Asset Retirement Obligations. The Trust accounts for its asset retirement obligations under the new CICA Handbook, section 3110, "Asset Retirement Obligations". This standard focuses on the recognition and measurement of liabilities related to legal obligations associated with the future retirement of property, plant and equipment. Under this standard, these obligations are initially measured at fair value determined as the estimated future costs discounted to the present value and subsequently adjusted for the accretion of the discount factor and any changes in the underlying cash flows. The asset retirement cost is capitalized to the related asset and amortized into earnings over time. Previously, the Trust recognized a provision for future site restoration based on the unit-of-production method applied to the estimated future liability. This change in accounting policy has been applied retroactively with restatement of prior periods presented for comparative purposes as follows:
