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 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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the statement of financial position of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham as at December 31, 2017, and the statements of operations and accumulated surplus, changes in net assets, and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for public sector entities.

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 consolidated financial statements of the Municipality are prepared by management in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for public sector entities, as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Professional Accountants. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Municipality are as follows: Reporting Entity The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and 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 100% owned or controlled by the Municipality. Consolidated Entities The following local boards are consolidated: - Various Cemetery Boards Inter-departmental and inter-organizational transactions and balances between these organizations are eliminated. Proportionate Consolidation The Elgin Area Primary Water Board and Port Burwell Water Board have been consolidated on a proportionate basis. The Water Boards are proportionately consolidated based upon the water flow used by our Municipality in proportion to the entire flows provided by the joint boards. Accounting for School Board Transactions Although the Municipality collects taxation on behalf of the School Boards, the taxation, other revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the school boards are not reflected in these statements. Trust Funds Trust funds and their related operations administered by the Municipality are not included in these consolidated financial statements. - 6 - THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Basis of Accounting The consolidated 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. 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting standards for public sector entities 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 expenses during the period. In addition, the Municipality's implementation of the Public Sector Accounting Handbook PS3150 has required management to make estimates of historical cost and useful lives of tangible capital assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best information and judgment and may differ significantly from actual results. Investments Investments, consisting of one fund pooled bond securities, are recorded at the lower of cost plus accrued interest and fair market value. Investment income earned on available funds is reported as revenue in the period earned. 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. - 7 - THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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 are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Building and components 20 to 75 years Vehicles 5 to 25 years Machinery and equipment 5 to 27 years Land improvements 18 to 25 years Plants and facilities 20 to 75 years Roads 20 to 60 years Bridges and other structures 15 to 80 years Underground and other networks 17 to 100 years No amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and a full year of amortization is charged in 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) 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. iv) Interest capitalization The Municipality does not capitalize interest costs associated with the acquisition or construction of a tangible capital asset. v) Leased tangible capital assets Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property are accounted for as capital leases. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease payments are charged to expenses as incurred. - 8 - THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) vi) Inventories of supplies Inventories of supplies held for consumption are recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Investment Income Investment income is reported as revenue in the period earned. When required by funding government or related Act, investment income earned on deferred revenue is added to the investment and forms part of the deferred revenue balance. Tax Revenues In 2017, the Municipality received $4,026,520 (2016 - $3,881,729) 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.). Employee Benefit Plans The Municipality accounts for its participation in the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS), a multi-employer public sector pension fund, as a defined contribution plan. The OMERS plan specifies the retirement benefits to be received by the employees based on the length of service and pay rates. Employee benefits include post employment benefits. Post employment benefits are subject to actuarial valuations and are accrued in accordance with the projected benefit method, prorated on service and management's best estimate of salary escalation and retirement ages of employees. Any actuarial gains and losses related to past service of employees are amortized over the expected average remaining service period. - 9 - THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. Environmental Provisions and Contaminated Sites The Municipality's 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, 2017 there were no properties that the Municipality was responsible to remedy and as such no liability has been accrued. 2. INVESTMENTS Investments are comprised of the following: 2017 2016 $ $ $ $ Cost Market Cost Market One fund pooled bond securities 3,407,977 3,168,119 3,333,463 3,168,129 - 10 - THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 3. TAXES RECEIVABLE 2017 2016 $ $ Current taxes receivable 459,768 435,880 Arrears taxes receivable 306,574 240,829 Penalties and interest 106,171 92,855 872,513 769,564 The Municipality makes annual estimates and allowances for potential exposure to property tax appeals, reassessments, environmental and collection issues. Included in the taxes receivable is $434,585 (2016 - $191,851) of taxes, penalties and interest that is due from two specific gas pipeline properties that are under going various appeals and financial restructuring. The Municipality's exposure to loss on these balances is estimated to be between 25% to 30% if it is determined that nothing is recoverable from these properties. At year end, the Municipality made an assessment of the exposure based on current information and didn't make any significant allowances for these amounts in the financial statements. 4.

TRUST FUNDS Trust funds administered by the Municipality amounting to $253,837 (2016 - $250,337) have not been included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet nor have their operations been included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 9. DEFERRED REVENUE - 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 be refunded. The balances in the obligatory reserve funds of the Municipality are summarized below: 2017 2016 $ $ Development charges 28,177 27,560 Gasoline tax 98,860 142,776 Parkland 29,027 102,034 156,064 272,370 10. PENSION AGREEMENTS The Municipality makes contributions to the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Fund (OMERS), which is a multi-employer plan, on behalf of its staff. The plan is a defined benefit plan which specifies the amount of the retirement benefit to be received by the employees based on the length of service and rates of pay. 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, which is required every three years. As at December 31, 2017 the Plan had actuarial liabilities of $93.6 billion in respect of benefits accrued for service with actuarial assets at that date of $88.2 billion leaving an actuarial deficit of $5.4 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 amount contributed to OMERS for 2017 was $134,405 (2016 - $133,621). - 16 - THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 11.

OPERATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS AND THE COUNTY OF ELGIN During 2017, requisitions were made by the school boards and the County of Elgin requiring the municipality to collect property taxes and payments in lieu of property taxes on their behalf. The amounts collected and remitted are summarized below: School Boards County $ $ Taxation and user charges 1,473,613 3,865,237 Share of payments in lieu of taxes 963 149,486 Amounts requisitioned 1,474,576 4,014,723 13. ACCRUED LIABILITY ARISING FROM LOAN GUARANTEES The Municipality had guaranteed the debt of the Elgin Military Museum for an amount of $6,000,000. In 2014, management had determined that a contingent liability in the amount of $6,000,000 should be recognized in the financial statements for that fiscal year-end. The Elgin Military Museum defaulted on its loan in March 2015 and the Municipality was required to cover the full $6,000,000 loan guarantee. The guarantee has been funded by long-term debt with an interest rate at 2.71%, in blended monthly payments of $27,557, and is due in March, 2025 (Note 6). In relation to this loan guarantee and the long-term debt, the Municipality has been named in a statement of claim for approximately $1,200,000 from a specific vendor of the Elgin Military Museum. The Municipality has then made a statement of claim of approximately $6,700,000 against the Elgin Military Museum in an attempt to recover some of these fees and long-term debt repayments. The final outcomes of these claims cannot be determined at this time. The Municipality expenses any legal fees associated with these claims as incurred. 14. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES As at December 31, 2017 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. - 18 - THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2017 15.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION The Municipality is a diversified municipal government institution that provides a wide range of services to its citizens, including fire, roads, sewer and water. For management reporting purposes the Government’s operations and activities are organized and reported by Fund. Funds were created for the purpose of recording specific activities to attain certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations. Municipal services are provided by departments and their activities are reported in these funds. Certain departments that have been separately disclosed in the segmented information, along with the services they provided, are as follows. Public Works The Public Works department is responsible for the delivery of municipal public works services related to the planning, development and maintenance of roadway systems, the maintenance of parking and open space, and street lighting. The Water and Waste Funds The water and wastewater department provides drinking water to citizens of the municipality, as well as, collection and treatment of wastewater. This department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of both systems in accordance with government regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act and other pieces of legislation. Other segments This segment includes the remaining departments and activities of the Municipality. Some of the larger activities in this segment include general government, fire, police, public health services, recreation and cultural services, planning and development and solid waste collection and disposal. For each reported segment, revenues and expenses represent both amounts that are directly attributable to the segment and amounts that are allocated on a reasonable basis. Therefore, certain allocation methodologies are employed in the preparation of segmented financial information. The General Revenue Fund reports on municipal services that are funded primarily by taxation such as property and business tax revenues. Taxation and payments-in-lieu of taxes are apportioned to General Revenue Fund services based on the Fund’s net surplus. Certain government transfers, transfer from other funds, and other revenues have been apportioned based on a percentage of budgeted expenses. The accounting policies used in these segments are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 1.
