To the Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of the Corporation of the Township of Adelaide Metcalfe: INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Corporation of the Township of Adelaide Metcalfe, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2016, and the statements of operations and accumulated surplus, changes in net financial assets, and cash flows 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 accounting standards for public sector entities 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 whether the financial statements are free of 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 consolidated 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 statement of financial position of the Corporation of the Township of Adelaide Metcalfe as at December 31, 2016, and the statements of operations and accumulated surplus, changes in net financial assets, and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for public sector entities.

The Corporation of the Township of Adelaide Metcalfe (the "Municipality") is a municipality in the Province of Ontario. It conducts its operations guided by the provisions of provincial statutes such as the Municipal Act, Municipal Affairs Act and related legislation. 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the Municipality 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 Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Municipality are as follows: Reporting Entity The financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses of the reporting entity. The reporting entity is comprised of all organizations, committees and local boards accountable for the administration of their financial affairs and resources to the Municipality and which are owned or controlled by the Municipality. Consolidated Entity There are no organizations or local boards that are consolidated in these financial statements. Proportionate Consolidation There are no organizations or local boards that are proportionately consolidated in these financial statements. Basis of Accounting The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting records revenue as it is earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized as they are incurred and measurable based upon receipt of goods or services and/or the creation of a legal obligation to pay. Investments Investments consisting of government and corporate bonds, money market funds and guaranteed investment certificates are carried at cost. Interest income is recognized when received or receivable. Trust Funds Trust funds and their related operations administered by the Municipality are not included in these consolidated financial statements. -6-
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Accounting for County and School Board Transactions Although the Municipality collects taxation on behalf of the County of Middlesex and the School Boards, the taxation, other revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the County and the school boards are not reflected in these financial statements. 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 excess of revenues over expenses, provides the Change in Net Financial Assets for the year. i) 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, excluding land are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Land improvements Buildings Equipment Vehicles Transportation infrastructure Water system infrastructure Wastewater infrastructure 20 years 50 years 5-20 years 10-20 years 20-75 years 75 years 75 years Amortization begins the first month of the year following the year the asset is placed in service and to the year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use. ii) Contributions 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. iii) Inventories of supplies Inventories of supplies held for consumption are recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost. iv) Works of art and cultural and historic assets Works of art and cultural and historic assets are not recorded as assets in these financial statements. -7-
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Deferred Revenue Government transfers, contributions and other amounts are received from third parties pursuant to legislation, regulation or agreement and may only be used in the conduct of certain programs, in the completion of specific work. In addition, certain user charges and fees which have been collected but for which the related services have yet to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period when the related expense are incurred, services preformed. Solid Waste Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Liability Landfill closure and post-closure care requirements have been defined in accordance with industry standards and include covering and landscaping of the landfill, pumping of ground water and leachates from the site, and ongoing environmental monitoring, site inspection and maintenance. The Municipality discounts these future cash flows for closure and post-closure care activities at the Municipality's long term borrowing rate. The change in liability is expensed in the year with the cumulative liability reported in financial liabilities. Government Transfers Government transfers are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as revenues in the financial period in which events giving rise to the transfer occur, providing the transfers are authorized, any eligibility criteria have been met including performance and return requirements, and reasonable estimates of the amounts can be determined. Any amount received but restricted is recorded as deferred revenue in accordance with Section 3100 of the Public Sector Accounting Handbook and recognized as revenue in the period in which the resources are used for the purpose specified. In addition, the Municipality periodically receives senior government capital funding in the form of infrastructure grants and receives ongoing funding from both senior levels of government as a result of an allocation of the gas tax funds. Employee Benefit Plans The Municipality provides a pension plan for its employees through the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS). OMERS is a multi-employer pension plan which operates as the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Fund. The fund is a contributory defined benefit pension plan. As this is a multi-employer plan, no liability is recorded on the municipality's books. The employer's contribution to a multi-employer, defined benefit plan are expensed as the obligations arise. -8-
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Tax Revenues In 2016 the Municipality received $3,372,609 (2015 - $3,205,993) in property tax revenues for municipal purposes. The authority to levy and collect property taxes is established under the Municipal Act 2001, the Assessment Act, the Education Act, and other legislation. The amount of the total annual property tax levy is determined each year through Council's approval of the annual budget. Municipal tax rates are set annually by Council for each class or type of property, in accordance with legislation and Council-approved policies, in order to raise the revenue required to meet operating budget requirements. Education tax rates are established by the Province each year in order to fund costs of education on a Province-wide basis. Taxation revenues are recorded at the time billings are issued. Additional property tax revenue can be added throughout the year, related to new properties that become occupied, or that become subject to property tax, after the return of the annual assessment roll used for billing purposes. The Municipality may receive supplementary assessment rolls over the course of the year from MPAC that identify new or omitted assessments. Property taxes for these supplementary/omitted amounts are then billed according to the approved tax rate for the property class. Taxation revenues in any year may also be reduced as a result of reductions in assessment value rising from assessment and/or tax appeals. Each year, an amount is identified to cover the estimated amount of revenue loss attributable to assessment appeals, tax appeals or other deficiencies in tax revenue (e.g. uncollectible amounts, write-offs, etc.). Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the period. Significant estimates include assumptions used in estimating provisions for accrued liabilities, landfill closure liability costs, allowances for vacancies, rebates and uncollectible property taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. -9-
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Environmental Provisions and Contaminated Sites The Municipality may be exposed to litigation or other costs of remediation due to contaminated properties in it's jurisdiction. A liability for remediation is recognized in the financial statements when an environmental standard exists, contamination exceeds the standard, the government is responsible for the remediation and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. As at December 31, 2016 there were no properties that the Municipality was responsible to remedy and as such no liability has been accrued. Financial Instruments The Municipality's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, taxes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Municipality is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. 2. INVESTMENTS The investments consist of guaranteed investment certificates of $2,106,989 (2015 - $104,916) and are recorded at cost which approximates their market value. The certificates mature on various dates ranging during 2017 and yield interest rates from 1.12% to 1.85%. 3. DEFERRED REVENUE (INCLUDING OBLIGATORY RESERVE FUNDS) A requirement of the public sector accounting principles of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Professional Accountants, is that obligatory reserve funds be reported as deferred revenue. This requirement is in place as provincial legislation restricts how these funds may be used and under certain circumstances these funds may possibly be refunded. The balances in deferred revenue including obligatory reserve funds (consisting of Recreation Land - Planning Act, Federal Gas Tax and Subdivider Contributions) of the Municipality are summarized below: 2016 2015 $ $ Recreation land 31,768 31,186 Federal gas tax 274,009 177,922 Subdivider contributions 18,415 18,082 Other - building permit and road restoration revenue 143,827 145,427 468,019 372,617-10-
4. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POST-CLOSURE LIABILITY This liability is the estimated cost to date, based on a volumetric basis, of the expenses relating to those activities required when the site or phase stops accepting waste. The sanitary closure costs include final cover and vegetation, completing facilities for drainage control features, leachate monitoring, water quality monitoring, and monitoring and recovery of gas. Postclosure care activities include all activities related to monitoring the site once it can no longer accept waste, including acquisition of any additional land for buffer zones, treatment and monitoring of leachate, monitoring ground water and surface water, gas monitoring and recovery, and ongoing maintenance of various control systems, drainage systems and final cover. The estimated liability for the care of the landfill sites is the present value of future cash flows associated with the closure and post-closure costs. The Municipality currently has two landfill sites "Adelaide" and "Metcalfe". The key assumptions for each of the landfill sites is as follows: Adelaide site Metcalfe site Date landfill is expected to reach capacity 2024 2020 Estimated remaining capacity at December 31, 2016 (cubic metres) 8,150 1,600 Inflation rate 2.0% 2.0% Discount rate 3.0% 3.0% Estimated time required for post closure care 25 years 25 years Estimate closure costs $114,415 $27,061 Estimated post-closure costs $84,673 $- The estimated liability of $186,879 (2015 - $225,461) represents the sum of the discounted future cash flows for closure and post-closure care activities discounted at the Municipality's current long term borrowing rate of 3.0%. The liability is expected to be funded through budget allocations to a landfill reserve over the remaining life of the landfill. At year end this reserve was $175,000 (2015 - $150,000). -11-

