FEI CANADA 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO AND THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FEI Canada is striving to improve the value of your • membership. Our volunteer leadership and staff is hard at work learning how to best meet and exceed the needs of members and prospective members.

Like many other professional associations, FEI Canada is challenged with changing demographics, triggered in part by the increase in retirement of baby boomers and changes in how we interact with our peers. In order to maintain and expand our membership, we must continue to adapt to a changing generation of financial leaders. We are tackling this issue by consulting with our members, prospective members and experts.

Thanks to all of you who participated in our spring membership survey. When we pored over the results, • we wanted to understand what you felt was the greatest value of an FEI Canada membership, and what you thought encouraged your peers to join and to stay members. To help us, we engaged a business school to do a market research study. They undertook one-on-one interviews with members and prospective members , and the insights they gleaned helped us better understand the motivations of Canadian financial executives.

Observations from the market research confirmed that members were looking for various things that we have already incorporated into our strategic initiatives: •

/2

Networking, combined with professional development (PD): Members value networking with their peers, especially if it goes beyond a mere cocktail party chat and involves the sharing of work experiences that will help members solve challenges or further their career. FEI Canada will be organizing more roundtable events to trigger such helpful sharing. Feedback from a participant in one of our CFERF Executive Research Forums was that this type of event was one of the most powerful peer learning experiences from which he has ever benefitted.

•

More programming on leadership and management issues: Consistent with trends that the CFO role is evolving into a position that is far more comprehensive in scope, members expressed an interest in non-traditional and “soft” skills. In response, more innovative programming will be introduced in the near future and leadership topics were added to the 2012 Annual Conference agenda. For those who were not able to make it to St. John’s in June, check out the video links that you will find in this report, including our CFO Leadership panel with the dynamic trio of Tim Hortons’ CFO Cynthia Devine, PCL’s EVP Gord Maron and prominent Newfoundland business leader Jo Mark Zurel.

Organizing members by Communities of Interest Networks (“COINs”): Many members want more interaction with those in their industry, sector or other community of interest. While FEI Canada’s current member grouping by geography is convenient for inperson meetings, we foresee using the COIN concept for breakout discussions at certain live events as well as virtual connections (LinkedIn groups), webinars and teleconference discussions. Our first COIN was launched recently when the Private Company Roundtable was formed to provide private company members with a forum to exchange their business ideas and concerns.

Personalized new member recruitment, on-boarding and mentorship: Many new and prospective members have indicated they’d like their more experienced peers to personally welcome them into our organization and show them the ropes. Some would even like to be mentored by our more senior members. As we are quite a large organization, we would love to hear from those members who would be willing to act as mentors or as hosts at chapter meetings.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO AND THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our prospects for continued success are enhanced by the dedication of our volunteer leadership and staff, and we thank all who have contributed and continue to contribute to the advancement of FEI Canada’s strategic goals for their efforts and enthusiasm.

This interactive annual report highlights various accomplishments over the past year that was made possible by these efforts.

Michael Conway(L) thanks Ray Hawrelak (R) for his time as FEI Canada Chair

These highlights include: •

The celebration of the 10th anniversary milestone of • Canada’s CFO of the Year™ Award, marking a decade of providing much-deserved recognition of our country’s CFOs.

As a result of our advocacy efforts, the issue of tax simplification is gaining legs. We thank the many hard-working members of our technical committees, including our tax task force chaired by Peter Effer.

•

Our research institute, CFERF, has become selfsustaining and continues to produce high-quality research studies that members appreciate. These have attracted increased media attention, reaching a broader audience of financial leaders through publications such as Canadian Treasurer, Corporate Risk and various business and finance newspapers.

Many members commented on the high-quality of content and jovial atmosphere at our annual conference, held this year in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

•

In closing, we would like to invite you to email us (mconway@feicanada.org) to let us know how we can better serve you.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FEI Canada reported an excess of expenses over revenues of $158,797 for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to a profit of $201,929 a year ago. Excluding the impact of the expense of the closed Pension Plan for past employees, the excess of expenses over revenues would have been $9,138 for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to a profit of $120,778 a year ago. Most of this Pension Expense relates to the mark-to-market adjustment of its investment portfolio and a decrease in the discount rate used in the actuarial liability calculation.

REVENUES

Revenues decreased $324,000 or 14% from a year ago, to $2,021,000. Event revenue decreased $270,000, due to lower registration and sponsorship revenues from our annual conference (down $184,000) and a drop in the number of webinars and breakfast seminars ($86,000). Membership dues and fees decreased $50,000, stemming from a decline in membership this year. While the number of strategic partnerships was unchanged this year, these
