Financial position 2015 to 2016 was another strong year in terms of the balance sheet despite a deficit following annual adjustments in the profit and loss. We remain confident in the application of prudent financial management evidenced in our net cash flows from operating activities of $ 77,606 at year closing. Macroeconomic conditions this year has been extremely challenging with low interest rates, and a global weak economy impacting projected income on investment. In addition there has been a lot of activity across the year divesting and re- investing where performance of investment showed signs of weakening. Despite a realised loss on some investments, overall the revaluation values by year end showed gains of $ 101,613. A key focus this year was to deliver on our strategic commitment to provide benefit back to the iwi. As a board we invested in an online grants system with lighter features such as “live chat�. We also exceeded our target of generating $ 100,000 in accumulated interest within the Hakaraia Endowment portfolio. This places the Board in a position to distribute education grants by Feb – March 2017. A further priority has been the review across the performance of income from Trust property assets. Three years down the track we now turn our focus to increasing income streams, and improving asset performance. This will be achieved through targeted options aligned to financial targets, economic forecasts, including the future and lifecycle of current assets. We will continue to honour our commitments to maintaining an efficient balance sheet whilst retaining those investments and assets with sufficient performance against cost and benefit.

Responsible Business Being a responsible Trust is an integral part of delivering on our strategy. It is not only reflected in our culture, but also in our approach to governance and doing the right thing. Our commitment to Trust beneficiaries is to ensure we engage on matters that impact on realising intended benefit, and the cost of that benefit. This is reflected in the special general meeting held in May this year in relation to the delivery of the History Project and accessibility by the iwi to the documented history of Waitaha. I report at this time that the Board approved an extension of time in support of the history project completion. This was recently agreed to by Maranga Waitaha Trust, who will now be required to work through a process with the History project team and others on an agreeable plan for completion.
The Board Critical to the success of the Trust is ensuring we maintain the breadth and balance of skills to suit both the existing shape of the Trust and to support our future growth. We have, for example, recognised that technology will continue to be an important part of our future. Equally important, is ensuring the Board has absolutely the right processes in place to ensure it is operating as efficiently and effectively as possible, and is helping to set the agenda for the Trust to succeed both in the short and long term. This will continue to be a priority in 2017 and beyond.
Governance High standards of governance are fundamental to the way the must Trust operate. The Board is committed to ensuring that we not only operate effectively, but that each Trustee is committed to the role and continues to make a valuable contribution. This year we underwent elections for three trustee positions. I congratulate first those beneficiaries who voted, and those nominees who were successful.
Into the future Despite nga piki me nga heke, it has been another year of further progress. There is, however, no complacency in going forward. We need to continue to focus our energies on the deployment of those things that give effect to positive change for Waitaha. We can only do this successfully with excellent people and, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank koeke for their input, our employees, and advisors for their very considerable efforts in the past year. Na,
Frank Grant Chairman

The key initiatives underpinning the ten year strategy continue to progress. We continue to transform the value we offer beneficiaries by providing the benefits of online, connected experiences. Importantly, we do this through powerful technology that is non-disruptive and, which supports our progressive move to cloud based technologies. Our approach to strategic management has seen investment prioritised to key initiatives to deliver on legacy products. These include the uptake of environmental responses relating to areas where Waitaha historically and culturally is present, aligning ourselves for the development of a Waitaha history archival platform, the investment for the delivery of the documented history of Waitaha, the launch of the Hakaraia Education grants due to roll out in October this year online. Achieving key performance indicators has not been without its’ challenges as we evolve from a phase of establishment. In strengthening our political position among Local and territorial government influences, the demands have increased reflected in the number of notified consents, environmental responses, and presence on large scale project developments. While a huge investment of time and effort is provided to these areas, the key drivers are undoubtedly the interdependence and reliance between whanau and our natural resources. We continue to work collaboratively with Waitaha iwi reps and koeke in to provide a united and collective approach to environmental matters. While we have been proactive in the area of environmental issues, we have also initiated the scoping for a reserves plan. This will involve the Department of Conservation and the Trust as the legal administrator. This provides the opportunity to embed also the obligations by DOC toward giving effect to whakairinga korero with accountabilities provided for in their annual conservation management plans. We have experienced growth in the iwi register this year, in particular online registrations. A fey focus has been to lighten the burden on beneficiaries in their ability to inform changes to their registration record through the website and social media platforms. With the recent elections, we received a number of contacts advising of change. While our response to updates is immediate, I do however emphasise the importance of beneficiary responsibility. You will note this year a change of financial performance reporting. This is implemented due to the introduced New Zealand Accounting standards. Such changes have significantly impacted on the profit and loss by including what traditionally was accounted for in the balance sheet. Despite these changes, the balance sheet reflects a significant increase in equity. This is largely due to the increased rateable value of Te Houhou. In order to improve the management and controls over profit margins we will need to adapt new reporting systems that include adjustments month by month where possible as opposed to end of year. This will also include a change in monthly investment performance reporting. Our ability to remain agile to change will be an important aspect to ensuring the longevity of prudent financial management.

