PRAIRIE AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY INSTITUTE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2017

1. Status of Institute The Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (Institute) is a body corporate operating under The Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute Act, 1999. Its primary purpose is to perform tests and conduct research on machinery, equipment and technologies used in the agriculture, food and other industries. The Institute’s testing facilities are located in Humboldt and Lanigan, Saskatchewan and Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. On wind-up, any net assets will be divided between the Governments of Saskatchewan and Manitoba in proportion to their respective share in the Institute’s assets equivalent to the percentage of funding provided to date by each province. The Institute’s objective when managing its capital structure, which consists of net assets, is to ensure adequate funding exists to support its operations and growth strategies. Capital is managed through grant funding and a $700,000 available line of credit. The Institute does not have any long-term debt. The Institute relies on funding from the Governments of Saskatchewan and Manitoba and on two customers for continued fee for service revenue. These customers account for 43% (2016 – 38%) of its fee for service revenue and 15% (2016 – 31%) of accounts receivable.

2. Significant accounting policies Pursuant to standards established by the Canadian public sector accounting board (PSAB), the Institute is classified as an ‘other government organization’. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. The significant accounting policies are as follows:

a) Financial assets

Financial assets are assets that could be used to discharge existing liabilities or finance future operations. Valuation allowances are used where considered necessary to reduce the amounts reported for financial assets to their net realizable value. Cash consists of cash on hand, balances with financial institutions, and Due from General Revenue Fund. Accounts receivable consist of receivables from customers (trade accounts) and other receivables. Receivables are recorded at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts.

b) Non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are assets held for consumption in the provision of services. These assets do not normally provide resources to discharge the liabilities of the Institute unless they are sold. Tangible capital assets and other non-financial assets are accounted for as assets by the Institute because they can be used to provide services in future periods. Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Self-constructed assets are recorded at cost, including labour and materials. Amortization is recorded using methods and rates intended to amortize the cost of assets over their estimated useful life.

Page 28: PAMI | Innovative solutions for Agriculture and Beyondpami.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/PAMI_Annual_Report_2016-20… · SASKATCHEWAN ACT 1999 Ministry of Agriculture MANITOBA Department

 

 

 

Method Rate Buildings declining balance 5% Equipment, furniture, and vehicles declining balance 10% Computer equipment declining balance 30% Leasehold improvements straight line 10% Computer software straight line 33% Prepaid expenses are prepaid amounts for goods or services which will provide economic benefits in one or more future periods. The breeding herd is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. This asset is being amortized at 20% declining balance. Inventory held for consumption consists of calves, bulls and feed. Calves are recorded at net realizable value. Bulls and feed are recorded at lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business.

c) Financial instruments

The Institute’s financial instruments include cash, Due from General Revenue Fund, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue. These instruments are recorded at cost or amortized cost. The carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value due to their immediate or short-term maturity. Except as otherwise disclosed the Institute is not exposed to significant credit, currency, interest or liquidity risk arising from these financial instruments that may affect the amount, timing and certainty of future cash flows.

d) Liability for Contaminated Sites

Contaminated sites are a result of contamination being introduced into air, soil, water or sediment of a chemical, organic or radioactive material or live organism that exceeds the maximum acceptable concentrations under an environmental standard. The liability is recorded net of any expected recoveries. A liability for remediation of contaminated sites is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

an environmental standard exists contamination exceeds the environmental standard the Institute is directly responsible or accepts responsibility the Institute expects that future economic benefits will be given up and a reasonable estimate of the amount can be made. The liability includes all costs

directly attributable to remediation activities including post remediation operation, maintenance and monitoring.

e) Government transfers

Government transfers are the transfer of assets from government agencies and are not the result of any exchange transactions, and there is no expectation to repay the amounts in the future or a financial return. Government transfers are recognized in the fiscal year in which events giving rise to the transfer occur, providing the transfer is authorized, any eligibility criteria have been met and reasonable estimates of the amounts can be made.

Page 29: PAMI | Innovative solutions for Agriculture and Beyondpami.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/PAMI_Annual_Report_2016-20… · SASKATCHEWAN ACT 1999 Ministry of Agriculture MANITOBA Department

 

 

 

f) Revenue recognition

The Institute’s operations are funded by the Government of Saskatchewan and the Government of Manitoba according to an agreement between the two provinces. Under Order in Council 1800/79, the Institute is not required to return the unused portion of the annual provincial transfers. The Institute recognizes provincial transfers when the transfer is authorized and eligibility criteria have been met by the Institute. The Institute recognizes fee for service revenue when the related services are provided. It recognizes fee for service on contracts using the percentage of completion method. It records monies received prior to providing services as unearned revenue. All other income is recognized when earned.

g) Basis of segmentation

The Institute has adopted the Canadian public sector accounting standards requiring financial information to be provided on a segmented basis. The Institute has been segmented by accountability center. Revenues that are directly related to the costs of the segment have been attributed to each segment. The segments are as follows:

Corporate Services provides for the administration of the Institute.

Saskatchewan Operations is an applied research, design, development and testing segment. It serves the agricultural, industrial, transportation, military and other market sectors.

