chairman’s message
It gives me great pleasure to present the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Annual Report for the period 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006. This year brings us to the end of the period of planning covered by the museum’s Strategic Plan 2003-2006, and I am pleased to report the high levels of achievement of the goals and outcomes which we set ourselves for the last three years. This year’s outstanding exhibitions, educational programs and public events continue to build the museum’s reputation for expanding and elaborating the concepts of maritime history and heritage. I’d like to pay special tribute to all staff who worked to stage the successful Vikings exhibition, which drew on many important European collections. It’s an exhibition that has helped to bring all-time record numbers of visitors to the museum. Also sharing credit for our record-breaking year is the Endeavour replica, which was entrusted to us by the Australian Government a little more than a year ago. As I wrote then, the eyes of Australia would be on the museum as it took on stewardship of this extraordinary replica which is such a powerful symbol of Australian history. The successful efforts of staff to set up operating systems to manage this exceptional asset, its major refit and first Australian voyages, are reported in these pages. The record visitor numbers also vindicate the museum’s commitment to continuing free entry to the museum’s galleries. This initiative, which was not without its risks, has been based squarely on a desire to maximise public access to this, the nation's leading maritime heritage resource. I would like once again to offer thanks to all who have made these achievements above: ANMM Chairman Mark Bethwaite (right) with

director’s overview
record attendances - a vote for history! During a year when history has been the subject, once again, of vigorous commentary and debate in Australia - among other things, about the ways in which it is interpreted and taught, and whether there's a decline in interest and knowledge about history that needs to be reversed - an all-time record number of visitors have attended the Australian National Maritime Museum. It may be that a surge in the popularity of a history museum has something positive to tell us about the communication of national (and broader) histories in this country, and the health of the discipline itself. But first the facts and figures. Total visitation to the museum gave us our highestever total of 468,445, a 14% increase on last year’s figure of 411,340. This year's attendance pushed us ahead of our previous record set during the Sydney Olympics year of 2000-2001, when the museum’s very high profile hosting several Olympic team headquarters, and the year-long visit of the spectacular replica of the Dutch East-lndiaman Batavia, helped to boost our numbers. Our current surge in visitation took place during a year when many of Sydney's major visitor attractions - our direct competition, from a marketing perspective - experienced a decline in visitors, as much as 20% in some cases. What was particularly pleasing for us was that duringthe crucial summer months, above: Director Mary-Louise

outstanding exhibitions The museum’s success this year directly reflects the quality of exhibitions, programs and activities that were on offer. For most of the year, our major temporary exhibition spaces were taken up by not one but two outstanding exhibitions which we brought to Australia from leading overseas museums and collections. We are immensely proud of both of them. Our Vikings exhibition took the town by storm from the time that we hired Viking re enactors and sent them out in marauding bands to spread the word. Without doubt this is one of the most powerful and universally appealing episodes in the annals of human history - the story of a culture whose unrivalled vigour and seafaring achievements shook the known world while extending its boundaries. It’s one of those stories that underlines the centrality of maritime history to so much of human affairs. Our exhibition pushed past the legends to encompass the entire complex of exploration, invention, commerce, arts and belief that make up the Viking cultures and their era. Creating the exhibition took years of planning and negotiations with the many European collections that lent us their treasures, none of which have ever visited the southern hemisphere before. In the end we assembled a selection of artefacts and created a narrative about this fascinating and important maritime culture that will never be seen in one place again (after it finishes its season in New Zealand where it travelled after Sydney). It was an exhibition that had people re-examining their own ancestries, looking for a possible Viking gene, and inspired many return visits. It built our relations with Scandinavian diplomatic, business and migrant communities, with events such as our Scandinavian cultural weekend. Our Vikings even attracted a significant teen and youth market - normally an elusive demographic for museums - with pierced and painted Goths slipping in to check out the runes and the Viking jewellery! Vikings succeeded the glorious Genies de la Mer - Masterpieces of French Naval Sculpture, stunning sculptures, figureheads and decorations that embellished French warships and vessels of state from 1660 to 1860. The works, on loan from the Musee National de la Marine, Paris, represented some of the most powerful and intriguing characters of history, including the Sun King (Louis XIV), Marie-Antoinette and Napoleon. Their grand scale, epic subject matter, sensuous colour and forms top: Viking sword hilt with gilt bronze, silver and cloisonne

