CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

It gives me great pleasure to present the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Annual Report 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003. It records another year of lively, diverse activities and exhibitions.

The museum made significant additions to our National Maritime Collection.

Fifteen temporary exhibitions were on view during the year, while our travelling exhibitions criss-crossed the nation. The number and variety of public programs and events was exceptional, and the record attendance of visiting schools demonstrated the commitment of our staff to making our products relevant and educational.

Helping to chart the museum’s future and contribute to its management and governance has been a most rewarding experience, and I would like to commend the director and staff on their dedication and hard work. I would also like to record my thanks to my fellow Council members for their support and advice. We develop with the continued support of the Australian Government, the museum’s existing sponsors, donors and supporters - including our valued Members organisation - and with increasing involvement from corporate and private patrons.

I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to our late Council member Noel Robins OAM, who lost his battle for life after a tragic car accident in Perth. Noel had overcome crippling injuries from an earlier accident to skipper the 1977 Australian challenge for the America’s Cup, two Admiral’s Cup ocean racing series, and win world and state sailing titles. While an ANMM Council member he won a Paralympic sailing gold medal in 2000. His great personal warmth and enthusiasm will be sadly missed by all of us.

Sadly, too, we lost a founding director of our Australian National Maritime Foundation with the death at age 71 of Tas Bull, former secretary of the Waterside Workers Federation. Tas was a major player in Australia’s postwar political and industrial history, particularly in the maritime arena. His support will be missed.

The museum is firmly focused on the future. I refer you to the director’s overview on the following pages for a preview of the vibrant and diverse exhibitions and activities planned for 2003-04. In addition we have underway a capital project which will transform the waterfront precinct of the museum and greatly add to visitation. I look forward to reporting significant achievements at the Australian National Maritime Museum over the coming year as the museum continues to develop and innovate.

NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS Collaborating with and assisting colleagues and com m unities around Australia has becom e a prime focus for us. The num erous m aritim e m useums and

related com m unity historical associations around A ustralia are still quite disparate, m any o f them remote and isolated. O ur leadership and support as a national institution is a key to creating a greater maritime heritage community.

Each year we offer internships to fund a working visit by a m useum volunteer, who gains experience and skills from our staff specialists. The m ost recent intern was M arjorie Earl, from the Shipwreck Museum in Cairns, who worked in our visitor program s and education section. She wrote in her acquittal report: ‘Everyone was so kind and supportive ... your internship changed my life.’ You couldn’t ask for better feedback than that!

Our foremost partnering program entered its eighth year. MMAPSS (the Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme) is the maritime heritage grants scheme administered by us and jointly funded by the W orld’s fastest man on water, Australian Ken W arby (centre) at the unveiling of his record-holding jet-powered hydroplane Spirit o f Australia.

particularly in the last half of this financial year when

arguably the w orld’s forem ost maritime museum,

the SARS epidem ic and the Iraq war coincided. Many Sydney attractions were hit hard, with some that are particularly sensitive to the overseas tourist market reporting up to 50% reductions. T he museum saw the proportion of foreign visitors slip from 32% to 27%, a clear factor in the slight reduction of overall visitor

numbers which we experienced. Still, this was a very pleasing result in light of overall trends.

In addition to this we are operating in a complex and very com petitive environment, with fierce Sydney com petition and growing numbers of leisure-tim e attractions contributing to a widely observed decline in num bers o f people who attend museums. Offsetting this may be a growing interest in history (often the result of controversial cultural debates), and an ageing, time and asset-rich population from which to recruit visitors, M em bers, volunteers and supporters.

Increasing costs impact in areas such as insurance, particularly in the case of liability and cover for exhibition loan items. A strengthening dollar has provided some relief, however, in overseas freight costs.

ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS This is the 13th annual report of operations of the museum since it became a Commonwealth Statutory Authority in December 1990. It is also the final report for the m useum’s 2000-2003 Strategic Plan.

