Notes to the Financial Statements (Extract)

HOCKEY NEW ZEALAND INCORPORATED AND GROUP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Hockey New Zealand Incorporated (“HNZ”) is an incorporated society in New Zealand established under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908. The full financial statements have been prepared using Public Benefit Entity International Public Sector Accounting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (PBE IPSAS (RDR)). HNZ has elected to base its accounting policies on PBE IPSAS RDR as it does not have public accountability and has total annual expenses of between $2,000,000 and $30,000,000. All transactions in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expenses are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Group will continue to operate in the foreseeable future, and have been prepared on a historical cost basis. These summary financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD) which is HNZ’s functional currency. These summary financial statements which are prepared in accordance with PBE FRS- 43, were authorised by the Board on 9 April 2020 and these have been prepared in order to provide interested persons with a succinct overview of the past performance of HNZ and its controlled entities for the year ended 31 December 2019. The specific disclosures have been extracted from the audited full financial statements dated 9 April 2020. The full financial statements, were audited by BDO Auckland who issued an unqualified audit opinion. Users of the summary financial statements should note that the information contained therein cannot be expected to provide as complete an understanding as provided by the full financial statements of the Society. Users can request the full financial statements of the Society from the CEO, Mr Ian Francis, at 14 Normanby Road, Mt Eden, Auckland or at www.hockeynz.co.nz.

Prior period re-classification The Group has reclassified $418,862 from ‘Cash and cash equivalents’ reported in the Statement of Financial position at 31 December 2018 to ‘Investments’, in compliance with PBE IPSAS 29 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This relates to the Group’s investment portfolio which is managed by a third party. At 31 December 2018 the portfolio included uninvested cash of $418,862 which the Group had previously reported within ‘Cash and cash equivalents’. IPSAS 29 requires this to be included within ‘Investments’. The reclassification also impacts reported ‘Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period’ in the Statement of Cashflows for the year ended 31 December 2018 by the same amount, comprising a reduction in ‘Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period’ of $236,360 and a reduction in ‘Sale/(Purchase) of investments’ of $182,502.

5. EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE At the reporting date a number of cases of a new virus, COVID-19 (which is also known as Coronavirus), had been reported in the Wuhan province of China. The Group undertakes all of its activities in New Zealand and does not source any products from overseas. Consequently, the financial statements for the current period are not impacted by COVID-19.

Subsequent to reporting date, COVID-19 became widespread globally. As a result, the World Health Organization announced that the outbreak should be considered a pandemic. The result of this pandemic has been a substantial reduction in economic activity throughout the world, as governments have introduced measures (such as the closure of all non-essential businesses and the cancellation of all public events) in a bid to halt, or at least slow, transmission of the virus. At the time of signing the financial statements, there is uncertainty about how much further economic activity will fall and how long the period of reduced economic activity will last. In addition, at the date of signing the financial statements, the New Zealand Government has ordered that all non-essential businesses cease trading for at least four weeks.

The Board has assessed the likely impact of COVID-19 on the Group and have concluded that, for the 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, COVID-19 will not impact the ability of the Group to continue operating as a going concern. That conclusion has been reached because the Group has sufficient resources (Reserves and investment portfolio) that, even with low revenue, it can maintain revised expenditure for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.
