 and was completed in April 2013.

Equity income from Bruce B decreased by $46 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. These decreases were mainly due to lower volumes and higher operating costs resulting from higher planned outage days and higher lease expense.

TRANSCANADA [18

SECOND QUARTER 2013

Provisions in the Bruce B lease agreement with Ontario Power Generation provide for a reduction in annual lease expense if the annual average Ontario spot price for electricity is less than $30 per MWh. Lease expense recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 reflected an annual average spot price below $30 per MWh. At this time, it is uncertain if the annual average spot price will be below $30 per MWh in 2013 and therefore no reduction to 2013 rent expense was recorded in second quarter 2013.

Under the contract with the OPA, all of the output from Bruce A is sold at a fixed price per MWh. The fixed price is adjusted annually on April 1 for inflation and other provisions under the OPA contract. Bruce A also recovers fuel costs from the OPA.

Bruce A Fixed price	Per MWh

April 1, 2013 - March 31, 2014	$70.96
April 1, 2012 - March 31, 2013	$68.23
April 1, 2011 - March 31, 2012	$66.33

Under the same contract, all output from Bruce B is subject to a floor price adjusted annually for inflation on April 1.

Bruce B Floor price	Per MWh

April 1, 2013 - March 31, 2014	$52.34
April 1, 2012 - March 31, 2013	$51.62
April 1, 2011 - March 31, 2012	$50.18

Amounts received under the Bruce B floor price mechanism within a calendar year are subject to repayment if the monthly average spot price exceeds the floor price. We currently expect 2013 spot prices to be less than the floor price for the year and therefore no amounts received under the floor price mechanism in 2013 are expected to be repaid.

Bruce B also enters into fixed-price contracts under which it receives or pays the difference between the contract price and the spot price.

The overall plant availability percentage in 2013 is expected to be in the mid 80s for Bruce A and the high 80s for Bruce B. No further planned maintenance is scheduled for the remainder of 2013.

U.S. Power’s comparable EBITDA was US$80 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and US$147 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to US$38 million and US$74 million for the same periods in 2012. These increases included the net effect of:

·	higher realized power prices

·	higher realized capacity prices in New York

·	higher revenues on sales to wholesale, commercial and industrial customers

·	higher operating costs due to higher fuel prices.

Commodity prices were higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. In 2012, oversupply conditions in the North American natural gas market reduced these prices. In 2013, natural gas prices recovered and storage levels fell primarily due to colder first quarter weather. The increase in gas prices has translated into higher spot power prices in the predominantly gas-fired New England and New York power markets in the first half of 2013.

Physical sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were higher than the same periods in 2012 due to higher purchased volumes to serve increased sales to wholesale, commercial and industrial customers in the New England and PJM markets. Generation volumes were slightly lower, mainly due to lower generation in our natural gas fueled facilities in both New York and New England partly offset by a higher generation at our hydro facilities.

Power revenue was US$317 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and US$750 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to US$233 million and US$428 million for the same periods in 2012. This was mainly due to the combination of higher realized power prices and higher sales volumes to wholesale, commercial and industrial customers.

Capacity revenue was US$77 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and US$124 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to US$66 million and US$106 million for the same periods in 2012. New York Zone J spot capacity prices are approximately 10 per cent higher than last year on a year to date basis. This increase in spot capacity prices and the impact of hedging activities resulted in higher realized prices in New York, partially offset by lower capacity prices in New England.

Commodity purchases resold were US$197 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and US$503 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to US$163 million and US$280 million for the same periods in 2012 because we purchased higher volumes of power at higher prices to fulfill increased power sales commitments to wholesale, commercial and industrial customers at higher realized power prices.

Plant operating costs and other, which includes fuel gas consumed in generation, increased by US$30 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and US$65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 because of higher natural gas fuel prices.

SECOND QUARTER 2013

As at June 30, 2013, approximately 2,200 GWh or 44 per cent of U.S. Power’s planned generation is contracted for the remainder of 2013, and 2,500 GWh or 28 per cent for 2014. Planned generation fluctuates depending on hydrology, wind conditions, commodity prices and the resulting dispatch of the assets. Power sales fluctuate based on customer usage.

Recent developments

NATURAL GAS PIPELINES

NEB decision on the Canadian Restructuring Proposal

On March 27, 2013, the NEB issued its decision on our application to change the business structure and the terms and conditions of service for the Canadian Mainline, including tolls for 2012 and 2013. The decision significantly alters the regulatory framework that has formed the basis for more than $10 billion of regulated pipeline investment over the last sixty years.

On May 1, 2013, we filed an application for a review and variance of the decision and order. The NEB dismissed the review and variance application on June 11, 2013, and released its reasons for the dismissal on July 22, 2013. The NEB did however recognize that changes proposed by us to the Canadian Mainline’s Tariff would be considered as a separate application through an oral hearing process to be heard in September.

We are effectively operating under the new decision environment as of July 1. We have submitted the tariff change application and will manage that process through the oral hearing and await a decision on those changes.

NGTL System expansion projects

We continued to expand the NGTL System (formerly known as the Alberta System) and have placed $700 million of new facilities in service in 2013. We have applied and received approval from the NEB for an additional $130 million of new facilities. To date in 2013, we have applied for an additional $145 million of facilities that remain subject to NEB approval. We are planning regulatory applications for further expansion into B.C. and estimate the cost of the facilities to be between $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion to connect and transport new gas supply that will be delivered to the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (PRGT) as well as other markets served by the NGTL System. In third quarter 2013, we expect to begin an open season to provide delivery service through a transportation by others arrangement on Coastal GasLink to Vanderhoof, B.C.

Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project

The British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office issued its Section 10 Order in June 2013 indicating that the project is reviewable and requires an environmental assessment certificate. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) initiated the public comment period with respect to the project in June 2013.

Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project

We are currently focused on community, landowner, government and First Nations engagement as the Coastal GasLink pipeline project advances through the regulatory process with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and the CEAA.

Portland Natural Gas Transmission System

We concluded an open season in June 2013 with certain markets throughout the Northeast U.S. and Atlantic Canada expressing interest and others indicating an interest in turning back portions of our capacity. The interest generated for incremental capacity did not meet the threshold level required to go forward with an increase in capacity at this time. PNGTS continues to look for market opportunities to further develop growth of the system.

Sale of U.S. Pipeline assets to TC PipeLines, LP

In July 2013, we closed the sale of a 45 per cent interest in each of Gas Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN LLC) and Bison Pipeline LLC (Bison LLC) to TC PipeLines, LP for an aggregate purchase price of US$1.05 billion, which included US$146 million representing 45 per cent of GTN's debt, plus closing adjustments for working capital of $17 million.

Through our subsidiaries, we continue to hold a 30 per cent direct ownership interest in both pipelines. We also hold 28.9 per cent interest in TC PipeLines, LP and are the General Partner.

SECOND QUARTER 2013

Mexican Pipelines

The construction of the Tamazunchale Pipeline Extension project and related compression facilities is proceeding. The Topolobampo and Mazatlan projects in northwest Mexico are advancing as planned with engineering and permitting activities.

OIL PIPELINES

Gulf Coast Project

We are constructing a 36-inch pipeline from Cushing, Oklahoma to the U.S. Gulf Coast and expect to begin delivering crude oil to Port Arthur, Texas at the end of 2013. Construction is approximately 85 per cent complete and we estimate the cost of the Cushing to Port Arthur facilities to be US$2.3 billion.

Construction of the 76 km (47 mile) Houston Lateral pipeline to transport crude oil to Houston refineries is expected to be complete in 2014 at a cost of US$300 million.

The Gulf Coast Project will have a capacity of up to 700,000 barrels per day.

Keystone XL Pipeline

In January 2013, the Governor of Nebraska approved our proposed re-route after the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality issued its final evaluation report noting that construction and operation of Keystone XL is expected to have minimal environmental impacts in Nebraska.

On March 1, 2013, the U.S. DOS released its Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Keystone XL Pipeline. The impact statement reaffirmed that construction of the proposed pipeline from the U.S./Canada border in Montana to Steele City, Nebraska would not result in any significant impact to the environment. The DOS continues to review comments on the impact statement that it received during a public comment period that ended on April 22, 2013. Once the DOS has completed its review, it is anticipated it will issue a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and then consult with other governmental agencies and provide an additional opportunity for the public comment during a National Interest Determination period of up to 90 days, before making a decision on our Presidential Permit application.

We now anticipate the pipeline to be in service approximately two years following the receipt of the Presidential Permit. The US$5.3 billion cost estimate will increase depending on the timing of the permit. As of June 30, 2013, we had invested US$1.9 billion in the project.

Energy East Pipeline

On June 17, 2013, we concluded an open season to obtain firm commitments for a pipeline to transport up to 850,000 Bbl/d of crude oil from western receipt points to eastern Canadian markets and are currently reviewing the results.

The Energy East Pipeline project involves converting natural gas pipeline capacity in approximately 3,000 km (1,870 miles) of our existing Canadian Mainline to crude oil service and constructing up to approximately 1,400 km (870 miles) of new pipeline.

We have begun Aboriginal and stakeholder engagement and associated field work as part of our initial design and planning. If we determine that there is sufficient commercial support for the project, we will apply for regulatory approval to build and operate the facilities, with a potential in-service date of late 2017.

Northern Courier Pipeline

On April 25, 2013, we filed a permit application with the Alberta Energy Regulator after completing the required Aboriginal and stakeholder engagement and associated field work. We continue to work with the Fort Hills Energy Limited Partnership on the development of this project.

Heartland Pipeline and TC Terminals

On May 2, 2013, we announced we had reached binding long-term shipping agreements to build, own and operate the proposed Heartland Pipeline and TC Terminals projects.

The proposed projects will include a 200 km (125 mile) crude oil pipeline connecting the Edmonton region to facilities in Hardisty, Alberta, and a terminal facility in the Heartland industrial area north of Edmonton. We anticipate the pipeline could transport up to 900,000 Bbl/d, while the terminal is expected to have storage capacity for up to 1.9 million barrels of crude oil. These projects together have a combined cost estimated at $900 million and are expected to come into service during the second half of 2015.

TRANSCANADA [23

SECOND QUARTER 2013

On May 30, 2013, we filed a permit application for the terminal facility with the Alberta Energy Regulator and expect to file an application for the pipeline later in 2013.

Grand Rapids Pipeline

On May 23, 2013, we filed a permit application with the Alberta Energy Regulator after completing the required Aboriginal and stakeholder engagement and associated field work.

ENERGY

Ontario Solar

In late 2011, we agreed to buy nine Ontario solar projects (combined capacity of 86 MW) from Canadian Solar Solutions Inc. for approximately $470 million. On June 28, 2013, we completed the acquisition of the first project for $55 million. We expect to close the acquisition of the remaining projects in 2013 and 2014, subject to satisfactory completion of the related construction activities and regulatory approvals. All power produced will be sold under 20-year PPAs with the OPA.

Sundance A

TransAlta previously announced that it expected Sundance A Units 1 and 2 to be returned to service in the fall of 2013. They subsequently reported an earlier return to service date for Unit 1 of July 31, 2013. TransAlta has not announced any change in the return to service date for Unit 2.

Bruce Power

Bruce Power returned Unit 4 to service on April 13, 2013 after completing an expanded life extension outage investment program which began in August 2012. It is anticipated that this investment will allow Unit 4 to operate until at least 2021.

On April 5, 2013, Bruce Power announced that it had reached an agreement with the OPA to extend the Bruce B floor price through to the end of the decade which is expected to coincide with the 2019 and 2020 end of life dates for the Bruce B units.

