NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge reports first half earnings of $348.8 million
Highlights
    Adjusted operating earnings for the second quarter increase 24% to $118.7 million
 
    Adjusted operating earnings for the first half increase 9% to $328.2 million
 
    US$920 million Southern Lights diluent pipeline receives commitments exceeding the planned capacity
 
    US$350 million Southern Access Extension Project receives shipper support
 
    $250 million contract storage terminal to be constructed at Hardisty, Alberta
CALGARY, Alberta, August 2, 2006 — “Our financial results are again very strong, with second quarter adjusted operating earnings per share increasing markedly, which leaves us well positioned to meet our previously stated objectives for the year,” said Patrick D. Daniel, President & Chief Executive Officer of Enbridge Inc. “Over the last few years we have announced a large number of projects that respond to increasingly strong industry fundamentals. These projects span an array of oil and gas transportation and storage opportunities and are in various stages of development.”
Mr. Daniel added, “Most notably, Enbridge continues to develop new crude oil market access pipelines including our Gateway, Alberta Clipper and Southern Access projects as well as a variety of alternatives to move Canadian oil sands crude oil to the Gulf of Mexico. These initiatives and projects will ensure that our customers have sufficient access to the right markets at the right time. This robust slate of projects provides us with significant growth opportunities in our existing lines of business, where we have historically been very successful, and will enable us to generate superior returns to shareholders.”
On August 1, 2006, the Enbridge Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.2875 per common share and $0.34375 per Series A Preferred Share. Both dividends are payable on September 1, 2006 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2006.
The Board of Directors also announced that it had accepted, with regret, the resignation of William R. Fatt, a Director since 2000, due to increasing commitments associated with Mr. Fatt’s role as Chief Financial Officer of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $348.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, or $1.03 per share, compared with $314.2 million or $0.93 per share in 2005. The $34.6 million increase in earnings was attributed to strong performance from the Enbridge crude oil mainline system and $48.9 million from the revaluation of future income tax balances due to tax rate reductions. These positive factors were partially offset by a lower contribution from the gas distribution utility, as weather in the Ontario market area was significantly warmer than normal.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $157.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, or $0.47 per share, compared with $93.6 million, or $0.27 per share in 2005. The $64.3 million increase in earnings reflected similar factors as those identified in the six month analysis except the weather impact at the gas distribution utility was less significant as the second quarter is seasonally a quarter in which lower volumes are distributed.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release contains references to adjusted operating earnings, which represent earnings applicable to common shareholders adjusted for non-operating factors. This is not a measure that has a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is not considered a GAAP measure. Therefore, this measure may not be comparable with a similar measure presented by other issuers. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted operating earnings provides useful information to investors and shareholders as it provides increased predictive value and performance trends.

Significant operating factors affecting consolidated earnings in 2006 included the following:
  Enbridge crude oil mainline system earnings were higher primarily due to lower oil losses, higher earnings from Terrace and the Incentive Tolling Settlement (ITS).
  Enbridge Energy Partners earnings have increased significantly with higher crude oil throughput, strong margins and increased volumes in the natural gas gathering and processing businesses.
  Corporate costs increased as certain floating interest rate financings were replaced with longer term fixed rate debt.
The Company has foreign currency denominated earnings, primarily from U.S. based operations and investments, as well as its Euro investment in CLH. The Company uses long-term derivative contracts to economically hedge a significant portion of the cash distributions from these long-term investments. However, this does not eliminate the GAAP earnings volatility caused by exchange rate differences. During the first half of 2006, the Company received foreign currency denominated cash distributions and settled associated hedge transactions resulting in $9.8 million (2005 — $5.4 million) of incremental cash flows, which were not included in reported earnings.

  The Enbridge System reflected higher earnings from a number of factors including lower oil losses, performance incentives under the ITS and, within Terrace, lower taxes, higher toll revenues and the impact of higher volumes on the surcharge revenue.
  Athabasca System earnings continued to grow as infrastructure additions contributed positively, but were partially offset by higher operating expenses.
  Spearhead Pipeline commenced commercial operations in early March, 2006.
  Olympic Pipeline was acquired effective February 1, 2006.

  Alliance Pipeline US earnings were lower due to the stronger Canadian dollar in the first half of 2006 in comparison with the first half of 2005.
  Vector Pipeline earnings were also impacted by the stronger Canadian dollar and higher operating costs in the second quarter of 2006 due to scheduled integrity inspections required by the regulator within the first six years of operation.
  Enbridge Offshore Pipelines earnings are lower than the prior year; however, volumes returned to pre-hurricane levels during the second quarter of 2006. The stronger Canadian dollar also reduced earnings.

