The Company elects to record the gross assets and liabilities of its derivative
financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s
derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements
that allow for the offset of assets and liabilities in the event of default or early
termination of the contract. Any amounts of cash collateral received related to
these instruments associated with the Company’s credit-related contingent
features are recorded in Cash and equivalents and Accrued liabilities, the
latter of which would further offset against the Company’s derivative asset
balance (refer to Note 17 — Risk Management and Derivatives). Cash
collateral received related to the Company’s credit related contingent features
is presented in the Cash provided by operations component of the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Any amounts of non-cash collateral
received, such as securities, are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets pursuant to the accounting standards for non-cash collateral received.