Bécancour

In June 2013, Hydro-Québec notified us that it would exercise its option to extend the agreement to suspend all electricity generation from the Bécancour power plant through 2014. Under the suspension agreement, Hydro-Québec has the option (subject to certain conditions) to extend the suspension every year until regional electricity demand levels recover. We continue to receive capacity payments while generation is suspended.

·	lower capitalized interest as a result of placing the refurbished units at Bruce Power in service, partially offset by increased capitalized interest for the Gulf Coast Project

·	lower interest expense due to Canadian and U.S. dollar-denominated debt maturities, partially offset by debt issues of US$750 million in January 2013, US$1 billion in August 2012 and US$500 million in March 2012.

Comparable interest income and other was a loss of $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and a gain of $16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to gains of $19 million and $44 million for the same periods in 2012 because we had realized losses in 2013 compared to realized gains in 2012 on derivatives used to manage our net exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on U.S. dollar-denominated income.

Comparable income taxes were $133 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $292 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $91 million and $231 million for the same periods in 2012. The increase was mainly the result of higher pre-tax earnings in 2013 compared to 2012 combined with changes in the proportion of income earned between Canadian and foreign jurisdictions.

SECOND QUARTER 2013

Financial condition

We strive to maintain financial strength and flexibility in all parts of an economic cycle, and rely on our operating cash flows to sustain our business, pay dividends and fund a portion of our growth.

We access capital markets to meet our financing needs, manage our capital structure and preserve our credit ratings.

We believe we have the capacity to fund our existing capital program through predictable cash flow from our operations, access to the capital markets, cash on hand and substantial committed credit facilities.

At June 30, 2013, our current assets were $2.8 billion and current liabilities were $6.7 billion, leaving us with a working capital deficit of $3.9 billion compared to $3.1 billion at the end of 2012. This working capital deficiency is considered to be in the normal course of business and is managed through our ability to generate cash flow and our ongoing access to the capital markets.

In March 2013, we completed a public offering of 24 million Series 7 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares at a price of $25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $600 million. Investors will be entitled to receive fixed cumulative dividends at an annual rate of $1.00 per share, payable quarterly. Investors will have the right to convert their shares into cumulative redeemable first preferred shares, Series 8, every fifth year beginning on April 30, 2019. The holders of Series 8 shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative dividends at an annualized rate equal to the then 90 day Government of Canada treasury bill rate plus 2.38 per cent.

In June 2013, we retired $350 million of 4.00 per cent senior notes.

In July 2013, we issued US$500 million of three-year London Interbank Offered Rate-based floating rate notes maturing on June 30, 2016, bearing interest at an initial annual rate of 0.95 per cent.

Also in July 2013, we issued $450 million of ten-year and $300 million of 30-year medium term notes maturing on July 19, 2023 and November 15, 2041, bearing interest rates of 3.69 and 4.55 per cent per annum, respectively. The net proceeds of these offerings are intended to be used for general corporate purposes and to reduce short-term indebtedness, which was used to fund a portion of our capital program.

In May 2013, TC PipeLines, LP completed a public offering of 8,855,000 common units at US$43.85 per common unit for gross proceeds of US$388 million. We contributed an additional approximate US$8 million to maintain our general partnership interest and did not purchase any other units. Upon completion of this offering, our ownership interest in TC PipeLines, LP decreased from 33.3 per cent to 28.9 per cent.

In July 2013, TC PipeLines, LP entered into a five-year, US$500 million term loan, maturing July 2018. The proceeds from the public offering, term loan and partner contribution were used to finance the acquisition of the 45 per cent interest in GTN and Bison from us.

SECOND QUARTER 2013

Financial risks and financial instruments

We are exposed to liquidity risk, counterparty credit risk and market risk, and have strategies, policies and limits in place to mitigate their impact on our earnings, cash flow and ultimately shareholder value. These are designed to ensure our risks and related exposures are in line with our business objectives and risk tolerance.

Please see our 2012 Annual Report for more information about the risks we face in our business. In addition to those disclosed risks, in the NEB’s March 2013 decision on our Canadian Restructuring Proposal, the NEB found that the fundamental business risk facing the Canadian Mainline has increased. The tolling framework created by the NEB decision results in higher variability in cash flows and greater uncertainty about the ultimate recovery of the Canadian Mainline’s cost of service. Otherwise, our risks have not changed substantially since December 31, 2012.

LIQUIDITY RISK

We manage our liquidity risk by continuously forecasting our cash requirements for a 12 month period and making sure we have adequate cash balances, cash flow from operations, committed and demand credit facilities and access to capital markets to meet our operating, financing and capital expenditure obligations under both normal and stressed economic conditions.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK

We have exposure to counterparty credit risk in the following areas:

·	accounts receivable

·	portfolio investments

·	the fair value of derivative assets

·	notes, loans and advances receivable.

We review our accounts receivable regularly and record allowances for doubtful accounts using the specific identification method. At June 30, 2013, we had not incurred any significant credit losses and had no significant amounts past due or impaired. We had a credit risk concentration of $263 million with one counterparty at June 30, 2013 (December 31, 2012 - $259 million). This amount is secured by a guarantee from the counterparty’s parent company and we anticipate collecting the full amount.

We have significant credit and performance exposure to financial institutions because they hold cash deposits and provide committed credit lines and letters of credit that help manage our exposure to counterparties and provide liquidity in commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate derivative markets.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Certain of our businesses generate income in U.S. dollars, but since we report in Canadian dollars, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar can affect our net income. As our U.S. operations continue to grow, our exposure to changes in currency rates increases. Some of this risk is offset by interest expense on U.S. dollar-denominated debt and by using foreign exchange derivatives.

We use foreign exchange derivatives to manage other foreign exchange transactions, including foreign exchange exposures that arise on some of our regulated assets. We defer some of the realized gains and losses on these derivatives as regulatory assets and liabilities until we recover or pay them to shippers according to the terms of the shipping agreements.

AVERAGE EXCHANGE RATE - U.S. TO CANADIAN DOLLARS

Recorded at amortized cost, except for US$200 million (December 31, 2012 - US$350 million) of long-term debt that is attributed to hedged risk and recorded at fair value. This debt, which is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, is classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy using the income approach based on interest rates from external data service providers.

2	The fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities recorded at amortized cost for which the fair value is not equal to the carrying value would be included in Level II of the fair value hierarchy using the income approach based on interest rates from external data service providers.

3	At June 30, 2013, financial assets of $1.1 billion (December 31, 2012 - $1.1 billion) are included in accounts receivable, $72 million (December 31, 2012 - $40 million) in other current assets and $225 million (December 31, 2012 - $240 million) in intangible and other assets.

Condensed consolidated statement of income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included gains of $3 million and losses of $7 million, respectively, (2012 - gains of $3 million and losses of $12 million, respectively) for fair value adjustments attributable to the hedged interest rate risk associated with interest rate swap fair value hedging relationships on US$200 million of long-term debt at June 30, 2013 (December 31, 2012 - US$350 million). There were no other unrealized gains or losses from fair value adjustments to the non-derivative financial instruments.

5	At June 30, 2013, financial liabilities of $1.1 billion (December 31, 2012 - $1.5 billion) are included in accounts payable and $36 million (December 31, 2012 - $38 million) in other long-term liabilities.

All derivative instruments held for trading have been entered into for risk management purposes and are subject to our risk management strategies, policies and limits. These include derivatives that have not been designated as hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment but have been entered into as economic hedges to manage our exposure to market risk.

2	Fair values equal carrying values.

3	Volumes for power and natural gas derivatives are in GWh and Bcf, respectively.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses on held for trading derivative instruments used to purchase and sell power and natural gas are included net 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 the change in fair value of derivative instruments in hedging relationships is initially recognized in OCI and reclassified to revenues, interest expense and interest income and other, as appropriate, as the original hedged item settles.

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 $7 million and a notional amount of US$200 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net realized gains on fair value hedges were $2 million and $4 million, respectively, and were included in interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we did not record any amounts in net income related to ineffectiveness for fair value hedges.

6	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no gains or losses included in net income relating to discontinued cash flow hedges where it was probable that the anticipated transaction would not occur.

CREDIT RISK RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES

Derivatives contracts often contain financial assurance provisions that may require us to provide collateral if a credit risk-related contingent event occurs (for example, if our credit rating is downgraded to non-investment grade).

Based on contracts in place and market prices at June 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of all derivative contracts with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $36 million (December 31, 2012 - $37 million), with collateral provided in the normal course of business of nil (December 31, 2012 – nil). If the credit-risk-related contingent features in these agreements had been triggered on June 30, 2013, we would have been required to provide collateral of $36 million (December 31, 2012 - $37 million) to our counterparties. Collateral may also need to be provided should the fair value of derivative instruments exceed pre-defined contractual exposure limit thresholds.

TRANSCANADA [35

SECOND QUARTER 2013

We feel we have sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and undrawn committed revolving bank lines to meet these contingent obligations should they arise.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

Assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value are required to be categorized into three levels based on the fair value hierarchy.

Levels	How fair value has been determined
Level I	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level II	Valuation based on the extrapolation of inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level I, for which all significant inputs are observable directly or indirectly. Inputs include published exchange rates, interest rates, interest rate swap curves, yield curves and broker quotes from external data service providers. This category includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using the income approach and power and natural gas commodity derivatives where fair value is determined using the market approach.
Level III	Valuation of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis using a market approach based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. This category includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low. Long-term electricity prices are estimated using a third-party modeling tool which takes into account physical operating characteristics of generation facilities in the markets in which we operate. Model inputs include market fundamentals such as fuel prices, power supply additions and retirements, power demand, seasonal hydro conditions and transmission constraints. Long-term North American natural gas prices are based on a view of future natural gas supply and demand, as well as exploration and development costs. Significant decreases in fuel prices or demand for electricity or natural gas, or increases in the supply of electricity or natural gas is expected to or may result in a lower fair value measurement of contracts included in Level III.

The fair value of our assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, including both current and non-current positions.

A 10 per cent increase or decrease in commodity prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in a $5 million decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of outstanding derivative instruments included in Level III at June 30, 2013.

Other information

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management, including our President and CEO and our CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as at June 30, 2013, as required by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and by the SEC, and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in second quarter 2013 that had or are likely to have a material impact on our internal control over financial reporting.

Management is in the process of implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that will likely affect some processes supporting internal control over financial reporting. The phased implementation period, originally planned to begin July 1, 2013, has been deferred to January 2014.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES, AND ACCOUNTING CHANGES

When we prepare financial statements that conform with U.S. GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amount we record for our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses because these items may be affected by future events. We base the estimates and assumptions on the most current information available, using our best judgment. We also regularly assess the assets and liabilities themselves.

Our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates have remained unchanged since December 31, 2012 other than described below. You can find a summary of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates in our 2012 Annual Report.

Changes in accounting policies for 2013

Balance sheet offsetting/netting

Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted the ASU on disclosures about balance sheet offsetting as issued by the FASB to enable understanding of the effects of netting arrangements on our financial position. Adoption of the ASU has resulted in increased qualitative and quantitative disclosures about certain derivative instruments that are either offset in accordance with current U.S. GAAP or are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement.

Accumulated other comprehensive income

Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted the ASU on reporting of amounts reclassified out of AOCI as issued by the FASB. Adoption of the ASU has resulted in providing additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures about significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI into net income.

Future accounting changes

Obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance for recognizing, measuring, and disclosing obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements when the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. Debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings are examples of these obligations. This ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are evaluating the impact that adopting the ASU would have on our consolidated financial statements, but do not expect it to be material.

