About CGA-Canada _________________________________________ CGA-Canada today

CGA is the fastest-growing accounting designation in Canada. The CGA designation focuses on integrity, ethics and the highest education requirements. Recognized as the country’s accounting business leaders, CGAs provide strategic counsel, financial leadership, and overall direction to all sectors of the Canadian economy. The Certified General Accountants Association of Canada — CGA-Canada — sets standards, develops education programs, publishes professional materials, advocates on public policy issues, and represents CGAs nationally and internationally. The Association represents 71,000 CGAs and students in Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, Hong Kong and China.

Mission CGA-Canada advances the interests of its members and the public through national and international representation and the establishment of professional standards, practices, and services.

A proud history CGA-Canada was founded in Montréal in 1908 under the leadership of John Leslie, vice-president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. From the beginning, its objective was to encourage improvement in skills and job performance — a goal the Association holds to this day. On April 14, 1913, Canada's Parliament passed the Act that incorporated CGA-Canada as a self-regulating professional Association. Over the decades that followed, branches became associations in their own right, affiliated with the national body. A revised Act of Incorporation, passed in 1999, updated CGA-Canada's powers and reflected the Association's objectives and initiatives for the next millennium. The Act also established a French name for CGA-Canada — Association des comptables généraux accrédités du Canada.

Structure and roles CGA-Canada is governed by a Board of Directors that represents regional representation as well as a public representative. An Affiliation Council, comprised of representatives of each CGA affiliate, sets the strategic plan of CGA-Canada and approves national policy. Individual CGAs are represented nationally through CGA-Canada, and regionally through their provincial/territorial/regional associations and local chapters. The Association • ensures national recognition for the profession and advocates on policy issues of

concern to the profession • raises the profile of the CGA designation and represents members internationally • sets national educational standards, and develops and maintains an internationally

competitive program of professional studies and examinations to certify CGAs in Canada and overseas

• provides a range of services to affiliates and members • contributes to the profession's body of knowledge through research and participation in

international accounting organizations, particularly the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC)

Nationally and internationally, CGA-Canada contributes to accounting standard-setting by sharing its research findings and views. The Association also represents its members in debates of public policy. As a self-regulating organization, CGA-Canada also sets high standards of professionalism through its own Code of Ethical Principles and Rules of Conduct for members. This comprehensive set of rules and guidelines protects the public interest and ensures that CGAs maintain the highest ethical standards.

Education and professional development CGA-Canada's competency-based education program has long been acknowledged as a leader among distance learning education programs. Innovative technology is used not only in the delivery of the program, but is incorporated into the curriculum content as well. Similarly, ethical principles are also integrated throughout the curriculum. Education partnerships with Laurentian University and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology offer students a range of options for meeting the mandatory degree requirement.

Mandatory continuing professional education ensures that CGAs maintain their professional competence. CGA-Canada provides professional development opportunities in public practice, ethics, accounting and auditing standards, business valuation, taxation, and other topics. The Professional Development Network — PD Network — developed collaboratively with CGA Affiliates, is an extensive and powerful online information resource for members.

Introduction to Model Financial Statements The objectives of these model financial statements, accompanied by the Financial Statements Guideline from the CGA-Canada Public Practice Manual, are to

• show the preferred method of presentation of financial information • indicate the disclosure requirements for the presentation of financial information • indicate acceptable alternatives in financial statement style Both CICA Handbook recommendations and actual financial statements were reviewed to ensure that current Canadian practice is reflected in these model financial statements. The result is seven sets of financial statements. The first four sets are for small businesses and are based on the general ledger accounts that a small business is likely to maintain. The next two sets are for a non-consolidated company and a consolidated company respectively and are based on general ledger accounts that a large company is likely to maintain. The last set covers a not-for-profit association and the particular requirements of this type of entity. All financial statements, except the consolidated ones, provide account balances to show the relationships between the different statements. The consolidated financial statements are intended simply as a format guide. Therefore, the consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flow, as well as the notes to the financial statements, do not provide account balances. The consolidated financial statements are more complex than many actual company statements; accounts are many and diverse. An attempt has been made to include the most commonly used and most important types of accounts reported in financial statements. However, the model statements do not contain examples of every type of account that may be presented in financial statements. The models have been prepared using various formats, orders of presentation, and types of entities to provide a broad view of the possible presentation alternatives. Because of the complexities, not all issues can be covered. These models cannot replace professional judgment and should be used as guidelines, keeping in mind current practices and CICA Handbook updates. Although statement style is a matter of preference, financial disclosure is dictated by the Handbook. These model financial statements are updated to CICA Accounting Handbook Release 53.

International Financial Reporting Standards As you are no doubt aware, the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) has agreed to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for publicly accountable entities (PAE) for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Although a separate set of standards is currently being developed for non-publicly accountable enterprises (NPAE), they will have the option of adopting IFRS. The statements in this edition of the Model Financial Statements reflect current Canadian GAAP to CICA Handbook Release 53. Given the impending adoption of IFRS, this year’s MFS has a new section on IFRS with links to various websites that include illustrated model financial statements prepared under IFRS, and other information.

Disclosure Financial statement disclosure refers to the content of the statements and the specific items of information that are to be separately reported. Financial disclosure in the model financial statements is based on the accounting recommendations in the CICA Handbook. References to the applicable sections of the Handbook are given in the appendices to the CGA-Canada Financial Statements Guideline.

Statement style Statement style refers to the format or arrangement of the information. While the CICA Handbook (section 1400) sets out the general standards for financial statement presentation, the accountant still has considerable discretion in this area. The model financial statements display the most prevalent style used by Canadian corporations listed on stock exchanges. Depending on the magnitude of the account balances, they can be disclosed to the nearest dollar, the nearest thousand dollars, or even the nearest million dollars.

Note: Although the model financial statements display the current style of underlining used by a number of Canadian corporations, you are not required to follow this style when completing assignments or writing examinations. Simple underlining (single or double) or boldfacing of column totals, as used in the Module Notes, is satisfactory.

Differential reporting CICA Handbook section 1300, Differential Reporting permits “qualifying enterprises,” as defined in the section, to elect not to apply some of the reporting provisions of specified sections of the Handbook but to provide alternative disclosure instead. Sections with alternative disclosure provisions are section 1590, Subsidiaries; section 3051, Investments; section 3055, Interests in Joint Ventures; section 3064, Goodwill and other intangible assets; section 3240, Share Capital; section 3465, Income Taxes; section 3855, Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement; section 3861, Financial Instruments — Disclosure and Presentation; section 3862, Financial Instruments — Disclosures; and section 3863, Financial Instruments — Presentation. A qualifying enterprise is one that is not publicly accountable and whose owners (including those not normally entitled to vote) approve by vote, reporting in accordance with the alternative provision of a specified section. The qualifying enterprise’s reporting may follow the standard Handbook recommendations for some sections and use the alternative disclosure provisions of other sections. These model financial statements illustrate situations where all of the standard Handbook provisions have been applied. However, one possible note for a differential reporting situation is included in Appendix F, Additional Sample Notes, for illustrative purposes. If an eligible company does adopt any differential reporting options, the introductory paragraph in the auditor's report/public accountant’s report on the financial statements should: (a) indicate that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles using differential reporting options available to non-publicly accountable enterprises; and (b) refer to the summary of accounting policies in the financial statements that describes each differential reporting option applied. [CICA 5400.33/CICA 8200.51]

The required modification for a Review Engagement is illustrated in the “Other Considerations That Would Affect Disclosure” section at the end of the Sample Review Ltd. Financial Statements.

Notes to financial statements Canadian financial statements make extensive use of “notes” to disclose detailed information that otherwise could be reported in the body of the financial statements. The main statements are thus kept to a concise format, while the notes are considered an integral part of the financial statements. The model financial statements provide some specific notes as examples, while indications of other typical notes are shown in Appendix F. The notes provided are examples only; they are not the only notes that might be issued by the type of organization illustrated. In some cases, only indications are given for notes because there is no standard; you are encouraged to carefully match the words to the particular circumstances. Furthermore, it can be a matter of judgment as to whether or not a note is necessary.

