Professor Jao has been accorded the status of a National Living Treasure of China and this exhibition was the first time that his works had been shown in a major public gallery any where in the world outside Asia. As well as introducing his work to visitors to TMAG the holding of this exhibition has been instrumental in lifting Tasmania’s international profile and establishing strong linkages with the University of Hong Kong and significant sectors of the community there.

Of comparable significance was the holding of the Hans Heysen touring exhibition and TMAG’s Heysen’s Contemporaries exhibition. This was the first retrospective exhibition for three decades of works by this nationally significant artist and attracted over 11 500 visitors to TMAG during its three-month showing.

As this report illustrates, along with holding major exhibitions TMAG continues to fulfil its wider role of augmenting its collections across all categories, creating and disseminating knowledge through its research

(b) Impairment – Financial assets (d) Interest Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that Interest on funds invested is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest rate method. there are any financial assets that are impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
