The following compliance activities,undertaken by the AGLC, help ensurethat the provisions of the Gaming andLiquor Act, Tobacco Tax Act, CriminalCode and Commission policies areeffectively enforced.

Gaming

A total of 149 incident reports were filedon gaming related matters during thefiscal year. These incidents concernedviolations of VLT retailer agreements,cheating at play in casinos, illegal gamingactivities, activities of registered gamingworkers as well as the contravention ofBoard policies respecting legal gamingactivities for raffles, pull tickets, bingosand casinos. Of primary concern in theenforcement activities was maintainingthe integrity of legal gaming in Alberta.

In addition to the incident reports filed,there were 154 new gaming investigationfiles opened by the Commission’s SpecialOperations Division. This resulted in 40charges being laid under the Gaming andLiquor Act. Many of the investigationshave resulted in charges being laid underthe Criminal Code. In many cases,Special Operations have been able tohelp charitable organizations recovergaming funds missing from their bankaccount through theft or fraud.

Liquor

A total of 647 incident reports were filedon liquor-related matters (433 in1996/97). These incident reports focuson five key areas of enforcement: illegalliquor, liquor service to minors, over-service, after hours liquor service andprohibited relationships between liquorsuppliers and liquor licensees. The major

increase in incidents can be attributed toafter hours liquor service and prohibitedrelationships.

Tobacco

Under the Tobacco Tax Act, 54 newinvestigation files were opened duringthe fiscal year. This resulted in sevencharges being laid under the TobaccoTax Act. The Commission carried out85 compliance checks with tobaccoretailers to ensure that tobacco beingsold has been legally purchased.

The Commission conducts and manages provincial lotteries, carries out functionsrespecting gaming under the Criminal Code of Canada, and controls, in accordance withlegislation, the manufacture, importation, sale and purchase of liquor for theGovernment of Alberta.

The net proceeds arising from the conduct of authorized ticket lottery, video lottery andcasino gaming terminal operations in Alberta are remittable to the Lottery Fund. Thenet proceeds of liquor operations and other income are remittable to the GeneralRevenue Fund.

The Commission is a Crown agent of the Government of Alberta and as such, has atax-exempt status.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND REPORTING PRACTICES

Joint Venture

Alberta’s share of the operations of the Western Canada Lottery Corporation isaccounted for as a joint venture.

Inventories

Supplies inventories are valued at weighted average cost which is not in excess of netreplacement value.

Inventory held on behalf of liquor suppliers or agents, and related duties and taxes, arenot recorded in the financial statements.

Capital Assets

Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization iscalculated on the straight-line method at annual rates which will reduce the original costto estimated residual value over the useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Buildings and Leasehold ImprovementsGaming Systems and EquipmentFurniture and EquipmentRetailer Fixtures and SignageComputer SoftwareVehicles

2.5% or 10% (or lease term)20% or 33.3%10% or 20%20%33.3%20% or 33.3%



March 31, 1998

13

NOTE 2 Capital assets held for sale are stated at estimated net realizable value.(Con’t)

Write-downs of capital assets to estimated net recoverable amount or to net realizablevalue are included in accumulated amortization.

Pension Costs

Pension costs comprise: the cost of pension benefits earned by employees during theyear; interest on the Commission’s share of the unfunded pension liability; theamortization of deferred adjustments over the expected average remaining service life ofemployees which relate to the long term; realized gains and losses; and the effect of thechange in the ratio used to allocate the plan’s total unfunded liability to participatingentities. The net expense or recovery is included as part of salaries and benefits inoperating expenses.

Actuarial valuations were determined using the projected benefit method prorated onservice. Assumptions used in the valuations are based on each Pension Board’s bestestimate of future events. Each plan’s future experience will inevitably vary, perhapssignificantly, from the assumptions. Any differences between the actuarial assumptionsand future experience will emerge as gains or losses in future valuations. Gains andlosses which relate to the long-term are amortized over the expected average remainingservice life of the employee group. Gains or losses for which there is a reasonableassurance regarding their measurement and realization are recognized as incomeimmediately.

Ticket Lottery Revenue

Ticket lottery revenue is recorded as of the date of the draw with the exception ofinstant game revenue, which is recognized at the time of sale to the retailer.

$ 548 647

NOTE 16 YEAR 2000

The year 2000 issue is the result of some computer programs being written using twodigits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using “00" as the year 1900 rather than the year2000, which could result in miscalculations or systems failures. In addition, similarproblems may arise in some systems if certain dates in 1999 are not recognized as avalid date or are recognized to represent something other than a date. The effects of theyear 2000 issue may be experienced before, on, or after January 1, 2000. If notaddressed, the effect on operations and financial reporting may range from minor errorsto significant systems failures that could affect the ability to conduct some operations.

The Commission is currently working to resolve the potential effect of the year 2000 onthe processing of date-sensitive information in a timely manner. The costs of addressingpotential problems by modifying, replacing or retiring significant portions ofcomputerized information systems are not expected to have a material adverse effect onthe Commission’s financial condition. Despite the Commission’s efforts to address thisissue, it is not possible to be certain that all aspects of the year 2000 issue affecting theCommission, including those related to the efforts of customers, suppliers and otherthird parties, will be fully resolved.
