Variable Return

Principal Outstanding equals the Original Principal Amount ($100) less the aggregate of all Monthly Partial Principal Repayments made during the term of the Notes.

The Variable Return, if any, on a Note will be the sum of: (i) the Capital Appreciation and (ii) the Additional Amount, where the Variable Return may not be less than zero.

Capital Appreciation equals the amount, if any, by which NAVFINAL exceeds the Original Principal Amount ($100).

The Additional Amount, which may be positive or negative, is an amount equal to: (i) the Undiscounted Fixed Amount discounted for a term of one year at the 1-year Bankers’ Acceptance Rate prevailing at the Maturity Date; less (ii) the Principal Outstanding at the Maturity Date. The Undiscounted Fixed Amount is a sum in excess of $100 to be established by the Calculation Agent.

Example:

NAVFINAL = $180
Principal Outstanding = $70.00
Total of Quarterly Principal Repayments = $30.00
Undiscounted Fixed Amount = $104.00
1 yr BA CDOR at Maturity = 4.30%

(i) Capital Appreciation = NAVFINAL ($180) - $100 = $80.00

(ii) Additional Amount = $104.00/ (1 + 0.043) - $70.00 = $29.71

(iii) Variable Return = Additional Amount + Capital Appreciation = $29.71 + $80.00

(iv) Maturity Payment Amount = Principal Outstanding + Variable Return
= $70.00 + $109.71 = $179.71

Maturity Payment Amount is in addition to Monthly Principal Payments of $30.00 paid over the term of the Notes.

If the Notes are held to the Maturity Date, the full Original Principal Amount ($100 per Note) will have been paid in total by the Maturity Date (regardless of the performance of the Portfolio and even if NAVFINAL is less than $100 for any reason.) An Investor cannot elect to receive the Variable Return, if any, prior to the Maturity Date and the Notes cannot be redeemed or retracted prior to the Maturity Date. There is a possibility that an Investor may not receive any Variable Return.

Fund Account Exposure

Fund exposure was 132% on the issue date (May 24, 2008) and has changed as noted below:

Monthly Partial Principal Repayments

Monthly Partial Principal Repayments per Note will be payable in Canadian dollars in an amount, if any, equal to 75% of the aggregate Distributions (on a per Note basis) paid on the Units in the Fund Account as of the relevant record date(s) in the relevant month. Upon payment of any Monthly Partial Principal Repayment on the Notes, the aggregate amount of such payment will be deducted from the Principal Repayment Account. If Monthly Partial Principal Prepayments per Note total $99, in the aggregate, during the term of the notes, no further Monthly Partial Principal Repayments will be made. In such event, any further Distributions, if any, made on the Units in the Fund Account will thereafter be reinvested in Units at the then prevailing net asset value per Unit and no amounts corresponding to the amounts of any such Distributions will be credited to the Principal Repayment Account. There can be no assurance that any Distribution will be paid on the Units in the Fund Account during the term of the Notes and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that any Monthly Partial Principal Repayments will be paid on the Notes.

Performance Commentary

As at July 31, 2008 the performance of the BNS CI Performer Deposit Notes (ROC), Series 1 on a NAV basis is -12.93% since inception. The Notes have paid a total of $4.55 in all monthly partial principal repayments. Canadian equities have underperformed over the past several months, and Global equity markets continue to be extremely volatile, negatively affecting the overall performance of the Notes. The Canadian yield curve rallied over the month, increasing the cost of principal protection and therefore decreasing distance in CPPI Notes. During the period from July 1, 2008 to July 31, 2008 there was 1 de-leveraging event. As at July 31, 2008 the Notes have a fund exposure of 41%.
