| Enbridge System earnings were slightly lower than the prior year due to the impact of a strong labour market on compensation expense as well as increased taxes in the Terrace component. | |
| Olympic Pipeline was acquired on February 1, 2006. Earnings for 2007 reflected a full three months of operations as well as increased revenue due to toll increases and lower operating costs due to timing. | |
| Spearhead Pipeline earnings reflected a full three months of operations in 2007. The prior year included only one month of earnings as Spearhead Pipeline commenced operations in early March 2006. |

| EOPs 2007 earnings included $5.3 million related to insurance proceeds for the replacement of damaged infrastructure resulting from the 2005 hurricanes. EOP earnings also included insurance proceeds of $6.0 million from business interruption policies, which were not adjusted in the Companys calculation of adjusted operating earnings because the related lost earnings were reflected in prior period earnings. The final claim settlement is expected in late 2007 or early 2008. |

| EEPs 2007 earnings included $2.0 million (net to Enbridge) of unrealized fair value losses on derivative financial instruments compared with unrealized fair value gains of $2.7 million in 2006. | |
| EEPs 2007 adjusted operating earnings of $10.2 million (2006 $8.2 million) reflected an increased ownership interest as well as gains from gas storage and lower operating costs on the Lakehead System, which were slightly offset by lower gas processing margins and increased gas measurement losses. EEP issued Class C units on April 2, 2007, reducing Enbridges ownership interest from 16.6% to 15.7%. |

| EGDs earnings improved from the prior year primarily due to the impact of colder weather. In 2006, weather was significantly warmer than normal, resulting in lower earnings, whereas in 2007, weather was slightly colder than normal. Earnings also increased because of customer growth and higher storage and transportation capacity transaction revenues. | |
| CustomerWorks/ECS earnings decreased because, pursuant to an OEB recommendation, CustomerWorks transitioned customer care services related to EGD to a third party service provider in the quarter. | |
| Energy Services earnings in 2007 reflected $4.3 million of unrealized fair value losses on derivative instruments. These losses were more than offset by improved earnings from Tidal Energy, which resulted from increased optimization of Enbridge assets, improved market fundamentals for crude oil and increased transportation and storage volumes. Energy Services includes Gas Services and Tidal Energy, which was previously included in Other. | |
| Aux Sable earnings reflected unrealized fair value losses on derivative financial instruments of $2.8 million. These financial instruments are used to mitigate the uncertainty of the Companys share of the contingent upside sharing mechanism, which allows Aux Sable to share in natural gas processing margins in excess of certain thresholds. |

1. | Liquids Pipelines operating highlights include the statistics of the 16.6% owned Lakehead System and other wholly-owned liquid pipeline operations, excluding the Spearhead Pipeline and Athabasca Pipeline. | |
2. | Gas Distribution and Services volumes and the number of active customers are derived from the aggregate system supply and direct purchase gas supply arrangements. | |
3. | Degree-day deficiency is a measure of coldness which is indicative of volumetric requirements of natural gas utilized for heating purposes. It is calculated by accumulating for each day in the period the total number of degrees each day by which the daily mean temperature falls below 18 degrees Celsius. The figures given are those accumulated in the Greater Toronto Area. |

1 | Quarterly Financial Information has been extracted from financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. |
| First quarter 2007 included higher earnings from EGD due to colder weather than the prior year period and the receipt of 2005 hurricane insurance proceeds. | ||
| Fourth quarter earnings in 2006 reflected higher earnings from the Enbridge System and Aux Sable, offset by lower earnings from EGD due primarily to warmer weather than normal and higher costs. | ||
| Third quarter earnings in 2006 reflected higher earnings from Enbridge System, increased earnings from the Companys investment in EEP and the initial recognition of upside sharing in Aux Sable. | ||
| Second quarter earnings in 2006 included the impact of tax rate reductions, which increased consolidated earnings by $48.9 million. Revenues in the second quarter of 2006 were higher due to higher commodity prices and were offset by higher commodity costs. | ||
| First quarter earnings in 2006 reflected increased earnings in the Enbridge System more than offset by lower results from EGD, due primarily to warmer than normal weather. Revenues in the first quarter of 2006 were higher due to higher commodity prices and were offset by higher commodity costs. | ||
| Fourth quarter earnings in 2005 included a gain of $7.6 million on the sale of land in CLH and a dilution gain of $4.3 million in EEP. | ||
| Third quarter earnings in 2005 were negatively impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and by non-cash losses on the fair value of derivatives in EEP. |

