NEWS RELEASE
ENBRIDGE REPORTS ANOTHER SOLID QUARTER AND A SIGNIFICANT GAIN ON THE SALE OF CLH
HIGHLIGHTS
| Second quarter earnings increased 349% to $658 million |
| Second quarter adjusted operating earnings increased 15% to $150 million |
| Six month earnings increased 143% to $909 million |
| Six month adjusted operating earnings increased 8% to $388 million |
| Investment in Compañia Logística de Hidrocarburos CLH, S.A. sold for $1.38 billion |
| Trailbreaker Project launched to access the U.S. Gulf Coast as well as Eastern Canadian and U.S. East Coast refineries |
| Waupisoo Pipeline completed and ready to receive volumes |
CALGARY, Alberta, July 31, 2008 "Strong earnings for the first half of 2008 exceeded our expectations and reflected favourable performance from our Liquids Pipelines and Gas Distribution and Services businesses as well as impressive results from our U.S. affiliate, Enbridge Energy Partners," said Patrick D. Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This performance causes us to increase our previously communicated 2008 guidance range from $1.80 to $1.90 adjusted operating earnings per share to $1.85 to $1.95 adjusted operating earnings per share and leaves us well positioned to meet our medium-term target of 10% average annual earnings per share growth over the 2008 to 2011 period.
We expect earnings per share growth to accelerate as new projects come into service. During the second quarter of 2008, the Waupisoo Pipeline, which brings oil sands sourced crude oil to the Edmonton, Alberta area, was completed and started contributing to earnings one month ahead of schedule. We are also on track to complete the Ontario Wind Project later this year. The Light Crude Capacity Expansion Program component of the Southern Lights Project is on schedule for completion by the end of 2008 and our Line 4 Extension Project and the final phase of Southern Access Expansion are on schedule for completion in early 2009. In 2010, projects expected to come into service include the Alberta Clipper project, which is a further expansion of the Enbridge System, and our innovative Southern Lights Pipeline, which will bring diluent from Chicago to the Edmonton area.
We are very pleased with the results of the sale of our 25% interest in CLH. The transaction brought in $1.38 billion in proceeds which will be redeployed towards the Company's extensive slate of pipeline projects in Canada and the United States. The Company realized a gain of $556 million on the sale which, together with previous dividends, translates to an overall average annual return on our investment of 20%."
Mr. Daniel concluded, "Currently, our focus is continued efficient operation of our core businesses while diligently advancing our construction projects, which will generate new and sustainable sources of earnings over the years to come. We are also focused on configuring our system to maximize flexibility and meet the growth needs of shippers, including placing high priority on developing the timely and cost effective market access to the U.S. Gulf Coast."
On July 30, 2008, the Enbridge Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.33 per common share and $0.34375 per Series A Preferred Share. Both dividends are payable on September 1, 2008 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2008.

Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $657.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, or $1.83 per share, compared with $146.5 million, or $0.41 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $511.2 million increase reflected a $556.1 million after-tax gain on the sale of the Company's interest in Compañia Logística de Hidrocarburos CLH, S.A. (CLH) and favourable operating performance as discussed below, partially offset by unrealized fair value losses on derivative financial instruments in Energy Services. Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2007 included an $11.8 million dilution gain resulting from Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP) issuing partnership units during the quarter.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $909.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, or $2.53 per share, compared with $373.5 million, or $1.06 per share, for the same period in 2007. The increase in earnings resulted from similar factors as for the three month results; however, earnings for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 also reflected the recognition of a $32.2 million income tax charge as a result of an unfavourable court decision related to previously owned U.S. pipeline assets.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
This news release contains references to adjusted operating earnings, which represent earnings applicable to common shareholders adjusted for non-operating factors. The non-operating factors are reconciled and discussed in the Financial Results sections for the business segments. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted operating earnings provides useful information to investors and shareholders as it provides increased predictive value. Management uses adjusted operating earnings to set targets and assess performance of the Company. Also, the Company's dividend payout target is based on adjusted operating earnings. Adjusted operating earnings is not a measure that has a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is not considered a GAAP measure; therefore, this measure may not be comparable with a similar measure presented by other issuers.

2 - 2ND QUARTER 2008 NEWS RELEASE - ENBRIDGE INC.
Adjusted operating earnings were $149.5 million, or $0.42 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared with $129.5 million, or $0.36 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $388.4 million, or $1.08 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with $358.9 million, or $1.02 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The increase in adjusted operating earnings in both the three and six month periods was largely due to the following factors.
These increases were partially offset by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on U.S.-based operations.
While under construction, certain regulated pipelines are entitled to recognize AEDC in earnings. These amounts will contribute to earnings throughout the Company's significant growth period and will be collected in tolls once the pipelines are in service.
The Company has foreign currency denominated earnings, primarily from U.S. based operations and investments. The Company uses long-term derivative contracts to economically hedge a significant portion of the cash distributions from these long-term investments. However, this does not eliminate the Canadian GAAP volatility caused by exchange rate differences. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company settled foreign currency denominated cash distributions and associated hedge transactions resulting in $9.0 million (2007 $6.7 million) in incremental after-tax cash flows, which were not included in reported earnings.

derivatives used to "lock-in" the profitability of transportation and storage transactions at Tidal Energy. At the end of each period, the financial derivatives are revalued and the corresponding change in fair value is booked to income; however, the offsetting change in value of the underlying physical crude oil inventory is not revalued. As a result, non-cash losses may be recognized in periods of rising oil prices and profitability will be deferred until the original transaction settles.

