These principles are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles except as follows: (a) Basis of consolidation - The balance sheet presents the financial position of the Revenue, Capital Reserve, and Capital funds on a consolidated basis. Separate statements of operation are presented tor the Revenue and Capital Funds. The Revenue Fund is used to account for operational and administrative costs financed by 'the Province of Ontario, Government of Canada, participating organized and unorganized municipalities and miscellaneous sources. The Capital Fund is used to account for all capital expenditures. The Capital Reserve Funds represent funds appropriated for future capital projects which will be credited to Capital Fund Operations in the year of capital expenditure. The Trust Funds are used in conjunction with the Board's Deferred Salary Leave Plan. This § plan allows a teacher to defer a portion of his/her salary for several years and to take a year's leave from teaching. During the years of deferral the deferred salary is held in trust for the teacher by the Board. The Trust Funds, as described in note 9, are not reflected in these financial statements. (b) Accrual accounting - The accrual method of reporting revenue and expenditure has been used except for the following: Interest charged on long-term liabilities is not accrued from the due date of payment to the end of the fiscal year, and; No provision has been made in these financial statements for the amount of sick leave benefits accumulated to December 31, 1988 which might be payable upon retirement to those employees remaining on staff after December 31, 1988 (see note 5). (c) Fixed assets - 2 Fixed assets are charged to current expenditure unless financed by long-term debt. Principal and interest charges on long-term liabilities are included in expenditure in the period due. Fixed assets, described as unrecovered capital expenditure, are included on the balance sheet only to the extent of the balances of the related long-term liabilities outstanding and of the fiscal year. (d) Long-term debt - Debentures are recorded as unmatured debenture debt in the year of sale. (e) Reserves and reserve funds - Reserves and reserve funds represent funds appropriated for general and specific purposes and are charged or credited to Revenue Fund operations in the year appropriated or drawn down. The amounts in reserve and reserve funds are approved by the Board and are within the limits defined in the Education Act. (f) Under/over requisition of taxes - The difference between the net expenditures of any year andthe amounts received to finance these expenditures is carried forward to the subsequent year to either increase or decrease the net revenue requirement from rate payers. 2. Bank indebtedness - demand loan The demand loan with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is authorized by a borrowing resolution of the Board and bears interest at the bank's prime lending rate (12.25% at year end). : (See notes.to financial statements) 3.

Sick leave benefit plan - Under the sick leave benefit plan unused sick leave can accumulate to a certain maximum and, depending upon the number of days accumulated at the time of retirement, employees may become entitled to a cash payment, assuming that they are still employed by the Board at the time of their retirement. These financial statements include a payment of $Nil ($38,221 in 1987) for accumulated sick leave benefits which have accrued to employees who have terminated employment in 1988. However, as stated in note 1(b), no provision has been made for the benefits accumulated to December 31, 1988 which might be payable upon retirement to those employees remaining on staff after December 31, 1988. This liability is estimated at approximately $256,000 at the year-end. 6.

At year-end the estimated remaining cost to complete the project is $1,052,300 of which $415,100 has been financed through a direct capital grant from the Ministry of Education. The remaining $637,200 will have to be financed through additional capital grants or other sources available to the Board. 72 Commitment The Board proposes to renovate the Holy Angels school in Schreiber, Ontario at an estimated cost in excess of $1,200,000.
