> HM Bark Endeavour replica Endeavour’s second year at the museum has been an action-packed, exciting time. Fulfilling the museum’s commitment to keep the ship sailing, and as part of its outreach program, the ship’s master Ross Mattson and crew have completed five voyages. In February the ship voyaged to Tasmania with a full complement where she led the Parade of Sails to officially open the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. While open to the public in Hobart 2,472 people visited over five days, and in Devonport 1,158 visited over four days. The return voyage of 11 days brought the ship back in time for the 75th anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on 18 March, to lead another parade of sail. In April Endeavour set sail again for a five day return voyage via Broken Bay, before voyaging to Botany Bayforthe anniversary of James Cook’s landing on 29 April 1770.

Here the captain and crew attended the Meeting of Two Cultures ceremony.

Essential maintenance saw the ship laid up in October 2006 and March-April 2007 for work on the masts and yards, rigging, fungus treatment in the men’s locker room, painting and display artefacts maintenance. Planning is currently underway for drydocking in September, with voyages to Newcastle and a rig refit in late October 2007.

During the year Endeavour participated in various events on Sydney Harbour - Boxing Day, Australia Day, five public half-day sails selling 175 tickets, and one school charter. The ship was chartered during her stay in Tasmania by Cook Films for three days sailing and four days alongside to film a television documentary Looking for Captain Cook.

Interest in Endeavour continues to grow, with 12 film enquiries, five to attend festivals, 27 from professional crew and 1,256 from people wanting to sail as voyage crew. The challenge to sail, maintain and display Australia's 18th-century replica involves all of the museum staff. The captain and crew of Endeavour are dedicated to fostering traditional skills in orderto ensure that the ship maintains her historical authenticity, while the museum ensures that this large and complex attraction meets museum standards and practices to ensure visitors a safe and rewarding experience.

> Vaughan Evans Library Large systems-related projects dominated the library’s workload throughout the year. They included the library system SydneyPlus; collection maintenance and backlog documentation projects particularly in the area of oral histories; the new content management system (Unity) and the creation of metadata and A -Z index for the website and initial usertraining. The museum’s new website went live on 14 November and a part-time library website coordinator position was established to train staff, develop user guides and procedures. In

no doubt reflects the increase in family-history web resources. These include our own pathfinder guides, and the National Library’s picture portal PictureAustralia that harvests images from the museum's painting collection (and many other Australian collections).

The redesigning of the museum’s website research enquiry form has also enabled more efficient handling of research enquiries. We offer help and guidance to other museums, maritime museums and maritime-related organisations, state and public libraries and archives.

We received over 250 letters of thanks this year.

conjunction with support from website team members, IT consultants and feedback from the public, a program of enhancements to the website and the content management system has begun, and an evaluation process has commenced. The librarian and technicalservices librarian continued working in the Australian Register of Historic Vessels and the museum website development teams.

Major acquisitions this year were several early volumes of Lloyd's Register and the Mercantile Navy List, and another five-year instalment of the Daily Commercial News on microfilm. The library contributes to the National Bibliographic database Libraries Australia, this year bringing the total to 16,352 titles.

We add holdings for rare books held as part of the museum’s collection. Inter-library loans remain at levels similar to previous years.

A regular and well-received program of library tours for museum staff and volunteers commenced during the year and the team also hosted outside visits including family history groups and librarianship students. The public enquiry service has experienced more in-depth enquiries, especially in relation to passenger lists. This

> Venue hiringand catering Despite increasing competition it’s been another busy, successful year, helped by a new, ongoing direct marketing campaign that has taken us in new directions. A successful family-day event for PricewaterhouseCoopers included a selection of activities for all ages with tours and workshops run by the museum’s visitor programs staff. A focus on wedding marketing has the museum listed on several new wedding websites and magazines. Together with extended hours site visits the number of bookings has increased 50%. We have also had the museum’s first wedding ceremony aboard HM Bark Endeavour replica.

Good service has ensured that much of the venues business is from repeat clients. The Department of Defence had a three-day conference in March and

The launch of our first online shopping site on the museum’s website has helped increase sales, and it is regularly in the top three visited locations on the site. Sales of themed merchandise during the summer Pirates! program generated over $145,000 and off-site sales at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Tasmania during HM Bark Endeavour replica’s visit exceeded $11,000 for nine days trading.

Product development continues to grow and a new range of postcards has been developed featuring images from the museum’s collection and exhibitions, while other new products have been sourced in the USA and Europe.

The wholesale arm continues to grow, selling museum products and publications to other organisations, and supporting the museum’s touring exhibition program by providing related merchandise to host venues.

> Maritime heritage programs After many years of research, consultation and preparation, the Australian Register of Historic Vessels (ARHV), developed by the museum in close association with the Sydney Heritage Fleet, was formally launched at the museum in early 2007. This new database on the museum’s website has more than 100 Australian boats of historic interest already listed with specifications, images and plans and contextual information. The program aims to build a national picture of all of Australia’s historic vessels whether in public or private ownership, and to promote and encourage their continued use and preservation. Unique vessels and stories have already surfaced. The register was also introduced to audiences at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart, by senior curator Daina Fletcher and ARHV curator David Payne.

Addressing a longstanding need to ameliorate the effects of vessel wake on the museum’s moored historic vessels, wharves and pontoons, several designs are being investigated by laboratory testing and desktop assessments. Fabrication and testing of a new 3D model was underway at the end of the period. The work involved the testing of diffraction and reflection within the entrance channel from multiple wave attacks, testing of wave attenuation and seiching within the basin, and data analysis.

> Media The museum attracted wide attention in press, radio and television across Australia, with 818 stories monitored - an increase of some 2% over the previous year. While the number of stories in magazines and newspapers declined slightly, the number on television jumped by more than 100%, from 22 to 46, as a result of intense interest in the visit by Princess Anne when the historic British yacht Gipsy Moth IV called at the museum on 13 July 2006.

Grant Denyer, weatherman on Channel 7’s breakfast show Sunrise, presented six live crosses from the museum on 13 September, to give Endeavour and the museum’s Pirates! adventureland exposure on national television. Further national coverage followed when celebrity chef lain Flewitson presented three half-hour programs from the museum, with interviews, on the Network 10 series Huey's Cooking Adventures.

An intensive media campaign drew attention to the museum’s Australian Register of Historic Vessels, officially launched at a ceremony on Sydney Heritage Fleet’s tall ship James Craig at Darling Harbour on 1 February. Media kits containing news releases and images were sent widely to press, radio and television.

More than 30 stories appeared in national magazines and in regional and local media from Cairns to Hobart.

The replica of James Cook's HMB Endeavour continued to make news, particularly when it ventured out from Sydney on voyages to Hobart in FebruaryMarch and to Broken Bay and Botany Bay in April.

Special thanks are due to the journalists who joined the crew and covered the voyages, and particularly to Roger Coombs (The Daily Telegraph, Sydney) and Chris Smith (The Age, Melbourne). Encfeavourfeatured in 78 stories across Australia duringtheyear.

The museum developed a new, more comprehensive travelling exhibition media kit to accompany its touring show The River - Life on the Murray-Darling. This kit is being used progressively by the eight regional venues where the exhibition is appearing. It will serve as a model to promote future touring exhibitions.

> Publications We welcomed the appearance of No 6 of the Australian Maritime Series of luxury, limited-edition facsimiles of important out-of-print titles, which we have produced in association with rare book specialist Hordern House since the museum opened in 1991. The latest was the 1787 work Cook, der Entdecker (Cook, the Discoverer) by the German naturalist Georg Forster, who with his father Johann accompanied Cook on his second world voyage (1772-1775). As well as a facsimile of the original German, the volume included the first English translation of this work which provides a close personal insight into the qualities of Cook as seaman and leader.

Dr Nigel Erskine, the museum’s curator of exploration, wrote the introductory essay.

To celebrate 400 years of maritime links with the Dutch, the museum published 12 papers given at a symposium, Dutch Connections - 400years of Australian-Dutch maritime links 1606-2006, held at the museum in May 2006. This beautifully-produced limited edition of the same title, finely illustrated and in a handsome slip case, was edited by museum curator Lindsey Shaw and Dr Wendy Wilkins. The symposium and publication were produced with the assistance of the Shell Companies of Australia.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THEYEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1

Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements

The Financial Statements and notes 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 Financial Statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with: • Finance Minister’s Orders (or FMOs) for reporting period ending on or after 1 July 2006; and • Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period.

The Financial Report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The Financial Report is presented in Australian dollars.

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. However, assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are not recognised unless required by an Accounting Standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrealised 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, consumption or loss of economic benefit has occurred and can be reliably measured.

Consolidation and associated company. The Financial Statements show information forth e 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.

See note 20.

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 Judgement and Estimates

In the process of applying the accounting policies listed in this note, the Museum has made the judgement as to fair value that has 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. 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.

1.3

Statement of Compliance

The Financial Report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AEIFRS).

3 > financial statements >

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FORTHEYEAR ENDED 30JUNE 2007

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 relating to the core operating activities of the Museum.

Revenue from Government The full amount of the appropriation for departmental outputs for the year is recognised as revenue.

Other Types o f Revenue 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 using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

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 is judged to be less rather than more likely.

1.5

Gains

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

Resources Received Free of Charge Resources received free of charge are recognised as gains 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.

1.6 Transactions by the Government as Owner Equity Injections Amounts appropriated which are designated as ‘equity injections' for a year (less any formal reductions) are recognised directly in Contributed Equity in that year.

1.7

Employee Benefits

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

73

74

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OFTHE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THEYEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007 Liabilities for short-term employee benefits (as defined in AASB 119) and termination benefits due within 12 months of balance date are measured at their nominal amounts. 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 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 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 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 2007. In determining the present value of the liability, the Museum has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.

Superannuation Staff of the Museum are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS) or the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap). The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes for the Australian government 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 by the 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. The Museum accounts forthe contributions as if they were contributors to defined contribution plans.

1.8

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.

1.9

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 by the grantee.

3 > financial statements >

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OFTHE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THEYEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007 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

Financial Liabilities

Suppliers and other payables 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).

1.12

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. Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs where appropriate.

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.

1.13

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 Land Buildings Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment National Maritime Collection

Fair Value Measured at: Market selling price Market selling price Market selling price Market selling price

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 surplus and deficit. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly through surplus and deficit 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 relevant amount.

Under fair value, assets which are surplus to requirements are measured at their net realisable value.

76

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007 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:

Leasehold land Buildings Infrastructure, Plant & Equipment

2007 105 years 22 years 3 - 20 years

2006 105 years 22 years 3 - 20 years

The aggregate amount of depreciation allowed for each class of asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 4. The Collection is not depreciated because of its long term nature and the expected appreciation of its historical value.

Impairment All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2007. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and impairment 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 asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, 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.

1.14

Intangibles

The Museum’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 - 1 0 years (2006: 5 - 10 years).

1.15

Inventories

Inventories held for resale by the Museum store are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.16

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.
