Summary of significant accounting policies These consolidated financial statements of The Corporation of the City of Kitchener (the "City") have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for local governments as established by the Public Sector Accounting Board of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements: a. Basis of consolidation i. Consolidated entities These consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, reserves, surpluses/deficits, revenues, and expenditures of those City funds and governmental functions or entities which have been determined to comprise a part of the aggregate City operations based upon control exercised by the City except for the City's government businesses which are accounted for on the modified equity basis of accounting. The following boards, municipal enterprises and utilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements: . Kitchener Public Library . Kitchener Downtown Improvement Area Board of Management . Belmont Improvement Area Board of Management . The Centre in the Square Inc. . Waterworks Enterprise . Gasworks Enterprise . Sewer Surcharge Enterprise . Building Enterprise . Golf Enterprise All inter-organizational and inter-fund transactions and balances have been eliminated. ii. Government business enterprises Kitchener Power Corp. and its affiliates are not consolidated but are accounted for on the modified equity basis which reflects the City of Kitchener's investment in the enterprises and its share of net income since acquisition. Under the modified equity basis, the enterprises' accounting principles are not adjusted to conform to those of the City, and inter-organizational transactions and balances are not eliminated. iii. Accounting for region and school board transactions The taxation, other revenues, expenditures, assets and liabilities, with respect to the operations of the school boards and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, are not reflected in these consolidated financial statements. iv. Trust funds Trust funds and their related operations administered by the City are not consolidated, but are reported separately on the "Trust Funds Statement of Continuity and Balance Sheet" (see Note 3). 1-6 CITY OF KITCHENER Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands of dollars) DRAFT 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) b. Basis of accounting i. Accrual basis of accounting The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the period in which the transactions or events occurred that gave rise to the revenues and expenditures are recognized in the period the goods and services are acquired and a liability is incurred or transfers are due. ii. Trade and other accounts receivable Trade and other accounts receivable are reported net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. iii. Inventory for resale Inventory for resale is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in-first- out basis. iv. Investments Portfolio investments are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization on premiums and discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized on a straight line basis over the term to maturity. Interest income is recorded as it accrues. When the value of any portfolio investment is identified as impaired, the carrying amount is adjusted to the estimated realizable amount and any adjustments are included in investment income in the period the impairment is recognized. v. 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 or for the purchase of tangible capital assets. In addition, certain user charges and fees are collected for which the related services have yet to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period when the related expenses are incurred, services performed or the tangible capital assets are acquired. vi. Employee future benefits The contributions to a multi-employer, defined benefit pension plan are expensed when contributions are due. The costs of post-employment benefits are recognized when the event that obligates the City occurs; costs include projected future income payments, health care continuation costs and fees paid to independent administrators of these plans, calculated on a present value basis. The costs of post-employment benefits are actuarially determined using the projected benefits method prorated on service and management's best estimate of retirement ages of employees, salary escalation, expected health care costs and plan investment performance. Liabilities are actuarially determined using discount rates that are consistent with the market rates of high quality debt instruments. Any gains or losses from changes in assumptions or experience are amortized over the average remaining service period for active employees. 1-7 CITY OF KITCHENER Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands of dollars) DRAFT 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) vii. Non-financial assets Non-financial assets are not available to discharge liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful lives that extend 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 consolidated change in net financial assets for the year. a. 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 is amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Assets Land Land improvements Building & building improvements Leasehold improvements Machinery & equipment Computer hardware Computer software Linear assets Vehicles Amortization period The original cost of land is not amortized 1 0 to 25 years 20 to 50 years Over the useful life of the improvement or the lease term, whichever is shorter 3 to 15 years 3 to 1 0 years 1 to 1 0 years 20 to 1 00 years 3 to 25 years b. Contributions of tangible capital assets Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at time of receipt and are recorded as revenue. c. Leases Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental of ownership 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. 1-8 CITY OF KITCHENER Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands of dollars) DRAFT 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) d. Inventory of supplies Inventories held for consumption are recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost. e. 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. viii. Government transfers Government transfers are recognized in the financial statements in the period in which the 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. Government transfers and developer contributions-in-kind related to capital acquisitions are required to be recognized as revenue in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the tangible capital assets are acquired. ix. Use of estimates 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 judgments. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 2. Operations of school boards and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo Further to Note 1 a) iii, the taxation, other revenues and requisitions for the school boards and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo are comprised of the following: Taxation and user charges Share of payments in lieu of taxes Share of linear properties Amounts requisitioned School Boards 85,637 5 63 85,705 Region Total 178,908 1,181 108 180,197 264,545 1,186 171 265,902 3.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements of the Belmont Improvement Area Board of Management are the representation of management and have been prepared 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. 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 judgments. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements. 2. Basis of Accounting Revenues and expenditures are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable; expenditures 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. 3. Statement of Cash Flows A separate statement of cash flows is not presented, since cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are readily apparent from the other financial statements. 2-28 ~~JJ KPMG llP Gharttulld Aceou ntaRts 115 King Str99l South, 2.'d Fbor VVaterbo ON N 2.J 5/lJ Telephone Fax I ntemet 519-747-8300 519-747-833 0 VWWI'.~mgC<3 I nde pe nde nt Au dito rs' R ep ort We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kitchener Downtown Improvement Area 80 ard of Man ag eme nt, which com prise the fin ancial p osition as at De ce mbe r 31 ,2010, the statem ents of reve nue an d e xp en se sand accum ulated surp Ius an d ch ang es in net fina ncial assets for the year the n end ed, a nd note s, com prising a sum mary of sig nifica nt accounting policies an d oth er explan atory info rm ation.

These financial statements of the Board are the representation of management and have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for local governments, as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. 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 judgement. (a) Tangible capital assets: Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes 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 and landfill sites, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows Asset Useful Life - Years Computers 4 years Annual amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and in the year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt and also are recorded as revenue. (b) Accrual basis of accounting: The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable; expenditures 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. 2-34 KITCHENER DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT AREA BOARD OF MANAGEMENT Notes to Financial Statements, page 2 Year ended December 31, 2010 2. Term deposit: The term deposits consist of the following: Principal Maturity Rate $54,000 $10,087 June 6, 2011 October 22, 2012 185% 1.45% 3. Commitments: The Board is committed to the following minimum lease payments for its office equipment and space: 2011 $ 14,100 4. City of Kitchener: The Board receives assessment income from the City of Kitchener for its operations. During the year, assessment write-offs were incurred for $33,755. This amount will be deducted from transfers from the City of Kitchener in 2011. 5. Employer health tax: Included in salaries and wages is the provincially administered Employer Health Tax ("EHT") at a rate of 1.95% of employee remuneration. Information obtained by the Board from the Ontario Business Improvement Area Associated has led management to believe that the Board may be exempt, up to $400,000 of gross remuneration, of EHT. Management intends to challenge its EHT assessments and prepare refund claims for certain prior years Due to the contingent nature of this benefit, no recoverable amount has been recorded in the financial statements. 6. Statement of cash flows: A separate statement of cash flows is not presented since cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are readily apparent from the other financial statements. 