19 Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2014
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a Reporting entity The Canterbury Museum Trust Board (the "Museum") is a non-profit-making permanent institution, founded by the people of Canterbury for the service and development of their community with a particular responsibility for the natural and cultural heritage of the wider Canterbury region. The Museum is created under the Canterbury Museum Trust Board Act 1993. It is located at Rolleston Avenue, Christchurch, New Zealand.
These financial statements are for the reporting entity, Canterbury Museum Trust Board, and are prepared pursuant to Section 28 of the Canterbury Museum Trust Board Act 1993. b Measurement base The Museum followed the accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of profit and financial position on a historical cost basis, as modified by the fair value measurement of certain items of property, plant and equipment and available-for-sale financial assets.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. They comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate for public benefit entities.
The information is presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Museum's functional and presentation currency. c Judgement and estimation uncertainty The preparation of financial statements of necessity involves judgement and estimation. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The key sources of estimation that have had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are presented in Note 21. d Specific accounting policies The following specific accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of profit and financial position have been applied:
i Revenue recognition The Museum has the following revenue recognition policies:
Local authority operating levies Local authority operating levies are recognised as revenues when levied.
Grants and donations Grants and donations, including government grants, are recognised as revenue when received. When there are conditions attached to the grants and donations, revenues are recognised when the conditions for their use are met. Unspent grants and the related interest earned on these funds are recorded as grants received in advance.
Bequests Bequests are recognised in the income statement upon receipt. Where contributions recognised as revenue during the year were obtained on the restriction that they be expended in a particular manner or used over a particular period, and those restrictions were undischarged as at the reporting date, the amounts pertaining to those undischarged restrictions are transferred to trust and bequests reserve in equity and the nature of such restrictions are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Discovery income, image service income and other revenues Discovery income, image service income and other operating revenues are recognised when services have been performed.
Lease income Revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the rental period.
20 Canterbury Museum Annual Report 2013/2014
Interest income Interest is recognised in the income statement as it accrues using the effective interest rate method.
Dividend income Dividend from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s rights to receive payment have been established.
Recognition of insurance claims Where some or all of the expenditure required to repair or replace damaged property, plant and equipment is expected to be reimbursed by another party, by reimbursement (typically from the Museum’s insurance provider) shall be recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received. The criteria for virtually certain is met when there is an unconditional right to receive payment. ii Budget figures The budget figures are from the Canterbury Museum Trust Board Annual Plan that was approved by the Board at its meeting on 13 May 2013. The reconciliation of actual net profit to budgeted net profit is presented in Note 15. iii Offsetting of income and expenses Income and expenses are not offset unless required or permitted by an accounting standard. Items of income and expenses are offset when offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event. In addition, gains or losses arising from a group of similar transactions are reported in a net basis, unless items of gains or losses are material. In which case, they are reported separately. iv Income tax The Museum has charitable status and accordingly no taxation expense or liability is recognised in the financial statements. v Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and short term deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. vi Debtors Debtors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the Museum will not be able to collect all receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The provision, if any, is recognised in the income statement. vii Financial instruments Financial instruments are transacted on a commercial basis to derive an interest yield/cost with terms and conditions having due regard to the nature of the transaction and the risks involved. All financial instruments are accounted for on a settlement basis. They are classified in one of the following categories at initial recognition: loans and receivables, financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, held-to-maturity investments, and other financial liabilities.
Loans and receivables Assets in this category are non-derivative financial assets with fixed determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They include:
• cash and cash equivalents (refer to item v above) • debtors (refer to item vi above) • accrued interest income (refer to item i above) • GST refundable
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income Assets and liabilities in this category are either held for trading or are managed with other assets and liabilities and are accounted for and evaluated on a fair value basis. The Museum has not classified any financial instrument as a financial liability at fair value through comprehensive income.
21 Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2014
Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Assets in this category include investments in equity instruments. The fair value of these instruments are based on quoted market prices.
Held-to-maturity investments Assets in this category are measured at amortised cost. The Museum has classified its bank term deposits and fixed term investments as held-to-maturity investments.
Other financial liabilities This category includes all financial liabilities other than those at fair value through profit or loss. Liabilities in this category are measured at amortised cost. They represent:
• liabilities for goods and services provided to the Museum prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Museum becomes obliged to make future payments. These amounts are unsecured. • term loans with determinable repayment terms and interest rate. These loans are unsecured.
Other financial liabilities include:
• creditors • employee entitlements (refer to item xi below) • grants received in advance (refer to item i above) • retirement gratuity (refer to item xi below) • term loans
viii Property, plant and equipment All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. Repairs and maintenance are charged against income as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The Board reviews depreciation rates and adjusts them to more appropriately reflect the consumption of economic benefits. The depreciation rates applied are as follows:
Rate Buildings 2% – 20% Furniture, fittings and equipment 10% – 33%
When an item of property, plant and equipment is disposed of, any gain or loss is recognised in the income statement and is calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the item.
Land and buildings are revalued on a cyclical basis at least every five years by an independent valuer. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount. If the asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is credited directly to equity under the heading “Asset Revaluation Reserve”. However, the increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. Revalued assets are depreciated over the remaining useful life. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the asset revaluation reserve, net of any related deferred taxes, is transferred directly to retained earnings.
Heritage assets Heritage assets include collection items or artefacts of cultural or historical significance. The cost of acquisition of heritage assets is charged to the statement of comprehensive income. During the year, the acquisition cost of collection items amounted to $256,378 (2013: $112,957).
It is the policy of the Museum to write off collection acquisitions and not attribute a monetary value to items gifted to the collection. The classification of the collections as a heritage asset is based on the premise that the collections are held in trust in perpetuity for the benefit of the public.
New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard No 16 (NZ IAS 16) Property, Plant and Equipment requires that where an asset, e.g. collection item or artefact of cultural or historical significance, is acquired at no cost, or for a nominal cost, the
22 Canterbury Museum Annual Report 2013/2014
asset is capitalised at its fair value as at the date of acquisition. NZ IAS 16 has not been followed because the Board considers that the fair values of the collection items cannot be measured reliably. Usually, gifts to the collection are unique items that have iconic status or are historic and irreplaceable or sacred to particular communities, with no market, so no financial value can be ascribed.
The Museum holds in excess of two million individual collection items. To comply with the requirements of NZ IAS 16 the value of these items would need to be assessed on an annual basis to identify possible impairment, which is required to be undertaken on an asset by asset basis. The costs of undertaking such an exercise and maintaining the information accurately would place a large financial and administrative burden on the Museum, however a project was undertaken in 2010 to provide an updated inventory of the collection items. Included in the inventory are updated valuations of the collection items which it is hoped will meet the accounting standards in the future, should the Board wish to consider a change in accounting policy. ix Intangible assets Computer software are finite life intangibles and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 years and reported within the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. x Impairment of non-financial assets Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication of impairment. If the recoverable amount of an item of property, plant and equipment and intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the item is written down to its recoverable amount. The write down of an item recorded at historical cost is recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). xi Employee entitlements Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of salaries and wages, annual leave, alternate leave, sick leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Accrual for sick leave is based on the unused entitlement accumulated at balance date and expected to be utilised in the future.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Museum in respect of services provided by employees up to balance date. xii Borrowings Borrowings, which consist of term liabilities, are stated initially at fair values, net transaction costs incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method.
All borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred. xiii Goods and services tax (GST) The financial statements have been prepared using GST exclusive figures with the exception of receivables and payables which have been shown inclusive of GST in the Statement of Financial Position.
23 Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2014
e Changes in Accounting Policies The accounting policies are consistent with those used in the previous financial year. f New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been issued but were not yet effective at balance date. As described in further detail below, the Museum is required to adopt International Public Sector Accounting Standards for the year commencing 1 July 2014. Therefore, any new NZ IFRS standards in issue but not yet adopted are no longer relevant for the Museum and have not been disclosed. g Public Benefit Entity Standards A new multi-standards financial reporting framework has been introduced in New Zealandby the External Reporting Board (XRB). The framework changes will mean that from 1 July 2014, the Museum (as a public sector benefit entity, PBE) will report against a new suite of the PBE accounting standards. The new suite of PBE standards is highly converged with existing NZ IFRS's as currently applied by PBEs. Therefore, applying these new standards is not expected to result in significant changes to reporting requirements.
As the Museum is designated as a PBE, the financial statements will need to be prepared using the new PBE standards from the financial year commenced 1 July 2014. The Board has not identified any major accounting changes arising from this transition.

Revaluation of land and buildings The land and buildings were revalued to the latest valuation by W Blake ANZIV/SPINZ of Simes Limited as at 30 June 2010 in accordance with NZ IAS 16 and valuation standards issued by the New Zealand Institute of Valuers. The fair value of the land is $3,000,000 and the building is $29,500,000 as valued by the valuer. Valuation adjustments are reflected in Note 12.
The basis of the market valuation has been the value at which a willing buyer and willing seller shall exchange ownership of the property at an arms length transaction on valuation date. There are no limiting conditions in the valuations.
Work-in-progress – Museum Project The balance of the work in progress relating to the planning and design stages of the Revitalisation Project was written off in 2014.
The objective of the Revitalisation Project was to upgrade the Museum's buildings and services to provide better customer service, new and improved exhibitions and purpose-built storage facilities for the reserve collections.
This was to be achieved through more public arrival and circulation space, larger special exhibition areas, readily accessible lifts and staircases, improved toilet facilities, air conditioning, purpose-built education and collection storage areas, the redisplay of the blue whale skeleton, new long-term exhibitions, and access through the Museum into the Robert McDougall Gallery and then out into the Christchurch Botanic Gardens.
After eight years of planning and consultation, appeals against the Project's resource consents resulted in the consents being overturned in the Environment Court in 2007.
The Museum's operational problems and challenges which the Revitalisation Project aimed to resolve still remain. The Museum Board has begun the process to identify a new solution that will allow the Museum to operate effectively for the future.
At balance date, unspent grants in relation to the Museum Project amounted to $5,838,710 (2013: $5,603,111) and is recorded as a liability in the balance sheet. See Note 10.

16 EXPLANATION OF MAJOR VARIANCES AGAINST BUDGET Explanations for major variations over $100,000 from the Museum’s budget figures are as follows:
Donations and bequests Donations and bequests was over budget by $595,510 due to a bequest from Adson Trust totalling $500,000.
Other income Other income was over budget by $133,929 as a result of increased income from investments.
Employee benefits expense Employee benefits expense was under budget by $438,468 as a result of vacant permanent and contract positions still being filled from the organisational restructuring.
Other expenses Other expenses were under budget by $894,998 due to lower than anticipated merchandise purchases and bequest-funded acquisitions, as well as electricity and insurance savings.
Depreciation Depreciation was under budget by $105,607 due to the reduced capital expenditure.
17 OPERATING COMMITMENTS An operating commitment exists for $238,840 pa for lease payments for the next year.
18 CAPITAL COMMITMENTS There were no capital commitments at 30 June 2014 (2013: $nil).

21 KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY The effect of estimation on these financial statements is greatest in assessing any impairment in debtors and property, plant and equipment. The Museum has assessed that there are no doubtful debts and no impairment of property, plant and equipment as at balance date (2013: $nil).
22 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES The main financial risks inherent in the Museum's operations include credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risks. The Museum's overall financial risk management policies focus on the unpredictability of funding sources and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on the Museum's financial performance. Below are descriptions of the Museum's financial risk management policies. a Credit risk Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.
The Museum does not require any collateral or security to support these financial arrangements.
The maximum credit risk is the carrying value of the financial assets detailed below as at 30 June 2014, however, the Museum considers the risk of non-recovery of these amounts to be low as at that date.

The above maximum exposures are net of any recognised impairment losses on these financial instruments. There are no significant debtors that are past their due date or considered impaired.
Concentrations of credit risk The Museum places its cash and cash equivalents and term deposits with large and reputable banks or financial institutions which have been credited an “A” rating or higher by Standard and Poor’s.
The Museum has no other significant concentrations of credit risk arising from debtors.
Fixed term investments and investments in equity securities are managed by a third party share broking, investment advisory and portfolio management firm. b Liquidity risk Liquidity risk represents the Museum’s ability to meet their financial obligations as they fall due. The Museum manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate bank balances and continuously monitoring cash flow forecasts.

The Museum is exposed to interest rate risk in respect to its cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, fixed term investments and term loans. The Museum manages interest rate risk by monitoring the level of borrowings and deposits secured using fixed rate instruments.
