(In thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
(a)
Consolidated statements of earnings (continued):
(i)
Swap revenue:
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company was using hedge accounting for certain derivative instruments. The gain realized on cancellation of a cross-currency interest rate swap arrangement was deferred, and was being amortized over the term of the related debt. Under United States GAAP, the Company had not designated the derivative instrument in a hedging relationship and, consequently, upon cancellation of the instrument, the Company recognized the gain immediately into earnings.
(ii)
Start-up costs:
Costs incurred during the start-up period for new manufacturing and distribution facilities are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over two years. United States GAAP requires such costs to be expensed as incurred. The adjustment to net earnings in accordance with United States GAAP includes the write-off of current year's start-up costs, and the reversal of the current year's amortization of start-up costs deferred under Canadian GAAP.
(b)
Consolidated statements of cash flows:

(e)
Accounting changes in 2008:
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied upon initial adoption, with the cumulative effect adjustment reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company adopted this interpretation on October 1, 2007 and this adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