Order of presentation The order provided in most of the model financial statements is that which auditors and accountants normally use when providing financial statements to their clients and when the financial statements are published as part of an annual report:

• Auditors’ Report • Balance Sheet • Statement of Income • Statement of Comprehensive Income • Statement of Retained Earnings • Cash Flow Statement • Notes to Financial Statements Although the order of presentation is largely governed by convention, in practice, a certain amount of variation is found in the order in which the components of the financial statements are presented. The provisions of IAS 1, paragraph 10 are much the same, providing that A complete set of financial statements comprises: (a) a statement of financial position as at the end of the period; (b) a statement of comprehensive income for the period; (c) a statement of changes in equity for the period; (d) a statement of cash flows for the period; (e) notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information; and (f) a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements, or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements. An entity may use titles for the statements other than those used in this Standard.

Under Canadian GAAP, financial statements for small businesses sometimes do not have a separate statement of retained earnings. In this case, the statements of income and retained earnings are combined in one statement. Also, while the Statement of Comprehensive Income must be presented with the same prominence as other statements, a specific format is not yet mandated. This will soon change with the impending mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards by PAEs, however. Specifically, IAS 1, paragraph 81 requires that An entity shall present all items of income and expense recognised in a period: (a) in a single statement of comprehensive income, or (b) in two statements: a statement displaying components of profit or loss (separate income statement) and a second statement beginning with profit or loss and displaying components of other comprehensive income (statement of comprehensive income).

1. Purpose and application 1.1 This Financial Statements Guideline provides format and presentation recommendations for

financial statements in audit, review, and compilation engagements. Audit and review engagement financial statements are presented in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), with all required disclosures. Compilation engagement financial statements are not required to be presented in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The standard for compiled financial statements is that they not be false or misleading.

1.2 The preparation of financial statements is both an art and a science. Financial statements should be presented using a format that is professional, understandable, and that provides the user with meaningful financial information. The preparation of financial statements also requires an understanding of complex standards and practices for measurement, presentation, and disclosure.

1.3 As described in paragraph 1400.03, financial statements should be presented fairly in accordance with Canadian GAAP the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of an entity that represent faithfully the substance of transactions and other events in accordance with the elements of financial statements, and the recognition and measurement criteria set out in section 1000 of the CICA Handbook.

1.4 The following main components of the financial statements will be explained and illustrated:

• title page • table of contents • practitioner’s communication (Auditor’s Report, Review Engagement Report, or Notice to

Reader) • basic financial statements • notes to financial statements • supplementary or other information

1.5 These model financial statements portray the requirements of the Accounting Standards Board of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, rather than those mandated by International Financial Reporting Standards. A section on IFRS-related resources is provided on page 137.

2. Title page 2.1 The title page should contain the name of the entity, the title of the financial statement, and the

date or period covered. In the case of a review engagement, the word “Unaudited” is inserted in parentheses below “Financial Statements” or the date, to indicate the level of service provided:

SAMPLE CORPORATION

Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Month, Day, Year

In the case of a compilation engagement, the words “Unaudited — See Notice to Reader” should be inserted in parentheses below “Financial Statements” or the date.

2.2 The name of the entity should be disclosed exactly as it appears within the articles of incorporation, partnership registration, or other legal document. Where appropriate, presentation of the name of the entity may be amended to reflect the entity’s trading name, as illustrated next:

SAMPLE CORPORATION

(Operating as: Sample Distributors)

Financial Statements

Month, Day, Year

2.3 The title should communicate to the reader what is included in the presentation. The following examples indicate the circumstances when they should be used.

• Financial Statements

Used when more than one type of financial statement is presented (balance sheet, statement of income, comprehensive income, retained earnings, and cash flow statement).

• Consolidated Financial Statements

Used when the financial statements of two or more entities are merged into one set of statements for presentation.

• Balance Sheet

The exact title of the financial statement is used when only one statement is presented.

• Financial Information

Used in the context of reporting on financial information other than financial statements; examples of such financial information include:

° specific financial statement items, such as sales at a particular location ° grant application data ° information about the effects of changing prices ° amounts calculated for insurance or trust deed purposes

2.4 The date should be the last date of the current year; in the case of a period covered, its end date should be the last date of the current period.

3. Table of contents 3.1 Within the table of contents, the title of each statement or schedule should be disclosed as it

appears on the statement or schedule itself, i.e.:

Report identification: Auditor’s Report, Review Engagement Report, or Notice to Reader

Balance Sheet Statement 1 Statement of Income Statement 2 Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement 3 Statement of Retained Earnings Statement 4 Cash Flow Statement Statement 5

Notes to Financial Statements Supporting schedules to which the financial statements are cross-referenced

4. Practitioner’s communication 4.1 The heading used should be “Auditor’s Report,” “Review Engagement Report,” or “Notice to

Reader” and should be presented on the CGA firm’s letterhead.

4.2 The Auditor’s Report and Review Engagement Report should be addressed to the person(s) engaging the practitioner. The inclusion of the city and province with the addressee is optional. The following are some examples of addressing:

Page 13: Model Financial Statements

Model Financial Statements 3

Corporations To the Board of Directors Sample Corporation Ltd. To the shareholders Sample Corporation Ltd. Anywhere, Anyplace

Closely held companies Mr. John Small, President Small Corporation Ltd.

Personal financial statements Mrs. Jane Doe Montreal, Quebec

Partnerships To the Partners Sample Partnership Vancouver, British Columbia

Proprietorship Mr. John Smith Smith Services

Trust financial statements Mr. John Doe Trustee Jane Doe Testamentary Trust Ottawa, Ontario

Estate financial statements Ms. Alice Stewart Executor Estate of John Smith

Not-for-profit associations To the members of Not-for-Profit Association

No address is required for the Notice to Reader report.

4.3 The practitioner’s communication is closed or signed off using the firm’s name rather than an individual signature, unless it is a sole practitioner.

The following is an example of the firm’s signature and title:

[Signed] Certified General Accountants

4.4 The date of the report is the date when work has been substantially completed. The location of the practitioner’s office is included with the report date, at the bottom-left corner of the report as per example.

[City, date]

5. Basic financial statements 5.1 Financial statements typically consist of:

• Balance Sheet • Statement of Income • Statement of Comprehensive Income • Statement of Retained Earnings • Cash Flow Statement

5.2 Financial statements for an audit or review engagement are presented in accordance with Canadian GAAP and require note disclosure relating to accounting policies and significant information.

5.3 Compilation engagement financial statements may range in format and presentation from those that are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP to financial statements that do not meet Canadian GAAP. Statements which are missing one or more of the required elements (i.e., no comparative figures, no cash flow statement, or sparse or non-existent financial statement notes) are considered not prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.

5.4 Comparative figures are normally presented with current year figures, per CICA Handbook paragraph 1400.12: “Financial statements should be prepared on a comparative basis, unless the comparative information is not meaningful or generally accepted accounting principles (as described in generally accepted accounting principles, Section 1100) permit otherwise.” For an audit or review engagement, note disclosure is required to provide the reason for not reporting comparative figures in the financial statements. Furthermore, if the level of service of the accountant for the preceding year is less than that of the current year, note disclosure is required to inform the reader that the prior year’s comparative figures were prepared on a review or compilation basis. Comparative figures note disclosure is included with note 1 — Summary of significant accounting policies. The following are examples of comparative figures note disclosure:

• Certain balances of the preceding period have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation.

• Comparative financial statements showing the figures for the corresponding preceding year were compiled without audit or review.

• The comparative figures shown on the financial statements have been prepared by another accounting firm.

5.5 Each financial statement should have a heading that consists of the name of the entity, the statement title, and the date or period covered. Additionally, the CICA Handbook recommends that “Each page of the information … be conspicuously marked as being unaudited” for review engagement reports or “Unaudited — See Notice to Reader” for compilation engagement reports (CICA Handbook paragraphs 8100.27 and 9200.14f).

Examples of the two types of headings follow:

Review engagement:

SAMPLE CORPORATION

Balance Sheet (Unaudited)

As At Month, Day, Year

Compilation engagement:

SAMPLE CORPORATION

Balance Sheet (Unaudited — See Notice to Reader)

As At Month, Day, Year

Review engagement:

SAMPLE CORPORATION

Balance Sheet (Unaudited — See Review Engagement Report)

Page 16: Model Financial Statements

6 Model Financial Statements

in the financial statements, and the heading should match the wording in the financial statements. The referencing is usually limited to balance sheet items, retained earnings changes, and large and unusual items in the statement of income. The order of the notes is generally as follows:

• general (notes about the nature of the entity’s operations or other important matters affecting the basis of presentation)

• summary of significant accounting policies

• other notes to the financial statements

11.2 Each page of the notes to the financial statements should have a heading that consists of the name of the entity, the title, and the date or period covered. In the case of review or compilation engagements, the term “Unaudited” or “Unaudited — See Notice to Reader” is inserted in parentheses after the heading of each page of the notes to the financial statements.

11.3 Paragraph 1505.09 of the CICA Handbook requires that all significant accounting policies followed by an entity be stated as an integral part of its financial statements. The disclosure of accounting policies should describe accounting principles and methods that involve:

• a selection from existing alternatives, or

• accounting principles and methods used which are peculiar to an industry in which an enterprise operates

11.4 Paragraph 1300.21 of the CICA Handbook requires that a qualifying enterprise opting to use differential reporting should:

(a) disclose in its summary of accounting policies the fact that, with the unanimous consent of its owners, its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with differential reporting requirements available to non-publicly accountable enterprises; and

(b) identify in the financial statements the differential reporting options it has applied.

11.5 The notes to the financial statements are designed to present disclosures required by Canadian GAAP regarding information not included in the financial statements. Notes usually pertain to current-year figures unless prior-year disclosure continues to be significant. Reference to “we,” “us,” “client,” and “our” should be avoided in the notes. Instead, reference should be made to “the company,” “the corporation,” and “management” to reflect that the notes belong to the client.

11.6 Policy notes should not be included in a compilation engagement.

11.7 The notes should be cross-referenced to the financial statement item to which they relate. Also, it may be desirable to add a footer to the bottom of the balance sheet and statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flow, such as

• The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. • See the accompanying notes to the financial statements. • The attached notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

11.8 Some common sample notes are provided in Appendix F, in addition to those included in the model financial statements.

12. Supplementary or other information 12.1 Supplementary or other information may be included to provide detailed schedules of revenues,

expenses, or other information that is not part of the basic financial statements. This information can be useful to the owner or management. Schedules should not present information required by Canadian GAAP, which is part of the financial statements.

12.2 The information contained in supplementary schedules should be meaningful to the user. The following are examples of items that may require a supplementary schedule:

Page 17: Model Financial Statements

Model Financial Statements 7

• cost of goods sold • department earnings statements • details of consolidation • comparative financial statements expressed in percentages • details of sales by product line • budgets for an expired period • rental schedule

12.3 Schedule headings should not use the term “statements.” They are separate from the basic financial statements; therefore, the term “schedule” is more appropriate. For example:

SAMPLE CORPORATION

Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold (Unaudited)

For The Year Ended Month, Day, Year

12.4 The reference to the practitioner’s report provides the degree of responsibility taken in regard to the supplementary schedules.

Paragraph 3855.35 of the Handbook indicates that an entity may appropriately use labels other than held-to-maturity as long as they are informative to readers of the financial statements.

Note:

The held-to-maturity category is for fixed maturity financial assets which the management intends to and has the financial capacity to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Note:

Non-derivative financial instruments that are not classified as held for trading, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity belong to this category. Available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. When there is objective evidence that an available for sale investment is impaired permanently, it should be recognized immediately in the net income.

* This category only applies when an entity adopts Handbook s. 3855, s. 3862, and s. 3863 (or s. 3855 and s. 3861).

Convertible securities 3500.35

Notes:

The dilutive effect of convertible securities should be reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the “if-converted” method.

Under this method:

a) returns on convertible senior equity instruments should be added back to the numerator (or deducted if applicable);

b) income charges applicable to convertible financial liabilities should be added back to the numerator;

c) the numerator should be adjusted for any non-discretionary changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of the dilutive convertible securities referred to in a) and b), such as profit-sharing expenses or royalty agreement’s expenses;

d) the numerator should be adjusted for the income tax effect of items a), b), and c); and

e) the convertible securities should be assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later), and the resulting common shares should be included in the denominator.

Equity component of convertible debentures XFI 3860.18 – .24* or 3863.09

Notes:

Derivative financial instruments include interest-rate swaps, currency or market-index futures, and options that transfer one or more of the risks of the underlying, primary instrument. Section 3860 excludes commodity options.

Section 3860 indicates that minimum disclosures include the following: Extent and nature; amount, timing, and risk of cash flows; exposure to interest-rate risk; exposure to credit risk; fair value and basis of valuation; and accounting policy.

Section 3863 requires the issuer of a financial instrument to classify each financial instrument, or its component parts, as a liability or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement on initial recognition and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

In the case of proprietorships or partnerships, the heading would become owner’s or partners’ capital, and share capital becomes simply capital. If a company purchases shares of its own capital (subject to legal restrictions), these should be shown as “Treasury shares” and appear in the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Since this often requires a detailed presentation, it is generally only shown in full in the notes. Pay particular attention to the extensive disclosures specified in Handbook section 3240.

Under differential reporting an enterprise may elect to disclose information only for classes of shares that have been issued.

3240.24

Contributed surplus XFI 3250.05* or 3251.03

Government grants and assistance confer a benefit on the business; accordingly they should be reflected in income sooner or later. It is the economic substance associated with government grants and assistance that determines appropriate accounting treatment.

Government grants and assistance related to non-capital items should be included in the determination of net income for the period. Their presentation in the statement of income, depending on the circumstances, would be to disclose expenses net of grants and assistance, or to disclose grants and assistance as a deduction from aggregate expenses, or as revenue. Where government grants and assistance relate to future periods, the appropriate amounts should be deferred and amortized to income as the related expenses are incurred.

Amounts deferred, period of amortization, and the basis of amortization should be disclosed. Government grants and assistance provided for the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment should be either deducted from the related property, plant, and equipment with any amortization calculated on the net amount or deferred and amortized to income on the same basis as the related property, plant, and equipment are being amortized.

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and

c) for which discrete financial information is available.

An enterprise should disclose separately information about each operating segment that has been identified in accordance with 1701.10–.15 or that results from aggregating two or more of those segments in accordance with paragraph 1701.18, and exceeds the quantitative thresholds in paragraph 1701.19.

Dividends 3610.01, .02(f)

Notes:

A company classified as a private corporation under the Income Tax Act can receive a refund of a portion of the income taxes it has paid at a rate of $1 for each $3 of taxable dividends paid if the company is still a private corporation at the end of the year in which dividends are paid. Since the payment and refund of these taxes relate to the payment of dividends which are usually charged to retained earnings, refundable taxes should be charged to retained earnings when it is more likely than not that they will be recovered in the foreseeable future. The recovery of such taxes should be credited to retained earnings. Charges and recoveries of refundable taxes should be disclosed separately. While there is not requirement to disclose the accumulated amount of refundable taxes, it may be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

3465.71-.73

An enterprise should present earnings per share information when it has:

a) issued common shares or potential common shares that are traded in a public market (a domestic or a foreign stock exchange or in an over-the-counter market, including local and regional markets); or

b) made a filing or is in the process of filing with a securities commission in preparation for the sale of those securities in a public market.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT

Term Handbook

CASH FLOW STATEMENT 1540

Acceptable alternative:

Statement of cash flow

Notes:

A cash flow statement should be presented as an integral part of the financial statements for each period for which financial statements are presented, unless the reporting enterprise is not a public enterprise and the required cash flow information is readily apparent from the other financial statements or is adequately disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a cash flow statement is not presented, the reason should be disclosed.

1540.03

The cash flow statement should report cash flows during the period classified by operating, investing and financing activities.

1540.12

Two methods may be used to report cash flows from operating activities — the indirect or direct method. Although the “preferred” method is the direct method, many companies continue to use the indirect. The model financial statements therefore demonstrate both.

1540.20

An enterprise should present separately, major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments arising from investing and financing activities, except to the extent that cash flows described in paragraphs 1540.25 and 1540.27 are presented on a net basis.

1540.23

Cash flows arising from each of the following operating, investing or financing activities may be reported on a net basis:

1540.25

a) cash receipts and payments on behalf of customers when the cash flows reflect the activities of the customer rather than those of the enterprise; and

b) cash receipts and payments for items in which the turnover is quick, the amounts are large and the maturities are short.

Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currency should be recorded in an enterprise's reporting currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the cash flow.

1540.28

Page 48: Model Financial Statements

40 Model Financial Statements

Term Handbook

The cash flows of integrated foreign operations as well as those arising from the investing and financing activities of self-sustaining foreign operations should be translated at the exchange rates between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the dates of the cash flows. Cash flows from the operating activities of self-sustaining foreign operations should be translated at the exchange rates at which the respective items are translated for income statement purposes.

1540.29

Cash flow amounts per share (or per unit) should not be disclosed in financial statements, except that an enterprise may disclose per-share (or per-unit) amounts payable to owners.

1540.53

When an enterprise makes a cash distribution on a financial instrument classified as equity, and the distribution is determined in accordance with a contractual agreement or relevant constating documents (for example, a distribution clause in an income trust or real estate trust deed or declaration), the following disclosure is required:

1540.55

a) the terms and conditions that apply to the determination of the cash distribution;

b) the total cash distribution; and

c) the extent to which the distribution is non-discretionary.

The cash flows associated with extraordinary items should be classified as arising from operating, investing or financing activities as appropriate and separately presented on a before-tax basis.

1540.32

Cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid and included in the determination of net income should be classified as cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from interest and dividends paid and included in the determination of net income should be disclosed separately. Interest and dividends not included in the determination of net income should be classified according to their nature. Dividends and interest paid and charged to retained earnings should be presented separately as cash flows used in financing activities. Cash flows from dividends paid by subsidiaries to non-controlling interests should be presented separately as cash flows used in financing activities.

1540.34 – 35

Cash flows arising from income taxes should be separately disclosed and should be classified as cash flows from operating activities unless they can be specifically identified with financing and investing activities, in which case they may be classified accordingly.

1540.38

Page 49: Model Financial Statements

Model Financial Statements 41

Term Handbook

When using the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities, supplementary disclosure is required for cash flows from interest received and paid and for cash flows from income taxes. When using the direct method, these amounts are separately disclosed as required without the need for supplementary disclosure.

1540.34, .38

The aggregate cash flows arising from each business combination accounted for using the purchase method and disposals of business units should be presented separately and classified as cash flows from investing activities. An enterprise should disclose, in aggregate, in respect of business combinations accounted for using the purchase method and disposals of business units during the period, each of the following:

a) the total purchase or disposal consideration; 1540.42 – 43

b) the portion of the purchase or disposal consideration composed of cash and cash equivalents;

c) the amount of cash and cash equivalents acquired or disposed of; and

d) the total assets, other than cash or cash equivalents and total liabilities acquired or disposed of.

Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash or cash equivalents should be excluded from a cash flow statement. Such transactions should be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements in a way that provides all the relevant information about these investing and financing activities.

1540.46

An enterprise should disclose the components of cash and cash equivalents and should present a reconciliation of the amounts in its cash flow statement with the equivalent items presented in the balance sheet, as well as the policy which it adopts in determining the composition of cash and cash equivalents. The amount of cash and cash equivalents for which use is restricted should also be disclosed.

1540.48 – 50

Operating activities 1540.15–.17

Examples of cash flows from operating activities are:

a) cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services;

b) cash receipts from royalties, fees, commissions and other revenue;

c) cash payments to suppliers for goods and services;

d) cash payments to and on behalf of employees;

e) cash receipts and payments of interest and dividends included in the determination of net income;

f) cash receipts and payments of an insurance enterprise for premiums and claims, annuities and other policy benefits;

g) cash payments and refunds of income and other taxes; and

a) cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets. These payments include those relating to capitalized development costs and self-constructed property, plant and equipment including interest paid and capitalized before the assets are substantially complete and ready for productive use;

b) cash receipts from sales of property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets;

c) cash payments to acquire equity or debt instruments of other enterprises and interests in joint ventures (other than payments for those instruments considered to be cash equivalents or those held for trading purposes);

d) cash receipts from sales of equity or debt instruments of other enterprises and interests in joint ventures (other than receipts for those instruments considered to be cash equivalents and those held for trading purposes);

e) cash advances and loans made to other parties;

f) cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to other parties;

g) cash payments for futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts except when the contracts are held for trading purposes, or the payments are classified as financing activities; and

h) cash receipts from futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts except when the contracts are held for trading purposes, or the receipts are classified as financing activities.

Financing activities 1540.19

Examples of cash flows arising from financing activities are:

a) cash proceeds from issuing equity instruments;

b) cash payments to owners to acquire or redeem the enterprise's shares;

c) cash proceeds from issuing debentures, loans, notes, bonds, mortgages and other short or long-term borrowings including deposits accepted by a financial institution;

SAMPLE NOTES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) on a going-concern basis which assumes that the company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. If the going-concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments may be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used. (Provide an explanation of any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the statements are not prepared on a going concern basis, disclose that fact and the reason why the entity is not regarded as a going concern.) Going-concern (when going-concern problems exist)

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles that are applicable to a company that will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations (a “going concern”). However, the use of generally accepted accounting principles that are applicable to a going concern is potentially inappropriate as there is significant doubt concerning the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Considering the operating losses accumulated in the last five years and the deficiency of working capital, the company’s ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities depends on the continued support of the shareholders and the refinancing of long-term debt which amounts to $ XXX, maturing on [insert month, day, and year]. Management has adopted a plan to rationalize its expenses to face these circumstances and is confident that the necessary financing can be obtained from shareholders and a lending institution. The financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going-concern assumption were not appropriate, as management believes that the measures described above will mitigate the effect of the conditions that raise doubt about the appropriateness of this assumption. Use of estimates

When preparing financial statements according to Canadian GAAP, we make estimates and assumptions relating to:

• Reported amounts of revenue and expenses • Reported amounts of assets and liabilities • Disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities We base our assumptions on a number of factors including historical experience, current events, actions that the company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different conditions and assumptions. We use estimates when accounting for certain items such as useful lives of capital assets, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, employee future benefits allowance for doubtful accounts, and provision for slow-moving inventories and income taxes. Employee future benefits

The Company maintains a defined benefit plan that provides pension benefits for almost all of its employees. Benefits are based on length of service and average rate of pay during the last five years of service. Employees are not required to contribute to the plan. The plan provides increasing pension benefits to protect against inflation. The Company is responsible for adequately funding the pension plan. Contributions are made based on various actuarial

Page 53: Model Financial Statements

46 Model Financial Statements

cost methods that are permitted by pension regulatory bodies. Contributions reflect actuarial assumptions about future investment returns, salary projections, and future service benefits. The Company accrues its obligation under the employee benefit plan and related costs, net of the fair value of plan assets. Actuaries determine pension costs using:

• the projected benefit method, prorated on years of service, which takes into account future salary levels; • a discount rate based on market interest rates on high-quality bonds with maturities that match the timing and

benefits expected to be paid by the plan; and • management’s best estimate of the plan’s expected investment performance, salary increases and retirement ages

of employees. Pension plan assets are valued at fair value, which is determined using current market values. A market-related value is used to calculate the expected return on plan assets. This value is based on a four-year weighted average of the fair value of plan assets. Past service costs from plan amendments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees who are active on the day of the amendment but not fully eligible to receive benefits. This represents the time period over which economic benefits are expected from the amendments. The corridor approach is used to recognize actuarial gains and losses into earnings. First, 10 years of the benefit obligation or market-related value of plan assets, whichever is greater, is deducted from the unamortized net actuarial gain or loss. Then the excess is amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees. This ranged from 11 to 18 years, with a weighted average of 15 years at the end of 20XX. December 31 is the measurement date of the benefits plan. Actuaries perform a valuation at least every three years to determine the actuarial present value of the accrued pension benefits. The last actuarial valuation was performed on January 1, 20XX. Differential reporting

a) Subsidiaries The Company has elected to account for subsidiaries using the cost method. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a non-consolidated basis.

b) Investments subject to significant influence The Company has elected to use the cost method to account for investments subject to significant influence that would otherwise be accounted for by the equity method.

c) Interest in joint ventures The Company has elected to account for interests in joint ventures using the cost method. Accordingly, these interests are not proportionately consolidated.

d) Goodwill The Company has elected to test goodwill for impairment only when an event or circumstance occurs that indicates that the fair value may be less than its carrying amount, rather than testing for impairment annually.

e) Intangible assets The Company has elected to test intangible assets not subject to amortization for impairment only when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, rather than testing for impairment annually.

The Company recognizes and reports financial instruments in accordance with the standards in the Handbook – Accounting XFI, and has chosen not to adopt the new standards for recognizing fair value and reporting comprehensive income, which are optional for private companies. Foreign currency

Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated to Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. Amortization and property write-downs are translated at the same exchange rate as the assets to which they relate. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in the determination of net earnings for the year. Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue when earned, specifically when all the following conditions are met:

• Services are provided or products are delivered to customers. • There is clear evidence that an arrangement exists. • Amounts are fixed or can be determined. • Our ability to collect is reasonably assured. • There is no significant obligation for future performance. • The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. We record payments received in advance including upfront non-refundable payments as deferred revenues until we provide the service or deliver the product to customers. Cash and cash equivalents

We classify highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash and cash equivalents.

