[Original signed by Dr. Kevin Nagel] Kevin Nagel, PhD, ICD.D President & CEO December 14, 2015 [Original signed by Alnoor Aziz] Alnoor Aziz Acting, Chief Financial Officer December 14, 2015 2 MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR Dear Friends, In spite of the challenges that the new economic environment has posed, the Board remains committed to our three institutional goals: Enhance the student experience, Pursue academic excellence, and, Advance institutional sustainability. Fostering strong relationships within our community has always been important for Keyano. The collaborations and partnerships that we have established help us deliver an enhanced mix of programs and services uniquely tailored to the needs of our region. This focus helps us become a more relevant and valued institution. Over the past year, Keyano has continued to work with its industry and community partners to ensure students across our region have improved access to high quality education and training. The acquisition of mobile simulators through funding jointly provided by Western Economic Diversification Canada (WEDC) and industry is one example of such an improvement. The simulators will enable Keyano to train Aboriginal and rural students locally for careers in Heavy Equipment Operation. Keyano is also involved in the establishment of a learning provider network for Basic Safety Orientation, which is required for workers to access oil sands sites. In this regard, Keyano has engaged with other post-secondary education institutions and training providers to harmonize safety training curriculum, and, to facilitate the improved efficiency and effectiveness of safety training delivery. Keyano’s plan for the future includes enhancing its infrastructure which will enable its growth as both an educational and cultural centre. This past year, we continued to move forward with our plan to construct a new student residence on the Clearwater Campus. In addition, many spaces across the College were revitalized as part of our commitment to provide welcoming facilities that support excellence in both teaching and learning. We also worked with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo on external funding plans to expand the Keyano Theatre, which, included the Municipality’s approval of $10 million in grant funding for the project. Every year I am struck by our community’s commitment to provide each and every student with an excellent educational experience. Thanks to all students, staff, faculty, administration and community stakeholders for your continued support and efforts to make Keyano College a great place to learn. Sincerely, [Original signed by Kara Flynn] Kara Flynn Chair, Board of Governors 3 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO Dear Community Members, The 2014/15 academic year brought with it both challenge and change. Declining revenues required us to focus on collaboration to meet the needs of our community and to fine-tune our operations as we adjust to our new fiscal reality. Collaboration enables us to increase the reach and relevance of our programming while ensuring that our students have access to quality education in their communities. In February, Keyano signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Alberta to deliver a Collaborative Degree in Elementary Education. Through a similar collaborative arrangement with NAIT, students will also now be able to complete all four years of a degree in Business Administration at Keyano beginning in the 2015/16 academic year. In an effort to realize efficiencies through technology, we launched an employee self-serve Human Resources portal while also assessing the efficacy of introducing an electronic ticketing system for our Facilities department. Additionally, we worked throughout the year to update our policies and procedures, and to provide a new interface for employees to view these documents. By consulting with our student body, we secured input with respect to our Comprehensive Institutional Plan, and, revised our Student Code of Conduct and Student Rights policy. Cultural initiatives included presenting a successful Four Play Theatre series and a new youth camp focused on the arts. Our Foundation Team hosted our annual Gala fundraiser which attracted more than twelve hundred guests in support of scholarships, programming, athletics and infrastructure improvements. Our One-on-One fundraiser also welcomed six NHL Hall of Famers to our community. Our athletic department enjoyed another successful season in 2014/15. Our Men’s Soccer team took gold at the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) Championships and Keyano represented the ACAC at the 2015 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Men’s Soccer Championships. We also hosted two ACAC Championships in Men’s Basketball and Cross-Country. Our Men’s Hockey team finished in the top four in ACAC competition, and our Men’s Futsal team won ACAC gold for the third consecutive year! Four Husky athletes were also recognized with an Academic All-Canadian Award. We are fortunate to be part of a supportive community and we appreciate the resources, time, and commitment of our partners over the past year. We are also grateful for the dedication of our staff, faculty and administrative teams as they strive to make Keyano College the very best educational and training experience possible. Sincerely, [Original signed by Kevin Nagel] Kevin Nagel, PhD, ICD.D President & CEO, Keyano College 4 AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS STUDENT AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Keyano prides itself on supporting students in their pursuit of excellence in academics, athletics and community leadership.

This project, which is also supported by the Keyano College Foundation and industry partner Syncrude Canada Ltd., will allow Aboriginal students in rural communities to pursue training and skills development within their home communities. Acuren Group Inc. Named as Keyano’s Partner of the Year The Acuren Group is a major service provider of inspection, testing services and shutdown maintenance in the Athabasca oil sands region. Over the past seven years, Acuren has increased their involvement in both Keyano College and the Keyano College Foundation. In 2014, they invested in the development of the ACUtech NonDestructive Testing Program, made a three-year pledge to support the Foundation’s annual events, created three new student awards, and maintained season sponsorship of the Keyano College Men’s Hockey Program. Program Launches, Alignment and MOUs Keyano College’s School of Career & Education Access is now offering a Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) Processing Certificate on-line. The universally accessible on-line program provides students with an in depth understanding of one of the oil sands most popular methods of bitumen recovery. Ongoing program alignment initiatives and local economic conditions resulted in the suspension of some low enrollment programs in 2015/16 including the Office Administration Diploma, the Fitness Leadership and Movement Diploma and the Early Learning and Childcare Diploma amongst others. Keyano’s revised program mix includes the continuation of collaborative degrees in the areas of education and nursing, and will include new opportunities in business and environmental science. Mobile training options will be made available across the region for select occupational programs. This comprehensive programming approach is designed to provide Keyano students with the best opportunities for employment while supporting regional economic development and a sustainable community. Keyano College and the University of Alberta signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deliver a Collaborative Degree in Elementary Education.