2-35 IJmJ KPMG LLP Chartered Accou nta nts 115 Ki n 9 Street South 2nd Floor Waterloo ON N2J 5A3 Canada Telephone Fax Internet (519) 747-8800 (519) 747-8830 www.kpmg.ca INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the members of the Kitchener Public Library Board We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Kitchener Public Library, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2010 and the statements of revenues and expenses and accumulated net revenue and changes in net financial assets for the year then ended, and notes, comprising 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 generally accepted accounting principles, 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 our 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, we consider 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 qualified audit opinion. Basis for Qualified Opinion In common with many public library boards, the Kitchener Public Library derives revenue from fines, rentals, partnerships, photocopying and other miscellaneous revenues, the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the entity and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to contributions, excess of revenues over expenses, current assets and net financial assets. 2-36 M_ Qualified Opinion In our opinion, except for the possible effects on the financial statements of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Kitchener Public Library as at December 31, 2010, and its results of operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. ;.//#1& Lf.P --------- Chartered Accountants, Licensed Public Accountants Waterloo, Canada March 29, 2011 2-37 KITCHENER PUBLIC LIBRARY Statement of Financial Position December 31, 2010, with comparative figures for 2009 2010 2009 Financial Assets Cash $ 912,763 $ 698,767 Accounts receivable 99, 116 50,777 Due from City of Kitchener 104,378 52,020 1,116,257 801,564 Financial Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 634,946 457,834 Deferred revenue (note 2) 480,958 343,691 1,115,904 801,525 Net financial assets 353 39 Non-Financial Assets Tangible capital assets (note 3) 5,720,794 5,967,133 $ 5,721 ,147 $ 5,967,172 Accumulated Surplus General $ 353 $ 39 Invested in tangible capital assets 5,720,794 5,967,133 Net assets $ 5,721 ,147 $ 5,967,172 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2-38 KITCHENER PUBLIC LIBRARY Statement of Revenues and Expenses and Accumulated Net Revenue Year ended December 31, 2010, with comparative figures for 2009 2010 2009 Revenue: Grants: Province of Ontario $ 286,755 $ 286,755 City of Kitchener: Operating 8,673,816 8,652,795 Capital and special (note 4) 534,631 531,858 Special grants (note 5) 79,412 188,263 Fines 292,596 277,938 Interest and miscellaneous 24,324 22,280 Partnerships 40,704 44,572 Room rental 21,800 45,857 Photocopy 23,783 23,068 9,977,821 10,073,386 Expenses: Personnel costs (Schedule) 7,181,103 7,113,337 Resource materials 1,587,481 1,540,064 Equipment (Schedule) 334,909 294,127 Administrative (Schedule) 179,832 202,630 Facilities costs (Schedule) 457,760 419,559 Processing/bindery 131,613 134,872 Programs and publicity (Schedule) 27,797 37,020 General library equipment 16,747 709 Expenditures related to capital and special (note 4) 227,192 353,266 Required expenditures related to special [:Jrants (note 5) 79,412 188,263 10,223,846 10,283,847 Net deficit (246,025) (210,461 ) Accumulated net revenue, beginning of year 5,967,172 6,177,633 Accumulated net revenue, end of year $ 5,721,147 $ 5,967,172 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2-39 KITCHENER PUBLIC LIBRARY Statement of Changes in Net Financial Assets Year ended December 31,2010, with comparative figures for 2009 2010 2009 Deficiency of revenue over expenditures $ (246,025) $ (210,461 ) Acquisition of tangible capital assets (1,146,298) (1,131,998) Amortization of tangible capital assets 1,392,637 1,342,475 Change in net financial assets 314 16 Net financial assets, beginning of year 39 23 Net financial assets, end of year $ 353 $ 39 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2-40 KITCHENER PUBLIC LIBRARY Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2010 The Kitchener Public Library (the "Board") was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization, without share capital, under the laws of Ontario. It is a Board of the City of Kitchener (the "City") and is dependent on the City for a significant portion of its operating and capital funding. The Board contributes to the community as a resource and a gateway with sources of information and works of imagination. The financial statements of the Board are the representation of management and have been prepared 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. 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 judgements. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements. 1. Significant accounting policies: (a) Accrual basis of accounting: The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable; expenditures 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. (b) Tangible capital assets: Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes 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: Furniture, fixtures and equipment Specialty and other equipment Computer Books and audio visual resources 10 - 30 years 8 yea rs 3 - 1 0 yea rs 2 - 1 0 yea rs 2. Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue represents the annual Board's approval of the appropriation of unspent funds, and are subject to external restrictions as to how the funds are disbursed. These appropriations are included in required expenses and are subsequently charged directly to operations when spent. 2-41 :.::.

Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2010 The mission of The Centre in the Square Inc. ("The Centre"), is to create memorable experiences. It is incorporated as a municipal, not-for-profit corporation without share capital, is exempt from income taxes under the Income Tax Act, and is a registered charity. The Centre is a Board of The City of Kitchener ("the City") and receives a portion of its operating and capital funding from the City 1. Significant accounting policies: The financial statements of The Centre are the representation of management and have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for local governments, as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. 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 judgement. (a) Tangible capital assets: Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes 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: Asset Rate Building Equipment Computers Software Site 9 - 1 00 years 4 - 50 years 5 - 14 years 3 years 1 0 - 50 years (b) Accrual basis of accounting: The accrual basis of accounting, recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable; expenditures 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. (c) Inventories Bar stock inventories are valued at the most recent replacement cost. Supplies inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value is defined as replacement cost. (d) Investments: Investments are recorded at the lower of cost or market value on a fund portfolio basis. Interest income and all expenses are fully accrued. 2-51 THE CENTRE IN THE SQUARE INC. Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended December 31, 2010 1.

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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion KPMG LLP, IS a Canadian limited liabllrry partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"!. a SWISS entity.

Kitchener Power Corp. CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. INCORPORATION On July 1, 2000, Kitchener Povver Corp. was incorporated under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) along with its affiliate companies, Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc., Kitchener Energy Services Inc. and FibreTech (Kitchener) Inc. The incorporation was required in accordance with the provincial government's Electricity Competition Act (Bill 35). The City of Kitchener and the Township of Wilmot both passed by-laws, which transferred the net assets of the former Hydro-Electric Commission of Kitchener-Wilmot to the new Company on August 1, 2000. Certain surplus property assets and cash funds vvere excluded from the transfer and were retained by the City and the TOVVllship. The net assets of FibreTech (Kitchener) Inc. vvere subsequently transferred to Fibretech Telecommunications I nc. on November 1, 2000 as a result of a statutory amalgamation with Fibretech Telecommunications (Cambridge) Inc and Fibretech Waterloo Inc. On September 1,2005, Fibretech Telecommunications Inc. merged with Guelph FibreWired to create a new telecommunications company, Atria Netvvorks Inc. ("Atria"). Atria was subsequently sold to a third party on November 7, 2006 and was dissolved on October 15, 2009 pursuant to Section 237(b) of the Business Corporation Act (Ontario). Kitchener Power Corp., the holding company for the affiliate companies, oversees the operations of Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc., a regulated distribution company, and Kitchener Energy Services Inc., an unregulated retail services company. Outstanding share capital includes 18,450 common shares held by the City of Kitchener and 1,550 common shares held by the TOVVllship of Wilmot. These municipalities are the sole shareholders of Kitchener Power Corp. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [I] Changes in accounting policies Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the amended sections of CICA Handbook Section 1100, Generally Accepted Accounted Principles, CICA Handbook Section 3465, I ncome taxes and Accounting Guideline 19 - "Disclosures by Entities Subject to Rate Regulation". The amendment to CICA Handbook Section 1100 removed the temporary exemption pertaining to the application of that section to the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities arising from rate regulation. I n response to the removal of the exemption, the Company established accounting policies for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities arising from rate regulation. In accordance INith the Canadian GAAP hierarchy guidance framework outlined in CICA Handbook Section 1100, the Company has determined that its assets and liabilities arising from rate regulation qualify for recognition under Canadian GAAP and this recognition is consistent INith U.S, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation ("FAS71 "). The Company concluded that its polices for assets and liabilities arising from rate regulation vvere consistent with the primary sources of Canadian GAAP and were developed through the exercise of professional judgement. The amendment to CICA Handbook Section 3465 states that vv11ere future income taxes may be expected to be included in approved rates charged to customers in the future and to be recovered or returned to future customers, the recognition of a regulatory asset or liability for the increase or reduction in future revenue is required. Furthermore, the regulatory asset or liability established by this requirement is a temporary difference for which an additional future income tax asset or liability is recognized. This change has been applied on a retroactive basis without restatement of prior periods. 