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, 2008 and the statements of revenue and operating 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 stan- dards 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 sup- porting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the ac- counting 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, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

40 | ANNUAL REPORT 07 – 08 NOTES to financial statements year ended March 31, 2008

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. Changes in accounting policies Financial instruments The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued new Handbook sections on financial instruments, Section 3855 and Section 3861. Section 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, addresses when financial instruments should be recognized and how they should be measured. Section 3861, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation, provides standards for how financial instruments should be classified on financial statements and disclosure requirements.

The Museum has adopted both Sections retroactively as of April 1, 2007, without restatement of prior years. As a result of adopting these new Sections, the Foundation recorded an increase of $3,237,610 to investments and net assets reflecting the change in accounting for the investments classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value rather than cost or market value assigned at the time of the donation which was previously the case.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and their subsequent measurement is dependent on their classification described in Note 3.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 07 – 08 | 41 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 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 any terms of repayment.

Boutique and Bookstore inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, cost being the average cost.

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 Pavillion 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.

42 | ANNUAL REPORT 07 – 08 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

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.

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 Financial instruments In December 2006, the CICA issued Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures and Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation. Both Sections will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. Accordingly, the Museum will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. Section 3862 on financial instruments disclosures requires the disclosure of information about: a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity’s financial position and performance and b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and how the entity manages those risks. Section 3863 on the presentation of financial instruments establishes standards for the presentation of financial instruments, and is unchanged from the presentation included in Section 3861.

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

Inventories In June 2007, the CICA issued Section 3031, Inventories, replacing Section 3030, Inventories. The new Section will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Museum will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. It provides more guidance on the measurement and disclosure requirements of inventories. The Museum does not expect that the adoption of this new Section will have a material impact on its financial statements

These amounts are subject to annual increases in accordance with the consumer price index.

12. 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 directors are ex-officio members of the board of directors 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.

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 $1,227,542 ($1,525,618 in 2007) in revenue from the Foundation, of which an amount of $855,950 ($1,060,809 in 2007) is presented in “Donations and sponsorships.” An amount of $176,382 ($464,809 in 2007) was used to repay the operating expenses of the Foundation that were assumed by the Museum, and an amount of $195,210 (nil in 2007) was used to repay the expenses incurred for the 150th anniversary Campaign. These two amounts are presented in “Miscellaneous” revenue. The Foundation also paid the following amounts to the Museum: $5,000 ($321,498 in 2007) for acquisitions of works of art (presented in “Donations from the Foundation”), $29,458 ($10,000 in 2007) for educational activities (presented in “Miscellaneous” revenue), $10,250 (nil in 2007) for internships (presented in “Miscellaneous” revenue), and $30,000 (nil in 2007) to finance a book on the history of the Museum (presented in “Miscellaneous” revenue). An amount of $21,278 (nil in 2007) received for educational activities is presented as an endowment contribution.

ANNUAL REPORT 07 – 08 | 47 The Museum recorded revenue from the Foundation in accordance with donors’ wishes in the amount of $1,207,695 ($1,006,778 in 2007) from the 1998-2002 campaign as follows: $240,895 ($48,578 in 2007) for acquisitions of works of art, $15,400 (nil in 2007) for educational activities, nil ($50,000 in 2007) for the Museum’s day-to-day operations, and an amount of $951,400 ($908,200 in 2007) for exhibitions. These amounts are presented in “Donations from the Foundation”, except for an amount of $10,000 which is present as an endowment contribution.

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 ($830,000 in 2007) to the Museum. From this donation, an amount of $680,000 ($150,000 in 2007) is presented in “Donations and sponsorships” in the statement of revenue and operating expenses and changes in net assets. The balance of $220,000 ($680,000 in 2007) is presented as a “Deferred contribution”. An amount of $900,000 is included in accounts receivable as at March 31, 2008 ($830,000 in 2007).

13. Financial instruments The Museum holds and issues financial instruments such as investments, grants receivable and debt instruments.

The investments consist of:

2008 2007 Fair value Cost $ $

Cash 106,189 27,186 Money Market 31,078 198,299 Bond Pooled Fund 5,283,029 4,520,820 Canadian Corporate Equity Securities 4,842,337 3,916,766 U.S. and International Corporate Equity Securities 2,223,049 1,906,210 Index Pooled Fund – U.S. Equity Securities - 524,101 International Equity Pooled Fund 2,787,157 2,246,569 15,272,839 13,339,951

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.

As at March 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximated fair value, with the following exceptions:

2008 2007 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair value value value value $ $ $ $ General Fund Grants receivable 3,276,965 3,329,457 3,388,251 3,393,072 long-term debt (3,223,556 ) (3,276,048 ) (2,727,946 ) (2,732,627 )

* Excludes interest receivable of $494,233 ($550,111 in 2007) 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 7 a)) and the debt of $1,732,125 for a capital payment related to the debt of $43,000,000 (Note 7d)).

48 | ANNUAL REPORT 07 – 08 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.

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.

14. Collection of the Museum In its mission to attract the widest possible range of visitors, the Museum has, over the last 147 years or so of its existence, assembled one of the most significant and eclectic 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 3).

Restoration costs during the year amounted to approximately $506,665 ($417,791 in 2007).

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, 2008 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, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

ANNUAL REPORT 07 – 08 | 53 NOTES to financial statements year ended March 31, 2008

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. Changes in accounting policies Financial instruments The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued new Handbook sections on financial instruments, Section 3855 and Section 3861. Section 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, addresses when financial instruments should be recognized and how they should be measured. Section 3861, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation, provides standards for how financial instruments should be classified on financial statements and disclosure requirements.

The Foundation has adopted both Sections retroactively as of April 1, 2007, without restatement of prior years. As a result of adopting these new Sections, the Foundation recorded an increase of $4,297,784 to investments and net assets reflecting the change in accounting for the investments classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value rather than cost or fair value assigned at the time of the donation.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and their subsequent measurement is dependent on their classification described in Note 3.

3. Significant accounting policies 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 H held for trading Accounts receivable Loans and receivables Investments Available-for-sale Due to the Museum Other liabilities

54 | ANNUAL REPORT 07 – 08 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 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 Financial instruments In December 2006, the CICA issued Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures; Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation. Both Sections will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. Accordingly, the Foundation will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. Section 3862 on financial instruments disclosures requires the disclosure of information about: a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity’s financial position and performance and b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and how the entity manages those risks. Section 3863 on the presentation of financial instruments establishes standards for the presentation of financial instruments is unchanged from the presentation included in Section 3861.

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

Investment management fees and safekeeping charges amount to $116,795 ($123,842 in 2007) and are presented as a decrease in investment revenue.

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

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 $371,592 ($464,809 in 2007).

6. Financial instruments Interest rate risk The bonds included in the Bond Pooled Fund bear fixed interest rates. Consequently, a variation of the market rate will have an effect on the fair value of investments in the Bond Pooled Fund.

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 cash, accounts receivable and due to the Museum is approximately equal to their carrying values due to their short-term maturity.

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