INVESTMENTS

Equity Method

We use the equity method to record investments in entities subject to significant influence. We use the cost method for our investment in all other companies. The investment is initially recorded at cost and adjustments are made to include our share of the investee’s net earnings or losses. These adjustments are included in our net earnings. The amount of our investment is reduced by any dividends received or receivable from the investment. Cost Method

The investment is recorded at cost. Dividends received or receivable from the investment are included in the net earnings with no adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. Held-for-trading financial assets

We value these investments at market value. The resulting gain and loss is taken to the income statement. Held-to-maturity financial assets

Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity. We have the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. These are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less any impairment loss. A gain or loss is recognized in net income when the financial asset or liability is derecognized or impaired, and through the amortization process. Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale, or that are not classified loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and held-for-trading. They are measured at fair value, which is determined based on market prices. Gains or losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income until the financial asset is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the accumulated other comprehensive income should be recognized in net income for the period. Inventory

Raw materials and supplies are valued at the lower of weighted average cost and replacement cost. Work in process and finished goods are valued at the lower of weighted average variable costs and net realizable value. Loans receivable and allowance for loan losses

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is recognized over the term of the loan and is calculated using the simple-interest method on outstanding principal amounts. Allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net recoveries). Our periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on past loan-loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Accrual of interest on a loan is discounted when management believes, after considering economics, business conditions, and collection efforts that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Uncollectible interest previously accrued is charged off, or an allowance is established by means of a charge to interest income. Income is subsequently recognized to the extent cash payments are received until, in our judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal, in which case the loan is returned to the accrual status.

Property, plant and equipment

We have recorded property, plant and equipment at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates and methods over their estimated useful lives as follows, except in the year of acquisition when one half of the rate is used. We review the estimates of useful lives of the assets every year and adjust them on prospective basis, if needed.

Building 5% straight line Machinery and equipment 20% declining balance Machinery under capital lease 20% declining balance We record machinery under capital leases and related obligation of future lease payments initially at an amount equal to the lesser of fair value of the machinery and the present value of those lease payments. We classify major spare parts and standby equipment as property, plant and equipment when we expect to use them during more than one period. Similarly, if the spare parts and servicing equipment can be used only in connection with an item of property, plant and equipment, they are accounted for as property, plant and equipment1. We review for impairment of property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset during the year no impairment occurred. Intangible assets

We record intangible assets at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates calculated to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Patents 17 years straight line Copyrights 15 years straight line Finite life intangibles noted as above are tested for impairment when the events or changes in the circumstances indicate the carrying values will not be recoverable. Indefinite life intangibles are not amortized and tested for annual impairment. Goodwill

Goodwill is reported at cost less the amortization that was recorded prior to adoption in 2003 of the policy to discontinue amortizing goodwill. In accordance with the differential reporting option for goodwill, the company did not test goodwill for impairment in 2003 or at any time since that date. Income taxes (Where the differential reporting option for income taxes is not used)

We have adopted the future taxes method of reporting income taxes in accordance with the Canadian generally accepted accounting principles in the Handbook – Accounting, and no longer report income taxes using the differential reporting option. This change in accounting policy has been applied retroactively and the comparative statements have been restated accordingly. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

1. For Publicly Accountable Enterprise (PAE)

For its own purposes, the company defines capital as the sum of mortgages and loans payable, and shareholders’ equity including share capital, contributed surplus, and accumulated other comprehensive income.

1 Handbook s. 3061.04, accounting revision release no. 45, June 2007

Page 57: Model Financial Statements

50 Model Financial Statements

2XX9 2XX8

Mortgages and loans payable $ xxx $ xxx Share capital xxx xxx Contributed surplus xxx xxx Accumulated other comprehensive income xxx xxx

Total capital $ xxx $ xxx The company’s objectives when managing capital are to continue as a going concern to protect its ability to meet its ongoing liabilities, and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, and following internally determined capital guidelines based on risk management policies. The capital for the company's current expansion plan has been raised primarily from net proceeds from the recent issuance of common shares. The net proceeds raised will only be sufficient to identify and evaluate a limited number of exploration assets and businesses for the process of identifying and completing a transaction. The company is subject to the following financial covenants in its mortgage and loans payable:

• Debt service coverage — calculated as net earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization divided by the sum of interest expense and principal repayments; according to the covenant, the minimum debt service coverage is xx.

• Interest coverage — calculated as net earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization divided by interest expense; according to the covenant, the minimum interest coverage is xx.

• Debt to equity ratio — calculated as the total debt divided by total shareholders’ equity. According to the covenant, the maximum debt to equity ratio is xx%.

As of (financial statement date), the company complied with all financial covenants and externally imposed capital requirements.

2. For Non-Publicly Accountable Enterprise (NPAE) — not in compliance with covenants

The loan covenants covering our line of credit and long-term bank loan require that we maintain a total debt to equity ratio of no more than xx%. Debt includes any outstanding amount on the line of credit, plus the amount of principal outstanding (including current portion) on the term loan. At year end, the company total debt to equity ratio, calculated in accordance with the covenant, was xx%. Therefore, the company was not in compliance with the restriction. The covenant provides that, at the banks discretion, the full amount of the debt becomes due and payable on demand. Therefore, we have classified the full amount of the bank loan as a current liability. At the date these financial statements were issued, the bank has not demanded repayment. The company is in continuing discussion with the bank.

3. For Non-Publicly Accountable Enterprise (NPAE) — in compliance with covenants

The loan covenants covering our line of credit and long-term bank loan require that we maintain a total debt to equity ratio of no more than xx%. Debt includes any outstanding amount on the line of credit, plus the amount of principal outstanding (including current portion) on the term loan. At year end, the company total debt to equity ratio, calculated in accordance with the covenant, was xx%. Therefore, the company was in compliance with the restriction.

$ 896,390 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 31, 20XX, management adopted a formal plan to dispose of the Company’s manufacturing division. Management is currently negotiating the sale and expects to complete the transaction by May 15, 20XX. The results of operations for this division for the period August 1, 20XX to July 31, 20XX are included in discontinued operations — operating net income (loss). Comparative figures have been restated to conform to this basis of presentation. The 20XX operating income is net of a tax recovery of $ X,XXX (20XX tax provision — $X,XXX). Revenue for the year amounted to $XX,XXX (20XX — $ XX,XXX). The net loss from discontinued operations includes a tax recovery in the amount $ X,XXX. Net loss from discontinued operations is comprised of:

Loss from operations for the period August 1, 20XX to December 31, 20XX (net of income taxes of $ X,XXX) $ X,XXX Write-down of assets held for sale to net realizable value (gross proceeds of $ XXX net of income taxes of $ XXX) X,XXX

The Company’s financial instruments consist of marketable securities, receivables, short-term indebtedness, payables, long-term debt, and related-party loans. Unless otherwise noted, it is our opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of the instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. The Company is exposed to financial risk that arises from the fluctuation in interest rates and in the credit quality of its customers. Credit risk

Our credit risk consists principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and other investments, and accounts receivable. We maintained cash and cash equivalents with reputable and major financial institutions. The investments include commercial papers and investments issued by high-credit quality corporations and financial institutions. We consider the risk of non-performance of these instruments to be remote. There is no customer comprising more than xx% of the total trade account receivable. There is no particular concentration of credit risk. We perform an ongoing credit review of all our customers and establish allowance for doubtful debts when the amounts are not collectible. In addition, we have entered into an agreement with Export Development Corporation where it has assumed the risk credit loss in case of bankruptcy for up to xx% of the accounts receivable from certain foreign and domestic customers to a maximum of $xxx in a given year. As of month, day, year accounts receivable (before allowance) include accounts totalling $xxxx, that were pre-approved for coverage subject to above-noted maximum, under the agreement. We have also entered into derivative contracts to mitigate the credit risk, described in detail in note 28. Currency risk

We are exposed to currency risk as a certain portion of our sales and expenses are incurred in U.S. dollars resulting in U.S.-denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. In addition, certain cash and cash equivalents are denominated in U.S. dollars. These balances are therefore subject to gain or losses due to fluctuations in that currency. We have entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts, described in note 28, to mitigate these risks. Interest rate risk

We are exposed to interest risk with respect to the following financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents Held-for-trading Bank indebtedness Obligations under capital lease We have entered into interest rate derivative contracts to mitigate this risk. Fair value

Our cash and cash equivalents, short-term and other investments accounts receivable, and accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are short-term financial instruments whose fair value approximates their carrying values.