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 statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Enbridge Inc.s 2006 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 Companys financial statements are described in Note 5. These interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as those included in the 2006 Annual Report, except as described in Note 1. | ||
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 years presentation. | ||
1. | CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Financial Instruments, Comprehensive Income and Hedging Relationships | ||
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted new accounting standards for Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation, Comprehensive Income, and Hedges. These policies were adopted prospectively and accordingly, the prior periods were not restated, however unrealized gains and losses related to the Companys foreign currency translation adjustments and net investment hedges are now included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income or Loss (AOCI). | ||
The adoption of the new standards did not impact the Companys earnings or cash flows. | ||
Financial Instruments | ||
Measurement and Presentation - The new standards require that all financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value, except loans and receivables and certain instruments held to maturity. Loans and receivables and certain instruments that are held to maturity are measured at amortized cost. For instruments measured at fair value, unrealized changes in fair value are recognized in earnings, unless the instrument is an available for sale asset or is designated and an effective cash flow hedging instrument, in which case the unrealized changes are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income. | ||
With the exception of recognizing derivative instruments, including hedge instruments, at fair value, the Company has not changed the valuation of other financial instruments. | ||
The Company utilizes fixed price forward physical commodity contracts to manage exposure to changes in commodity prices. Certain of the Companys fixed price contracts are deemed derivative instruments and therefore recognized at fair value. Unrealized fair value changes related to these instruments are recorded in current earnings. | ||
The Companys Energy Services businesses recognized unrealized losses of $4.3 million (after tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 related to fixed price commodity purchases and sales. | ||
The Companys regulated liquids pipeline segment utilizes a fixed price contract and related financial instrument to manage the mix of fixed and floating commodity 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. |
- 5 -
As a result of the new standards for derivative instruments, on January 1, 2007, the Company recognized a liability of $5.8 million for unrealized financial instrument losses, an asset of $29.0 million related to the fixed price commodity contracts and a regulatory liability of $23.2 million. | ||
At March 31, 2007, the Company recognized a liability of $6.5 million for unrealized financial instrument losses, an asset of $30.7 million related to the fixed price commodity contract and a regulatory liability of $24.2 million. | ||
Transaction Costs On January 1, 2007 the Company reclassified unamortized deferred financing fees of $52.7 million from deferred amounts and other assets to long-term debt as a result of adopting the new standards. The reclassification of debt issue costs has no impact on earnings. Financing fees are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the related debt instrument. | ||
Comprehensive Income | ||
The new standards also require the Company to present a Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income which consists of earnings, the effective portion of changes in unrealized gains and losses related to cash flow hedges, unrealized gains and losses of available for sale assets, and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses related to self sustaining foreign investments and the net investment hedges of those foreign investments. The cumulative changes in Comprehensive Income are recorded in AOCI, a separate component of shareholders equity. AOCI also includes the Companys share of the AOCI of equity investees. Unrealized gains and losses included in AOCI are reclassified to earnings when they become realized in accordance with hedge accounting standards or in the case of available for sale assets when they are sold. | ||
Hedges | ||
The Company utilizes derivatives and non-derivative instruments to manage changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Hedge accounting continues to be optional, it requires that the Company document the hedging relationship and test the hedging items effectiveness in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the underlying hedged item on an ongoing basis. The Company presents the earnings and cash flow effects of hedging items with the hedged transaction. | ||
Cash Flow Hedges The Company utilizes cash flow hedges to manage changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the cash flow hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged item impacts earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in current period earnings. | ||
For the Companys regulated gas distribution businesses, a portion of the gas purchases are hedged using cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are deferred as an asset or liability until they are settled offset by an asset or liability on behalf of ratepayers. Upon settlement, the recognized gain or loss is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability and refunded to or collected from ratepayers in subsequent periods. The Company recognized a liability of $26.6 million for unrealized losses related to gas purchase hedges for regulated gas distribution businesses at January 1, 2007, and a regulatory receivable of $26.6 million. | ||
As a result of the new standards for cash flow hedges the Company recognized a net asset of $79.4 million for unrealized net gains related to interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity hedges at January 1, 2007. The Company reduced deferred amounts by $66.1 million and retained earnings (pre-tax) for historical fair value adjustments related to certain cash flow hedges. | ||
If a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge ceases to be effective or is terminated, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss at that date is deferred and recognized concurrently with the related transaction. If the anticipated transaction is no longer probable, the gain or |

loss is recognized immediately in earnings. Subsequent gains and losses from ineffective derivative instruments are recognized in earnings in the period they occur. During the period, the Company terminated interest rate forwards resulting in the recognition of a $1.0 million (after tax) gain. | ||
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 documented as a hedging item, changes in the fair value are recorded in current period earnings. The Company recognized unrealized mark to market derivative losses of $2.8 million (after tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 related to non-qualifying instruments. | ||
At March 31, 2007, the Company has a net asset of $107.8 million for unrealized fair value of cash flow hedges. Cash flow hedges expire over periods ranging from less than one year to 22 years. The Company estimates that $6.0 million (after tax) of the AOCI will be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months. | ||
Fair Value Hedges The Company may utilize fair value hedges to hedge the value debt instruments or commodity positions. The change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in earnings with changes in fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is designated as part of the hedging relationship. | ||
If a fair value hedge is discontinued or ceases to be effective, the hedged fixed rate asset or liability ceases to be remeasured to fair value, and the fair value adjustment is recognized in earnings over the remaining life of the hedged item. If the hedged item is settled, any remaining fair value adjustment is recognized immediately in earnings. As at March 31, 2007, the Company did not have any outstanding fair value hedge. | ||
Net Investment Hedges The Company utilizes net investment hedges to manage the carrying values of U.S. Dollar and Euro denominated foreign investments. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income. Any ineffectiveness is recorded in current period earnings. Amounts recognized in AOCI are recognized in earnings when there is reduction of the hedged net investment resulting from dividend distributions, ownership dilutions or a sale of ownership interests. | ||
At March 31, 2007, the Company recognized a net asset of $381.3 million related to net investment hedges. Net investment hedges expire over periods ranging from less than one year to 15 years. | ||
The adoption of the new standards resulted in the following adjustments at January 1, 2007: |

