          normal course issuer bid in january 2008, rci applied to the toronto stock exchange (“tsx”) to make an ncib, which was accepted by the tsx on january 10, 2008, for purchases of its class b non-voting shares through the facilities of the tsx. the maximum number of class b non-voting shares that may be purchased pursuant to the ncib is the lesser of 15 million, representing approximately 3% of the number of class b non- voting shares outstanding at december 31, 2007, and that number of class b non-voting shares that can be purchased under the ncib for an aggregate purchase price of 300 million. the actual number of class b non-voting shares purchased, if any, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by rci considering market conditions, stock prices, its cash position, and other factors. covenant compliance we are currently in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt instruments, and we expect to remain in compliance with all of these covenants during 2008. at december 31, 2007, there are no financial leverage covenants in effect other than those pursuant to our bank credit facility (see note 15(i) to the 2007 audited consolidated financial statements). based on our most restrictive leverage covenants, we could have incurred 14.6 billion of additional long-term debt at december 31, 2007, including the 1.16 billion undrawn portion of our existing 2.4 billion bank credit facility. 2008 cash requirements on a consolidated basis, we anticipate that we will generate a net cash surplus in 2008 from cash generated from operations. we expect that we will have sufficient capital resources to satisfy our cash funding requirements in 2008, including the funding of dividends on our class a voting and class b non-voting shares, taking into account cash from operations and the amount available under our 2.4 billion bank credit facility. at december 31, 2007, there were no restrictions on the flow of funds between subsidiary companies nor between rci and any of its subsidiaries.
