Total assets and total long-term liabilities increased from 2005 to 2006 because of ongoing investments in core businesses and a $280 million investment in EEP, increasing the Company’s interest from 10.9% to 16.6%.
Total assets and total long-term liabilities increased from 2004 to 2005 primarily because the Company began consolidating its 41.9% investment in EIF. This change was due to the adoption of Accounting Guideline 15, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (AcG-15). Under AcG-15, EIF is considered a variable interest entity and Enbridge is the primary beneficiary through a combination of a 41.9% equity interest and a preferred unit investment that has no voting rights, a stated par value and a 30-year maturity. |
