Chartered Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Members of Saint Leonard's Society of Nova Scotia (operating as Shelter Nova Scotia) We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Saint Leonard's Society of Nova Scotia (operating as Shelter Nova Scotia), which comprise the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2016 and the statements of revenues and expenditures, changes in net assets and cash flows 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 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. Auditor's 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 the auditor's 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 qualified audit opinion.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Saint Leonard's Society of Nova Scotia (operating as Shelter Nova Scotia) (continued) Basis for Qualified Opinion In common with many not-for-profit organizations, Saint Leonard's Society of Nova Scotia (operating as Shelter Nova Scotia) derives revenue from fundraising activities the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of Saint Leonard's Society of Nova Scotia (operating as Shelter Nova Scotia). Therefore, we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to fundraising revenue, excess of revenues over expenses, and cash flows from operations for the year ended March 31, 2016 and current assets and net assets as at March 31, 2016. Qualified Opinion In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Saint Leonard's Society of Nova Scotia (operating as Shelter Nova Scotia) as at March 31, 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.

Notes to Financial Statements NATURE OF OPERATIONS Saint Leonard's Society of Nova Scotia (operating as Shelter Nova Scotia) (the "society") was incorporated under the Societies Act of Nova Scotia on May 2, 1968. The society provides support service, overnight shelter and housing for half-way transition to community placement for those who need it. It is exempt under the Income Tax Act as a non-profit organization and registered charity. The society conducts programs and services and operates from the following locations: Sir Sanford Fleming House (SSFH), at 2549-55 Brunswick Street, Halifax Nehiley House, at 3170 Romans Avenue, Halifax Barry House, at 2704/2706 Gottingen Street, Halifax Metro Turing Point (MTP), at 2170 Barrington Street, Halifax Cunard Street Apartments, at 5506 Cunard Street, Halifax Herring Cove Apartments, 191 Herring Cove Rd, Halifax About 33% (2015-34%) of revenue contributions come from Correctional Services Canada (CSC) and about 41% (2015-43%) comes from the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services (DCS). 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for notfor-profit organizations (ASNFPO). Capital assets Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Capital assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a declining balance basis at the following rates: Buildings 2.5% Computer hardware 30% Location equipment 20% Office equipment 20% Capital assets are amortized at one half of the normal annual rate in the year of acquisition, no amortization is recorded in the year of disposal. Capital assets acquired during the year but not placed into use are not amortized until they are placed into use. (continues) 7
Notes to Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Impairment of long lived assets The society tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying amount to the projected future net cash flows the long-lived assets are expected to generate through their direct use and eventual disposition. When a test for impairment indicates that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Deferred revenue Current contributions to operations received for use over the next 12 months are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized in the period the revenue is intended to be used. Revenue recognition Saint Leonard's Society of Nova Scotia (operating as Shelter Nova Scotia) follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Contributions are recognized when the expenditures for which the contributions were received are incurred and when the collection of the contributions is reasonably assured. Rental income is recognized as revenue in the period it becomes receivable per the related lease. Donations are recognized as revenue when received. Contributed services Volunteers contribute a significant amount of their time each year. Because of the difficulty in determining their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements. Donated goods The fair value of donated goods, if any, are recorded when the amount can be reasonably estimated. When the amounts cannot be estimated, the nature of significant donated goods are disclosed. Government assistance The forgivable loan, recorded in deferred capital contributions, from the Department of Community Services is amortized over 15 years. Other government assistance for acquiring capital assets is deferred and amortized on the same basis and according to the same rates as the related capital assets or to income as eligible expenditures are incurred.

Notes to Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Financial instruments policy Financial instruments are recorded at fair value when acquired or issued except for related party transactions which are recorded at the exchange amount. In subsequent periods, financial assets with actively traded markets are reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses reported in income. All other financial instruments are reported at amortized cost, and tested for impairment at each reporting date. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale, or issue of financial instruments are expensed when incurred. Measurement uncertainty The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates are periodically reviewed and any adjustments necessary are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The most significant estimates in these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts and the estimated useful lives of the capital assets. 2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The society is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments and has a comprehensive risk management framework to monitor, evaluate and manage these risks. The Society's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and long term debt. The following analysis provides information about the society's risk exposure and concentration as of March 31, 2016. Credit risk Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The society is exposed to credit risk from contributors. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends and other information. Due to the nature of contributions, the society does not have significant issues collecting receivables, resulting in a minimal exposure to credit risk. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The society is exposed to this risk mainly in respect of its receipt of funds from its contributors and other related sources, long-term debt, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. 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 society is mainly exposed to interest rate risk. (continues) 9
Notes to Financial Statements 2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the society manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. The society is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its floating interest rate bank indebtedness and credit facilities. 3.

ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE The society's ability to continue operations is dependent on government funding. Should this funding change management is of the opinion that continued viable operations would be doubtful. 12
Notes to Financial Statements 12. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT During the current year it was determined that accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2015 relating to wages were understated in the amount of $57,331. The effect of this prior period adjustment for the fiscal 2015 year was that the accrued liabilities increased by $57,331 and excess of revenue over expenditures and net assets decreased by $57,331. 13
