These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of Sabal Trail.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Nature of Operations. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Sabal Trail, owns an interstate natural gas pipeline system and is owned 50% by Spectra Energy Partners, LP (SEP), 42.5% by US Southeastern Gas Infrastructure, LLC (NextEra), and 7.5% by Duke Energy Corporation (Duke). SEP is an indirect subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. (Enbridge). We are engaged in the interstate transmission of natural gas. Our interstate natural gas transmission operations are subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Basis of Presentation. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">The financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the accounting requirements of the FERC, as set forth in the applicable Uniform System of Accounts (USOA) and published accounting releases which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Our accounting policies generally conform to the FERC USOA. The most significant differences between U.S. GAAP and the financial statements presented herein are: (1) Classification of certain accounts on the Comparative Balance Sheet, Statement of Income and the Statement of Cash Flows and (2) Accounting for income taxes on a regulatory basis using the stand-alone method of income tax allocation.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Use of Estimates. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements. Although these estimates are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results could differ.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Fair Value Measurements. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> We measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments or because stated rates approximate market rates.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Cost-Based Regulation.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> We account for our regulated operations under the provisions of the FERC USOA. The economic effects of regulation can result in a regulated company recording assets for costs that have been or are expected to be approved for recovery from customers or recording liabilities for amounts that are expected to be returned to customers in the rate-setting process in a period different from the period in which the amounts would be recorded by an unregulated enterprise. Accordingly, we record assets and liabilities that result from the regulated ratemaking process that may not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities. We continually assess whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as applicable regulatory changes and recent rate orders to other regulated entities. Based on this assessment, we believe our existing regulatory assets are probable of recovery. These regulatory assets and liabilities are classified on the Comparative Balance Sheet as Deferred Debits and Deferred Credits.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Revenue Recognition.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> Revenues from the transportation of natural gas are recognized when the services have been performed, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues related to these services provided, but not yet billed, are estimated each month. These estimates are generally based on contract data, regulatory information, and preliminary throughput and allocation measurements. Final bills for the current month are billed and collected in the following month. Differences between actual and estimated revenues are immaterial. See footnote 2 for further discussion.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Accumulated Provision for Uncollectible Accounts – Credit.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> Accounts receivable are measured at cost. Allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on collection history. When we have determined that further collection efforts are unlikely to be successful, amounts charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts are applied against the impaired accounts receivable.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC). </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> AFUDC, which represents the estimated debt and equity costs of capital funds necessary to finance the construction of certain new regulated facilities, consists of two components, an equity component and an interest expense component. The equity component is a non-cash item. After construction is completed, we are permitted to recover these costs through inclusion in the rate base and in the depreciation provision. AFUDC is capitalized as a component of Utility Plant cost, with offsetting credits to the Statement of Income through Other Income and Deductions for the equity component and Interest Charges for the interest expense component. The total amount of AFUDC included in the Statements of Income was zero in 2021 and $3.5 million in 2020 (an equity component of $2.4 million and an interest expense component of $1.1 million).</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Income Taxes</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">. Income taxes have been historically recorded in accordance with the FERC Policy Statement on Income Tax Allowances issued in 1995 in Docket No. PL05-5, which permitted the accrual of income taxes on a pass-through entity. Income taxes are continuing to be recorded in this manner in light of the purchase by Spectra Energy Corp, a corporate subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., in December 2018, of all of the outstanding publicly-traded units of SEP, our immediate partner. SABAL is now wholly owned by two U.S. corporations that are subject to U.S. income tax. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or results from the final review of tax returns by federal or state tax authorities.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">On March 15, 2018, in Docket No. PL17-1-000, the FERC changed its long-standing policy on the treatment of income tax included in the rates of pipelines and other entities subject to cost of service rate regulation within a Master Limited Partnership (MLP). In its order, the FERC revised its policy in Docket No. PL05-5, and stated that its policy was to no longer permit entities organized as an MLP to recover an income tax allowance in their cost of service rates on the basis that investor-level income tax costs are reflected in an MLP pipeline’s cost of service through the return on equity rate base.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">On July 18, 2018, the FERC issued an Order in Docket No. PL17-1-001, that: (1) dismissed all requests for rehearing of its March 15, 2018 revised policy statement on the treatment of income tax costs and explained that its revised policy statement does not establish a binding rule, but is instead an expression of general policy that the Commission intends to follow in the future; and (2) provides guidance that because an MLP pipeline’s cost of service no longer includes income tax costs in the form of an income tax allowance pursuant to FERC’s Revised Policy Statement, then the MLP pipeline may remove Accumulated Deferred Income Tax (ADIT) balances from its Part 201 (18 C.F.R. Part 201) books and any related regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">On September 10, 2018 in accordance with FERC accounting regulations, 18 C.F.R. Part 201, and FERC’s July 18, 2018 Order in Docket No. PL17-1-001, SABAL, requested approval from the FERC Chief Accountant of accounting entries eliminating deferred tax balances and excess deferred tax balances. This request is pending in Docket No. AC18-229-000. We will make all necessary adjustments to account balances based upon the outcome in Docket No. AC18-229-000</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Cash and Cash Equivalents.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Plant Materials, and Operating Supplies. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Other materials and supplies are recorded using average cost.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Natural Gas Imbalances. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">The Comparative Balance Sheet includes in-kind balances as a result of differences in gas volumes received and delivered for customers. Since settlement of certain imbalances is in-kind, changes in their balances do not have an effect on our Statement of Cash Flows. Miscellaneous Current and Accrued Assets include nil of gas imbalances as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and Miscellaneous Current and Accrued Liabilities include nil of gas imbalances as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Natural gas volumes owed to or by us are valued at natural gas market index prices as of the balance sheet dates.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Utility Plant. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> Utility Plant is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize all construction-related direct labor and material costs, as well as indirect construction costs. Indirect costs include general engineering, taxes and the cost of funds used during construction. The costs of renewals and betterments that extend the useful life or increase the expected output of Utility Plant is also capitalized. The costs of repairs, replacements and major maintenance projects, that do not extend the useful life or increase the expected output of Utility Plant, is expensed as incurred. Depreciation is generally computed over the asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The composite weighted-average depreciation rate was 1.66% for 2021 and 1.68% 2020. See also “Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC)” discussed above.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">When we retire regulated Utility Plant, we charge the original cost plus the cost of retirement, less salvage value, to accumulated depreciation and amortization. When we sell entire regulated operating units, or retire or sell non-regulated properties, the cost is removed from the property account and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts are reduced. Any gain or loss is recorded as income, unless otherwise required by the FERC.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Preliminary Project Costs.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> Project development costs, including expenditures for preliminary surveys, plans, investigations, environmental studies, regulatory applications and other costs incurred for the purpose of determining the feasibility of capital expansion projects, are capitalized for U.S. rate-regulated enterprises when it is determined that recovery of such costs through regulated revenues of the completed project is probable.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Long-Lived Asset Impairments.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> We evaluate whether long-lived assets have been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. For such long-lived assets, an impairment exists when its carrying value exceeds the sum of estimates of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. When alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration, a probability- weighted approach is used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable based on these estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, such that the asset’s carrying value is adjusted to its estimated fair value.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">We assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques and may use more than one source. Sources to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales, internally developed discounted cash flow analyses and analyses from outside advisors. Significant changes in market conditions resulting from events such as changes in natural gas available to our system, the condition of an asset, a change in our intent to utilize the asset or a significant change in contracted revenues or regulatory recoveries would generally require us to reassess the cash flows related to the long- lived assets.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs). </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> We recognize AROs for legal commitments associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the asset and conditional AROs in which the timing or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. We have determined that substantially all of our assets have indeterminate lives, and as such, the fair values of those associated retirement obligations are not reasonably estimable. We have no amounts recorded for AROs at December 31, 2021 or 2020.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Unamortized Debt Premium, Discount and Expense.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> Premiums, discounts and expenses incurred with the issuance of outstanding long-term debt are amortized over the terms of the debt issuances. Any call premiums or unamortized expenses associated with refinancing higher-cost debt obligations to finance regulated assets and operations are amortized consistent with regulatory treatment of those items, where appropriate.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Environmental Expenditures. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">We expense environmental expenditures related to conditions caused by past operations that do not generate current or future revenues. Environmental expenditures related to operations that generate current or future revenues are expensed or capitalized, as appropriate. Undiscounted liabilities are recorded when the necessity for environmental remediation becomes probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated, or when other potential environmental liabilities are reasonably estimable and probable.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Accounting for Contract Assets and Liabilities from Contracts with Customers in a Business Combination.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Effective November 1, 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08 on a retrospective basis beginning January 1, 2021. The new standard was issued in October 2021 to amend business combination accounting specific to contract assets and contract liabilities resulting from contracts with customers, requiring measurement in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606. The ASU is also applicable to contract assets and contract liabilities from other contracts to which ASC 606 applies, such as contract liabilities from the sale of nonfinancial assets within the scope of ASC 610-20. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Accounting for Income Taxes. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in December 2019 with the intent of simplifying the accounting for income taxes. The accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 Income Taxes as well as provides simplification by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Disclosures about Government Assistance.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">ASU 2021-10 was issued in November 2021 to increase the transparency of government assistance to business entities. The ASU adds new disclosure requirements for transactions with a government that are accounted for using a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The required disclosures include information about the nature of transactions, accounting policy applied, impacted financial statement line items and significant terms and conditions. ASU 2021-10 is effective January 1, 2022 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2021-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">2.

