1$. Contingent Liabilities

Sipeknekatik has entered into contribution agreements with various federal and provincial governmentpartners. Funding received under these contribution agreements is subject to repayment if the FirstNation fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the agreements. The likelihood of compliancerevies and any potential findings are not determinable as at the date on the auditors report.

Subsidy assistance payments received through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation pursuant toSection 56.1 of the National Housing Act are subject to repayment if the First Nation fails to comply withthe terms and conditions of the agreement. As at March 31, 2015, the First Nation has not fully compliedwith all the terms and conditions including its failure to calculate rent-to-income in accordance with subparagraph 2(5) of the Operating Agreement and its failure to maintain the required replacement reserve.To the best of managements knowledge, the entity will not have to repay any of the subsidy assistancepayments received and thus, no amount has been recorded to reflect this potential liability.

hi addition, in the normal course of its operations. the First Nation becomes involved in legal actions.Some of these potential liabilities may become actual liabilities when one or more future events occurs orfail to occur. To the extent that the future event is likely to occur, and a reasonable estimate of the losscan he made. an estimated liability is accrued and an expense recorded on the First Nations financialstatements.

When the future event and/or ability to estimate involves more uncertainty, the action or claim isconsidered a contingent liability.

19. Other Matters

As a result of financial concerns and irregularities. Chief and Council of Sipeknekatik engaged a firm tocarry out a forensic audit, which commenced May, 2012.

In part. the firm is to review certain financial transactions in particular any that were not properlyauthorized. including hut not limited to the following amounts included in Note 7:

Due from MRJJ Management Inc. $ 59,200Due from Amcrest Management Inc. 172,200Unapproved transfers 306,000

The First Nation has made a claim to its insurer for a potential recovery. The likelihood and amount ofrecovery are both unknown at this time.

22. Financial Instruments Risks and Uncertainties

The First Nation is exposed to the following risks in respect of certain of the financial instruments held:

Credit risk

The financial instruments that potentially subject the First Nation to a significant concentration of creditrisk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.

The First Nation maintains cash balances with Canadian chartered banks which is insured by the CanadaDeposit Insurance Corporation up to CDN $100,000. From time to time, these balances exceed thefederall\ insured limits and expose the First Nation to credit risk from concentration of cash. The First\ation limits this risk by transacting with reputable financial institutions.

The First Nation does have credit risk in accounts receivable $989.735 (2014- $1,281,766), Credit risk isthe risk that one party to a transaction will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party toincur a financial loss. The First Nation reduces its exposure to credit risk by performing valuations on aregular basis and creating an allowance for bad debts when applicable. The First Nation derivessubstantially all of its revenues and therefore, accounts receivable, from government sources. In theopinion of management. the credit risk exposure to the First Nation is low and is not material.

Liquidity risk

The First Nation does have a liquidity risk in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities of S5693.1 17(2014- $6,635,807). Liquidity risk is the risk that the First Nation cannot repay its obligations when they

become due to its creditors. The First Nation reduces its exposure to liquidity risk by ensuring that itdocuments when authorized payments become due.

Interest rate risk

The First Nation is exposed to interest rate risk. This risk exists due to interest rate exposure on certainterm loans, which are variable based on the banks prime rates. This exposure may have an effect on itsinterest expenses in future periods. The First Nation reduces its exposure to interest rate risk by regularlymonitoring published bank prime interest rates which have been relatively stable over the periodpresented. There are some loans payable that are at fixed term rates and therefore, do not affect interestrate risk. The First Nation does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.In the opinion of management the interest rate risk exposure to the First Nation is low and is not material.

23. Budgeted figures

lJnaudited budgeted figures have been provided for comparison purposes and have been derived from theestimates approved by the Chief and Council.

REVIEW ENGAGEMENT REPORT

To the Chief, Council and Members of Sipeknekatik

We have reviewed the schedules of salaries, honoraria and travel paid to Chief and Council. andsalaries and travel paid to senior management of Sipeknekatik for the year ended March 31,2015. These schedules were prepared in accordance with the instructions in the AboriginalAffairs and Northern Development Canada Year End Financial Reporting Handbook, 2014-2015. Our review was made in accordance with Canadian generally accepted standards forreview engagements and, accordingly, consisted primarily of enquiry, analytical procedures anddiscussion related to information supplied to us by the First Nation.

A review does not constitute an audit and, consequently, we do not express an audit opinion onthese schedules.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that theseschedules have not been prepared, in all material respects. in accordance with the instructions inthe handbook described above.

These schedules, which have not been, and were not intended to be, prepared in accordance withCanadian generally accepted accounting principles, are solely for the information and use of themembers of Sipeknekatik and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada for thepurpose of complying with the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada Year EndFinancial Reporting Handbook. 2014-2015.
