MN~ Independent Auditors' Report

To the Trustees of Mother Earth's Children's Charter School Society:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Mother Earth's Children's Charter School Society, which comprise the statement of financial position as at August 31, 2014 and the statements of operations, cash flows, change in net debt, and remeasurement gains and losses, and the schedules of changes in accumulated surplus, capital revenue, program operations, and plant operations and maintenance expenses 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 auditing standards, 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.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting 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 auditors' 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.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mother Earth's Children's Charter School Society as at August 31, 2014 and the results of its operations, changes in net debt and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards.

MOTHER EARTH’S CHILDREN’S CHARTER SCHOOL SOCIETY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2014

14

1. Authority and purpose

Mother Earth’s Children’s Charter School Society (the “Society”) delivers educational programs under the authority of the School Act, Revised Statutes of Alberta 2000, Chapter S-3. It is not taxable under Section 149(1) of the Income Tax Act.

The Society receives funding for instruction and support under Education Grants Regulation (AR 120/2008). The regulation allows for the setting of conditions and use of grant monies. The Society is limited on certain funding allocations and administration expenses.

2. Significant accounting policies These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the CICA Canadian public sector

accounting standards (PSAS). The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below:

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recorded on an accrual basis. Instruction and support allocations are recognized in the year to which they relate. Fees for services related to courses and programs are recognized as revenue when such courses and programs are delivered.

Eligibility criteria are criteria that the Society has to meet in order to receive certain contributions. Stipulations describe what the Society must perform in order to keep the contributions. Contributions without eligibility criteria or stipulations are recognized as revenue when the contributions are authorized by the transferring government or entity. Contributions with eligibility criteria but without stipulations are recognized as revenue when the contributions are authorized by the transferring government or entity and all eligibility criteria have been met.

Contributions with stipulations are recognized as revenue in the period the stipulations are met, except when and to the extent that the contributions give rise to an obligation that meets the definition of a liability in accordance with Section PS 3200. Such liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue.

Expenses

Expenses are reported on an accrual basis. The cost of all goods consumed and services received during the year is expensed. Actual salaries of personnel assigned to two or more programs are allocated based on the time spent in each program. Employee benefits and allowances are allocated to the same programs, and in the same proportions, as the individual’s salary. Supplies and services are allocated based on actual program identification.


AUGUST 31, 2014

15

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Prepaid expenses

Certain expenditures incurred and paid before the close of the school year are for specific school supplies, which will be consumed subsequent to the year-end, and are accordingly recorded as prepaid expenses. Certain insurance expenses also fall into this category.

Portfolio investments

The Society has investments in GIC’s that have maturity dates greater than 3 months. GIC’s not quoted in an active market are reported at cost or amortized cost. Detailed information regarding portfolio investments is disclosed in Note 5.

Asset classification

Assets are classified as either financial or non-financial. Financial assets are assets that could be used to discharge existing liabilities or finance future operations. Non-financial assets are acquired, constructed or developed assets that do not normally provide resources to discharge existing liabilities but are employed to deliver services, may be consumed in normal operations and are not for resale in the normal course of operations. Non-financial assets include tangible capital assets and prepaid expenses.

Tangible capital assets

Tangible capital assets are initially recorded at cost which includes amounts that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. Donated tangible capital assets are recorded at their fair market value at the date of donation, except in circumstances where fair value cannot be reasonably determined, when they are then recognized at nominal value. Transfers of tangible capital assets from related parties are recorded at original cost less accumulated amortization. Tangible capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life as follows:

Equipment 10 to 20 years Vehicles 10 years Computer equipment 5 years

Only capital assets with a cost in excess of $5,000 are capitalized. No amortization is recorded in the year of acquisition.

Vacation pay

Vacation pay is accrued in the period in which the employee earns the benefit.


AUGUST 31, 2014

16


Program reporting

The Society’s operations have been segmented as follows:

ECS-Grade 12 Instruction: The provision of Early Childhood Services education and grades 1 – 12 instructional services that fall under the basic public education mandate.

Plant Operations and Maintenance: The operation and maintenance of all school buildings and maintenance shop facilities as well as the operations of the Hot Lunch program.

Transportation: The provision of regular and special education bus services (to and from school), whether contracted or board operated, including transportation facilities.

Board and System Administration: The provision of board governance and system-based/central office administration.

External Services: All projects, activities, and services offered outside the public education mandate for ECS children and students in grades 1-12. Services offered beyond the mandate for public education are to be self-supporting, and Alberta Education funding may not be utilized to support these programs.

The allocation of revenue and expenses are reported by program, source, and object on the Schedule of Program Operations.