1. | Stock-based Compensation | |
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard 123 Revised 2004 (FAS 123R), Share Based Payment, on a modified prospective basis for U.S. GAAP purposes. FAS 123R requires the use of the fair value method to measure compensation expense for options and performance stock units issued after January 1, 2006 as well as for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been performed that are outstanding as of January 1, 2006. The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of the former FAS 123, Share Based Payment, effective January 1, 2003, resulting in the recognition of stock based compensation expense using the fair value method for fixed stock options issued subsequent to that date. | ||
All Canadian U.S. GAAP earnings differences have now been resolved with respect to stock based compensation, except that equity charges resulting from stock based compensation are recorded in additional paid in capital for U.S. GAAP purposes and contributed surplus for Canadian GAAP purposes. |
- 11 -
2. | Future Income Taxes | |
Under U.S. GAAP deferred income tax liabilities are recorded for rate-regulated operations, which follow the taxes payable method for ratemaking purposes. As these deferred income taxes are expected to be recoverable in future revenues, a corresponding regulatory asset is also recorded. These assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in enacted income tax rates. A deferred tax liability of $648.1 million (2006 $648.7 million) is recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes and reflects the difference between the carrying value and the tax basis of property, plant and equipment. Regulated companies following the taxes payable method are not required to record this additional tax liability under Canadian GAAP. To recover the additional deferred income taxes recorded under U.S. GAAP through the ratemaking process, it would be necessary to record incremental revenue of $939.5 million (2006 $926.7 million). | ||
3. | Accounting for Joint Ventures | |
U.S. GAAP requires the Companys investments in joint ventures to be accounted for using the equity method. However, under an accommodation of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, accounting for jointly controlled investments need not be reconciled from Canadian to U.S. GAAP if the joint venture is jointly controlled by all parties having an equity interest in the entity. Joint ventures in which all owners do not share joint control are reconciled to U.S. GAAP. The different accounting treatment affects only display and classification and not earnings or shareholders equity. | ||
4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss | ||
At March 31, 2007, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of $175.0 million (2006 $159.2 million) consists of the cumulative translation adjustment and net investment hedges of $164.5 million (2006 $113.6 million), net unrealized gains of $60.3 million (2006 $26.0 million) on cash flow hedges, and an underfunded pension status of $70.8 million (2006 $71.6 million). As of January 1, 2007, the cumulative translation adjustment and unrealized gains or losses on cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss under Canadian GAAP. As a result, the only Canadian U.S. GAAP difference in accumulated other comprehensive loss is the underfunded status of the pension and OPEB plans. The Company estimates that approximately $2.8 million, related to pension and OPEB plans, at March 31, 2007, will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months, in addition to $6.0 million for cash flow hedges. | ||
Financial instruments are now recognized in Canadian GAAP in the same manner as U.S. GAAP, eliminating any future Canadian U.S. GAAP differences related to derivatives and hedges for the Company. As a result of the Canadian adoption certain comparative balances have been re-classified for U.S. GAAP purposes, including the recognition of regulated non-financial instruments and offsetting regulatory liabilities as well as OCI from equity investees. In addition, transaction costs arising from the issuance of debt are now recorded net against the related long-term debt. For U.S. GAAP these transaction costs are reclassified to deferred amounts and other assets. | ||
5. | Pension Funding Status | |
The Company has adopted FAS 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, effective December 31, 2006. FAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan or OPEB as an asset or liability and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which they occur through comprehensive income. FAS 158 adjustments result in the Company recognizing a net liability of $109.0 million (2006 $110.1 million) for the underfunded status of the plans, a deferred tax asset of $38.2 million (2006 $38.5 million) and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $70.8 million (2006 -$71.6 million). As required by FAS 158, the Company will change the measurement date of its defined benefit pension plan from September 30, to December 31, effective the year ended December 31, 2008. | ||
6. | Consolidation of a Limited Partnership | |
In June 2005, the U.S. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF issue 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (EITF 04-5), addressing when a general partner, or general partners as a group, control and should therefore consolidate a limited partnership. Under EITF 04-5, a sole general partner is presumed to control a limited partnership when certain conditions are met. | ||
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted, without restatement of prior periods, EITF 04-5. As a result of adopting EITF 04-5, the Company is consolidating its 16.6% interest in Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP) for U.S. GAAP purposes, resulting in an increase to both assets and liabilities of $5,231.3 million (2006 $5,084.8) and no changes to equity and earnings. | ||
7. | Uncertain Tax Positions | |
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 addresses the threshold for recognizing a tax position in the financial statements. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