Endeavour replica - historical envoy The acclaimed, Australian-built replica of James Cook’s HM Bark Endeavour is, for so many Australians, a powerful symbol of their history. Despite being unavailable during a lengthy refit and a voyage to Melbourne for the 2006 Commonwealth Games, 53,845 ticketed visitors visited the ship when it was in museum mode, to learn of life on an 18th-century voyaging ship - certainly one of the more significant in the history of Australia’s European exploration and settlement. The Endeavour’s value as an educational history resource for the nation is clear. It enables visitors to identify with the historical players who trod decks, and lived in cabins and messes, like these - an empathic connection that’s more likely to awaken historical curiosity than lists of dates and events. This was our first full year of managing the ship, transferred in April 2005 to the Australian Government by the foundation which had operated it since launching it in 1993. The replica was then gifted to the museum by the Government, along with additional funds for its operation here at our wharves. For us it was a crucial year in which to develop the systems and personnel to manage the ship effectively - a spectacular new challenge for the museum, both in its nature and scale. After we recruited a suitably qualified master mariner to manage the project and command the ship at sea, Endeavour spent 13 weeks at Garden Island undergoing a major refit and repairs. This was followed by the replica’s first offshore passages under the museum's management, sailing to Melbourne for the 2006 Commonwealth Games where the ship became our envoy and a popular attraction. We developed above left and centre:

the year in review director’s overview
history for specialists and history for fun Our calendar of activities and special events, lectures and seminars, tours and onthe-water learning opportunities continue to present history and heritage in ways that are participative, entertaining, fulfilling and, often, delicious! Appendix 1 lists several pages of them. Snapper, Spice and Rice, a springtime weekend festival of South-East Asian seafood and culture, was our third biennial food festival. These lively weekends appeal to universal interests to explore aspects of our history including migration and commerce. The food festivals alternate with our biennial Classic & Wooden Boat Festival, held again in March 2006. One of many cooking demonstrations at our South-East Asian seafood fair allowed astonished audiences to taste the rare seafood delicacy trepang or sea-cucumber - the first Australian export commodity from a trade that predates European settlement. The springtime festival showcased the two important South-East Asian vessels in our floating collection, 71/Do - the only operational Vietnamese refugee vessel displayed on water in Australia - and the Indonesian trading prahu SekarAman. Both were loaded with artefacts and props to bring them to life, and opened to the public under the supervision of staff and volunteers - a welcome opportunity for us, since logistics, safety and conservation considerations usually keep the public from getting onto our smaller craft. The previous week Tu Do had been the highlight of Refugee Week and cemented museum relations with the Vietnamese community when, after a major restoration, it was relaunched in the presence of members of the family it carried to Australia in 1977. Our focus on migration history continues as each year we stage two unveilings of new panels of names on the Welcome Wall, our tribute to all those who have migrated to make new homes on this continent. The unveilings are popular and colourful outdoors events, attractingthousands who listen to music and migrants’ stories. One of this year’s ceremonies coincided with our South-East Asian seafood festival, the other highlighting the migration of young people. As part of the latter we unveiled a major work of outdoor sculpture, a tribute to child migrants, by Sasha Reid. Commemorating the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Nelson was an opportunity to reflect on a variety of questions, from the role of the hero in society, to what our nation’s British heritage means now to a 21st-century Australia. It was also an excuse for pageantry and ceremony, food and drink, as our celebrations from top:

Elsewhere you’ll read in more detail about the winners of the latest $2,000 Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize for 2005, South Australian academics Jean Fornasiero, Peter Monteath and John West-Sooby for Encountering Terra Australis: the voyages of Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders. As one of thejudges, I was impressed by the vitality and variety of maritime history writing and publishing in Australia at the moment. The publisher of the winning title, Michael
Bollen of Wakefield Press, told us how much this encouraged them to produce more high-cost, hard-cover histories. That in turn makes us feel that the effort we put into administering and funding this biennial book prize is well worth it.
a growing collection This year the museum launched a public appeal to fund the complete restoration of Ben Lexcen’s revolutionary 1959 18-foot skiff Taipan, the boat that changed the course of design in that exciting, spectacular and quintessential^ Australian class. The museum acquired Taipan, much-modified and incomplete, as one of its first collection objects, but its condition has precluded its display. The restoration will commemorate its inspired creator Ben Lexcen (1936-1988), an Australian genius of world yacht design who is best known for his America’s Cup-winning, wing-keeled Australia II. For this project we’re fortunate to have the enthusiasm and support of one of Ben Lexcen’s close friends, the champion sailor and Olympic yachtsman Carl Ryves who skippered Taipan in its heyday. Through the USA Gallery the museum secured its first donation under the auspices of the American Friends of the Australian National Maritime Museum, set up to encourage such gifts. The object was an early 19th-century Chinese porcelain punch bowl depicting a panoramic view from the western shore of Sydney Cove, including Dawes Point and Campbell's Cove, once termed ‘one of the most desirable of Australia’s missingtreasures’. The bowl comes from its long-time owner, former US Congressman Peter Frelinghuysen. This year saw the roll-out of a new collections management facility, The Museum System, which when fully implemented will extend direct desk-top collection data access to all staff and ultimately the public.
collaborations and partnerships In Auckland at the triennial conference of ICMM - the International Congress of Maritime Museums, of which I am vice-president - delegates from some 40 organisations debated how maritime museums will grow, or even survive, in a complex, changing global environment. We need a greater understanding of our audiences, and a broader canvas for maritime history than has been traditionally top: Unrestored hull of Ben Lexcen's Taipan, the radical

the year in review director’s overview
our maritime archaeologists have collaborated with the Department of Environment and Heritage on several projects including the National Maritime Heritage Strategy. They are also working with state-based maritime heritage offices. In June we hosted a two-day seminar on shipwrecks, Iron Steel and Steam, in association with Western Australian Maritime Museum and Heritage Victoria. Curatorial and other staff are working with museums, universities and industry on research, exhibition, film and publication projects as diverse as Australian swimwear, Charles Darwin in Australia, and Indigenous knowledge and Western science. There has been a substantial increase in the Australian Government’s contribution to our Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme (MMAPSS), an annual series of grants we make to non-profit maritime museums and historical societies, most of them community-based and run by volunteers. The MMAPSS grants help them to conserve and display their maritime heritage, with projects ranging from boat restorations to conservation of exquisite artworks. It’s our most important cultural outreach program, administered by us and jointly funded by the museum and the Australian Government. Last year we awarded 12 grants worth a total of $30,000. The increased funds pledged by the Government will enable us to more than double the number of grants in comingyears. The MMAPSS grants are a crucial way in which we, as a national institution, support maritime heritage across the country. It's always been important to us that our displays and programs reflect the diversity of the various regions of the country, and their experience of maritime history. It was pleasing, then, to read this recently in our comments book, from a Western Australian visitor: ‘A great NATIONAL museum - a bit of every state, which is great!’ Efforts to increase our travel ling exhibitions have resulted in the Sa//Away program, exhibitions of pictures from our collection to tour to smaller venues around the country. By the end of the period we had two shows, Australian Fishes - Illustrations by Walter Stackpool and Patriotism Persuasion Propaganda - American War Posters, on their way around the country, and another, Antarctic views by Hurley and Ponting, ready to go. At the same time we collaborated with the Australian War Memorial to display its travelling exhibition Australia under Attack 1942-1943, opened here by the Hon Bruce Wilson MP, Minister for Veteran Affairs. During the year work progressed on a major collaborative exhibition, The River - Life on the Murray Darling, developing in conjunction with the South Australian Maritime Museum and supported by a development grant from Visions of Australia. This has allowed us to employ a Regional Community Collections Liaison Officer to travel along the river liaising with communities and institutions to source objects and jointly develop the themes of an exhibition which takes in Indigenous communities, European explorers, farmers, soldier settlers, immigrants, the paddle steamer trade and environmental issues. The exhibition will travel to river communities after opening later in 2006 at Port Adelaide.
The Sydney Morning Herald’s John McDonald, in his roundup of the year’s art exhibitions, declared ‘The most astonishing show was at the National Maritime Museum.’

