Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements is a municipality in the Province of Ontario, Canada. It conducts its operations guided by the provisions of the provincial statutes such as the Municipal Act and related legislation. 1. Summary of significant accounting policies The consolidated financial statements of are prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for local governments as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Township are as follows: (i) Consolidated entities These consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all municipal organizations, committees and boards which are owned or controlled by the Township. These consolidated financial statements include: Norwich Business Improvement Area All inter-departmental and inter-organizational transactions and balances between these organizations have been eliminated. The investments in government business enterprises are accounted for using the modified equity basis which is consistent with the Canadian generally accepted accounting treatment for government business enterprises. Under the modified equity basis, the business enterprise's accounting principles are not adjusted to conform with those of the Township and inter-organizational transactions and balances are not eliminated. The following government business enterprise is reflected in these consolidated financial statements: ERTH Corporation (ii) Accounting for Oxford County and school board transactions The taxation, other revenue, expenditures, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the school boards and the County of Oxford, are not reflected in the municipal fund balances of these financial statements. (iii) Trust funds Trust funds and their related operations administered by the municipality are not consolidated, but are reported separately on the "Trust Funds Statement of Continuity and Balance Sheet". (iv) Basis of presentation Revenue and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recognized in the year in which it is earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized as they are incurred and measurable as a result of receipt of goods or services and the creation of a legal obligation to pay. (v) Inventory Inventory of supplies held for consumption is valued at the lower of cost and replacement value. 7

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (vi) Tangible capital assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Costs include all costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of the tangible capital asset including transportation costs, installation costs, design and engineering fees, legal fees and site preparation costs. Contributed tangible capital assets are recorded at fair value at the time of the donation, with a corresponding amount recorded as revenue. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the tangible capital asset commencing the year the asset is available for productive use. Half the normal rate of amortization is recorded in the initial year of productive use. Amortization rates are as follows: Land improvements 20 years Buildings and structures 10 to 50 years Infrastructure 15 to 60 years Vehicles, machinery and equipment 5 to 15 years Land permanently removed from service and held for resale is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes amounts for improvements to prepare the land for sale or servicing. Tangible capital assets which meet this criteria for financial assets are reclassified as "assets held for sale" on the Statement of Financial Position. (vii) Interest Capitalization Interest is capitalized whenever external debt is issued to finance the construction of tangible capital assets. (viii) Deferred revenue The municipality receives funds for specific purposes which are externally restricted by legislation, regulation or agreement. These restricted funds are not available for general municipal purposes and are recognized as revenue in the fiscal year the funds are used for the specified purpose. (ix) Government transfers Government transfers are recognized in the financial statements as revenues in the period in which events giving rise to the transfer occur, providing the transfers are authorized, any eligibility criteria have been met, and reasonable estimates of the amounts can be made. (x) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future. 8

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 15. Budget figures The budget by-law adopted by Council on May 10, 2016 was not prepared on a basis consistent with that used to report actual results (Public Sector Accounting Standards). The budget was prepared on a modified accrual basis while Public Sector Accounting Standards now require a full accrual basis to be used. The budget figures anticipated use surpluses accumulated in previous years to reduce current year expenditures in excess of current year revenues to $nil. In addition, the budget expensed all tangible capital expenditures rather than including amortization expense. As a result, the budget figures presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations represent the budget adopted by Council on May 10, 2016 with adjustments as follows: Add: 2016 2015 Budget by-law surplus for the year $ - $ - Less: Capital expenditures 2,348,227 2,989,396 Budgeted transfers to accumulated surplus 986,831 781,111 Principal payments on debt 219,000 202,100 Budgeted transfers from accumulated surplus (1,366,950) (1,973,000) Budget surplus per Consolidated Statement of Operations $ 2,187,108 $ 1,999,607 16.

The site will continue to be monitored as part of the Township s ongoing environmental protection program. 15

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 18. Contingencies The Township is the defendant in a lawsuit related to dismissal of a former employee. At present, the outcome is not determinable.

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.

Notes to the Trust Funds Financial Statements 1. Summary of significant accounting policies The financial statements reflect the day to day operations of the trust funds, under administration by the Corporation of the Township of Norwich. The trust funds revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not included in the Township s consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of the trust funds are the representation of management prepared in accordance with accounting policies prescribed for Ontario municipalities by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Since precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of periodic financial statements necessarily involves the use of estimates and approximations. These have been made using careful judgment. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Basis of accounting Revenue and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The accrual basis recognizes revenue as they become available and measurable; expenses are recognized as they are incurred and become measurable as a result of the receipt of goods or services and the creation of an obligation to pay. 2. Statement of cash flow A statement of cash flow has not been included as part of the financial statements as it would not provide any additional information that would be of use to the users of these financial statements. 23
