a See Note 16 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

The Centre derives funding from five sources: Parliamentary appropriations, donor

contributions, recovery of administrative costs, investment income, and other income.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011‐2012, Parliamentary appropriations increased by 16.3% to

$52.3 million from $44.9 million in the same period in 2010‐2011. The increase relates to the

ongoing implementation of the Development Innovation Fund.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 3

A significant portion of expenditures are funded by a variety of revenue sources including

Parliamentary appropriations. It is impractical to assign these types of expenditures to specific

revenue sources and therefore IDRC cannot provide a reconciliation of Parliamentary

appropriations received and receivable to appropriations used.

The donor contribution funding for development research programming increased 16.6% to

$7.4 million from $6.3 million for the same period in 2010. The funds received in advance are

recognized as revenue when the related expenses are incurred (see explanation of the variance

in the expense section). The variance in the recovery of administrative costs is proportionate to

the donor contributions revenue recognized.

The increase in investment income compared to budget and the same period in 2010 was

driven primarily by the higher amount available to invest in the short term.

Expenses

Expenses are tracked under two main headings: development research programming and

corporate and administrative services.

a Revised to reflect different timing of project expenses.

The increase in research project expenses funded by Parliamentary appropriations mirrors the

increased revenue and is in‐line with targets. Actual expenses related to research projects

funded by donor contributions during the first quarter is a combination of delayed spending

on two large programs and faster than expected spending on two specific projects. Even though

donor‐funded project expenditures were lower than budgeted, they were still 28.2% over


expenses incurred during the same period in 2010. The projects with the highest year‐over‐year

increase all relate to the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund.

The year‐over‐year decline in the capacity‐building portion of the development research

programming expenses funded by Parliamentary appropriations is due, in part, to the slower

spending on capacity‐building projects as well as to management’s decision to restrict capacity‐

building expenses. Although contributions from donors for capacity building increased

during the first quarter of fiscal 2011‐2012, the variance to budget reflects the timing of those

contributions.

The 8.0% decline in corporate and administrative services in the three months ended

30 June 2011 from the same period in 2010 reflects the lower use of professional services and

management’s prudent approach on other expenses.

a Certain accounts were reclassified to comply to the IFRS.

Total assets at 30 June 2011 increased by 24.0% (from $108.8 million to $134.9 million) compared

to 31 March 2011. The change derives largely from the increase in cash received in relation to

the Development Innovation Fund and from donor receivables. Liabilities increased by

$10.8 million from 31 March 2011 (or 21.4%) largely due to deferred revenue liability from

donor contributions (see Note 13 from the Notes to the Financial Statements).


TABLE 5: EQUITY

a Reflects starting position and revised revenue and expenses forecast.

The 38.6% year‐over‐year increase in unrestricted equity is due to the savings in the expenses

that were previously mentioned. The increase from $10.2 million to $34.8 million in internally

restricted equity was generated by management’s decision to set aside funding for the

Development Innovation Fund and the African Adaptation Research Centres. The 36.5%

increase in reserved equity reflects a change in accounting due to the adoption of IFRS. For

more details, see Note 23 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Cash flows

TABLE 6: CASH FLOWS

The net results of operations totaled $15.3 million, up 63.6% or $5.9 million from 30 June 2010.

This increase is a result of higher Parliamentary revenues, more revenues from donor

contributions, and lower expenses due to delays in spending. The non‐cash items change is due

largely to fluctuations in the receivables related to donor contributions and the associated

deferred revenue. The cash flows from investing activities show a year‐over‐year increase of

$3.4 million (or 20.9%). Specifically, investment purchases for the first three months of this fiscal

year was $66.9 million (compared to $19.5 in June 2010) and investment maturities were $54.4

million (compared to $3.5 million in June 2010). The investment opportunities and returns in the

market have improved markedly since June 2010.

