REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Participants of

Spectra Energy Retirement Savings Plan

Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Spectra Energy Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2009, and (2) reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 2009, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic 2009 financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2009 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic 2009 financial statements taken as a whole.

SPECTRA ENERGY

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the Year Ended December 31, 2009

 

 

1. Description of the Plan

The following description of the Spectra Energy Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

Effective with the separation from Duke Energy Corporation (Duke Energy) on January 2, 2007, Spectra Energy Corp (the Company or Spectra Energy) established the Plan for the benefit of its employees. Benefits provided are substantially the same as those previously provided by the Duke Energy Retirement Savings Plan (the Duke RSP). The accounts of participants who were in the Duke RSP on December 31, 2006, and who became employees of the Company on January 2, 2007, were transferred to the Plan in 2007.

The U.S. Large Cap Growth Equity Fund, which was managed by Alliance Bernstein during 2008, was sold in December 2008. In January 2009, the participant balances impacted by the sale, were wholly invested in the Citigroup Institutional Trust Company Large Cap Growth Equity Fund managed by Rainier Investment Management. Participants were notified of sale and investment transfer prior to the transaction date. The receivable for the sale of such securities at December 31, 2008 was $11,229,015, which was received in 2009. The Non-U.S. Equity Fund, which was managed by Capital Guardian International, was liquidated in January 2009 and was invested in the Templeton Institutional Funds, Inc-Foreign Equity Series-Primary Class.

Participation and Purpose

The Plan is sponsored by Spectra Energy. Spectra Energy and each of its affiliated companies that is at least 80% owned and that participate in the Plan are collectively referred to as “Participating Companies.”

The purpose of the Plan is to provide an opportunity for eligible employees to enhance their long-range financial security through employee contributions, matching contributions from Participating Companies, and investments among certain investment funds, one of which provides an investment interest in Spectra Energy common stock. This is a defined contribution plan with an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) feature and is subject to the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

Generally, employees of Participating Companies are eligible to enter and participate in the Plan if they (1) have attained the age of 18, and (2) are paid on the Participating Companies’ U.S. payroll system.

Contributions

Participants may authorize payroll deductions from eligible earnings in the form of before-tax deferrals and/or after-tax deferrals. Participants may elect to contribute (subject to certain limitations) up to 75% of eligible earnings per pay period without regard to years of service. Various provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) may limit the deferrals of some highly compensated employees. The Plan is required to return contributions received during the Plan year in excess of IRC limits. All deferrals are exempt, up to the allowed maximum, from federal and state income tax withholding in the year they are deferred, but are subject to payroll taxes. Participant deferrals are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k) of the IRC. Participating Companies contribute (subject to certain limitations) an amount equal to 100% of before-tax contributions, excluding catch-up contributions, of up to 6% of eligible pay per pay period. Participant after-tax contributions and matching contributions are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(m) of the IRC.

Employees who are eligible to make before-tax deferrals under the plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions, in accordance with, and subject to certain limitations.

For the ESOP portion of the Plan, matching contributions shall be invested in the Spectra Energy Company Stock Fund and shall thereafter be subject to participant direction. The Employer may contribute the matching contribution in company stock, valued as determined in accordance with procedures established by Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity), the Plan Administrator and Trustee. The Employer made stock contributions of $9,978,392 in 2009; no stock contributions were made in 2008.

Rollover Contributions to the Plan

Rollover contributions represent amounts recorded when participants elect to contribute amounts to their Plan accounts from other eligible, tax-qualified retirement plans or qualified individual retirement accounts. Rollover contributions of $477,269 were made to the Plan in 2009.

Investments

Subject to limitations discussed below, participants may invest their Plan accounts in any or all of the investment funds offered in the Plan.

Participants under the Duke RSP who were transferred into the Plan may have a portion of their account invested in Duke Energy Common Stock Fund (prior ESOP account). However, no new amounts may be invested in this fund. As of December 31, 2009, the Duke Energy Common Stock Fund is no longer available under the Plan and the assets of the fund were frozen to all Participant activity and will be liquidated in 2010 and reinvested into the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund. As of December 31, 2009, $11,727,548 remained in the Duke Energy Common Stock Fund.

Matching contributions will initially be invested in the Spectra Energy Common Stock Fund; however, participants may transfer all or a portion of the matching contributions out of the Spectra Energy Common Stock Fund into any other fund as early as the next business day.

Participant Accounts

Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, Company contributions, and Plan earnings, and charged with benefit payments and allocations of Plan losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. The selection from available investment funds is the sole responsibility of each participant.

