General Instructions

The form of the consolidated balance sheet is identical for all institutions regardless of size and type. Consequently, certain balance sheet categories may not be applicable to some institutions because of the nature of their operations.

Where these instructions indicate that a certain category includes particular items, the particular items listed do not limit the generality of the heading but indicate the kind of items that are to be reported there.

Assets under administration are not to be included in the balances reported on the balance sheet.

Assets are to be reported net of the allowance for expected credit losses (ECL), if any.

All allowances are to be netted from the appropriate assets in the same currency in which the relevant assets are denominated, regardless of whether the allowances are booked in Canadian or foreign currency. Where allowances for expected credit losses against groups of loans have been established against assets denominated in both Canadian dollars and foreign currency, the allowances should be allocated proportionately according to the gross amounts of the assets outstanding in the various currencies.

Interest should be accrued on loans; the accrual is to be included in Asset 6. Debts purchased at a premium or discount are to be reported net of the premium or discount. The net reported amount of such loans will be increased or decreased as the discounts or premiums are taken into income over the term of the loan. Fixed-term loans on which the interest for the term is pre-computed and added to the principal are to be reported net of the pre-computed interest.

Deposits with regulated financial institutions include all non-interest-bearing balances and interest-bearing balances, including correspondent relationships in Canada and elsewhere placed in the normal course of market trading where the only documentation exchanged is a confirmation of contract and the rates applied are the bid and offer of the market.

Insurance-related Assets comprise of asset categories from Insurance Subsidiaries that do not readily fall into the asset categories used in a deposit-taking institution’s financial statements. 

Assets of Insurance Subsidiaries such as securities and mortgages that readily fall into the asset categories used by deposit-taking institutions should be reported in their respective categories.

All amounts are to be expressed in thousands of Canadian dollar equivalents.

Section III – Financial Instruments

Purpose

The purpose of this return is to provide supplementary information on the impacts of IFRS. It requires certain assets and liabilities, as reported in Section I and Section II of the M4, to be presented in accordance with classifications.

General Instructions

(Report quarterly fiscal only. Monthly reporting between fiscal quarter-ends, is not required. Deposit taking institutions that are subsidiaries of federally regulated Banks, Trust or Loan companies, are not required to complete Section III.)

Within each asset and liability category listed in Section III, institutions are required to separate out those items held at amortized cost from those items measured at fair value. The total Balance Sheet amount of assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost are to be reported in the corresponding cell located the column 'Held at Amortized Cost'. Similarly, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, filers are to report the total Balance Sheet amount within the appropriate fair value classification columns of 'Fair Value Through Profit or Loss', 'Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income', 'Fair Value Hedges', 'Cash Flow Hedges', and/or 'Fair Value Option'. The line totals appearing in the column 'Total' for each category of asset and liability listed in Section III, except for 'Other Assets' and 'Other Liabilities', must equal the totals for these same asset and liability categories reported in Section I and Section II of the M4.

The "Total" for each category of assets and liabilities should be reported by valuation methodology of quoted price, pricing models with observable parameters, pricing models with significant unobservable parameters, other method and in the appropriate fair value classification columns.

Appendix 1- Definition Of Readvanceable

The re-advanceable amount of a loan is a portion of the drawn amount (not an authorized undrawn amount) and defined below:

Principal that when repaid does not permanently reduce the authorized limit (applicable to Combined Loan Plan or standalone products) and can be re-drawn by the client without further adjudication.

For reporting purposes re-advanceable is to be calculated using bullets 1- 4, examples are provided below. It is accepted that in some situations the calculations can deviate from the spirit of the definition articulated above.

1. A simple LOC or HELOC is 100% re-advanceable (see example 1).

2. A simple mortgage is 100% non re-advanceable (see example 2).

3. The re-advanceable / non re-advanceable portion of a combined mortgage-HELOC loan plan is determined in two steps (see examples 3-9).

   • Step 1. If the original CLP limit is equal to the current CLP limit, the entire amount is considered "re-advanceable"; however,
   • Step 2. If the current CLP limit is less than the original CLP limit, then the "non re-advanceable" amount is the integrated MTG O/S up to the "current CLP limit less the maximum policy allowable^{Footnote *} HELOC limit"^{Footnote **}.

