2008-2009 Annual Report / 45 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Financial statements of THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS / March 31, 2009

Auditors’ report

To the Members of The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

We have audited the balance sheet of The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts as at March 31, 2009, and the statements of revenue and expenses and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Museum’s management. 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 plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Museum as at March 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

2008-2009 Annual Report / 49 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts notes to the financial statements / year ended March 31, 2009

1. pUrpose of the organization The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (the “Museum”), a not-for-profit organization, encourages the plastic arts and an appreciation thereof and acquires, conserves, collects, promotes and exhibits works of art on behalf of the citizens of Montreal, the province of Quebec, Canada and elsewhere. The Museum is incorporated as a private corporation under the Loi sur le Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal and is a registered charity within the meaning of the Income Tax Act.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies The Museum has elected to use the exemption provided by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) permitting not-for-profit organizations not to apply the following Sections of the CICA Handbook: 3862 and 3863, which would otherwise have applied to the financial statements of the Museum for the year ended March 31, 2009. The Museum applies the requirements of Section 3861 of the CICA Handbook, concerning the presentation and disclosures on financial instruments.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and reflect the following significant accounting policies:

Fund accounting The Museum uses the deferral method to account for contributions and follows the fund accounting method whereby resources are classified into funds in accordance with specified activities or objectives.

i) General Fund The General Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenues and operating expenses related to the Museum’s day-to-day operating activities. Endowments, the income from which is to be used to increase the original endowment and for day-to-day operations, are presented as restricted net assets of the General Fund.

ii) Capital Assets Fund The Capital Assets Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenues and operating expenses related to capital assets and the restricted contributions specifically related thereto.

Deferred contributions of the Capital Assets Fund combine federal and provincial grants and the donations specifically restricted for the financing of the buildings.

iii) Acquisitions Fund The Acquisitions Fund reports the assets, liabilities, revenues and operating expenses related to acquisitions of works of art and endowments, the income from which is to be used to increase the original endowment and to purchase works of art.

Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and their subsequent measurement is dependent on their classification as described below. Their classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired or issued, their characteristics and the Museum’s designation of such instruments. Settlement date accounting is used.

50 / 2008-2009 Annual Report The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Classification Cash and cash deposits Held for trading Accounts receivable Loans and receivables Amount receivable – Foundation Loans and receivables Grants receivable Loans and receivables Investments Available-for-sale Bank overdraft Other liabilities Bank loans Other liabilities Accrued interest Other liabilities Accounts payables and accrued liabilities other liabilities Advance from the Foundation Other liabilities Long-term debt Other liabilities

Held for trading Held for trading financial assets are financial assets typically acquired for resale prior to maturity or that are designated as held for trading. They are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Fair value fluctuations, including interest earned, interest accrued, gains and losses realized on disposal and unrealized gains and losses are included in investment income.

Available-for-sale Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for- sale, or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity or held-for-trading investments. Except as mentioned below, available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in the net assets until they are realized when the cumulative gain or loss is transferred to investment income.

Available-for-sale financial assets that do not have quoted market prices in an active market are recorded at cost.

Interest on interest-bearing available-for-sale financial assets is calculated using the effective interest method.

Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Other liabilities Other liabilities are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method and include all financial liabilities, other than derivative instruments.

Transaction costs Transaction costs related to held-for-trading financial assets are expensed as incurred. Transaction costs related to available-for-sale financial assets, held-to-maturity financial assets, other liabilities and loans and receivables are netted against the carrying value of the asset or liability and are then recognized over the expected life of the instrument using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method The Museum uses the effective interest method to recognize interest revenue or expense, which includes transaction costs as well as fees, premiums and discounts earned or incurred on financial instruments.

Interfund balances Interfund balances comprise interfund advances not bearing interest and without specific terms of repayment.

Boutique and Bookstore inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with the cost calculated using the first-in first-out method.

2008-2009 Annual Report / 51 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Deferred charges Costs of exhibitions and other specific events are charged to the year in which the exhibition or event is held.

Accumulated interest The interest accumulated during the realization of the expansion project of the Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion was accumulated separately from the cost of construction and is being recovered through an annual grant from the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine.

Capital assets Capital assets are recorded at cost in the Capital Assets Fund and are amortized using the straight-line method over the following periods:

Buildings 40 years Furniture and equipment 5 years

Employee future benefits The cost of the Museum’s defined benefit pension plan and post-employment benefit plan are determined periodically by independent actuaries. The actuarial valuation is based on the projected benefit method prorated on service (which incorporates management’s best estimate of future salary levels, other cost escalation, retirement ages of employees and other actuarial factors). For the purpose of calculating the expected rate of return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. The post-employment benefit plan is not capitalized.

