Significant items that have impacted quarterly financial information are as follows:
Second quarter earnings in 2006 reflect future income tax recoveries of $16.7 million due to the substantive enactment of reductions in future tax rates during the quarter.
Quarterly revenue and earnings in 2005 and 2006 have increased relative to prior quarters due to the collection of an income tax allowance in the tolls of Alliance Canada.
Increases in distributions of 1% and 4.5% on the Fund’s ordinary and subordinated units and the ECT preferred units were approved by the Board of Trustees effective with the distributions payable to holders of record on January 31, 2006, and November 30, 2006, respectively.
