Trustee Banks Restructuring Act 1988 In accordance with section 24 of the Trustee Banks Restructuring Act 1988, the trust publishes throughout the Bay of Plenty region, the financial accounts of the trust in relation to the year ended 31 March 1997, viz: Chairman's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 1997 Objectives of the Trust: To receive income and allocate such income for charitable, cultural, philanthropic, recreational and other purposes, being purposes beneficial to the community principally in the Bay of Plenty area. Policies and Structure of the Trust A charitable trust designed to administer capital and distribute income for charitable purposes in the Bay of Plenty area. Activities of the Trust: The sale of Trust Bank New Zealand Limited shares in May 1996 at just under $90 million brought a busy year for the trust. The key objectives of trustees were to establish sound investment strategies and appoint fund managers to look after the trust's investments. This task was completed during April 1997 and in the interim period trust funds were invested short term. In tandem with this development Mr Bruce Cronin was appointed trust manager in January 1997. The additional funds available for investment generated by the sale of Trust Bank New Zealand Limited shares has increased substantially the interest earnings of the trust. A consequence is that gross income of the trust has risen from $3,417,551 in 1996 to $9,546,132 in 1997. The additional net proceeds available have enabled the trust to distribute by way of donations and special projects, a record figure of $2,389,198. Review of Results and Financial Position of the Trust The net surplus for the year of $9,078,769 reflects the increased interest earnings and is by far the highest net result achieved by the trust to date. Taxation strategies put in place during the year have resulted in the trust's charitable subsidiary company, Bay of Plenty Community Trust Charities Limited, being utilised for the first time. A beneficiaries income distribution of $7,043,371 to the company has been made for purposes of future donations to charitable organisations. The trustees are very aware that the capital of the trust must not only be protected but must be increased to keep pace with inflation and regional growth. In the immediate years ahead this will mean that reserve appropriations will need to increase but in harmony with reasonable total annual donations to the community. Thanks and Appreciation My sincere thanks are extended to my fellow trustees for the many hours worked on trust business during a very demanding year. Special thanks go to our retiring secretary, Athol Short, for the valued contribution he has made to the trust since taking up his position in 1993 we all wish him the very best in his retirement.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 1997 1. Statement of Accounting Policies Reporting Entity The Trust Bank Bay of Plenty Community Trust Incorporated is a charitable trust registered under section 14 (i) of the Trustee Banks Restructuring Act 1988. The group consists of Trust Bank Bay of Plenty Community Trust Incorporated and its subsidiary Bay of Plenty Trust Charities Limited. The financial statements have been prepared as required by the Trustee Banks Restructuring Act 1988 and the trust deed dated 30 May 1988 and in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice. Measurement Base The accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of earnings and financial position on a historical cost basis are followed by the trust, with the exception of the revaluation of New Zealand Government Stocks. Specific Accounting Policies The following specific accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of financial performance and the financial position have been applied: (a) Donations: Donations made during the year are included in the statement of movements in equity and have been paid from trust capital. (b) Investments: New Zealand Government Stocks are stated at assessed market value. (c) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. (d) Depreciation: Depreciation is charged to write off the cost of fixed assets over their expected economic lives using the diminishing value method at rates from 12 percent to 40 percent per annum. (e) Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated realisable value. (f) Financial Instruments: The trust includes all financial instrument arrangements in the balance sheet using the concept of accrual accounting. Financial instruments are valued as per note 1, measurement base. These instruments arise as a result of everyday operations and include bank, accounts receivable, accounts payable and investments. Revenues and expenses in relation to all financial instruments are recognised in the statement of financial performance. Financial instruments are shown at their fair values. (g) The Trust Bank Bay of Plenty Community Trust and its subsidiary charitable company, Bay of Plenty Community Trust Charities Limited have been consolidated using the purchase method of consolidation. Changes in Accounting Policies The following changes have been made to accounting policies this year: Donations have been paid out of capital instead of revenue. Depreciation has been calculated using the diminishing value method instead of the straight-line method. The trust is no longer exempt from income tax. The tax status of the trust has been reviewed and as a consequence the trust is now liable for income tax on assessable income. All other policies have been applied on bases consistent with those used in previous years. 2.
