Bouris who both joined the Board of Trustees during the year and brought considerable expertise to it. As ever, the Powerhouse has been assisted in delivery and development by the contributions of many friends and supporters. In 2002, we honoured three of our long-term supporters as Life Fellows of the Museum for their patronage and generosity. Ken Done, Alastair Morrison and Dick Smith have each enriched the collection, programs and profile of the Museum over many years. Finally, the continued support and interest of those beyond the Museum is always encouraging to us and, hopefully, enriching to them as they become an integral part of the preservation and interpretation of our heritage. My thanks therefore go to the Museum’s numerous sponsors, donors, volunteers and members, without whom intellectual heritagewe could never realise our vision.

The Museum’s collection comprises of 131,000 registrations consisting of approximately 385,000 objects accumulated since 1880 through purchase, donation and bequest. The objects date back to the pre-christian era with the majority belonging to the 19th and 20th centuries. They cover the broad fields of science, technology, industry, design, decorative arts and history and are sourced from most parts of the world with particular emphasis on Australia, Europe, Asia and the USA. The collection is unique in its scope and diversity across cultures, disciplines and centuries. The Museum incurs continuing expenditure on the research and development, preservation and maintenance of the collection. During the year $4,222,000 (2002 $3,725,000) was directly expended in this area. Collection items acquired free of liability during the year have been valued, where values can be reasonably determined, at $548,000 (2002 $534,000). This amount has been treated as additions under collection at valuation. Processing costs in relation to the accessioning have been included in collection at cost. Processing costs include employee related costs of $1,300,000.

21 Budget review Net cost of services The net cost of services for the year was $1,593,000 (5%) below budget. Major variations were in relation to increase in revenue due to the Star Wars exhibition. Assets and liabilities Main variation to budget in the statement of financial position was an increase in Property, Plant and Equipment of $693,000. The increase was as a result of the capitalisation of processing costs in the accessioning of items for the collection. Cash flows Cash and cash equivalents increased from budget during the year by $427,000. Increase in retained revenues of $2,933,000 was offset by an increase in operating expense payments of $1,574,000 and a decrease in government funding of $945,000 to give an increase in net cash flows from operating activities of $414,000. Decreased expenditure of $13,000 on investing activities was mainly due to the increased proceeds from sale of plant and equipment.

24 Financial Instruments Cash at bank Interest is earned on daily balances at a rate set weekly based on the average weekly overnight rate benchmark less a margin determined at the time of tendering for the account. Receivables The credit risk is the carrying amount (net of any provision for doubtful debts). Interest is earned on trade debtors in selected cases where extended terms of payment are negotiated. The carrying amount approximates net fair value. Sales are made on 30-day terms. Hour-Glass investment facilities The Museum invests in NSW Treasury Corporation Hourglass long term growth and cash facilities. The Hourglass facility is represented by a number of units of a managed investment pool, with each particular pool having different investment horizons and being comprised of a mix of asset classes appropriate to that investment horizon. TCorp appoints and monitors fund managers and establishes and monitors the application of appropriate investment guidelines. The value of the investments held can decrease as well as increase depending upon market conditions. The value that best represents the maximum credit risk exposure is the net fair value. The value of the above investments represents the Museum’s share of the value of the underlying assets of the facility and is stated at net fair value. The TCorp Hourglass investments at balance date were earning an average rate of 1.4% (2002 0.3% negative), whilst over the year the weighted average interest rate was 1.4% (2002 0.3% negative) on an average balance of $3,741,000 (2002 $2,649,000). Trade creditors and accruals The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment. No interest was paid during the year (2002 – 9.5%).

25 Tax status The activities of the Museum are exempt from income tax.
