Section III: Supplementary Information

Financial Highlights

In the previous sections, OCOL reports its actual spending based on a government funding basis (Public Accounts of Canada). In this section, the financial information is presented on an accrual accounting basis (financial statements).

Condensed Statement of Financial Position
As at March 31, 2011 ($000)

	% Change	2010–11	2009–10
Total assets	(12)	2,849	3,239
Total liabilities	2	5,381	5,276
Equity of Canada	(24)	(2,532)	(2,037)
Total	(12)	2,849	3,239

The decrease of $0.4 million in the assets at year-end is attributable to the fact that the net value of the tangible capital assets have decreased, as amortization expenses exceeded the purchase of new acquisitions.

The liabilities at year-end have not changed significantly compared to the previous fiscal year.

The decrease of $0.5 million in the Equity of Canada results mainly from the reduction of $0.4 million in assets.

Condensed Statement of Operations
For the year ended March 31, 2011 ($000)

	% Change	2010–11	2009–10
Total expenses	0.33	24,935	24,852
Total revenues	N/A	N/A	N/A
Net Cost of Operations	0.33	24,935	24,852

In 2010–11, OCOL’s net cost of operations was $24.9 million. The net increase of $83,000 from 2009–10 is mostly attributable to professional services costs. As a small organization, OCOL must call on professionals under service contracts since it cannot have on staff all the expertise required to fulfill its mandate.

• ¹ Type is defined as follows: Previously committed to—committed to in the first or second fiscal year before the subject year of the report; Ongoing—committed to at least three fiscal years before the subject year of the report; and New—newly committed to in the reporting year of the Departmental Performance Report.
• ² Planned spending: is the estimate of the amount that was expected to be spent for the year at the time the Report on Plans and Priorities was prepared.
• ³ Total Authorities: include both the Main Estimates for the year, as well as any additional funding provided by Parliament during the year.
• ⁴ Actual spending: represents the cash related expenses and acquisitions of assets such as tangible capital assets, made during the year and not the non-cash expenses incurred during the year as per the financial statements (i.e. services provided without charge by other departments).
• ⁵ Commencing in the 2009–10 Estimates cycle, the resources for Program Activity 3, Internal Services are displayed separately from other program activities; they are no longer distributed among the remaining program activities, as was the case in previous Main Estimates. This has affected the comparability of spending and FTE information by program activity between fiscal years.
• ⁶ Given the legislated requirement to pursue court action under the law, legal services are excluded from Internal Services at OCOL and form part of Program Activity 1 – Protection Through Compliance Assurance. Equally, given its specific mandate, OCOL’s communications services are not included in Internal Services but rather form part of Program Activity 2 – Promotion Through Policy and Communications.
