NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 57

15 JUNE 2006

Basis of Opinion

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes assessing:

• the significant estimates and judgements made by the trustees in the preparation of the financial statements; and
• whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the trust’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We conducted our audit in accordance with New Zealand auditing standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of New Zealand. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether caused by fraud or error. In forming our opinion, we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

Other than in our capacity as auditors, we have no relationship with or interest in the trust.

Unqualified Opinion

We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required.

In our opinion:

• proper accounting records have been kept by the trust as far as appears from our examination of those records; and
• the financial statements:
  – comply with New Zealand generally accepted accounting practice; and
  – give a true and fair view of the financial position of the trust as at 31 March 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Our audit was completed on 25 May 2006 and our unqualified opinion is expressed as at that date.
