IIROC rule review

The Ontario Securities Commission approved the IIROC's housekeeping amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) version of Form 1 to amend the standard independent auditor's reports and make other non-material changes throughout Form 1. The Alberta Securities Commission, the Autorité des marches financiers, the Newfoundland and Labrador Securities Division, the New Brunswick Securities Commission, the Nova Scotia Securities Commission and the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission also approved the amendments. The British Columbia Securities Commission did not object to the amendments.

The relief was given to Dealer Members when the IFRS version was implemented.

The remaining amendments reflect corrections of non-material, unintentional editorial mistakes and references throughout the IFRS version of Form 1.

A copy of the IIROC Notice is attached as Appendix A, including the amended Forms.

IIROC Notice 13-0011

January 11, 2013

Amendments to IFRS version of Form 1

On November 28, 2012, the Board of Directors (the Board) of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) approved the proposed amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) version of Form 1 to amend the standard independent auditor's reports and make minor clarification changes throughout Form 1. The amendments are classified as "Housekeeping Rules" and are effective for reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2012.

Summary of the nature and purpose of the amendments

The proposed amendments to the standard independent auditor's reports within the IFRS version of Form 1 were developed jointly by IIROC's Brokers Auditor Committee and IIROC staff and reflect the end of the first year transitional relief (from providing certain comparative financial information) given to Dealer Members when the IFRS version of Form 1 was implemented.

IIROC staff has classified the amendments as "housekeeping", because they are reasonably necessary to ensure that IIROC's Rules conform to applicable securities legislation, statutory or legal requirements; in this case the Canadian Auditing Standards used by Chartered Accountants in the performance of financial statement audits.

The remaining proposed amendments that make minor clarification changes throughout the IFRS version of Form 1 were also classified as "housekeeping" by IIROC staff, because they:

• correct typographical mistakes and inaccurate cross referencing;

• make stylistic or formatting changes to headings or paragraph numbers; and/or

• make other minor changes of an editorial nature (such as standardization of terminology) that otherwise should have been made when IFRS was first adopted

The following are the proposed housekeeping amendments to the IFRS version of Form 1:

a) Independent Auditor's Reports and Notes and Instructions to the Independent Auditor's Reports

(i) Adding the prior year's date to the Independent Auditor's Reports: The purpose of the proposed change to the Independent Auditor's Reports is to reflect the end of the one year transitional relief given for the filing of the IFRS version of Form 1. This relief was an IIROC prescribed IFRS departure, in which IIROC did not require the inclusion of certain comparative prior year financial information. For subsequent Form 1 filings, audited comparative prior year financial information will be required to be included in the Form 1 filing and the independent auditor's reports will now refer to this comparative information.

(ii) Removing the "Going Concern" section: The purpose of the proposed change to the Independent Auditor's Report is to more clearly reflect that this section is an example of an "Emphasis of Matter{1}" paragraph and is not part of the standard Independent Auditor's Report. If such an Emphasis of Matter paragraph or "Other Matter" paragraph is required to be included in the Independent Auditor's Report under the Canadian Auditing Standards or determined appropriate by the independent auditor, the wording of such Matter paragraph will be determined by the independent auditor before the filing of the audited Form 1.

(iii) Removing the reference to "Alternate forms of Auditor's Reports" within the Notes and Instructions to the Independent Auditor's Reports: The purpose of the proposed change to the Notes and Instructions to the Independent Auditor's Reports is to reflect that IIROC no longer includes alternate forms of Independent Auditor's Reports on the internet site that houses the electronic version of Form 1, known as the Securities Industry Regulatory Financial Filings system or SIRFF.

