It appears as a separate caption on the Company’s cash flow statements and is reconciled to both net income and cash flow from operations. Cash flow represents net income before exploration costs, DD&A, future taxes and other non-cash expenses. This presentation contains statements about oil and gas reserves, outlook of oil and gas prices, estimates of future sales and production, business plans for drilling, exploration and production, the estimated amounts and timing of capital expenditures, anticipated operating costs, anticipated future debt levels, royalty rates and exchange rates, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions and statements about future events or performance that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company and described in the forward-looking statements. Information about such factors is included in the Company’s Annual Report to securityholders, which is available in the foyer, under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis – Liquidity and Capital Resources", “- Risks and Uncertainties” and “- Outlook”. Information is also available in Talisman’s annual report on Form 40-F and other reports on file with Canadian and/or US securities regulatory authorities, which are available at http://www.talisman-energy.com/financials/financials.html. Note to U.S. Residents Information presented here and in Talisman’s filed reports is prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which differ from those in the United States. In particular, reserves reporting requirements and GAAP differ between the two countries. See the notes to Talisman’s Consolidated Financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report, as well as information under the headings “Additional Information for US Readers” and “Note to US Readers” for information concerning significant differences between Canadian and US reporting.
