AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing Management’s performance of its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Board exercises this responsibility with the assistance of the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board. The Committee is composed of not fewer than five (currently nine) members, at least three (currently six) of whom are directors of Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Limited. The Committee reviews the annual consolidated financial statements, considers the appropriateness of accounting policies and assesses the overall quality of the financial reporting. The Committee also reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding financial matters and oversees the process that Management has in place to identify financial reporting risks. The Committee recommends to the Board the auditors to be appointed by the shareholders and approves in advance fees for the auditors’ services. Deloitte & Touche LLP was appointed by the shareholders as independent auditors in 2008 to conduct an examination and express their opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The Auditors’ Report outlines the auditors’ opinion and the scope of their examination. The services provided by the independent auditors are restricted to the audit of the consolidated financial statements, audit-related and financial risk services. The Committee reviews and approves the terms of engagement of the independent auditors, the scope and plan for the external audit and reviews with the auditors the results of the audit and the Auditors’ Report. The auditors report to the Committee. The Committee also discusses with the auditors their independence from Management and Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Limited and receives written confirmation of their independence. Management and auditors attend Committee meetings and each is provided with the opportunity to meet privately with the Committee. The Committee met seven times in 2008.

34 calgary stampede auditors’ report

AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS We have audited the consolidated statement of financial position of Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Limited as at December 31, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations and community investment and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the organization’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 our 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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Limited as at December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

38 calgary stampede NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008, with comparative figures for 2007 (in thousands of dollars except as noted)

Purpose of the Organization: The purpose of the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Limited (“the Calgary Stampede”) is to preserve and promote western heritage and values. The Calgary Stampede is incorporated under the Companies Act of Alberta as a not-for-profit organization and is exempt from income taxes under the Canadian Income Tax Act. The directors of the Calgary Stampede are elected or appointed volunteers who cannot be paid in any form for their services under its by-laws. The shareholders of the Calgary Stampede, who are also volunteers, cannot receive any dividends, nor can the shares appreciate in value. Shares can neither be sold nor held by persons outside of the Province of Alberta nor in the estates of deceased shareholders.

1. Change in Accounting Policies:

Capital Disclosures In October 2007, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, which prescribes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed. This Section is applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. Accordingly, the Calgary Stampede adopted the new standard for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008 and additional disclosures required as a result of adopting this standard are included in Note 16.

Inventory In June 2007, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3031, Inventories, to harmonize accounting for inventories under Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) with International Financial Reporting Standards. This standard establishes guidance on the determination of cost and its subsequent recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net realizable value and subsequent reversal of impairment to original cost. It also provides guidance on the cost formulas that are used to assign costs to inventories. The Calgary Stampede adopted this Section retrospectively effective January 1, 2008 and has determined that there is no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Going Concern Effective January 1, 2008, the Calgary Stampede adopted the additional requirements of the CICA Handbook Section 1400—General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation. This section requires Management to make an assessment of the Calgary Stampede’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to disclose any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Calgary Stampede does not anticipate any impact to its consolidated financial statements arising from the adoption of the accounting pronouncement.

2. Significant Accounting Policies: The consolidated financial statements of the Calgary Stampede have been prepared by Management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for not-for-profit organizations. A precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events and consequently, the preparation of periodic financial statements necessarily involves the use of estimates and approximations. Areas subject to estimation include accounts receivable, useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets and potential contingencies. Those estimates also affect the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.

2008 report to the community 39 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008, with comparative figures for 2007 (in thousands of dollars except as noted)

(a) Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Calgary Stampede, its wholly owned subsidiary, Weadick Properties Limited (“Weadick”), and its 50% interest in Stampede Entertainment Inc. (“SEI”).

The purpose of Weadick is to acquire lands for future Calgary Stampede expansion and development purposes. Weadick is incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act as a not-for-profit organization and is exempt from income taxes under the Canadian Income Tax Act.