16 - 2ND QUARTER 2008 NEWS RELEASE - ENBRIDGE INC.
ENBRIDGE REPORTS ANOTHER SOLID QUARTER AND A SIGNIFICANT GAIN ON THE SALE OF CLH
HIGHLIGHTS
| Second quarter earnings increased 349% to $658 million |
| Second quarter adjusted operating earnings increased 15% to $150 million |
| Six month earnings increased 143% to $909 million |
| Six month adjusted operating earnings increased 8% to $388 million |
| Investment in Compañia Logística de Hidrocarburos CLH, S.A. sold for $1.38 billion |
| Trailbreaker Project launched to access the U.S. Gulf Coast as well as Eastern Canadian and U.S. East Coast refineries |
| Waupisoo Pipeline completed and ready to receive volumes |
CALGARY, Alberta, July 31, 2008 "Strong earnings for the first half of 2008 exceeded our expectations and reflected favourable performance from our Liquids Pipelines and Gas Distribution and Services businesses as well as impressive results from our U.S. affiliate, Enbridge Energy Partners," said Patrick D. Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This performance causes us to increase our previously communicated 2008 guidance range from $1.80 to $1.90 adjusted operating earnings per share to $1.85 to $1.95 adjusted operating earnings per share and leaves us well positioned to meet our medium-term target of 10% average annual earnings per share growth over the 2008 to 2011 period.
We expect earnings per share growth to accelerate as new projects come into service. During the second quarter of 2008, the Waupisoo Pipeline, which brings oil sands sourced crude oil to the Edmonton, Alberta area, was completed and started contributing to earnings one month ahead of schedule. We are also on track to complete the Ontario Wind Project later this year. The Light Crude Capacity Expansion Program component of the Southern Lights Project is on schedule for completion by the end of 2008 and our Line 4 Extension Project and the final phase of Southern Access Expansion are on schedule for completion in early 2009. In 2010, projects expected to come into service include the Alberta Clipper project, which is a further expansion of the Enbridge System, and our innovative Southern Lights Pipeline, which will bring diluent from Chicago to the Edmonton area.
We are very pleased with the results of the sale of our 25% interest in CLH. The transaction brought in $1.38 billion in proceeds which will be redeployed towards the Company's extensive slate of pipeline projects in Canada and the United States. The Company realized a gain of $556 million on the sale which, together with previous dividends, translates to an overall average annual return on our investment of 20%."
Mr. Daniel concluded, "Currently, our focus is continued efficient operation of our core businesses while diligently advancing our construction projects, which will generate new and sustainable sources of earnings over the years to come. We are also focused on configuring our system to maximize flexibility and meet the growth needs of shippers, including placing high priority on developing the timely and cost effective market access to the U.S. Gulf Coast."
On July 30, 2008, the Enbridge Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.33 per common share and $0.34375 per Series A Preferred Share. Both dividends are payable on September 1, 2008 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2008.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Inc. (Enbridge or the Company) as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. It should also be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A contained in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Earnings per Common Share | 1.83 | 0.41 | 2.53 | 1.06 | |||||
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $657.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, or $1.83 per share, compared with $146.5 million, or $0.41 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $511.2 million increase reflected a $556.1 million after-tax gain on the sale of the Company's interest in Compañia Logística de Hidrocarburos CLH, S.A. (CLH) and favourable operating performance as discussed below, partially offset by unrealized fair value losses on derivative financial instruments in Energy Services. Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2007 included an $11.8 million dilution gain resulting from Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP) issuing partnership units during the quarter.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $909.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, or $2.53 per share, compared with $373.5 million, or $1.06 per share, for the same period in 2007. The increase in earnings resulted from similar factors as for the three month results; however, earnings for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 also reflected the recognition of a $32.2 million income tax charge as a result of an unfavourable court decision related to previously owned U.S. pipeline assets.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements, have been included in this MD&A to provide Enbridge shareholders and potential investors with information about the Company and its subsidiaries, including management's assessment of Enbridge's and its subsidiaries' future plans and operations.