TRIUM PH AN D TRAGEDY

The vast continent o f Antarctica - unexplored, inhospitable, a place of treacherous beauty - is the ultim ate challenge to heroic adventurers. The names o f Scott, Shackleton, Am undsen and M awson evoke legendary feats of endurance and heroism. Driven by courage and determ ination, they risked their lives in pursuit o f am bitions on the coldest and windiest place on earth. The trium phs and terrible failures of these explorers who dared to conquer the unknown are awe-inspiring. This outstanding exhibition brought together the largest collection o f historical objects and photographs from the great Antarctic expeditions ever seen in Australia.

of the ‘core’ exhibitions with which the museum opened in 1991. It follows the earlier redevelopments of the Indigenous, exploration and leisure exhibitions.

T hree m ajor new tem porary exhibitions were staged this year in our largest temporary exhibition space, the Nortel Netw orks Gallery. They were Saltw ater - Yirrkala bark paintings o f Sea Country, Antarctic Heroes - Triumph and Tragedy and Oceans o f Stories - Illustrations fro m Australian C hildren’s Books. Their im pact and their contribution to the m useum ’s profile is discussed m ore fully in the director’s overview.

Among our other exhibitions, we probed the national psyche and its primal fears in Sharks - Predator and Prey.

Colourful American war posters in Patriotism Persuasion Propaganda revealed the role this medium plays in mobilising public support for wars - including the war on terrorism. Siglas de Pescadores - Signs o f Fishermen, an ethnological snapshot of a Portuguese fishing village, opened doors to our own Portuguese community.

A new addition to the m useum ’s popular visitor program s and events was the inaugural Speedboat Festival held over three days during the Easter holidays.

It was a window into the exciting world of racing and recreational pow erboating and the people who design, build and drive them. Highlights included dem onstration races by J class or N ipper speedboat drivers o f 8 -1 6 years, parades o f powercraft and a Best Boat o f the Festival award for the owners who displayed their classic speedsters on water and land at the museum.

The fastest boat in the world, one of the m useum ’s great icons, went back on prominent display just off the main foyer. Ken Warby’s 511.11 km/h, jet-powered Spirit o f Australia had been removed from the former Leisure exhibition when it was redeveloped in 2001, and

Education and children’s programs School attendances were at a record 46,714 this year, compared to 34,959 last year. Numbers were boosted by 15,000 student visitors to Antarctic Heroes in first term.

Sixty-five percent of visiting school groups opted for a tour or workshop led by trained teacher guides, compared to 41 % in 2001-2002. Seventy schools participated in the Shipwreck and Conservation senior chemistry workshops and 67 in the Navigators tour. The tables on following pages indicate the broad choice of programs on offer.

The Peter Doyle Learning Centre was used to optimum advantage, with workshops overflowing to other museum venues. Interpretive spaces within exhibitions, such as Little Heroes in Antarctic Heroes and Vinny’s Minis in Oceans o f Stories, proved versatile as education and Kids Deck spaces.

The interactive play M apm aker ’s Brother for the Oceans A part exhibition taught children the basics of navigation, exploration and mapping as they circum navigated Australia im aginatively with Matthew Flinders in 1803. Popular both with schools and July holiday visitors, the play was selected, with the previous year’s play Prospectors, for the prestigious M useums Theatre Arts Showcase o f the American Association of M useums.

The Saltwater collection o f bark paintings attracted much interest from schools. The collection is the basis of Turtle Tracks: Indigenous knowledge and Western science, the result of a joint research project (Indigenous Science and Curriculum Development) between the m useum ’s education and curatorial sections, the Centre for Cross Cultural Research at ANU, the NSW Departm ent of Education and Training Aboriginal Studies Team, and the Yirrkala (NT) and Yuin (NSW south coast) com munities.

To em phasise the fact that the museum is a national museum, new procedures were im plem ented to gain publicity in parts of Australia w here people might have a special interest in heritage acquisitions or activities with direct links to their area. T hese strategies are showing prom ising results.

The variety o f the m useum ’s exhibitions and events is reflected in the broad range of advertising , rO mediums used to target its diverse audiences.

