SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation of the Municipality of Tweed are the representation of management prepared in accordance with accounting policies prescribed for local governments, as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Corporation are as follows: Reporting Entity The consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenditures of the reporting entity. The reporting entity is comprised of all organizations and enterprises accountable for the administration of their financial affairs and resources to the Corporation and which are owned or controlled by the Corporation. In addition to general government tax -supported operations, they include the following: The Corporation of the Municipality of Tweed Public Library Board Interdepartmental and organizational transactions and balances are eliminated. Accounting for County and School Board Transactions The assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenditures with respect to the operations of schools boards and the County of Hastings are not reflected in these consolidated financial statements. Trust Funds Trust funds and their related operations administered by the Corporation are not reflected in these consolidated financial statements, but are reported separately on the "Trust Funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Continuity". Basis of Accounting Revenues and expenditures are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable. Expenditures are recognized as they are incurred and measurable as a result of receipt of goods or services and a creation of a legal obligation to pay. Deferred Revenue The Corporation receives contributions under the authority of provincial legislation and funding agencies. These funds, by their nature, are restricted in their use, and, until applied to applicable projects, are recorded as deferred revenue. Amounts applied to projects are recorded as revenue in the fiscal period in which they are expended. .J8 Welch _.. ..... CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF TWEED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Reserves and Reserve Funds Certain amounts, as approved by Council, are set aside in reserves and reserve funds for future operating and capital expenditures. Transfer to, or from, reserves and reserve funds are an adjustment to the respective fund when approved. Government Transfers Government transfers are recognized as revenues or expenditures in the year that the events giving rise to the transfer occurred, provided the transfer is authorized, eligibility criteria, if any, have been met by the recipient, and a reasonable estimate of the amount can be made. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting policies for local governments, as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Management makes accounting estimates when determining the estimated useful life of the Corporation's tangible capital assets, its allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of its inventory and solid waste landfill closure and post -closure costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Taxation and Related Revenues Property tax billings are prepared by the Corporation based on assessment rolls issued by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation("MPAC"). Tax rates are established annually by Council incorporating amounts to be raised for local services and amounts the Corporation is required to collect on behalf of Hastings County for general and library purposes and the Province of Ontario in respect of education taxes. Realty taxes are billed based on the assessment rolls provided by MPAC. Taxation revenues are recorded at the time tax billings are issued. A normal part of the assessment process is the issue of supplementary assessment rolls that provide updated information with respect to changes in property assessments. Once a supplementary assessment roll is received, the Corporation determines the taxes applicable and renders supplementary billings. Assessments and the related property taxes are subject to appeal. Any supplementary billing adjustments made necessary by the determination of such changes will be recognized in the fiscal year they are determined and the effect shared with the county and school boards as appropriate. Non -Financial Assets Non -financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year, and are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations. The change in non -financial assets during the year, together with the annual surplus or deficit, provides the Change in Net Financial Assets for the year. Welch CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF TWEED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Tangible Capital Assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost, which includes all amounts that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. The cost, less residual value, of the tangible capital assets is amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life as follows: (a) Asset Categories and Estimated Useful Life Land - not amortized Buildings - 40 to 50 years Vehicles - 5 to 10 years Equipment - 4 to 20 years Transportation Bridges and other structures - 20 to 75 years Roads - 10 to 70 years Sidewalks - 40 years Waste and wastewater networks Underground networks - 50 years A full year of amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and none in the year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use, at which time the costs are transferred to the appropriate asset category. (b) Contribution of Tangible Capital Assets Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt and also are recorded as revenue. Similarly, transfer of assets to third parties are recorded as an expense equal to the net book value of the assets as of the date of transfer. Inventories of Supplies Inventories of supplies held for consumption are recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost. 2. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS During the year the Corporation prospectively adopted Public Sector Accounting Standards of the Chartered Professional Accountants Handbook, PS3410 Government transfers and PS3510 Tax revenue. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements, as a result of the adoption of these new standards. 3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Corporation's financial instruments consist of cash, taxes receivable, accounts receivable, long- term receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. .110 Welch CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF TWEED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 4.

ACCRUED LIABILITY - WASTE DISPOSAL CLOSURE The Ontario Environmental Protection Act sets out the regulatory requirements to properly close and maintain all active and inactive landfill sites. The estimated liability for these expenditures is recognized based on the cumulative capacity used to date, compared to the total estimated landfill capacity. Estimated total expenditures represent the sum of the future discounted cash flows for the closure and post -closure care discounted at 4% and using an assumed rate of 2% for inflation. The Corporation has two active and three closed landfill sites. For the closed sites, the estimated liability is recognized immediately. The estimated liability for the Marlbank and Hunt Road waste disposal sites is $612,000 based on the present value of closure and post -closure costs estimated at $1,095,496 The Marlbank Road Waste Disposal site has an estimated remaining capacity of 51% and is expected to provide capacity for 23 years based on current waste generation rates. The Hunt Road Waste Disposal site was closed to use by the public, but will remain open to dispose of waste by the Municipality until filled, has an estimated remaining capacity of 30% and is expected to provide capacity for 43 years based on current waste generation rates. A reserve fund of $801,737 has been established to provide for this liability and is reported in schedule 2 to the financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared by management using the cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting described in the notes to financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting described in the notes to financial statements; this includes determining that the cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for the preparation of the financial statements in the circumstances, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Corporation's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Basis of Accounting Capital receipts and income are reported on the cash basis of accounting. Expenditures are reported on the cash basis of accounting with the exception of administrative expenses which are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which recognizes expenditures as they are incurred and measurable as a result of the receipt of goods or services and the creation of a legal obligation to pay. 2. ONTARIO HOME RENEWAL PROGRAM The Ontario Home Renewal Program was established by the Ontario Ministry of Housing in 1973 to provide grants for municipalities to make loans to assist owner occupants to repair, rehabilitate and improve their homes to local property standards. Individual loans are limited to $7,500 of which the maximum forgivable portion is $4,000. Ontario Home Renewal Program loans receivable at December 31, 2013 consist of repayable loans totalling $936 and forgivable loans totalling $NIL. Loan forgiveness is earned and recorded at a rate of up to $600 per year of continued ownership and occupancy. In the event that the home owner ceases to occupy the home, the balances of the repayable loan and the unearned forgivable loan immediately become due and payable. 29 Welch