Each year, an independent actuary determines the funding status of OMERS Primary Pension Plan (the Plan) by comparing the actuarial value of invested assets to the estimated present value of all pension benefits the members have earned to date. The most recent actuarial valuation of the Plan was conducted December 31, 2016, and the results of this valuation disclosed actuarial liabilities of $87 billion in respect of benefits accrued for service with actuarial assets at that date of $81.3 billion leaving an actuarial deficit of $5.7 billion. Since any surpluses or deficits are a joint responsibility of all Ontario municipalities and their employees, the Municipality does not recognize any share of the OMERS Pension surplus or deficit in these consolidated financial statements. The total amount contributed for pension purposes for 2016 was $55,566 (2015 - $51,872) and is included as an expense on the Statement of Operations and Accumulated Surplus. 9. OPERATIONS OF SCHOOL BOARDS AND THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX During 2016, requisitions were made by the School Boards and the County of Middlesex requiring the Municipality to collect property taxes and payments-in-lieu of property taxes on their behalf.

11. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES As at December 31, 2016 certain legal actions are pending against the Municipality. The final outcome of the outstanding claims cannot be determined at this time. However, management believes that ultimate disposition of these matters will not materially exceed the amounts recorded in these consolidated financial statements. Estimated costs to settle claims are based on available information and projections of estimated future expenses developed based on the Municipality's historical experience. Claims are reported as an operating expense in the year of the loss, where the costs are deemed to be likely and can be reasonable determined. Claim provisions are reported as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. 12.

13. BUDGET FIGURES The budget by-law adopted by Council was not prepared on a basis consistent with that used to report actual results under 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. In addition, the budget expensed all tangible capital expenditures rather than including amortization expense. As a result, the budget figures presented in the Statement of Operations and Accumulated Surplus represent the budget adopted by Council with adjustment as follows: Approved PSAB Budget Adjustments Budget $ $ $ REVENUES Property taxation 3,364,446-3,364,446 Taxation from other governments 25,000-25,000 User charges 275,703-275,703 Local improvement levies 151,960-151,960 Government transfers Provincial 1,032,236-1,032,236 Other municipalities 220,000-220,000 Investment income 40,000-40,000 Penalties and interest on taxes 75,000-75,000 Other 6,500-6,500 Surplus forward 400,000 (400,000) - Total revenues 5,590,845 (400,000) 5,190,845 EXPENSES General government 677,215 (25,274) 651,941 Fire and police protection 818,312 (84,833) 733,479 Other protective services 171,480 1,934 173,414 Transportation services 3,466,470 (680,785) 2,785,685 Waterworks and sewers 116,660 (25,000) 91,660 Garbage collection and disposal 219,320 (23,200) 196,120 Health services 13,000-13,000 Recreation and cultural services 27,293 (2,068) 25,225 Planning and zoning 21,800-21,800 Agriculture 59,295-59,295 Total expenses 5,590,845 (839,226) 4,751,619 BUDGETED ANNUAL SURPLUS (DEFICIT) - 439,226 439,226-18-