(iv) Adding Schedule 13A and removing Schedule 15 from the "Unaudited Information" section of the Independent Auditor's Report for Statements A, E and F to Form 1: The purpose of the proposed changes is to more clearly identify in the "Independent Auditor's Report for Statements A, E and F" the Schedules that are not audited by the Dealer Member's independent auditor, but which are essential for regulatory purposes and must make up part of the audited Form 1 submission to IIROC. Currently in this Independent Auditor's Report under the heading "Unaudited Information", Schedules 13 and 15 are specified. The proposed changes would: add Schedule 13A (Early Warning Tests -- Level 2), which although it is an unaudited Schedule, is essential for regulatory purposes; and remove Schedule 15 (Supplemental Information), which is not essential for regulatory purposes as it contains supplementary information that is a remnant from the reporting requirements of the old Quarterly Operational Questionnaire (QOQ).

b) Table of Contents

(i) Identifying the differences between the Table of Contents of Form 1 and Table of Contents of an audited Form 1: The purpose of the proposed change is to identify within the Table of Contents of Form 1 which statements, schedules and certificates are not part of the audited Form 1 submission to IIROC and that those identified documents will be suppressed.

The proposed change will add notes within the Table of Contents of Form 1 to identify that the three documents--"Separate Certificate of UDP and CFO on Statement G of Part 1", "Statement G (Opening IFRS statement of financial position and reconciliation of equity)" and "Schedule 15 (Supplementary information)"--will not be part of the electronic and hard copy version of an audited Form 1 and that the names of these suppressed documents will not appear on the accompanying Table of Contents of an audited Form 1.

The "Separate Certificate of UDP and CFO on Statement G of Part 1" and "Statement G (Opening IFRS statement of financial position and reconciliation of equity)" are submitted as part of a Dealer Member's first monthly financial report (MFR) filing under IFRS and are not audited by the Dealer Member's independent auditor. They do not form part of the audited Form 1 submission. In addition, Schedule 15 is not audited by the Dealer Member's independent auditor and not essential for regulatory purposes as it contains supplementary information that is a remnant from the reporting requirements of the old Quarterly Operational Questionnaire (QOQ).

c) General Notes and Definitions

(i) Adding one-time transitional relief as a separate prescribed IFRS departure in the General Notes and Definitions to Form 1: The purpose of the proposed change is to provide Dealer Members with greater clarity about the one-time transitional relief from IFRS 1 requirements that IIROC allows. The proposed change to Note 2 would add "One-time transitional relief" as a separate prescribed IFRS departure, remove it from within the current "Presentation" prescribed IFRS departure, and describe in more detail the one-time transitional relief items that are not required by IIROC for a Dealer Member's first IFRS-based Form 1. The added description would specify that IIROC does not require the opening IFRS balance sheet to be part of the first IFRS-based Form 1 and does not require the reconciliation between Canadian GAAP{2} and the opening IFRS balance sheet as part of the notes to the first IFRS-based Form 1.

d) Notes and Instructions to the Certificate of UDP and CFO

Removing the inference regarding a CFO in the Notes and Instructions to the Certificate of UDP and CFO of Form 1: The purpose of the proposed change is to remove the inference in Note 2 of the Notes and Instructions to the Certificate of UDP and CFO of Form 1 that in certain circumstances a chief financial officer (CFO) is not an Executive. A CFO is an Executive of a Dealer Member pursuant to the definition of the term "Executive" set out in Dealer Member Rule 1.1, regardless of whether he or she works full-time or part-time. The proposed change is to remove the words "if the CFO is not an executive or" in Note 2 of the Notes and Instructions to the Certificate of UDP and CFO of Form 1.

e) Statements A (Statement of Financial Position), B (Statement of net allowable assets and risk adjusted capital), C (Statement of early warning excess and early warning reserve) and G (Opening IFRS statement of financial position and reconciliation of equity), and the Notes and Instructions to Statements B and C and the Notes and Instructions to Schedule 14 (Provider of capital concentration charge)