Adjusted operating earnings were $149.5 million, or $0.42 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared with $129.5 million, or $0.36 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $388.4 million, or $1.08 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with $358.9 million, or $1.02 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The increase in adjusted operating earnings in both the three and six month periods was largely due to the following factors.
These increases were partially offset by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on U.S.-based operations.
While under construction, certain regulated pipelines are entitled to recognize AEDC in earnings. These amounts will contribute to earnings throughout the Company's significant growth period and will be collected in tolls once the pipelines are in service.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
LIQUIDS PIPELINES
The Liquids Pipelines strategy is driven by the shippers' need for expanded export capacity, market alternatives and economic sources of diluent, and U.S. refiners' need to maintain diversified sources of supply. Second quarter progress on growth projects within each of the five key components of the Liquids Pipelines strategy are discussed below.
1. Regional Oil Sands Infrastructure
Waupisoo Pipeline
Construction on the 30-inch diameter, 380-kilometre (236-mile) long pipeline which transports crude oil from the Cheecham terminal to Edmonton, Alberta was completed and the pipeline was placed into service on May 31, 2008. Activities to complete the initial filling of the pipeline with shippers' product are underway. The initial capacity of the line will be 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) and is expandable to a maximum of 600,000 bpd with additional pumping units.
Athabasca Pipeline Expansion Projects
With the commencement of production from the Long Lake Oil Sands Project in the first quarter of 2008, all contracts are initiated and the expansions are in-service.
ENBRIDGE INC. - 2ND QUARTER 2008 MD&A - 3
Fort Hills Pipeline System
Regulatory applications were filed with the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) and Alberta Environment in June 2008 for a crude oil line of 42 inches in diameter and a diluent pipeline of 24 inches in diameter, subject to sanctioning of the overall Fort Hills project and the scope of the delivery system, expected in the fall of 2008. Project execution planning between the Company and the Fort Hills Energy Partners continues and a planned in-service date of mid-2011 remains as the target. Cost estimates will be revised as the project progresses and scope is finalized.
2. Mainline Capacity
Southern Access Mainline Expansion Project
The Southern Access Mainline Expansion Project will ultimately add a total of 400,000 bpd incremental capacity to the mainline system. In Canada, upgrades at 18 pump stations to improve pumping effectiveness are substantially complete with a realized capacity increase of 63,000 bpd. Associated tolls are now being collected.
In the United States, the new Superior station and the new 42-inch diameter pipeline from Superior to Delavan, Wisconsin has been completed, placed into commercial service and was ready to receive linefill at the end of the first quarter of 2008. The system is now scheduled to be filled between the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 as crude is made available by shippers. The first stage of the expansion adds capacity of approximately 190,000 bpd to the pipeline and system-wide toll surcharges were effective April 1, 2008 for the facilities that have been put into service. The second stage of the expansion project is progressing and construction started in June 2008. This stage consists of a new pipeline from Delavan, Wisconsin to Flanagan, Illinois which is expected to be complete in the second quarter of 2009.
The expected cost of the project has been decreased to an estimated US$2.3 billion (Enbridge $0.2 billion, EEP US$2.1 billion). The estimated capital cost for the Canadian portion was revised from $0.3 billion to $0.2 billion based on refinements to the scope of the project, agreed to with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), to reflect the subsequent approval of the Alberta Clipper Project. Expenditures to date on the Southern Access Mainline Expansion are $1.5 billion and $0.2 billion on the U.S. and Canadian portions, respectively.
Alberta Clipper Project
In the first quarter of 2008, Enbridge received National Energy Board (NEB) approval to construct the 1,607-kilometre (1,000-mile) 36-inch diameter crude oil pipeline. Engineering, construction planning and procurement activities continue with construction scheduled to begin in August 2008.
Line 4 Extension Project
In April 2008 the NEB approved Enbridge's regulatory application for the construction and operation of the $0.3 billion Line 4 Extension project. Construction will commence in July 2008 and the Line 4 Extension is expected to be in service in early 2009.
3. Diluent Supply
Southern Lights Pipeline
The Canadian portion of the Southern Lights Pipeline received NEB approval in the first quarter of 2008. Following this approval, construction on the Line 2 modifications and the new crude oil pipeline station facilities has begun. In the U.S., construction activities are complete on the 321-mile (517-kilometre) section from Superior to Delavan, Wisconsin. Construction of the remaining U.S. line segments began in June 2008. When completed, the 180,000 bpd, 20-inch Southern Lights Pipeline will transport diluent from Chicago, Illinois to Edmonton, Alberta. The total expected project cost remains unchanged at $2.2 billion (including AFUDC), with expenditures to date of $0.7 billion. The diluent line is expected to be in service in late 2010.
4 - 2ND QUARTER 2008 MD&A - ENBRIDGE INC.
4. New Market Access
Southern Access Extension Project
Timing for the Company's Southern Access Extension Project is being reevaluated as a result of delays in the regulatory process and denial by the FERC of the Company's October 2007 filing seeking a declaratory order (i.e. advance approval) of the tariff rate structure for the pipeline. Enbridge remains committed to meeting the demands of shippers for transportation of crude oil supplies from the Chicago area to the Patoka, Illinois hub and is working with customers to reposition the project in a manner that is commercially appropriate for the market and includes a tolling structure the FERC is expected to approve.
U.S. Gulf Coast Access
Based on feedback from shippers, Enbridge has modified its approach to providing increased access for Western Canadian crude oil to U.S. Gulf Coast markets. In the near term, the focus will be on smaller scale alternatives involving low cost reconfiguration of existing facilities to accommodate a modest amount of volume as early as 2010 such as the Trailbreaker Project described below. The Company will continue to develop the 400,000 bpd Texas Access Pipeline to provide the lowest cost large scale transportation solution to meet shippers' post-2010 requirements. The Texas Access Pipeline is expected to cost approximately $2.6 billion based on a 2012 in-service date.
Trailbreaker Project
The Company has initiated a new project to increase capacity on the Company's mainline east of Chicago to bring Western Canadian crude oil to eastern markets and to establish access to the U.S. Gulf Coast markets and eastern seaboard. The program scope includes an expansion of Line 6B from Chicago to Sarnia, Ontario, terminal expansions and upgrades, and the reversal of the Company's Line 9 to flow from Sarnia east to Montreal, Quebec. The third-party owned Portland Montreal Pipe Line would also reverse one of its two pipelines to transport crude oil from Montreal to Portland, Maine, where it will access a marine terminal. Industry support for the new project is currently being finalized. The Trailbreaker Project is expected to cost approximately $0.4 billion. Subject to finalization of industry support, regulatory and other approvals, the Company estimates the Trailbreaker Project will be in-service in the 2010 timeframe.
5. Terminaling and Tankage Infrastructure
Hardisty Terminal
Enbridge is building a crude oil terminal at Hardisty with a tankage capacity of 7.5 million barrels. Tankage construction is approximately 65% complete at the end of the second quarter of 2008. Once complete, the $0.6 billion Hardisty Terminal will be one of the largest crude oil terminals in North America.
Stonefell Terminal
BA Energy Inc. is building a bitumen upgrader near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta for which Enbridge has agreed to provide pipeline and terminaling services. Based on initial scope and cost estimates, Enbridge expects to invest approximately $0.1 billion in new facilities to provide tankage services at a new satellite terminal to be developed adjacent to the upgrader. Enbridge was directed by BA Energy to stop work on this project and place the newly constructed tanks into standby. Enbridge expects construction to resume at a future date to be determined by BA Energy. The Enbridge contractors have been demobilized and the project assets are in a storage mode. Enbridge's costs incurred to date, including a return on investment, have been fully reimbursed by BA Energy pending a resumption of construction activities.
GAS PIPELINES
The Gas Pipelines strategy is based on the Company's forecast supply and demand for natural gas. Progress made on major projects which support this strategy is set out below.
ENBRIDGE INC. - 2ND QUARTER 2008 MD&A - 5
Rockies Alliance Pipeline
Alliance Pipeline US, a company in which Enbridge has a joint venture interest, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company to develop the Rockies Alliance Pipeline. The proposed project is a 42-inch diameter 900-mile (1,450-kilometre) pipeline from the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming to the Ventura, Iowa area. Modifications to the scope of the project are under review to reflect shipper input following the open season completed June 16, 2008. Subject to obtaining shipper commitments and regulatory approvals, the pipeline could be placed into service as early as the third quarter of 2011.
Thunder Horse Production Project
During the second quarter of 2008, the first well in the Thunder Horse Project was put in service ahead of the producer's revised schedule. This significant third party-owned project, which will deliver natural gas into Enbridge Offshore Pipeline's (Offshore) gathering systems, has experienced startup issues due to the severe 2005 hurricanes which delayed its original in-service schedule.
SPONSORED INVESTMENTS
The strategy of Enbridge's affiliate, EEP, is to increase its distributions primarily through the optimization of existing assets, including increased throughput, and the expansion of existing liquids and gas midstream businesses. Progress made on projects being undertaken solely by EEP is discussed below.
East Texas System Expansion and Extension (Project Clarity)
Completion of this 36-inch diameter pipeline in stages during 2008 will add 0.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) capacity to the current East Texas infrastructure. The construction of the final pipeline connection and two compression stations is expected to be complete in the fourth quarter. The pipeline, with an expected ultimate cost of US$0.6 billion, connects Bethel, Texas to Orange, Texas and provides service to a number of major industrial companies in Southeast Texas with interconnects to interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines and wholesale customers.
GAS DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICES
Enbridge Gas Distribution
Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) is focused on realigning its business to operate more efficiently under the incentive regulation (IR) plan approved by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for the five year period from 2008 to 2012. Key initiatives include prioritizing capital investment, improving productivity and identifying new revenue opportunities while maintaining system reliability and safety.
On May 15, 2008 EGD was granted a fiscal 2008 final rate order from the OEB, approving a change in rates effective January 1, 2008. The rate change was implemented on July 1, 2008 and will enable EGD to recover revenues retroactively to January 1, 2008. EGD anticipates that the OEB's decision will result in an annual average increase, excluding gas supply costs, of approximately 2% for average residential customers within the IR plan term. The OEB decision also changed customer billing to increase the fixed charge portion and decrease the per unit volumetric charge. The fixed charge portion will increase progressively over the five year IR term.
Rabaska LNG Facility
In the second quarter of 2008, the Rabaska partners signed a Letter of Intent with Gazprom Marketing & Trading USA, Inc. (GMTUSA) regarding supply for the proposed Rabaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal. The Letter of Intent outlines the major terms under which GMTUSA will become an equity partner in the proposed Rabaska LNG project and will contract for 100% of the Rabaska terminal's capacity. Definitive partnership agreements are expected to be completed before the end of the year and the capacity agreement will follow in 2009. The Rabaska LNG facility, which has an expected cost of $0.8 billion to Enbridge, has all major authorizations, including project and land use approvals from the province of Quebec in October 2007 and federal government approvals in March 2008.

