April 19, 2011 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Chartered Accountants 111 5 Avenue SW, Suite 3100 Calgary, Alberta Canada T2P 5L3 Telephone +1 403 509 7500 Facsimile +1 403 781 1825 Independent Auditor s Report To the Members of The Samaritan's Purse - Canada We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Samaritan's Purse - Canada (the Organization ), which comprise the statement of financial position as at and the statements of operations and changes in fund balances and cash flows for the year then ended, and related notes including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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. PricewaterhouseCoopers refers to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an Ontario limited liability partnership, which is a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, each member firm of which is a separate legal entity.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. Basis for qualified opinion In common with many charitable organizations, the Organization derives some of its revenue through donations, the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the Organization, and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to contributions, excess (deficiency) of revenue over expenditures, current assets and fund balances. Opinion In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter discussed in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Samaritan's Purse - Canada as at and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements 1 Nature of the organization The Samaritan's Purse - Canada ( the Organization ), incorporated under Part II of the Canada Corporations Act, is a not-for-profit Christian relief organization whose purpose is to aid in the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the utmost parts of the world, to serve the church of Jesus Christ in its total ministry, and to exemplify Christianity by acts and deeds patterned after the Good Samaritan (Luke 10). The Organization does this by meeting the physical needs of victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, and disease. The Organization distributes gifts in kind such as medical supplies and equipment in countries where there is need. The Organization is a registered charity under the Income Tax Act and accordingly is exempt from income taxes. 2 Significant accounting policies Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are the responsibility of management. These estimates and assumptions are subject to measurement uncertainty and actual results and financial position may differ from those reported in these financial statements. Significant estimates included in financial statements are useful life of capital assets, accruals and valuation of gifts in kind. Fund accounting The Organization follows the restricted fund method of accounting for contributions. The Organization maintains the following funds: The General Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenditures related to the general operating activities of the Organization. The Capital Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenditures related to the Organization s capital assets. The Ministry Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenditures related to the Organization s programs or locations. Revenue recognition Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the General Fund in the year received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. (1)
Notes to Financial Statements Restricted contributions related to a specific program or location are recognized as revenue of the Ministry Fund in the year received. Unrestricted investment income is recognized as revenue of the General Fund. Contributed goods and services Donations of goods and services are recorded when the fair market value is reasonably determinable. A portion of the Organization s work is dependant on voluntary services from many members and supporters. Because of difficulty in determining their value, these contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements. Investments Investments are carried at fair market value determined by reference to published price quotations in an active market. The change in fair market value is recorded directly in the Statement of Operations in the General Fund. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Investments with maturities within one year have been classified as short-term investments. Foreign currency translation Current assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Transactions during the year are translated at exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses occurring from the date of the transaction to the date of payment are reflected in the Statement of Operations. Capital assets Capital assets are recorded at cost. Donated assets are recorded at fair value at the date of contribution. Amortization is recorded using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives: Building Computer equipment and software Office furniture and equipment Automobiles Project equipment 40 years 3 to 5 years 3 to 5 years 5 years 3 to 5 years (2)
Notes to Financial Statements Financial instruments The Organization has chosen to follow the disclosure requirements of CICA Handbook Section 3861, instead of new expanded rules set out in Sections 3862 and 3863, in keeping with the options provided by Handbook Sections 3862.43(c) and 3863.40(c). The Organization s financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet consist of cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, long term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term liability. The Organization has classified each financial instrument into the following categories: Category Held for trading Loans or receivables Financial liabilities Financial Instrument Cash and short term and long term investments Accounts receivable Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term liability All financial instruments must initially be recognized at fair value on the balance sheet. Subsequent measurement of the financial instruments is based on their classification. Held for trading financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in the Statement of Operations in the General Fund. Financial loans or receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at cost or amortized cost. a) Fair values The fair value of these financial instruments, excluding long term liability, approximate their carrying amount due to their short term nature. The fair value of long-term liability is not materially different from its carrying amount. b) Credit risk The Organization does not have a concentration of credit exposure with any one customer or sponsor. The Organization does not consider that it is exposed to undue credit risk. c) Interest rate risk The Organization is not exposed to interest rate risk. Comparative figures Certain of the prior year s figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year s presentation. (3)