Renaming the line item "Finance leases -- leasehold inducements" to "Non-refundable leasehold inducements" on Statements A, B, C and G, and the Notes and Instructions to Statements B and C and the Notes and Instructions to Schedule 14: The purpose of the proposed changes is to clarify that a non-refundable leasehold inducement under either a finance lease or an operating lease qualifies as regulatory capital for a Dealer Member when the Dealer Member's landlord writes a non-refundable leasehold inducement cheque to the Dealer Member for the leased premises and the Dealer Member has no additional liability related to the inducement received.

f) Schedule 13A (Early warning tests -- Level 2)

(i) Renaming Line item "D. PROFITABILITY TEST #1" as "D. PROFITABILITY TEST #2" on Schedule 13A: The purpose of the proposed change is to correct an unintentional name change of this Line item when the IFRS version of Form 1 was first implemented.

g) Statement E (Statement of income and comprehensive income) and the Notes and Instructions to Statement E

Replacing the word "year" with "period" in Statement E (Statement of income and comprehensive income) and the Notes and Instructions to Statement E: The purpose of the proposed change is to better accommodate monthly financial report (MFR) filings as the word "period" could be used for the month that is being reported on or for the year that is being reported on.

h) Schedule 11A (Details of unhedged foreign currencies calculation for individual currencies with margin required greater than or equal to $5,000)

Removing the sub-headers "C$'000" on Schedule 11A: The purpose of the proposed changes are to correct the unintended addition of the sub-headers "C$'000", when the Schedule was amended to adopt IFRS. The sub-headers "C$'000" would be deleted.

i) Schedule 14 (Provider of Capital Concentration Charge)

Adding the name of the provider of capital to Schedule 14 (Provider of Capital Concentration Charge) of Form 1: The purpose of the proposed change is to more easily identify a Dealer Member's provider of capital on the Schedule, because there could be circumstances where a Dealer Member has more than one provider of capital. The proposed change would add a field on Schedule 14 to disclose the name of the provider of capital.

The following supporting documents for the housekeeping amendments to the IFRS version of Form 1 are attached:

Attachment A -Board resolution approving the implementation of the proposed amendments to IFRS version of Form 1

Management's responsibility for the Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these Statements in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the Notes and Instructions to Form 1 prescribed by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Dealer Member's preparation and fair presentation of the Statements 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 Dealer Member's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statements.

 

FORM 1 -- INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR STATEMENTS A, E AND F

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Going Concern

Basis of Accounting and Restriction on Use

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note _______ (note) to the Statements which describes the basis of accounting. The Statements are prepared to assist _____________________ (Dealer Member) to meet the requirements of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada. As a result, the Statements may not be suitable for another purpose.

[Note: SIRFF to allow for auditor to include other potential Emphasis of Matter and Other Matter paragraphs should one be required under the CASs or determined appropriate by the auditor to be included in the auditor's report. Such wording would be agreed upon with the CorporationInvestment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada prior to the filing of Form 1.]

FORM 1 -- GENERAL NOTES AND DEFINITIONS

GENERAL NOTES:

1. Each Dealer Member must comply with the requirements in Form 1 as approved and amended from time to time by the board of directors of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (the Corporation).

Form 1 is a special purpose report that includes financial statements and schedules, and is to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), except as prescribed by the Corporation.

Each Dealer Member must complete and file all of these statements and schedules.

The pre-IFRS changeover Joint Regulatory Financial Questionnaire and Report must be used by Dealer Members who have elected to defer the adoption of IFRS and have received written approval of the deferral from the Corporation.

2. The following are Form 1 IFRS departures as prescribed by the Corporation:

 Prescribed IFRS departure
 
Client and broker trading balancesFor client and broker trading balances, the Corporation allows the netting of receivables from and payables to the same counterparty. A Dealer Member may choose to report client and broker trading balances in accordance with IFRS.
 
