2 Independent Auditor's Report To the members of the Canadian Council for International Co-operation We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Canadian Council for International Co-operation, which comprise the statement of financial position as at and the statements of revenues and expenses, changes in net assets 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 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'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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

3 3 Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Canadian Council for International Co-operation as at March 31, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

8 Notes to Financial Statements GOVERNING STATUTES AND PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION The Canadian Council for International Cooperation (CCIC), is a coalition of Canadian voluntary sector organizations working globally to achieve sustainable human development. CCIC seeks to end global poverty and to promote social justice and human dignity for all. The Council was founded in 1968 and is a registered charitable organization. 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The financial statements are prepared using the historical cost method, except for certain financial instruments that are recognized at fair value. No information on fair value is presented when the carrying amount corresponds to a reasonable approximation of the fair value. Accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recorded in the financial statements and notes to financial statements. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Council may undertake in the future. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Financial assets and liabilities The Council has chosen to apply the recommendations of Section 3861, Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation, of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants' Handbook with respect to the presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Initially, all financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured and recognized as follows: Cash Cash is classified as a held-for-trading financial asset. It is measured at its fair value. Term deposits The term deposits are classified as available-for-sale financial instruments. They are measured at their fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net assets until the investments are disposed or become impaired, in which case the realized gain or loss is recognized in the statement of revenues and expenses. Advances to coalitions, other receivables and projects receivable Advances to coalitions, other receivables and projects receivable are classified as loans and receivables. They are measured at amortized cost which is generally the initially recognized amount, less any allowance for doubtful accounts.

9 Notes to Financial Statements ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt are classified as other financial liabilities. They are measured as amortized cost using the effective interest method. Revenue recognition CCIC follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Restricted contributions, which includes Canadian International Development Agency - Core Program, CCIC projects and administration fees, are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Membership fees are recognized in the period to which they relate. Capital assets Capital assets are recorded at cost. When CCIC receives capital asset contributions, their cost is equal to their fair value at the contribution date or to a nominal value of $1 if the fair value cannot be reasonably determined. Amortization of capital assets is calculated according to the following methods, annual rate and period: Rate and Methods period Furniture Computers and equipment Foreign currency transactions 10 to 20 Straight-line years Diminishing balance 30% Revenue and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the transaction date. Exchange gains or losses are included in the determination of the statement of revenues and expenses. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. 3 - INFORMATION INCLUDED IN EARNINGS Interest on long-term debt 28,584 42,128 Amortization of capital assets 43,028 70, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments comprise a term deposit with a fair value of $216,684 bearing interest at the rates of 0.75% and maturing on September 4, 2011.

CCIC's management manages financial risks. CCIC does not enter into financial instrument agreements including derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Financial risks CCIC's main financial risk exposure and its financial risk management policies are as follows. Credit risk All of CCIC's cash is held by one financial institution. Credit risk relating to advances to coalitions and other receivables is generally diversified since CCIC negotiates with a large number of organizations. Credit risk relating to projects receivable is minimal as these amounts are part of funding agreements with well established organizations. Interest rate risk CCIC's investments are at fixed interest rates. Accordingly, there is limited exposure to interest rate risk. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk management serves to maintain a sufficient amount of cash and cash equivalents and to ensure that CCIC has financing sources such as bank loans for a sufficient authorized amount. CCIC establishes budget and cash estimates to ensure it has the necessary funds to fulfil its obligations.

12 Notes to Financial Statements FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES, AND FINANCIAL RISKS (Continued) Policies and processes for managing capital The CCIC's objectives when managing capital are: - To safeguard CCIC's ability to continue as a going concern; - To meet its general fund obligations. CCIC manages its capital structure in the context of economic and market conditions as well as related risks on the nature of capital, and the planned use of the capital.