Manitoba Operations is an applied research, design, development and testing

segment. It serves the agricultural, industrial, transportation, military and other market sectors.

Western Beef Development Centre (WBDC) applies and transfers beef

research to improve profitability of the cow/calf sector of the beef industry.

h) Foreign currency translation

Monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities prior to settlement that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars on the balance sheet date at the exchange rate in effect for that date and are recorded in the Statement of Remeasurement Gains and Losses. In the period of settlement, the cumulative amount of the remeasurement gains and losses are reversed in the Statement of Remeasurement Gains and Losses and an exchange gain or loss is recognized in the Statement of Operations and Accumulated Surplus. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at the approximate exchange rate in effect for that date and are included in the determination of net income for the year.

i) Measurement uncertainty The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.

Page 30: PAMI | Innovative solutions for Agriculture and Beyondpami.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/PAMI_Annual_Report_2016-20… · SASKATCHEWAN ACT 1999 Ministry of Agriculture MANITOBA Department

 

 

 

Accounts receivable are stated after evaluation as to their collectability and an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is provided where considered necessary. Accounts receivable includes fee for service revenue on contracts based on an estimate of the percentage of completion at the time of measurement. The measurement of materials and supplies are based on estimates of volume and quality. Amortization is based on the estimated useful lives of tangible capital assets. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. The degree of uncertainty associated with the measurement of estimated amounts recognized in the financial statements is not material.

3. Due from General Revenue Fund

Due from General Revenue Fund is money held in a bank account included in the Government of Saskatchewan’s Consolidated Offset Bank Concentration arrangement. The Institute receives interest on a quarterly basis from the General Revenue Fund calculated using the Government of Saskatchewan’s thirty-day borrowing rate and the Institute’s average daily bank account balance. For 2017, the average interest rate was .54% (2016 – .60%).

In addition, the Institute pays Saskatchewan and Manitoba provincial sales tax on its taxable purchases made in those provinces. Taxes paid are recorded as part of the cost of those purchases. Other transactions with related parties and amounts due to/from them are described separately in the financial statements and the notes thereto.

10. Pensions

The Institute’s employees participate in the Saskatchewan Public Employees Pension Plan, a multi-employer defined contribution pension plan. Pension benefits are based on accumulated contributions and investment earnings. The Institute’s responsibility is limited to paying the required employer contributions of 6% of regular salaries. In 2017 the Institute made contributions of $300,697 (2016 - $299,241) which are funded from current operations.

11. Financial risk management

Risks have been identified and the Institute ensures that management monitors and controls them. The significant financial risks to which the Institute is exposed are:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Institute is exposed to credit risk on the accounts receivable from its customers. In order to reduce its credit risk, the Institute applies sound credit practices. The Institute incurred insignificant bad debt expense during the past five years. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market price. Market risk is comprised of currency risk and interest rate risk.

                   Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Institute is exposed to currency risk on its cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The Institute does not use any derivative financial instruments to alter the effects of this risk.

 The Institute enters into transactions denominated in United States currency for which the related revenues, expenses, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. As at March 31, 2017 the following items are denominated in United States currency (CAD converted at $1 USD - 1.331 CAD (2016 – 1.2971 CAD)):     2017   2016 Cash $32,949   $32,466 Accounts payable 8,456   8,909

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Institute's exposure to interest rate risk is limited to the line of credit and trade payables. The interest rate on this debt is variable; therefore, the Institute may face increasing interest costs in an increasing interest rate market.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Institute’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the receipt of funds from its operations, external borrowings and other related sources. Funds from these sources are primarily used to finance working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and are considered adequate to meet the Institute’s financial obligations.

12. Budget The budget for 2016/2017 was approved by the Board on April 11, 2016. The budget figures are presented for comparison purposes.

13. Contractual obligations

The Institute has committed to provide future services to several research and development projects. At March 31, 2017, the value of these services totals $310,246 (2016 - $311,895). Lease terms on vehicles, equipment and land range from 1 month to 10 years. In 2017, these lease costs totalled $98,272 (2016 - $104,105). The Institute is required to make the following minimum lease payments on these leases:

2018 $ 35,922 2019 8,050 2020 8,050 2021 5,854 2022 - 2026 2,625

Under contract with Western Canada Testing Inc. (WESTEST), the Institute manages and operates WESTEST under the direction of WESTEST’s Board of Directors. WESTEST retains an equipment utilization fee on WESTEST projects with the balance of the project revenue due to the Institute. During the year, the Institute earned fee for service revenue of $280,267 (2016 - $242,926) from WESTEST. At year-end, accounts receivable includes $325,438 (2016 - $231,452) due from WESTEST.

14. Future application of accounting standards

Effective April 1, 2017 the Institute will apply the following PSAB standards:

PS 2200 Related Party Disclosures - a new standard defining related parties and establishing guidance on disclosure requirements for related party transactions.

PS 3210 Assets - a new standard providing guidance for applying the definition of assets and establishing disclosure requirements for assets.

PS 3320 Contingent Assets - a new standard defining and establishing guidance on disclosure requirements for contingent assets.

PS 3380 Contractual Rights - a new standard defining and establishing guidance on disclosure requirements for contractual rights.
