MESSAGE FROM

the Mayor The Town of Rocky Mountain House has been built by people who know the value of hard work. Folks here get up early, put in a full day, help their neighbours and take pride in where they live. And there’s a lot to be proud of. This annual financial and community report, for the year ending December 31, 2025, reflects on some of the challenges and triumphs of the 2025 fiscal year. Budget 2025 committed funds to future planning: designs for new municipal facilities, infill and outline plans so we can be ready for grant opportunities as they become available. These reports don’t just sit on a shelf – they inform Council’s decisions on recreation, planning and policing, and demonstrate to the public that we are making informed choices. The municipal police model study evaluated the best way to provide policing and public safety services in the Town of Rocky Mountain House. Policing makes up a large portion of the Town’s annual budget ($2.4 million/year), and this was important work to determine the best policing model for us. This work continues into 2026 with the evaluation of the Alberta Sheriffs as a possible police provider. Comprehensive public engagement was the foundation of our updated Recreation Master Plan, also completed in 2025. This plan informs the direction of capital and operation spending in recreation, and demonstrates the Town is responsive to the public’s wants and needs. In 2025, we saw the near completion of construction on our new Bike Park, the installation of a 9-hole Disc Golf Course, and the addition of a small dog area at the off-leash dog park, as well as additional trail amenities. Planning exercises for infill housing opportunities and the future redevelopment of the Rocky Elementary School site show us what’s possible if and when it is time to break ground.

Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Canadian Award for Financial Reporting to the Town of Rocky Mountain House for its annual financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The Canadian Award for Financial Reporting program was established to encourage municipal governments throughout Canada to publish high quality financial reports and to provide peer recognition and technical guidance for officials preparing these reports. In order to be awarded a Canadian Award for Financial Reporting, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual financial report, whose contents conform to program standards. Such reports should go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles and demonstrate an effort to clearly communicate the municipal government’s financial picture, enhance an understanding of financial reporting by municipal governments, and address user needs.

Award for Financial Reporting

A Canadian Award for Financial Reporting is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current report continues to conform to the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting program requirements, and we are will be submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

FRAMEWORK

The Town’s Financial Management Framework provides a disciplined and transparent approach to planning, budgeting, and delivering municipal services. It aligns Council’s strategic priorities with operational planning and financial decision-making, ensuring resources are directed to the services, programs, and infrastructure that matter most to residents. At the foundation of the framework is Council’s Strategic Plan, which establishes the community’s vision, priorities, and long-term objectives. Reviewed annually, the Strategic Plan guides decisions about service delivery, resource allocation, and investment in community infrastructure. A key component of this framework is the Service Level Review process, which helps Council evaluate municipal services, establish priorities, and ensure resources are aligned with community needs and financial capacity.

SERVICE LEVEL REVIEW Service Level Reviews are an important part of the Town’s planning and budgeting process. They provide a structured approach to evaluating municipal programs and services to ensure they remain relevant, effective, and financially sustainable.

16

Town of Rocky Mountain House 2025 Annual Report

Through this process, programs and services are reviewed to: Confirm their purpose and community value Define current service levels Identify opportunities for improvement and efficiency Align services with Council’s priorities and available resources Programs are evaluated and classified in accordance with Council’s Core Services Policy, creating a consistent and transparent foundation for budget development and resource allocation.

FINANCIAL POLICIES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS The Town is committed to the responsible stewardship of public funds through strong governance, sound financial management practices, and accountability to residents. A comprehensive framework of financial policies and internal controls safeguards municipal assets, manages financial risk, and ensures compliance with legislative and accounting requirements. These measures provide oversight throughout the organization and support informed decision-making by Council and Administration.


Key financial controls include: Defined approval authorities and spending limits Segregation of financial responsibilities Regular review and reconciliation of financial records Quarterly financial reporting Independent annual financial audit Supporting policies govern: Budgeting and taxation Procurement and purchasing Asset management Disposal of surplus assets Signing authority Tangible capital assets Environmental liabilities Corporate credit card use Council remuneration Reserve and surplus management Related-party disclosures

Measurement of Strategic Plan Goals

A central objective of the budgeting process is to balance current service demands with long-term financial sustainability. This requires careful consideration of operating requirements, infrastructure investment, funding opportunities, reserve levels, debt obligations, and future growth.