2-67 KITCHENER POWER CORP. Kitchener Power Corp. CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [II] Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance vvith Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ["GAAP"] including accounting principles prescribed by the Ontario Energy Board [the "OEB"] in the Accounting Procedures Handbook [the "AP Handbook"] for Electric Distribution Utilities, and reflect the significant accounting policies as summarized below. [III] Regu lation Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc. ["KW Hydro"] is regulated by the Ontario Energy Board under the authority of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. The OEB is charged with the responsibility of approving or fixing rates for the transmission and distribution of electricity, providing continued rate protection for rural and remote electricity customers, and for ensuring the distribution companies fulfill obligations to connect and service customers. The OEB has the general power to include or exclude costs and revenues in the rates of a specific period, resulting in a change in the timing of accounting recognition from that which would have applied in an unregulated company. The economic impact of rate regulation is reported in these financial statements. The following regulatory treatments have resulted in accounting treatments that differ from GAAP for enterprises operating in a non-regulated environment: Regulatory assets represent costs that have been deferred because it is probable that they vvill be recovered from customers in future periods through the rate-making process. Regulatory liabilities represent future reduction in revenues associated with amounts that are expected to be refunded to customers through the rate-making process. 2-68 KITCHENER POWER CORP. Kitchener Power Corp. CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [IV] Other accounting policies [a] Financial instruments Financial instruments - recognition and measurement - Section 3855 This Section establishes the standards for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. At inception, all financial instruments which meet the definition of a financial asset or financial liability are to be recorded at fair value, unless fair value cannot be reliably determined. Depending on the nature of the financial instrument, revenues, expenses, gains and losses would be reported in either net income or other comprehensive income. Subsequent measurement of each financial instrument llllill depend on the balance sheet classification elected by the Company. The Company has elected the follolllling balance sheet classifications with respect to its financial assets and financial liabilities: . Cash is classified as "Assets Held-for- Trading" and is measured at fair value. . Cash equivalents, comprising short-term investments, are classified as "Held-to- Maturity Investments" and are measured at amortized cost, vvhich, upon initial recognition, is considered equivalent to fair value. . Accounts receivable are classified as "Loans and Receivables" and are measured at amortized cost, which, upon initial recognition, is considered equivalent to fair value. Subsequent measurements are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. . Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the long-term debt are classified as "Other Financial Liabilities" and are initially measured at their fair value. Subsequent measurements are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Com prehensive incom e - Section 1530 This Section describes the recognition and disclosure requirements with respect to comprehensive income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income represents the changes in the fair value of a financial instrument which have not been included in net income. The Company had no adjustments to other comprehensive income during the period ending December 31, 2010. Hedges - Section 3865 This Section establishes standards regarding the use of hedge accounting, in particular, the criteria to be met for the application of hedge accounting and the methods of executing various hedging strategies. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions as at December 31,2010. 2-69 KITCHENER POWER CORP. Kitchener Power Corp. CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [IV] Other accounting policies (continued) [b] Inventories I nventories consist of parts, supplies and materials held for future capital expansion. The Company valued its inventories according to the provisions of CICA Handbook Section 3031. Under this standard, inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and items considered major spare parts are recorded as capital assets. The standard also contains provisions requiring the reversal of inventory write-downs if the circumstances resulting in the original write-dol/lll1 have reversed. [c] Intangible assets I ntangible assets are valued at cost. Costs for intangible assets include legal and professional services incurred to incorporate Kitchener Power Corp. and its affiliated companies. Amortization, which is intended to amortize intangible capital assets over thei r estimated service life, is provided on the straight-line basis at an annual rate of 10%. Full amortization is recorded in the year of acquisition and none in the year of disposal. [d] Spare transformers and meters Spare transformers and meters are classified as capital assets in accordance with guidance in the CICA Handbook [e] Capital assets and amortization Capital assets are recorded at cost. Costs for assets installed or erected by the Corp. include material, labour and overhead. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis for capital assets available for use over their estimated service lives, at the following annual rates: Buildings Transformer station equipment Distribution station equipment Distribution system Meters SCADA equipment Other capital assets 2% 2.5% 3.33% 4% 4% 6.67% 10 - 25% Amortization on general equipment directly used in the installation of other capital assets, is capitalized to the new assets based on a pro-ration of the time during the year they are used for such purposes. Full amortization is recorded in the year of acquisition and none in the year of disposal, except for readily identified assets, which are amortized on a monthly basis. For readily identifiable assets retired or disposed of, the asset and related accumulated amortization are removed from the records. Differences between the proceeds, if any and the unamortized asset amount plus removal costs are recorded as a gain or loss in the year of disposal. For grouped assets, the assets and accumulated amortization are removed from the records at the end of their estimated average service life, regardless of actual service life. 2-70 KITCHENER POWER CORP. Kitchener Power Corp. CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [IV] Other accounting policies (continued) [f] Construction in progress Capital assets under construction at year-end are referred to as construction in progress and disclosed as a component of capital assets. Construction in progress is recognized as a capital asset and amortized when the asset is either put into service or construction is substantially completed. [g] Contributed capital Effective May 1, 