Note 4: Segmented Information

Effective January 1, 2009, TransCanada revised its presentation of certain income and expense items in the Consolidated Statement of Income to better reflect the operating and financing structure of the Company. To conform with the new presentation, certain of the income and expense amounts pertaining to operations that were previously classified on the Consolidated Income Statement as Other Expenses/(Income) are now included in Operating and Other Expenses/(Income). Depreciation expense has been redefined as Depreciation and Amortization expense and includes amortization of $58 million in 2009 (2008 and 2007 — $58 million), for PPAs, which was previously included in Commodity Purchases Resold. Support services costs previously allocated to Pipelines and Energy of $112 million in 2009 (2008 — $106 million; 2007 — $97 million) are now included in Corporate. In addition, amounts related to Interest Expense and Interest Expense of Joint Ventures, Interest Income and Other, Income Taxes and Non-Controlling Interests are no longer reported on a segmented basis. Segmented information has been retroactively reclassified to reflect these changes. These changes had no impact on reported consolidated Net Income.
