text: **Covenants**
  We are currently in compliance with all covenants under our debt 
  instruments. At December 31, 2013, there were no financial leverage 
  covenants in effect other than those under our bank credit and letter of 
  credit facilities (see Terms and conditions under Note 18 to the 2013 
  audited consolidated financial statements). 
  **Capital Resources**
  Our capital resources consist primarily of cash flow from operations, 
  cash and cash equivalents, available lines of credit, funds available 
  under our accounts receivable securitization program and issuances of 
  long-term debt. 
  
  **Credit Ratings**
  Credit ratings provide an independent measure of credit quality of an 
  issue of securities, and can affect our ability to obtain short-term and 
  long-term financing and the terms of the financing. If rating agencies 
  lower the credit ratings on our debt, particularly a downgrade below 
  investment grade, it could adversely affect our cost of financing and 
  access to liquidity and capital. 
  
  We anticipate generating a net cash surplus in 2014 from our cash from 
  operations. We expect that we will have sufficient capital resources to 
  satisfy our cash funding requirements in 2014, including the funding of 
  dividends on our common shares, repayment of maturing long-term 
  debt and other 
  investing activities, and other 
  requirements, taking into account our opening cash balance, cash from 
  operations, the amount available under our $2.0 billion bank credit 
  facility, and our accounts securitization program and from the issuance 
  of 
  from time to time. At 
  long-term debt 
  December 31, 2013, there were no significant restrictions on the flow 
  of funds between Rogers and its subsidiary companies.