In the Order, FERC authorized Cimarron River Pipeline, LLC (“Cimarron”) to abandon the Tekas Pipeline System by sale to Ladder Creek LLC (“Ladder Creek”). On February 6, 2021, Ladder Creek acquired and began operating the Tekas Pipeline System, and on February 8, 2021, Ladder Creek submitted notice to the Commission of the transaction. As a result, in fiscal year 2021, Cimarron recorded the estimated retirement of approximately 15.6 million of Gas plant in service, 11.4 million of Accumulated provisions for depreciation, and 4.2 million of salvage value in Gas plant sold, as approved by FERC. Cimarron expects to record an additional retirement of the remaining actual Gas plant in service, Accumulated provisions for depreciation, and salvage value not yet retired, subject to approval by FERC.</span></div>

As an owner and operator of these facilities, we must comply with laws and regulations at the federal, state, and, in some cases, local levels that relate to worker safety, pipeline safety, air and water quality, solid and hazardous waste management and disposal, and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing, and operating such facilities incorporates compliance with environmental laws and regulations, worker safety standards, and safety standards applicable to such facilities. In addition, there is increasing focus, from (i) regulatory bodies, communities and through litigation, on hydraulic fracturing and the real or perceived environmental or public health impacts of this technique, which indirectly presents some risk to our available supply of natural gas, (ii) regulatory bodies regarding pipeline system safety, which could impose additional regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations, (iii) state and federal regulatory bodies regarding the emission of greenhouse gases, which could impose additional regulatory burdens and increase the costs of our operations, and (iv) regulatory bodies and communities that could delay or prevent the development of infrastructure used in our business. Failure to comply with these various health, safety and environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation.

Revenue is recognized over time consistent with the transfer of services over time to the customer based on daily volumes delivered. Consideration is generally variable, and the transaction price cannot be determined at the inception of the contract, because the volume of natural gas for which the service is provided is only specified on a daily or monthly basis.

The straight-fixed-variable rate design used by Overthrust allows for recovery of substantially all fixed costs in the demand or reservation charge and reduces the earnings impact of volume changes on gas-transportation operations. Overthrust may collect revenues subject to possible refunds and establish reserves pending final orders from regulatory agencies. Customer receivables at December 31, 2021 and 2020 included $5.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its customers.

Substantially all of Overthrust’s revenues are derived from performance obligations satisfied over time, rather than recognized at a single point in time. The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service purchased.

The 2017 Tax Reform Act included provisions that stipulate how plant-related, or “protected”, excess deferred taxes may be amortized. The FERC has also provided guidance on the amortization of non-plant-related, or “unprotected” excess of deferred taxes. Overthrust is using the average rate assumption method (“ARAM”) to calculate the amortization of its excess accumulated deferred income taxes associated with plant-related temporary differences. Under the ARAM, the excess accumulated deferred income taxes will reverse at the weighted average rate at which the deferred taxes were built over the remaining book life of the property to which those deferred taxes relate. These reversal periods range from one to 28 years. For non-plant-related excess or deficient accumulated deferred income taxes, the balances will reverse when the underlying book or tax item to which those deferred taxes relate has been realized or settled. All unprotected differences reversed in prior years.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span

tax purposes. As a result, Southwest Gas obtained a step-up in the bases of the assets acquired for income tax purposes, without succeeding to the holding period, accounting methods, or historical income tax liabilities associated with Overthrust. Accordingly, the deferred income taxes were redetermined on the date of acquisition, December 31, 2021, resulting in an adjustment to equity of $67.4 million. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on a preliminary purchase price. Overthrust intends adjust its accumulated deferred income balances to reflect the transaction once the purchase price is finalized.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Overthrust files U.S. federal and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations.