   Footnote *

   HELOC allowable limit would normally be 65% LTV or a lower limit set by the FI's policy.

   Return to footnote *

   Footnote **

   The remaining O/S balance will be re-advanceable regardless of P+I or I-only structure.

   Return to footnote **

4. A mortgage with the option to increase the outstanding balance to the beginning of term amount at the customer's discretion without an approval or appraisal is 100% re-advanceable (see example 12).

Example 1 – Simple Line of Credit

• Product: Line of Credit
• Re-advanceable portion of the outstanding balance: 100%

Example 2 – Simple mortgage

  • Current balance of mortgage segment ($80k Limit) in the CLP structure is $80k
  • Current balance of HELOC segment ($0k Limit) in the CLP structure is $0k
• Since the original CLP Limit ($80k) is equal to the current CLP limit ($80k Mortgage Limit)
  • For the current report, $80k O/S is re-advanceable as CLP Limit minus HELOC Limit = $80k

Appendix 2 – Classification Of Properties As Residential And Non-residential

The reference table below classifies common property types residential or non-residential. The general principle is that residential properties are non-institutional facilities for the long term lodging of individuals.

Non-Residential Properties

• Office Buildings
  • Office
  • Office/Residential Condo (4)
  • Office Building/Hotel
  • Office/Shopping
• Shopping Centres
  • Strip Retail
  • Single Retail
  • Shopping Centre
• Land Banking and Development
  • Land
• Industrial Buildings
  • Commercial Condos
  • Commercial/Industrial/Retail
  • Industrial Condo
  • Warehouse
  • Industrial
  • Medical Buildings
• Hotels/Motels
  • Hotel/Motel
  • Apartment Hotel
• Other
  • Automobile
  • Franchise
  • Resort/Recreational (commercial resorts)
  • Time Share Units
  • Mixed Assets
  • Hospitals
  • Nursing Homes
  • Retirement Homes (1)
  • Day Care Centres
  • Churches
  • Farms
  • Other

Residential Properties

• 1-4 unit residential properties
  • Detached homes
  • Semi-detached homes
  • Town house units
  • Condominium units
  • Other small residential structures with 1-4 units
  • Cottages and similar recreational property
  • 1-4 unit residential properties with commercial components
  • Construction sites for 1-4 unit residential properties (2)
• More than 4 unit residential properties (multi-unit residential) (3)
  • Small or large apartment buildings with more than 4 units
  • Apartment building complexes with commercial components
  • All other residential properties with more than 4 units
  • Construction sites for residential properties with more than 4 units (2)

Notes

(1) The intention with the term 'retirement home' is to refer to institutional establishments.  Mortgages on institutional retirement homes are to be classified as non-residential, whereas mortgages on individual condo units within buildings marketed to the elderly are to be classified as residential.  The agencies acknowledge that this distinction may not always be simple to identify.  As a result the agencies will accept retirement home being classified as either residential or non-residential for the time being; however, filing institutions are encouraged to move towards the intended classification.

(2) Construction financing can include a wide range of products that have historically been classified inconsistently and recorded under three categories (business loans, residential mortgages, and non-residential mortgages).  The agencies do not require this reporting practice to be changed.  As a result it will be considered acceptable to record construction financing under any of the three categories; provided that the categorization is re-examined once the construction activity is complete.

(3) The preferred reporting practice for mortgages on multi-unit residential properties is to include them under residential.  However, it is acknowledged that some institution's legacy systems have included these mortgages under the non-residential category.  Both approaches will be accepted for the time being; however, filing institutions are encouraged to move towards the intended classification.

(4) Mortgages on mixed office residential condo buildings are to be classified as non-residential.  This is because individual condo units have separate ownership from the office portion of the building and therefore a mortgage on the office portion of the building should be classifies as non-residential.

Appendix 3 – Classification Of Counterparties (Individuals and Corporations)

The reference table below classifies various counterparty entities as individuals or corporations, where corporate is defined to include 'not for profit' organizations and quasi-corporations. The general principle is that counterparties are classified using a credit counterparty perspective. In the case of a default of the ultimate guarantor is an individual the loan should be classified as have an individual as the counterparty; however; if the ultimate guarantor is a non-individual (e.g. corporation, trust, co-operative) the loan should be classified as having a "corporation as the counterparty.