2000, Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc. prospectively adopted the change in accounting policy for contributions received in aid of construction [contributed capital], as prescribed by the OEB "Accounting Procedures Handbook for Electric Distribution Utilities". Contributed capital contributions are required contributions received from outside sources, used to finance additions to capital assets. Contributed capital contributions received are treated as a "credit" contra account included in the determination of capital assets. The amount is subsequently amortized by a charge to accumulated amortization and a credit to amortization expense, at an equivalent rate to that used for the amortization of the related capital assets. [h] Customer deposits Customer deposits are cash collections from customers to guarantee the payment of energy bills. Deposits expected to be refunded to customers within the next fiscal year are classified as a current liability. [i] Payments-in-lieu of corporate incom e taxes and capital taxes The current tax-exempt status of the Company under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Corporations Tax Act (Ontario) reflects the fact that the Company is wholly owned by municipalities. This tax-exempt status might be lost in a number of circumstances, including if the municipality ceases to own 90% or more of the shares or capital of the Company or if a non- government entity has rights immediately or in the future, either absolutely or contingently, to acquire more than 10% of the shares of the Company. Commencing October 1, 2001, the Company is required, under the Electricity Act 1998, to make payments-in-lieu of corporate income taxes ["PI Ls'l to Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation, which will be used to repay the stranded debt incurred by the former Ontario Hydro. These payments are calculated in accordance with the rules for computing income and taxable capital and other relevant amounts contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Corporations Tax Act (Ontario) as modified by the Electricity Act 1998 and related regulations. As a result of becoming subject to PILs, the Company's taxation year was deemed to have ended immediately beforehand and a new taxation year was deemed to have commenced immediately thereafter. The Company was therefore deemed to have disposed of each of its assets at their then fair market value and to have reacquired such assets at that same amount for purposes of computing its future income subject to PILs. For purposes of certain provisions, the Company was deemed to have a new company and, as a result, tax credits or tax losses not previously utilized by the Company would not be available to it after the change in tax status. Essentially, the Company was taxed as though it had a "fresh start" at the time of its change in tax status. 2-71 KITCHENER POWER CORP. Kitchener Power Corp. CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [IV] Other accounting policies (continued) Ul Post-employment benefits Employee future benefits provided by Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc. include medical and life insurance benefits. These plans provide benefits to certain employees when they are no longer providing active service. Employee future benefit expense is recognized in the period in vvhich the employees render the services. Employee future benefits are recorded on an accrual basis. The accrued benefit obligations and current service cost are calculated using the projected benefits method pro-rated on service and based on assumptions that reflect management's best estimate. The current service cost for a period is equal to the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to employees' services rendered in the period. Past service costs from plan amendments are amortized on a straight- line basis over the average remaining service period of employees active at the date of amendment. An actuarial valuation of the plan obligation was completed as at January 1, 2008 resulting in an unamortized net actuarial gain of $1,032,190. The Company has adopted the corridor method of accounting for the actuarially determined experience gains (losses). The excess of the net accumulated actuarial gains (losses) over 10% of the accrued benefit obligation is amortized into expense over the average remaining service period of active employees. [k] Pension plan Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro I nc. provides a pension plan for its employees through the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System ["OMERS"]. OMERS is a multi-employer pension plan, vvhich operates as the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Fund [the "Fund"] and provides pensions for employees of Ontario municipalities, local boards, public utilities, and school boards. The Fund is a contributory defined benefit pension plan, which is financed by equal contributions from participating employers and employees, and by the investment earnings of the Fund. The Company recognizes the expense related to this plan as contributions are made. [I] Revenue recognition and cost of electrical energy Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro I nc. records revenue from the sale of energy on the basis of regular meter readings and estimates of customer usage since the last meter reading to the end of the year. The cost of power is recognized vvhen the energy is consumed. [m] Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles 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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expense for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates including changes as a result of future decisions made by the OEB, Minister of Energy, or the Ministe r of Finance. 2-72 KITCHENER POWER CORP. Kitchener Power Corp. CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [i] Credit risk For distribution retail customers, credit losses are generally low across the sector. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts to absorb credit losses. At December 31, 2010, there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with respect to any class of financial assets. [ii] I nterest rate risk Cash balances not required to meet day-to-day obligations of the Company are invested in Canadian money market instruments, with terms of one day to 364 days, exposing the Company to fluctuations in short-term interest rates. These fluctuations could impact the level of interest income earned by the Company. 4.

