The Original Capital of the Trust arose from the sale of shares in the ASB Bank Limited. The Original Capital and the Capital Maintenance Reserve form the Trust Capital. Trustees are required to preserve the Trust Capital for the benefit of present and future generations. This is achieved by setting aside each year sufficient sums from Reserves to increase the Trust Capital by the annual rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

| Total General Reserve | - | 225,000 |

The General Reserve formed part of the Trust Fund for the purpose of providing a stable flow of grants to the community during times of adverse investment earnings. As a result of the extraordinary global economic events of the 2008/09 financial year, which led to a significant decline in the value of the Trust’s investment portfolio, Trustees resolved to transfer the balance of funds held in General Reserve to Retained Surplus, to partially offset the recorded deficit for the year.