Ontario Wind Project
Progress towards the completion of the 190-megawatt wind power project, located in the Municipality of Kincardine on the Eastern shore of Lake Huron in Ontario, has continued in the second quarter of 2008. Construction of turbine foundations, electrical sub-station and utility transmission lines is underway, with construction of all access roads having been completed. Turbine assembly and erection commenced in the second quarter and is expected to be completed during the third quarter. The project is expected to begin producing electricity during the third quarter of 2008 and be fully operational by the end of 2008.
Alberta Saline Aquifer Project
Enbridge continued to lead and advance the Alberta Saline Aquifer Project (ASAP), an industry-wide project to develop CO2 sequestration facilities. In the second quarter, new participants joined the initiative, bringing the total number of companies involved to 33. The project also secured $0.3 million in funding from the Alberta Energy Research Institute. Enbridge plans to commence construction of the pilot project in 2009.

Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $76.3 million, compared with $65.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, while earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $152.4 million, an increase of $17.7 million compared with earnings of $134.7 million in the prior year comparable period. The earnings increase for both the three and six month periods was largely due to higher earnings from Enbridge System, Athabasca System and Southern Lights Pipeline.
Enbridge System earnings increased primarily due to the AEDC on both Southern Access Mainline Expansion (Phase 2) and Alberta Clipper Project. The increase in Athabasca System earnings reflected the initial month of tolls collected on Waupisoo Pipeline during the quarter. Olympic Pipeline earnings decreased in the six month period due to planned maintenance in the first quarter of 2008. Second quarter results reflected higher throughputs and higher average tolls. Spearhead Pipeline year-to-date earnings increased compared with the prior year as a result of higher throughputs. In the second quarter of 2008, lower uncommitted volumes reduced earnings. Southern Lights Pipeline earnings reflected AEDC recognized while the project is under construction.

