Recognition (see Schedule &#147;A&#148; for excerpts of this Bulletin applicable to
license fee revenue, non-refundable upfront fees and recognition of service
revenue).&#160; This amortization results in revenue
of approximately Cdn $17 million per year (or approximately 0.1% of 2005
operating revenue). &#160;Given this contract
represents such a small percentage of revenue, it does not merit reference

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;In an arrangement with multiple deliverables, the
delivered item (or items) should be considered a separate unit of accounting if
all of the following criteria are met:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(a)&#160; The
delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. That item has
value on a stand-alone basis if it is sold separately by any vendor or the
customer could resell the delivered item on a stand-alone basis. In the context
of a customer&#146;s ability to resell the delivered item, the Committee observed
that this criterion does not require the existence of an observable market for
that deliverable.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(b) There is objective and reliable evidence of the
fair value of the undelivered item (or items).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(c) If the arrangement includes a general right of
return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the
undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the
vendor.&#148;</font></p>

estimable if (a) it is evident that the fair value of the obligation is
embodied in the acquisition price of the asset, (b) an active market exists for
the transfer of the obligation, or (c) sufficient information exists to apply
an expected present value technique.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Paragraph
5:</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;An entity would have sufficient information to apply
an expected present value technique and therefore an asset retirement
obligation would be reasonably estimable if either of the following conditions
exists:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;The settlement date and method of

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">b.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;The information is available to
reasonably estimate (1) the settlement date or the range of potential
settlement dates, (2) the method of settlement or potential methods of
settlement, and (3) the probabilities associated with the potential settlement
dates and potential methods of settlement. Examples of information that is
expected to provide a basis for estimating the potential settlement dates,
potential methods of settlement, and the associated probabilities include, but
are not limited to, information that is derived from the entity&#146;s past
practice, industry practice, management&#146;s intent, or the asset&#146;s estimated
economic life.&#160; In many cases, the
determination as to whether the entity has the information to reasonably
estimate the fair value of the asset retirement obligation is a matter of
judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 18.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;The estimated economic life of the asset might
indicate a potential settlement date for the asset retirement obligation.&nbsp;
However, the original estimated economic life of the asset may not, in and of
itself, establish that date because the entity may intend to make improvements
to the asset that could extend the life of the asset or the entity could defer
settlement of the obligation beyond the economic life of the asset.&nbsp; In
those situations, the entity would look beyond the economic life of the asset
in determining the settlement date or range of potential settlement dates to
use when estimating the fair value of the asset retirement obligation.&#148;</font></p>
