2 ABCD KPMG LLP Chartered Accountants Box 10426, 777 Dunsmuir Street Vancouver BC V7Y 1K3 Telephone (604) Telefax (604) Internet INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Members of British Columbia Medical Association Report on the financial statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the British Columbia Medical Association, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2013, the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising 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 accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, 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 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 our 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, we consider 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 in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. KPMG LLP is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ( KPMG International ), a Swiss entity. KPMG Canada provides services to KPMG LLP.

3 Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the British Columbia Medical Association as at December 31, 2013 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-forprofit organizations. Report on other legal and regulatory requirements As required by the Society Act (British Columbia), we report that, in our opinion, these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

8 Notes to Financial Statements The British Columbia Medical Association (the "Association") is a not-for-profit organization incorporated as a corporation without share capital under the Society Act of British Columbia. The Association promotes a social, economic and political climate in which its members may provide the highest standard of healthcare services. The Association assists all physicians practicing in the Province of British Columbia by negotiating fee schedules and benefits on behalf of those physicians who practice medicine on a fee-for-service, sessional basis or other alternative methods of payment. The Association is exempt from income taxes. 1. Significant accounting policies: The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Not-For-Profit Organizations in Part III of the CICA Handbook. (a) Revenue recognition: The Association follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Externally restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are recognized. Contributions restricted for the purchase of capital assets are deferred and amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis, at a rate corresponding with the amortization rate for the related capital assets. Investment income is recognized as revenue when earned. Membership of the Association is voluntary and therefore member dues are recorded when received. Revenue from insurance administration fees, management fees, and building rents is recognized when the services are provided. (b) Short-term investments and investments: In accordance with the Association s investment policy, investments and short-term investments consist of corporate and government bonds, and money market funds. Short-term investments are classified as such when they have a maturity date of less than one year. 5

9 Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 1. Significant accounting policies (continued): (c) Capital assets: Purchased capital assets are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense. Betterments which extend the estimated life of an asset are capitalized. When a capital asset no longer contributes to the Association s ability to provide services, its carrying amount is written down to its residual value. Capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful lives as follows: Years Building 30 Building improvements 10 Furniture and fixtures 10 Computer equipment 3 Office equipment 5 (d) Use of estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the determination of useful lives for amortization of capital assets, carrying amount of capital assets, assets and obligations related to employee future benefits, and provisions for contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (e) Financial instruments: The Association s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, short-term investments, investments, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Short-term investments and investments are solely comprised of bonds and money market funds. Financial instruments are recorded at fair value on initial recognition and, other than investments in equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, are subsequently recorded at cost or amortized cost, unless management has elected to carry the instruments at fair value. The Association has not elected to carry any such financial instruments at fair value. Financial assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis at the end of the fiscal year if there are indicators of impairment. 6

(e) Medical care fund is established to enhance the ability of physicians to provide quality medical care.

(f) Negotiations stabilization fund is utilized to offset the budgeting fluctuations for negotiations as the expenditures can vary significantly from year to year. (g) Capital asset replacement fund is set aside to fund additions to capital assets. The board of directors restricts the use of funds for operations by way of a resolution whereby only funds in excess of the internally restricted fund balances are available for the general operations of the Association.