Pensions

Pension costs included in these statements comprise the cost of employer contributions for current service of employees during the year. The current and past service costs of the Alberta Teachers Retirement Fund are met by contributions by active members and the Government of Alberta. Under the terms of the Teachers Pension Plan Act, the Society does not make pension contributions for certificated staff. The Government portion of the current service contribution to the Alberta Teachers Retirement Fund on behalf of the jurisdiction is included in both revenue and expenses. For the school year ended August 31, 2014, the amount contributed to the Teachers’ Retirement Fund by the Province was $68,791 (2013 - $71,308). The Society participates in a multi-employer pension plan, the Local Authorities Pension Plan, and does not report on any unfunded liabilities. The Society does not make pension contributions for the staff. At December 31, 2013, the Local Authorities Pension Plan reported an actuarial deficiency of $4,861,516,000 (2012 – deficiency of $4,977,303,000).


AUGUST 31, 2014

17


Financial instruments

A contract establishing a financial instrument creates, at its inception, rights and obligations to receive or deliver economic benefits. The financial assets and financial liabilities portray these rights and obligations in the financial statements. The Society recognizes a financial instrument when it becomes a party to a financial instrument contact. The Society’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, portfolio investments, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise indicated, it is management's opinion that the Society is not exposed to significant credit and liquidity risks, or market risk, which includes currency, interest rate and other price risks. Portfolio investments in equity instruments quoted in active markets and derivates are recorded at fair value. All other financial assets and liabilities are recorded at cost or amortized cost and the associated transaction costs are added to the carrying value of items in the cost or amortized cost upon initial recognition. The gain or loss arising from derecognition of a financial instrument is recognized in the Statement of Operations. Impairment losses such as write-downs or write-offs are reported in the Statement of Operations.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. These short-term investments have a maturity of three months or less at acquisition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investing.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue includes contributions received for operations which have stipulations that meet the definition of a liability per Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS) PS 3200. These contributions are recognized by the Society once it has met all eligibility criteria to receive the contributions. When stipulations are met, deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in the fiscal year in a manner consistent with the circumstances and evidence used to support the initial recognition of the contributions as a liability.

Contributed services

Volunteers contribute a considerable number of hours per year to schools to ensure that certain programs are delivered, such as kindergarten, lunch services and the raising of school generated funds. Because of the difficulty of compiling these hours and the fact that these services are not otherwise purchased, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Contributed supplies

Supplies to support the hot lunch program are donated to the Society. These supplies consist of perishable food products nearing expiry, with no market value. Because of the difficulty in determining the value of the contributions due to the fact that there is no market for these products, contributed supplies are not recognized in the financial statements.

Measurement uncertainty

The precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent on future events. As a result, the preparation of financial statements for a period involves the use of estimates and approximations, which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the potential impairment of assets, rates for amortization and estimated employee future benefits.

9. Contractual obligations

The Society is committed to a lease agreement with a related party, The Friends of MECCS Education Foundation, which expires January 31, 2022. As per the lease agreement, the Society shall pay $350,000 per annum as rent in respect of each year of the term. Each year this amount is subject to change based on Friends of MECCS Education Foundation board approval.

10. Economic dependence

The Society’s primary sources of revenue are received from the Province of Alberta and the Government of Canada. The Society’s ability to continue viable operations is dependent on this funding.

11. Related party transactions

All entities consolidated in the accounts of the Government of Alberta are related parties of school jurisdictions. These include government departments, health authorities, post-secondary institutions and other school jurisdictions in Alberta. All related-party transactions are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. Friends of MECCS Education Foundation (the “Foundation”) is a related party as its board of directors includes management and board members from the Society. These two entities have not been consolidated as it was determined that there is no common control. The Society and the Foundation pay expenses on behalf of one another, which are then fully reimbursed at cost. The Society also pays the Foundation rent for the use of the school and related property. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and have been measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration agreed to by the parties.

15. Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Should the Society be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. The continuation of the Society is dependent upon the continuing availability of Federal and Provincial funding, the additional funding of third parties, and upon adherence to budgeted expenses. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities which would be necessary if the Society were unable to continue its operations.

16. Additional information

The following information is required to comply with the disclosure requirements of the Charitable Fund-raising Act and Regulation: Gross contributions received were $100,986. Gross contributions were disposed of through various expenditures which have been detailed on

the schedule of program operations and were in excess of 10% of the gross contributions received.

There were no expenses incurred for the purposes of soliciting contributions. No amounts were paid as remuneration to employees whose principal duties involve fundraising.