Page 63: Model Financial Statements

56 Model Financial Statements

The fair value of long-term debt (except notes payable), obligations under capital lease, and other long-term liabilities was determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates which we could obtain for loans and with similar terms, conditions, and maturity dates. There are no significant differences between fair value and carrying value of long-term debt (other than note payable) and obligation under capital lease as at month/day/year. The fair value of note payable and due to related party is not readily obtainable. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company has been named as defendant in a number of lawsuits. Claims in excess of $x and with an unfavorable outcome in one or more of these actions could have a material effect on these financial statements and impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Legal counsel to the Company is unable to assess its potential liability, if any, resulting from the lawsuits. No provision for possible loss has been included in these financial statements. COMMITMENTS

As at December 29, 20XX, the Company had commitments of $ XX,XXX,XXX (20XX — $ XX,XXX,XXX) for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, and the expansion of retail store facilities. Also, the Company has spent $ X,XXX,XXX and expects to spend an additional amount of approximately $ X,XXX,XXX with respect to the completion of a new warehouse. COMPARATIVE FIGURES

Some of the prior year’s figures have been restated for comparative purposes and to conform to current year presentation. FUTURE CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Management of capital

For fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007, required disclosure includes information that will enable users to evaluate the entity’s objectives, policies, and processes for managing capital. (Handbook s. 1535) This disclosure should include at least:

• a description of the items managed by the entity as its capital (e.g., shareholders’ equity or shareholders’ equity plus subordinated debt, etc.),

• the nature of any external capital requirements (e.g., a maximum debt-to-equity ratio required by a financial institution to support outstanding debt) and how those requirements are incorporated into its capital management,

• a description of the entity’s capital management objectives (e.g., to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, to provide a return on investment to shareholders, etc.) and how it meets those objectives (e.g., by pricing its products or services competitively, by adjusting dividends paid to shareholders, by selling assets to reduce debt, etc.),

• any changes in the above since the previous financial statements, • whether externally imposed requirements, if any, were met during the year, and • if any externally imposed requirements were not met, a description of the consequences. The effect of adopting this new standard will not be significant.

To the Board of Directors

Sample Review Ltd.

We have reviewed the balance sheet of Sample Review Ltd. as at [Month, Day, Year] and the statements of

income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flow for the year then ended. Our review

consisted primarily of enquiry, analytical procedures, and discussion related to information supplied to us by

the Company.

A review does not constitute an audit, and consequently, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial

statements.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these financial statements

are not, in all material respects, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Sample Review Ltd. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Month, Day, Year

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of [province] on [Month, Day, Year]. Its main business activity is selling widgets. 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Income tax

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount are used to calculate future income tax assets or liabilities, and are measured using substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which such temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value using FIFO. Investments in Financial Instruments Qualifying financial instruments that the Company initially intends to hold for: 1) less than one year are

designated as held-for-trading; 2) one year or more are designated as available-for-sale. Transaction costs are expensed when incurred.

Income from held-for-trading securities and gains and losses whether realized or unrealized are reported in net income. Income from available-for-sale securities and realized gains and losses are reported in net income. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income unless there is an impairment in value that is judged to be other than temporary in nature. Impairment losses are reported in net income. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. They are not designated as held-for-trading.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates calculated to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows, except in the year of acquisition when one half of the rate is used. Automotive 30% declining balance Computer equipment 30% declining balance Office equipment 20% declining balance Leasehold improvements 20% straight line

for more than one year.

Year Prior Due from XXX Inc. $ 5,400 $ 5,400 Due to YYY Co. $ 13,500 $ 25,000

7. DUE TO SHAREHOLDERS

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Year Prior

Supplemental Disclosure for Financial Instruments:

Net gain (loss) on held-for-trading financial assets originally designated as such upon initial recognition $ 1,000 Nil Total interest income using the effective interest method on financial assets not classified as held-for trading Nil Nil Total interest expense using the effective interest method on financial liabilities $ 5,273 $ 4,900 Fair value The fair value of cash, accounts receivables, loan receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accruals approximate their carrying amount because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt, which currently approximates the amortized cost, is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for debt for the same maturity. The fair value of held-for-trading and available-for-sale financial instruments is determined by referring to published market prices in active markets. Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments Our maximum credit risk for Year was $80,105 (Prior $60,585), which is the total of our cash on deposit, investments, loan receivable, and accounts receivable at the respective year ends. This is a very unlikely, worst case scenario that assumes that all creditors default on their obligations and that we are unable to recover any funds through legal action or other collection activity. Company’s management has determined that, in light of the straight-forward nature of our operations, and the policies to mange risk that are in place, our exposure to these various risks is not material. Accordingly, we have not provided the supplemental disclosure that would otherwise be required by virtue of CICA 3862.36-.42.

10. COMMITMENTS

The company leases its premises at 111 – 49th St. for $ 4,500 per annum. The lease expires in Year 3. Future minimum lease payments are as follows:

Year 1 $ 4,500 Year 2 4,500

Year 3 4,500 $ 13,500

11. CAPITAL

Pursuant to an agreement dated January 1, Year, with the Company’s Bank, the Company must maintain its capital at a minimum of $20,000 at all times with capital defined as the sum of share capital, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, and postponed shareholders’ loans.

The Company was in compliance with the Bank’s stipulated minimum capital requirements at all times during the year. Capital, as defined by the Bank at Year end and Prior was as follows: Year Prior Share capital $ 100 $ 100 Retained earnings 16,579 6,915 Accumulated other comprehensive income (750) 0 Postponed shareholders’ loans 6,505 22,000 Total capital $ 22,434 $ 29,015

Sample Review Ltd. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Month, Day, Year

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT WOULD AFFECT DISCLOSURE: In accordance with the CICA Handbook Abstract EIC-122, if the related-party loans and shareholder loans were secured by demand notes, the debt obligation would be considered a current liability unless the creditor has waived the right to demand payment for more than one year (or operating cycle, if longer) from the balance sheet date. If the Company had adopted differential reporting for share capital, the following modifications would have been required: 1. Modification to the first paragraph of Review Engagement Report: We have reviewed the balance sheet of Sample Review Ltd. as at [Month, Day, Year] and the statements of

income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flow for the year then ended. These

financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles

using differential reporting options available to non-publicly accountable enterprises, as described in Note 1 to

the financial statements. Our review was made in accordance with Canadian generally accepted standards for

review engagements and, accordingly, consisted primarily of enquiry, analytical procedures, and discussion

related to information supplied to us by the Company.

2. Addition to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Share capital The Company has elected to apply the differential disclosure option allowed for share capital and, accordingly, to disclose information only for classes of shares that have been issued. Information is not provided when shares of an authorized class have not been issued.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts and salaries and bonus payable, long-term debt, and shareholder loans. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of the instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. The fair value of long-term debt, which currently approximates the amortized cost, is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for debt for the same maturity. Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments The Company is exposed to financial risk that arises from the fluctuation in interest rates and in the credit quality of its customers. Interest rate risk is minimized through management’s constant review of demand and maturing debt. The Company structures its finances so as to stagger the maturities of debt, thereby minimizing exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Credit risk exists in that a significant majority of the Company’s receivables is held by one department franchise and is concentrated in the retail industry. The Company mitigates this risk through diversification of its customer base, limiting its exposure to any one customer and maintaining strict collection procedures. The Company’s maximum credit risk for Year was $1,467 (Prior $1,409) which is the total of the Company’s cash on deposit and accounts receivable at the respective year ends. The Company’s management has determined that, in light of the straightforward nature of its operations, and the policies to manage risk that are in place, the Company’s exposure to these various risks is not material. Accordingly, the supplemental disclosure that would otherwise be required by virtue of CICA 3862.36-.42 has not been provided.

