*2009-10 restated

During the year, the NEB adopted the revised Treasury Board Accounting Standard (TBAS) 1.2 - Departmental and Agency Financial Statements which is effective for the Board for the 2010-11 fiscal year. The major change in NEB accounting policies required by the adoption of the revised TBAS 1.2 is the recording of amounts due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund as an asset on the Statement of Financial Position.

The most significant change in the Statement of Financial position relates to liabilities and, specifically, Deferred Revenue which represents the balance at year-end of unearned regulatory levies. The NEB cost recovers its annually estimated expenditures on a quarterly basis and recognizes the revenue in the fiscal quarter related to these estimated expenditures. A change in the National Energy Board Cost Recovery Regulations in 2009-10 resulted in a one-time transitional annual billing for the period January to December 2010. One-quarter of this revenue has been recognized in 2009-10 and three-quarters has been recorded as Deferred Revenue related to the 2010-11 fiscal year.

Condensed Statement of Operations
For the year ended March 31, 2011 ($ thousands)

	% Change	2010-11	2009-10
Total Expenses	9.3%	66,834	61,155
Total Revenues	4.7%	65,260	62,344
Net Cost of Operations	-232.4%	1,574	(1,189)

A change in the accounting treatment for the billing adjustment was implemented during the 2009-10 fiscal period. In previous fiscal periods, the billing adjustment was recognized when invoiced. Beginning in 2009-10, the billing adjustment will be recognized in the period in which the variance arises. In this transition year, the billing adjustment applicable to both 2008 and 2009 was recorded in fiscal year 2010 (2009-10), resulting in a significant increase to revenue and a corresponding decline in 2011 (2010-11). This should stabilize on a go-forward basis and the normal trends expected due to the cost-recovery process will be evident.
