Independent Auditors' Report To the Board of Directors of Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Inc. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Inc., which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017, and the statements of operations, 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. 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 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 auditors consider internal control relevant to the organization'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 organization'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 Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Inc. as at December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-forprofit organizations.

Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2017 1.

Nature of operations Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Inc. (the organization) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated under the Non-Profit Corporations Act of Saskatchewan. The organization was formed to be the voice of Saskatchewan business, making Saskatchewan a better place to live, work, and invest. The organization is not subject to income taxes under the Income Tax Act.

2.

Significant accounting policies These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. The significant policies are detailed as follows: (a) Revenue recognition The organization follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. 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. Restricted investment income is recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted investment income is recognized as revenue when earned. Investment income includes dividends and interest income recorded on the accrual basis, as well as realized investment gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments subsequently measured at fair value. Investment income is included in the statement of operations, deferred or reported directly in net assets depending on the nature of any external restrictions imposed on the investment income. Business and local chamber memberships are recognized as revenue proportionately over the period to which they relate. (b) Equipment Equipment is recorded at cost. The organization provides for amortization using the declining balance method at rates designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, as set out in note 5. One half of the year's amortization is recorded in the year of acquisition. No amortization is recorded in the year of disposal. (c) Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost. The organization provides for amortization using the straight-line method at rates designed to amortize the cost of the intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, as set out in note 5.

Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2017 2.

Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) Financial instruments Financial assets originated or acquired or financial liabilities issued or assumed in an arm's length transaction are initially measured at their fair value. In the case of a financial asset or financial liability not subsequently measured at its fair value, the initial fair value is adjusted for financing fees and transaction costs that are directly attributable to its origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption. Such fees and costs in respect of financial assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value are expensed. Subsequent measurement: Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable, and due from related party. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The organization subsequently measures short term investments at fair value, without adjustment for transaction costs and with changes in fair value recognized in operations in the period in which they occur. At the end of each reporting period, management assesses whether there are any indications that financial assets measured at cost or amortized cost may be impaired. If there is an indication of impairment, management determines whether a significant adverse change has occurred in the expected timing or the amount of future cash flows from the asset, in which case the asset's carrying amount is reduced to the highest expected value that is recoverable by either holding the asset, selling the asset or by exercising the right to any collateral. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced directly or through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the reduction is recognized as an impairment loss in operations. Previously recognized impairment losses may be reversed to the extent of any improvement. The amount of the reversal, to a maximum of the related accumulated impairment charges recorded in respect of the particular asset, is recognized in operations. (e) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

3.

Cash Cash includes $45,400 (2016 - $nil) restricted by management for amounts owed to other Chamber organizations, included in accounts payable, on account of commissions earned on sale of Citslinc trip packages.

Financial instruments Transactions in and holding of financial instruments exposes the company to certain financial risks and uncertainties. These risks include: (a) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The organization’s exposure to credit risk relates to accounts receivable and arises from the possibility that a debtor does not fulfil its obligations. Management believes this risk is minimized through detail monthly review of outstanding accounts. The organization performs continuous evaluation of its financial assets and records impairment in accordance with the stated policy.

14.

Comparative figures The financial statements have been reclassified, where applicable, to conform to the presentation used in the current year. The changes do not affect prior year earnings.