Stretching from north-central Alberta to the borders of Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories, Wood Buffalo is one of the largest municipalities in Canada. Established as the Alberta Vocational Centre in 1965, the institution changed its name to Keyano (a Cree word for “sharing”) College 10 years later. In 1978 Keyano completed its transformation into a community college with the appointment of its first Board of Governors. Over the years, Keyano’s programs and services have grown with the community, reflecting the changing demands and interests of the region, its broadening multicultural orientation, and constantly changing technologies. Throughout this time, Keyano has proactively positioned itself as a community builder meeting both the training and skills acquisition needs of industry, and the personal enrichment and cultural needs of the Wood Buffalo community. Keyano provides opportunities for lifelong, relevant and practical learning and is committed to increasing access to post-secondary programs. Keyano served 3,082 distinct credit students in 2014/15 through campuses in Fort McMurray, and Fort Chipewyan and through our Learning Centres in Fort McKay, Gregoire Lake, Conklin and Janvier. The College offers programs that lead to certificates, diplomas, certificates of qualification (trades), and baccalaureate degrees. The College also supports the development of professional knowledge and skills in several sectors, including energy, construction, business, health and safety, arts, sciences, education, human services, and transportation. A wide range of corporate training options are available to client companies. Keyano’s growth reflects that of Wood Buffalo, and the development of Canada’s largest energy resource, the Athabasca Oil Sands. Recent economic developments have resulted in a slowdown in the oil and gas industry and in activity in the region. There have been significant job losses in the oil and gas sector and related industries over the past six months. In June of 2015, Alberta’s unemployment rate stood at six per cent, and the unemployment rate in the Wood Buffalo-Cold Lake region had jumped to over seven and a half per cent from just over five per cent in 2014.3 Oil and gas industry expenditure in the region is expected to decrease by $31 billion by the end of 2015.4 The most immediate and obvious impact of the current downturn is being felt by Keyano’s corporate training and continuing education department, and those programs delivered in partnership with industry. Despite the inevitable scale back in activity, Keyano remains committed to the relationships it has developed with business and industry and will work with partners old and new to support economic recovery and development in the region. Likewise, the College is proud of its role as a cultural centre and will continue to provide arts, cultural and recreational experiences. As always, the College works with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and regional School Boards to ensure a collaborative approach to programming and the presentation of cultural events. New adult learning programming, which is being introduced in rural communities, is expected to bring more people into the College to take part in a variety of activities that contribute to enriched lives. In particular, Keyano is preparing for expanded community-based programming in Fort Chipewyan. In light of the economic downturn, a review of program enrollment was undertaken in 2014/15 and some lowenrollment programs were suspended. The College worked closely with the Government of Alberta when determining changes to the program mix. Beginning in the first semester of 2015/16, the College will work with the community and other stakeholders to identify and, where possible, develop fiscally sustainable models of delivery for key programs. 3 4 Statistics Canada, Labour Force Characteristics, http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/lfss01c-eng.htm Enform, http://www.enform.ca/news/news.cfm?releasePage=051920159162 12 MANDATE Keyano College is a public, board-governed college operating as a Comprehensive Community Institution under the authority of the Post-Secondary Learning Act of Alberta.

This collaboration will allow Keyano to train Aboriginal students for careers as Heavy Equipment Operators within their home communities. Designed and managed three projects in 2014/15 in partnership with government, industry and Aboriginal communities: Four week hospitality training course to prepare at-risk Aboriginals for work at the new Sawridge Hotel in Fort McMurray Fort McMurray First Nation #486 Community Improvement – 12 week life skills and construction craft project Mikisew Cree First Nation Occupation and Trades – 13 week project to deliver GED+ in Fort Chipewyan 51 ENROLLEMENT PLAN COMPARISON OF PROJECTIONS TO ACTUALS 2014/15 The 2014/15 Comprehensive Institutional Plan (CIP) projected total FLEs at 1,463.6. Actual FLEs were 1,317.5, representing a variance of -146.1 FLEs. In general, enrollment has been negatively impacted by changes in the economy. Trades and Technologies FLEs are lower by 60 FLEs, reflecting the recent downturn in employment in the sector as the low oil price impacts activity in the oil sands. Preparatory and Basic Upgrading registrations were also significantly lower than anticipated – FLE’s in this band were 76 lower than planned. A decline in funding for Aboriginal students in rural communities, one of Kayano’s largest markets for upgrading programs, may have resulted in fewer applications and registrations from this group. Additionally, the lack of interest in pre-employment programming led to the cancellation of planned sections. Enrollment projections made in 2013 for the 2014/15 CIP were predicated on economic data that suggested the oil sands boom, and accordingly high demand for skilled trades, professions, and support service personnel in the Wood Buffalo region, would continue over the medium to long-term. Therefore, strong growth in enrollment was expected. While that growth did not materialize, Keyano’s enrollment has remained relatively steady despite the economic situation and FLE actuals for 2014/15 are not significantly different from the previous year, with 1,384 FLEs in 2013/14 and 1,317 FLEs in 2014/15. Below is a comparison for 2014/15 of projections, from the 2014/15 CIP, to actuals, by program band. Comparison of 2014/15 FLEs, Projections to Actuals, by Program Band CIP Projection 2014/15 Actuals 2014/15 Variance Health Sciences Trades & Technologies Languages, Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities Business Education Preparatory & Basic Upgrading Recreation Physical, Natural & Applied Sciences Total FLEs (without collaborative FLEs) 144.4 511.3 150.6 194.0 62.0 282.3 10.0 109.0 1,463.6 141.4 451.7 166.3 188.4 67.0 206.7 6.8 89.2 1317.5 -3.0 -59.6 15.7 -5.6 5.0 -75.6 -3.2 -19.8 -146.1 Collaborative FLEs - estimated Total FLEs 41 1,504.6 34 1351.5 -7.0 -153.1 Program Band FLEs FROM INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS International student FLEs were not projected in the 2014/15 CIP. Current actuals for 2014/15 are 61 FLEs. Going forward, Keyano College projects 60 international student FLEs in 2015/16. FLEs FROM COLLABORATIVE CREDENTIALS Through collaborative programming with other institutions, Keyano helped educate an estimated 34 FLEs in 2014/15. This includes year 4 of the Nursing Degree and year 4 of the Bachelor of Education. 52 FINANCIAL AND BUDGET INFORMATION Financial and budget information should be read in conjunction with the Keyano College (the “College”) annual audited consolidated financial statements (see Appendix A).