Adjusted operating earnings for Alliance Pipeline US were lower due to the effect of a depreciating rate base and the weaker U.S. dollar.
Offshore adjusted operating earnings decreased as a result of continuing natural production declines and the effect of the weaker U.S. dollar partially offset by higher stand-by fees on the Neptune oil and gas pipelines as well as contributions from Atlantis platform volumes. Also, earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included $6.0 million from business interruption policies related to lost revenue in 2005 and 2006 as a result of the 2005 hurricanes. A smaller final insurance claim settlement is expected later in 2008.
Gas Pipelines earnings were impacted by several non-operating adjusting items. In the first quarter of 2008, Alliance Pipeline US received $2.8 million in proceeds from the settlement of a claim against a former shipper which repudiated its capacity commitment. In the second quarter of 2008, Offshore incurred $2.3 million in additional costs related to the 2005 hurricanes. Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included insurance proceeds of $5.3 million related to the replacement of damaged infrastructure as a result of the 2005 hurricanes.

EGD's adjusted operating earnings were $10.9 million (2007 $7.8 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2008, while earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $95.6 million (2007 $92.6 million). Under Incentive Regulation, as initially reflected in results for the first quarter of 2008, EGD's fixed charge per customer increased with a corresponding decrease in the per unit volumetric charge. These changes modify the quarterly earnings profile, but do not materially affect full year earnings as revenues are shifted from the colder winter quarters to the warmer summer quarters. This change reduced year-to-date earnings, primarily in the first quarter; however, the decrease was more than offset by customer growth, lower tax rates and lower operating costs.
Energy Services adjusted operating earnings increased by $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due to higher margins captured on storage and transportation contracts as well as increased transportation and storage volumes in Tidal Energy.
Aux Sable adjusted operating earnings increased from $2.9 million in 2007 to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and from $2.4 million to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 due to strong fractionation margins which enabled the Company to recognize earnings from the upside sharing mechanism.
Other incurred a loss of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with earnings of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The earnings decrease was substantially a result of
ENBRIDGE INC. - 2ND QUARTER 2008 MD&A - 9
lower earnings from CustomerWorks which reflected the April 2007 transition of customer care services related to EGD to a third party service provider pursuant to an OEB recommendation.
Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were impacted by several non-operating adjusting items. Energy Services earnings in 2008 reflected $35.2 million of unrealized fair value losses on derivative instruments. These non-cash losses resulted from outstanding storage transactions in Tidal Energy that were negatively impacted by rising crude oil prices and arise due to the revaluation of financial derivatives used to "lock-in" the profitability of transportation and storage transactions at Tidal Energy. At the end of each period, the financial derivatives are revalued and the corresponding change in fair value is booked to income; however, the offsetting change in value of the underlying physical crude oil inventory are not revalued. As a result, non-cash losses may be recognized in periods of rising oil prices and profitability will be deferred until the original transaction settles.
Aux Sable year-to-date earnings were also impacted by unrealized fair value gains on derivative financial instruments of $13.6 million (2007 losses of $11.1 million). These financial instruments are used to mitigate the uncertainty of the Company's share of the contingent upside sharing mechanism, which allows Aux Sable to share in natural gas processing margins in excess of certain thresholds.

The decrease in adjusted costs for both the three and six months ended was primarily due to decreased interest expense resulting from lower interest rates on short-term debt as well as lower levels of corporate debt, largely related to repayments from the proceeds of the sale of CLH.
10 - 2ND QUARTER 2008 MD&A - ENBRIDGE INC.
Corporate results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were also impacted by an unfavourable court decision related to the tax basis of previously owned U.S. pipeline assets which resulted in the recognition of a $32.2 million income tax expense, as discussed below. This charge was partially offset by a $4.9 million gain on the sale of a corporate aircraft.
Enbridge Energy Company, Inc. (EEC), a subsidiary of the Company and the general partner of EEP, is the former owner of Enbridge Midcoast Energy Inc. (Midcoast). The IRS challenged Midcoast's tax treatment of its 1999 acquisition of several partnerships that owned a natural gas pipeline system in Kansas (these assets were sold to EEP in 2002 and subsequently sold by EEP in 2007). In March 2008, an unfavourable court decision was received sustaining the IRS position, decreasing the U.S. tax basis for the pipeline assets. Enbridge's earnings for six months ended June 30, 2008 reflected a decrease of $32.2 million in consideration of the adverse court decision which, when combined with amounts previously recorded, provides fully for the liability. Given loss carryforwards in EEC prior to the decision, the cash tax impact of the decision was not significant. Enbridge continues to believe the tax treatment of the acquisition and the related tax deductions claimed were appropriate and is appealing the decision. A final decision on this matter is not expected before 2009.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company expects to generate sufficient cash from operations and short-term debt issuances to fund liabilities as they become due, finance planned investing activity and pay common share dividends throughout 2008. Additional liquidity, if necessary, is available under committed credit facilities or through further access to the capital markets. At June 30, 2008, the Company had $6.7 billion of committed credit facilities, of which $1.7 billion was drawn or used to backstop commercial paper.
During July the Company secured underwriting commitments for a $1.7 billion construction and four year post completion term facility for the Southern Lights project that is currently being syndicated and is expected to close before the end of the third quarter.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash provided by operating activities was $326.4 million and $1,082.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with $415.3 million and $1,181.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease resulted from lower earnings at EGD due to warmer than normal weather, and resulted from a lower decrease in inventory in 2008, largely arising from changes in commodity prices.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Cash provided by investing activities for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2008 was $674.8 million and $62.9 million, respectively, compared with a use of cash of $426.8 million and $913.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Although capital expenditures on organic growth projects have increased in 2008 for both the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2008, the sale of Enbridge's investment in CLH has resulted in positive cash flow from investing activities. In the second quarter of 2008, Enbridge received cash proceeds of $1.37 billion for the Company's 25% investment in CLH.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash used in financing activities was $932.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared with $30.2 million of cash generated for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Cash used in financing activities was $1,004.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with $151.1 million in the prior year. In 2008, debt was repaid and capital expenditures funded with proceeds from the CLH sale, whereas in 2007 these activities were funded through issuances of debt and equity.
Effective with dividends payable on March 1, 2008, participants in the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan received a 2% discount on the purchase of common shares with reinvested
ENBRIDGE INC. - 2ND QUARTER 2008 MD&A - 11
dividends. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, dividends declared were $243.9 million, of which $170.5 million were paid in cash and reflected in financing activities. The remaining $73.4 million of dividends declared were reinvested and resulted in the issuance of common shares rather than a cash payment. During the second quarter, 29% of total dividends declared were reinvested.
Capital Expenditure Commitments
The Company has signed contracts for the purchase of services, pipe and other materials totaling $1,837.6 million, to be used in the construction of several Liquids Pipelines projects including Southern Lights Pipeline, Alberta Clipper Project, Southern Access Expansion, Hardisty Terminal, Fort Hills Pipeline and Line 4 Extension.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
The Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed in February 2008 that publicly accountable entities will be required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim and annual financial statements on January 1, 2011.
Enbridge, as an SEC Registrant, can choose to use U.S. GAAP instead of IFRS. The Company has a multiyear transition plan and is currently determining whether U.S. GAAP or IFRS will provide the most transparent and appropriate presentation of its financial results. The Company expects the transition on January 1, 2011 to the new GAAP will impact accounting policies, financial reporting and information technology systems and processes.