The purpose of SEI is to present various western and Calgary Stampede related entertainment during the annual Stampede festival and throughout the year via television, movies and live performance. SEI is incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act as a for-profit entity and is subject to income taxes under the Canadian Income Tax Act. The Calgary Stampede has joint control of SEI, and therefore proportionately consolidates SEI’s operations into the results of the Calgary Stampede.

The Calgary Stampede also controls the Calgary Stampede Foundation (“the Foundation”) due to its ability to appoint the majority of the board of directors of the Foundation. The Calgary Stampede has elected to disclose all pertinent financial information of the Foundation in the notes to these consolidated financial statements and accordingly, the Foundation’s financial accounts have not been consolidated with those of the Calgary Stampede. The Foundation has the primary objective of establishing programs for the benefit of young residents of Southern Alberta to advance their knowledge and understanding of the history, heritage, traditions and culture of Alberta. The Foundation is incorporated under the Companies Act of Alberta as a not-for-profit organization and is a registered charity under the Canadian Income Tax Act and accordingly, is not subject to income taxes.

(b) Cash and Short-term Deposits: Cash and short-term deposits comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, deposits held in trust, bankers’ acceptances and commercial paper having a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase, and are recorded at cost, which approximates market value. Investment revenue is recognized when it is receivable.

(c) inventory: Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.

(d) Employee Future Benefits: The Calgary Stampede has a number of defined benefit pension plans as well as a defined contribution pension plan that provide pension benefits to most of its employees. The defined benefit pension plans are based on years of service and final average salary.P ension benefit payments are not automatically increased for inflation.

The cost of pension benefits earned by employees is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method prorated on service and Management’s best estimate of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation and retirement ages of employees. Plan obligations are discounted using current market interest rates and plan assets are presented at fair value.

40 calgary stampede NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008, with comparative figures for 2007 (in thousands of dollars except as noted)

Actuarial gains (losses) arise from the difference between the actual long-term rate of return and the expected rate of return on plan assets, the difference between actual experience and actuarial assumptions used to determine the accrued benefit obligation, and from changes in actuarial assumptions. The excess of the accumulated net actuarial gains (losses) over 10 percent of the greater of the benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets is amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees for the applicable pension plan. For the two pension plans where such amortization is occurring, the average remaining service period of the active employees is 13 years and 12 years.

The Calgary Stampede is amortizing a transitional asset on a straight-line basis over 13 years for one of its plans and is amortizing a transitional obligation over 10 years for another of its plans, which represented the average remaining service period of the active employees for the respective plan at the 2001 transition date.

(e) Property and Equipment and Amortization: Buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Major overhauls and improvements are capitalized, while normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Park Development projects include the design and construction costs incurred on a number of projects related to the Calgary Stampede’s expansion plans. Interest incurred on debt specifically obtained to finance capital projects is capitalized during the construction period. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis at rates designed to amortize the assets over their estimated useful lives.

Title to the land on which certain portions of Stampede Park is located is vested in The City of Calgary and is used by the Calgary Stampede under a long-term lease expiring in the year 2060, with an additional 50-year renewal term. Lands owned directly by the Calgary Stampede are recorded at cost and are held for Calgary Stampede expansion and development purposes.

(f) impairment of Long-lived Assets: Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when and to the extent that the carrying value of an asset exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposition.

(g) Advances on Future Events: Advances on future events represent funds received in advance for events including the Stampede festival, conventions and trade shows and facilities, building and ice rentals. Revenue from such events is recognized as income in the period in which the events take place.

(h) Financial Instruments: The Calgary Stampede has classified all financial assets as loans or receivables, with the exception of cash and short-term deposits and restricted cash, which have been classified as held for trading. The Calgary Stampede has classified all financial liabilities as other financial liabilities.

Financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value and changes in those fair values are recognized in A“ dministration, marketing and park services” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Community Investment. Financial assets available for sale are measured at fair value, with changes in those fair values recorded directly in “Community investment” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Financial assets held to maturity, loans or receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method of amortization.