Sales of services and products Decreased by $3.2 million over prior year due to: Prior year included one-time insurance proceeds of $1.1 million. Bookstore sales decreased by $124,000 due to students switching to online purchasing of books directly from vendors. Discontinuation of corporate recruitment program as the program was outside the scope of College’s mandate resulting in decrease of revenues of $686,000. Housing revenues decreased by $533,000 due to maintenance work (units had to be vacant). Prior year included sales of School of Trades old asset disposals in the amount of $709,000. Parking revenue decreased by $103,000 due to less demand for commercial parking lots. Student tuition and fees Decreased by $2.1 million over prior year due to: Credit tuition fees decreased by $207,000, which is mostly due to lower enrollment in various programs. Non-credit tuition revenue decreased by $1 million due to lower enrollment in the following programs: OH&S, Asset Planning Certificate, Computer Training, Testing Services, Haul Truck and Safety Training. Testing fees revenue decreased by $218,000 due to lower enrollment in Testing Services and Welding recertification programs. Corporate Training revenue decreased by $499,000 due to decline in industry and cancellation of programs.

Accumulated gains were paid out and reinvested, which resulted in a net gain. Investment earnings (loss) in government business enterprise Investment earnings decreased by $1.5 million due to additional work performed for grounds maintenance, surveying, cleaning lots and organizing lease rentals. 56 EXPENSES COMPARISON WITH PRIOR YEAR AND BUDGET: Expense by Function $ millions Budget 2015 2014 * During the 2014/15 fiscal year, Keyano College reclassified budgeted amounts in Government of Alberta & Federal grants and Institutional support and Ancillary services. There is no impact to overall revenues and expenses of budgeted operating surplus. Specifically the categories that have changed are: (i) $218,000 was reclassified from Federal & Other Government Grants to Government of Alberta grants and (ii) $100,000 of budgeted parking expense was reclassified from Institutional Support to Ancillary Services. Total expenses increased by $2.7 million over prior year explained by: Salaries and benefits Salaries and benefits expenses increased by $4.6 million over prior year due to severance payouts as part of cutbacks and operational efficiencies; Faculty and CUPE salary increases during the year and filling of critical positions throughout the year. Accrual for SERP was reversed in the amount of $204,000 in the current year. Materials, supplies and services Decreased by $2.1 million over prior year due to: Service contracts expenses decreased by $1.2 million primarily due to filling critical positions reducing the need for external contractors. Legal, audit and insurance expenses increased by $206,000 due to increase in insurance premiums after SSWC flood. Instructional expenses increased by $419,000 due to School of Trades instructional equipment rental to run various programs and collaborative brokerage fees paid to University of Alberta for Bachelor of Education program. Purchase of sports team uniforms in the current year in the amount of $190,000. Facilities and grounds expenses decreased by $2.2 million due to cutbacks and operational efficiencies. Some maintenance projects were cancelled due to the College’s revenue reductions. 57 As Power and Process Lab was deemed complete in prior year, the interest on long term debt has to be expensed going forward as per accounting conventions therefore the increase is in the amount of $437,000. Cost of Goods Sold Actual expenses decreased by $824,000 over prior year due to: Discontinuation of corporate recruitment program resulted in decrease of cost of goods sold of $609,000. Bookstore cost of goods sold decreased by $148,000 due to decrease in sales. Other decreases in various programs totalling $67,000. Amortization of capital assets Amortization expense is higher by $1 million over prior year primarily due to first full year capitalization of Power and Process Lab. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES The total capital spending for the year was $6.9 million. The breakdown is as follows: Externally funded capital expenditures Operating type capital expenditures Expansion type capital expenditures $2.1 million $2.3 million $2.5 million Expansion type capital expenditures, which were internally funded, comprise of: Heart of Campus Campus Master Plan Doug McRae Student Housing Power and Process Lab $619,000 $86,000 $899,000 $930,000 AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL RISK The College has advanced a $13.9 million interest-bearing loan (2.8%) with no set repayment plan to Keyano College Land Trust. On June 26, 2015, the College entered into a signed agreement with the Land Trust that set the terms of repayment to principal amount upon demand by the College. The advances are to bear interest at a rate not to exceed the expedited rate of return set by the investment policy of the College. A repayment plan will be set once lot development resumes and sales occur. Repayments have been postponed. Due to the economic climate in Fort McMurray, the lot development activity of Keyano College Land Trust has been deferred for 18 months or until market conditions improve. 58 INTERNATIONALIZATION While Keyano College welcomes international students, the College is not actively pursuing an internationalization strategy and does not intend to offer programs outside of Canada. In 2014/15 the College hosted 82 international students from 27 countries. Keyano’s international student tuition fee policy is cost recovery. At the same time, Keyano continues to attract international student athletes through a progressive, achievementfocused tuition bursary, which has seen steady growth in the six years it has been offered. With an initial three student athletes in the first year of the program (2010/11), the 2014/15 academic year saw a total of 18 students across four sports teams. Huskies Athletics welcomes international students from Poland, Brazil, Australia, Kenya, Turkey, Ireland, Nigeria and the United States. The international reach of our athletic recruiting contributes to the strength of our athletic programs, and enriches the Keyano campus community in particular, and the Wood Buffalo region as a whole. The Alberta College’s Athletic Conference (ACAC) named international student Pedro Bianchi, a leader on the Keyano Huskies Futsal team, the 2014/15 Male Futsal Player of the Year. 59 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Keyano’s information technology (IT) strategy is organized into four technology portfolios – technology infrastructure, education technology, information systems and web presence. Plans are in place in each of these areas to upgrade, replace or enhance services as needed to support achievement of the College’s goals and strategic priorities.

A business plan has been developed and a $10 million capital campaign plan initiated. $1.4 million has been pledged to date. In July 2015, the municipality voted to provide a $10 million grant towards the Theatre expansion. This is a four-part project including repairs/ replacement to the central Heating Plan, emergency back-up, motor control centres and the heating and cooling systems. A consultant was hired to perform an in-depth review of the heating and cooling system and make a recommendation for replacement or upgrade. An RFP has been released to perform an inspection / maintenance of the motor control centres and emergency backup systems. This project with recommendations for moving forward will be completed in 2015/16. 62 APPENDICES 63 Audited Financial Statements KEYANO COLLEGE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY The consolidated financial statements of Keyano College have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards. The consolidated financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position of the College as at June 30, 2015 and the consolidated results of its operations for the year then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required. In fulfilling its responsibilities and recognizing the limits inherent in all systems, management has developed and maintains a system of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that College assets are safeguarded from loss and that the accounting records are a reliable basis for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Board of Governors is responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements, and overseeing management's performance of its financial reporting responsibilities. The Board of Governors carries out its responsibility for review of the consolidated financial statements principally through its Audit Committee. With the exception of the President, all members of the Audit Committee are not employees of the College. The Audit Committee meets with management and the external auditors to discuss the results of audit examinations and financial reporting matters. The external auditors have full access to the Audit Committee, with and without the presence of management. These consolidated financial statements have been reported on by the Auditor General of the Province of Alberta, the auditor appointed under the Post-Secondary Learning Act. The Independent Auditor's Report outlines the scope of the audit and provides the audit opinion on the fairness of presentation of the information in the consolidated financial statements. _____________________________ Acting, Chief Financial Officer ____________________________ President & CEO 64 2014 2015 ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents (Note 4) Portfolio investments (Note 5) Accounts receivable (Note 7) (Note 22) Loan receivable (Note 8) Inventories and prepaid expenses Tangible capital assets (Note 9) Investment in and advances to government business enterprise (Note 10) $ $ LIABILITIES Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Debt (Note 12) Deferred revenue (Note 13) $ NET ASSETS Endowments (Note 14) Accumulated operating surplus (Note 15) Accumulated remeasurement gains (Note 5) $ $ 1,949,947 18,933,964 3,518,184 456,414 722,304 118,894,154 13,873,239 158,348,206 7,432,942 22,964,523 81,744,730 112,142,195 4,483,551 40,430,325 1,292,135 46,206,011 158,348,206 $ $ $ $ $ 7,804,160 19,166,134 6,832,779 655,834 117,922,692 14,100,765 166,482,364 7,780,980 24,334,922 84,041,089 116,156,991 4,243,762 43,819,170 2,262,441 50,325,373 166,482,364 Contingent liabilities, contractual obligations and subsequent event (Note 17) and (Note 18).

Authority and Purpose The Board of Governors of Keyano College is a corporation which manages and operates Keyano College (“the College”) under the Post‑ Secondary Learning Act (Alberta). All members of the Board of Governors are appointed by either the Lieutenant Governor in Council or the Minister of Advanced Education, with the exception of the Chancellor and President, who are ex officio members. Under the Post‑ Secondary Learning Act, Campus Alberta Sector Regulation, the College is a comprehensive community institution offering mandated credentials and programs. The College is a registered charity, and under section 149 of the Income Tax Act (Canada), is exempt from the payment of income tax. This tax exemption does not extend to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Keyano College Land Trust Corporation (the "Land Trust"). 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Reporting Practices a. General ‑ Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS) and Use of Estimates These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with PSAS. The measurement of certain assets and liabilities is contingent upon future events; therefore, the preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates, which may vary from actual results. The College’s management uses judgment to determine such estimates. Restricted expended capital recognized as revenue along with collectability of accounts receivable and amortization of tangible capital assets are considered the most significant items based on estimates. In management’s opinion, the resulting estimates are within reasonable limits of materiality and are in accordance with the significant accounting policies summarized below. These significant accounting policies are presented to assist the reader in evaluating these consolidated financial statements and, together with the following notes, should be considered an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. b. Non-Use of Net Debt Model Presentation PSAS require a net debt presentation for the consolidated statement of financial position in the summary financial statements of governments. Net debt presentation reports the difference between financial assets and liabilities as net debt or net financial assets as an indicator of future revenues required to pay for past transactions and events. The College operates within the government reporting entity, and does not finance all its expenditures by independently raising revenues. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not report a net debt indicator. c. Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities The College’s financial assets and liabilities are generally measured as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Amortized cost Portfolio investments Fair value Accounts receivable Amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Debt Amortized cost Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of unrestricted financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of remeasurement gains and losses. Upon settlement, the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from the consolidated statement of remeasurement gains and losses and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of restricted financial instruments are recognized as a liability under deferred revenue or endowments. All financial assets are tested annually for impairment. When financial assets are impaired, impairment losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. A write‑ down of a portfolio investment to reflect a loss in value is not reversed for a subsequent increase in value. For financial instruments measured using amortized cost, the effective interest rate method is used to determine interest revenue or expense. Transaction costs are a component of cost for financial instruments measured using cost or amortized cost. Transaction costs are expensed for financial instruments measured at fair value. The College does not use foreign currency contracts or any other type of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Management evaluates contractual obligations for the existence of embedded derivatives and elects to either designate the entire contract for fair value measurement or separately measure the value of the derivative component when characteristics of the derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the contract itself. Contracts to buy or sell non‑ financial items for the College’s normal purchase, sale or usage requirements are not recognized as financial assets or liabilities. The College does not have any embedded derivatives. 