outlook and issues This museum is the Australian Government's most visible national cultural institution in Sydney, the nation’s international, commercial and cultural hub. It enjoys a unique CBD and harbourside location that delivers unequalled flows of domestic and international tourists. No other Australian museum occupies such a high-profile, prestigious location. The museum has built on that to gain a reputation as a world leader in maritime heritage and history. We continue to make entry to the museum galleries free of charge, as the keystone of our marketing. When we introduced free entry on a trial basis in late 2003 we were the first of Sydney’s major museums to do so. The initiative was to make this great museum and its outstanding exhibitions more accessible than ever before. The challenge for us was always to ensure that the loss of ticket revenue was offset by increased patronage of our other commercial facilities by those larger numbers of visitors, so we could continue to fund the full range of attractions and services. As our visitation and revenue figures tell us, the strategy is still working. To meet the challenges of the coming period we have developed and published our next three-year Strategic Plan for 2006-2009. In the shortterm we will stage the popular Pirates! and Wetworld activity centres to take us through the coming summer season. In early 2007 Endeavour's next outreach voyage takes the ship to Hobart for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in February. We will launch both our new, redeveloped website and our Australian Register of Historic Vessels, which will be an important heritage resource. Exhibitions will include Dreamboats and Workboats - the Halvorsen Story, Lifesavers and a reworking of Merana Eora Nora, our ‘core’ top left: Voyaging to Melbourne,

Among the pressing needs addressed by the SMP are the shortcomings of our waterfront, which include insufficient berthing space, the poor environmental

conditions (such as wave action) which compromise our historic vessel collections, and a lack of sheltered water for visitor activities. An attempt in recent years to provide better conditions through the creation of an enclosed berthing basin was not successful and this, in turn, has led to the write-down in assets reported in this year’s Income Statement. The museum is investigating ways of recovering money invested. At the beginning of the year under review, a number of changes were implemented to the museum’s staff structure which I believed would provide efficiency dividends. Management of the vessel maintenance and operations section, and the museum's physical security functions, were moved into the Corporate and Operations branch. This is the branch that manages building maintenance - large project-managed and engineering-based activities with budgets to match - which have synergies with the nature of vessel maintenance and operations. This branch also installs and maintains security and surveillance infrastructure. Our security personnel were consequently top: Crew’s mess deck on the

With these changes bedded down over the last year, the museum will move confidently into the next three-year period covered by the new Australian National Maritime Museum Strategic Plan 2006-2009.
This museum is the Australian Government’s most visible national cultural institution in Sydney, the nation’s international, commercial and cultural hub. No other Australian museum occupies such a high-profile, prestigious location

It was pleasing to read this recently in our comments book, from a Western Australian visitor: ‘A great national museum - a bit of every state, which is great!’
Judicial decisions and reviews by outside bodies There were no judicial decisions that affected the museum during the period under review. There were also no reports on operations by the Auditor General, a parliamentary committee or the Commonwealth Ombudsman. The museum was, however, one of five agencies which were the subject of an ANAO Business Support Process Audit on the Management of Trust Monies in CACAct Entities (Audit Report 46 of 31 May 2005 refers). Effects of Ministerial directions There have been no Ministerial directions pursuant to the Australian National Maritime Museum Act 1990 or any other legislation during this reporting period.

