Formation The West Coast Community Trust (``the trust'') was formed on 30 May 1988, through the creation of a trust deed in compliance with the Trustee Banks Restructuring Act 1988. These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the 1993 Financial Reporting Act. The trust qualifies for the differential reporting because its revenue and number of employees fall below the threshold set by the differential reporting standards.
