Notes receivable are included in Assets held for sale on the Consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 and in Other current assets and Intangible and other assets on the Consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015. The fair value is calculated based on the original contract terms.
2
Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost, except for US$850 million (2015 – US$850 million) that is attributed to hedged risk and recorded at fair value.
3
Consolidated net income in 2016 included unrealized gains of $2 million (2015 – gains of $2 million) for fair value adjustments attributable to the hedged interest rate risk associated with interest rate swap fair value hedging relationships on US$850 million of Long-term debt at December 31, 2016 (2015 – US$850 million). There were no other unrealized gains or losses from fair value adjustments to the non-derivative financial instruments.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of LMCI restricted investments impact the subsequent amounts to be collected through tolls to cover future pipeline abandonment costs. As a result, the Company records these gains and losses as regulatory assets or liabilities.
3
Other restricted investments have been set aside to fund insurance claim losses to be paid by the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. Unrealized gains and losses on other restricted investments are included in OCI.

Schedule of Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
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 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 are measured using a market approach based on extrapolation of inputs that are unobservable or where observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivative's fair value. This category mainly includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low and the Company uses the most observable inputs available or, if not available, long-term broker quotes to estimate the fair value for these transactions. Valuation of options is based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.
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 significant 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.
The fair value of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, including both current and non-current portions for 2016, are categorized as follows:

Quoted Prices in Active Markets