Corporate developments

Four new program prospectuses were approved by the Board of Governors in June 2011. A

program prospectus is the strategic document that describes a program’s objectives, outcomes,

and the portfolio of projects the Centre intends to support. Each prospectus fits with the

Centre’s strategic framework and is valid for five years. It also grants staff the authority to

engage in research and capacity‐building activities within the scope of the prospectus. The four

new prospectuses are:

Governance for Equity in Health Systems: how to improve access to health services;

Non‐Communicable Disease Prevention: how to reduce the public health burden due to

cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory disease;

Innovation for Inclusive Development: how innovation in the informal economy can

improve livelihoods; and

Information and Networks: how information networks affect citizens and marginalized

communities.

The four prospectuses pursue different objectives from their predecessor programs that ran

between 2006 and 2011. The new orientation was informed by external evaluations of the

predecessor programs conducted in 2010.

Evaluations are a key component of IDRC’s process to ensure project achievements and

significant learning are captured collaboratively during and at the end of the research. During

the first quarter of 2011‐2012, two significant evaluation reports were completed:

WaDImena – Regional Water Demand Initiative for the Middle East and North Africa:

Final Project Review.

Impact Evaluation for Policy Making: A Close Look at Latin American Countries with

Weaker Research Capacities.

IDRC received its instruction for the horizontal strategic and operating review of the

Government’s international assistance envelope at the very end of the period. This review was

announced by the Minister of Finance in the 2011‐2012 Government of Canada budget passed in

June 2011. The review is being coordinated by the Canadian International Development

Agency.


Risk management

There has not been any material change in the risks to performance reported in “Management’s

Discussion and Analysis “of the 2010‐2011 Annual Report.

Outlook

At this time, the context in which IDRC operates is the same as it was at the time of the 2010‐

2011 Annual Report.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2011 (unaudited) (in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)


ii) Contingent liabilities Management makes judgments as to the probability of the settlement of contingent

liabilities due to litigation.

iii) Assumptions and other major sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty

at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the

carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are:

the estimated useful lives of property and equipment

the estimated useful lives of intangible assets

the carrying value of employee severance and sick leave benefits.

No other accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified to have a significant risk

of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next

accounting period.

iv) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Centre has a present obligation (legal or constructive)

arising from a past event, if it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to

settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the liability. The

expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net

of any reimbursement. The Centre currently establishes provisions for sick leave and

severance benefits.

5. Recent accounting pronouncements

The International Accounting Standards Board has a number of projects underway, some of which

will affect standards relevant to the Centre. The Centre is closely monitoring the progress of these

projects. Revisions and additions of the following standards could potentially have an impact on

the financial statements and may require revisiting the Centre’s conclusions:

IAS 1 ̶ Presentation of financial statements

IAS 17 ̶ Leases

IAS 19 ̶ Employee benefits

IFRS 13 ̶ Fair value measurement

6. Seasonality of operations

The Centre’s operations consist of funding research projects in the developing regions of the

world. It receives most of its funding from the Parliament of Canada. Parliamentary revenue is

recognized when it is received, whereas donor contributions are recognized when the financial

resources are spent. Research project expenditures are driven by different cycles (academic,

climatic, and agricultural) thus tend not to be evenly distributed during the year.



7. Cash and cash equivalents

The Centre invests in money market instruments such as commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances,

and bearer deposit notes that are rated R‐1 (low) or better by the Dominion Bond Rating Service

(DBRS). The weighted average yield as at 30 June 2011 is 1.20% (31 March 2011: 1.15%) and the

average term to maturity at the time of purchase is 80 days (31 March 2011: 66 days). The carrying

amount of cash of the Centre’s quarter portfolio is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

8. Investments

The Centre invests in bonds that are rated A or better by the DBRS and money market instruments

such as commercial paper, banker’s acceptances, and bearer deposit notes that are rated R‐1 (low)

or better by the DBRS. The weighted average yield as at 30 June 2011 is 1.22% (31 March 2011:

1.23%) and the average term to maturity of the Centre’s period end portfolio at the time of

purchase is 134 days (31 March 2011: 139 days). The carrying amount of investments is a

reasonable approximation of their fair value.

9. Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are incurred in the normal course of business and are due on demand. The

carrying values of accounts receivable approximate their fair value due to the short‐term nature of

these instruments. Of the total from donor contributions, 50% is due from the William and Flora

Hewlett Foundation and is not considered by management to present a significant risk

(31 March 2011: 86% was due from the Canadian International Development Agency).

17. Equity – internally restricted

The African Adaptation Research Centres initiative (AARC) will help deliver timely and

independent scientific advice and expert assessment for adaptation investments and policy

decisions across Africa. Funding was provided to existing organizations that have demonstrated

their scientific leadership in adaptation and their capacity to work effectively with decision‐

makers. Management has internally restricted the AARC funding because of the relative

importance of the amount the Centre received in 2010‐2011, which management intends to

disburse to recipients over approximately three years. Internally restricted equity allows

management to segregate the AARC commitments from the recurring programming of the Centre.

A portion of the 2011 ̶ 2012 Parliamentary appropriation was internally restricted by management

to finance the Development Innovation Fund (DIF). The DIF is a large initiative implemented by

the Centre to support leading‐edge scientific research that improves the lives of the poor in

developing countries. The DIF is focused on global health research. Funding support is being

provided to scientific institutions engaged in health research through a series of peer‐reviewed

grant competitions which result in research awards to successful applicants. Management has

segregated the DIF in its accounts because of its significant size and the impact any delays or

variances in implementation could have on the Centre’s results.

18. Commitments

a. Program‐related The Centre is committed to making payments up to $482.6 million (March 2011: $471.9 million)

during the next five years, subject to funds being provided by Parliament or donors and subject

to compliance by recipients with the terms and conditions of grant agreements. Of this amount,

$373.4 million (March 2011: $366.7 million) is expected to be covered by funding from future

Parliamentary appropriations and the balance of $109.2 million (March 2011: $105.2 million) by

funding from donor contribution agreements.

course of business. The maximum exposure is represented by cash and cash equivalents,

investments, and accounts receivable amounts presented on the Centre’s statement of financial

position. Credit risk associated with accounts receivable is considered by management to be

minimal since most receivables are due from donor partners and Canadian government

entities. The Centre’s investment policy sets out guidelines that define the minimum acceptable

counterparty credit rating pertaining to investments. The investments in financial institutions

and Canadian government entities must have minimum ratings from two external rating

agencies that are equivalent to Dominion Bond Rating Service (DBRS) ratings of R‐1 (low) for

short‐term investments and A for long‐term investments. The investment policy is reviewed

and approved as required by the Board of Governors, and procedures which establish credit

limits for each counterparty are reviewed by management at least annually. These policies and

procedures are designed to manage and limit the credit risk associated with these financial

instruments.

i) Concentrations of credit risk The Centre’s primary exposure to credit risk is summarized as follows:

b. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will

fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk:

currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk. The Centre is exposed to potential losses

as a result of movements in interest and foreign exchange rates. i) Currency risk Foreign exchange risk is the potential adverse impact of foreign exchange rate movements on

the value of financial instruments. The Centre has exposure to currency risk in part from the

operating costs of six regional offices throughout the world. To manage this risk, the Centre

normally funds regional operations to meet short‐term requirements only, thereby minimizing

currency balances and reducing exposure to significant foreign exchange rate movements.

