Funds carried forward as accumulated income are available for the payment of donations in future years. Budgeted donations unspent in the current year are to be distributed in the following year.

Future donation commitments represent donations approved in the current or previous years which are to be distributed from either capital or future income sources.

The trustees recognise that there is a need to ensure a fairness and equity between the regions as far as payments of donations are concerned in relation to budgetary allocations. The allocation of donations between regions is based on population statistics for each region.

| Total trust funds | 475,979,459 | 453,324,669 |

The capital base reserve is an allowance for the erosion of the value of the core real capital base reserve, due to inflation. For 2005, this was calculated based on inflation at 2.75% on a core real capital base reserve of $419,585,269, being the original core real capital base reserve of $371,422,000 plus the adjusted capital base reserve of $48,163,269.

The prior year, core real capital adjustment recognised an amendment to the trust’s capital position to capitalise previously set aside income reserves following the 1996 sale of the Trust Bank NZ Limited shareholding, and also included an inflationary movement for that adjustment.

Even though The Canterbury Community Trust is exempt from income tax with effect from 1 April 2004, all taxable distributions after that date will still be subject to tax in the donee’s hands, if the donee does not have tax exempt status.

Included in amounts available for tax-free distribution is $77,068,296 which will be available for tax-free distribution if Community Trust Charities Limited is liquidated by 31 March 2006. Trustees expect this to be the case.