One-time transitional reliefAs a one-time transitional relief for the first Form 1 prepared under the basis of IFRS with prescribed departures and prescribed accounting treatments, the Corporation does not require comparative financial data.
 In addition, the Corporation does not require the opening IFRS balance sheet as part of the first Form 1 prepared under the basis of IFRS with prescribed departures and prescribed accounting treatments.
 And as such, the Dealer Member is not required to provide the reconciliation between previous Canadian GAAP and IFRS.
 The Corporation requires that the preparation of the opening balance sheet is as at the conversion date (the first day of the first fiscal year under IFRS). A Dealer Member will file the opening balance sheet as Statement G and as stipulated by the Corporation, which is prior to the filing of the first monthly financial report (MFR) prepared under IFRS with prescribed departures and prescribed accounting treatments.
 
Preferred sharesPreferred shares issued by the Dealer Member and approved by the Corporation are classified as shareholders' capital.
 
PresentationStatements A and E contain terms and classifications (such as allowable and non-allowable assets) that are not defined under IFRS. For Statement E, the profit (loss) for the year on discontinued operations is presented on a pre-tax basis (as opposed to after-tax).
 In addition, specific balances may be classified or presented on Statements A, E and F in a manner that differs from IFRS requirements. The General Notes and Definitions, and the applicable Notes and Instructions to the Statements of Form 1, should be followed in those instances where departures from IFRS presentation exist.
 Statements B, C, and D are supplementary financial information, which are not statements contemplated under IFRS.
 As a one-time transitional relief for the first Form 1 prepared under the basis of IFRS with prescribed departures and prescribed accounting treatments, the Corporation does not require comparative financial data. As such, the preparation of the opening balance sheet is as at the conversion date (the first day of the first fiscal year under IFRS). A Dealer Member will file the opening balance sheet as Statement G and as stipulated by the Corporation, which is prior to the filing of the first monthly financial report (MFR) prepared under IFRS with prescribed departures and prescribed accounting treatments.
 
Separate financial statements on a non-consolidated basisConsolidation of subsidiaries is not permitted for regulatory reporting purposes, except for related companies that meet the definition of a "related company" in Dealer Member Rule 1 and the Corporation has approved the consolidation.
 
 Because Statement E only reflects the operational results of the Dealer Member, a Dealer Member must not include the income (loss) of an investment accounted for by the equity method.
 
Statement of cash flowA statement of cash flow is not required as part of Form 1.
 
ValuationThe "market value of securities" definition remains unchanged from the pre-IFRS changeover Joint Regulatory Financial Questionnaire and Report.

3. The following are Form 1 prescribed accounting treatments based on available IFRS alternatives:

 Prescribed accounting treatment
Hedge accountingHedge accounting is not permitted for regulatory reporting purposes. All security and derivative positions of a Dealer Member must be marked-to-market at the reporting date. Gains or losses of the hedge positions must not be deferred to a future point in time.
 
Securities owned and sold short as held-for-tradingA Dealer Member must categorize all inventory positions as held-for-trading financial instruments. These security positions must be marked-to-market.
 Because the Corporation does not permit the use of the available for sale and held-to-maturity categories, a Dealer Member must not include other comprehensive income (OCI) and will not have a corresponding reserve account relating to marking-to-market available for sale security positions.
 
Valuation of a subsidiaryA Dealer Member must value subsidiaries at cost.

4. These statements and schedules are prepared in accordance with the Dealer Member rules.

5. For purposes of these statements and schedules, the accounts of related companies that meet the definition of a "related company" in Dealer Member Rule 1 may be consolidated.

6. For the purposes of the statements and schedules, the capital calculations must be on a trade date reporting basis unless specified otherwise in the Notes and Instructions to Form 1.

7. Dealer Members may determine margin deficiencies for clients, brokers and dealers on either a settlement date basis or trade date basis. Dealer Members may also determine margin deficiencies for acceptable institutionsacceptable counterparties, regulated entities and investment counselors' accounts as a block on either a settlement date basis or trade date basis and the remaining clients, brokers and dealer accounts on the other basis. In each case, Dealer Members must do so for all such accounts and consistently from period to period.