Foreign currency matters - cumulative translation adjustment

In March 2013, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is allowed as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year. We are evaluating the impact that adopting this ASU would have on our consolidated financial statements, but do not expect it to be material.

FACTORS AFFECTING QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Quarter-over-quarter revenues and net incomes sometimes fluctuate. The causes of these fluctuations vary across our business segments.

In Natural Gas Pipelines, quarter-over-quarter revenues and net income generally remain relatively stable during any fiscal year. Over the long term, however, they fluctuate because of:

·	regulators' decisions

·	negotiated settlements with shippers

·	seasonal fluctuations in short-term throughput volumes on U.S. pipelines

·	acquisitions and divestitures

·	developments outside of the normal course of operations

·	newly constructed assets being placed in service.

In Oil Pipelines, annual revenues and net income are based on contracted crude oil transportation and uncommitted spot transportation. Quarter-over-quarter revenues and net income during any particular fiscal year remain relatively stable.

In Energy, quarter-over-quarter revenues and net income are affected by:

weather

·	customer demand

·	market prices

·	capacity prices and payments

·	planned and unplanned plant outages

·	acquisitions and divestitures

·	certain fair value adjustments

·	developments outside of the normal course of operations

·	newly constructed assets being placed in service.

SECOND QUARTER REPORT 2013

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements

(unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements of TransCanada Corporation (TransCanada or the Company) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in TransCanada’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. Capitalized and abbreviated terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein are identified in TransCanada’s 2012 Annual Report.

These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments, all of which are normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2012 audited consolidated financial statements included in TransCanada’s 2012 Annual Report. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year in the Company’s Natural Gas Pipelines segment due to the timing of regulatory decisions and seasonal fluctuations in short-term throughput volumes on U.S. pipelines. Earnings for interim periods may also not be indicative of results for the fiscal year in the Company’s Energy segment due to the impact of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand and market pricing in certain of the Company’s investments in electrical power generation plants and non-regulated gas storage facilities.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the Company’s significant accounting policies included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, except as described in Note 2, Changes in accounting policies.

2.	Changes in Accounting Policies

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR 2013

Balance Sheet Offsetting/Netting

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the ASU on disclosures about balance sheet offsetting as issued by the FASB to enable understanding of the effects of netting arrangements on the Company’s financial position. Adoption of the ASU has resulted in increased qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding certain derivative instruments that are either offset in accordance with current U.S. GAAP or are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the ASU on reporting of amounts reclassified out of AOCI as issued by the FASB. Adoption of the ASU has resulted in providing additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. Examples of obligations within the scope of this ASU include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. This ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

TRANSCANADA [46

SECOND QUARTER REPORT 2013

Foreign Currency Matters - Cumulative Translation Adjustment

In March 2013, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

4.	Income Taxes

At June 30, 2013, the total unrecognized tax benefit of uncertain tax positions was approximately $25 million (December 31, 2012 - $49 million). TransCanada recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties in income tax expense. Included in net tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is nil and $1 million, respectively, of interest expense and nil for penalties (June 30, 2012 – nil and $1 million, respectively, of interest expense and nil for penalties). At June 30, 2013, the Company had $6 million accrued for interest expense and nil accrued for penalties (December 31, 2012 - $5 million accrued for interest expense and nil for penalties).

The effective tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 19 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in 2013 was a result of the impact of the NEB’s decision on the Canadian Restructuring Proposal and the enactment of certain Canadian Federal tax legislation.

TransCanada recognized a favourable income tax adjustment of approximately $25 million due to the enactment of certain Canadian Federal tax legislation in June 2013. Subject to the results of audit examinations by taxing authorities and other legislative amendments, TransCanada does not anticipate further adjustments to the unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months that would have a material impact on its financial statements.

5.	Long-Term Debt

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, TransCanada capitalized interest related to capital projects of $60 million and $115 million, respectively (June 30, 2012 - $76 million and $150 million, respectively).

TRANSCANADA [48

SECOND QUARTER REPORT 2013

In January 2013, TransCanada PipeLines Limited issued US$750 million of 0.75 per cent senior notes due in 2016.

In June 2013, TransCanada PipeLines Limited retired US$350 million of 4.00 per cent senior notes.

6.	Equity and Share Capital

On May 22, 2013, TC PipeLines, LP completed a public offering of 8,855,000 common units at a price of $43.85 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately US$388 million. TransCanada contributed an additional approximate US$8 million to maintain its general partnership interest and did not purchase any other units. Upon completion of this offering, TransCanada’s ownership interest in TC PipeLines, LP decreased from 33.3 per cent to 28.9 per cent and an after-tax dilution impact of $29 million ($47 million pre-tax) was recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital.

PREFERRED SHARE ISSUE

In March 2013, TransCanada completed a public offering of 24 million Series 7 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares under its November 2011 equity base shelf prospectus. The Series 7 preferred shares were issued at $25 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $600 million. The holders of the Series 7 preferred shares are entitled to receive fixed cumulative dividends at an annual rate of $1.00 per share, payable quarterly. The dividend rate will reset on April 30, 2019 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 2.38 per cent. The preferred shares are redeemable by TransCanada on or after April 30, 2019 and on April 30 of every fifth year thereafter at a price of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Series 7 preferred shareholders will have the right to convert their shares into Series 8 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares on April 30, 2019 and on April 30 of every fifth year thereafter. The holders of Series 8 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 2.38 per cent.

1	All amounts are net of tax. Amounts in parentheses indicate losses.

2	Other comprehensive income before reclassifications on currency translation adjustments is net of non-controlling interest of $37 million.

Losses related to cash flow hedges reported in AOCI and expected to be reclassified to net income in the next 12 months are estimated to be $77 million ($50 million, net of tax) at June 30, 2013. These estimates assume constant commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates over time, however, the amounts reclassified will vary based on the actual value of these factors at the date of settlement.

