New Jersey train wreak.

Net income up by 33.3 Mullion.

The net income in the second quarter increased by 33.3 million to 63,1 million, over doubling from the second quarter last year. The quarter generated a 10 million dollar tax liability due to increased income.

Two consistent quarters

Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased by $59.4 million to $114.4 million, as compared to $55.0 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase is mainly due to the $81.3 million increase in equity AFUDC, due to spending on the Expansion Project, partially offset by the $19.3 million increase in income tax expense, due to higher pre-tax income, the $2.2 million increase in interest expense, and the $2.0 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

EBITDA

A company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (commonly abbreviated EBITDA, pronounced) is an accounting measure calculated using a company’s earnings, before interest expenses, taxes, depreciation, and amortization are subtracted, as a proxy for a company’s current operating profitability (i.e., how much profit it makes with its present assets and its operations on the products it produces and sells, as well as providing a proxy for cash flow).

Two quarter increase due to customer funded equity.

Customer Income toward construction, is not moved to inventory or assets, and will eventually go to capitalization.

Who is the customer.

Trans Mountain moves oil by tariff, The 12 billion dollar (funding) cost of construction of the expansion should end up as capitalized expenses and will be written off against taxable income on a scaled annual basis and rate. Meaning that if it is ever sold the deprecated rate will be subject to recapture at a selling price that morally, should shadow fair market value or better, a profit for the Canadian taxpayer when they sell..

TGIF- Friday the 13th, lost its charm!

You do not have to be afraid of Friday the 13th, why? Because its lost its charm to the fear of the unknown and gained by the liberty of the experienced and the prowess of the wise. Superstition is done, cause and effect is 98 percent explained. That leaves 2 percent for me ( how to win the heart of a fair lady) can someone explain in 3 paragraphs or less. That would end all wondering about phenomena.

Sometimes known as date night Fridays must be excused from the 13th’s energy and success with the smarter gender still needs a real world reason; or not. Who can explain love? No sensei trying unless maybe a wise God has given us a scientific control. But that can’t be ,as love is not an experiment , it is a power.

However in the clinical sense they have terms: Love sick, , Love struck, Amour de la malade and any other that might fit symptoms of that funny feeling! If indeed the term lucky in love should retain its meaning then what? Well lets bar Friday the 13th by statute, as superstition!

Good luck to you and to blazes with superstition and bad luck: click below for playlist.