ENBRIDGE INC. - 2ND QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 5
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Enbridge Inc.'s 2007 Annual Report. These accounting principles are different in some respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the significant differences that impact the Company's financial statements are described in Note 8. These interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as those included in the 2007 Annual Report. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, Section 3862, Financial Instruments Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments Presentation.
Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year due to the seasonal nature of the gas distribution utility business and other factors.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

ENBRIDGE INC. - 2ND QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 7
3. RISK MANAGEMENT
MARKET PRICE RISK
Enbridge's earnings are subject to movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices (collectively, market price risk). Formal risk management policies, processes and systems have been designed to mitigate these risks. The following summarizes the types of market price risks to which the Company is exposed and the risk management instruments used to mitigate them.
Earnings at Risk
Earnings at Risk (EaR) is the principal risk management metric used to quantify market price risk at Enbridge. EaR is an objective, statistically derived risk metric that measures, with a 97.5% level of confidence, the maximum adverse change in projected 12-month earnings that could result from market price risk over a one-month period. The Company's policy is to target a maximum EaR of 5% of earnings.
The Company calculates EaR using Monte Carlo simulation to produce projections of earnings using a randomly generated series of forecasted market prices and Enbridge's current market exposures. Historical statistical distributions of market prices and the correlation among those market prices are used to generate an entire probability distribution of possible deviations from forecast earnings.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk is the risk of gain or loss due to changes in the market price of commodities. The Company may use natural gas price swaps, futures and options to manage the value of commodity purchases and sales that arise from capacity commitments it holds on the Alliance and Vector pipelines. The Company may also use natural gas, power, crude oil and natural gas liquids swaps, collars or options to fix the value of variable price exposures that arise from other commodity usage, storage, transportation and supply agreements.
The Company's earnings are exposed to commodity price risk through its 42.7% interest in the Aux Sable NGL plant. Under the terms of the operating agreement, the Company earns a share of any net margin generated by the plant in excess of specified natural gas processing margin thresholds. A significant portion of this exposure has been economically hedged for 2008 and 2009 using financial derivatives. However, the unrealized gains and losses on the derivatives that settle in future periods are recognized in current period earnings, while recognition of the excess natural gas processing margin in earnings generally occurs later in the calendar year, based on the Company's revenue recognition policy.
Had fractionation spreads been 10 US cents per gallon higher or lower, earnings from Aux Sable would have been impacted by $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to the revaluation of the derivatives and limited recognition of the natural gas processing margin.
The Company is also exposed to commodity price risk through its Energy Services businesses as well as its investment in Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP). These businesses have limits as to the amount of capital they can deploy and, consequently, the amount to which their market exposures can impact earnings. The Company's Energy Services division and EEP have EaR limits of $12 million and $7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2008.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange risk is the risk of gains and losses due to the volatility of currency exchange rates. The Company has exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, primarily arising from its U.S. dollar denominated investments and, to a lesser extent, its monetary assets and liabilities denominated in this currency. The carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as the comprehensive income and earnings derived from them, are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuation. The Company uses long dated par forward contracts and cross currency swaps to manage a portion of the foreign exchange exposure related to both changes in carrying values of its equity investments and forecasted cash flows from other
8 - 2ND QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ENBRIDGE INC.
investments. The Company uses some of its U.S. dollar denominated debt to hedge the carrying values of certain equity investments. In addition, the Company uses short and long-term foreign exchange forward contracts to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated receivables, payables and long-term debt.
The Canadian dollar carrying values of the Company's equity investments and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars at June 30, 2008 are summarized below.
(millions of Canadian dollars) |
Assets/(Liabilities | ) | |
Net Working Capital | (729.3 | ) | |
Equity Investments | 918.0 | ||
Long-Term Debt | (1,551.8 | ) | |
The earnings impact of a $0.05 change to exchange rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, would have been $2.8 million and $5.4 million respectively. A similar change would have impacted after-tax other compensation income (OCI) by $5.0 million.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations in the form of cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk. Cash flows are impacted by changes in market interest rates on variable rate debt (primarily commercial paper). The fair value of fixed rate long-term debt is also impacted by changes in market interest rates. Floating to fixed interest rate swaps, collars and forward rate agreements are used to mitigate cash flow volatility due to future interest rate movements on existing debt instruments. The Company is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on fluctuations in market interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate debt issuances. The Company may enter into interest rate derivatives such as bond forwards and treasury locks to fix a portion of the interest payments of these future debt issuances.
The Company monitors its fixed and variable rate debt instruments, targeting a debt portfolio mix of up to 25% floating rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding, within its policy limit band. Fixed to floating swaps are also used from time to time to manage this position and optimize the Company's debt portfolio. The Company does not typically manage the fair value risk of its debt instruments.
Based on variable rate debt issuances through the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, a 1.0% change in interest rates would have had a $2.8 million and $6.3 million impact on earnings after hedging gains and losses are considered. A similar change in interest rates would have had a $7.0 million impact on after-tax OCI during the quarter.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk of earnings fluctuations due to changes in the Company's share price. The Company has exposure to its own common share price through the issuance of various forms of stock based compensation, which effect earnings through revaluation of the outstanding units every period. During the period, the Company has mitigated the earnings volatility derived from one form of stock based compensation, Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), by entering into a series of derivatives Total Return Forwards. More information on the RSUs is available in the Company's most recent Annual Report.
The Total Return Forwards reduce earnings volatility by creating a gain (loss) when the Company's share price increases (decreases) to offset a higher (lower) compensation expense. The Company uses hedge accounting to match the revaluation of the Total Return Forwards with the recognition of the expense due to revaluation of the RSUs. The impact on OCI of a $4 change in the Company's share price due to revaluation of the Total Return Forwards would have been $2.8 million. Since earnings recognition of the Total Return Forwards is matched to the recognition of the RSUs, the sensitivity of earnings to the revaluation of Total Return Forwards is insignificant.