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, portfolio investments recorded at fair value, the fair value of derivative assets and notes, and loans and advances receivable. The carrying amounts and fair values of these financial assets, except amounts for derivative assets, are included in accounts receivable and other, and available for sale assets in the Non-Derivative Financial Instruments Summary table below. The majority of counterparty credit exposure is with counterparties that are investment grade or the exposure is supported by financial assurances provided by investment grade parties. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable and records an allowance for doubtful accounts as necessary using the specific identification method. At June 30, 2013, there were no significant amounts past due or impaired, and there were no significant credit losses during the year.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had a credit risk concentration of $263 million (December 31, 2012 - $259 million) due from a counterparty. This amount is expected to be fully collectible and is secured by a guarantee from the counterparty’s parent company.

NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The Company hedges its net investment in 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.

OFFSETTING OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into derivative contracts with the right to offset in the normal course of business as well as in the event of default. TransCanada has no master netting agreements, however, similar contracts are entered into containing rights of offset. The Company has elected to present the fair value of derivative instruments with the right to offset on a gross basis in the balance sheet. The following table shows the impact on the presentation of the fair value of derivative instrument assets and liabilities had the Company elected to present these contracts on a net basis:

With respect to all financial arrangements, including the derivative instruments presented above, as at June 30, 2013, the Company had provided cash collateral of $201 million and letters of credit of $65 million to its counterparties. The Company held $1 million in cash collateral and $2 million in letters of credit on asset exposures at June 30, 2013.

The following table shows the impact on the presentation of the fair value of derivative instrument assets and liabilities had the Company elected to present these contracts on a net basis as at December 31, 2012:

SECOND QUARTER REPORT 2013

CREDIT RISK RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES

Derivative contracts entered into to manage market risk often contain financial assurance provisions that allow parties to the contracts to manage credit risk. These provisions may require collateral to be provided if a credit-risk-related contingent event occurs, such as a downgrade in the Company’s credit rating to non-investment grade.

Based on contracts in place and market prices at June 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $36 million (December 31, 2012 - $37 million), for which the Company had provided collateral in the normal course of business of nil (December 31, 2012 - nil). If the credit-risk-related contingent features in these agreements were triggered on June 30, 2013, the Company would have been required to provide collateral of $36 million (December 31, 2012 - $37 million) to its counterparties. Collateral may also need to be provided should the fair value of derivative instruments exceed pre-defined contractual exposure limit thresholds.

The Company feels it has sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and undrawn committed revolving bank lines to meet these contingent obligations should they arise.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been classified into three categories based on the fair value hierarchy.

Levels	How fair value has been determined
Level I	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level II	Valuation based on the extrapolation of inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level I, for which all significant inputs are observable directly or indirectly. Inputs include published exchange rates, interest rates, interest rate swap curves, yield curves and broker quotes from external data service providers. This category includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using the income approach and power and natural gas commodity derivatives where fair value is determined using the market approach. Transfers between Level I and Level II would occur when there is a change in market circumstances.
Level III	Valuation of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis using a market approach based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. This category includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low. Long-term electricity prices are estimated using a third-party modeling tool which takes into account physical operating characteristics of generation facilities in the markets in which we operate. Model inputs include market fundamentals such as fuel prices, power supply additions and retirements, power demand, seasonal hydro conditions and transmission constraints. Long-term North American natural gas prices are based on a view of future natural gas supply and demand, as well as exploration and development costs. Significant decreases in fuel prices or demand for electricity or natural gas, or increases in the supply of electricity or natural gas is expected to or may result in a lower fair value measurement of contracts included in Level III. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value can fluctuate between Level II and Level III depending on the proportion of the value of the contract that extends beyond the time frame for which inputs are considered to be observable. As contracts near maturity and observable market data becomes available, they are transferred out of Level III and into Level II.

10.	Acquisition

On June 28, 2013, TransCanada acquired the first of nine Ontario solar power facilities from Canadian Solar Solutions Inc. for $55 million. TransCanada measured the assets and liabilities acquired at fair value with substantially all of the purchase price allocated to Plant, Property and Equipment. The combined capacity of the nine projects is 86 MW and the cost of the portfolio will be approximately $470 million.

TRANSCANADA [59

SECOND QUARTER REPORT 2013

TransCanada anticipates the remaining eight projects will come into service and be acquired by the end of 2014. The renewable energy produced from these projects will be sold to the Ontario Power Authority under a series of 20-year PPAs.

11.	Contingencies and Guarantees

TransCanada and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Amounts received under the Bruce B floor price mechanism within a calendar year are subject to repayment if the monthly average spot price exceeds the floor price. With respect to 2013, TransCanada currently expects spot prices to be less than the floor price for the year, therefore no amounts received under the floor price mechanism in the first six months of 2013 are expected to be repaid.

GUARANTEES

TransCanada and its joint venture partners on Bruce Power, Cameco Corporation and BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust (BPC), have severally guaranteed one-third of certain contingent financial obligations of Bruce B related to power sales agreements, a lease agreement and contractor services. In addition, TransCanada and BPC have each severally guaranteed one-half of certain contingent financial obligations of Bruce A related to a sublease agreement and certain other financial obligations. The Company’s exposure under certain of these guarantees is unlimited.

In addition to the guarantees for Bruce Power, the Company and its partners in certain other jointly owned entities have either (i) jointly and severally, (ii) jointly or (iii) severally guaranteed the financial performance of these entities related primarily to redelivery of natural gas, PPA payments and the payment of liabilities. For certain of these entities, any payments made by TransCanada under these guarantees in excess of its ownership interest are to be reimbursed by its partners.

