1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

(e) Financial instruments;

Financial instruments are recorded at fair value on initial recognition. Freestanding derivativeinstruments that are not in a qualifying hedging relationship and equity instruments that arequoted in an active market are subsequently measured at fair value. All other financialinstruments are subsequently recorded at cost or amortized cost, unless management haselected to carry the instruments at fair value. The Corporation has not elected to carry anysuch financial instruments at fair value.

Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition of financial instruments measured subsequentlyat fair value are expensed as incurred. All other financial instruments are adjusted bytransaction costs incurred on acquisition and financing costs, which are amortized using thestraight-line method.

Financial assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis at the end of the fiscal yearif there are indicators of impairment. If there is an indicator of impairment, the Corporationdetermines if there is a significant adverse change in th& expected amount or timing of futurecash flows from the financial asset. If there is a significant adverse change in the expectedcash flows, the carrying value of the financial asset is reduced to the highest of the presentvalue of the expected cash flows, the amount that could be realized from selling the financialasset or the amount the Corporation expects to realize by exercising its right to any collateral.If events and circumstances reverse in a future period, an impairment loss will be reversed tothe extent of the improvement, not exceeding the initial carrying value.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

(g) Impaired loans and allowances for loan impairment;

Loans are stated at principal amounts including accrued interest receivable, net of allowancefor loan impairment. Interest on loans is recorded as income on an accrual basis except forloans that are considered impaired.

Loans are classified as impaired when there is deterioration in credit quality to the extent thatthe Corporation no longer has reasonable assurance that the full amount of principal andinterest will be collected. When a loan becomes impaired, recognition of interest incomeceases and any previously accrued interest that is unpaid is reversed against interest income.Any interest received on impaired loans is applied to the carrying amount of the loan unlessthe loan is fully secured and does not require a specific allowance, in which case interestincome is recognized on a cash basis.

For impaired loans measured on the basis of expected future cash flows, as explained underallowance for loan impairment, the increase in present value attributable to the passage oftime is recorded as interest income.

(h) Allowance for loan impairment:

The allowance for loan impairment is maintained at a level considered adequate to absorb thecredit losses existing in the Corporation’s portfolio. It reflects management’s best estimate oflosses existing in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased byan annual provision for credit losses, which is charged against income and reduced by writeoffs, net of recoveries.

The allowance for loan impairment comprises specific allowances.

Specific allowances are established on a loan-by-loan basis for impaired loans. The carryingamount of an impaired loan is reduced to its estimated realizable value by discounting theexpected future cash flows at the effective interest rate inherent in the loan or, if cash flowscannot be reasonably determined, by using the estimated fair value of any underlying security,

net of realization costs. Initial allowances as well as subsequent changes thereto arerecorded through the provision for credit losses as an adjustment to the specific allowance.

(i) Foreclosed assets:

Foreclosed assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost and estimated net realizablevalue. Cost is comprised of the balance of the loan plus interest accrued to the date on whichthe Corporation first determines the loan to be impaired, plus subsequent disbursementsrelated to the property less any revenues or lease payments received.