PRUDENTIAL SUPPORT OBLIGATION Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc. purchases power from the Independent Electricity System Operator [IESO] on behalf of its customers and retailers. The I ESO is responsible for ensuring that prudential support is posted by all market participants to mitigate the impact of an event of default by a market participant on the rest of the market. In this regard, at December 31,2009, Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc. has posted an irrevocable standby letter of credit as security in the amount of $29,782,438 [2010 - $29,782,438] underwritten by the Company's principal bank. The Company has entered into a credit facility agreement with its bank in which contains certain financial covenants. 23. GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE The Company is a member of the Municipal Electric Association Reciprocal I nsurance Exchange [MEARIE], vvhich is a pooling of general liability insurance risks. Members of MEARIE would be assessed on a pro-rata basis should losses be experienced by MEARIE, for the years in vvhich the Company was a member. To December 31, 2010, the Company has not been made aware of any additional assessments. 24. CONTINGENT LIABILITY Griffith et al. v. Toronto Hydro-Electric Commission et al. This action has been brought under the Class Proceedings Ac~ 1992. The plaintiff class seeks $500 million in restitution for amounts paid to Toronto Hydro and to other Ontario municipal electric utilities ("LDCs") who received late payment penalties which constitute interest at an effective rate in excess of 60% per year, contrary to Section 347 of the Criminal Code. Pleadings have closed in this action. The action has not yet been certified as a class action and no discoveries have been held, as the parties were awaiting the outcome of a similar proceedings brought against Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. (formerly Consumers Gas). On April 22, 2004, the Supreme Court of Canada released a decision in the Consumers Gas case rejecting all of the defences which had been raised by Consumers Gas, although the Court did not permit the Plaintiff class to recover damages for any period prior to the issuance of the Statement of Claim in 1994 challenging the validity of late payment penalties. The Supreme Court remitted the matter back to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for determination of the damages. At the end of 2006, a mediation process resulted in the settlement of the damages payable by Enbridge and that settlement was approved by the Ontario Superior Court. In 2007, Enbridge filed application to the Ontario Energy Board [the "OEB"] to recover the Court- approved amount and related amounts from ratepayers. On February 4, 2008 the OEB approved recovery of the same amounts from ratepayers over a five year period. After the release by the Supreme Court of Canada of its 2004 decision in the Consumers Gas case, the plaintiffs in the LDC late payment penalties class action indicated their intention to proceed with their litigation against the LDCs. On July 22, 2010, The Honourable Mr. Justice Cumming of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the settlement in the Late Payment Penalty class action. The approved settlement of $17,037,500 is to be shared amongst all LDCs in the Province of Ontario that did not opt out of the settlement. As Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc. did not opt out of the settlement, its share of the total settlement amount is $273,274 vvhich the Corporation expects to pay in the summer of 2011 to the Region of Waterloo Social Services Heat Bank fund for disbursement to people in need of financial assistance. In 2010, the Corporation booked the settlement as a current liability. As it is expected that the Corporation will recover the paid amounts through future distribution rates, the expense has been transferred to regulatory assets. 2-83 KITCHENER POWER CORP.

