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 which continued throughout 2021. As a result, local and international regattas, were cancelled or postponed; Tokyo 2020 Olympics went ahead in 2021 with no spectators, this was the only international regatta attended in 2021.

The cancellation of the majority of international tours resulted in a significant decrease in high performance costs for the year as a result of no international travel. The 50% rebate of competition license fees in 2021 resulted in a significant decrease in membership income for 2021. In preparing these financial statements, the Group has considered the potential impacts of COVID-19 on future revenues, asset values and other areas, and believe any impacts are appropriately recognised.

Despite the decline in returns from the NZ Share market, the group’s small portfolio of investments was able to generate a positive return and avoid some of the negative impacts by diversifying investments.