  EEP’s contribution to 2006 results improved significantly, despite the stronger Canadian dollar, and reflected considerably higher liquids throughput on the Lakehead System, higher margins and increased volumes in the natural gas gathering and processing businesses. The first half of 2006 also included $2.4 million (net to Enbridge) of unrealized mark-to-market gains on derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2006).
  EEP issued partnership units in the first quarter of 2005 and because Enbridge did not fully participate in these offerings, dilution gains resulted. There were no unit issuances in the first half of 2006.

  EGD’s distribution volumes and earnings in 2006 were impacted by warmer weather. The weather in Ontario was warmer than normal in 2006 and reduced earnings by $30.7 million ($9.4 million in the second quarter) whereas weather was colder than normal and increased earnings by $1.7 million in the prior year ($2.0 million warmer than normal in the second quarter). EGD earnings were also reduced by a lower regulated rate of return on common equity, partially offset by a higher regulator approved rate base. The timing of operating and maintenance activities also increased earnings in the second quarter of 2006.
  Noverco earnings were higher in the second quarter as the prior year included increased future income tax expense due to adjustments for reciprocal dividends and a significant cash dividend. In addition, the first quarter of the prior year included a $7.3 million dilution gain from a Gaz Metro LP unit issuance in which Noverco did not participate.
  Aux Sable earnings were lower despite positive fractionation margins during the first half of 2006. Aux Sable entered into an output arrangement effective January 1, 2006, that eliminates substantially all negative earnings variability. Aux Sable now receives a fixed annual fee and upside sharing above a certain fractionation margin level. As the upside sharing is an annual measure, earnings in the first half of 2006 reflect only the fixed fee portion of the payment. Any upside sharing will be recorded when earned, in accordance with accounting rules for revenue recognition.

2.   Gas Distribution and Services volumes and the number of active customers are derived from the aggregate system supply and direct purchase gas supply arrangements.
 
3.    Degree-day deficiency is a measure of coldness which is indicative of volumetric requirements of natural gas utilized for heating purposes. It is calculated by accumulating for each day in the period the total number of degrees each day by which the daily mean temperature falls below 18 degrees Celsius. The figures given are those accumulated in the Greater Toronto Area.

Enbridge Inc.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis, dated August 1, 2006 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Inc. as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report.

Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $348.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, or $1.03 per share, compared with $314.2 million or $0.93 per share in 2005. The $34.6 million increase in earnings was attributed to strong performance from the Enbridge crude oil mainline system and $48.9 million from the revaluation of future income tax balances due to tax rate reductions. These positive factors were partially offset by a lower contribution from the gas distribution utility, as weather in the Ontario market area was significantly warmer than normal.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $157.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, or $0.47 per share, compared with $93.6 million, or $0.27 per share in 2005. The $64.3 million increase in earnings reflected similar factors as those identified in the six month analysis except the weather impact at the gas distribution utility is less significant as the second quarter is seasonally a quarter in which lower volumes are distributed.

Significant operating factors affecting consolidated earnings in 2006 included the following:
  Enbridge crude oil mainline system earnings were higher primarily due to lower oil losses, higher earnings from Terrace and the Incentive Tolling Settlement (ITS).
  Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP) earnings have increased significantly with higher crude oil throughput, strong margins and higher volumes in the natural gas gathering and processing businesses.
  Corporate costs increased as certain floating interest rate financings were replaced with longer term fixed rate debt.
The Company has foreign currency denominated earnings, primarily from U.S. based operations and investments, as well as its Euro investment in CLH. The Company uses long-term derivative contracts to economically hedge a significant portion of the cash distributions from these long-term investments. However, this does not eliminate the GAAP earnings volatility caused by exchange rate differences. During the first half of 2006, the Company received foreign currency denominated cash distributions and settled associated hedge transactions resulting in $9.8 million (2005 — $5.4 million) of incremental cash flows, which was not included in reported earnings.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Liquids Pipelines — Progress on Organic Growth Projects
The Liquids Pipelines strategy focuses on meeting the needs of Western Canadian crude oil producers. This strategy includes continuing to develop Alberta oil sands infrastructure, enhancing producer access to diluent and increasing traditional PADD II (U.S. Midwest) market penetration. The Company advanced these objectives during the first half of 2006 by initiating the Southern Lights Pipeline project, advancing the Southern Access Expansion and Extension projects, developing the Hardisty Terminal project and completing the reversal of Spearhead Pipeline.
Southern Lights Pipeline
In response to interest expressed by a number of shippers to increase the availability of diluent in Western Canada, Enbridge announced plans to build the Southern Lights Pipeline. This 180,000 barrel per day (bpd) pipeline would transport diluent from Chicago to Edmonton. Diluent is required to transport heavy oil and bitumen produced in Alberta. In July 2006, Enbridge received shipper

