INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To: The Mayor and Council of the Corporation of the Village of Alert Bay We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Corporation of the Village of Alert Bay, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2013, and the statements of operations, cash flows, changes in net financial assets for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' 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 entity'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 entity'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 statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation of the Village of Alert Bay as at December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Other Matter The financial statements as at December 31, 2012 and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 22, 2013, expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2013 The CORPORATION OF THE VILLAGE OF ALERT BAY (the Village ) was incorporated in 1946 under the provisions of the British Columbia Municipal Act. Its principal activities are the provision of local government services to the residents of the Village. These services include general government administration, by-law enforcement, planning and land use, fire protection, parks and recreation, water distribution and sewer collection, wastewater disposal, garbage and recycling services, boat harbour service and maintenance and road and street maintenance. 1. Significant Accounting Policies a) Accounting policies It is the Village s policy to follow Canadian public sector accounting standards. b) Revenue recognition The Village recognizes taxes as assets and revenue when they meet the definition of an asset; are authorized by a legislature, council, or legislative convention; and the taxable event has occurred. Tax revenue is initially measured at management s best estimate of the amount resulting from the original taxable event in accordance with tax legislation. The related tax receivable is initially recognized at its realizable value at the date of acquisition. Government transfers are recognized as revenues during the period, in which the events giving rise to the transfer occur, provided the transfers are authorized, any eligibility criteria have been met and reasonable estimates of the amounts have been made. Restricted grants are recognized when the related expenditure is incurred and when collection is reasonably assured. Sewer and water fees are recognized when the service has been received by the customer. Other sales of services and other revenue are recognized when the service is provided or the amount is earned, when the amount can be estimated and when collection is reasonably assured. At each financial statement date, the Village evaluates the sales of services receivable for collectability and records a valuation allowance to reflect the receivable at its net recoverable amount, if necessary. Amounts received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue until the Village discharges the obligation that led to the collection of funds. c) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2013 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) c) Use of estimates (continued) Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relates to the collectability of accounts receivable, contaminated site clean-up costs and the provision for amortization. Actual results may vary from those estimates. Adjustments, if any, will be reflected in operations in the period of settlement. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. d) Accrued employee benefits Accrued employee benefits, which include an allowance for banked time, sick leave and vacation entitlement, are recorded in the year in which they are earned. These benefits are based on obligations as determined by contractual arrangements and Village policy. e) Pension Plan The Village s contributions due during the period to its multi-employer defined benefit plan are expensed as incurred. f) Environmental provisions The Village provides for the cost of compliance with environmental legislation when conditions are identified which indicate non-compliance and the cost of which can reasonably be determined. The estimated amounts of future restoration costs are reviewed regularly, based on available information and governing legislation. Where the costs are deemed to be likely and reasonably determinable, claims are reported as an operating expense and are shown as a liability on the Statement of Financial Position. g) Deferred revenue Receipts restricted by third parties are deferred and reported as deferred revenue and are refundable under certain circumstances. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures are incurred. h) Tangible capital assets Tangible capital assets, which includes assets under construction, that exceed the threshold of the asset category are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and are classified according to their functional use. Contributed tangible capital assets are recorded at fair value at the date of the contribution. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset commencing the year the asset is put into service. One half of the amortization is claimed in the first year of acquisition and in the last year.

Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2013 h) Tangible capital assets (continued) Estimated useful lives are as follows: Asset Type Depreciable Life in Years Buildings (depending on construction material) 40-50 Engineering Structures (depending on construction material) 10-50 Automotive 5-8 Machinery and Equipment 5-10 Parks Infrastructure 15-50 IT Infrastructure 4-10 Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense. Betterments which extend the estimated useful life of an asset or enhance the service potential of tangible capital assets and exceed the Village s internal capitalization threshold are capitalized. i) Recent accounting pronouncements In 2010, the Public Sector Accounting Board issued section PS 3260. This section addresses liabilities for remediation related to sites, or parts of a site no longer in active or productive use. Governments will be required to recognize a liability for contaminated sites when the government is responsible for, or accepts responsibility for, the contamination, and the contamination exceeds existing environmental standards. The amount recorded as a liability must be reasonably estimable and would include costs directly related to the remediation activities and post-remediation costs that are an integral part of the remediation strategy. Costs related to asset purchases to be used in the remediation would be included in the liability to the extent that the assets have no alternative use. Application of this section may be applied retroactively or prospectively as it represents a change in an accounting policy to conform to new Public Sector Accounting Standards. Section PS 3260 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2014; however early adoption is encouraged. Section PS 3260 will be applied prospectively at its implementation on January 1, 2014 by the Village. The Village recognized in the current period a liability associated with site contamination clean-up costs under Section PS 3200. See Note 4 for further details. 2. Cash and Equivalents Included in cash and equivalents is $353,717 (2012 - $259,934) held with the Municipal Finance Authority. 3. Investment The Village owns a 50% interest in the Historic Alert Bay Development Corporation, which was established under the Alert Bay Accord, an agreement between the Corporation of the Village of Alert Bay and the Namgis First Nation that was signed on September 20, 1999 and affirmed on March 31, 2012. Under this accord the parties agree to consult and coordinate their efforts in the areas of mutual interest for the development of the community of Alert Bay. The corporation is currently inactive. The investment is recorded at cost.

Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2013 4 Contaminated Site Remediation In 1991, contaminated materials, being diesel spill, existed at 61 Fir Street, the site of a bulk fuel plant that has now been closed. These materials were eventually moved to a site at the corner of Gatu Road and Hemlock Street. The abatement order issued by the Ministry of Environment in 1996 was deemed to be satisfied in 2000. An environmental assessment carried out in 2013 determined that the site was still contaminated, creating a liability for the Village. Of the options available, the Village has chosen the least costly option which is to carry out on site, In-Situ treatment. The estimated remedial cost of $76,000 is recognized as an expenditure in the current period in the Statement of Operations of the Public Works Department. 5.

The closing balance of unspent funds is included in deferred revenue. Funds received from The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development are to be used for the Jubilee Park upgrades. 6.

These levies are not included in the revenues or cash flow statements of the Village. c) As at December 31, 2013, there were no assessment appeals pending with respect to properties which may result in adjustments to property taxes receivables for the current or prior years. d) The provincial Waste Management Act, as well as the B.C. Landfill Criteria for Municipal Solid Waste, sets out the regulatory requirements to properly close and maintain all active and inactive landfill sites. The Village is committed to ensuring that its landfill is managed in a fiscally responsible manner, which includes ensuring that there are adequate funds available to pay for landfill closure and post-closure activities. Landfill closure and post-closure requirements have been defined in accordance with industry standards and include final covering of the site, groundwater and surface water monitoring, maintenance of the drainage structure, site inspection and environmental monitoring. e) The Village has no active landfill sites. The site that existed at the end of 2011 has been permanently closed and is monitored on a regular basis. The estimated annual cost of monitoring is $10,000. No liability is recognized in these financial statements because neither the term nor frequency of the monitoring, which is determined by the Ministry of the Environment, is known.

Pension Plan The Village and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (the Plan ), a jointly trusted pension plan. The Board of Trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for overseeing the management of the Plan, including investment of the assets and administration of benefits. The Plan is a multi-employer contributory pension plan. Basic pension benefits provided are based on a formula. The Plan has about 179,000 active members and approximately 71,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 9 contributors from The Corporation of the village of Alert Bay. The latest evaluation as at December 31, 2012 indicated an unfunded liability of $1.370 billion for basic pension benefits. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2015 with results available in 2016. Employers participating in the Plan record their pension expense as the amount of employer contributions made during the fiscal year. This is because the Plan records accrued liabilities and accrued assets for the Plan in aggregate with the result that there is no consistent and reliable basis for allocating the obligation, assets and cost to the individual employers participating in the Plan. The Corporation of the Village of Alert Bay paid $32,427 (2012 - $33,068) for employer contributions while employees contributed $25,719 (2012 - $26,294) to the plan in fiscal 2013.

Municipal Finance Authority Debt Reserve Fund The Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia provides capital financing for regional districts and their member municipalities. The Authority is required to establish a Debt Reserve Fund. Each entity who shares the proceeds of a debt issue is required to pay into the Debt Reserve Fund certain amount set out in the debt agreements. The Authority pays into the Debt Reserve Fund these monies from which interest earned thereon less administrative expenses becomes an obligation to the entity. It must then use this fund if at any-time there are insufficient funds to meet payments on its obligations. When this occurs the entity may be called upon to restore the fund. Upon maturity of the debt issue, the unused portion of the Debt Reserve Fund established for that issue will be discharged to the Village. The proceeds of the Debt Reserve Fund established will be credited to income in the year they are received. As at December 31, 2013 the total of the Village s MFA Debt Reserve Fund is comprised of: Sewer Fund 13,118 12,509 11.
