The financial statements of Rowing New Zealand for t he year ended 31 December 2020 comprise Rowing New Zealand, and the consolidated financial statements of the Group. “The Group” comprises of Rowing New Zealand and its controlled entity New Zealand Rowing Foundation Inc (“the Foundation”). The principal aim of Rowing New Zealand and the Group is to provide leadership that enhances performance and participation in rowing.

Statement of Compliance

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP). In the case of Rowing New Zealand and the Group, NZ GAAP is International Public Sector Accounting Standards as appropriate for Tier 2 Not-for-profit, Public Benefit Entities applying the Reduced Disclosure Regime (PBE St andards RDR). Rowing New Zealand and the Group have taken all disclosure concessions available. Rowing New Zealand and the Group are eligible to apply PBE Standards RDR as they have less than $30 million annual expenditure.

Basis of preparation

The accounting policies detailed in the following notes have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements and have been applied consistently by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to benefit from its activities. Under PBE IPSAS 6 Rowing New Zealand is considered to have control over the Foundation as Rowing New Zealand receives the majority of the benefits of the Foundation and appoints the majority of the governing body. The financial statements of Rowing New Zealand and the Group have been prepared using the going concern assumption. The measurement basis adopted is that of historical cost, other than the revaluation of foreign exchange contracts and equity and debt instruments.

Covid-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared an outbreak of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic resulting in the New Zealand Government declaring a State of National Emergency and governments around the world implementing varying degrees of lockdowns in an attempt to contain the outbreak. The New Zealand Government implemented lockdowns, border closures and international travel restrictions in response to the pandemic. As a result, local and international regattas, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, were cancelled or postponed. The cancellation of the international tours resulted in a significant decrease in high performance costs for the year as a result of no international travel. The cancellation of local regattas resulted in a significant reduction in sponsorship income and regatta delivery costs. All other domestic expenses were reduced as a result of the decreased income and activity for the year. A further significant decision made at t he 2020 AGM was to rebate 50% of competit ion license fees in 2021 to support local rowing communities financially impacted by the pandemic.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following specific policies have been applied to all aspects of these financial statements:

(a) Presentation Currency

The presentation currency and functional currency is the New Zealand Dollar. All amounts have been presented in New Zealand Dollars (rounded to the nearest dollar).

(b) GST

Except for trade receivables and trade payables which are stated inclusive of GST, all amounts have been reported exclusive of GST.

(c) Taxation

Rowing New Zealand has an exemption from income tax under section CW46 of the Income Tax Act 2007 as a body promoting amateur games or sports. As such no income tax is payable. The Foundation has charitable status and is exempt from income tax.

2 Revenue Recognition

Revenue from exchange transactions

Exchange transactions are those where the Group receives value (cash or other assets) and gives something (usually goods or services) of approximately equal value in return.

The Group receives exchange revenue from a number of sources. This revenue relates largely to services provided by Rowing New Zealand. These services include international tours for selected athletes, sponsorship benefits to commercial partners, member benefits for licensed rowers and coach development programs for athletes, schools, clubs and universities.

The Group recognises revenue from providing these services in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date..

Revenue from non-exchange transactions

Non-exchange transactions are those where the Group receives value (cash or other assets) without giving approximately equal value in return. The

Group receives non-exchange revenue in the form of government funding, grants, philanthropic funding and donations.

Cash or other assets received from non-exchange transactions are recognised as either revenue or a liability at the reporting date. The specific recognition criteria in relation to the Group’s non-exchange transactions are: - Government Funding and Grants The recognition of government funding and grants depends on whether the revenue comes with any ‘conditions’ or ‘restrictions’. If the revenue comes with ‘conditions’ that specifically require the Group to return the grant if the grant is not used in the way stipulated it is initially recognised as a liability. It is subsequently recognised as non-exchange revenue when the ‘conditions’ are satisfied. ‘Restrictions’ that do not specifically require the Group to return the cash or asset if it is not utilised in the way stipulated do not result in the recognition of a non-exchange liability. Such funding or grants are immediately recognised as nonexchange revenue. - Philanthropic Funding and Donations Philanthropic funding and donations are voluntary transfers of cash, other monetary assets, goods or services that the Group receives which are free from conditions or restrictions. Philanthropic funding and donations are recognised as revenue at their fair value at the date the funding is received.

8 Accounts Payable

Accounts Payable are stated at the estimated amounts payable.

Short-term employee benefits are amounts owing to employees where the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee. This liability is created (and the expense recorded) as the related service is provided. The employee benefit liability relates to accumulated annual leave and days in lieu owing to employees. These amounts are only recognised as a liability if the obligation can be reliably estimated.

9 Loans and Borrowings

Non-Current Loans

Non-current loans are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. The market rate of interest used is determined by looking at assets of a similar maturity and credit risk. Movements in fair value, including those arising from impairment, are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

Loan repayments Fair Value movement Balance 31 December Total Non-Current Loans - (70,535) - (70,535)

At each balance date the carrying value of the Sport New Zealand loan is determined based on the discounted cash flows of the expected repayments for the loan. Rowing New Zealand must exercise judgement to determine both the expected future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to apply to each loan. When doing this Rowing New Zealand takes into account the expected repayment term. During 2020 Rowing New Zealand was not required to make a loan repayment under the agreed repayment calculation formula. Based on the formula, Rowing New Zealand also does not expect to make a repayment during 2021. As at 31 December 2020 the balance of the loan has been written down to nil based on forecast future cashflows.

10 Foreign Currency Transactions and Financial Instruments

Rowing New Zealand is subject to foreign currency risk when purchasing equipment and attending regattas outside New Zealand. Where exposure to foreign currency is certain, it is Rowing New Zealand’s policy to reduce the uncertainty around exchange rates using forward exchange contracts and foreign currency bank accounts.

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in surplus or deficit as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in surplus or deficit.

As at 31 December 2020 commitments on forward exchange contracts totalled $18,331 (2019: $744,110).

11 Commitments and Contingencies

There were no capital commitments or contingent liabilities at balance date.

Opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying incorporated society and group financial statements of New Zealand Rowing Association Incorporated (the ’incorporated society’) and its subsidiary (the 'group') on pages 29 to 40:

i. present fairly in all material respects the incorporated society's and group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and

ii. comply with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (Not For Profit). We have audited the accompanying incorporated society and group financial statements which comprise: — the incorporated society and group statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020; — the incorporated society and group statements of comprehensive revenue and expense, movements in members’ funds and cash flows for the year then ended; and — notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We are independent of the incorporated society and group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the incorporated society and group financial statements section of our report. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the incorporated society and group.

Use of this independent auditor’s report

This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the members as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the members those matters we are required to state to them in the independent auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the members as a body for our audit work, this independent auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the directors for the incorporated society and group financial statements

The Directors, on behalf of the incorporated society, are responsible for: — the preparation and fair presentation of the incorporated society and group financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being Public Benefit Entity

Our objective is: — to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the incorporated society and group financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

— to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these incorporated society and group financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these incorporated society and group financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at: http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-7/ This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
