We may not be successful in integrating and optimizing assets acquired in our acquisition of Western.

Risks associated with acquisitions include those relating to:

 

  •  

liability for known or unknown environmental conditions or other contingent liabilities not covered by indemnification or insurance;

 

  •  

greater than anticipated expenditures required for compliance with environmental or other regulatory standards, or for investments to improve operating results;

 

  •  

difficulties in achieving anticipated operational improvements;

 

  •  

diversion of management time and attention from our existing businesses and other priorities; and

 

  •  

difficulties in integrating the financial, technological and management standards, processes, procedures and controls of an acquired business into those of our existing operations.

Such acquisition risks are in addition to any risks inherent in the operations of an oil sands mining business.
