Note 1: Increase in liability of $4.26 billion from an auction for Advanced Wireless Services and Other Spectrum in the 2 GHz Range. This revenue is recognized over a 10-year period.
DTotal assets were $1.93 billion at the end of 2008–09, an increase of $187 million (11%) versus last year’s total assets. This increase is mainly due to the change of total financial assets, which is composed of accounts receivable and advances of $102 million, loans of $405 million, and investments of $1.32 billion. During FY 2009, an additional $250 million investment in the Business Development Bank of Canada caused a significant increase in financial assets. The rest of the variation was the combined result of loans and accounts receivable.
DTotal liabilities were $6.10 billion at the end of 2008–09, an increase of $3.86 billion (171%) versus last year’s total liabilities. The deferred revenue is the largest liability on the statement of financial position, representing 81% of total liability. At the end of FY 2009, deferred revenue was $4.96 billion, with a significant increase of $4.26 billion in comparison to last year, and this increase is attributed to an auction for Advanced Wireless Services and Other Spectrum in the 2-GHz Range. The deferred revenue is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years.
DTotal expenses were $1.31 billion in 2008–09, a decrease of $63 million (5%) versus last year’s total expenses. The decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease of total transfer payments of $108 million due to a one-time payment of $105 million made in FY 2008, and it is partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits and other minor changes in other operating expenditures.
DTotal revenues were $808 million in 2008–09, an increase of $80 million (11%) versus last year’s total revenues. Sales of services account continued to be the largest revenue component, representing 96% of total revenue. The main revenue streams include license fees, $496 million; trademarks, patents, copyrights, $144 million, and other, $168 million. The variation of $80 million in FY 2009 is attributable largely to the recognition of revenue from the spectrum auction recorded as a liability.