2008 report to the community 41 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008, with comparative figures for 2007 (in thousands of dollars except as noted)

At each statement of financial position date, the Calgary Stampede assesses whether a financial asset carried at cost is impaired. If there is objective evidence that impairment exists, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value and the carrying amount of the asset is reduced with the loss being recognized in “Administration, marketing and park services” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Community Investment.

Other than the interest rate swaps noted below, the Calgary Stampede does not engage in hedging activities.

(i) interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps (“swaps”) are utilized to manage interest rate risk on the Calgary Stampede’s long-term debt. The Calgary Stampede does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Calgary Stampede believes the swaps are effective hedges, both at inception and over the term of the instrument, as the term to maturity, the (notional) principal amount and the interest rate basis in the instrument all match the terms of the debt instrument being hedged. The swap agreements provide for the periodic exchange of payments (without the exchange of the notional principal amount upon which the payments are based), which are recorded as an adjustment of interest expense on the hedged debt instrument. The related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included as an adjustment to accrued interest. The unrealized change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized as a component of “Community Investment” in the Statement of Operations and Community Investment and disclosed separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until the related hedged items settle.

(j) Grants and Contributions: The Calgary Stampede follows the deferral method of accounting for grants and contributions. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as income when received or receivable. Amounts externally restricted for capital purposes are initially recorded as “Deferred contributions” when received or receivable and subsequently included in income in the same proportion as the amortization of the related assets for which the capital contributions were expended. Amounts that relate to operating expenditures of a future period are deferred until the related expenditures are incurred.

(k) Revenue Recognition: Revenue, with the exception of grants and contributions, is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Rental revenue from the long-term ground lease agreement disclosed in Note 12(b), is recognized on a systematic and rational basis representative of the time pattern in which the benefit of the lease property is utilized. The Calgary Stampede has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the land being leased and therefore, accounts for this lease as an operating lease.

(l) donated Services: A substantial number of unpaid volunteers make significant contributions of their time in developing and delivering Calgary Stampede programs. The value of this contributed time is not reflected in the financial statements since objective measurement or valuation is indeterminable.

3. Future Accounting Changes:

Financial Instruments Effective for years beginning on or after October 1, 2008, the CICA Handbook has been amended to require disclosure of information with regard to the significance of financial instruments on an entity’s financial position and performance, the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the year and at year end, and how the entity manages those risks. The Calgary Stampede will adopt these standards effective January 1, 2009 and expects only incremental disclosures from those currently presented will be required.

Financial Statement Presentation The CICA Handbook has been amended effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009 to include certain standards for not-for-profit organizations within its scope. The main features of the amendments are: revised standards for presentation and disclosure of net assets, including internally restricted net assets, and revenues and expenses; introduction of standards for presentation of an entity’s cash flows and disclosure of related party transactions; and, disclosure of accounting policies adopted for the allocation of expenses among functions, the nature of the expenses being allocated and the basis on which such allocations have been made. The Calgary Stampede is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these new standards and expects only incremental disclosure will be required in its consolidated financial statements.

4. Inventory: 2008 2007 Merchandise $ 759 $ 795 Food and beverage 613 712 Other 13 83 $ 1,385 $ 1,590

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the sale of inventory resulted in the recognition of expenses aggregating $7,639 (2007 – $7,946). There were $83 in write-downs of inventory to net realizable value recognized for the year ended December 31, 2008 (2007 – $60) and $Nil reversals of write-down of inventories have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008 (2007 – $Nil).

5. Discontinued Operation – Horse Racing: The Calgary Stampede fully exited its horse racing operation on December 31, 2008.

There has been no impairment loss of long-lived assets recognized in the Calgary Stampede’s financial statements related to this discontinued operation. All assets specifically related to the horse racing operation have been fully amortized at December 31, 2008. Current assets and liabilities associated with the horse racing operation have been segregated from continuing operation balances and reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The following table sets forth the results of operation associated with horse racing, separately reported as a discontinued operation for the current and prior years. 2008 2007 Operating revenue $ 8,749 $ 8,766 Racing discretionary grant 469 482 Slot revenue supplement 6,092 4,072 15,310 13,320 Operating expense 10,819 11,216 Net operating income $ 4,491 $ 2,104

The Calgary Stampede received, through Horse Racing Alberta, a discretionary grant of 0.95% (2007 – 0.95%) of the gross handle from horse racing operations and a slot revenue supplement based on 25% (2007 – 18.33%) of computer gaming terminal proceeds generated by the Stampede Casino. Both the discretionary grant and the slot revenue supplement ceased at December 31, 2008.

