Fair Value

The estimated fair values of financial instruments that differ from carrying values are as follows:

Carrying Amount 2008 Fair Value 2008 Carrying Amount 2007 Fair Value 2007
$ $ $ $
NZ Government Bonds 1,999,811 2,023,000

The fair value has been determined as the amount payable on maturity.
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents and loans and receivables are their fair values.
It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the shares in the TSB Bank Limited. Their fair value cannot be reliably measured as the market for such shares is unknown. The trust intends to hold the shares for the long term.

15. Impacts of the Adoption of New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

The trust changed its accounting policies on 1 April 2007 to comply with the NZ IFRS. The transition to NZ IFRS is accounted for in accordance with NZ IFRS 1: First-time Adoption of New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards with 1 April 2006 as the date of transition. An explanation of how the transition from superseded policies to NZ IFRS has affected the trust’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flows is set out below:

(b) Income Statement

The above change has had no effect on reported profit for all periods presented in these financial statements.

(c) Cash Flow Statement

The material difference between the cash flow statement presented under NZ IFRS and the cash flow statement presented under the previous NZ GAAP was:

  • Under previous NZ GAAP, cash flows arising from movements in short term deposits were treated as an investing activity. Under NZ IFRS, these are now treated as operating activity. The effect of this change was to increase the net cash inflow from investments by $50,000, the cash and cash equivalents at the start of the year by $1,500,000 and at the end of the year by $1,550,000.
