Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will encounter difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities. This risk is managed through the Trust’s investment in a diversified portfolio of financial assets.

The Trust’s investment portfolio during the year under review consisted of only listed securities which under normal market conditions are readily convertible to cash. In addition the Trust maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet normal operating requirements, as well as the timing of the commitments below.

The Trust’s financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables, and committed but unpaid donations.

At balance date all trade and other payables were current, and are normally settled on the 20th of the month following invoice date.

Committed but unpaid donations are held as current liabilities pending the satisfaction of conditions under which the donations were made. At balance date committed but unpaid donations totalled $1,904,930 ($1,620,750 – 2009).

These committed and unpaid donations had the following profile:

Financial Year Approved Number of Grants Outstanding Value
2009 7 425,000
2010 115 1,479,930
Total 122 1,904,930