Advertising cam paigns include a m ixture o f mainstream metropolitan press, niche m arketing to specialist groups and both independent and cooperative marketing to the tourism sector.

Content managem ent training was extended to more m useum sections to improve timely and accurate updating of changing information pages.

A new, richly illustrated guide to the museum was published in response to visitor demand. A new category o f exhibition publication was trialled for Antarctic Heroes and Siglas de Pescadores.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1

B a s is o f A c c o u n tin g

The financial statements are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 and are a general purpose financial report.

The statements have been prepared in accordance with: Finance Minister’s Orders (being the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies (Financial Statements for reporting period ending on or after 30 June 2003) Orders); •

Australian Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting

•

Consensus Views of the Urgent Issues Group.

Standards Board: and

The Statements of Financial Performance and Financial Position have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at valuation. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position.

Assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when and only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured. Assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are however not recognised unless required by an accounting standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrecognised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies.

Revenues and expenses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance when and only when the flow or consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured.

C o n s o lid a tio n and a s s o c ia te d com pan y. The financial statements show information for the economic entity only; this reflects the consolidated results for the parent entity, the Australian National Maritime Museum, and its wholly owned controlled entity, The Australian National Maritime Foundation. The results of the parent entity do not differ materially from the economic entity and have therefore not been separately disclosed. The Australian National Maritime Foundation is a company limited by guarantee, with an initial contribution of $385,620. See note 22 The accounting policies of The Australian National Maritime Foundation are consistent with those of the Museum and its assets, liabilities and results have been consolidated with the parent entity accounts in accordance with AAS24 - Consolidated Financial Reports. All internal transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

1.2

C h a n g e s in A c c o u n tin g P o lic ie s

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in 2001-2002, except in respect of: •

measurement of certain employee benefits at nominal amounts (see note 1.5);

•

the initial revaluation of property, plant and equipment on a fair value basis (see note 1.12); and

•

the imposition of an impairment test for non-current assets carried at cost (see note 1.12).

1.3

Revenue

The revenues described in this Note are revenues relating to the core operating activities of the Museum.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

52

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003 Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts.

The stage of completion is determined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction.

Revenues from Government - Output Appropriations The full amount of the appropriation for departmental outputs for the year is recognised as revenue.

Resources Received Free of Charge Services received free of charge are recognised as revenue when and only when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of the resources is recognised as an expense.

Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition.

1.4

T ra n s a c tio n s b y th e G overn m en t as O w n er

Capital Use Charge A Capital Use Charge is imposed by the Government on the net assets of the Museum. The Charge is accounted for as a dividend to Government.

In accordance with the recommendations of a review of Budget Estimates and Framework, the Government has decided that the Charge will not operate after 30 June 2003. Therefore, the amount of the charge payable in respect of 2003 is the amount appropriated (2002: 11% of adjusted net assets).

1.5

E m p lo ye e B e n e fits

Benefits Liabilities for services rendered by employees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they have not been settled.

Liabilities for wages and salaries (including non-monetary benefits), and annual leave are measured at their nominal amounts. Other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of their reporting date are also to be measured at their nominal amounts.

The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability.

This is a change in accounting policy from last year required by the initial application of a new Accounting Standard AASB 1028 from 1 July 2002.

All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Leave The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as it is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003 The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees' remuneration, including employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination.

The non-current portion of the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at 30 June 2003. In determining the present value of the liability, the Museum has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.

Separation and Redundancy Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. The Museum has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected.

Superannuation Employees contribute to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme and Public Sector Superannuation Scheme. The liability for their superannuation benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Commonwealth and is settled by the Commonwealth in due course.

The Museum makes employer contributions to the Commonwealth at rates determined by the actuary to be sufficient to meet the cost to the Commonwealth of the superannuation entitlements of the Museum’s employees.

1.6

Le a se s

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. The Museum has no finance leases.

Operating lease payments are expensed on a basis that is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets.