8. CAPITAL

Pursuant to an agreement dated January 1, Prior, with the Company’s Bank, the Company must maintain its capital at a minimum of $1,000,000 at all times with capital defined as the sum of share capital, contributed surplus, and retained earnings. The Company was in compliance with the Bank’s stipulated minimum capital requirements at all times during the year.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of Canada on [Month, Day, Year]. Its main business activities are the development of software and the processing of non-marketable lumber into woodchips.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and all its subsidiaries. On consolidation, all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in entities subject to significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Foreign currency translation of integrated foreign operations Using the temporal method, foreign monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates unless they are carried at “market” in which case the rates at the balance sheet date are used. Revenue and expense items are translated using the rate in effect on the date of the transaction, except for amortization, which is translated at the same rate as the asset to which it applies. Hedging instruments1 Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. For fair value hedges, where the Company is hedging changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments, the change in the value of derivatives and hedged items is recorded in the consolidated statement of income. For cash flow hedges where the Company is hedging the variability in cash flows related to, liabilities or forecasted transactions, the effective portion of the changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Inventory Raw materials, supplies, work in process and finished goods are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Investments Qualifying financial instruments are accounted for as follows: • Equity securities of a speculative nature are classified as held-for-trading and reported at fair value.

Income and gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are reported in net income.

Sample Audit Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Month, Day, Year 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

• Equity securities of well-established firms are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. Income and realized gains and losses are reported in net income. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income unless there is an impairment in value that is judged to be other than temporary in nature. Impairment losses are reported in net income.

• Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. Unrealized gains and

losses are ignored unless there is an impairment in value that is judged to be of other than a temporary nature. Impairment losses are reported in net income.

• Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Investments in companies subject to significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. A proportionate share of their gain or loss is reported in net income. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. None have been designated as held-for-trading. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates calculated to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows: Natural resource basis of resources used per year Building 5% straight line Machinery and equipment 20% declining balance Machinery under capital lease 20% declining balance Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates calculated to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows: Patents 17 years straight line Franchise 1 15 years straight line Franchise 2 20 years straight line Income taxes [Guidance (see also note 28): You would use one or the other, depending on the nature of the enterprise.] The asset and liability method of tax allocation is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax basis of an asset and a liability and its carrying amount on the balance sheet are used to calculate future income tax assets or liabilities. Future income tax assets or liabilities are calculated using tax rates anticipated to be in effect in the periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in income tax rates on future income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs.

Model Financial Statements 119

Sample Audit Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Month, Day, Year 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that cost may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset is greater than the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be provided by the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates are: useful lives of plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, employee future benefits, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

9. GOODWILL

Goodwill representing the excess of the cost of net identifiable assets of subsidiaries over their fair value as of the date of acquisition is tested annually for impairment. The test is performed more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. On Month, Day, Year (end of year), a test for impairment revealed that an impairment loss of $xx had occurred. On Month, Day, Year (end of year), a test for impairment was conducted. The increasing availability of satellite technology in rural service areas, Sample Audit Inc.’s market, and restrictions on mineral extraction, have led to reduced demand and increasing production costs for after-market software. Quarterly profits in this segment declined throughout the year; this trend is expected to continue. The impairment test confirmed that an impairment loss of $xx had occurred.

remaining service period of the active employee group covered by the plan (approximately 11 years); and

• The amortization of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the accrued benefit obligation or market-related values of plan assets, at the beginning of the year, over the average remaining service period of the active employee group covered by the plan.

22. CORRECTION OF ERROR Income tax expense was incorrectly calculated in Prior. The financial statements of Prior have been restated to correct this error. The effect of the restatement is that the balance of retained earnings at the beginning of Year has been reduced by $xxxx, which is the amount by which income taxes as at that date have been increased. There is no effect on this year’s income.

23. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective the beginning of Year, the Company changed its accounting policy for the treatment of borrowing costs related to a plant under construction for use by the Company. Previously, the Company capitalized such costs. They are now written off as expenses as incurred. Management judges that this policy provides reliable and more relevant information because it results in a more transparent treatment of finance costs and is consistent with local industry practice, making the Company’s financial statements more comparable. This change in accounting policy has been accounted for retrospectively, and the comparative statements for Prior have been restated. The effect of the change on Prior is tabulated below. Opening retained earnings for Prior have been reduced by $xxx, which is the amount of the adjustment relating to periods before Prior.

Fair value

The fair value of cash, accounts receivables, loan receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable, and accruals approximates their carrying amount because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt, which currently approximates the amortized cost, is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for debt for the same maturity. The fair value of held-for-trading, available-for-sale, and held-to-maturity financial instruments, including derivatives, is determined by referring to published market prices in active markets. Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks that arise from owning financial instruments. These risks include credit risk; currency risk; interest rate risk; liquidity risk; market risk; and other price risks as described below. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to material credit, currency, interest, liquidity, market, or other price risks arising from these financial instruments. The Company’s objectives towards managing risk arising from financial instruments is to minimize it to the greatest extent possible giving due consideration for cost benefit considerations. A general description of the processes used follows. The Company’s objectives, policies, and processes, for managing and measuring the various risks arising from the financial instruments have not changed from the previous period.

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d)

Credit risk (default risk) is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company mitigates credit risk on its receivables through diversification of its customer base and limiting its exposure to any one customer. The Company minimizes its credit exposure on derivative contracts by entering into transactions only with counterparties that are major investment-grade international financial institutions. Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The company manages this risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. For liabilities, interest rate risk is minimized through management’s constant review of demand and maturing debt. The Company structures its finances so as to stagger the maturities of debt, thereby minimizing exposure to interest rate fluctuations. For assets, this risk is reduced by diversifying the durations of the fixed-income investments that are held at a given time. Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company obviates liquidity risk by closely monitoring its working capital position, ensuring sufficient cash, cash equivalents, or readily marketable securities, are available to meet all liabilities when due. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk. The Company manages these individual risks as described elsewhere in this section. Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company manages other price risk through asset allocation and maintaining a portfolio that is well diversified on both a geographic and industry sector basis.

Derivative financial instruments1 Company’s subsidiaries operate in North America and Europe, with manufacturing and sales facilities in various locations on these continents. Company and its subsidiaries utilize certain derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency and commodity exposure.

Derivative financial instruments are financial contracts that derive their value from underlying changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or other financial measures. Such instruments include interest rate, foreign exchange, and commodity contracts. The Company uses these instruments to manage the risks associated with its funding and investing strategies or for trading purposes. The primary currencies to which Company is exposed include the U.S. Dollar and the Euro. At Year End and Prior, Company had foreign exchange forward and option agreements with notional amounts of $xxx and $xxx, respectively.

Hedging relationships The CICA requirements for accounting for hedging relationships set out the criteria that must be met in order to apply hedge accounting for derivatives. The rules provide detailed guidance on hedging forecast transactions and the identification, designation, documentation, and testing of the effectiveness of hedging relationships, for purposes of applying or discontinuing hedge accounting. The Company’s non-trading derivatives that have been designated in a hedging relationship and meet the effectiveness test are considered effective under the guideline. The effective portion of unrealized gains and losses associated with forward and option contracts are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying hedged transactions are reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. Derivatives held for non-trading purposes Derivatives used for risk management purposes are generally classified by the Company as non-trading derivatives and receive hedge accounting treatment. For non-trading derivatives to receive hedge accounting treatment, the hedging relationship must be documented at inception and the non-trading derivative and the hedged exposure must be highly and inversely correlated such that changes in the value of the non-trading derivative will substantially offset the effects of the hedged exposure to the Company throughout the term of the hedging relationship. If these criteria are not met, the resulting gains and losses are reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. A hedging relationship is terminated if the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective; if the underlying asset or liability is liquidated or terminated or it is no longer probable that the anticipated transaction will occur and the derivative is still outstanding; or if the hedging instrument is no longer designated as a hedging instrument. Non-trading derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. For fair value hedges, where the Company is hedging changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments, the change in the value of derivatives and hedged items is recorded in the consolidated statement of income. For cash flow hedges where the Company is hedging the variability in cash flows related to liabilities or forecasted transactions, the effective portion of the changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. At Year End and Prior, deferred net gains (losses) on derivative instruments of $(xx) and $xx respectively included in other comprehensive income are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next fiscal year. Cash flow hedges also include hedges of certain forecasted transactions up to a maximum of 24 years, although a substantial majority is less than three years. The ineffective portion of hedging derivative instruments’ changes in fair values are immediately recognized in income. For Year End, Company recognized pre-tax gains (losses) of nil (Prior — nil) for the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges. Derivatives held for trading purposes The Company enters into trading derivative contracts to meet the needs of its customers and to enter into trading positions, and in certain cases for risk management purposes. Trading derivatives are recorded at fair value with the resulting realized and unrealized gains or losses reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities held for trading purposes The change in the fair value of derivative financial liabilities that is attributable to changes in the liability's credit risk totaled $xxx for Year and $xxx cumulatively.

