SOGHU… 10 years already!
Standard Flow cycle
of Funds and Products
Since 2005, SOGHU, a private non-profit corporation, has managed the
recovery and reclamation throughout Québec of the products subject to the
Regulation respecting the recovery and reclamation of products by
enterprises. Its Board of Directors is composed of representatives from
different sectors, such as oil manufacturers, filter manufacturers, the
petroleum industry, the automobile manufacturing industry, the antifreeze
manufacturing industry, cooperatives, major retailers, a representative of
RECYC-QUÉBEC and the president of a vigilance committee. Today, SOGHU
is easily recognized by its logo, which includes the six icons representing the
products for which it is responsible.
The Collectors registered with SOGHU collect the
designated products from the Generators and deliver them
to Processors, also registered with SOGHU, to give them
a second life. The Collectors and the Processors registered
with SOGHU must prove their activities are in compliance
with the existing regulations. They are also audited at least
once every four years.
More than 12,000 Generators, mechanical repair shops
or industries, are served by a collection service throughout
the province. Over 1,000 of them are registered as
Collection Facilities to allow individuals or low-volume
businesses to return the designated products free of
charge. We thank them for this service. We ask those who
use this service to respect the schedule and not leave
products unsupervised. All GM and Toyota dealers,
Monsieur Muffler and Octo mechanical repair shops,
several private mechanical repair shops and several
municipalities are voluntarily directly involved in improving
the environment and better serving their respective
clienteles.
MEMBERS
Brand Owners who fund the system at $0.04 per
litre for applicable lubricating oils; $0.10 per litre
for oil and antifreeze containers of 50 litres or
less; $0.17 per litre for non-metal or non-HDPE
oil and antifreeze containers of 50 litres or less;
$0.10 per litre of antifreeze mix; $0.16 per litre
of antifreeze concentrate; $0.35 per filter of
8 inches or less or 203 mm in height; $0.85 per
filter of more than 8 inches or 203 mm or more;
$0.35 per sump type filters for automatic
transmissions and $0.25 per aerosol container.
Thanks to rigorous management and an exceptional
partnership with the Collectors and Processors, SOGHU
ranks with one of the best recovery rates and the lowest
system costs in Canada.
Out of concern for harmonization and administrative
efficiency, SOGHU has made a management agreement
with its Atlantic sister association, SOGHU OMA, at no
charge. The agreement represents a substantial saving
for both associations.
SOGHU is recognized by Québec, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island to manage the programs in those
provinces and is working closely with Newfoundland,
Labrador and Nova Scotia for the introduction of their
respective regulations in the near future.

SOGHU:
A Win-Win Approach
Efficiency, partnerships, performance
In the development and implementation of its program, SOGHU has always
favoured win-win partnerships, whether with the Members who finance the
system, the Collectors who are the key players in the field, the Processors who
ensure the products have a second life, or the Generators, more than a thousand
of which are registered as Collection Points to offer individuals and small
businesses who do their own oil changes the possibility of returning regulated
used products free of charge.
SOGHU, over its first ten years, has been able to establish noteworthy
performance standards. Tight management has allowed it to reduce its Members’
Environmental Handling Charges and simplify the system’s administration and
management by integrating electronic payments, while maintaining recovery
rates that exceed regulatory expectations.
The Atlantic provinces form a Board of Directors: SOGHU OMA
Even though SOGHUOMA has its own independent Board of Directors that includes the four Atlantic
provinces, SOGHU is mandated, under an agreement, to manage the SOGHUOMA program in order to
optimize management, performance and system costs for each of the Atlantic provinces.
New Brunswick has just completed its first year of operation, while Prince Edward Island finalized and
adopted its Regulations and recognized SOGHUOMA as managing agent of its program. Over the past
year, SOGHU has also collaborated with the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment
and Nova Scotia Environment on the development of their respective future regulations.
The Members of the Board of Directors and the staff of SOGHU are very proud of all the projects and
results of this 10th year of activities. The approach based on outstanding “win-win” partnerships among
SOGHU, Collectors, Processors, Generators and Municipalities continues to be relevant and, for this tenth
year, highlights the excellent work of all the partners.
We also wish to mention and thank RECYC-QUÉBEC for the excellent cooperation it maintains with SOGHU.
SOGHU continues its sustainable development approach
Due to the development and implementation of an electronic data entry system during pickup of products by Collectors,
SOGHU’s employees will no longer have to verify over 12,000 pages of data per month coming from the Generators.
Thanks to geocoding, the financial incentives granted to products and zones will be calculated automatically, eliminating
numerous errors. In addition, because the Collectors’ internal management systems required several copies, they will
now save three to four times the number of pages saved by SOGHU. In addition, this program allows Collectors to
use the same platform for independent management of the other products they recover. This program will also be
implemented for the Collectors registered with SOGHUOMA once all the Quebec Collectors are integrated.
In short, we believe our program represents a sustainable development model, balancing environmental
benefits, business requirements and the needs of society.