68 d. Revenue Recognition All revenues are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Cash received for which goods or services have not been provided by year end is recorded as deferred revenue. i. Government grants, non-government grants and donations The College recognizes government grants, donations and other contributions as follows: Government transfers Government transfers are referred to as government grants. Government transfers and the associated externally restricted investment income are recorded as deferred revenue if the terms for use of the transfer, or the terms along with the College’s actions and communications as to the use of the transfer, create a liability. These transfers are recognized as revenue as the terms are met and, when applicable, the College complies with its communicated use of the transfer. Government transfers without terms for the use of the transfer are recorded as revenue when the College is eligible to receive the funds. Donations and non-government contributions Donations and non-government contributions are received from individuals, corporations, and private sector not‑ for‑ profit organizations. Donations and non-government contributions may be unrestricted or restricted for operating or capital purposes or research purposes. Unrestricted donations and non-government contributions are recorded as revenue in the year received or in the year the funds are committed to the College if the amount can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Restricted donations, non-government contributions, realized and unrealized gains and losses for the associated externally restricted investment income are recorded as deferred revenue if the terms for their use, or the terms along with the College’s actions and communications as to the use, create a liability. These resources are recognized as revenue as the terms are met and, when applicable, the College complies with its communicated use. If the restricted donations are used to acquire or construct tangible capital assets, revenue will be recognized over the useful life of the tangible capital assets. In-kind donations of services and materials are recorded at fair value when such value can be reasonably determined. While volunteers as well as College staff contribute a significant amount of time each year to assist the College in carrying out its mission, the value of their services are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements because fair value cannot be reasonably determined. Gift-in-kind donations recognized as revenues and expenses on the consolidated statement of operations is $930,424 (2014 - $1,085,839). ii. Endowments Donations that must be maintained in perpetuity are recognized as a direct increase in endowment net assets when received. Investment income and unrealized gains and losses attributable to restricted portfolio investments are recognized as deferred revenue. iii. Investment income Investment income includes dividend and interest income, and realized gains or losses on the sale of portfolio investments. Unrealized gains and losses on portfolio investments that are from unrestricted grants and donations are recognized in the consolidated statement of remeasurement gains and losses until settlement. Once realized, these gains or losses are recognized as investment income in the consolidated statement of operations. Investment income from restricted grants and donations is recognized as deferred revenue when the terms for use create a liability, and is recognized as investment income when the terms of the grant or donation are met. e. Inventories Inventories held for resale are valued at the lower of cost and expected net realizable value and are determined using the first‑ in, first‑ out (FIFO) method. Inventories held for consumption are valued at cost. f. Tangible Capital Assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost, which includes amounts that are directly related to the acquisition, design, construction, development, improvement or betterment of the assets. Cost includes overhead directly attributable to construction and development, as well as interest costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the asset. Work in progress, which includes facilities and improvement projects and development of information systems, is not amortized until after the project is complete and the asset is in service. Capital lease obligations are recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments excluding executor costs (e.g. insurance, maintenance costs, etc.). The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the lower of the College’s rate for incremental borrowing or the interest rate implicit in the lease. The cost, less residual value, of the tangible capital assets, excluding land, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows: 69 Land improvements Buildings and renovations Equipment Other Computer hardware and software 20-40 years 10-40 years 5-25 years 5-25 years 3-15 years Tangible capital assets are written down when conditions indicate that they no longer contribute to the College’s ability to provide goods and services, or when the value of future economic benefits associated with the tangible capital assets are less than their net book value. The net write-downs are accounted for as expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Contributed tangible capital assets are recorded at their fair market value on the date of donation, except in circumstances where fair value cannot be reasonably determined, which are then recognized at nominal value. Transfers of tangible capital assets from related parties are recorded at the carrying value. The College holds a number of cultural and historical properties and treasures. Due to the subjective nature of these assets they are not included in the values shown on the consolidated financial statements. g. Foreign Currency Translation Financial assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at the year‑ end exchange rate. Revenues and expenses are translated at average weekly exchange rates. In the period of settlement realized gains or losses from these translations are included in investment income. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of remeasurement gains and losses. h. Employee Future Benefits i. Pension The College participates with other employers in the Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP). This pension plan is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plans that provide pensions for the College’s participating employees based on years of service and earnings. The College does not have sufficient plan information on the LAPP to follow the standards for defined benefit accounting, and therefore follows the standards for defined contribution accounting. Accordingly, pension expense recorded for the LAPP is comprised of employer contributions to the plan that are required for its employees during the year, which are calculated based on actuarially pre-determined amounts that are expected to provide the plan’s future benefits. i. Basis of Consolidation Consolidated entities The consolidated financial statements consolidate the accounts of Keyano College Foundation (the "Foundation") on a line-by-line basis. The Foundation is a registered public foundation created to solicit, receive and administer funds and property donated for the advancement of Keyano College. Investment in Keyano College Land Trust The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Keyano College Land Trust (the "Land Trust") using the modified equity method of accounting. The purpose of Keyano College Land Trust is to maximize the value of specific College lands through development, sales and leases for purposes aligned with College needs. j. Funds and Reserves Certain amounts, as approved by the Board of Governors, are set aside in accumulated surplus for future operating and capital purposes. Transfers to/from funds and reserves are an adjustment to the respective fund when approved. k. Expense by function The College uses the following categories of functions in its statement of operations: Instruction and training Expenses directly related to the delivery of programming and training within the College, whether for credit or non-credit programs. 70 Academic and student support Expenses relating to activities directly supporting the academic functions of the College. This includes items such as libraries and galleries and expenses for Deans. Academic and student support also includes expenses for centralized functions that support individual students or groups of students. Facility operations and maintenance Expenses relating to maintenance and renewal of facilities that house the teaching, research and administrative activities within the College. These include utilities, facilities administration, building maintenance, custodial services, landscaping and grounds keeping, as well as major repairs and renovations. Institutional support Includes expenses for centralized College-wide administration including executive management, public relations, alumni relations and development, corporate insurance premiums, corporate finance, human resources, centralized and core computing, network and data communications. Ancillary services Expenses related to services and products provided to the College community and to external individuals and organizations. Services include the bookstore, parking, student residences and theatre. Fundraising expenses Expenses related to sales of services and products and donations and other contributions earned by the Keyano College Foundation. l. Future Accounting Changes In March 2015, the Public Sector Accounting Board issued PS 2200 Related party disclosures and PS 3420 Inter-entity transactions. In June 2015, the Public Sector Accounting Board issued PS 3210 Assets, PS 3320 Contingent Assets, PS 3380 Contractual rights, and PS 3430 Restructuring transactions. These accounting standards are effective for fiscal years on or after April 1, 2017, with the exception of PS 3430, which is effective for fiscal years starting on or after April 1, 2018. PS 2200 - Related party disclosures, defines a related party and identifies disclosures for related parties and related party transactions, including key management personnel and close family members. PS 3420 – Inter-entity transactions, establishes standards on how to account for and report transactions between public sector entities that comprise a government's reporting entity from both a provider and recipient perspective. PS 3210 – Assets, provides guidance for applying the definition of assets set out in PS 1000, financial statement concepts, and establishes general disclosure standards for assets. PS 3320 - Contingent assets, defines and establishes disclosure standards for contingent assets. PS 3380 - Contractual rights, defines and establishes disclosure standards on contractual rights. PS 3430 - Restructuring transactions, defines a restructuring transaction and establishes standards for recognizing and measuring assets and liabilities transferred in a restructuring transaction. Management is currently assessing the impact of these new standards on the consolidated financial statements. 3. Changes in Accounting Policies In June 2010, the Public Sector Accounting Board issued PS 3260 Liability for Contaminated Sites effective for fiscal years starting on or after April 1, 2014. Contaminated sites are a result of contamination being introduced into air, soil, water, or sediment of a chemical, organic, or radioactive material, or live organism that exceeds an environmental standard. The College adopted this accounting standard retroactively as of April 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not result in any adjustments to these consolidated financial statements. 4. Cash and Cash Equivalents 2015 Cash Money market funds and interest bearing saving accounts Restricted cash 2014 $ 980,693 917,579 $ 3,954,601 3,806,278 51,675 $ 1,949,947 43,281 $ 7,804,160 Cash equivalents include short-term investments with maturity less than three months from the date of acquisition. The Foundation has restricted assets which relate to a restricted casino bank account with external restrictions from Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. 71 5. Portfolio Investments The composition and fair value of portfolio investments are as follows: 2015 2014 Fair value: Money market funds, short-term notes, and treasury bills Canadian government and corporate bonds fund Canadian equity fund Foreign equity fund $ 1,760,330 $ 1,516,553 8,298,966 7,759,306 3,883,416 4,991,252 $ 18,933,964 4,045,037 5,845,238 $ 19,166,134 As at June 30, 2015, the terms to maturity of money market funds, short-term notes, treasury bills and Canadian government and corporate bonds range from 127 days to 9 years with annual market yields ranging from 1.3% to 3.6% (2014 - 1.5% to 4.2%). The investment portfolio includes internally and externally restricted funds of $17,173,634 (2014 - $17,649,582) that consist of endowments and other funds. The restricted endowment funds are part of this balance in the amount of $4,483,551 (2014 - $4,243,762) (Note 14). The following table provides a categorization of investments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the inputs in determining fair value are observable. 2015 Level 1 Portfolio investments at fair value: Money market funds, short-term notes, and treasury bills Canadian government and corporate bonds fund Canadian equity fund Foreign equity fund Total portfolio investments Level 2 Level 3 Total $ 1,760,330 $ - $ - $ 1,760,330 - 8,298,966 - 8,298,966 3,883,416 4,991,252 $ 10,634,998 $ 8,298,966 $ - 3,883,416 4,991,252 $ 18,933,964 2014 Level 1 Portfolio investments at fair value: Money market funds, short-term notes, and treasury bills Canadian government and corporate bonds fund Canadian equity fund Foreign equity fund Total portfolio investments Level 2 Level 3 Total $ 1,516,553 $ - $ - $ 1,516,553 - 7,759,306 - 7,759,306 4,045,037 5,845,238 $ 11,406,828 $ 7,759,306 $ - 4,045,037 5,845,238 $ 19,166,134 72 The fair value measurements are those derived from: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Market-based inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly as prices or indirectly derived from prices; Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data; assumptions are based on the best internal and external information available and are most suitable and appropriate based on the type of financial instrument being valued in order to establish what the transaction price would have been on the measurement date in an arm’s length transaction.