COMMITMENTS In support of the Province of Ontario's decision to install smart meters throughout Ontario by 2010 and pursuant to Ontario Regulation 427/06, the Company launched its smart meter initiative in 2008. The Company has committed to install 86,000 smart meters and supporting infrastructure by the end of 2010 at an estimated capital cost of $13,500,000. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 84,000 smart meters or 98% deployment vvas completed in 2010. In December 2009, the Company signed a financing agreement with Ontario Infrastructure Projects Corporation ["01 PC"] to make financing available up to a maximum amount of $10,000,000 for its investment in smart metering infrastructure assets. This funding vvas received by the Corporation in 2010. The OEB adopted the policy that specific funding for the capital cost of smart meters should be included in distribution rates by all Ontario electric distribution companies. The Board decided that "seed" funding equivalent to $0.27 per customer per month be included in the Company's distribution rates commencing May 1, 2006. This funding vvas increased to $1.00 per customer per month effective May 1, 2009 pursuant to OEB Decision and Order of March 10, 2009. Revenue has been reduced by the amount funded in rates, and has been deferred and netted against smart metering capital costs incurred in accordance with the AP Handbook. Unfunded costs including financing expense, are expected to be recovered through future distribution rates once the project is completed, pursuant to the Ontario Energy Board's guidelines. 27. EMERGING ACCOUNTING CHANGES International Financial Reporting Standards ["I FRS"]: On February 13, 2008, the Accounting Standards Board of Canada ["AcSB"] announced that publicly accountable enterprises will be required to change over to IFRS effective January 1, 2011. In 2010, the cutover date was deferred to January 1, 2012 for regulated entities, at which time, the Corporation will be IFRS compliant. Some of the converged standards will be implemented in Canada during the transition period with the remaining standards adopted at the change over date. The Company has launched an internal initiative to govern the conversion process and is currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the conversion to IFRS on its financial statements. 28.

We have concurred with management's assertion that any uncorrected audit differences, individually and in aggregate, are not material to the financial statements Corrected Audit Misstatements . Management has approved of the recommended audit corrections made during the course of our examination m_ 6 Audit Findings Report to the Audit Committee Control Deficiencies Background . In planning and performing our audit ofthe financial statements, we considered internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control.Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all control deficiencies that might be significant deficiencies and therefore, there can be no assurance that all significant deficiencies and other control deficiencies have been identified. . Our awareness of control deficiencies varies with each audit and is influenced by the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures performed, as well as other factors. Identification We did not identify control deficiencies that we consider to be significant deficiencies in internal control Other internal control matters As a result of our audit difference relating to Internal Orders, we have identified the internal control matter: Issue: . Internal Orders are given settlement rules which dictate whether or not they settle to a Capital account or Expense account. Management assesses each Internal Order on a yearly basis and determines whether or not the items are capital or expense in nature. During 2010, approximately 100,000 Internal Orders were reviewed. . During the cunent period, one Internal Order with a Capital settlement rule contained items that were expense in nature which was not identified by management. As a result, items that should have been expensed were inappropriately capitalized. Imulication: . If an Internal Order is given an improper settlement rule and not detected by management at year end, expenses could be inconectly capitalized and capital items may be incorrectly expensed. m_ 7 Audit Findings Report to the Audit Committee Recommendation: . Management currently reviews each Internal Order regardless ofthe settlement rules to ensure that expenses are being properly allocated to capital or expense accounts; however, the high volume of outstanding Internal Orders increases the risk of error. . KPMG recommends that a process be developed to reduce the number of outstanding Internal Orders that are subject to review on an annual basis. m_ 8 Audit Findings Report to the Audit Committee Appendices Appendix 1 - Independence Letter Corporation ofthe City of Kitchener 200 King Street West Kitchener, ON N2G 4G7 June 27, 2011 Dear Audit Committee We have been engaged to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements of The Corporation of the City of Kitchener ("the Entity") as at and for the period ended December 31, 2010.
