4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES<br />

A number <strong>of</strong> the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination <strong>of</strong> fair value,<br />

for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for<br />

measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further<br />

information about the assumptions made in determining the fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to<br />

that asset or liability.<br />

(a) Non-derivative <strong>Financial</strong> Assets<br />

The fair values <strong>of</strong> cash, accounts receivable and deposits approximate their carrying values due to<br />

their short-term maturities. The fair values <strong>of</strong> long-term receivables approximate their carrying<br />

values due to their current market rates. Long-term receivables are included in other assets in the<br />

consolidated balance sheets.<br />

(b) Property and Equipment Acquired in a Business Combination<br />

The fair values <strong>of</strong> property and equipment recognized as a result <strong>of</strong> a business combination are based<br />

on the amount for which an item <strong>of</strong> property and equipment could be exchanged on the date <strong>of</strong><br />

valuation between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.<br />

(c) Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination<br />

The fair values <strong>of</strong> prescription files and customer relationships acquired in a business combination are<br />

based on the discounted cash flow that the prescription files and customer relationships, respectively,<br />

are expected to generate using an estimated rate <strong>of</strong> return.<br />

The fair values <strong>of</strong> other intangible assets acquired in a business combination are based on external<br />

valuations, discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale <strong>of</strong> these<br />

assets, or other methods appropriate to the nature <strong>of</strong> the assets.<br />

(d) Derivatives<br />

The fair value <strong>of</strong> the interest rate derivative was valued using the one-month Reuters Canadian Dealer<br />

Offered Rate Index, as the Company’s interest rate derivative agreement had a reset term <strong>of</strong> one<br />

month. The primary valuation input for the determination <strong>of</strong> the fair values <strong>of</strong> the equity forward<br />

derivatives is the Company’s common share price.<br />

(e) Non-derivative <strong>Financial</strong> Liabilities<br />

The fair values <strong>of</strong> bank indebtedness, commercial paper, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and<br />

dividends payable approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturities. The fair<br />

values <strong>of</strong> the revolving term facility and other long-term liabilities approximate their carrying values<br />

due to the current market rates associated with these instruments. The fair values <strong>of</strong> medium-term<br />

notes are determined by discounting the associated future cash flows using current market rates for<br />

items <strong>of</strong> similar risk.<br />
