Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2002
Basis of Preparation
These are the consolidated financial statements of The Community Trust of Otago, Otago Community Trust Charities Limited, The Community Trust Amateur Sports Co Limited, The Community Trust District Improvement Co Limited and Fillmor House Limited. The Community Trust of Otago was incorporated as a charitable trust in accordance with the provisions of the Community Trusts Act 1999.
The financial statements have been prepared to comply with the Financial Reporting Act 1993 and comprise consolidated statements of the following: Financial performance, movement in trust funds, financial position, cashflows, as well as notes to these financial statements.
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of managed funds.
Specific Accounting Policies
Income
Income from managed funds includes both realised and unrealised income and is recorded gross of fund management expenses.
Interest is recognised on an accrual basis.
Donations
Donations are accounted for as they are distributed.
Foreign Currencies
All amounts denominated in foreign currencies are converted to New Zealand dollars at balance date. All realised and unrealised gains and losses are recognised in the statement of financial performance.
Taxation
Income tax is recognised on the surplus after distribution, adjusting for differences between taxable and accounting income.
Future tax benefits are not recognised unless realisation of the asset is virtually certain.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation
Depreciation has been charged to the financial statement 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:
Buildings 4%
Office furniture and equipment 12-48%
G.S.T.
Subsidiaries of The Community Trust of Otago, Fillmor House Limited and The Community Trust District Improvement Company Limited are registered for G.S.T.
Accordingly, their 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.
Basis of Consolidation
The Community Trust of Otago, Otago Community Trust Charities Limited, Fillmor House Limited, The District Improvement Company Limited and The Community Trust Amateur Sports Company Limited have been consolidated using the purchase method of consolidation.
Capital Maintenance Reserve
The capital maintenance reserve represents the additional amount necessary to preserve the real value of the capital allowing for inflation as measured by the Consumers' Price Index (C.P.I.).
Investments
Investments are valued at year end market value. All realised and unrealised gains and losses are recognised in the statement of financial performance.
Hedging Instruments
The trust through its investment managers enters into hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward exchange contracts. These are converted to the New Zealand dollar rate at balance date with all realised and unrealised gains and losses being recognised in the statement of financial performance as income from managed funds.
Statement of Cashflows
Cash comprises cash at bank and call deposits but does not include cash or deposits held by the fund managers.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments all relate to cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and all revenues and expenses relating to these are recognised in the statement of financial performance in the period that any gain or loss becomes certain.
Cash and investments are stated at cost. Receivables are stated at net realisable value.
Payables are stated at amounts owed to those entities at balance date.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of each of the financial assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position.
Income Tax
Income tax expense is recognised on the surplus available for distribution before taxation, adjusting for differences between taxable and accounting income.