commitments exceeding the planned capacity of the Southern Lights Pipeline. This pipeline is expected to be in service in early 2009.
The Southern Lights Pipeline project is expected to cost approximately US$920 million (in 2006 dollars) and will include constructing a new 16 or 20-inch diameter pipe from Chicago to Clearbrook, Minnesota and reversing the flow of Enbridge’s Line 13, an existing crude oil pipeline, from Clearbrook to Edmonton. Enbridge will also construct a new 20 or 24-inch pipeline to transport crude oil from Cromer, Manitoba to Clearbrook and expand its existing Line 2. These changes to the existing crude oil system will increase southbound light crude system capacity by 45,000 bpd.
The approval of the Board of Directors of EEP is required to exchange the portion of Line 13 currently owned by EEP for a portion of the Cromer to Clearbrook crude oil pipeline to be constructed. In addition, a final decision to proceed with the project will require support from crude oil shippers for the required reconfiguration of the mainline system, as well as the successful completion of engineering, environmental permitting, public consultation and regulatory approvals.
Southern Access Extension
Enbridge is proceeding, with the formal support of shippers and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), with the expedited construction of the Southern Access Extension from Flanagan, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois. The Southern Access Extension involves a new 36-inch diameter, 400,000 bpd pipeline at a cost of approximately US$350 million and is targeted to be in service in 2009. Construction of the new line is subject to regulatory approvals.
Southern Access Mainline Expansion
During the first quarter of 2006, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved an Offer of Settlement with respect to tolls for the U.S. segment of the Southern Access Expansion. The Settlement allows the Lakehead System, the portion of the mainline owned by EEP in the United States, to recover the costs associated with Southern Access Expansion through a surcharge in addition to existing base rates. The surcharge will be a transparent cost-of-service-based tariff mechanism that EEP will adjust each year to actual costs and throughput.
In the second quarter of 2006, Enbridge and EEP reached agreement with shippers and CAPP to increase the proposed diameter of the Southern Access Expansion between Superior, Wisconsin and Flanagan, Illinois to a 42-inch diameter, increasing the estimated capital cost of the Southern Access Expansion to approximately US$1.3 billion (in 2005 dollars). The pipe diameter increase, in conjunction with the proposed Alberta Clipper Pipeline, will position the system for low-cost future expansion. The first phase of the Canadian mainline expansion project has been expedited and is now expected to add approximately 120,000 bpd of capacity by the end of 2006, rather than 2007. Subsequent phases are expected to increase the cumulative additional capacity to 190,000 bpd in 2008 and 400,000 bpd in 2009.
Alberta Clipper Pipeline
Shipper interest in the proposed 400,000 bpd Alberta Clipper Pipeline continues to be strong. Enbridge and EEP will seek to reach agreement with shippers on the project terms in time to permit the filing of regulatory applications before the end of 2006, to maintain the option to achieve an in-service date in the fourth quarter of 2009. The proposed Alberta Clipper Pipeline would involve the construction of a 36-inch diameter heavy crude line from Hardisty, Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin, in conjunction with additional pumping power applied to the new 42-inch pipe from Superior to Flanagan, Illinois, described above under Southern Access Extension. The Canadian segment of the line is expected to cost $1,375 million (in 2006 dollars) and the U.S. segment, which would be undertaken by EEP, is expected to cost US$700 million (in 2006 dollars).

Gateway Pipeline Project
Enbridge is continuing to work towards obtaining volume commitments and transportation agreements with shippers for the Gateway Pipeline Project. This project includes a 400,000 bpd petroleum export line which would transport oil from the Edmonton, Alberta area to Kitimat, B.C. where it could be shipped by tanker to China, other Asia-Pacific markets and California. The project also includes a condensate import line, which would bring imported condensate from Kitimat, B.C. to the Edmonton, Alberta area. Interest expressed by shippers has resulted in upsizing the petroleum export line to from 30 to 36 inches. The size of the condensate import line has also been increased from 16 to 20 inches. In several cases the execution of the agreements is pending a final decision by the shipper on an oil sands project. The in service date preference of the shippers spans 2010 and 2011 based on the timing of their projects.
Hardisty Terminal
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company announced its plan to proceed with the construction of a new crude oil terminal at Hardisty, Alberta. The terminal is expected to have an initial capacity of 5 million barrels and will cost approximately $250 million. The Company has executed contracts for 80% of the initial capacity and has entered into letters of intent representing the balance of the initial capacity. The Company is in active discussions with additional parties whose interest would support a second phase expansion. The facility is anticipated to start to come into service in December 2007, with tanks being commissioned throughout 2008.
Waupisoo Pipeline
The Waupisoo Pipeline project continues to progress as the $400 million (in 2005 dollars) crude oil line is in the Alberta regulatory review process. The previously announced diluent line has been separated from the regulatory filing in order to expedite the crude oil line, which is needed earlier. Enbridge will continue discussions with all interested parties for a diluent line, with construction and an in-service date to be determined at a later date.
Spearhead Pipeline
During March 2006, Spearhead Pipeline commenced delivery of crude oil from Chicago to Cushing, Oklahoma. The initial capacity of Spearhead Pipeline is 125,000 bpd and it can be expanded to 190,000 bpd in the near term. Current volumes of approximately 75,000 bpd have exceeded the Company’s first year expectations.
Other Development Initiatives
The Company routinely considers many potential development initiatives designed to provide shippers with access to diverse markets and meet growing demand for pipeline capacity from the Alberta oil sands. In addition to the Gateway Pipeline project to the west coast and the Alberta Clipper Pipeline project, which could provide large incremental export capacity, the Company has had discussions with customers who have expressed an interest in taking capacity on a new $3.6 billion, 400,000 bpd pipeline, which could transport oil from Alberta directly to Texas. This pipeline would also connect to refining centers in Denver, Colorado and Cushing, Oklahoma. The development of a number of alternative initiatives allows shippers to choose the projects that best meet their needs. Enbridge will only proceed with projects supported by shippers.
Gas Pipelines — Offshore Developments
One of the Company’s Gas Pipelines’ strategies is to capitalize on its offshore Gulf of Mexico assets (Enbridge Offshore Pipelines) through the connection of new gas discoveries and acquisition of other deepwater systems. During the second quarter of 2006, Enbridge made progress on this objective by acquiring, through a 50%-owned joint venture, a 14-mile offshore pipeline, with a capacity of 200 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d), to transport natural gas from the West Cameron area to its jointly owned Stingray Pipeline.

Shenzi Lateral Project
Enbridge also announced plans to construct a natural gas lateral to connect the new deepwater Shenzi field to existing Gulf of Mexico pipelines. The 11-mile lateral is expected to cost approximately US$45 million and to have a capacity of 100 mmcf/d. The Shenzi lateral would deliver natural gas through the Company’s 22%-owned Cleopatra Pipeline, the 50%-owned Manta Ray Pipeline and the 50%-owned Nautilus Pipeline and is expected to be completed by the end of 2007 with the first gas expected by mid-year 2009. Construction is scheduled in the second half of 2007 to secure the commitment of a lay vessel, which are in high demand, and avoid interference with the producers’ development construction in 2008.
Neptune Project
Construction of the US$125 million natural gas and crude oil laterals, which will connect the deepwater Neptune oil and gas field to existing Gulf of Mexico pipelines is now expected to begin as early as November of this year with sub-sea tie-ins scheduled for the second quarter of 2007.
Project Updates — Power Generation
Construction of the 200-megawatt Ontario wind power project on the eastern shore of Lake Huron is now scheduled to begin in late 2006 with start up expected in the fall of 2007.
Enbridge will not be participating as a partner in the Goreway Power Project. However, EGD has received approval from the OEB to construct a pipeline to service this facility. The Company will continue to explore gas-fired generation opportunities that are supported by long-term contracts and improve the utilization of existing assets.
Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) — Late Payment Penalties Class Action Proceeding
In July 2006, culminating a 12-year legal case, EGD entered into a settlement agreement with respect to the repayment of a portion of amounts paid to it as late payment penalties. The total amount of late payment penalties billed between April 1994 and February 2002, when the late payment penalty was revised, was approximately $74 million.
Under the settlement agreement, which must be approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, EGD would donate $9 million to the Winter Warmth Fund, pay class counsel approximately $10 million for the plaintiff’s legal fees and expenses and pay approximately $2 million to the Class Proceedings Fund. The Winter Warmth Fund provides eligible low-income customers of participating Ontario utilities with financial assistance for the payment of their natural gas and electricity bills.
The settlement agreement is subject to the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the Court). The Court will consider the settlement at a hearing likely to be held in September 2006. If the Court does not approve the settlement, the settlement agreement will become null and void, the proposed payments will not be made by the Company and the litigation will likely continue. EGD intends to apply to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for recovery of payments resulting from the settlement and has booked a total liability of approximately $21 million with an offsetting receivable from ratepayers.
EGD — Final 2006 Rates Decision
On February 9, 2006, the OEB released its decision relating to EGD’s 2006 rate application. The new rates approved by the OEB’s decision result in an overall increase in rates of approximately 1% for the average residential customer. One key element of the decision included a capital expenditure budget of $300 million, compared with EGD’s request for capital expenditures of approximately $460 million. Average annual capital expenditures incurred over the past five years have been approximately $250 million per year.

