VisionThe Environmental Services Association of Alberta

(ESAA) is a not-for-profit, event funded and

membership driven association dedicated to

supporting a strong environmental services industry.

MandateESAA’s mandate is to be a leader in promoting and

developing the environmental services industry

through education, events and meetings which

facilitate productive relationships with relevant

organizations and government.

ValuesESAA is and will remain accountable to its members

for operating in a financially responsible manner

while delivering high quality events and providing

relevant services.

ESAA is a leading industry association responsive to

the needs of the environmental services industry by

On behalf of the ESAA

Board of Directors, I am

pleased to report that

ESAA remains financially

self-sufficient with an

operational reserve fund

which continues to build

equity enabling the

organization to meet

all its commitments and

continue to invest in

the delivery of quality

membership services.

During this past year, the ESAA Board and

management attended a strategic planning session

to ensure ESAA is meeting targets set out in the

Association’s 3-Year Business Plan.

WaterTech featured a new venue, 45 technical

presentations and the first-ever poster session from

15 NAIT students. Given the positive reception and

interest in WaterTech, the ESAA Board and staff are

confident that it will continue to grow and draw

delegates whose business and professional endeavors

involve water topics and issues.

As with previous years, exhibitor spots for RemTech

sold out well in advance and we were near capacity

for delegates. Features of 2015 included a special

stream on the Giant Mine and the introduction of the

ESAA Industry Awards and Photo Contest. RemTech

continues to be the Association’s flagship event and

would not be possible without the ongoing support

of the membership and industry.

ESAA continues to support the Environmental

Artworks Foundation of Alberta and several other

charities supported by ESAA and its members. Our

members’ community involvement was recognized

through the inaugural ESAA Industry Awards that

highlight a member organization that contributes

significant resources to a community related project.

Looking forward, 2016 is going to be another

challenging year for our members and their clients.

With a little patience we will make it through

this economic slow-down in the Alberta economy.

During this time, ESAA will continue to deliver the

highest quality services and world-class events. ESAA

membership fees have not increased for over six years

and will not increase in 2016. RemTech registration

fees have been not increased since 2010 and

sponsorship levels have been decreased.

In closing, I cannot stress enough the importance

of ESAA’s membership in its ongoing guidance and

support. ESAA members are what makes ESAA the

success it is today. As President of one of Canada’s

finest industry associations, I thank you for your

continued support.

ESAA Management Report

ESAA continues to represent a fast-paced, evolving,

innovative and quickly growing industry sector.

As the needs of the environment industry change,

ESAA strives to make a difference to our members’

businesses and the environment industry by providing

timely information, opportunities and networking

events that will positively impact their business.

This past year has been no different as ESAA’s staff

have worked hard to improve its existing programs,

and services including B.I.D.S., The Weekly News,

Environment Business, WaterTech and RemTech

symposia.

New to ESAA members were the ESAA Industry

Awards and ESAA Photo Contest. The ESAA Photo

Contest celebrates the connection between the

environment and ESAA members and the ESAA

Industry Awards program recognizes member

excellence in the areas of environmental innovation

and community involvement. The Industry Awards

program is open to all ESAA members with the

winners announced and awarded each year at

Remtech. Both member-exclusive initiatives received

positive feedback in their inaugural year and we look

forward to the continuation of these programs.

ESAA endeavors to implement the valuable feedback

and constructive recommendations from members,

industry, delegates, sponsors and supporters to ensure

that ESAA continues to deliver the highest quality

of networking events, symposiums and information

sessions. ESAA management remains committed to

accountability and long-term fiscal sustainability as

demonstrated by the results outlined in this report

and the financial audit.

The staff would like to thank ESAA’s dedicated Board

of Directors for their efforts and guidance over the

past year. As well, the involvement of our members

in this Association is appreciated and necessary.

Membership involvement is what sets ESAA apart as

an Association leader.

As always, our primary goals are to be engaged with

the membership and industry. We will provide our

members with quality service and continue to be the

dynamic organization that everyone can be proud to

be a part of. Thank you for your continued support.

(a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit and investment in money market funds.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting standards fornot-for-profit organizations requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect thereported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date ofthe financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.Significant estimates included in the financial statements are the useful lives of capital assets,website costs and accruals for purposes of determination of amortization. Actual results could differfrom these estimates.

(g) Financial instruments

Measurement of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are financial assets or financial liabilities of the association where, in general,the association has the right to receive cash or another financial asset from another party or theassociation has the obligation to pay another party cash or other financial assets

The association initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certainnon-arm’s length transactions that are measured at the exchange amount.

The association subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortizedcost.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, and accountsreceivable.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include mortgage payable, accounts payable, andaccrued liabilities.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost or amortized cost are tested for impairment, at the end of eachyear, to determine whether there are indicators that the asset may be impaired. The amount of thewrite-down, if any, is recognized in the statement of revenues and expenditures. A previouslyrecognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or byadjusting the allowance account. The reversal may be recorded provided it is no greater than theamount that had been previously reported as a reduction in the asset and it does not exceed originalcost. The amount of the reversal is recognized in the statement of revenues and expenditures.

8. Financial instruments

The association is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments and has acomprehensive risk management framework to monitor, evaluate and manage these risks. Thefollowing analysis provides information about the association's risk exposure and concentration as ofDecember 31, 2015.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. Theassociation is exposed to credit risk from customers. In order to reduce its credit risk, theassociation reviews a new customer's credit history before extending credit and conducts regularreviews of its existing customers' credit performance. An allowance for doubtful accounts isestablished based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends andother information. The association has a significant number of customers which minimizesconcentration of credit risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the association will not be able to meet its financial obligations, includingcommitments as they become due. In order to manage this risk, the Association forecasts itsrequirements to determine whether sufficient funds will be available. The Association expects togenerate sufficient funds through operations to meet its obligations.

(continues)

8. Financial instruments (continued)

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree ofvolatility of these rates. The association is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on cash heldin U.S. dollars. The association does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreigncurrency risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate cash flows risk and interest rate price risk are the risks that the fair value or future cashflows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Theassociation is exposed to interest rate price risk on its fixed rate mortgage and interest rate cash flowon its variable rate savings account.

9. Restatement of prior period

The association concluded that certain amounts related to expenses that were included in expensesin the current year were amounts that should have been included in the prior year. As a result, theassociation restated its prior period financial statements as follows:
