Revaluation Reserve 1998$ 1997$ Opening balance at 1 April 1997 24,056,842 Movements in the year (24,056,842) Closing balance at 31 March 1998 Fundamental Error During the year ended 31 March 1997, the Trust Bank Wellington Community disposed of its ownership in TBNZ shares. From the sale of the TBNZ shares, the Trust Bank Wellington Community Trust recorded a profit of $22,708,563 in the year ended 1997 financial statements. The full profit on sale was actually $24,602,905, therefore in the year ended 31 March 1997, profit was understated by $1,894,342. Due to the significance of the amount, the trustees believe that in the 1998 financial statements, the 1997 comparatives should be amended to reflect the correct profit on sale. The effect on the statement of financial position is to increase retained earnings by $1,894,342. 6. Taxation The charitable status of the Trust Bank Wellington Community Trust is currently being reviewed by the Inland Revenue. The trustees are of the view that no income tax liability will arise. For taxation purposes the Wellington Community Trust Charities Limited is deemed to be a charitable organisation and on this basis the income is not subject to taxation. The compamy's charitable status was confirmed on the 27th day of August 1997 by the Inland Revenue Department. 7. Goods and Services Tax The trust is not registered for goods and services tax purposes. Accordingly these financial statements are stated on a G.S.T. inclusive basis. 8.
