14 MANITOBA TRADE AND INVESTMENT CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended March 31, Nature of the Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of the Organization The Manitoba Trade and Investment Corporation (the Corporation) was formed by an Act of the Legislature in The objectives of the Corporation, as set out in the Act, are to: encourage, promote, develop and increase Manitoba exports and trade; promote investment in Manitoba; and promote international business opportunities for Manitoba businesses and assist Manitoba businesses in promoting those business opportunities. The Corporation is economically dependent on the Province of Manitoba as all project deficits incurred by the Corporation are recovered from the Province. (b) Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards for government not-for-profit organizations as established by the Public Sector Accounting Board. (c) Revenue Recognition The Corporation follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Participation fees are recognized as revenue in the same period that the shows, seminars and projects sponsored by the Corporation are actually held. Fees received in advance of event days are reflected as deferred revenue. (d) Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recorded at fair value when acquired or issued. In subsequent periods, financial assets with actively traded markets are reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses reported in income. All other financial instruments are reported at cost or amortized cost less impairment, if applicable. Financial assets are tested for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate the asset could be impaired. transaction costs on the acquisition, sale or issue of financial instruments are expensed for those items remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date and charged to the financial instrument for those measured at amortized cost. (e) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates as additional information becomes available in the future. 7

15 MANITOBA TRADE AND INVESTMENT CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended March 31, Investment Funds available for investment are invested with the Province of Manitoba. A term deposit for the principal amount of $500,000 will mature on March 31, 2014 with an interest rate of 1.06%. 3. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents fees received in advance of event days for specific trade projects. Changes in the deferred balance are as follows: Balance, beginning of year $ 7,697 $ 41,149 Less amounts recognized as revenue in the year 7,697 41,149 Add amounts received during the year and deferred at year end 4,500 7,697 Balance, end of year $ 4,500 $ 7, Operating Advance Payable The Corporation has $500,000 in non-interest bearing working capital advance from the Province of Manitoba. The advances are payable on demand. 5. Contributed Services During the year, the Province of Manitoba provided office space and other administrative services to the Corporation at nil cost. Because of the difficulty of estimating the fair value of such expenses, no contributed services are recognized in the financial statements. 6. Related Party Transactions The Corporation is related in terms of common ownership to all departments, Crown organizations and government enterprises created by the Province of Manitoba. The Corporation enters into transactions with these entities in the normal course of business. The Corporation records these transactions at the exchange amount which is the amount agreed upon by both parties. During the year, the Corporation received interest revenue in the amount of $5,470 from funds invested with the Province of Manitoba. 8

16 MANITOBA TRADE AND INVESTMENT CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended March 31, Financial Instrument Risk Management The Corporation is exposed to different types of risk in the normal course of operations, including credit risk and market risk. The Corporation's objective in risk management is to optimize the risk return trade-off, within set limits, by applying integrated risk management and control strategies, policies and procedures throughout the Corporation's activities. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument fails to discharge an obligation and causes financial loss to another party. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Corporation to credit risk consist principally of cash and bank, accounts receivable and investment. In case of an outstanding payment the Trade Officer responsible for the project deals directly with the company representative. Companies participation in future trade shows and Manitoba Trade and Investment events are suspended until payment is made. All the outstanding accounts are reviewed by the Board of Directors (Board) during each Board meeting. The Board is notified if there is any issue that arise due to a payment not being received. In case of an issue arising due to the non-collection of a payment, it is brought to the attention of the Board and they will discuss and recommend the next course of action. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations as they become due, and arises from the Corporation's management of working capital. The Corporation's policy is to ensure that it will have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. Market Risk Market risk is the risk the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and other price risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Corporation is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as its cash and investment are held in short-term or variable rate products. The Corporation is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk as it does not have any financial instruments denominated in foreign currency. The Corporation is not exposed to other price risk since it does not hold any financial instruments traded on a market. 9
