Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 1997 1. Statement of Accounting Policies General Accounting Policies The following general accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements. (i) Trust Bank Canterbury Community Trust Inc. was incorporated as a charitable trust in accordance with the provisions of the Trustee Banks Restructuring Act 1988. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable financial reporting standards. (ii) The measurement base adopted is that of historical cost, except for the revaluation of investments. Reliance is placed on the fact that the trust is a going concern. (iii) The matching of revenue earned and expenses incurred using accrual accounting concepts. Specific Accounting Policies Depreciation Depreciation has been charged in the financial statements using rates which will write off the cost of assets less their estimated residual value over their estimated economic lives. The depreciation rates used are: Office equipment 6 to 48 percent c.p. Motor vehicles 18 to 22 percent c.p. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Investments Investments held as managed funds are shown at market value. Net income including realised and unrealised gains or losses from holding or trading these investments are recorded in the statement of financial performance. Other investments represent assets to be held to maturity or as long-term strategic investments and are shown at market value. Unrealised gains or losses from holding such investments are transferred directly to the revaluation reserve. These unrealised gains or losses when realised on subsequent disposal of investments are transferred from the revaluation reserve direct to the core real capital base reserve. Differences between the book value and sale proceeds of investments realised are recorded in the statement of financial performance. Donations, Special Projects and Community Loans Donations, special projects and community loans are accounted for on an accruals basis. Dividend Income Dividend income is included in the statement of financial performance when it is received. Income Tax Income tax expense is recognised on the surplus available for distribution before taxation, adjusting for differences between taxable and accounting income. Goods and Services Tax The subsidiary of Canterbury Community Trust Charities Limited, Canterbury Trust House Limited is registered for G.S.T. Accordingly its financial performance and financial position have been consolidated within the accounts on a G.S.T. exclusive basis. Subject to the above, the trust is not registered for G.S.T. purposes and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a G.S.T. inclusive basis. Financial Instruments Foreign currency transactions are translated to New Zealand currency at the exchange rate ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at balance date are translated at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange differences arising from the translation of amounts payable and receivable in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of financial performance. Off-balance sheet financial instruments that are designated as hedges are recognised on the same basis as the underlying hedged item. Off-balance sheet transactions that do not constitute specific hedges are stated at market value and any resultant gain or loss is recognised in the statement of financial performance. Basis of Consolidation The Trust Bank Canterbury Community Trust Inc., Canterbury Community Trust Charities Limited and its subsidiary Canterbury Trust House Limited have been consolidated using the purchase method of consolidation. Changes in Accounting Policies Realised gains on sale of investments which were previously credited to the revaluation reserve are transferred direct to the core real capital base reserve. The accounting policy in the previous years was for this transfer to go to the statement of financial performance. The effect of this change in policy is for the gain on sale of Trust Bank New Zealand Limited shares to be transferred direct to the core real capital base reserve. There have been no other changes in accounting policies. All other policies have been applied on bases consistent with those used in the previous year. 2.

Altogether CTN holds 337 654 000 Trust Bank New Zealand Limited shares as bare trustee for various community trusts through their investments in Community Trusts Investments Limited (CTIL). CTN had a share capital of $100 consisting of 100 $1 shares, and was wholly owned by CTIL. During the year the shares in TBNZ and CTI were sold and the funds received were invested in a range of short term deposits, pending fund manager appointments to allow appropriate diversification of the portfolio. The investment property situated at 262 Oxford Terrace, Christchurch is shown in the statement of financial position at cost. As the investment property has not yet been completed an independent valuation has not yet been performed. Therefore a net current value as required by SSAP-17 are not available.

This was to allow the trust to continue its charitable activities at least in the short term. 1997 1996 $ $ Capital base reserve Balance brought forward872,935 372,935 Retention as per statement of financial performance8,740,535 500,000 Transfer to core real capital base reserve(872,935[teh]) $8,740,535 $872,935 The capital base reserve is an allowance for the erosion of the value of the core real capital base reserve, due to inflation. For 1997 this was calculated based on inflation at 2.50 percent on a core real capital base reserve of $324,000,000 for 3 months and $358,000,000 for the remaining 9 months. 1997 1996 $ $ Revaluation reserve Balance brought forward244,490,769 174,890,769 Revaluation of shares45,757,244 69,600,000 Revaluation of securities (14,740[teh]) Transfer to core real capital base reserve(290,248,013[teh]) Write off debit balance 14,740 $244,490,769 The revaluation reserve measured the difference between the cost of Government and local authorities securities and Trust Bank New Zealand Limited shares and the market value as at balance date. The write off of debit balance is in respect of Government and local authorities securities and is taken to the statement of financial performance. The transfer to core real capital base reserve represents the realised gain on sale of the Trust Bank New Zealand Limited shares. Transfers have been made between reserves to reflect the new structure for trust funds. 5.

Contingent Liabilities There are no contingent liabilities at balance date (1996 nil) apart from donation commitments as per note 3. 9. Segmental Reporting The trust operates as a charitable trust in the Canterbury, Marlborough and Nelson areas. As all operations occur within New Zealand, segmental reporting is not required. 10. Related Party In the normal course of business the trust has received $7,605,270 (1996 $262,125) of interest from WestpacTrust. At balance date the bank balances held at WestpacTrust are $13,514,076 (1996 $3,147,006) and deposits of $97,227,768 (1996 $2,668,593). 11. Financial Instruments Investments are stated at estimated market value at balance date. Accrued interest, accounts payable, community loans, and donations approved not yet paid are stated at the amounts expected to be received or paid. Accordingly, the trustees consider that the fair value of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is the same as the carrying value in the statement of financial position. Concentration of Credit Risk Over 90 percent of the assets of the trust are represented by short term deposits with a range of financial institutions. However the trustees consider the risk of non-recovery of these investments to be within satisfactory guidelines. Currency Risk The trust incurs currency risk as a result of investment transactions entered into by Armstrong Jones (NZ) Limited. The currency, giving rise to currency risk, in which the trust primarily deals, is Australian dollars. The trust hedges all the Armstrong Jones managed funds transactions denominated in Australian dollars through the National Bank of New Zealand Limited. Interest Rate Risk The following investments of the trust are sensitive to changes in interest rates: bank call accounts and deposits, Government and local authority securities, and various debt securities held with Armstrong Jones (NZ) Limited/Managed Funds. 12.