Prior to its change in parent, Overthrust reported an estimate of ARO liabilities associated with the interim replacement of pipeline components on its consolidated balance sheets, based on projected cash flows, including projected usage and maintenance of its assets. In connection with the acquisition of Overthrust by Southwest Gas, new management assessed the information available to develop an estimate. Factors assessed included indeterminant interim removal dates based on maintenance of the entity’s assets, management’s expected use of the assets in place, and expectations around renewal of easements and rights of way. On the basis of this evaluation, new management concluded that it did not possess information of sufficient precision to reasonably estimate the ARO liability. New management’s assessment is viewed as a change in estimate.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span

(EOGT). EOGT is an affiliate of Enbridge U.S. Inc., (EUS). Mississippi Canyon is engaged in the transmission of natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico of the United States of America (U.S.). Mississippi Canyon's principal assets consist of the Mississippi Canyon Gas Pipeline System, a 30-inch diameter offshore pipeline 45 miles from the West Delta Block 143 platform offshore Louisiana. Mississippi Canyon, which is subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), commenced operations effective on July 1, 1996.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:118%">Basis of Presentation. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">The financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the accounting requirements of the FERC, as set forth in the applicable Uniform System of Accounts (USOA) and published accounting releases, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Our accounting policies generally conform to the FERC USOA. The most significant differences between U.S. GAAP and the financial statements presented herein are: (1) classification of certain accounts on the Comparative Balance Sheet, Statement of Income and the Statement of Cash Flows and (2) accounting for income taxes on a regulatory basis using the stand-alone method of income tax allocation.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:118%">Use of Estimates. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes to financial statements.

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments or because stated rates approximate market rates.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Cost-Based Regulation. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Mississippi Canyon accounts for its regulated operations under the provisions of the USOA. The economic effects of regulation can result in a regulated company recording assets for costs that have been or are expected to be approved for recovery from customers or recording liabilities for amounts that are expected to be returned to customers in the rate-setting process in a period different from the period in which the amounts would be recorded by an unregulated enterprise. Accordingly, assets and liabilities recorded as a result of the regulated ratemaking process may not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities. Mississippi Canyon continually assesses whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as applicable regulatory changes and recent rate orders to other regulated entities. Based on this assessment, Mississippi Canyon believes existing regulatory assets are probable of recovery. These regulatory assets and liabilities are classified in the Comparative Balance Sheet as “Deferred Debits” and “Deferred Credits.”</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">Revenue Recognition. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Revenues from the transportation of natural gas are recognized when the service is provided. Revenues related to these services provided but not yet billed are estimated each month. These estimates are generally based on contract data, regulatory information, and preliminary throughput and allocation measurements. Final bills for the current month are billed and collected in the following month. Mississippi Canyon does not own the natural gas that it transports and, therefore, it does not assume significant direct commodity price risk. See Note 3 for further discussion.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:118%">Income Taxes. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">Mississippi Canyon, as a limited liability company, is not subject to federal taxation. Instead, the tax obligation incurred through operations of Mississippi Canyon is reported on the tax returns of the member companies. However, in accordance with FERC accounting and rate requirements, the accompanying financial statements include entries to reflect income taxes as if Mississippi Canyon was a corporation. Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the relevant basis of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. The impact of changes in tax legislation on deferred income tax liabilities and assets is recorded in the period of enactment. The current tax liability or asset recognized each year in accordance with FERC requirements will be relieved through the “Retained Earnings” account in proprietary capital in the period incurred.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:118%">Cash and Cash Equivalents. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">Cash and cash equivalents are defined as all highly marketable securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these investments. Cash is held in major banks in the U.S., which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits in the U.S.. Management periodically assesses the financial condition of the financial institution and believes that any possible credit loss is minimal.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">Mississippi Canyon has a cash management agreement with EUS. Any excess cash is converted into an associated company affiliate receivable on a monthly basis. EUS’ treasury function handles all routine cash management functions on behalf of Mississippi Canyon.