Financial Risk Management The College is exposed to a variety of financial risks, including market risks (price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. To manage these risks, the College invests in a diversified portfolio of investments that is guided by established investment policies that outline risk and return objectives. The long-term objective of the College’s investment policies is to achieve a long-term real rate of return in excess of fees and expenses and maintain the real value of the fund. The College is exposed to the following risks: Market risk The College is exposed to market risk - the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security, its issuer or general market factors affecting all securities. To manage this risk, the College has established an investment policy with a target mix that is diversified by asset class with individual issuer limits and is designed to achieve a long-term rate of return that in real terms equals or exceeds total endowment expenditures with an acceptable level of risk. The following details the College's portfolio sensitivity to a 5% (2014 - 5%) increase or decrease in the market prices. As at June 30, 2015, if market prices had a 5% (2014 - 5%) increase or decrease with all other variables held constant, the increase or decrease in investment income for the year would have been a total of $321,877 (2014 - $325,824). 73 Foreign currency risk The College is exposed to foreign exchange risk on investments that are denominated in foreign currencies and listed in portfolio investments at fair value in Canadian dollars. The College uses a recognized investment firm to manage portfolio investments. The investment firm may use a number of strategies to manage currency risk including but not limited to foreign currency forward contracts and other types of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. A change in the foreign currency exchange rate would result in the following impact to remeasurement gains and losses: 2015 Change of 5.0% Fair value Foreign equities predominately in US dollars Foreign equities predominately in Euros and UK Pounds 2014 Change of 5.0% $ 2,184,328 $ 109,216 $ 126,116 2,806,924 140,346 166,146 $ 4,991,252 $ 249,562 $ 292,262 Liquidity risk The College maintains a short-term line of credit that is designed to ensure that funds are available to meet current and forecasted financial requirements in the most cost effective manner. As at June 30, 2015, the College had committed borrowing facilities of $1,000,000 (2014 $1,000,000), none of which has been drawn. Credit risk The College is exposed to credit risk on investments arising from the potential failure of a counterparty, debtor and issuer to honor its contractual obligations. To manage the risk the College has established an investment policy with required minimum credit quality standards and issuer limits. The credit risk from accounts receivable is low as the majority of balances are due from government agencies and corporate sponsors. The credit risks on investments on bonds held are as follows: 2015 Credit rating AAA AA A BBB Not rated 2014 25.6% 13.6% 50.4% 9.9% 0.5% 100.0% 21.4% 24.5% 45.2% 7.6% 1.3% 100.0% Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk to the College’s earnings that arise from the fluctuations in interest rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. This risk is managed by investment policies that limit the term to maturity of certain fixed income securities that the College holds. Interest risk on the College’s debt is managed through fixed-risk agreements with Alberta Capital Finance Authority (Note 12). 7.

Loan receivable During the year, the College entered in the lease agreement with YMCA of Wood Buffalo by providing a renovated space. The College will charge YMCA of Wood Buffalo interest on the capital cost of completing the renovations at a rate of 2.92% per annum. The capital cost is to be repaid by YMCA of Wood Buffalo over a period of 15 years.

Investment In and Advances To Government Business Enterprise (Note 25) On July 4, 2013, the College transferred 611.04 acres of land development to the Land Trust with a cost base of $6,876,225. This transaction occurred outside the course of normal operations, and was measured at its carrying value. Included in sales of services and products is $750,000 (2014 - $750,000) in service fees related to cost recoveries from the Land Trust. The transaction occurred in the normal course of operations and was measured at the exchange amount. The exchange amount has been agreed to and established by the Land Trust and the College through a signed master service agreement. Advances to the Land Trust bear interest at 2.8% (2014 - 2.8%) (Note 19). On June 26, 2015, the College entered into a signed agreement with the Land Trust that set the terms of repayment to principal amount upon demand of the College. Until such demand is made, the Land Trust covenants and agrees to pay compounding interest monthly. The advances are to bear interest at a rate not to exceed the expected rate of return set by the investment policy of the College. A repayment plan will be set once lot development resumes and sales occur. Repayments have been postponed as part of the financing conditions between Royal Bank of Canada and the Land Trust (Note 17). Service agreement revenue, interest revenue and other advances are in the amount of $1,003,387 (2014 - $10,224,765) were non-cash transactions and have been excluded from the statement of cash flows. 76 The balance represents the investment in the Land Trust with the following breakdown: 2015 100 Class "A" common voting shares (1) Opening advances Advances Repayments Total advances to Keyano College Land Trust Opening accumulated investment earnings (loss) Current investment earnings (Note 25) Total accumulated earnings 2014 $ 10 12,588,104 1,003,387 (1,300,000) 12,291,501 $ 10 2,363,329 10,224,765 12,588,104 1,512,661 (61,111) 69,077 1,581,738 $ 13,873,239 1,573,772 1,512,661 $ 14,100,765 (1) The Board of Governors of Keyano College is the registered holder of 100 Class "A" common voting shares of the Keyano College Land Trust Corporation. 11. Employee Future Benefit Liabilities a) Defined benefit plan accounted for on a defined contribution basis The LAPP is a multi-employer contributory defined benefit pension plan for support staff members and is accounted for on a defined contribution basis. At December 31, 2014, the LAPP reported an actuarial deficiency of $2,454,636,000 (2013 $4,861,516,000 deficiency). An actuarial valuation of the LAPP was carried out as at December 31, 2013 and was then extrapolated to December 31, 2014. The pension expense recorded in these financial statements is $2,977,238 (2014 - $2,521,689). 12.

