Independent Auditors’ Report to The Board of Directors of The Freedom Theatre - TFT We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Freedom Theatre (TFT), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2013, the statement of activities and changes in net assets and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TFT as at December 31, 2013 and the results of its activities and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Other matters The financial statements of TFT for the year ended December 31, 2012 were audited by other auditors whose report expressed a unqualified opinion dated May 14, 2013.

THE FREEDOM THEATRE - TFT Notes to the Financial Statements As at December 31, 2013 1. General The Freedom Theatre (TFT) is a Palestinian private not for profit association registered on November 15, 2007 in Jenin Refugee Camp under registration number (JN-938-CU). TFT is developing a vibrant and creative artistic community in the northern part of the West Bank. While emphasising professionalism and innovation, the main goal of the theatre is to empower youth and women in the community and to explore the potential of arts as an important catalyst for social change. The financial statements as at December 31, 2013 were approved by TFT’s Board of Directors on May 7, 2014. 2.1 Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been presented in New Israeli shekel (ILS), which is the functional currency of TFT. 2.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. Furthermore, several standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet mandatory. TFT believes that the new standards and interpretations will have no significant impact on disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date. 2.3 Judgments and estimation uncertainty TFT financial position and results of activities are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions, estimates and judgments that underlie the preparation of the financial statements. TFT bases its estimates on its past experience and on various other assumptions deemed reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Due to different assumptions and situations, the actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

2.4 Significant accounting policies Donation revenues Donors’ unconditional pledges are those pledges where the donors do not specify prerequisites that have to be carried out by the recipient before obtaining the fund. Donation revenues from unconditional pledges are recognized as follows:

Unconditional pledges that are not restricted by the donor for a specific purpose or time are recognized as revenue when the pledge is obtained.

Unconditional pledges that are temporarily restricted by the donor for a specific purpose or time are recognized as revenue when such purpose or time is satisfied.

Deferred revenues Donations related to property and equipment are stated at fair value, recorded as deferred revenues and recognized as revenue on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Expenses recognition Expenses are recognized when incurred based on the accrual basis of accounting. Impairment An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of activities and changes in net assets. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of activities and changes in net assets as incurred. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Useful lives (Years) Equipment 4-5 Furniture and fixtures 5 Multimedia network 6-7 An item of property and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of activities and changes in net assets when the asset is derecognized. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Contributions receivable Contributions receivable are stated at the original amount of the unconditional pledge less amounts received and any uncollectible pledges. An estimate for the uncollectible amount is made when the collection of full unconditional pledge is no longer probable. Income taxes TFT is a not-for-profit organization; accordingly, it is not subject to income tax. Accounts payable and accruals Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not. Provisions Provisions are recognized when TFT has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and reliably measurable. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. All differences are recognized in the statement of activities and changes in net assets.

15. Related party transactions This represents transaction with key management personnel:

Key management personnel compensation: Short-term benefits Long-term benefits

16. Fair values of financial instruments Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. Financial assets consist of contributions receivable, cash and cash equivalents and some other current assets. Financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and some of accruals and temporarily restricted contributions. The fair values of financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values. 17. Risk management Liquidity risk TFT limits its liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash balances and funds from donors to meet its current obligations and to finance its operating activities. Most of TFT’s financial liabilities are due within a period of less than three months from the date of the statement of financial position. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or a contract, leading to a financial loss. TFT is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities primarily for contributions receivable as disclosed in note (4).

Foreign currency risk The table below indicates TFT’s foreign currency exposure, as a result of its monetary assets and liabilities. The analysis calculates the effect of a reasonably possible movement of the Israel New Shekel (ILS) rate against the European Monetary Unit (EURO), Swedish Krone (SEK), Great Britain Pound (GBP), and United States Dollar (USD) with all other variables held constant, on the statement of activities and changes in net assets. The effect of the decrease in foreign currency rates is expected to be equal and opposite to the effect of the increase shown below:

18. Concentration of risk in geographic area TFT is carrying out all of its activities in Palestine. The political and economical situation in the area increases the risk of carrying out business and could adversely affect TFT’s performance. 19. Comparative figures The corresponding figures for December 31, 2012 have been reclassified in order to conform with the presentation for the current year, such reclassifications do not affect previously reported net assets.
