Executive Summary

Overall risk: Elevated. The corporation shows active capital planning (professional reserve fund study and major 2025 roof work completed) but has several material governance and financial inconsistencies that increase buyer risk. Key strengths are a current engineering Reserve Fund Study and recent capital work (notably a major roof replacement). Key concerns are an unexplained reserve fund reconciliation gap of about $193,781 between the RFS update and audited financials, and an unclear special-resolution/bylaw status that would shift exterior windows and doors (and their future costs) onto the corporation — the vote/registration is not confirmed. Recommendation: do not rely on current budgets or bylaw responsibilities until you obtain the audited reserve fund balance, proof of Land Titles registration for the bylaw change, the signed vote tally (unit-factor evidence), and the current insurance certificate/SIUD showing the actual deductibles (these items will materially change your exposure).

Key Strengths

  • Professional Reserve Fund Study prepared/updated by an engineer and an active multi-year funding plan in place (shows deliberate planning).
  • Recent executed capital work (major roof replacement recorded in 2025) demonstrates the board is spending on prioritized repairs rather than deferring all work.

Key Concerns

  • Material reserve fund reconciliation gap (~$193,781): the RFS update reports ~$1,018,986 for 2023/24 while audited statements show capital reserve net assets $825,205 as at Jan 31, 2025 — requires immediate accounting reconciliation (this affects how well the condo is funded for upcoming repairs).
  • Major governance/funding uncertainty from a proposed bylaw change that would make the corporation responsible for exterior windows and doors: the special resolution text exists but registration/vote evidence is unclear, so responsibility — and large future costs — may shift to the corporation only if the change is properly filed and validated (special resolutions require 75% threshold by unit factor).
  • Reserve Fund Study update shows $2.2M (and $160k) were "removed in accordance with the bylaw" from long-term funding lines, but there is no supporting registered bylaw or minutes provided to explain who will pay for those items — this could mask a future special assessment or unfunded owner liability.

Buyer Recommendation

Before making an offer, obtain and verify these documents: (1) the audited financial statements and bank statements showing the current reserve fund (savings for major repairs) and an itemized reserve fund general ledger so the ~$193k variance can be explained; (2) the full Reserve Fund Study and the RFS update with any board resolutions that changed the funding plan; (3) the Special Resolution package, Land Titles registration evidence, and the certified vote tally/unit-factor confirmation for the windows/doors bylaw change (special resolutions require 75% threshold); (4) the current Certificate of Insurance and the Schedule of Insured Unit Description (SIUD) from the insurer or broker that prove the policy in force and map each deductible (e.g., hail, water) to coverage; (5) copies of recent contractor invoices for large reserve draws (roof, concrete, garage doors) and the management contract (including fidelity bond proof). If those documents are not available and reconciled, get a lawyer and an accountant to review the items above and budget a contingency for possible special assessments and the high insurance deductibles (e.g., hail $75k; water $25k) before completing any purchase.

RFS Recommended

Reserve Fund Variance-$232,451 (underfunded)

Actual balance $825,205 vs RFS target $1,057,656

The reserve fund appears underfunded by $232,451, but this is largely explained by early completion of major projects (Roof Replacement) totaling ~$300,000. These projects were completed ahead of the RFS schedule, which reduces future capital obligations. This is a positive indicator for the corporation.

Adjusted Funded108.9%

After accounting for early completion of Roof Replacement (~$300,000 in future obligations removed), the adjusted funded ratio is 108.9%.

The reserve fund is close to its target — a healthy position.

“% funded” compares today’s balance to the amount the Reserve Fund Study says should be on hand. It does not mean the fund covers all future expenses.

Category D·Financial Health·Impact: Significant

Material reconciliation gap of ~$193,781 between the Reserve Fund Study update and audited financial statements. This variance is unexplained in the documents provided and affects the reliability of reserve fund adequacy assessments.

Reserve Fund Study (p.4)

Reserve fund balance projected at ~$1,018,986 as of fiscal year end 2023/24.

The current fund balance ... $1,018,986 as reported by the management company.

Annual Financials (p.2)

Capital reserve net assets reported as $825,205 as at January 31, 2025.

Capital fund — net assets: $825,205.

Category G·Board & Governance Signals·Impact: Significant

The RFS has already removed these cost lines assuming the bylaw change is effective, but the special resolution registration is unconfirmed. If the bylaw is not registered, these costs revert to the corporation with no funding allocated — a potential special assessment risk.

Reserve Fund Study (p.6)

Exterior windows and doors funding lines ($2.2M+) "removed in accordance with the bylaw" from reserve projections.

Items removed in accordance with the bylaw change ... exterior windows, exterior doors.

Special Resolutions (p.1)

Proposed special resolution to transfer exterior window/door maintenance to corporation — registration and vote evidence unclear.

Proposed amendment to transfer maintenance and repair responsibility for exterior/outside surfaces including exterior windows and exterior doors to the Condominium Corporation.

Category F·Litigation, Insurance & Compliance·Impact: Moderate

The SIUD is over 4 years old and may not match the current insurance policy terms. The 2025-26 renewal proposal suggests different deductible amounts. Buyers should request the current SIUD from the insurer.

Insurance Certificate (p.1)

SIUD document dated December 2020 — may not reflect current insurance terms.

HUB RNWL PROPOSAL 2025-26 ($93,601) — CCN 0912345 Riverside Terrace.

Category G·Board & Governance Signals·Impact: Moderate

Direct conflict between the registered bylaws (owners responsible) and the proposed special resolution (corporation responsible). Until registration is confirmed, the original bylaw governs — creating uncertainty about who bears these costs.

Bylaws & Rules (p.5)

Original bylaws (2008) assign exterior window and door maintenance to unit owners.

By-law 3(b): The owner shall maintain and repair ... exterior windows and doors.

Special Resolutions (p.1)

Proposed amendment to shift exterior window/door responsibility to the corporation.

Proposed amendment to transfer maintenance and repair responsibility for exterior/outside surfaces.

Category D·Financial Health·Impact: Moderate

Budget appears consistent with the reduced-scope RFS, but if the window/door bylaw change is not registered, the contribution requirement would increase significantly. Budget reliability depends on the bylaw question being resolved.

Annual Financials (p.1)

Budget draft shows total operating expenses of ~$604,355 for 2026-2027.

Total operating expenses: $604,355.

Reserve Fund Study (p.8)

RFS funding plan assumes annual contribution of $187,177 — but reduced scope after removing window/door items.

Recommended annual contribution: $187,177.

Special Resolutions

By-laws applicable to Condominium Plan No. 0912345 repealed and replaced (registered substitution/replacement of by-laws).

Status: passed

Proposed amendment to transfer maintenance and repair responsibility for exterior/outside surfaces including exterior windows and exterior doors to the Condominium Corporation (substitution of By-laws 3(b),(c); 4(e); and 47(a)(xiii)).
