(1) Non-GAAP Measures

References to "EBITDA" are to earnings before interest and foreign exchange,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization and references to "distributable
cash" are to cash available for distribution to Unitholders in accordance with
the distribution policies of the Fund. EBITDA is calculated as Net Earnings
(loss) plus non-controlling interest, plus future income tax expense, plus
impairment of goodwill, plus impairment of intangible assets, plus interest on
term, subordinated and operating loans, plus amortization of intangible assets
and amortization of property and equipment. Management believes that, in
addition to income or loss, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure of
performance and cash available for distribution before debt service, changes in
working capital, capital expenditures and income taxes. Distributable cash of
the Fund is a measure generally used by open- ended trusts as an indicator of
financial performance. As one of the factors that may be considered relevant by
prospective investors is the cash distributed by the Fund relative to the price
of the Units, management believes that distributable cash of the Fund is a
useful supplemental measure that may assist prospective investors in assessing
an investment in the Fund.


Earnings from operations have been derived by adding interest, amortization of
property and equipment and intangible assets, future income taxes, impairment of
goodwill and intangible assets, foreign exchange gain or loss, unit-based
compensation and non-controlling interest to net earnings for the period. 


EBITDA, distributable cash, earnings from operations and payout ratio are not
earnings measures recognized by GAAP and do not have standardized meanings
prescribed by GAAP. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA, distributable cash and
earnings from operations should not replace net income or loss (as determined in
accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Fund's performance, of its cash
flows from operating, investing and financing activities or as a measure of its
liquidity and cash flows. The Fund's methods of calculating EBITDA,
distributable cash, earnings from operations and payout may differ from the
methods used by other issuers and may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other issuers.
