3 Independent auditor s report Grant Thornton LLP 19th Floor, Royal Bank Plaza South Tower 200 Bay Street, Box 55 Toronto, ON M5J 2P9 T F To the Directors of The National Ballet of Canada, Endowment Foundation We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The National Ballet of Canada, Endowment Foundation (the Foundation ), which comprise the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2014 and the statements of operations and changes in fund balances and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. 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 auditor considers internal control relevant to the Foundation 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 Foundation s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

8 Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, Purpose of the Foundation The National Ballet of Canada, Endowment Foundation (the "Foundation") was incorporated, without share capital, on September 28, 1999 under the Canada Corporations Act and is a registered charity designated as a Public Foundation under the Income Tax Act (Canada). The purpose of the Foundation is to acquire, hold in trust and donate funds to The National Ballet of Canada. The Foundation is exempt from income taxes under Section 149(1) (l) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). 2. Significant accounting policies Basis of presentation The Foundation has prepared these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations (ASNPO). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the Foundation in the preparation of the financial statements. Fund accounting The Foundation follows the restricted fund method of accounting for contributions. The General Fund reports unrestricted resources. The Endowment Fund reports donor and internally restricted resources where external restrictions require that the principal must be maintained permanently. Revenue recognition Contributions for endowment are recognized as revenue in the Endowment Fund. Changes in the carrying value of the investments, both realized and unrealized, are reported in the Endowment Fund. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue of the General Fund in the year received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Investment income earned on restricted resources is recognized as revenue of the Endowment Fund. Unrestricted investment income is recognized as revenue of the General Fund when earned. Investment income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes realized capital gains, interest income and dividends. 6

9 Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, Significant accounting policies (continued) Contributed services Volunteers contribute many hours per year to assist the Foundation in achieving its mandate. Because of the difficulty of determining fair value, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements. Financial instruments The Foundation s financial instruments are measured at fair value when issued or acquired. For financial instruments subsequently measured at cost or amortized cost, fair value is adjusted by the amount of the related financing fees and transaction costs. Transaction costs and financing fees relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. At each reporting date, the Foundation measures its financial assets and liabilities at cost or amortized cost (less impairment in the case of financial assets). The Foundation has irrevocably elected to measure its investments in pooled funds at fair value. All changes in fair value of the Foundation s investments in pooled funds are recorded in the statement of operations. The financial instruments measured at amortized cost are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and payables and accruals. For financial assets measured at cost or amortized cost, the Foundation regularly assesses whether there are any indications of impairment. If there is an indication of impairment, and the Foundation determines that there is a significant adverse change in the expected timing or amount of future cash flows from the financial asset, it recognizes an impairment loss in the statement of operations. Any reversals of previously recognized impairment losses are recognized in operations in the year the reversal occurs. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and redeemable term deposits. Use of estimates In preparing the Foundation s financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenditures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 7

11 Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, Financial instruments risk Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and credit exposures on outstanding accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions, minimizing any potential exposure to credit risk. It is management s opinion that the risk related to accounts receivable is minimal since the Foundation only deals with what management believes to be financially sound counterparties, and accordingly does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance. Market risk The Foundation is subject to market risk on the investments carried at fair value. These investments are subject to market risk such that the fair value of these investments may change as a result of factors specific to a particular investment or as a result of factors affecting all instruments trading in the market. The Foundation manages this risk by using a professional portfolio manager and maintaining a diversified portfolio with a mix of bonds and equity funds. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency exposure arises from the Foundation s holdings of foreign currency denominated investments. Fluctuations in the relative value of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar can result in a positive or negative effect on the fair value of investments. The Foundation manages this risk by using a professional portfolio manager and maintaining a diversified portfolio. Interest rate risk The Foundation s earnings are exposed to the interest rate risk that arises from fluctuations in interest rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Foundation does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk. 6. Comparative figures Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in the current year presentation. 9