hm bark endeavour replica Only months after being taken over by the museum, Endeavour spent 13 weeks of Spring 2005 at Garden Island dockyard undergoing a major refit, as well as repairs to the keel and hull planks which were damaged just before the handover last year. Essential to keep the ship in good operating condition and sailing survey, the keel-to-truck refit encompassed hull, machinery, rigging - everything, in short. The world-acclaimed replica emerged looking absolutely stunning, tarred, painted and varnished in meticulously researched, authentic finishes. It was a huge and complex undertaking, and a credit to the team that worked on it. In February, March and April this year, skipper Ross Mattson and crew and ANMM fleet staff prepared the ship for her first sail under museum management. On 6 March Endeavour sailed for Melbourne with a full complement of voyage crew and supernumeraries. The ship arrived safely at Port Phillip Bay on 12 March, berthing at Docklands for the duration of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games. Atotal of 8,800 people visited the ship in Melbourne over 12 days on display - well over the forecast figure - and 2,000 over four days in Eden on the south coast of New South Wales. ffncfeavourthen reopened at our wharves in the ship's own ‘museum mode’, with her cabins and living spaces richly interpreted and brought alive with artefacts and props, clothing and equipment, even eating utensils and simulated meals. Over 200 volunteer guides were given extensive training and under the direction of our ship-keepers now present this national heritage icon to museum visitors, as they will to audiences in other Australian ports. A sail to Tasmania is proposed for later this year. A great deal of effort has gone into this first year of operatingthe ship, particularly in ensuring that this large and complex attraction meets museum standards and practices to ensure visitors a safe and rewarding experience.
French Naval Sculpture and Vikings, both of which presented opportunities and challenges for our educators and those who devise our public programs. In addition, the presence of the HM Bark Endeavour replica is an ever-renewing source of ideas for enjoyment and learning. The Viking Village activity centre kept children entertained as well as informed. Having their own separate area helped the 6 -1 2 age group understand the more difficult concepts introduced in the exhibition. Other popular events themed round Vikings included Vikings Saga, a theatre performance commissioned for the April 2006 school holidays and later taken to Sydney Children's Hospital. This followed the pattern of an earlier play, Endeavour Recruits, commissioned for the July 2005 school holidays and then performed at the Sydney Children’s Hospital. Many educational projects were collaborations with other organisations, such as millinery workshops and fashion parades by students from the Whitehouse Institute of Design, in conjunction with Genies.

Sydney by sail Sydney By Sail is a successful commercial enterprise operated from the museum waterfront by former Olympian Matt Hayes. His yacht charter company is highly regarded in the tourism industry and offers short sails on the harbour and overnight cruises as well as sailing courses and corporate sailing. It benefits the museum not just by its commercial return but by giving our visitors the opportunity to extend their museum experience onto the water, so that the museum becomes their gateway to the experience of sail and Sydney Harbour.

The USA Gallery was endowed by a gift of the American people to Australia at the time of our bicentenary in 1988, to celebrate and showcase the extensive maritime links between the two culturallyrelated nations on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean. The American Friends of the Australian National Maritime Museum was launched on the West Coast of the USA at a function in August 2005 with special guest the Hon Bill Lane AO, US Ambassador to Australia at the time of the bicentennial gift. An inaugural fundraising function was held at the National Parks Maritime Museum, San Francisco, attracting nearly 100 guests. The USA Gallery's major new temporary exhibition Clipper Ships - Greyhounds of the Sea, was opened on Thursday 25 May in the USA Gallery by US Consul General Stephen Smith. It captures the experiences of passengers and crew on the Yankee clippers - the new breed of sailingships developed by American shipbuilders in the 1840s and 1850s. These ships were considered the apogee of sail, and had an important impact on Australian migration over the period of the gold rushes and beyond. During the year, Paul Hundley represented the museum at the annual general meetings of the American Maritime Museums and the Museum Small Craft Association, when the former conferred full membership to ANMM which will further strengthen the links between our two nations.
indigenous affairs Most of the Indigenous curator and liaison officer’s considerable energies this year were directed towards the redevelopment of Merana Eora Nora, one of the museum’s major thematic exhibitions which is dedicated to Indigenous culture and history. It’s due for completion in November 2006. A key acquisition was of five superb etchings on paper by Nina Ludwina Puruntatameri from the Tiwi Islands, which lie off Darwin in the Northern Territory. The works depict the marine life of the Arafura Sea and the Tiwi Islands. The curator assisted research and planning for the big new travelling exhibition The River - Life on the Murray-Darling, a collaborative exhibition that this museum is coordinating with the South Australian Maritime Museum, supported by Visions of Australia. It called for extensive collaboration with riverine communities and sourcing objects for display. He also provided Indigenous perspectives for the Australian Register of Historic Vessels and the changeover in Watermarks, and has reformulated the Indigenous protocols document published last year ready for launching on the new ANMM website. That document demonstrated ANMM’s respect and acknowledgment of Indigenous people's history, culture, identity and art, and it will now be accessible to all. The curator travelled to New Zealand to deliver a paper on Indigenous maritime history and the ANMM Indigenous collection to the International Congress of Maritime Museums conference.