Service Level Review

Budget Annual Audit Interim Financial Reporting

Annual Activity

The budget is more than an annual spending plan—it is the Town’s primary tool for aligning financial resources with strategic priorities and community needs. The budget includes: An annual operating budget with a four-year financial forecast An annual capital budget with a ten-year capital plan

Together, these policies strengthen financial accountability, support effective governance, and maintain public confidence in the management of taxpayer resources.

Strategic Plan

LONG-TERM FINANICAL PLANNING AND BUDGETING

In developing the budget, Council considers: Community priorities and service expectations Available grant funding Existing and projected tax revenues Future operating and maintenance costs Debt financing and repayment requirements Infrastructure renewal and replacement needs This balanced approach supports continued investment in municipal infrastructure and community services while maintaining affordability for taxpayers and preserving the Town’s long-term financial health.

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY Regular financial reporting enables Council to monitor performance, evaluate results, and ensure public resources are managed responsibly. Throughout the year, Administration provides: Quarterly financial reports Budget-to-actual comparisons Variance analysis and performance updates These reports provide transparency, support informed decision-making, and help Council respond proactively to emerging opportunities and challenges. Following year-end, a comprehensive financial review is presented to Council after completion of the annual audit, providing a final assessment of the Town’s financial position and operating results.

Town of Rocky Mountain House Annual Report

17


INDEPENDENT ANNUAL AUDIT Transparency and accountability are further strengthened through an independent annual financial audit, as required under the Municipal Government Act. The external auditor reviews the Town’s financial records, accounting practices, and financial statements, and provides an independent opinion on whether the financial statements fairly present the Town’s financial position in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards. For 2025, Baker Tilly WCR LLP serves as the Town’s independent external auditor.

AUDIT COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES The Audit Committee, consisting of all members of Council, provides oversight of the Town’s financial reporting and audit process. The Committee is responsible for: Appointing the external auditor Approving the audit engagement Reviewing audit findings and recommendations Approving the audited financial statements Ensuring Administration fulfills its financial stewardship responsibilities Through independent oversight, rigorous review, and strong governance practices, the Audit Committee helps maintain public confidence in the Town’s financial management and reinforces Council’s commitment to accountability, transparency, and responsible stewardship of public resources.

REGIONAL RELATIONSHIPS The Town of Rocky Mountain House operates independently but collaborates with regional entities to enhance services. Key partnerships include Clearwater County and Parkland Regional Library Board. Numerous other service groups also share resources or information to improve service delivery.

18

Town of Rocky Mountain House 2025 Annual Report


PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE The Town of Rocky Mountain House remains committed to providing sound financial stewardship for the public it serves. A fully funded 10-year capital plan has been developed and approved, ensuring continued maintenance of infrastructure and services while preserving the necessary financial reserves for future needs. Through strategic planning, service level reviews and a rigorous budgeting process, Council ensures Town operations are running as efficiently as possible. With the Town’s financial house in order and the supporting legislative and policy framework established, Council’s new Strategic Plan focuses in part on setting the Town up for future opportunities. The 2026 budget allots funds for the development of serviced, shovel-ready land for residential and commercial use, positioning for phase 1 of a new multi-plex and a commitment to housing for all now, and in the future. This priorities will allow the Town to quickly and effectively respond to new opportunities as they arise.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND OPERATING RESULTS The audited statements provide a comprehensive overview through consolidated statements of: Financial position Operations Changes in net financial assets Cash flows

20

Town of Rocky Mountain House 2025 Annual Report

Additionally, several supporting schedules detail major activity categories, accompanied by notes that explain balance sheet items and other operational activities throughout the year. These statements reflect the Town's operational activities for the 2025 fiscal year.


CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION This statement presents the assets and liabilities at a specific point in time, highlighting the Town's financial position by showcasing net financial assets and accumulated surplus.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION

Financial assets include cash, investments, accounts receivable, and land held for resale and inventory for consumption. Liabilities comprise accounts payable, deferred revenue, long-term debt, and asset retirement obligations. The difference between assets and liabilities represents the net financial position, indicating the amount of cash the organization would have if all assets and liabilities were liquidated. The Town demonstrates a strong financial position with growing reserve balances and net financial assets (remaining assets after liabilities are paid) amounting to $25 million. Non-financial assets have increased by $11 million from 2024 due to the completion of capital projects being added to tangible capital assets. This figure is expected to rise significantly in 2026 with the completion of the $30 million wastewater treatment plant.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

The surplus or deficit for the year, shown as the excess of revenue over expenses, serves as a critical performance and accountability measure.

Revenues were higher than budget by $679,000 due to higher recreation user fees and rentals along with higher grants and donations for projects and grants received that were not anticipated when the budget was prepared. This includes the energy manager and provincial recycling program grants. Expenditures were $1.3 million under budget. Expenditures were lower in protective services costs in RCMP, Fire and Bylaw due to vacant positions during the year in RCMP and Bylaw and lower fire billings because they were able to generate more revenue than planned. Water and wastewater are under budget, however, any surplus in these areas is transferred to reserves. The operational expense budget for the new wastewater treatment plant of $500,000 was not utilized as the opening of the plant was delayed until 2026. Parks and recreation expenditures are over budget because there has been higher use of recreational facilities. This is offset by increased revenue and is due to additional staff being required to accommodate higher customer usage at the pool. The accumulated surplus increased by $1.2 million, reflecting both the annual operational surplus and the addition of tangible capital assets.

COMPARISON TO PRIOR YEAR Revenues in 2025 were $220,000 higher than in 2024. Revenues increased by $1.4 million but this was offset by the $1 million donation received in 2024. The major factors contributing to this increase are: Property Tax Increase: A 1.77% increase generated an additional $277,000 and new assessment generated $36,000 Sales & User Fees, Permits & Licenses, and Franchise Fees: New utility rates and higher user fees in recreation generated an additional $758,000 in revenue. Grant Revenue: Additional operating grant revenue was received in 2025 due to the implementation of extended producer responsibility (EPR) being responsible for recycling costs through a grant program to municipalities.

EXPENSES Overall Expenses: The total expenditures for the year were very close to the budgeted amounts, and were under budget by $1.3 million, including amortization. Regular Operating Expenses: Regular operating expenditures are $1.7 million under budget. The main areas consisting of utilities being under by $1.1 million as the opening of the wastewater treatment plant was delayed until 2026. There were several vacant positions during the year which brought salaries and benefits under budget. Amortization: Amortization was over budget as there were several large new assets added in 2025 that were not included in the amortization projection when it was prepared for the budget. As a non-cash transaction, this overage does not impact the cash flow directly but affects the overall accounting of asset depreciation.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET FINANCIAL ASSETS The Statement of Changes in Net Financial Assets provides a reconciliation of the change in net financial assets between the current period and the prior year. This statement connects the annual operating surplus or deficit, as reported in the Statement of Operations, to the change in net assets indicated in the Statement of Financial Position. The main variances are due to a higher surplus than planned and a lower increase in capital assets because due to the delay in completing the wastewater treatment plant.

____________________ BAKER TILLY WCR LLP Suite #201, 5133 - 49 Street P.O. Box 100 Rocky Mountain House, AB Canada, T4T 1A1 O: 1 (403) 845-3226 F: 1 (403) 845-5666

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Mayor and Council of the Town of Rocky Mountain House Opinion We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Town of Rocky Mountain House (the "Town"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in net financial assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Town as at December 31, 2025, and the results of its consolidated operations, change in net financial assets and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Town in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors' report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact to the Mayor and Council.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (Continued)

Responsibilities of management and Council for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Town's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Council is responsible for overseeing the Town's financial reporting process. Auditors' responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

32

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Town's internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Town's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Town to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Town of Rocky Mountain House 2025 Annual Report


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (Continued)

We communicate with Council regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

TOWN OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 The Town of Rocky Mountain House (the Town) is a municipality in the Province of Alberta, Canada and operates under the provisions of the Municipal Government Act, R.S.A., 2000, c. M-26, as amended (MGA). 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of the Town are the representations of management prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for local governments established by the Public Sector Accounting Board and as published by the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Town are as follows:

(a)

Reporting Entity

The financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, changes in fund balances and change in financial position of the reporting entity. This entity is comprised of municipal operations plus all the organizations that are owned or controlled by the Town and are, therefore, accountable to the Town Council for the administration of their financial affairs and resources. Included in these financial statements are fifty percent of the Rocky Mountain House Municipal Airport assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The schedule of taxes levied also includes operating requisitions for education, health, social and other external organizations that are not part of the municipal reporting entity. The statements exclude trust assets that are administered for the benefit of external parties. Interdepartmental and organizational transactions and balances are eliminated.

