BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Inc. (Enbridge or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which management considers necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as at June 30, 2013 and results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012, except for the adoption of new standards (Note 3). Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. The Company’s operations and earnings for interim periods can be affected by seasonal fluctuations within the gas distribution utility business, as well as other factors such as the supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas.
