(iii) General Reserve
The Trustees intend to compile a minimum General Reserve equivalent to 5% of the Initial Capital Fund and Inflation Reserve. The General Reserve is intended to enable the Trustees to continue with distributions should the Trust incur a deficit in a particular income year.
- Financial Instruments
Fair Values
Investments are stated at estimated market value at balance date. Interest accrued, Sundry Debtors, Sundry Creditors, Term Loans and donations approved, not yet paid, are stated at the amounts expected to be received or paid.
Accordingly, the Trustees consider that the fair value of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is the same as the carrying value in the Statement of Financial Position.
Credit Risk
59% of the assets of the Trust are represented by debt investments and Current Account balances with Westpac Bank and through Managed Funds. The Trustees consider the risk of non-recovery of these investments at balance date to be within satisfactory guidelines.
The maximum exposure to credit risk of other financial instruments are:
| 2010 | 2009 | |
|---|---|---|
| Debtors | 52,786 | 41,718 |
| GST Refund Due | 3,799 | 1,512 |
| Managed Fund Equities | 17,587,604 | 13,247,237 |
| Total | 17,644,189 | 13,290,467 |
Currency Risk