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">Restricted Cash. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted, in accordance with specific customer agreements, as to withdrawal or usage are presented on the Comparative Balance Sheet.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">Receivables and Current Expected Credit Losses.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%"> Accounts receivables are measured at cost. Accumulated Provision for Uncollectible Accounts - Credit (account 144) is determined based on current expected credit losses. When we have determined that further collection efforts are unlikely to be successful, amounts are charged to this account and are applied against the impaired Customer Accounts Receivable (account 142).</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:118%">Natural Gas Imbalances. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">In the course of providing transportation services to customers, Mississippi Canyon may receive different quantities of gas from shippers than the quantities delivered on behalf of those shippers. These transactions result in imbalances, which are settled in cash on a monthly basis. In addition, certain imbalances may occur with interconnecting facilities when Mississippi Canyon delivers more or less than what is nominated (scheduled). The settlement of these imbalances is governed by Operational Balancing Agreements (OBAs). Certain OBAs stipulate that settlement will occur through delivery of physical quantities in subsequent months. Mississippi Canyon records the net of all imbalances as Gas Operating Revenues and carries the net position for each counter-party as a payable or receivable, as appropriate, and settled.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">Utility Plant. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Utility Plant is stated at the original cost of construction or, upon acquisition, at the fair value of the assets acquired. Expenditures for system expansion and major renewals and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Mississippi Canyon follows the practice of capitalizing, at rates authorized by the FERC or stipulated in ratemaking agreements, an allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) for the cost of debt and an equity return component. Depreciation of utility plant is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of the assets. Depreciation is recorded using the group method of depreciation which is commonly used by pipelines, utilities and similar entities. When property, plant, and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost, less net proceeds, is normally charged to accumulated depreciation (use Accumulated Provision for Depreciation, Amortization and Depletion) and no gain or loss on disposal is recognized in Deferred Gains/Losses from Disposition of Utility Plant.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">Included in utility plant are specified amounts of natural gas that must be maintained by Mississippi Canyon to operate its natural gas pipelines. The natural gas that must be maintained in order for the pipeline to properly operate is commonly referred to as linepack. As is customary with most natural gas transportation entities, Mississippi Canyon owns the natural gas maintained as linepack in its pipelines. The cost of natural gas that is owned by Mississippi Canyon and used for linepack has been capitalized and is not depreciated.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">Regulatory guidance issued by the FERC requires Mississippi Canyon to expense certain costs associated with implementing the pipeline integrity management requirements of the United States Department of Transportation’s Office of Pipeline Safety. Under this guidance, costs to (1) prepare a plan to implement the program; (2) identify high consequence areas; (3) develop and maintain a record keeping system; and (4) inspect, test and report on the condition of affected pipeline segments to determine the need for repairs or replacements, are required to be expensed. Costs of modifying pipelines to permit in-line inspections, certain costs associated with developing or enhancing computer software and costs associated with remedial mitigation actions to correct an identified condition continue to be capitalized. Mississippi Canyon capitalizes certain costs such as sleeving or recoating existing pipelines, unless the expenditures are incurred as a single event and not part of a major program, in which case Mississippi Canyon expenses these costs as incurred.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:118%">Long-Lived Asset Impairment. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">Mississippi Canyon evaluates whether long-lived assets have been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. For such long-lived assets, an impairment exists when its carrying value exceeds the sum of estimates of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. When alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration, a probability-weighted approach is used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable based on these estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, such that the asset’s carrying value is adjusted to its estimated fair value.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">We assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques and may use more than one source. Sources to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales, internally developed discounted cash flow analyses and analyses from outside advisors. Significant changes in market conditions resulting from events such as changes in natural gas available to our system, the condition of an asset, a change in our intent to utilize the asset or a significant change in contracted revenues or regulatory recoveries would generally require us to reassess the cash flows related to the long-lived assets.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:118%">Asset Retirement Obligations. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">The FERC requires the recording of liabilities equal to the fair value of asset retirement obligations (AROs) and corresponding additional asset costs.

The financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the accounting requirements of the FERC, as set forth in the applicable Uniform System of Accounts (USOA) and published accounting releases, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Our accounting policies generally conform to the FERC USOA. The most significant differences between U.S. GAAP and the financial statements presented herein are: (1) classification of certain accounts on the Comparative Balance Sheet, Statement of Income and the Statement of Cash Flows and (2) accounting for income taxes on a regulatory basis using the stand-alone method of income tax allocation.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Use of Estimates</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes to financial statements. Although these estimates are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results could differ.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%"> </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Fair Value Measurements. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Nautilus measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments or because stated rates approximate market rates.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Cost-Based Regulation. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> Nautilus accounts for its regulated operations under the provisions of the USOA. The economic effects of regulation can result in a regulated company recording assets for costs that have been or are expected to be approved for recovery from customers or recording liabilities for amounts that are expected to be returned to customers in the rate-setting process in a period different from the period in which the amounts would be recorded by an unregulated enterprise. Accordingly, assets and liabilities recorded as a result of the regulated ratemaking process may not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities. Nautilus continually assesses whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as applicable regulatory changes and recent rate orders to other regulated entities. Based on this assessment, Nautilus believes existing regulatory assets are probable of recovery. These regulatory assets and liabilities are classified in the Comparative Balance Sheet as “Deferred Debits” and “Deferred Credits.” </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Revenue Recognition. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Revenues from the transportation of natural gas are recognized when the service has been performed, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues related to these services provided but not yet billed are estimated each month. These estimates are generally based on contract data, regulatory information, and preliminary throughput and allocation measurements. Final bills for the current month are billed and collected in the following month. Nautilus does not own the natural gas that it transports and, therefore, it does not assume significant direct commodity price risk. See Note 3 for further discussion.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%"> </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Accumulated Provision for Uncollectible Accounts - Credit.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> Accounts receivable are measured at cost. Accumulated Provision for Uncollectible Accounts - Credit (account 144) is determined based on current expected credit losses. When we have determined that further collection efforts are unlikely to be successful, amounts are charged to this account and are applied against the impaired Customer Accounts Receivable (account 142).</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC). </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">AFUDC, which represents the estimated debt and equity costs of capital funds necessary to finance the construction of certain new regulated facilities, consists of two components, an equity component and an interest expense component. The equity component is a non-cash item. After construction is completed, we are permitted to recover these costs through inclusion in the rate base and in the depreciation provision.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Income Taxes. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Nautilus, as a limited liability company, is not subject to federal taxation. Instead, the tax obligation incurred through operations of Nautilus is reported on the tax returns of the member companies. However, in accordance with FERC accounting and rate requirements, the accompanying financial statements include entries to reflect income taxes as if Nautilus was a corporation. Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the relevant basis of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these investments. Cash is held in major banks in the U.S., which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits in the U.S. Management periodically assesses the financial condition of the financial institution and believes that any possible credit loss is minimal.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Nautilus has entered in a cash management agreement with Neptune, whereas all cash is held in bank accounts of Neptune. On a monthly basis, any excess cash received by Nautilus is treated as a distribution to Neptune. Conversely, any deficient cash flow by Nautilus is treated as a contribution from Neptune. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Restricted Cash. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted, in accordance with specific customer agreements, as to withdrawal or usage are presented on the Comparative Balance Sheet.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Natural Gas Imbalances. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">In the course of providing transportation services to customers, Nautilus may receive different quantities of gas from shippers than the quantities delivered on behalf of those shippers. These transactions result in imbalances, which are settled in cash on a monthly basis. In addition, certain imbalances may occur with interconnecting facilities when Nautilus delivers more or less than what is nominated (scheduled). The settlement of these imbalances is governed by Operational Balancing Agreements (OBAs). Certain OBAs stipulate that settlement will occur through delivery of physical quantities in subsequent months. Nautilus records the net of all imbalances as Gas Operating Revenues and carries the net position for each counterparty as a payable or receivable, as appropriate, and settled.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Utility Plant. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Utility Plant is stated at the original cost of construction or, upon acquisition, at the fair value of the assets acquired. Expenditures for system expansion and major renewals and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Nautilus follows the practice of capitalizing, at rates authorized by the FERC or stipulated in ratemaking agreements, an allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) for the cost of debt and an equity return component. Depreciation of utility plant is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of the assets of twenty years. Depreciation is recorded using the group method of depreciation which is commonly used by pipelines, utilities and similar entities. When utility plant is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost, less net proceeds, is normally charged to “Accumulated Provision for Depreciation, Amortization and Depletion” and no gain or loss on disposal is recognized in “Gain/Loss on Disposition of Utility Plant.”</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Included in utility plant are specified amounts of natural gas that must be maintained by Nautilus to operate its natural gas pipelines. The natural gas that must be maintained in order for the pipeline to properly operate is commonly referred to as Linepack. As is customary with most natural gas transportation entities, Nautilus owns the natural gas maintained as Linepack in its pipelines. The cost of natural gas that is owned by Nautilus and used for Linepack has been capitalized and is not depreciated.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Regulatory guidance issued by the FERC requires Nautilus to expense certain costs associated with implementing the pipeline integrity management requirements of the United States Department of Transportation’s Office of Pipeline Safety. Under this guidance, costs to (1) prepare a plan to implement the program; (2) identify high consequence areas; (3) develop and maintain a record keeping system; and (4) inspect, test and report on the condition of affected pipeline segments to determine the need for repairs or replacements, are required to be expensed. Costs of modifying pipelines to permit in-line inspections, certain costs associated with developing or enhancing computer software and costs associated with remedial mitigation actions to correct an identified condition continue to be capitalized. Nautilus capitalizes certain costs such as sleeving or recoating existing pipelines, unless the expenditures are incurred as a single event and not part of a major program, in which case Nautilus expenses these costs as incurred.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Preliminary Project Costs</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">. Project development costs, including expenditures for preliminary surveys, plans, investigations, environmental studies, regulatory applications and other costs incurred for the purpose of determining the feasibility of capital expansion projects, are capitalized for rate-regulated enterprises when it is determined that recovery of such costs through regulated revenues of the completed project is probable. </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Long-Lived Asset Impairment. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Nautilus evaluates whether long-lived assets have been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. For such long-lived assets, an impairment exists when its carrying value exceeds the sum of estimates of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. When alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration, a probability-weighted approach is used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable based on these estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, such that the asset’s carrying value is adjusted to its estimated fair value. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">We assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques and may use more than one source. Sources to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales, internally developed discounted cash flow analyses and analyses from outside advisors. Significant changes in market conditions resulting from events such as changes in natural gas available to our system, the condition of an asset, a change in our intent to utilize the asset or a significant change in contracted revenues or regulatory recoveries would generally require us to reassess the cash flows related to the long-lived assets. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs). </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">FERC requires the recording of liabilities equal to the fair value of AROs and corresponding additional asset costs. The obligations included are those for which there is a legal obligation as a result of existing or enacted law, statute or contract. Over time, the liability would be accreted to its present value, and the capitalized cost would be depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity would either settle the obligation for its recorded amount or recognize a gain or loss.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Nautilus' assets are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and the Bureau of Safety and Environment Enforcement (BSEE). The BSEE requires the ultimate abandonment of offshore facilities when they are no longer in use or when suspension for future utilization cannot be justified. No AROs have been recorded based on insufficient information to reasonably determine the timing and /or method of settlement for estimating the fair value of the ARO.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Commitments and Contingencies. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Liabilities for commitments and contingencies are recognized when, after fully analyzing available information, Nautilus determines it is either probable that an asset has been impaired, or that a liability has been incurred, and the amount of impairment or loss can be reasonably estimated. When a range of probable loss can be estimated, Nautilus recognizes the most likely amount, or if no amount is more likely than another, the minimum of the range of probable loss is accrued. Nautilus expenses legal costs associated with loss contingencies as such costs are incurred.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Environmental Expenditures. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Nautilus expenses environmental expenditures related to conditions caused by past operations that do not generate current or future revenues. Environmental expenditures related to operations that generate current or future revenues are expensed or capitalized, as appropriate. Undiscounted liabilities are recorded when the necessity for environmental remediation becomes probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated, or when other potential environmental liabilities are reasonably estimable and probable.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Adoption of New Accounting Standards.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> The following new Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) were adopted during 2021 and the effects of such adoptions, if any, are presented in the accompanying Financial Statements:</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">Accounting for Contract Assets and Liabilities from Contracts with Customers in a Business Combination</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">Effective November 1, 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08 on a retrospective basis beginning January 1, 2021.