6. Employee Future Benefits: The Calgary Stampede has a number of defined benefit pension plans as well as a defined contribution pension plan. In 2008, the Calgary Stampede made cash payments to its pension plans for employee future benefits amounting to $3.0 million (2007 – $2.8 million).

(a) defined Benefit Pension Plans: Actuarial valuations of the Calgary Stampede’s defined benefit pension plans were carried out as at September 30, 2008 and were then extrapolated to December 31, 2008.

As at December 31, 2008, the Calgary Stampede, through The City of Calgary, had initiated the expropriation of the remaining 22 properties in Victoria Park that are required for the planned Calgary Stampede expansion. The final purchase price of these properties will be determined at the conclusion of the expropriation compensation hearings.

Included in “Cash and short-term deposits” in the Statement of Financial Position are deposits held in trust of $4,265 (2007 – $554) required by The City of Calgary for the full value of construction work being completed on city property. These deposits will be returned upon city verification that the work has been completed to their satisfaction.

The Calgary Stampede has initiated design and construction on a number of projects as part of its Park Development Plan. Information concerning these projects at December 31, 2008 is as follows:

Approved Accumulated Outstanding Cost Cost Commitments Roundup Centre Expansion (a) $ 47,500 $ 36,556 $ 10,944 Back of House Projects (b) 19,000 5,970 12,455 Agriculture Arena and Supporting Infrastructure (c) 3,000 1,568 200 By the Banks of the Bow Sculpture (d) 2,000 318 1,682 $ 71,500 $ 44,412 $ 25,281

(a) Construction of the Roundup Centre Expansion is estimated to cost $47.5 million and is expected to be open for operation in June 2009. The Roundup Centre Expansion is being funded from the Government of Alberta capital grant (see Note 10). (b) Construction of the Back of House Projects (which include the construction of the Stay Bridge and Spiller Road Tunnel) are estimated to cost $19.0 million and are expected to be completed by June 2009. (c) Preliminary design costs for the Agriculture Arena have been approved; however, total project costs and timing of completion are currently unknown. (d) By the Banks of the Bow Sculpture is estimated to cost $2.0 million and is expected to be completed by spring 2010.

8. Bank Indebtedness: The revolving demand operating loan facility, available to a maximum $20.0 million, bears interest at the bank’s prime interest rate. As security, a Canadian chartered bank holds a fixed debenture in the amount of $50.0 million charging certain lands and leased fee interests owned by the Calgary Stampede. No amount is outstanding on the demand operating loan at December 31, 2008 (2007 – $12,868).

2008 report to the community 47 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008, with comparative figures for 2007 (in thousands of dollars except as noted)

9. Long-term Debt: 2008 2007 Committed non-revolving credit facility maturing in 2012 $ 23,838 $ 24,568 Committed non-revolving credit facility maturing in 2019 29,359 29,706 Principal due within one year (1,656) (1,553) $ 51,541 $ 52,721

These facilities, including the interest rate swap agreements described below, can be extended at the request of the Calgary Stampede and at the bank’s discretion until 2024 for the facility maturing in 2012 and 2032 for the facility maturing in 2019.

The committed non-revolving credit facilities with a Canadian chartered bank bear interest at bankers’ acceptance rates (1.50% at December 31, 2008) plus 0.30%, and are guaranteed by The City of Calgary for an additional cost of 0.02%. As security, The City of Calgary, as unconditional guarantor, holds a fixed debenture in the amount of $135.5 million charging certain lands owned by the Calgary Stampede.