OUTLOOK
Hurricane Update
Enbridge Offshore Pipelines natural gas volumes increased in the second quarter of 2006, recovering to 2005 pre-hurricane levels. This is the result of previously damaged infrastructure and associated production coming back on line and additional producer volumes committed to the systems, offsetting natural reservoir declines.
Repairs to producer-owned upstream facilities on the Mississippi Canyon corridor were completed at the end of the second quarter. Repairs in the Stingray corridor are substantially complete onshore and are anticipated to be completed offshore in the third quarter. Insurance coverage partially mitigated the temporary volume losses experienced as volumes returned to pre-hurricane levels.
The Company continues to maintain an active risk management program that includes comprehensive insurance coverage, notwithstanding a constrained insurance market. However, it is anticipated that related costs will increase in the form of higher insurance premiums and deductibles as well as longer waiting periods for business interruption claims. It is expected that the incidence and severity of windstorm occurrences, and the Company’s direct experience in the Gulf of Mexico, will dictate future costs and coverage levels in this region.

Table of Contents

The Enbridge System reflected higher earnings from a number of factors including lower oil losses, performance incentives under the ITS and, within Terrace, lower taxes, higher toll revenues and the impact of higher volumes on the surcharge revenue.
Athabasca System earnings continued to grow as infrastructure additions contributed positively, but were partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $68.6 million compared with $53.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was due to improved earnings from Enbridge System and Athabasca System as well as contributions from Spearhead Pipeline and Olympic Pipeline.

Earnings from Gas Pipelines were $31.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $5.1 million from the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due mainly to the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar.
Alliance Pipeline US earnings were lower due to the stronger Canadian dollar in the first half of 2006 in comparison with the first half of 2005.
Vector Pipeline earnings were also impacted by the stronger Canadian dollar and higher operating costs in the second quarter of 2006 due to scheduled integrity inspections required by the regulator within the first six years of operation.
Enbridge Offshore Pipelines earnings are lower than the prior year; however, volumes returned to pre-hurricane levels during the second quarter of 2006. The stronger Canadian dollar also reduced earnings.
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Gas Pipelines earned $15.9 million compared with $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease reflected a stronger Canadian dollar, compared with the same period in the prior year.

Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $43.4 million compared with $32.9 million in the same period of 2005. The increase was due to increased earnings from EEP as well as the impact of tax rate reductions on future income tax balances, partially offset by the absence of dilution gains in 2006.
EEP’s contribution to 2006 results improved significantly, despite the stronger Canadian dollar, and reflected considerably higher liquids throughput on the Lakehead System, higher margins and increased volumes in the natural gas gathering and processing businesses. The first half of 2006 also included $2.4 million (net to Enbridge) of unrealized mark-to-market gains on derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2006).
EEP issued partnership units in the first quarter of 2005 and, because Enbridge did not fully participate in these offerings, dilution gains resulted. There were no unit issuances in the first half of 2006.
Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $23.2 million compared with $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the impact of tax rate reductions on future income tax balances as well as improved results in EEP.

Earnings were $120.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with $130.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease was due primarily to reduced earnings from EGD which resulted from warmer than normal weather, partially offset by the impact of tax rate reductions on future income tax balances.