(b)

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting records revenue as it is earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized as they are incurred and measurable based upon receipt of goods or services and/or the legal obligation to pay. Funds from external parties and earnings thereon restricted by agreement or legislation are accounted for as deferred revenue until used for the purpose specified. Government transfers, contributions and other amounts are received from third parties pursuant to legislation, regulation or agreement and may only be used for 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 provided. Revenue is recognized in the period when the related expenses are incurred, services performed or the tangible capital assets are acquired.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (c)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Canadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Where estimation uncertainty exists, the financial statements have been prepared within reasonable limits of materiality. Actual results could differ from estimates. The amounts recorded for valuation of tangible capital assets, non-vesting employee benefit liabilities, asset retirement obligation, contingent liabilities and commitments and accruals are areas where management makes significant estimates and assumptions in determining the amounts to be recorded in the financial statements.

(d)

Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Town's financial assets and liabilities are measured as follows:

Financial statement component Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Long-term receivable Investments Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Security deposits Demand loan Long-term debt (e)

Measurement cost and amortized cost lower of cost or net recoverable value lower of cost or net recoverable value amortized cost cost cost amortized cost amortized cost

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes items that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, and have a maturity of three months or less at acquisition.

(f)

Investments

Investments consist of amounts held in term deposit accounts with a maturity date exceeding 90 days and less than one year from the balance sheet date.

(g)

Debt Charges Recoverable

Debt charges recoverable consist of amounts that are recoverable from municipal agencies or other local governments with respect to outstanding debentures or other long-term debt pursuant to annexation orders or joint capital undertakings. These recoveries are recorded at a value that equals the offsetting portion of the un-matured long-term debt, less actuarial requirements for retirement of any sinking fund debentures.

(h)

Long-term Receivables

Long-term receivables are initially measured at cost with valuation allowances subsequently used to reflect loans receivable at the lower of cost and net recoverable value. Changes in valuation allowances are recognized as expenses in the statement of operations. Interest revenue is recognized when earned, to the extent the collectibility of the loan and interest is reasonably assured. 46

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ( i)

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt is initially recognized net of any premiums, discounts, fees and transactions costs, with interest expense recognized using the effective interest method. Long-term debt is subsequently measured at amortized cost.

( j)

Requisition Over-levy and Under-levy

Over-levies and under-levies arise from the difference between the actual property tax levy made to cover each requisition and the actual amount requisitioned. If the actual levy exceeds the requisition, the over-levy is accrued as a liability and property tax revenue is reduced. Where the actual levy is less than the requisition amount, the under-levy is accrued as a receivable and as property tax revenue. Requisition tax rates in the subsequent year are adjusted for any over-levies or under-levies of the prior year.

(k)

Land for Resale Inventory

Land held for resale is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes costs for land acquisition and improvements required to prepare the land for servicing such as clearing, stripping and leveling charges. Related development costs incurred to provide infrastructure such as water and wastewater services, roads, sidewalks and street lighting are recorded as physical assets under the respective function.

( l)

Tax Revenue

Tax revenues are recognized when the tax has been authorized by bylaw and the taxable event has occurred. Requisitions operate as a flow through and are excluded from municipal revenue.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (m)