The committee met on four occasions in the last financial year.
There is a strong culture of OH&S awareness within the museum and this is cultivated in all staff from induction and onwards. The museum's OH&S database captures incidents involving volunteers and visitors as well as staff. There were 57 incidents on-site in the reporting period which was a reduction of four on the 61 in the previous year. The reduction is all the more significant considering that 2005-2006 was an all-time record year with attendances in excess of 468,000. There was, however,

Audit Office INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT To the Minister for the Arts and Sport Scope
The financial statements and Council’s responsibilities The financial statements comprise: • • • • •
Statement by Council Members; Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Statement o f Cash Flows; Statement o f Changes in Equity; Schedules o f Commitments and Contingencies; and Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
o f the Australian National Maritime Museum for the year ended 30 June 2006. The Council Members o f the Australian National Maritime Museum are responsible for preparing the financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance o f the Australian National Maritime Museum and that comply with Finance Minister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, Accounting Standards and mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia. The Council Members are also responsible for the maintenance o f adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial statements.
Audit Approach We have conducted an independent audit o f the financial statements to express an opinion on them to you. Our audit has been conducted in accordance with the Australian National Audit Office Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards, to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The nature o f an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations o f internal control, and the availability of persuasive, rather than conclusive, evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. While the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting was considered when determining the nature and extent of audit procedures, the audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

We have performed procedures to assess whether, in all material respects, the financial statements present fairly, in accordance with Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies A ct 1997, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding o f the Australian National Maritime M useum’s financial position, and o f its financial performance and cash flows. The audit opinion is based on these procedures, which included: • •
examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; and assessing the appropriateness o f the accounting policies and disclosures used, and the reasonableness o f significant accounting estimates made by the Council Members.
Independence In conducting the audit, we have followed the independence requirements o f the Australian National Audit Office, which incorporate the ethical requirements o f the Australian accounting profession. Audit Opinion In my opinion, the financial statements o f the Australian National Maritime Museum: (a) have been prepared in accordance with Finance M inister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies A ct 1997; and (b) give a true and fair view o f the Australian National Maritime M useum’s financial position as at 30 June 2006 and o f its performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with: (i) the matters required by the Finance M inister’s Orders; and (ii) applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1
Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements
The financial statements are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 to 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 (or FMOs, being the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Orders (Financial Statements for reporting period ending on or after 1 July 2005)); • Australian Accounting Standards issued bythe Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB); and • Interpretations issued bythe AASB and UIG that apply for the reporting period. This is thefirst financial report to be prepared under Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). The impacts of adopting AIFRS are disclosed in Note 2. The Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Equity 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 Balance Sheet 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. Flowever, assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are 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 Income Statement when and only when the flow or consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured. Consolidation and associated company. 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 the Accounting Standards. All internal transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. 1.2
Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates
In the process of applying the accounting policies listed in this note, the museum has made the following judgements that have the most significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements: • The fair value of land and buildings has been taken to be the market value of similar properties, whereas the buildings are purpose built and may in fact realise more or less in the market; and • The increase in the fair value of the National Maritime Collection since 2003 is based on the benchmark of 10% per annum which is consistent with the movement in value for heritage items taken as a whole. No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period.
section three financial statements
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006
1.3
Statement of Compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). The AASB has issued amendments to existing standards, which are not effective at the reporting date. The museum intends to adopt all standards upon their application date. As at the reporting date, there is no expected effect from application of these standards. 1.4
Revenue
The revenues described in this note are revenues relatingto the core operating activities of the museum. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract to provide the service. The stage of completion is determined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the relevant asset. Revenue from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer. Receivables for goods and services are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any provision for bad and doubtful debts. Collectability of debts is reviewed at balance date. Provisions are made when collectability of the debt isjudged to be less rather than more likely. Revenue from Government 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 those resources is recognised as an expense. Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised as revenue at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition. 1.5
Transactions by the Government as Owner
Equity Injections Net assets received other than under a restructuring of administrative arrangements are treated as contributions by owners. 1.6
Employee Benefits
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 measured at their nominal amounts.
74
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006
The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured as 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 all sick leave 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. The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; remuneration, including employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to betaken 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 2006. In determining the present value of the liability, the museum has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation. Superannuation Employees contribute to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS) or the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap). The CSS and PSSare defined benefit schemes for the Commonwealth and the PSSap is a defined contributions scheme. The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled bythe Australian Government in due course. The museum makes employer contributions to the Australian Government at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the cost to the Government of the superannuation entitlements of the museum's employees. 1.7
Leases
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. 1.8
Borrowing Costs
All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. 1.9
Grants
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 bythe grantee. In cases where grant agreements are made without conditions to be monitored, liabilities are recognised on signing of the agreement.

