Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing
value basis to allocate the cost over its useful life:

Furniture and office equipment 9.0%DV – 60.0%DV

Investment Income (Net)

Investment income (net) includes gross investment income less management fees payable to the fund managers.

Donations

Donations made from current year’s income are recorded in the statement of financial performance when paid.

Shares and Investments

Shares and other investments are stated at the market value. Changes in the market value of investments are taken to the
statement of financial performance.

Goods and Services Tax

The financial statements have been prepared using GST exclusive figures to the extent that GST is claimable.

Financial Instruments

All financial instruments held by the trust are recorded in the statement of financial position. The financial instruments
comprise equity securities, discounted securities, secured investments, borrowings, deposits and cash. Concentrations of credit
risk arise as a result of holding equity securities as investments. These are subject to the normal market risk associated with
investments of this nature. There are no significant differences between the fair value and book value of financial instruments.
Where possible, financial assets and liabilities are supported by collateral or other security. These arrangements are described
in the individual policy statements associated with each item.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash comprises cash balances (net of bank overdrafts) and demand deposits.
Cash excludes treasury bills that are not used as part of the group’s day-to-day cash management.

Taxation

The Community Trust of Wellington is exempt from income tax under section CB4(1)(m) of the Income Tax Act 1994.

Changes in Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in accounting policies. All policies have been applied on bases consistent with those used in
previous years.