Partnership with the four recognized
management organizations (RMO)
in Québec
With a constant concern for efficiency and harmonization,
SOGHU works with the four other Québec RMOs (paint,
electronics, batteries and fluo-compacts) to improve
coherence in the application of the Regulation respecting
the recovery and reclamation of products by enterprises
and the resulting agreements with RECYC-QUÉBEC. For
example, the five RMOs work in collaboration for the
implementation of recovery of products in NUNAVIK.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT
8
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditors considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accouting estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
SOCIÉTÉ DE GESTION DES HUILES USAGÉES (SOGHU) as at December 31, 2014, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for
not-for-profit organizations.

Notes to Financial Statements
for the Year Ended December 31, 2014
Governing Statutes and Nature of Business
The organization is incorporated under Part III of Quebec Companies Act. According to the Federal and Provincial
Income Tax Acts, it is a non-profit organization and is therefore exempt from income taxes.
According to the terms of a consent agreement with RECYC-QUÉBEC, the organization has the mandate to establish
and manage a program for recovery and reclamation of used oils and antifreeze, oil or fluid containers and used filters.
2
Use of estimates
Financial instruments
The preparation of these financial statements, in
accordance with Canadian accounting standards for notfor-profit organizations, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount
of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
current period. Actual information could differ from that
determined based on these estimates and assumptions.
These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments
are made to income in the year they become known.
Measurement of financial instruments
Processing incentives
Processing incentives expenses are recognized when the
lubricating oil containers are processed by a SOGHU
registered Processor.
20
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and other highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or
less from date of purchase. Term deposits with maturities exceeding three months from date of purchase are not included
in cash and cash equivalents. They are considered as an investing activity.
Investments are accounted for at market value.
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations
(ASNFPO) and include the following significant accouting policies:
Return incentives expenses are recognized when the
lubricating oil and antifreeze and/or containers and filters
are collected by a SOGHU registered Collector.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued))
Investments

The organization initially measures its financial assets and
liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length
transactions. They are subsequently measured at
amortized cost, except for other investments and advances
from shareholders which are measured at cost and
investments in quoted shares which are measured at fair
value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.
Impairment
Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment
when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of
the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously
recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent
of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance
account, provided it is no greater than the amount that
would have been reported at the date of the reversal had
the impairment not been recognized previously. The
amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from environmental handling charges are recognized when the lubricating oil and/or oil containers and oil filters
are sold by members, based on their remittance forms, except for revenue from prior years received in the current year
following a new registration, because Environmental Handling Charges must be remitted retroactively from seven years,
and for additional revenue determined following a compliance review. These Environmental Handling Charges are
recognized in the year during which they are determined.
Fixed assets
Fixed assets are accounted for at cost and depreciation
on the basis of their useful life of assets with the diminishing
balance method based on the rates below:
Computer hardware 33%
Computer software 33%
Collection equipment 20%
Furniture and fixtures 20%
Expense allocation
The organization displayed its expenses by functions.
Salaries, fringe benefits and management and
administration contracts shared by program and
administration functions are allocated proportionaly to
hours spent as follow:
