<P><FONT size="2">In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of
an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is a
change in accounting principles that has a material effect on the comparability
of the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements, such as the changes
described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements and note (d)&nbsp;of
the supplemental information &#147;Reconciliation With United States Generally

shareholders each dated March&nbsp;1, 2002 are expressed
in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a
reference to such changes in accounting principles in the auditors&#146; report when
the changes are properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the

fair value and establishes new accounting requirements for different types
of hedging activities; fair value or cash flow. Cash flow hedges are
hedges of the variability of cash flows and fair value hedges are hedges of
changes in fair value. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the
gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported initially as a
component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into
earnings when the forecasted transaction occurs. For fair value hedges, at
each balance sheet date the effective portion of the gain or loss on the
derivative instrument is recognized in net income together with the
corresponding gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the risk
being hedged. Any amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge
effectiveness as well as any ineffective portion of a derivative&#146;s change
in fair value are immediately recognized in net income.</FONT></TD>

accounted for as hedges and others, related to anticipated transactions,
had been marked-to-market through income. Upon adoption of FAS 133, all
derivative instruments were recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.
The difference between a derivative&#146;s carrying amount prior to the adoption
of FAS 133 and its fair value at the date of adoption is reported as a
cumulative effect of accounting change either in net income or other
comprehensive income. For instruments previously identified as fair value
hedges, the cumulative effect of accounting change is reported through net
income. For instruments previously accounted for as cash flow hedges, the
cumulative effect of accounting change is reported through other
comprehensive income.</FONT></TD>

Board Opinion 25 to its accounting for stock compensation to employees.
Under APB 25, compensation is measured based on the intrinsic value method.
Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is recorded for the
excess on the measurement date of the market price of the stock over the
exercise price of the stock option. The measurement date is the first date
on which both the number of shares the employee is entitled to receive and
the exercise price are known. If the measurement date is later than the
date of grant then the plan is termed a variable plan and compensation
expense is measured as the amount by which the quoted market price of the
Company&#146;s common shares exceeds the exercise price of the stock option at
each reporting date until the measurement date. Compensation expense is
recognized ratably over the vesting period.</FONT></TD>