Asset Retirement

A liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized at the best estimate of the amount required to retire a tangible capital asset at the financial statement date when there is a legal obligation for the Town to incur retirement costs, the past transaction or event giving rise to the liability has occurred, it is expected that future economic benefits will be given up, and a reasonable estimate of the amount can be made. The best estimate of the liability includes all costs directly attributable to asset retirement activities, based on information available at year-end. The best estimate of an asset retirement obligation incorporates a present value technique, when the cash flows required to settle or otherwise extinguish an asset retirement obligation are expected to occur over extended future periods. When a liability for an asset retirement obligation is initially recognized, a corresponding asset retirement cost is capitalized to the carrying amount of the related tangible capital asset. The asset retirement cost is amortized over the useful life of the related asset. Asset retirement obligations which are incurred incrementally with use of the asset are recognized in the period incurred with a corresponding asset retirement cost expensed in the period. At each financial reporting date, the Town reviews the carrying amount of the liability. The Town recognizes period-to-period changes to the liability due to the passage of time as accretion expense. Changes to the liability arising from revisions to either the timing, the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows or the discount rate are recognized as an increase or decrease to the carrying amount of the related tangible capital asset. The Town continues to recognize the liability until it is settled or otherwise extinguished. Disbursements made to settle the liability are deducted from the reported liability when they are made.

(n)

Revenue recognition

Revenue from transactions with no performance obligation is recognized at realizable value when the Town has the authority to claim or retain an inflow of economic resources and identifies a past transaction or event giving rise to an asset. Revenue from transactions with performance obligations is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied by providing the promised goods or services to the payer. User fees are recognized over the period of use, sales of goods are recognized when goods are delivered. Licenses and permits with a single performance obligation at a point in time are recognized as revenue on issuance, those which result in a continued performance obligation over time are recognized over the period of the license or permit as the performance obligation is satisfied. Requisitions operate as a flow through and are excluded from municipal revenue.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (o)

Employment Benefits Liabilities

The Town recognizes liabilities for post-employment benefits and compensated absences that vest or accumulate during the period in which the employment services are rendered, assuming payment of benefits is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Accumulating, vesting benefits liabilities are measured at cost. Accumulating, non-vesting benefits liabilities are recognized at cost to the extent they are expected to be used by employees.

(p)

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues represent government transfers, donations, and other amounts which have been collected, but for which the related services have yet to be performed or agreement stipulations have not been met. These amounts will be recognized as revenues when revenue recognition criteria have been met. Interest earned on deferred revenues, reserves, and offsite levies are calculated using an average investment earnings monthly.

(q)

Pension

The Town participates in a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan. Contributions for current and past service pension benefits are recorded as expenses in the year in which they become due. See Note 18 for details of the pension plan.

(r)

Government Transfers

Government transfers are the transfer of assets from senior levels of government that are not the result of an exchange transaction, are not expected to be repaid in the future, or the result of a direct financial return. Government transfers are recognized in the financial statements as revenue in the period in which 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 determined.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (s)

Non-Financial Assets

Non-financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended for sale in the normal 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.

( i)

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 the estimated useful life as follows: Land Improvements Buildings Engineered structures Water System Wastewater System Other engineered structures Machinery and Equipment Vehicles

-

15-20 years 25-50

-

35-75 35-75 15-40 5-20 10-25

No amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and a full year of amortization is taken in the year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use.

(ii)

Contributions of Tangible Capital Assets

Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at fair value at the date of receipt and also are recorded as revenue.

(iii)

Leases

Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property 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.

(iv)

Inventories

Inventories held for consumption are recorded at the lower of cost determined on a specific identification basis and net realizable value.

(v )

Cultural and Historical Tangible Capital Assets

Works of art for display are not recorded as tangible capital assets but are disclosed.

Contaminated Sites Liability

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 an environmental standard. The liability is recorded net of any expected recoveries. A liability for remediation of a contaminated site is recognized when the Town is either directly responsible or accepts responsibility and is management's estimate of the cost of post-remediation including operation, maintenance and monitoring.

Vacation and incentive time The vacation and bank time liability is comprised of the vacation and overtime that employees are deferring to future years. Employees have either earned the benefits (and are vested) or are entitled to these benefits within the next budgetary year. Personal time The personal time liability is management's estimate of the cost of sick time that has accrued to employees and will be taken in future years as paid time off. Employees can accrue and carryover up to 320 hours (2024 - 320 hours) of sick time but are not entitled to pay-in-lieu of unused sick time upon termination of their employment. Based on historical information management expects that 34% (2024 37%) of the accrued sick hours will be used. 8.

