Notes:
(1) | Earnings coverage is equal to income (before foreign exchange on long-term debt) before net interest expense and income tax expense divided by net interest expense on all debt. | |
(2) | Earnings coverage is equal to income (after foreign exchange on long-term debt) before net interest expense and income tax expense divided by net interest expense on all debt. | |
(3) | The earnings coverage ratios have been calculated excluding carrying charges for the $31.0 million in long-term debt maturing within one year reflected as current liabilities in CPRL’s consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2007. If such long-term debt maturing within one year had been classified in their entirety as long-term debt for purposes of calculating earnings coverage ratios, the entire amount of the annual carrying charges for such long-term debt maturing within one year would have been reflected in the calculation of CPRL’s earnings coverage ratios. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007, earnings coverage on long-term debt before foreign exchange on long-term debt and after foreign exchange on long-term debt would have been 5.5 and 6.3, respectively. |