1.7

B o rro w in g C o sts

All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8

G ra n ts

The Museum recognises grant liabilities as follows.

Most grant agreements require the grantee to perform services or provide facilities, or to meet eligibility criteria. In these cases, liabilities are recognised only to the extent that the services required have been performed or the eligibility criteria have been satisfied by the grantee.

In cases where grant agreements are made without conditions to be monitored, liabilities are recognised on signing of the agreement.

1.9

C ash

Cash means notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution.

54

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003 1.10 F in a n cia l In stru m e n ts Accounting policies in relation to financial instruments are disclosed in Note 18.

1.11 A c q u is itio n o f A s s e ts Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and revenues, at their fair value at the date of acquisition.

1.12 P ro p e rty (Land and B u ild in g s ), In fra s tru c tu re , P la n t and Eq uipm en t Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Statement of Financial Position, except for purchases costing less than $2,000, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total).

Revaluations Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment and the National Maritime Collection are carried at valuation. Revaluations undertaken up to 30 June 2002 were done on a deprival basis; revaluations since that date are at fair value. This change in accounting policy is required by Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1041 Revaluation of Non-Current Assets.

Fair and deprival values for each class of assets are determined as shown below.

Under both deprival and fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value. At 30 June 2003, there were no assets in this situation. (30 June 2002: $0).

Frequency Land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment and the National Maritime Collection are revalued progressively in successive three-year cycles, so that no asset has a value greater than three years old.

The Museum completed its asset revaluation on 30 June 2003, with asset groups updated as follows: •

leasehold land and buildings were revalued in 2000-01;

•

leasehold improvements have been revalued in 2001-02; exhibition fitouts have been revalued by type of asset in 2001-02;

•

plant and equipment, including information technology equipment, have been revalued by type of asset in 2001-02;

•

the National Maritime Collection has been revalued in 2002-03.

There was no change in the valuation of the National Maritime Collection as a result of adoption of the change of valuation basis required by the above standard.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003 Assets in each class acquired after the commencement of a progressive revaluation cycle are not captured by the progressive revaluation then in progress.

Conduct All valuations are conducted by an independent qualified valuer.

Recoverable Amount test From 1 July 2002, Schedule 1 no longer requires the application of the recoverable amount test to the Museum’s non-current assets in accordance with AAS 10 Recoverable Amount of Non-Current Assets when the primary purpose of the asset is not the generation of net cash flows.

No assets have been written to recoverable amount per AAS 10. Accordingly the change has had no financial effect.

Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to the Museum using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation.

Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvements or the unexpired period of the lease.

Depreciation/amortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at each balance date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Residual values are re-estimated for a change in prices only when assets are revalued.

Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: 2002-03

2001-02

Leasehold land

105 y e a rs

105 years

The Collection is not depreciated because of its longterm nature and the expected appreciation of its historical value.

The aggregate amount of depreciation allowed for each class of asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 4D. 1.13 In ve n to rie s Inventories held for resale by the Museum store are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.14 T a xa tio n The Museum is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax and goods and services tax.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003 Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST: •

Except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and Except for receivables and payables.

1.15 Fo re ig n C u rre n c y Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

1.17 In su ra n ce The Museum has insured for risks through the Government’s insurable risk managed fund, called ‘Comcover’. Workers compensation is insured through Comcare Australia.

1.18 C o m p a ra tive F ig u re s Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial statements where required.

Financial Assets The net fair values of cash, deposits on call and receivables approximate their carrying amounts.

The net fair values of bank bills are based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates for assets with similar risk profiles.

Financial Liabilities The net fair value of trade creditors are approximated by their carrying amounts. The net fair value of the bills of exchange, which will be rolled over after 90 day maturity periods for up to 8 years to finance the long­ term loan, are based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates for liabilities with similar risk profiles. d) C re d it R is k E x p o s u re s The Museum’s maximum exposures to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Statement of Financial Position.

The Museum has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk. All figures for credit risk referred to do not take into account the value of any collateral or other security.