Table of Contents

EGD’s distribution volumes and earnings in 2006 were impacted by warmer weather. The weather in Ontario was warmer than normal in 2006 and reduced earnings by $30.7 million ($9.4 million in the second quarter) whereas weather was colder than normal and increased earnings by $1.7 million in the prior year ($2.0 million warmer than normal in the second quarter). EGD earnings were also reduced by a lower regulated rate of return on common equity, partially offset by a higher regulator approved rate base. The timing of operating and maintenance activities also increased earnings in the second quarter of 2006.
Noverco earnings were higher in the second quarter as the prior year included increased future income tax expense due to adjustments for reciprocal dividends and a significant cash dividend. In addition, the first quarter of the prior year included a $7.3 million dilution gain from a Gaz Metro LP unit issuance in which Noverco did not participate.
Aux Sable earnings were lower despite positive fractionation margins during the first half of 2006. Aux Sable entered into an output arrangement effective January 1, 2006, that eliminates substantially all negative earnings variability. Aux Sable now receives a fixed annual fee and upside sharing above a certain fractionation margin level. As the upside sharing is an annual measure, earnings in the first half of 2006 reflect only the fixed fee portion of the payment. Any upside sharing will be recorded when earned, in accordance with accounting rules for revenue recognition.
Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $34.0 million compared with $2.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase resulted from the tax rate reductions noted above and improved results from Noverco due to additional tax expense in 2005. The impact of warmer than normal weather on EGD’s earnings was less pronounced in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2006 because volumes are seasonally lower in the second quarter of the year.

Corporate costs totaled $24.5 million for six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The overall decrease was due to the impact of tax rate reductions on future income tax balances, partially offset by higher interest expense as a portion of the Company’s floating rate debt was repaid through the issuance of long-term fixed rate debt.
Corporate costs for the three months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $5.1 million compared with $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from the impact of tax rate reductions on future income tax balances.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company expects to generate sufficient cash from operations to fund liabilities as they come due, finance budgeted investing activity and pay common share dividends throughout 2006. Additional liquidity, if necessary, is available under committed credit facilities or through access to the capital markets.
Operating Activities
Cash from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,191.7 million and reflected an increase of $170.5 million from the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by a larger decrease in inventory during the first half of 2006 as a result of higher commodity prices in late 2005, which increased the value of opening inventory that was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The three-month results ended June 30, 2006 reflected similar factors as the six-month results.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities was $204.7 million (2005 — $147.5 million) and $535.2 million (2005 — $320.3 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The increases reflected the purchase of a 65% joint venture interest in Olympic Pipeline for $101.4 million during the first quarter of 2006 and increased expenditures on property, plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Higher expenditures on property, plant and equipment reflected construction of new laterals on the Gulf of Mexico pipeline infrastructure, planned system expansions on the Athabasca pipeline as well as customer additions and system upgrades in EGD.
Financing Activities
The Company’s debt to capitalization ratio was 62.2% on June 30, 2006, compared with 64.5% on December 31, 2005.
Financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulted in a use of cash of $661.8 million, comparable with $670.0 million in the same period in 2005. Financing activities in the first half of 2006 primarily consisted of the issuance of medium term notes by Enbridge Inc. and EGD totaling $500.0 million during the first quarter. In addition, long-term debt of $400.0 million of Enbridge Inc. was repaid upon maturity during the second quarter of 2006. Long-term debt issues as well as cash from operations funded the reduction in short-term borrowings and short-term debt for the six months ended

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Hedges, Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement and Comprehensive Income
New accounting standards will be in effect for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006 for hedge accounting, recognition and measurement of financial instruments and disclosure of comprehensive income. The Company anticipates that the adoption of these standards will result in the recognition of financial instruments and hedging relationships consistent with similar requirements in the U.S., as currently reflected in the Company’s United States Accounting Principles note.

1   Quarterly Financial Information has been extracted from financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Revenue fluctuates primarily due to the seasonality of EGD. Typically, EGD’s revenue peaks in the winter months during the first quarter and, to a lesser extent, in the fourth quarter when higher volumes are sold. Also, EGD’s revenue and earnings are affected by variations in the weather, especially in the winter, when warmer or colder than normal temperatures can result in lower or higher distribution volumes, respectively.
Significant items that impacted the quarterly earnings and revenue, in addition to the seasonal fluctuations described above, were as follows:
    Second quarter earnings in 2006 included the impact of tax rate reductions, which increased earnings by a total of $48.9 million. Revenues in the second quarter of 2006 were higher than the second quarter of 2005 due to higher commodity prices and were offset by higher commodity costs, as EGD does not earn a profit from changes in the price of natural gas.
    First quarter earnings in 2006 reflected improved earnings in the Enbridge System more than offset by lower results from EGD, due primarily to warmer than normal weather. Revenues in the first quarter of 2006 were higher due to higher commodity prices and were offset by higher commodity costs.
    Third quarter earnings in 2005 were negatively impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and by non-cash losses on the fair value of derivatives in EEP.
    First quarter earnings in 2005 included dilution gains in EEP and within Noverco.
    Fourth quarter earnings in 2004 included an additional quarter for EGD and other gas distribution businesses as the consolidation of these businesses changed from quarter lag to calendar year. Although this quarter included six months of earnings from these businesses, the additional quarter (July – September) is seasonally a summer loss quarter, which reduced earnings in the fourth quarter of 2004.
    Third quarter earnings in 2004 included a $97.8 million gain on the sale of the Company’s investment in AltaGas.