Actuarial gains or losses arise from the difference between the actual long-term rate of return on pension plan assets for the year and the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets for that year, or from changes in actuarial assumptions used to determine the accrued benefit obligation. The excess of the net accumulated actuarial gain (loss) over 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation and the fair value of the pension plan assets is amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees, being 14 years (2008 – 13 years).

Past-service costs arising from plan amendments are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees active at the date of the amendments.

Deferred contributions Contributions restricted to future period expenses are deferred and recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred.

Deferred contributions reported in the Capital Assets Fund include the unamortized portion of contributions received specifically to defray the cost of the related capital assets and are amortized on the same basis.

Revenue recognition Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue of the appropriate fund in the year the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue of the appropriate fund when received or receivable.

Endowment contributions are recognized as direct increases in net assets.

Restricted investment income is recognized as revenue of the appropriate fund. Unrestricted investment income is recognized as revenue of the General Fund. Income from externally restricted investments is recognized as an increase in the net assets of the appropriate fund.

Works of art The Museum’s permanent collection comprises paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, and decorative arts. The permanent collection is not reflected in the financial statements. Donated works of art are accounted for at fair value based on external appraisal reports. They are fully amortized in the year of acquisition.

52 / 2008-2009 Annual Report The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Future accounting changes In November 2008, the CICA issued amendments to Section 1540, Cash Flow Statement, Section 4400, Financial Statement Presentation by Not-for-profit Organizations, Section 4460, Disclosure of Related Party Transactions by Not- for-profit Organizations, and issued Section 4470, Disclosure of Allocated Expenses by Not-for-profit Organizations. The new standards will be applicable to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Accordingly, the Museum will adopt the new standards as of April 1, 2009.

Section 1540 has been amended to include not-for-profit organizations within their scope.

Section 4400 has been amended in order to eliminate the requirement to treat net assets invested in capital assets as a separate component of net assets and, instead, permit a not-for-profit organization to present such an amount as a category of internally restricted net assets when it chooses to do so. It also clarifies that revenues and expenses must be recognized and presented on a gross basis when a not-for profit organization is acting as a principal in transactions.

Section 4460 has been amended to make the language in Section 4460 consistent with Section 3840, Related Party Transactions.

Section 4470 establishes disclosure standards for a not-for-profit organization that classifies its expenses by function and allocates its expenses to a number of functions to which the expenses relate.

The Museum is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these new Sections on its financial statements.

11. related organizations and transactions

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation (the “Foundation”) is considered, for accounting purposes, to be a related organization, as certain members of the Museum’s Board of Trustees are ex officio members of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation.

The Foundation, incorporated on March 24, 1994, under Part III of the Companies Act (Quebec), is a registered charity. The Foundation is mainly involved in soliciting and receiving donations, bequests and other contributions on behalf of the Museum and administering its funds. In addition, the Museum has entrusted the Foundation with the management of certain investments.

58 / 2008-2009 Annual Report The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Every year the Foundation organizes and manages a fund-raising campaign (the “Annual Campaign”), the proceeds of which are paid entirely to the Museum to finance its operations. The Museum’s financial statements show $1,306,276 ($1,227,542 in 2008) in revenue from the Foundation, of which an amount of $608,501 ($855,950 in 2008) is presented in “Donations and sponsorships.” An amount of $154,311 ($176,382 in 2008) was used to repay the operating expenses of the Foundation that were assumed by the Museum, and an amount of $543,464 ($195,210 in 2008) was used to repay the expenses incurred for the 150th anniversary Campaign. These two last amounts are presented in “Miscellaneous” revenue. The Foundation also paid the following amounts to the Museum: $52,127 ($5,000 in 2008) for acquisitions of works of art and $5,000 ($21,278 in 2008) for educational activities (presented in “Endowment contributions”).

The Foundation also organizes and manages major fund-raising campaigns. From these campaigns, the Museum recorded an amount of $2,181,842 ($1,207,695 in 2008) as follows: $133,400 ($240,895 in 2008) for the acquisition of works of art of which a portion of $115,939 ($240,895 in 2008) presented in “Donations from the Foundation” and $17,461 (nil in 2008) presented in “Donations and sponsorships,” $75,000 ($50,000 in 2008) for the Museum’s day- to-day operations presented in “Donations and sponsorships,” $18,900 ($15,400 in 2008) for educational activities included in “Donations from the Foundation,” $922,900 ($951,400 in 2008) for exhibitions included in “Donations from the Foundation” and $1,031,642 (nil in 2008) for the acquisition of Erskine and American Church and two buildings on Bishop Street presented in “Deferred contributions.”

The advance from the Foundation bears interest at the prime rate charged to the Museum on its line of credit (2.5% as at March 31, 2009). Interest expense on this advance is $78,522 for the year ended March 31, 2009, and is presented in “Interest projects.”

Volunteer Association of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts The Volunteer Association of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (the “Association”) is a separate not-for-profit entity incorporated under Part III of the Companies Act (Quebec). The purpose of the Association is to organize public fund- raising events for the benefit of the Museum.

The Association made a $900,000 donation ($900,000 in 2008) to the Museum. From this donation, an amount of $755,000 ($680,000 in 2008) is presented in “Donations and sponsorships.” The balance of $125,000 ($220,000 in 2008) is presented as a “Deferred contribution.” An amount of $900,000 is included in “Accounts receivable” as at March 31, 2009 ($900,000 in 2008).

12. Financial instruments The Museum holds and issues financial instruments such as investments, grants receivable and debt instruments. The investments consist of:

2009 2008 $ $

Cash 101,568 106,189 Money Market 713 31,078 Bond Pooled Fund 4,739,231 5,283,029 Canadian Corporate Equity Securities 3,237,649 4,842,337 U.S. and International Corporate Equity Securities 1,905,206 2,223,049 International Equity Pooled Fund 1,581,104 2,787,157 11,565,471 15,272,839

Fair value The fair value of investments is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The fair value of the long-term debt is measured by discounting expected residual cash flows at the year-end prime interest rate. Therefore, due to subjective judgment and uncertainty, the aggregate fair value amount should not be interpreted as the realizable value in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

2008-2009 Annual Report / 59 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

As at March 31, 2009 and 2008, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximated fair value, with the following exceptions:

2009 2008 Carrying Carrying value Fair value value Fair value $ $ $ $ General Fund Grants receivable 3,457,315 3,345,001 3,276,965 3,329,457 Long-term debt (2,832,962) (2,720,648) (3,223,556) (3,276,048)

Capital Assets Fund Grants receivable* 16,162,603 18,171,491 18,219,794 19,861,346 Long-term debt (22,112,476) (24,676,089) (21,932,966) (23,689,003)

* Excludes interest receivable of $438,086 ($494,233 in 2008) pertaining to the $2,000,000 debt for the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts, the $43,000,000 debt for the Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion expansion project (Note 6 a)) and the debt of $1,732,125 for a capital payment related to the debt of $43,000,000 (Note 6d)).

Credit risk The Museum has determined that credit risk is minimal given that the counterparties with which it conducts business are mainly government agencies.

Interest rate risk In its investment portfolio, the Museum holds interests in bond mutual funds. The bonds in these mutual funds bear interest at fixed rates. Consequently, a change in market interest rates will affect the market values of the mutual fund bond interests.

Interest rate risk related to long-term debt is judged to be low, as most of the debt (including interest payments) is subsidized by the Government of Quebec and the non-subsidized portion bears interest at fixed rates.

Currency risk In its investment portfolio, the Museum holds interests in U.S. and international securities and in mutual funds invested in U.S. and international securities. Consequently, a currency fluctuation will have an impact on the market value of these investments.

13. Collection of the Museum In its mission to attract the widest possible range of visitors, the Museum has, over the last 148 years or so of its existence, assembled one of the most comprehensive (encyclopedic) collections in North America.

The collection includes mainly paintings, drawings and prints, photographs, sculptures, installations, jewellery, woodcraft, ceramics, furniture and precious metal artifacts.

The collection has a global reach and covers all historical eras, from Antiquity to the present day.

The value of the collection is not reflected in the financial statements. Acquisitions are accounted for as expenses in the Acquisitions Fund. Donated works of art are accounted for at fair value based on external appraisal reports. They are fully amortized in the year of acquisition (see Note 2).

Restoration costs during the year amounted to approximately $962,826 ($506,665 in 2008).

14. Comparative figures Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Auditors’ report

To the Trustees of The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation

We have audited the balance sheet of The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation as at March 31, 2009, and the statements of revenue and expenses and changes in net assets for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Foundation’s management. 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 plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Foundation as at March 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

2008-2009 Annual Report / 63 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation notes to the financial statements / year ended March 31, 2009

1. pUrpose of the Organization The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation (the “Foundation”) is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization under Part III of the Companies Act (Quebec). The Foundation is a registered charity and a public foundation within the meaning of the Income Tax Act. The Foundation is involved mainly in soliciting and collecting donations, bequests and other contributions on behalf of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (the “Museum”) and in administering its funds. In addition, under Article 4 of the agreement between the Foundation and the Museum, the Museum has entrusted the Foundation with the administration of certain investments. These investments are excluded from the Foundation’s financial statements.

2. Significant accounting policies The Foundation has elected to use the exception provided by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) permitting not-for-profit organizations not to apply Sections 3862 and 3863 of the CICA Handbook, which would otherwise have applied to the financial statements of the Foundation for the year ended March 31, 2009. The Foundation applies the requirements of Section 3861 of the CICA Handbook concerning the presentation and disclosures on financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and reflect the following significant accounting policies:

Restricted fund accounting The Foundation follows the restricted fund method, whereby resources are classified into funds in accordance with specified activities or objectives.

i) General Fund The General Fund reports the assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses related to the Foundation’s day-to-day operating activities as well as any other unrestricted fund item or restricted fund item, the materiality of which does not justify separate reporting.

ii) restricted funds Each restricted fund reports its assets and liabilities, revenue and operating expenses in accordance with its respective activities and purpose.

The funds report separately the allocation of restricted donations with a minimum ten-year conservation clause and those with no similar clause. These donations are recorded in the statement of revenue and expenses under the fund corresponding to their restriction.

The Foundation contributes to funding the Museum’s operations through the earnings on the investments in accordance with the objective of each fund and in compliance with the disbursement quota prescribed by law.

Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and their subsequent measurement is dependent on their classification as described below. Their classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired or issued, their characteristics and the Foundation’s designation of such instruments. Settlement date accounting is used.

Classification Cash Held for trading Accounts receivable Loans and receivables Due from the Museum Loans and receivables Investments Available-for-sale Due to the Museum Other liabilities

64 / 2008-2009 Annual Report The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation

Held for trading Held-for-trading financial assets are financial assets typically acquired for resale prior to maturity or that are designated as held for trading. They are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Fair value fluctuations including interest earned, interest accrued, gains and losses realized on disposal and unrealized gains and losses are included in other revenue.

Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for- sale, or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity or held-for-trading investments. Except as mentioned below, available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in the net assets until they are realized when the cumulative gain or loss is transferred to investment income.

Available-for-sale financial assets that do not have quoted market prices in an active market are recorded at cost.

Interest on interest-bearing available-for-sale financial assets is calculated using the effective interest method.

Other liabilities Other liabilities are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method and include all financial liabilities, other than derivative instruments.

Transaction costs Transaction costs related to held-for-trading financial assets are expensed as incurred. Transaction costs related to available-for-sale financial assets, held-to-maturity financial assets, other liabilities and loans and receivables are netted against the carrying value of the asset or liability and are then recognized over the expected life of the instrument using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method The Foundation uses the effective interest method to recognize interest revenue or expense, which includes transaction costs or fees, premiums or discounts earned or incurred for financial instruments.

Contributed services Volunteers contribute a significant amount of time each year to the Foundation, and the Museum’s resources and premises are made available to the Foundation. Because of the difficulty of determining their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements.

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Future accounting changes In November 2008, the CICA issued amendments to Section 4400, Financial Statement Presentation by Not-for-profit Organizations, Section 4460, Disclosure of Related Party Transactions by Not-for-profit Organizations, and issued Section 4470, Disclosure of Allocated Expenses by Not-for-profit Organizations. The new standards will be applicable to annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Accordingly, the Foundation will adopt the new standards as of April 1, 2009.

Section 4400 has been amended to clarify that revenues and expenses must be recognized and presented on a gross basis when the Foundation is acting as a principal in transactions.

Section 4460 has been amended to make the language in Section 4460 consistent with Section 3840, Related Party Transactions.

2008-2009 Annual Report / 65 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Foundation

Section 4470 establishes disclosure standards for a foundation that classifies its expenses by function and allocates its expenses to a number of functions to which the expenses relate.

The Foundation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these new standards on its financial statements.

Investment management fees and safekeeping charges amount to $100,400 ($116,795 in 2008) and are presented as a decrease in investment revenue.

4. Related party transactions Donations made by the Foundation to the Museum are presented separately in the statement of revenue and expenses.

The due from Museum bears interest at the prime rate charged to the Museum on its line of credit (2.5% as at March 31, 2009). Interest revenue related to this due amounts to $78,522 for the year ended March 31, 2009, and is included in investment revenue.

The Museum pays certain expenses of the Foundation. These expenses are reimbursed to the Museum and are presented as an increase in donations to the Museum and amount to $697,775 ($371,592 in 2008).

These transactions are made in the normal course of operations and are recorded at the exchange amount.

5. Financial instruments

Market risk Market risk is the risk investments in mutual funds are exposed to that is caused by changes in interest rates, stock exchange indicators and the level of volatility of these rates.

Currency risk The Foundation holds investments in U.S. and international securities and in mutual funds invested in U.S. and international securities. Consequently, a currency fluctuation will have an impact on the market value of these investments.

Fair value The fair value of accounts receivable, due from and to the Museum, is approximately equal to their carrying values due to their short-term maturity.

6. Statement of cash flows A cash flow statement has not been prepared since the cash flow information is readily apparent from other financial statements and related notes.
