Trust Particulars The Trust Bank South Canterbury Community Trust Inc. was incorporated as a charitable trust in accordance with the provisions of the Trustee Banks Restructuring Act 1988. The purpose of the community trust is to provide charitable, cultural, philanthropic and recreational benefits to the community. Trustees: Mr A. F. McLay (Chairperson), Mr A. H. Carlton, Ms R. A. Carruthers, Mr L. K. Cooney, Mr R. B. McCully, Mr A. R. McKay, Mrs J. J. Rayne, Mr C. P. Sparrow, Mr J. R. Sutton, Mr J. E. Thompson, Mr D. B. Timpany, Mr R. J. Underdown. Bankers: Trust Bank South Canterbury Limited, 243 Stafford Street, Timaru. Auditors: Martin Wakefield, Chartered Accountants, 26 Canon Street, Timaru. Secretary: K. A. Churcher, Chartered Accountant, P.O. Box 591, 39 George Street, Timaru. Trustees' Report for the Period Ended 31 March 1994 Objectives of the Trust: The trust's objectives are to provide financial assistance to organisations carrying on charitable, cultural, philanthropic and recreational work which is of benefit to the community, principally in the regions of South Canterbury and Mid Canterbury. Policies and Structure of the Trust: All purposes of the trust are deemed to be charitable, to administer capital and to distribute income for charitable purposes in the Mid and South Canterbury areas. The community trust now comprises 12 trustees who are representative of the Mid and South Canterbury communities. Trustees are appointed by the Minister of Finance and reside in either Mid or South Canterbury. Trustees retire by rotation and during the past year the terms of office expired on 31 May 1993 for Mrs P. P. Cornelius and Mr A. J. Srhoy. Mrs Cornelius and Mr Srhoy were replaced by Ms R. A. Carruthers and Mr A. R. McKay. We are grateful to Mrs Cornelius and Mr Srhoy for their contribution as trustees since the inception of the trust. Activities of the Trust: The past year was indeed a very busy one for the trustees. Apart from the usual pursuit of the objects of the trust which is considering the many applications for financial assistance from community organisations of a very diversified nature, considerable time was spent studying and discussing the propositions with reference to the restructuring of Trust Bank New Zealand Limited. In common with the other 8 community trusts who are shareholders in the bank it has been pleasing to find that the eventual share float itself was very successful. The trust printed a new application form for those requesting donations and also a brochure which explains the procedure required and the general criteria considered by the trustees in dealing with all applications. Review of Results and Financial Position of Trust: The main income of the trust was received by way of dividends from Trust Bank New Zealand Limited, totalling $389,259 and after adding the investment income the total gross income was $414,125. The net income (before donations) was $365,863 and after deducting the donations to community groups the surplus transferred to undistributed funds was $168,933. Restructuring costs have been an abnormal expense for the trust in this financial year relating to events prior to the share float by Trust Bank New Zealand Limited. The total of $6,959 includes the cost of obtaining expert opinion and legal expenses arising from the restructuring process. Prior to the share float the trust received a bonus issue of 2 700 000 shares from Trust Bank New Zealand Limited bringing the total shareholding of the trust to 10 800 000 after conversion from $1 to 50 cent shares. Consequently it is expected that the dividends available in the future will reflect an increase due to our increased shareholding. It is expected that our trust will continue to play a vital part in assisting many community groups in Mid and South Canterbury districts.