1.   Liquids Pipelines operating highlights include the statistics of the 10.9% owned Lakehead System and other wholly-owned liquid pipeline operations, excluding Spearhead Pipeline and Olympic Pipeline.
 
2.   Gas Distribution and Services volumes and the number of active customers are derived from the aggregate system supply and direct purchase gas supply arrangements.
 
3.   Degree-day deficiency is a measure of coldness which is indicative of volumetric requirements of natural gas utilized for heating purposes. It is calculated by accumulating for each day in the period the total number of degrees each day by which the daily mean temperature falls below 18 degrees Celsius. The figures given are those accumulated in the Greater Toronto Area.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Enbridge Inc.’s 2005 Annual Report. These accounting principles are different in some respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the significant differences that impact the Company’s financial statements are described in Note 4. These interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as those included in the 2005 Annual Report.
Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year due to the seasonal nature of the gas distribution utility business and other factors.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, 1.6 million (2005 — 1.5 million) stock options were granted to employees at a weighted average exercise price of $36.47 (2005 — $31.68). The weighted average grant-date fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $6.30 (2005 — $5.30) for each option granted3. Outstanding stock options expire over a period no later than June 1, 2016. The Company has applied the fair-value based method of accounting for stock options granted after January 1, 2003. Under this method, earnings include a compensation charge representing the fair value of options granted in years 2003 through 2006 amortized over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.
In addition, the Company granted 117,900 Performance Stock Units (PSUs) (2005 —130,130) to the Company’s senior officers during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The PSUs granted in 2006 mature on January 1, 2009. Compensation costs for PSUs are accounted for over the three-year period on a mark-to-market basis, whereby a liability and expense are recorded based on the number of PSUs outstanding, the current market price of the Company’s stock, and the Company’s performance relative to a specified peer group.

3.   The Black-Scholes model was used to calculate the fair-value of the fixed stock options. Significant assumptions include a risk-free interest rate of 4.15% (2005 — 4.44%) based on the Government of Canada yield corresponding to the expected term, expected volatility of 19% (2005 — 16%) based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price, an expected life of 8 years (2005 — 8 years) based on the Company’s historical data on option exercises, and an expected dividend yield of 3.23% (2005 — 3.17%).
3. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Pension Plans
The Company has three Company-funded pension plans, which provide either defined benefit or defined contribution pension benefits, or both, for employees of the Company. The Liquids Pipelines and Gas Distribution and Services pension plans provide defined benefit and/or defined contribution pension benefits to Canadian employees of Enbridge. The Enbridge U.S. pension plan provides defined benefit pension benefits. The Company also provides post-employment benefits other than pensions (OPEB) for qualifying retired employees. Costs recognized in the period are presented below.

The above reflects the pension and OPEB cost for all of the Company’s benefit plans on an accrual basis. However, in accordance with its ability to recover employee benefit costs on a pay-as-you-go basis for the regulated operations of Gas Distribution and Services, the Company records the cost of such benefits on a cash basis. Using the cash basis for the Gas Distribution and Services plans and the accrual method for other plans, the Company’s pension and OPEB costs were $11.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 (2005 — $8.8 million) and $6.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 (2005 — $4.3 million).

1.   Stock-based Compensation
 
    Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard 123 Revised 2004 (FAS 123R), Share Based Payment, on a modified prospective basis for U.S. GAAP purposes. FAS 123R requires the use of the fair value method to measure compensation expense for the Company’s Fixed Stock Options (FSOs) and Performance Based Options (PBOs) issued after January 1, 2006, as well as for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been performed that are outstanding as of January 1, 2006. FAS 123R also requires the use of the fair value method for awards settled in cash, including the Company’s Performance Stock Units (PSUs).
 
    The Company had previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions of the former FAS 123, Share Based Payment, effective January 1, 2003, resulting in the recognition of stock based compensation expense using the fair value method for FSOs and PBOs issued subsequent to that date.
 