1.10
Cash
Cash means notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution. Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. Interest is credited to revenue as it accrues. 1.11
Impairment of Financial Assets
As prescribed in the Finance Minister's Orders, the museum has applied the option available under AASB 1 of adopting AASB 132 and 139 from 1 July 2005 rather than 1 July 2004. Financial assets are assessed for impairment at each balance date and no loss exists (2005: nil). 1.12
Other Financial Liabilities
Bills of exchange were carried at the amount of their initial proceeds plus accrued interest. Trade creditors and accruals are recognised at their nominal amounts, being the amounts at which the liabilities will be settled. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods and services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced). Interest payable is accrued overtime. 1.13
Acquisition of Assets
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. 1.14
Property (Land and Buildings), and Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment
Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Balance Sheet, 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, plant and equipment are carried at fair value, being revalued with sufficient frequency such that the carrying amount of each asset is not materially different, at reporting date, from its fair value. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. Valuations undertaken in each year are at 30 June. Fair values for each class of assets are determined as shown below. Asset Class
Fair Value Measured at:
Land
Market selling price
Buildings
Market selling price
Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment

76
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006
Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised through profit and loss. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly through profit and loss except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the revalued amount. Under fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value. 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. Depreciation/amortisation rates (useful lives), residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: 2005-06
2004-05
Leasehold land
Lease term (105 years)
Lease term (105 years)
Buildings
22 years

Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment

Intangibles
5 -1 0 years
5 -10 years
The aggregate amount of depreciation allowed for each class of asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 5. The Collection is not depreciated because of its longterm nature and the expected appreciation of its historical value. Impairment All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2006. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated and impairment of adjustment made if the asset's recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependant on the assetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to generate future cashflows, and the asset would be replaced if the museum were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be depreciated replacement cost. 1.15
Intangibles
The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intangibles comprise software for internal use and are carried at cost. Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the museum's software are 5 - 10 years (2 0 0 4 -0 5 :5 -1 0 years). 1.16
Inventories
Inventories held for resale bythe museum store are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.17
Taxation
The museum is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax and the goods and services tax (GST). 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. 1.18
Foreign Currency
Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency receivables and payables (if any) are translated at the exchange rates current as at balance date. Associated currency gains and losses are not material. 1.19
Comparative Figures
Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial statements where required. 1.20
Rounding
Amounts are rounded to the nearest $1,000 except in relation to: • remuneration of Council members (note 13); • remuneration of officers (note 15); • remuneration of auditors (note 16); • assets held in trust (note 20); and • Australian National Maritime Foundation (note 22).

Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets have been capitalised under AGAAP. The Finance Minister’s Orders have prescribed all borrowing costs to be expensed under AIFRS and these amounts have therefore been derecognised. The cash flow statement presented under previous AGAAP is equivalent to that prepared under AIFRS.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ASSETS
At 30 June 2006, an unquantifiable contingent liability exists in respect to the termination of a contract for consulting services provided to the museum. A counter-claim will be defended should one arise. Unquantifiable contingent assets exist in respect to the conditional sale of certain assets which are redundant to the museum’s needs and also to legal proceedings which the museum has commenced. It is not possible to estimate the amounts of any eventual payments that may be required or received in relation to the above.

appendix 19 volunteers speakers panel
A panel of experienced and enthusiastic volunteer speakers, working with the manager of External Relations Bill Richards, continues to visit service clubs and similar organisations to promote the museum. Many of these speaking engagements result in group bookings for museum visits. In the year under review the panel developed two new Powerpoint presentations - on the Endeavour and the Vikings exhibition - enabling speakers to talk on a wider range of museum topics. This generated increasing numbers of speaking opportunities. There were 27 visits in the last financial year, three more than in the previous year. 06/07/05