Vesting and Payment of Benefits

Participants are 100% vested in their Plan accounts. Participants may elect to receive certain distributions from their Plan accounts during continuation of employment. The Plan provides for several different types of in-service withdrawals, including hardship and age 59 1 /2 withdrawals. A hardship distribution must comply with Section 401(k) of the IRC.

Upon termination of employment for any reason, participants (or if deceased, their beneficiaries) may request the distribution of the balance of their Plan accounts. Distributions are made as soon as practicable after the occasion for the distribution, except that participants may elect that a distribution be delayed until no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which they attain age 70 1/2. A beneficiary of a deceased participant may elect that a distribution be delayed for up to one year following the date of death.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow, with some limitations, from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of (i) $50,000 minus the highest outstanding loan balance during the 12-month period prior to the new loan, or (ii) 50% of their account balances. Loan terms range up to 58 months or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loan is secured by the balance in the participant’s Plan account and the interest rate will be a reasonable fixed rate that is determined in accordance with the procedures established by the Spectra Energy Benefits Committee, which consider all relevant factors, including current rates of interest charged by commercial banks for similar loans. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loan receipts will be reinvested based on the participant’s investment election for employee contributions at the time of repayment.

Loans shall be available to each eligible employee who is actively employed by the Company, and whose balance in his account totals at least $2,000; provided, however, that (1) if the eligible employee had a prior loan under the Plan that has been paid in full, the final payment on such loan was made at least seven days prior to the effective date of the new loan, and (2) any amounts in the prior ESOP account shall not be liquidated to fund such loan.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

- 5 -


Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan utilizes various investment instruments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Shares of registered investment funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net assets value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Investments in common collective investment trust funds and separately managed funds (funds) are stated at fair values, which have been determined based on the unit values of the funds. Unit values are determined by the organization sponsoring such funds by dividing the fund’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at each valuation date. Spectra Energy common stock and Duke Energy common stock are stated at estimated fair values, which have been determined based on the fair value of the underlying investments within the fund; these common stock funds are unitized funds specific to the Plan. Money market funds are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Participant loans are valued at the outstanding loan balance, which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments in the common trust funds are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan or the Plan’s Sponsor as provided in the Plan document.

Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

The accounting standards initially adopted in the 2009 financial statements described below affected certain note disclosures but did not impact the statements of net assets available for benefits or the statement of changes of net assets available for benefits.

Accounting Standards Codification

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASB’s official source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to all public and nonpublic nongovernmental entities, superseding existing guidance issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and other related literature. The FASB also issues Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). An ASU communicates amendments to the ASC. An ASU also provides information to help a user of GAAP understand how and why GAAP is changing and when the changes will be effective.

Subsequent Events

In May 2009 and as amended in February 2010, the FASB issued ASC 855 (originally issued as FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events) to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosing events that occur after the balance sheet date, but prior to the issuance of financial statements. ASC 855 provides guidance on when financial statements should be adjusted for subsequent events and requires companies to disclose subsequent events and the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASC 855 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009.

Updates to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

In 2009, FASB Staff Position 157-4, Disclosures Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP), was issued and later codified into ASC 820, which expanded disclosures and required that major category for debt and equity securities in the fair value hierarchy table be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investments.

 

- 6 -


In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASU 2009-12”), which amended ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Overall. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2009. ASU No. 2009-12 expands the required disclosures for certain investments with a reported net asset value (NAV). ASU No. 2009-12 permits, as a practical expedient, an entity holding investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share or its equivalent for which the fair value is not readily determinable, to measure the fair value of such investments on the basis of that net asset value per share or its equivalent without adjustment. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures about the nature and risks of investments within its scope. Such disclosures include the nature of any restrictions on an investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments, and the investment strategies of the investee. The Plan has adopted ASU No. 2009-12 on a prospective basis for the year ended December 31, 2009 (see Note 10). The effect of the adoption of the ASU had no impact on the statements of net assets available for benefits and statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

New Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU No. 2010-06), which amends ASC 820 (originally issued as FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements), adding new disclosure requirements for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Plan is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2010-06 will have on the financial statements.

Participants typically receive distributions in cash, however, they may elect to receive the amount that is invested in the Spectra Energy Common Stock Fund as of the date of distribution in whole shares of Spectra Energy Corp common stock and cash for any fractional shares. In kind distributions qualify as related party transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2009, in kind distributions were $7,268,497 for the Spectra Energy Common Stock Fund.

 

- 8 -


6. Exempt Party-in-Interest Transactions

Fidelity is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, transactions with Fidelity and the funds they manage qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Investment management fees and operating fees paid by the Plan were included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund. Administrative fees paid by the Plan were $21,175 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Included in the Plan’s investments are shares of common stock of Spectra Energy, the Plan’s sponsor. Transactions in shares of Spectra Energy common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan held 8,801,723 and 7,926,567 shares, respectively, which equates to 16,999,015 and 14,934,207 equivalent units, respectively, under the Plan’s unitized recordkeeping approach, of Spectra Energy stock with a cost basis of $180,151,627 and $166,364,078, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan recorded related dividend income of approximately $6,036,118 and $4,346,519, respectively.

7. Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event that the Plan is terminated, participants would become 100% vested in their accounts

8. Federal Income Tax Status

The Plan has applied for but has not received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Plan experienced operational errors. In order to prevent the Plan from incurring a qualification defect, the Plan’s management took necessary corrective actions. As a result, the Plan’s management believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

9. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, established a single authoritative definition of fair value, set a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Plan classifies its investments into Level 1, which refers to securities valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Investments are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy a summary of the Plan’s investments at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

We classify the common stock funds as Level 2 because it is a unitized stock fund comprised of our underlying common stock and a short-term cash component. A unitized fund differs from a mutual fund since a mutual fund is a registered security and a unitized fund is not a registered security. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of the underlying stock and market value of the short-term cash position. The market value of the common stock portion of the fund is based on the closing market price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange times the number of shares held in the fund.

The valuation methods as described in Note 2 may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

10. Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share

In accordance with ASU No. 2009-12, the Plan expanded its disclosures to include the category, fair value, redemption frequency, and redemption notice period for those assets whose fair value is estimated using the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2009.

The following table for December 31, 2009, sets forth a summary of the Plan’s investments with a reported NAV.

* The fair values of the investments have been estimated using the net asset value of the investment.
(a) The State Street Global Advisory (SSGA) Conservative Balanced Fund seeks to provide a stand-alone, well-diversified investment fund for investors who have a short to medium investment time frame or are looking for a single investment fund that provides an opportunity for stable income with controlled risk in addition to some growth.
(b) The SSGA Moderate Balanced Fund seeks to provide a stand-alone, well-diversified investment fund for investors who have a longer investment time frame or are looking for a single investment fund that provides the opportunity for income and long-term capital growth.
(c) The SSGA Aggressive Balanced Fund seeks to provide a stand-alone, well-diversified investment fund for investors who have a longer investment time frame or are looking for a single investment fund that provides the opportunity for long-term capital growth and some income.
(d) The BlackRock Equity Index Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth and income by attempting to provide results that track the performance of the Standard & Poors 500 (S&P 500) Index.
(e) The BlackRock Large Cap Value Fund seeks to provide investors with a method of capturing the returns of the market of large U.S. value stocks.
(f) The U.S. Large Cap Growth Equity Fund seeks to provide investors with a method of capturing the returns of the market of large U.S. growth stocks.
(g) The U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund seeks a return (capital appreciation and current income) greater than that of the Russell 2500 Index. In doing so, the fund will place relatively greater emphasis on capital appreciation than on current income.
(h) The Duke Energy Common Stock Fund is for investors seeking capital appreciation over the long-term through, and with an acceptance of the volatility inherent with, investment in a single company’s stock. This fund is “frozen,” meaning that participants may exchange their investment out of, but may not increase their investment in, the Duke Energy Common Stock Fund.
(i) The Spectra Energy Common Stock Fund is for investors seeking capital appreciation over the long-term through, and with an acceptance of the volatility inherent with, investment in a single company’s stock.

11. Subsequent Events

The Plan evaluated significant events and transactions that occurred through the date of this report and has determined that there were no events or transactions other than those disclosed in this report that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Beginning with the 2010 Plan year, former employees who have account balances remaining under the Plan (and their beneficiaries or alternate payees under any qualified domestic relations order) will be charged with a portion of the Plan’s record keeping expenses. Active participants and participants who terminated due to disability will not be charged with such expenses. Administrative expenses other than these record keeping expenses will continue to be paid by the Company. Former participants with account balances will be charged with these record keeping expenses each quarter. The amount that will be charged is $25.75 per quarter.

Effective as of July 1, 2010, the U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund, managed by BlackRock, will be replaced with Robeco Investment Management managed by Robeco Large Cap Value Collective Investment Trust. All future contributions and existing balances in the prior investment fund will be automatically transferred to the new investment fund as of close of business on July 1, 2010.

Also effective as of July 1, 2010, the following new investment funds will be added to the plan: U.S. Debt Index Fund T managed by BlackRock, Small Cap Value Institutional Mutual Fund managed by American Beacon Advisors, Small Cap Growth Trust managed by TCW Investment Management and BlackRock Life Path funds managed by BlackRock.