8. Comparative figures on all statements are only required at the audit date. As a transition exemption for the changeover to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) from Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (CGAAP), Dealer Members are not required to file comparative information for the preceding financial year as part of the first audited Form 1, which is based on IFRS except for prescribed departures and prescribed accounting treatments stipulated in the general notes and definitions of Form 1.

9. All statements and schedules must be expressed in Canadian dollars and must be rounded to the nearest thousand.

10. Supporting details should be provided -- as required -- showing breakdown of any significant amounts that have not been clearly described on the statements and schedules.

11. Mandatory security counts. All securities except those held in segregation or safekeeping shall be counted once a month, or monthly on a cyclical basis. Those held in segregation and safekeeping must be counted once in the year in addition to the count as at the year-end audit date.

If not available, the last sale price of a board lot may be used. Where not readily marketable, no market value shall be assigned.

2. for unlisted and debt securities, and precious metals bullion, a value determined as reasonable from published market reports or inter-dealer quotation sheets on the relevant date or last trading day prior to the relevant date, or based on a reasonable yield rate.

4. for money market fixed date repurchases (no borrower call feature), the market price is the price determined by applying the current yield for the security to the term of maturity from the repurchase date. This will permit calculation of any profit or loss based on the market conditions at the reporting date. Exposure due to future changes in market conditions is covered by the margin rate.

5. for money market open repurchases (no borrower call feature), prices are to be determined as of the reporting date or the date the commitment first becomes open, whichever is the later. Market price is to be determined as in 4. and commitment price is to be determined in the same manner using the yield stated in the repurchase commitment.

6. the exchange or association requires regular regulatory financial reporting by its members.

A list of current recognized exchanges and associations is included in the most recent list of foreign acceptable institutions and foreign acceptable counterparties.

(i) "settlement date -- extended" means a transaction (other than a mutual fund security redemption) in respect of which the arranged settlement date is a date after regular settlement date.

(j) "settlement date -- regular" means the settlement date generally accepted according to industry practice for the relevant security in the market in which the transaction occurs, including foreign jurisdictions. For margin purposes, if such settlement date exceeds 15 business days past trade date, settlement date will be deemed to be 15 business days past trade date. In the case of new issue trades, regular settlement date means the contracted settlement date as specified for that issue.

FORM 1, PART I -- STATEMENT B

NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS

Capital adequacy

A DEALER MEMBER MUST HAVE AND MAINTAIN AT ALL TIMES RISK ADJUSTED CAPITAL IN AN AMOUNT NOT LESS THAN ZERO.

Netting for margin calculation

When applying Corporation margin rules, a Dealer Member can net allowable assets and liabilities as well as security positions. Except where there is a prescribed IFRS departure, netting is for regulatory margin purposes only (and not for presentation purposes).

Line 2 -- Non- current liability -- finance leases -non-refundable lease hold inducements

In those cases where it can be demonstrated that the leasehold inducement presents no additional liability to the Dealer Member (i.e. the Dealer Member does not "owe" the unamortized portion of the inducement back to the landlord, thereby qualifying the landlord as a creditor of the Dealer Member), the non-current portion of the finance lease liability for leasehold inducements can be reported as an adjustment to risk adjusted capital.

Line 7 -- Minimum Capital

"Minimum capital" is $250,000 except for a Type 1 introducing broker. For a Type 1 introducing broker, the minimum capital is $75,000.

Line 15 -- Contingent liabilities

No Dealer Member may give, directly or indirectly, by means of a loan, guarantee, the provision of security or of a covenant or otherwise, any financial assistance to an individual and/or corporation unless the amount of the loan, guarantee, provision of security or of the covenant or any other assistance is limited to a fixed or determinable amount and the amount is provided for in computing Risk Adjusted Capital.