The carrying value of these guarantees has been included in other long term liabilities. Information regarding the Company’s guarantees is as follows:

at June 30, 2013 (unaudited - millions of Canadian $)	Term	Potential Exposure1	Carrying Value

Bruce Power	ranging to 20192	713	9
Other jointly owned entities	ranging to 2040	41	9
		754	18

1	TransCanada’s share of the potential estimated current or contingent exposure.

2	Except for one guarantee with no termination date that has no exposure associated with it.

12.	Subsequent Events

On July 2, 2013, TransCanada completed the sale of a 45 per cent interest in each of Gas Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN LLC) and Bison Pipeline LLC (Bison LLC) to TC PipeLines, LP for an aggregate purchase price of US$1.05 billion, which included US$146 million of long-term debt for 45 per cent of GTN LLC debt outstanding plus closing adjustments for working capital of $17 million. GTN LLC and Bison LLC own the GTN and Bison natural gas pipelines, respectively.

In July 2013, TransCanada issued US$500 million of three-year London Interbank Offered Rate-based floating rate notes maturing on June 30, 2016, bearing interest at an initial annual rate of 0.95 per cent.

Also in July 2013, TransCanada issued $450 million of ten-year and $300 million of 30-year senior notes maturing on July 19, 2023 and November 15, 2041, bearing interest rates of 3.69 and 4.55 per cent, respectively.

In July 2013, TC PipeLines, LP entered into a five-year, US$500 million term loan, maturing July 2018.

QuarterlyReport to Shareholders

TransCanada Reports Increase in Second Quarter Results,

Comparable Earnings to $357 Million or $0.51 Per Share

Funds Generated from Operations of $955 Million

Calgary, Alberta – July 26, 2013 – TransCanada Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) (TransCanada or the Company) today announced comparable earnings for second quarter 2013 of $357 million or $0.51 per share, compared to $300 million or $0.43 per share for the same period in 2012. Net income attributable to common shares for second quarter 2013 was $365 million or $0.52 per share. TransCanada’s Board of Directors also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.46 per common share for the quarter ending September 30, 2013, equivalent to $1.84 per common share on an annualized basis.

“All three of our business segments generated strong results during the second quarter,” said Russ Girling, TransCanada’s president and chief executive officer. “Higher power prices in Alberta, an increase in capacity prices in New York, the return to an eight unit site at Bruce Power and a higher Canadian Mainline allowed return on equity all contributed to a significant increase in earnings when compared to the same period last year. We were also pleased by the significant shipper interest in our Energy East Pipeline project, which would transport crude oil from western Canada to eastern Canadian markets and add to our existing $26 billion portfolio of commercially secured projects that are targeted for completion by the end of the decade.”

Over the next three years, subject to required approvals, we expect to complete $13 billion of projects that are currently in advanced stages of development. They include the Gulf Coast Project, Keystone XL, the Keystone Hardisty Terminal, the initial phase of the Grand Rapids Pipeline, the Heartland Pipeline and TC Terminals projects, the Tamazunchale Pipeline Extension, the acquisition of nine Ontario Solar projects and ongoing expansion of the NGTL System.

We have also commercially secured an additional $13 billion of long-life, contracted energy infrastructure projects that are expected to be placed into service in 2016 and beyond. They include the Coastal GasLink and Prince Rupert Gas Transmission projects that would move natural gas to Canada’s West Coast for liquefaction and shipment to Asian markets, the Topolobampo and Mazatlan Gas Pipeline projects in Mexico, completion of the Grand Rapids and Northern Courier oil pipeline projects in Northern Alberta, and the Napanee Generating Station in Eastern Ontario. TransCanada expects these projects to generate predictable, sustained earnings and cash flow.

Notable recent developments in Oil Pipelines, Natural Gas Pipelines, Energy and Corporate include:

Oil Pipelines:

Gulf Coast Project: We are constructing a 36-inch pipeline from Cushing, Oklahoma to the U.S. Gulf Coast and expect to begin delivering crude oil to Port Arthur, Texas at the end of 2013. Construction is approximately 85 per cent complete and we estimate the cost of the Cushing to Port Arthur facilities to be US$2.3 billion.

Construction of the 76 kilometre (km) (47 mile) Houston Lateral pipeline to transport crude oil to Houston refineries is expected to be complete in 2014 at a cost of US$300 million.

The Gulf Coast Project will have a capacity of up to 700,000 barrels per day (bbl/d).

Keystone XL: On March 1, 2013, the DOS released its Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Keystone XL Pipeline. The impact statement reaffirmed that construction of the proposed pipeline from the U.S./Canada border in Montana to Steele City, Nebraska would not result in any significant impact to the environment. The DOS continues to review submissions on the impact statement that it received during a public comment period that ended on April 22, 2013. Once the DOS has completed its review, it is anticipated it will issue a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and then consult with other government agencies and provide an additional opportunity for the public to comment during a National Interest Determination period of up to 90 days, before making a decision on our Presidential Permit application.

We anticipate the pipeline to be in service approximately two years following the receipt of the Presidential Permit. The US$5.3 billion cost estimate will increase depending on the timing of the permit. As of June 30, 2013, we had invested US$1.9 billion in the project.

·	Energy East Pipeline: On June 17, 2013, we concluded an open season to obtain firm commitments for a pipeline to transport up to 850,000 bbl/d of crude oil from western receipt points to eastern Canadian markets and are currently reviewing the results.

·	Heartland Pipeline and TC Terminals: On May 2, 2013, we announced we had secured binding long-term shipping agreements to build, own and operate the proposed Heartland Pipeline and TC Terminals projects.

The proposed projects will include a 200 km (125 mile) crude oil pipeline connecting the Edmonton region to facilities in Hardisty, Alberta, and a terminal facility in the Heartland industrial area north of Edmonton. We anticipate the pipeline could transport up to 900,000 bbl/d, while the terminal is expected to have storage capacity for up to 1.9 million barrels of crude oil. These projects together have a combined cost estimated at $900 million and are expected to come into service during the second half of 2015.

