7. What are "eligible dividends" and "ineligible dividends"?

Answer:

 

“Eligible dividends” received by Canadian residents are generally subject to personal income tax at a lower rate than “ineligible dividends”. The ability of the Company to pay an “eligible dividend” depends on many factors with the nature of the income earned and the tax rate of that income being among the key factors. For the month of January 2011, "eligible dividends" total $0.0316 per common share while "ineligible dividends" total $0.0313 per common share. It is currently anticipated that future dividends will be "eligible dividends".
