14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT<br />
The government funding provided to the Authority must<br />
be used to deliver the Authority’s business plan. At<br />
each fiscal year end, the maximum amount of restricted<br />
net assets as per the audited financial statements<br />
cannot exceed $900,000. Any amount in excess of this<br />
shall be paid to the Minister of Finance within 90 days.<br />
The Authority is also allowed to accumulate up to<br />
$250,000 in unrestricted net assets. Again, any amount<br />
in excess of this amount shall be paid to the Minister of<br />
Finance within 90 days. To stay within these<br />
restrictions, managers receive monthly spending<br />
reports <strong>com</strong>pared to budget. Revised budgets are done<br />
twice a year to ensure responsible and accurate<br />
program spending with excess funds reallocated<br />
as required.<br />
15. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN<br />
The Authority has a defined contribution plan for<br />
employees. The Authority’s obligations are limited to<br />
matching contributions made by the employees for<br />
current services. During the year, the Authority<br />
contributed $304,584 (2010 - $311,532).<br />