The Calgary Stampede has entered into interest rate swap agreements with a Canadian chartered bank under which the Calgary Stampede has fixed interest payments on the portion of its committed non-revolving credit facility maturing in 2012 at 6.23% per annum and on the portion maturing in 2019 at 5.74%. The fair market value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2008, which have been estimated using year-end market rates would, for the portion maturing in 2012, result in a loss of $6,015 (2007 – loss of $2,090) and, for the portion maturing in 2019, a loss of $7,508 (2007 – $1,810). These losses approximate the amounts the Calgary Stampede would pay if the swap agreements were closed out at that date.

The prior year’s Community Investment balance has been restated to reflect the fair value of the interest rate swaps in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The 2007 opening Community Investment was previously reported as $69,479 and has been decreased by $2,520 of accumulated unrealized losses on the interest rate swaps and is now reported as $66,959. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the unrealized loss on interest rate swaps amounted to $1,380 and the accumulated interest rate swap liability reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2007 amounted to $3,900.

In addition to the foregoing credit facilities, and subject to the above noted security, the Calgary Stampede has an undrawn $80.0 million committed non-revolving credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank available for future Calgary Stampede expansion and development. Subsequent to year end, the Calgary Stampede has committed to drawing $17.6 million of this facility in June 2009 and will enter into a 25-year interest rate swap agreement with fixed interest payments of 3.82% per annum plus 0.80% bankers’ acceptance margin, with the bankers’ acceptance margin subject to future changes. The outstanding principal is guaranteed by The City of Calgary for an additional annual cost of 0.02%.

All unspent funds related to the capital grant are reported as “Restricted cash” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. If, for any reason, the capital grant, including interest earned, is not fully expended by December 31, 2009, the Calgary Stampede will be required to return the remaining funds to the Government of Alberta. At December 31, 2008, the total amount not yet expended is $11,548.

13. Financial Instruments: The Calgary Stampede’s financial instruments include cash and short-term deposits, accounts receivable, restricted cash, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred operating grant revenue, long-term debt and interest rate swaps.

(a) Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities: The fair values of financial instruments, excluding long-term debt and interest rate swaps, approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt approximates carrying value given its underlying floating interest rate and the fair value of the associated swaps is disclosed in Note 9.

(b) Credit Risk: The Calgary Stampede’s accounts receivable are due from a diverse group of customers and are subject to normal credit risks.

52 calgary stampede NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008, with comparative figures for 2007 (in thousands of dollars except as noted)

The Calgary Stampede conducted business transactions with the Foundation to assist the Foundation in delivering its programs and to host fund raising events.

These transactions are in the normal course of operations and have been measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

The Calgary Stampede has committed to a sponsorship agreement with the Foundation to provide funds for a five year period beginning in 2009. The total sponsorship commitment is $550.

16. Management of Capital: The Calgary Stampede’s objective when managing capital is to ensure it has adequate cash flow to maintain operations and fund capital projects that meet the Calgary Stampede’s short and long-term objectives.

In the management of capital, the Calgary Stampede includes bank indebtedness, long-term debt and community investment in the definition of capital. At December 31, 2008, the Calgary Stampede has $126,235 in capital (2007 – $139,405).

The Calgary Stampede manages its capital structure and makes adjustments due to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Calgary Stampede may issue new debt and/or issue new debt to replace existing debt with different characteristics.

The Calgary Stampede must maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.0:1. The Calgary Stampede is in compliance with all externally imposed capital requirements.

17. Contingency: In a prior year, the Calgary Stampede was named as one of the defendants in a suit claiming $91.6 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Calgary Stampede executed a Settlement Agreement with the plaintiffs at no cost to the Stampede and, accordingly, has been discharged as a defendant.

In the normal course of operations, the Calgary Stampede is involved, from time to time, in various legal claims. Management believes the exposure to current claims would not have a material impact on the financial statements.

18. Supplementary Cash Flow Information: In 2008, the Calgary Stampede has made cash payments of interest of $3,288 (2007 – $2,994) and received cash interest income of $571 (2007 – $43).
