2 KPMG LLP Telephone Chartered Accountants Fax King Street South, 2 nd Floor Internet Waterloo ON N2J 5A3 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To The Members of Bird Studies Canada/Études d Oiseaux Canada We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bird Studies Canada/Études d Oiseaux Canada, which comprise the statements of financial position as at March 31, 2013, March 31, 2012, and April 1, 2011, the statements of operations, changes in fund balances and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, 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 an 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 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.

13 Notes to Financial Statements Years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 Bird Studies Canada/Études d Oiseaux Canada (BSC) (the Organization ) is incorporated without share capital under the laws of the province of Ontario. The mission of BSC is to advance and encourage the wider understanding, appreciation and conservation of wild birds and their habitats, in Canada and elsewhere, through studies using the skills, enthusiasm and support of its members, volunteers, staff and the interested public. The Organization is a registered charity under the Income Tax Act and, accordingly, is exempt from income taxes, provided certain requirements of the Income Tax Act are met. On April 1, 2012, the Organization adopted Canadian Accounting Standards for Not-For-Profit Organizations in Part III of the CICA Handbook. These are the first financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. In accordance with the transitional provisions in accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, the Organization has adopted the changes retrospectively, subject to certain exemptions allowed under these standards. The transition date is April 1, 2011 and all comparative information provided has been presented by applying accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. As a result of transitioning to these new standards, there is no impact to the financial statements and thus no transitional adjustments are required to be booked to net assets nor excess of revenue over expenses. 1. Summary of significant accounting policies and reporting practices: (a) Fund accounting: BSC follows the restricted fund method of accounting for contributions. The purpose of the funds is as follows: (i) Operating Fund: The Operating Fund accounts for the Organization s program and administrative activities. The fund reports unrestricted resources and restricted operating program grants. (ii) Endowment Fund: The Endowment Fund reports resources contributed for endowment. Investment income earned on resources of the Endowment Fund is reported in the accounts of this fund. (iii) Capital Fund: The Capital Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses related to BSC s property, buildings and equipment.

14 Notes to Financial Statements, page 2 Years ended March 31, 2013 and Summary of significant accounting policies and reporting practices (continued): (a) Fund accounting (continued): (iv) Baillie Fund: The James L. Baillie Memorial Fund (Baillie Fund) reports the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses related to the Baillie Fund. The fund provides grants to individuals or groups for projects that relate to the dissemination of knowledge, contribution to the preservation of Canadian birds and the study of their natural environment. (v) Tarry Fund: The Doug Tarry Natural History Fund (Tarry Fund) reports the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses related to the Tarry Fund. The fund provides educational support to students with respect to the study of Canadian birds. (vi) Murre Fund: The Murre Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses related to the Murre Fund. The fund provides grants to individuals or groups that relate to the preservation of Murre habitat. (b) Financial instruments: Financial instruments are recorded at fair value on initial recognition. Freestanding derivative instruments that are not in a qualifying hedging relationship and equity instruments that are quoted in an active market are subsequently measured at fair value. All other financial instruments are subsequently recorded at cost or amortized cost, unless management has elected to carry the instruments at fair value. The Organization has not elected to carry any such financial instruments at fair value. Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition of financial instruments measured subsequently at fair value are expensed as incurred. All other financial instruments are adjusted by transaction costs incurred on acquisition and financing costs, which are amortized using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis at the end of the fiscal year if there are indicators of impairment. If there is an indicator of impairment, the Organization determines if there is a significant adverse change in the expected amount or timing of future cash flows from the financial asset. If there is a significant adverse change in the expected cash flows, the carrying value of the financial asset is reduced to the highest of the present value of the expected cash flows, the amount that could be realized from selling the financial asset or the amount the Organization expects to realize by exercising its right to any collateral. If events and circumstances reverse in a future period, an impairment loss will be reversed to the extent of the improvement, not exceeding the initial carrying value.

15 Notes to Financial Statements, page 3 Years ended March 31, 2013 and Summary of significant accounting policies and reporting practices (continued): (c) Property, buildings and equipment: Property, buildings and equipment are recorded at cost.

(d) Revenue recognition: Restricted contributions related to general operations are recognized as revenue of the Operating Fund in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. All other restricted contributions are recognized as revenue of the appropriate restricted fund. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue of the Operating Fund in the year pledged if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assumed. Contributions for endowment are recognized as revenue in the Endowment Fund. Investment income earned in the Endowment Fund is recognized as revenue in the Endowment Fund. Other restricted income is recognized in the fund to which it relates.

16 Notes to Financial Statements, page 4 Years ended March 31, 2013 and Summary of significant accounting policies and reporting practices (continued): (e) 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the year. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, buildings and equipment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and valuation allowance for receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (f) Donated materials and services: Donated materials and services, which would otherwise be paid by the Organization, are recorded at fair value when determinable. A substantial number of volunteers have made significant contributions of their time to the Organization s program and support services. The value of this contributed time is not reflected in these statements. (g) Deferred revenue: Program grants received before the statement of financial position date, for programs to be completed for periods after the statement of financial position date, are deferred to the following year and disclosed as deferred revenue on the statement of financial position. 2.
