AUDITORS' REPORT To the Members of Doctors Without Borders Canada/ Médecins Sans Frontières Canada
We have audited the statement of financial position of Doctors Without Borders Canada/Médecins Sans Frontières Canada as at December 31, 2007 and the statements of operations, changes in net assets 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 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 Organization as at December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. As required by the Canada Corporations Act, we report that, in our opinion, except for the change in the method of valuing investments as explained in note 1 to the financial statements, these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS CANADA/ MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES CANADA Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2007
Doctors Without Borders Canada/Médecins Sans Frontières Canada ("MSF Canada") actively commenced operations on January 1, 1992. MSF Canada offers assistance to populations in distress, victims of natural or man-made disasters and victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, creed or political affiliation. MSF Canada is a registered charity under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, while registered, is exempt from income taxes. 1.
Significant accounting policies: These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows: (a) Financial instruments: Effective January 1, 2007, MSF Canada adopted The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants' ("CICA") Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, and Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation. These new handbook sections provide comprehensive requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. These accounting policy changes were adopted on a prospective basis with no restatement of prior period financial statements. Under the new recognition and measurement standard, all financial instruments are classified as either held-for-trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale or other financial liabilities. Financial instruments classified as held-fortrading are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations. Financial instruments classified as held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, and other liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Financial instruments classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of changes in net assets. Upon adoption of this new standard, MSF Canada designated its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value, accounts receivable as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. The adoption of this accounting standard had no material effect on the presentation of MSF Canada's financial statements. 5

1.
Significant accounting policies (continued): (b) Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. (c) Capital assets: Capital assets consist of office equipment and leasehold improvements. These costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis using an estimated useful life of three years. (d) Revenue recognition: MSF Canada follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Unrestricted contributions are recognized when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Donations are recognized on a cash basis since pledges are not legally enforceable claims. Externally restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Interest income is recognized as revenue on an accrual basis. (e) Contributed materials and services: Doctors and other volunteers contribute a significant amount of time in support of MSF Canada. As this time cannot be easily valued, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements. Contributed materials are also not recognized. (f) Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Future accounting standards: The CICA has issued several new standards which are effective for MSF Canada for the reporting period beginning on January 1, 2008. The following accounting standards relate to financial instruments: Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation. These new standards revise and enhance the current disclosure requirements but do not change the existing presentation requirements for financial instruments. The new disclosures will provide additional information on the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which MSF Canada is exposed and how it manages these risks.

Fair values of financial instruments: The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair values of investments are based on quoted market values, as disclosed in note 4.
10.
Canadian International Development Agency: MSF Canada solicits funds for projects being undertaken by MSF worldwide from Canadian International Development Agency ("CIDA"). CIDA funds a number of these projects and grants the funding to MSF Canada. MSF Canada retains 5% (2006 - 5%) of the CIDA funds to cover its project coordination, administration and overhead costs. MSF Canada enters into an agency agreement with the operational MSF section that will carry out the project and passes on the CIDA funds to that section. At the conclusion of the project, the operational section accounts for the funds to MSF Canada. MSF Canada reviews these accounts and presents them to CIDA. To the extent that the funds are not fully spent, they are returned by the operational section to MSF Canada and by MSF Canada to CIDA.