The Company has also designated a US$300 million medium-term note and US$241 million of commercial paper as hedges of certain U.S. dollar investments.
Fair Value Hedges
As at June 30, 2008, the Company did not have any outstanding fair value hedges.
Unrealized Gains and Losses on Non-Hedging Derivatives
The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes; however, if a derivative instrument is not an effective hedge for accounting purposes or is not designated as a hedging item, changes in the fair value are recorded in current period earnings. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company had after tax unrealized losses of $37.9 million (2007 $3.7 million loss) and $16.5 million (2007 $10.8 million loss) related to non-hedging derivatives. Realized losses on these instruments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 were $11.1 million (2007 $5.4 million) and $25.3 million (2007 $11.2 million) after tax.
The Company's regulated Liquids Pipelines segment uses a fixed price contract and related financial instrument to manage the mix of fixed and floating power costs. The Company recognizes the fair value of the fixed price contract, the fair value of the financial instrument and a regulatory liability that will be recognized over the life of the fixed price contract. At June 30, 2008, the Company recognized a liability of $7.3 million for unrealized financial instrument losses, an asset of $34.0 million related to the fixed price power contract and a regulatory liability of $26.7 million.

The fair value of financial instruments reflects the Company's best estimates of market value based on generally accepted valuation techniques or models and supported by observable market prices and rates. When such prices are not available, the Company uses discounted cash flow analysis from applicable yield curves based on observable market inputs. The fair value of financial instruments, other than derivatives, represents the amounts that would have been received from or paid to counterparties to settle these instruments at the reporting date.
ENBRIDGE INC. - 2ND QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 11
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturities.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments of similar yield and tenure.
The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their cost, due to either the short period to maturity or lack of an actively quoted market. Changes in the fair value of financial liabilities are due solely to fluctuations in interest rates, currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, as well as time value.
LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. In order to manage this risk, the Company forecasts the cash requirements over the near and long term to determine whether sufficient funds will be available. The Company's primary source of liquidity and capital resources are funds generated from operations, short-term financing through the issuance of short-term commercial paper and longer term debt which includes debentures and medium-term notes. The Company can more quickly access either the Canadian or U.S. public capital markets by maintaining current shelf prospectuses with the securities regulators. In addition, the Company maintains sufficient liquidity through committed credit facilities with its banking groups which would enable the Company to fund all anticipated requirements for one year without accessing the capital markets. The Company expects to generate sufficient cash from operations and debt issuances to fund liabilities as they become due, finance planned investing activity and pay common share dividends throughout the year. Additional liquidity, if necessary, is available under committed credit facilities or through access to the capital markets.
MATURITIES OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Company generally has no financial liabilities maturing beyond one year with the exception of its long-term debt. The following tables summarize expected cash outflows to settle both the principal and the interest payments associated with the debt.

CREDIT RISK
Entering into derivative financial instruments can give rise to credit risk. Credit risk arises from the possibility that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations and is limited to those contracts where the Company would incur a loss in replacing the instrument. The Company enters into risk management transactions only with institutions that possess investment grade credit ratings. Credit risk
12 - 2ND QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ENBRIDGE INC.
relating to derivative counterparties is mitigated by credit exposure limits, contractual and collateral requirements and netting arrangements. The Company has credit risk of $417.8 million related to its derivative counterparties.
Credit risk also arises from trade receivables, which is mitigated by credit exposure limits, contractual and collateral requirements and netting arrangements. Credit risk in the Gas Distribution and Services segment is mitigated by the large and diversified customer base and the ability to recover an estimate for doubtful accounts through the ratemaking process. Generally, the Company classifies receivables older than 30 days as past due.
The maximum exposure to credit risk related to non-derivative financial assets is their carrying value, as disclosed in the financial instruments summary table above.
5. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company has three basic pension plans, which provide either defined benefit or defined contribution pension benefits, or both, to employees of the Company. The Liquids Pipelines and Gas Distribution and Services pension plans provide Company funded defined benefit pension and/or defined contribution benefits to Canadian employees of Enbridge. The Enbridge U.S. pension plan provides Company funded defined benefit pension benefits for U.S. based employees. The Company has four supplemental pension plans which provide pension benefits in excess of the basic plans for certain employees. The Company also provides post-employment benefits other than pensions (OPEB) for qualifying retired employees. Costs related to the period are presented below.