On May 30, 2013, we filed a permit application for the terminal facility with the Alberta Energy Regulator and we expect to file an application for the pipeline later in 2013.

Northern Courier Pipeline: On April 25, 2013, we filed a permit application with the Alberta Energy Regulator after completing the required Aboriginal and stakeholder engagement and associated field work. We continue to work with the Fort Hills Energy Limited Partnership on the development of this project.

Grand Rapids Pipeline: On May 23, 2013, we filed a permit application with the Alberta Energy Regulator after completing the required Aboriginal and stakeholder engagement and associated field work. The Grand Rapids Pipeline system will be the first pipeline to connect the growing oil sands region west of the Athabasca River to the Edmonton/Heartland region and will be capable of moving up to 900,000 bbl/d of crude oil and 330,000 bbl/d of diluent.

Natural Gas Pipelines:

National Energy Board (NEB) decision on the Canadian Restructuring Proposal: On March 27, 2013, the NEB issued its decision on our application to change the business structure and the terms and conditions of service for the Canadian Mainline. The decision significantly alters the regulatory framework that has formed the basis for more than $10 billion of regulated pipeline investment over the last sixty years.

On May 1, 2013, we filed an application for a review and variance of the decision and order. The NEB dismissed the review and variance application on June 11, 2013, and released its reasons for dismissal on July 22, 2013. The NEB did, however, recognize that certain changes proposed by TransCanada to the Canadian Mainline’s tariff should be considered as a separate application through an oral hearing process that will commence on September 3, 2013.

We are effectively operating under the new framework set out by the NEB in its decision as of July 1. We have submitted the tariff change application and will manage that process through the oral hearing and await a decision on those changes.

NGTL System: We continue to expand the NGTL System and have placed $700 million of new facilities into service in 2013. We have applied and received approval from the NEB for an additional $130 million of new facilities. To date in 2013, we have applied for an additional $145 million of facilities, which remain subject to NEB approval, and are planning regulatory applications for further expansion into British Columbia (B.C.), which we estimate will cost between $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion, to connect and transport new gas supply that will be delivered to the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project as well as other markets served by the NGTL System. In third quarter 2013, we expect to begin an open season to provide delivery service through a transportation by others arrangement on Coastal GasLink to Vanderhoof, B.C.

Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project: The B.C. Environmental Assessment Office issued its Section 10 Order in June 2013 indicating that the project is reviewable and requires an environmental assessment certificate. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) initiated the public comment period with respect to the project in June 2013.

·	Coastal GasLink: We are currently focused on community, landowner, government and First Nations engagement as the project advances through the regulatory process with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and the CEAA.

Energy:

Bruce Power: Bruce Power returned Unit 4 to service on April 13, 2013 after completing an expanded life extension outage program which began in August 2012. It is anticipated that this investment will allow Unit 4 to operate until at least 2021. With the return of Unit 4 and the restart of Units 1 and 2, Bruce Power is now operating an eight unit site for the first time in two decades and is capable of generating 6,200 megawatts (MW) of emission-free electricity. No further maintenance outages are planned at Bruce Power for the remainder of 2013.

Sundance A: TransAlta previously announced that it expected Sundance A Units 1 and 2 to be returned to service in the fall of 2013. They subsequently reported an earlier return to service for Unit 1 of July 31, 2013. TransAlta has not announced any change in the return to service date for Unit 2. Combined, Units 1 and 2 are capable of generating 560 MW.

Ontario Solar: In late 2011, we agreed to buy nine Ontario solar projects (combined capacity of 86 MW) from Canadian Solar Solutions Inc. for approximately $470 million. On June 28, 2013, we acquired the first project for $55 million which has a capacity of 10 MW. We expect to close the acquisition of the remaining projects in 2013 and 2014, subject to satisfactory completion of the related construction activities and regulatory approvals. All power produced will be sold under 20-year power purchase arrangements with the Ontario Power Authority.

Bécancour: In June 2013, Hydro-Québec notified us that it would exercise its option to extend the agreement to suspend all electricity generation from the Bécancour power plant through 2014. Under the suspension agreement, Hydro-Québec has the option, subject to certain conditions, to extend the suspension every year until regional electricity demand levels recover. We continue to receive capacity payments while generation is suspended.

Corporate:

·	Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.46 per share for the quarter ending September 30, 2013 on TransCanada’s outstanding common shares. The quarterly amount is equivalent to $1.84 per common share on an annual basis.

On July 2, 2013, we completed the sale of a 45 per cent interest in each of Gas Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN) and Bison Pipeline LLC (Bison) to our master limited partnership, TC PipeLines, LP, for an aggregate purchase price of US$1.05 billion which includes US$146 million for 45 per cent of GTN's debt. The proceeds from the sale will contribute to funding a portion of our capital program. The transaction demonstrates one of the many financing options available to us as we execute on our unprecedented growth portfolio.

In May 2013, TC PipeLines, LP completed a public offering of 8,855,000 common units at a price of US$43.85 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately US$388 million. We invested US$8 million to maintain our two per cent general partnership interest and did not purchase any additional common units. Upon completion of this offering, our ownership interest in TC PipeLines, LP decreased from 33.3 per cent to 28.9 per cent.

In July 2013, TC PipeLines, LP entered into a five-year, US$500 million term loan, maturing July 2018. The proceeds from the term loan were used to partially finance the acquisition of the 45 per cent interest in GTN and Bison.

·	In July 2013, we issued US$500 million of three-year LIBOR-based floating rate notes maturing on June 30, 2016, bearing interest at an initial annual rate of 0.95 per cent.

Also in July 2013, we issued $450 million and $300 million of medium term notes maturing on July 19, 2023 and November 15, 2041, respectively, and bearing interest at 3.69 and 4.55 per cent per annum, respectively.

The net proceeds of these offerings are intended to be used for general corporate purposes and to reduce short-term indebtedness which was used to fund a portion of our capital program.
