Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 1996 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 6-36% c.p. Motor vehicles 18-21.6% 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 to the statement of financial performance. Differences between the book value and sale proceeds of investments realised are also 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 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, 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 There have been no changes in accounting policies. All policies have been applied on bases consistent with those used in the previous year. 2.

During the month of March the value of the shares increased by $.48 per share. This increase was primarily due to market speculation that the shares held by Community Trust Nominees Limited on behalf of the various Community Trusts were to be sold to a third party at an undisclosed price in the near future. Brief History During 1994 the trust transfered 119 998 000 Trust Bank New Zealand Limited shares to Community Trust Nominees Limited (CTN) which holds the shares as bare trustee. 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 has a share capital of $100 consisting of 100 $1 shares, and is wholly owned by CTIL. CTIL has a share capital of 100 000 1 cent shares of which the trust owns 35 539. At balance date the share capital of CTN and CTIL were unpaid. The investment property situated at 262 Oxford Terrace, Christchurch is shown in the statement of financial position at cost. As the investment property is in the early stages of development an independent valuation has not yet been performed. Therefore a net current value as required by SSAP-17 is not available. Particulars of the most recent Government valuation is as follows: Date Property Land Value Improvements Capital Value 01/09/95 262 Oxford Terrace 400,000 400,000 $400,000 $400,000 3.

The Trust Bank Canterbury Community Trust distribution policy allows disposable income, being net trading surplus less an allowance for contingencies, to be distributed by way of donation. Donation funds unspent in the current year are provided for and carried forward to be distributed in the following year. Future donation commitments represent donations approved in the current or previous years which are to be distributed from future disposable income. 4.

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 been paid $262,125 (1995 $589,736) of interest from Trust Bank New Zealand Limited. At balance date the bank balances held at Trust Bank New Zealand Limited are $3,147,006 (1995 $5,865,236). 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 Ninety-one percent of the assets of the trust are represented by the investment in Trust Bank New Zealand Limited shares and term investments with Trust Bank New Zealand Limited. The trustees consider the risk of non-recovery of these investments at balance date to be within satisfactory guidelines. Currency Risk The Trust incurs currency risk as as a result of investment transactions entered into by Armstrong Jones (NZ) Limited/Managed Funds. The currency, giving rise to currency risk, in which the trust primarily deals is Australian Dollars. The trust hedges all the Armstrong Jones (NZ) Limited/Managed Funds investment 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 term deposits, Government and local authority securities, and various debt securities held with Armstrong Jones (NZ) Limited/Managed Funds. 12.

The offer transaction involves a fully imputed dividend and a fully imputed taxable bonus issue. The effective offer price in its various forms is $2.92 per share currently held. Therefore the market value of the shares held by Trust Bank Canterbury Community Trust Inc. as at 19 April 1996 is $350,400,000.