Sample Audit Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Month 26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d)

These amounts have been determined as the amount of change in the liability’s fair value that is not attributable to changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk estimated as follows: (a) The Company computes the liability’s internal rate of return at the start of the period using the observed market price of the liability and the liability’s contractual cash flows at the start of the period. Company then deducts from this rate of return the observed (benchmark) interest rate at the start of the period, to arrive at an instrument-specific component of the internal rate of return. (b) The Company calculates the present value of the cash flows associated with the liability using the liability’s contractual cash flows at the end of the period and a discount rate equal to the sum of (i) the observed (benchmark) interest rate at the end of the period and (ii) the instrument-specific component of the internal rate of return as determined in (a). (c) The difference between the observed market price of the liability at the end of the period and the amount determined in (b) is the change in fair value that is not attributable to changes in the observed (benchmark) interest rate. This is the amount disclosed above. Management considers that changes in fair value arising from factors other than changes in the instrument’s credit risk or changes in interest rates are insignificant. Quantitative disclosures of risks arising from financial instruments Credit Risk The maximum of our credit risk is as described below:

Category Carrying value Carrying value Credit risk Credit Risk (By type) Year $ Prior $ Year $ Prior $

Financial assets xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx measured at fair value Financial assets xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx measured at amortized cost

Total xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

The maximum credit risk assumes an extremely unlikely worst case scenario where all customers defaulted on their contractual obligations and the Company was unable to recover any monies through legal action or other collection methods. The credit quality of our financial assets is considered to be excellent. As previously discussed, the Company mitigates credit risk on its receivables through diversification of its customer base and limiting its exposure to any one customer. The Company minimizes its credit exposure on derivative contracts by entering into transactions only with counterparties that are major investment-grade international financial institutions. The Company restricts investments in debt instruments to those whose credit are independently rated to be of Investment Grade.

Value at risk is a technique that uses the statistical analysis of historical market trends and volatilities to estimate the likelihood that losses to the Company’s portfolio will exceed a certain amount. This measurement captures the interdependency of the three components of market risk: currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk. The use of this method assumes that historical results can be used to forecast future outcomes within a range of possibilities. The primary limitation of this method is that catastrophic events that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as 9/11, may result in an actual drop in value greater than the forecast maximum.

27. CAPITAL The Company’s objectives when managing capital are:

• to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders;

• to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk. The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt ÷ capital. Net debt is calculated as total debt (as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Capital comprises all components of equity. During Year, the Company's strategy, which was unchanged from Prior, was to maintain the debt-to- capital ratio at the lower end of the range 1.0:1 to 1.5:1, in order to secure access to financing at a reasonable cost by maintaining a BB credit rating. The debt-to-capital ratios at Year and at Prior were as follows:

Year Prior

Total debt xxx xxx

Less: cash and cash equivalents (xxx) (xxx)

Net debt xxx xxx

Capital Debt-to-capital ratio

xxx x.x:1

xxxx.x:1

The decrease in the debt-to-capital ratio during Year resulted primarily from the reduction in net debt that occurred on the sale of subsidiary Z.

require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are

free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts

and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and

significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the

Association as at [Month, Day, Year] and the results of its operations, changes in fund balances, and cash flow

for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The Capital Assets Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses related to the Sample Not-for-Profit Association’s capital asset expansion campaign. The Endowment Fund reports resources contributed for endowment. Investment income earned on resources of the Endowment Fund is reported in the General Fund unless otherwise restricted by contributors of funds for endowment. Capital assets

Purchased capital assets are recorded at cost. Contributed capital assets are recorded at fair value at the date of contribution. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which for buildings is 20 years and for equipment is 5 years. Amortization expense is reported in the Capital Assets Fund. Investments

The Sample Not-for-Profit Association invests only in debt instruments. These are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. Unrealized gains and losses are ignored unless there is an impairment in value that is judged to be of other than a temporary nature. Transaction costs are expensed when incurred. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. They are not designated as held-for-trading.

Revenue recognition

Restricted contributions related to general operations are recognized as revenue of the General Fund in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. All other restricted contributions are recognized as revenue of the appropriate restricted fund.

Fair Value The fair value of cash, accounts receivables, grant receivable, and accounts payable and accruals approximate their carrying amount because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the mortgage payable that currently approximates the amortized cost is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for mortgages for the same maturity. The fair value of held-to-maturity financial instruments is determined by referring to published market prices in active markets.

Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments The Sample Not-for-Profit Company’s maximum credit risk for Year was $567,000 (Prior $443,000), which is the total of its cash on deposit, accounts receivable, grant receivable, and investments at the respective year ends. This is a very unlikely, worst case scenario that assumes that all creditors default on their obligations and that Sample Not-for-Profit is unable to recover any funds through legal action or other collection activity.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont’d)

Unless noted elsewhere, it is management’s opinion that in light of the straightforward nature of the company’s operations, and the policies to manage risk that are in place, Sample Not-for-Profit’s exposure to credit, currency, interest, liquidity, market, and other price risks arising from these financial instruments is immaterial. Accordingly, the supplemental disclosure that would otherwise be required by virtue of CICA 3862.26-.42 has not been provided.

11. CAPITAL

The Sample Not-for-Profit’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that sufficient capital is retained to ensure the entity remains solvent so that it can fulfill its stated goals.

The Sample Not-for-Profit manages its capital structure by preparing a balanced budget on an annual basis. If it becomes apparent that revenues will fall short of those budgeted, discretionary expenses are curtailed so as to ensure that adequate capital is maintained. The Sample Not-for-Profit monitors capital on the basis of its total non-externally restricted Fund balances. During Year, the Sample Not-for-Profit's strategy, which was unchanged from Prior, was to maintain the total Funds not subject to external restrictions at a minimum of $250,000. Funds not subject to external restrictions at Year and at Prior were as follows:

Year ($000s) Prior ($000s)

Invested in capital assets 270 203

Internally restricted 15 0

Unrestricted 6 105

Total Funds not subject to external restrictions 291 308

The changes in Funds not subject to external restrictions are minor in nature; the resultant balance remains in excess of the targeted minimum.

International Financial Reporting Standards: A Resource Guide The Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) has mandated that Canadian GAAP for Publicly Accountable Enterprises (PAEs) will be replaced with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. IFRS, like Canadian GAAP for PAEs, is continuously changing. As such, IFRS at the required date of adoption will likely be slightly different than IFRS as we know it today. It is important that you keep this in mind as you review the various materials referenced here. The differences highlighted in the different adopted formats may have been modified since the publication of this guide. Accounting associations, practitioners, and text book publishers have all developed IFRS-related materials. The links provided below are not meant to be an exhaustive list. Rather, they are designed to give you a flavour for some of the resources available to you. AcSB Comparison of IFRSs and Canadian GAAP The first link to the Accounting Standards Board’s webpage includes a detailed comparison of the remaining differences between IFRSs and Canadian GAAP. The second is a link to their less comprehensive guide. Both comparisons are as at July 31, 2008. AcSB Comparison of IFRSs and Canadian GAAP AcSB Summary Comparison of IFRSs and Canadian GAAP AcSB International Activities Home Page The link that follows is to the AcSB International home page, which provides a wealth of information pertaining to the impending adoption of IFRS in Canada. AcSB International Activities Home Page IASB Home Page The link that follows is to the IASB home page where you can access details of IFRS updates and the status of other standards-related projects currently underway. IASB Home Page Deloitte The link to Deloitte’s IFRS webpage includes the presentation of various financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS, however, like Canadian GAAP, gives little direction with respect to the formatting of the financial statements. Historically when countries have adopted IFRS, the affected companies have maintained their traditional form of statement presentation. Thus, while the balance sheet of HKFRS as at December 31, 2008 lists non-current assets before current assets and equity before liabilities, it is probable that Canadian companies will continue to present current assets first.

Click on the link below to find out the award winners for Fiscal Periods Ending in 2007. Canadian Award for Financial Reporting winners Cautionary note: The standards issued in Revision Release No. 23 to the CICA Public Sector Accounting Handbook require the adoption of the full accrual basis of accounting for local governments. As these new standards are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the referenced statements do not fully reflect the adoption of the new standards. Nevertheless, these reports remain a valuable resource as they clearly demonstrate the form that well constructed financial statements and notes can take.