The Centre has multi‐year donor contribution agreements with non‐Canadian donors which

are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. When progress payments are

received from donors, they are translated to Canadian dollars at the weekly exchange rate (see

Note 4g). In turn, the Centre issues multi‐year grant agreements which are denominated in

Canadian dollars. The Centre manages its foreign currency risk on these activities by setting

aside a portion of the donor contribution agreement funding to absorb exchange gains and

losses until such time that the full impact of the currency risk is known. The magnitude of the

DBRS rating June 2011 March 2011

Canadian charted banks R1‐L 68 920 55 924

Corporations R1‐L 14 463 7 986

Federal, provincial or municipal governments R1‐M 2 987 9 974



foreign currency funding set aside is gauged against actual fluctuations on a quarterly basis,

with additions being made only when needed, and releases being made only toward the end of

the agreement, when no longer required. The Centre’s currency risk is not considered material. ii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will

fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Centre is exposed to interest rate risk in

that changes in market interest rates may cause fluctuations in the fair value of investments. To

manage this risk, the Centre normally invests in short‐term marketable securities that are not

significantly affected by variations in interest rates. The Centre’s business model objective is to

hold investments until maturity, collecting contractual cash flows over the term of the

investment and mitigating exposure to fair value changes.

c. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Centre will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial

obligations as they fall due. Liquidity risk can arise from mismatched cash flows related to

assets and liabilities. The treasury function within Corporate Accounting is responsible for the

Centre’s liquidity management. This risk is managed by monitoring forecasted and actual cash

flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Centre also

holds cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities readily convertible to cash, to

ensure that sufficient liquidity can be made available to meet forecasted cash requirements.

Given the timing of receipts and payments, the Centre’s exposure to liquidity risk is not

considered material.

The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued liabilities is a reasonable approximation

of fair value.

22. Capital management

The Centre defines its capital as the balance of equity comprised of unrestricted, internally

restricted amounts for special programs and operational projects, and reserved amounts. The

Centre has a capital management process in place to ensure that it is appropriately capitalized and

that the capital position is identified, measured, managed, and regularly reported to the Board of

Governors.

The Centreʹs objectives, with respect to its capital management, are to maintain an appropriate

amount of equity in order to ensure the Centre has the ability to moderate the impact on research

programming activities of potential fluctuations in future revenue streams.

Capital is managed through a Board‐approved equity policy which restricts a portion of equity to

fund special or significant programs and operational initiatives planned for future fiscal years.

Management also reserves a portion of equity as a financial planning reserve. The financial

planning reserve is intended to cushion the impact of significant variances in development



research programming expenditures. The Centre is not subject to any externally imposed capital

requirements.

23. Reconciliation of the financial statements from CGAAP to IFRS

Note A IAS 20 requires the recognition of untargeted government grants as revenue in

the period it is received. Under Canadian GAAP, the portion of government

grants used for property and equipment, and intangible assets was held in

deferred revenue and recognized as revenue as the assets were depreciated or

amortized.

The impact at 1 April 2010 of recognizing accumulated deferred revenue linked

to property and equipment and intangible assets resulted in a $12 351 million

decrease in deferred revenue ($1 977 current and $10 374 non‐current) and a

corresponding increase in equity (unrestricted $6 151 million and reserved

$6 200). At 31 March 2011, the effect on equity was $11 934.

Note B IFRS 9 allows for alternative classification of financial instruments. Upon

transition, the Centre classified investments as “amortized cost” instead of

“available for sale” under Canadian GAAP. This classification eliminated the

need to record changes in the fair value of investments through Other

Comprehensive Income.

At 1 April 2010, unrestricted equity increased by $30. On 31 March 2011,

unrestricted equity decreased by $6.

Note C IAS 19 requires the accrual of amounts related to benefits given to employees.

The standard also strongly encourages organizations to use an actuary to

determine the amount of the liability.

Based on the actuarial valuation performed, it was determined that although the

sick leave benefit does not vest, it represented potential future costs of $250 at

1 April 2010. The actuary also determined that the future severance benefit costs

were underestimated by $135 at 1 April 2010. Both of these amounts were

transferred from unrestricted equity.

These line items were further adjusted at 31 March 2011 by a reduction of $3 for

sick leave and an increase in severance of $123. In other words, at 31 March 2011

accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to sick leave was $247 ($250‐$3)

and the non‐current employee benefits liability was $258 ($135+$123).