The table reflects the pension and OPEB cost for all of the Company's benefit plans on an accrual basis. Using the cash basis for Gas Distribution and Services rate regulated plans and the accrual method for other plans, the Company's pension and OPEB cost was $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 (2007 $7.9 million) and $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 (2007 $15.4 million).
6. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES
The Company defines capital as shareholders' equity (excluding AOCI and reciprocal shareholdings), long-term debt (excluding non-recourse debt and transaction costs), short-term borrowings and non-controlling interests less cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash and cash equivalents from joint ventures and other interests not exclusively controlled by the Company). Non-recourse debt, including debt consolidated proportionately from joint venture interests, is excluded from the Company's definition of capital as it is not controlled or managed exclusively by the Company.

The Company's capital is calculated as follows:
(millions of Canadian dollars) |
June 30, 2008 |
December 31, 2007 |
|||
Short-term borrowings | 72.7 | 545.6 | |||
Long-term debt (includes current portion) | 8,135.9 | 8,393.9 | |||
Non-controlling interests | 656.7 | 650.5 | |||
Shareholders' equity | 6,496.8 | 5,714.5 | |||
Cash and cash equivalents | (249.8 | ) | (115.9 | ) | |
15,112.3 | 15,188.6 | ||||
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to maintain flexibility among:
These objectives are primarily met through maintenance of an investment grade credit rating, which provides access to lower cost capital. Capital is available generally through the issuance of both short and long-term debt, and equity.
The Company monitors and manages its debt to debt plus equity ratio (excluding non-recourse debt), with a target range of 60% to 70%, to meet its capital management objectives. The debt to capitalization ratio at June 30, 2008, including short-term borrowings but excluding non-recourse short and long-term debt, was 57.4%, compared with 62.7% at the end of 2007.
The Company must adhere to covenants in its credit facilities that are used to backstop its commercial paper program. These covenants include maintaining a minimum Consolidated Shareholders' Equity balance of $1 billion or greater and a debt to Unconsolidated Shareholders' Equity of less than 1.5. As at June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Under terms of the Company's Trust Indenture, in order to continue to issue long-term debt, the Company must maintain a ratio of Consolidated Funded Obligations (essentially all debt except non-recourse debt) to Total Consolidated Capitalization of less than 75%. Total Consolidated Capitalization consists of shareholders' equity, long-term debt, non-controlling interests and future income tax. As at June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has signed contracts for the purchase of services, pipe and other materials totaling $1,837.6 million, to be used in the construction of several Liquids Pipelines projects including Southern Lights Pipeline, Alberta Clipper Project, Southern Access Expansion, Hardisty Terminal, Fort Hills Pipeline and Line 4 Extension.
ENBRIDGE ENERGY COMPANY, INC.
Enbridge Energy Company, Inc. (EEC), a subsidiary of the Company and the general partner of EEP, is the former owner of Enbridge Midcoast Energy Inc. (Midcoast). The IRS challenged Midcoast's tax treatment of its 1999 acquisition of several partnerships that owned a natural gas pipeline system in Kansas (these assets were sold to EEP in 2002 and subsequently sold by EEP in 2007). In March 2008, an unfavourable court decision was received sustaining the IRS position, decreasing the U.S. tax basis for the pipeline assets. Enbridge's earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2008 reflected a decrease of $32.2 million in consideration of the adverse court decision which, when combined with amounts previously recorded, provides fully for the liability. Given loss carryforwards in EEC prior to the decision, the cash tax impact of the decision was not significant. Enbridge continues to believe the tax treatment of the acquisition and the

related tax deductions claimed were appropriate and is appealing the decision. A final decision on this matter is not expected before 2009.
CAPLA CLAIM
In 2002, the Canadian Alliance of Pipeline Landowners' Associations (CAPLA) and two individual landowners commenced a class action against the Company and TransCanada PipeLines Limited. The claim relates to restrictions in the National Energy Board Act on crossing the pipeline and the landowners' use of land within a 30-metre control zone on either side of the pipeline easements. The Plaintiffs filed a motion to establish a cause of action which is one of the requirements to have the motion certified as a class action under the Class Proceedings Act (Ontario). The motion was dismissed by the Ontario District Court in late 2006. The Plantiff appealed the decision, the appeal was heard by the Ontario Court of Appeal on December 18, 2007 and, in its judgment issued April 4, 2008, the Court dismissed CAPLA's appeal. CAPLA did not appeal this matter to the Supreme Court of Canada and is now time-barred from doing so. As a result, the CAPLA litigation has concluded.

The different accounting treatment affects only display and classification and not earnings or shareholders' equity.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in the context of GAAP and expands the disclosure surrounding fair value measurement. In January 2008, the FASB deferred the implementation of this standard indefinitely for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. For financial assets and liabilities, the Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2008.
Fair Value Option for Assets and Liabilities
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities. This standard provides companies with an option to measure, at specified election dates, certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2008, but has not elected to measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value in accordance with the Statement.