    The Company’s PSUs do not have a strike price, therefore the fair value is equal to the intrinsic value used for Canadian GAAP purposes, eliminating any differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP. The intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company’s closing share price and the exercise price, multiplied by the dilutive number of options/units. FAS 123R requires the effect of forfeitures to be estimated and recorded at the grant date which is also an acceptable Canadian GAAP alternative. Therefore, there is no impact on net income or cash flow as a result of adopting FAS 123R. However, FAS 123R requires the following additional disclosures.
                                 
    Number of Options   Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Units Exercised during the period
                       
    Cash of $18.3 million (2005 — $23.8 million) and $10.7 million (2005 — $7.2 million) was received from the exercise of FSO’s and PBO’s respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The PSUs are paid out at the end of a three-year performance cycle.
 
    As at June 30, 2006, there was $17.2 million and $6.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the FSOs and the PSUs, respectively. This is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years for the FSOs and 1.9 years for the PSUs.
 
2.   Future Income Taxes
 
    Under U.S. GAAP, deferred income tax liabilities are recorded for rate-regulated operations, which follow the taxes payable method for ratemaking purposes. As these deferred income taxes are expected to be recoverable in future revenues, a corresponding regulatory asset is also recorded. These assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in enacted income tax rates. A deferred tax liability of $647.9 million (2005 — $709.0 million) is recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes and reflects the difference between the carrying value and the tax basis of property, plant and equipment. Regulated companies following the taxes payable method are not required to record this additional tax liability under Canadian GAAP. To recover the additional deferred income taxes recorded under U.S. GAAP through the ratemaking process, it would be necessary to record incremental revenue of $918.6 million (2005 — $1,100.9 million).
 
3.   Accounting for Joint Ventures
 
    U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s investments in joint ventures to be accounted for as investments using the equity method, as opposed to proportionately consolidated. However, under an accommodation of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the accounting for a joint venture need not be reconciled from Canadian to U.S. GAAP if this joint venture is jointly controlled by all owners. Joint ventures in which all owners do not share joint control are reconciled to U.S. GAAP. The different accounting treatment affects only display and classification and not earnings or shareholders’ equity.
 
4.   Financial Instruments
 
    For U.S. GAAP purposes, FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in current period earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

- 8 -


Table of Contents

    The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives held for hedging purposes depends on their intended use. For fair value hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments is offset in income against the change in the fair value, attributed to the risk being hedged, of the underlying hedged asset, liability or firm commitment. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments is offset through other comprehensive income, until the variability in cash flows being hedged is recognized in earnings in future accounting periods.
 
5.   Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
 
    At June 30, 2006, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of $168.7 million (2005 — $65.3 million) consists of an accumulated foreign currency translation loss of $202.2 million (December 30, 2005 — $149.8 million) and net unrealized gains of $33.5 million (December 31, 2005 — $54.3 million) on derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges.
 
    Of the total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of $168.7 million, the Company estimates that approximately $10.3 million, representing unrecognized net losses on derivative activities at June 30, 2006, is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months and primarily relates to natural gas supply management.
 
6.   Consolidation of a Limited Partnership
 
    In June 2005, the U.S. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), reached a consensus on EITF issue 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (EITF 04-5), addressing when a general partner, or general partners as a group, control and should therefore, consolidate a limited partnership. Under EITF 04-5, a sole general partner is presumed to control a limited partnership when certain conditions are met.
 
    Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted, without restatement of prior periods, EITF 04-5. As a result of adopting EITF 04-5, the Company is consolidating its 10.9% interest in Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP). The impact of adopting EITF 04-5, for U.S. GAAP purposes as at and for the three and six months ending June 30, 2006, is outlined below.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
EGD Late Payment Penalties Class Action Lawsuit
In July 2006, culminating a 12-year legal case, EGD entered into a settlement agreement with respect to the repayment of a portion of amounts paid to it as late payment penalties. The total amount of late payment penalties billed between April 1994 and February 2002, when the late payment penalty was revised, was approximately $74 million.
Under the settlement agreement, which must be approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, EGD would donate $9 million to the Winter Warmth Fund, pay class counsel approximately $10 million for the plaintiff’s legal fees and expenses and pay approximately $2 million to the Class Proceedings Fund. The Winter Warmth Fund provides eligible low-income customers of participating Ontario utilities with financial assistance for the payment of their natural gas and electricity bills.
The settlement agreement is subject to the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the Court). The Court will consider the settlement at a hearing likely to be held in September 2006. If the Court does not approve the settlement, the settlement agreement will become null and void, the proposed payments will not be made by the Company and the litigation will likely continue. EGD intends to apply to the Ontario Energy Board for recovery of payments resulting from the settlement.