The margin required shall be the amount of the loan, guarantee, etc. less the loan value of any accessible collateral, calculated in accordance with Corporation rules.

A guarantee of payment is not acceptable collateral to reduce margin required.

The Dealer Member should maintain and retain the details of the margin calculations for contingencies, such as guarantees or returned cheques, for Corporation review.

Line 20 -- Securities held at non-acceptable securities locations

Capital Requirements

In general, the capital requirements for securities held in custody at another entity are as follows:

(i) Where the entity qualifies as an acceptable securities location, there shall be no capital requirement, provided there are no unresolved differences between the amounts reported on the books of the entity acting as custodian and the amounts reported on the books of the Dealer Member. The capital requirements for unresolved differences are discussed separately in the notes and instructions for the completion of Statement B, Line 22 below.

(ii) Where the entity does not qualify as an acceptable securities location, the entity shall be considered a non-acceptable securities location and the Dealer Member shall be required to deduct 100% of the market value of the securities held in custody with the entity in the calculation of its Risk Adjusted Capital.

However, there is one exception to the above general requirements. Where the entity would otherwise qualify as an acceptable securities location except for the fact that the Dealer Member has not entered into a written custodial agreement with the entity, as required by Corporation rules, the capital requirement shall be determined as follows:

(a) Where setoff risk with the entity is present, the Dealer Member shall be required to deduct the lesser of:

(I) 100% of the setoff risk exposure to the entity; and

(II) 100% of the market value of the securities held in custody with the entity;

in the calculation of its Risk Adjusted Capital;

and;

(b) The Dealer Member shall be required to deduct 10% of the market value of the securities held in custody with the entity in the calculation of its Early Warning Reserve.

The sum of the requirements calculated in paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be no greater than 100% of the market value of the securities held in custody with the entity. Where the sum amounts initially calculated in paragraphs (a) and (b) above are greater than 100%, the capital required under paragraph (b) and the amount reported as a deduction in the calculation of the Early Warning Reserve shall be reduced accordingly.

For the purposes of determining the capital requirement detailed in paragraph (a) above, the term "setoff risk" shall mean the risk exposure that results from the situation where the Dealer Member has other transactions, balances or positions with the entity, where the resultant obligations of the Dealer Member might be setoff against the value of the securities held in custody with the entity.

Client Waiver

Where the laws and circumstances prevailing in a foreign jurisdiction may restrict the transfer of securities from the jurisdiction and the Dealer Member is unable to arrange for the holding of client securities in the jurisdiction at an acceptable securities location, the Dealer Member may hold such securities at a location in that jurisdiction if (a) the Dealer Member has entered into a written custodial agreement with the location as required hereunder and (b) the client has consented to the arrangement, acknowledged the risks and waived any claims it may have against the Dealer Member, in a form approved by the Corporation. Such a consent and waiver must be obtained on a transaction by transaction basis.

Line 22 -- Unresolved Differences

Items are considered unresolved unless:

(i) a written acknowledgement from the counterparty of a valid claim has been received

(ii) a journal entry to resolve the difference has been processed as of the Due Date of Form 1.

This does not include journal entries writing off the difference to profit or loss in the period subsequent to the date of Form 1. Provision should be made for the market value and margin requirements at the Form 1 date on out-of-balance short securities and other adverse unresolved differences (such as, with banks, trust companies, brokers, clearing corporations) still unresolved as at a date one month subsequent to the Form 1 date or other applicable Due Date of Form 1.

The margin rate to be used is the one that is appropriate for inventory positions. For instance, if the calculation is for securities eligible for reduced margin, the margin rate is 25%, rather than 30%.

A separate schedule, in a form approved by the Corporation, must be prepared detailing all unresolved differences as at the report date.

