1. The above statement of operations provides a summary of the AGO’s financial activity for 2012–2013. Financial statements for the 2012 – 2013 fiscal year (April 1, 2012 to
March 31, 2013), audited by Ernst & Young, are available upon request from the Art Gallery of Ontario. (Director’s Office: 416-979-6613)
2. Pension adjustment reflects the excess of cash contributions over pension expense for each year.
3. In the 2012 – 2013 fiscal year, the AGO received gifts of works of art with an approximate value of $8,839,000. This is not reflected in the financial data above, but is

4. The AGO records capital asset purchases at cost and then amortizes its capital assets over the useful life of the asset. Donations and grants received for the purchase of
capital assets are deferred and then amortized based on the useful life of the asset.