Endowments Endowments consist of externally restricted donations received by the College and internal allocations by the College’s Board of Governors, the principal of which is required to be maintained intact in perpetuity. Investment income earned on endowments must be used in accordance with the various purposes established by the donors or the Board of Governors. Benefactors as well as College policy stipulate that the economic value of the endowments must be protected by limiting the amount of income that may be expended and reinvesting unexpended income. Under the Post-Secondary Learning Act, the College has the authority to alter the terms and conditions of endowments to enable: income earned by the endowment to be withheld from distribution to avoid fluctuations in the amounts distributed and generally to regulate the distribution of income earned by the endowment. Encroachment on the capital of the endowment to avoid fluctuations in the amounts distributed and generally to regulate the distribution of income earned by the endowment if, in the opinion of the Board of Governors, the encroachment benefits the College and does not impair the long-term value of the fund. In any year, if the investment income earned on endowments is insufficient to fund the spending allocation, the spending allocation is funded from the cumulative capitalized investment income. However, for individual endowment funds without sufficient cumulative capitalized income, the spending allocation will be suspended until sufficient capitalized income is available. The principal of the endowment will remain intact. The composition of endowments is as follows: 2015 Balance, beginning of year Endowment contributions Balance, end of year 2014 $ 4,243,762 239,789 $ 4,483,551 $ 4,011,777 231,985 $ 4,243,762 15. Accumulated Operating Surplus The funds and reserves are established to show a breakdown of accumulated operating surplus. The composition of accumulated operating surplus is as follows: 2015 2014 $ 4,000,000 $ 4,000,000 28,471,469 25,787,546 7,958,856 14,031,624 $ 40,430,325 $ 43,819,170 Investment in tangible capital assets represents the amount of the institution’s accumulated operating surplus that has been invested in the institution’s capital assets. Unrestricted operating surplus Investment in tangible capital assets Internally restricted surplus (Note 16) 16. Internally Restricted Surplus Internally restricted surplus represent amounts set aside by the College’s Board of Governors for specific purposes. The Board passed the motion for internally restricted surplus on May 30, 2014 where the unrestricted operating surplus is to be maintained at 5% of the budgeted operating revenues; $2,000,000 is to be restricted for educational purposes and the rest is restricted for future capital activities. Those amounts are not available for other purposes without the approval of the Board and do not have interest allocated to them. Internally restricted net assets with significant balances include: 2015 Capital activities Education Total 2014 $ 5,958,856 2,000,000 $ 7,958,856 $ 12,031,624 2,000,000 $ 14,031,624 17. Contingent Liabilities The College is a defendant in a number of legal proceedings. While the ultimate outcome and liability of these proceedings cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the College believes that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or the results of operations. The College has identified potential asset retirement obligations related to the existence of asbestos in a number of its facilities. Although not a current health hazard, upon renovation or demolition of these facilities, the College may be required to take appropriate remediation procedures to remove the asbestos. As the College has no legal obligation to remove the asbestos in these facilities as long as the asbestos is contained and does not pose a public health risk, the fair value of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated due to the indeterminate timing and scope of the removal. The asset retirement obligations for these assets will be recorded in the period in which there is certainty that the capital project will proceed and there is sufficient information to estimate fair value of the obligation. The College has guaranteed a $21 million dollar loan with Royal Bank of Canada for the Land Trust. The guarantee complies with Government Legislative requirements and an approved Order in Council was received on September 8, 2014. At June 30, 2015, $4,249,215 79 (2014 - $nil) was outstanding on the loan. The College has postponed advances to the Land Trust and pledged not to increase debt over Riedel Place student residence. No liability has been recorded in association with this guarantee. The Land Trust holds mortgage receivables from two of its executive employees (2014 - three). They include an "Option to Repurchase" clause which allows the Land Trust to repurchase the properties in the event that the purchasers cease to be employed with the Trust or College, cease to reside in the property or transfer, assign, or in any way divest themselves of their interest in the land and premises pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The purchase price for the clauses noted above is determined based on the greater of the "Purchaser's Guaranteed Equity" or the "Purchaser's Guaranteed Equity plus the Purchaser's Vested Equity". As of June 30, 2015, the aggregate Purchaser's Guaranteed Equity is $49,287 (2014 $43,063) and the aggregate Purchaser's Vested Equity is $nil (2014 - $nil). The election of these clauses is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome is not predictable with assurance. In the opinion of management, it is probable that the College will need to repurchase the properties, however, the timing and the amount is unknown and as such no liability has been recorded. 18. Contractual Obligations The College has contractual obligations which are commitments that will become liabilities in the future when the terms of the contracts or agreements are met. The estimated aggregate amount payable for the unexpired terms of these contractual obligations are as follows: Service Contracts 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Capital Projects $ 1,909,468 522,111 40,730 37,392 36,272 $ 2,545,973 $ 403,737 $ 403,737 Information Systems and Technology $ 45,147 17,673 $ 62,820 Long-term Leases $ 193,882 165,882 125,512 125,158 111,853 $ 722,287 Total $ 2,552,234 705,666 166,242 162,550 148,125 $ 3,734,817 19.