The following guidelines should be followed when calculating the required to margin amount on unresolved items:

Type of Unresolved DifferenceAmount Required to Margin
 
Money balance -- credit (potential gains)None
Money balance -- debit (potential losses)Money balance
 
Unresolved Long with Money on the Dealer Member's Book[(Money Balance on the trade minus market value of the security){*} plus the applicable inventory margin]
 
Unresolved Long without Money on the Dealer Member's BooksNone
 
Unresolved Short with Money on the Dealer Member's Books[(Market value of the security minus money balance on the trade){*} plus the applicable inventory margin]
 
Unresolved Long/Short on the Other Broker's BooksNone
 
Short Security Break (e.g. Mutual Funds, Stock Dividends) or Unresolved Short without Money on the Dealer Member's Books[Market value of the security plus the applicable inventory margin]

{*} also referred to as the Mark-to-Market Adjustment.

Where mutual fund positions are not reconciled on a monthly basis, margin shall be provided equal to a percentage of the market value of such mutual funds held on behalf of clients. Where no transactions in the mutual fund, other than redemptions and transfers, have occurred for at least six months and no loan value has been associated with the mutual fund, the percentage shall be 10%. In all other cases, the percentage shall be 100%.

Unresolved Differences in Accounts:

Report all differences determined on or before the report date that have not been resolved as of the due date.

Unresolved Differences in Accounts:

For each account listed, set out the number of unresolved differences and the money value of both the debit and credit differences. The Debit/Short value column includes money differences and market value of security differences, which represent a potential loss. The Credit/Long value column includes money differences and market value of security differences, which represent a potential gain. In determining the potential gain or loss, the money balance and the security position market value of the same transaction should be netted. Debit/short and credit/long balances of different transactions cannot be netted.

All reconciliation must be properly documented and made available for review by Corporation examination staff and Dealer Member's Auditor.

Unresolved differences in Security Counts:

Report all security count differences determined on or before the report date that have not been resolved as of due date. The amount required to margin is the market value of short security differences plus the applicable inventory margin.

Line 23 -- Other

This item should include all margin requirements not mentioned above as outlined in Corporation rules.

FORM 1, PART I -- STATEMENT C

NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS

The Early Warning system is designed to provide advance warning of a Dealer Member encountering financial difficulties. It will anticipate capital shortages and/or liquidity problems and encourage Dealer Members to build a capital cushion.

Line 1 - If Risk Adjusted Capital of the Dealer Member is less than:

(a) 5% of total margin required (Line 11 above), then the Dealer Member is designated as being in Early Warning category Level 1, or

(b) 2% of total margin required (Line 11 above), then the Dealer Member is designated as being in Early Warning category Level 2,

and the applicable sanctions outlined in the Corporation rules will apply.

Lines 2 and 3 - These items are deducted from RAC because they are illiquid or the receipt is either out of the Dealer Member's control or contingent.

Line 4 -- Pursuant to the Notes and Instructions for the completion of Statement B, Line 20, where the entity would otherwise qualify as an acceptable securities location except for the fact that the Dealer Member has not entered into a written custodial agreement with the entity, as required by Corporation rules, the Dealer Member will be required to deduct an amount up to 10% of the market value of the securities held in custody with the entity, in the calculation of its Early Warning Reserve. Please refer to the detailed calculation formula set out to the Notes and Instructions for the completion of Statement B, Line 20 to determine the capital requirement to be reported on Statement C, Line 4.

Line 5 -- Non-current liabilities (other than subordinated loans and non-current portion of finance lease liabilities -- leasehold inducements) are added back to RAC as they are not current obligations of the Dealer Member and can be used as financing.

Line 9- This add-back ensures that the Dealer Member is not penalized at the Early Warning level for accruing income.

Line 10- If Early Warning Excess is negative, the Dealer Member is designated as being in Early Warning category Level 2 and the sanctions outlined in the Corporation rules will apply.

Line 12- If the Early Warning Reserve is negative, the Dealer Member is designated as being in Early Warning category Level 1 and the sanctions outlined in the Corporation rules will apply.