SECURITY DEPOSITS Security deposits consist of financial deposits for private development, rental deposits and deposits on utility accounts. Private development deposits are held by the Town to ensure that the development has been completed to the required specifications. Deposits are for items such as landscaping, fencing, paving and service connections. Rental deposits are held by the Town to ensure that rental spaces and properties are left clean and in good repair after the rental period. Utility account deposits are for rental properties where utility bills are in the tenant’s name. deposits are for unpaid utilities.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION Landfill Pursuant to an agreement the Town has accepted partial responsibility for a post-closure liability. The Town has agreed to fund 34.5% of future closure and post-closure costs of a landfill. Closure and post-closure activities include the final clay cover, landscaping, as well as surface and ground water monitoring, leachate control, and visual inspection. A liability for the total obligation, which was incurred pursuant to the agreement, has been accrued. Undiscounted future cash flows expected are a closure cost in year 2037 of $19,247 (2024 - $19,194) with annual post-closure activities starting in the year 2037 of $290,681 (2024 - $289,886) per year, increasing at an annual inflation rate of 2.33% (2024 - 2.31%) for 25 years to year 2061. The estimated total liability is based on the sum of discounted future cash flows for closure and post-closure activities for 25 years after closure using a discount rate of 4.56% (2024 - 4.91%) and assuming annual inflation of 2.33% (2024 - 2.31%). The Town has not designated assets for settling closure and post-closure liabilities. The accrued liability portion is based on the cumulative capacity used at year end compared to the estimated total landfill capacity. The total capacity of the site is estimated at 2.305 million cubic metres. The estimated used capacity of the landfill site is 2.305 million cubic metres. There is no estimated remaining life in years. Post-closure care is estimated to be required until 2061.

Asbestos abatement The Town owns a building which contains asbestos and, therefore, the Town is legally required to perform abatement activities upon renovation or demolition of this building. Abatement activities include handling and disposing of the asbestos in a prescribed manner when it is disturbed. Undiscounted future cash flows expected are an abatement cost in year 2030 of $250,000. The estimated total liability of $250,000 is based on the sum of discounted future cash flows for abatement activities using a discount rate of 4.90% and assuming annual inflation of 2.00%. The Town has not designated assets for settling the abatement activities.

DEBT LIMITS AND DEBT SERVICING LIMIT Section 276(2) of the Municipal Government Act requires that debt and debt limits as defined by Alberta Regulation 255/00 for the Town of Rocky Mountain House be disclosed as follows: 2025 Total debt limit Total debt Amount of debt limit unused

6,956,110 2,516,629 4,439,481

The debt limit is calculated at 1.5 times revenue of the municipality excluding transfers from the government of Alberta and Canada for the purposes of capital property (as defined in Alberta Regulation 255/2000) and the debt service limit is calculated at 0.25 times such revenue. Incurring debt beyond these limitations requires approval by the Minister of Municipal Affairs. These thresholds are guidelines used by Alberta Municipal Affairs to identify municipalities that could be at financial risk if further debt is acquired. The calculation taken alone does not represent the financial stability of the municipality. Rather, the financial statements must be interpreted as a whole. Total debt includes long-term debt less debt charges recoverable. Debt servicing includes principal and interest payment due on long-term debt in the 12 months subsequent to year-end less amounts that are recoverable.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Town of Rocky Mountain House's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investments, taxes receivable, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities , accounts payable - tangible capital assets, and long-term debt. It is management's opinion that the Town is not exposed to significant interest or currency risks arising from these financial instruments. Taxes receivable and requisition over/under-levy are compulsory in nature, rather than contractual, however, the Town manages risk exposure on these items similar to other receivables and payables. Credit risk Credit risk arises from the possibility that taxpayers and entities to which the Town provides services may experience financial difficulty and be unable to fulfill their obligations. The Town is exposed to some credit risk with respect to taxes and grants in place of taxes receivables and trade and other receivables. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Town manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring cash flows. It is management's opinion that the Town is not subject to liquidity risk. 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 prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price 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 Town does not transact in foreign currencies. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Town is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the carrying value of some cash and long-term debts are at fixed rates of interest whereas some cash and cash equivalents, revolving operating loan and bank demand loan have floating interest rates, which if the rate changes, would affect future cash flows. Other price risk Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Town does not have significant exposure to other price risk.