The Statement of Intent is a five year strategy with specific accountabilities across multiple objectives. While we have achieved good results in some areas, we will focus more directly on others with increased resource and capability which was allocated toward the end of this fiscal year. Those priority areas are the education, cultural, and investment strategies of the Charitable Trust. We have previously reported the future establishment of a holdings company. This is subject to many considerations and not a straight forward exercise. A key aspect has been in determining what kind of investment and economic development could be entered into, and more importantly managing the risk on return. This has continued to be an area of caution given limited resource and risk thresholds. In response, an analysis of asset performance has initiated increased income targets for 2017. Specifically performance targets across all property assets will be properly researched, with economic options that will achieve financial performance expectations. This is scheduled to be completed by late December early January. The future focus remains on the success of outcomes where whanau remain at the heart of Trust strategies. A disciplined approach will continue to drive quality and a blue print for continuous growth by the leaders of tomorrow. Finally, I would like to thank the staff for their commitment, and also Waitaha koeke including iwi representatives for their valued input over the year. Na,
Vivienne Robinson General Manager

Operations are governed by the Trust’s constitution that aligns with and supports the regulatory requirements for which is mandated through Waitaha Claims Settlement ACT 2013
The Board employs a Governance Policy model designed to empower the Trustees to fulfil their obligation of accountability. Policy Governance separates issues of organizational purpose from all other organizational placing primary importance on Trust purposes. Policy Governance demands accomplishment of purpose, and only limit the staff's available means to those which do not violate the board's pre-stated standards of prudence and ethics.

Item 3
Carried Frank Grant [0241]: Chair advised a change to agenda format bringing forward the financial report to accommodate GHA time commitments. Financials: Audit ended 30.06.2015 FINANCIAL POSITION Board accountant, Mere George reported
This is a good Auditors report for Te Kapu o Waitaha illustrating that TKOW has complied meeting all the reporting requirements. income increased by $71k due to the establishment and administration for WCT, and rental income also increased interest income is down to $133k. Interest rates fell this year and because of WCT set up 34
there was less on term deposit under the name Te Kapu o Waitaha. funds were moved to Craigs Investments creating a diversified portfolio
Maru Tapsell [0631]: enquired about the taxation of TKOW, and further explained that the intent of the treaty negotiations was for the PSGE to set up separate Charitable entities for each endowment. Mere George: Responded that the Trust was a Maori Authority therefore paid 17.5% tax as opposed to 33% tax, adding that one Charitable Trust was established with multiple purposes aligned to each endowment, this was a cost saving measure. Tame McCausland [0517]: Requested a breakdown of the rental income from the schools, and commercial properties. Mere George: Responded that those details would be covered further into the report, and requested that questions be raised at the end of the report. Continuing, Mere reported;
expenditure has gone from $209k to $450k much of that increase reflects that the trust has been fully operational for a 12 month period. the bottom line for Te Kapu O Waitaha Trust is a profit of $28k. That is the statement of financial performance. the Trust had an opening value of $11.2m at the end of the financial year 30 June 2015. The value of the trust is now $13.7m as a result of including the value of the schools in this audit.
BALANCE SHEET
total current assets have grown by $3.3m non-current assets, investments and intangibles have increased by $2.6m from $11.2 in 2014 to $13.7 in 2015. ASB Term Deposits is $0 due shifting out the funds to Craig Partners now appearing at $3.2m as Investments managed by Craigs. $3m was transferred from TKOW to Waitaha Charitable Trust and the rest went into the operating account so it moved from non-current assets to the current assets. total liability has also increased from $37k to $50k provision for annual leave” has increased due to staff working for longer, accrued expenses have appeared for audit fees. Trust worth is $13.7m.
TAXATION NOTES tax liability to IRD $2,145. earnings suggest the Trust owes $2,145 tax however a refund of $41,000 is owed by IRD due to being a Maori Authority and investment opportunities where the tax is paid on the Trusts behalf Whareoteriri Rahiri [0675]: Asked if the Trust can receive interest on the $41,000 Mere George: Responded – Yes in the event of time delays by IRD KEY POINTS TO QUESTIONS RAISED
Enquiry by the Trust underway to ensure rates for Te Houhou were established at the correct amount given the non- rateable areas across the block 35
A subsequent valuation of Te Houhou will be included in the next financial year reporting Last year’s valuations dropped due to the schools not included in the valuations. This year that has been included Rental income breakdowns; Schools $ 16k per month, $18k per annum HDG caravans, $400 per week 1 Lenihan Drive, Star Ltd & rental from Te Houhou makes up the balance of the rental income Contracted services related to a feasibility study for Te Houhou, and specialist advice WAITAHA CHARITABLE TRUST FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Noted is that this is the first year of operations so there is no comparative. The auditor’s opinion is that of a good financial performance.
earned income of $221k much of which came from interest received and also the allocation of the settlement funds to those Endowments. expenditure is $184k most of which is the expenses of delivering of projects. overall for the WCT has a profit of $36k. the “Main Account” is the overheads to exist such as Accounting Fees Bank Fees Audit Fees etc. It cost $12,340 to set up the trust, so that main account is operating in a deficit of $12k.
Hakaraia Endowment: earned income of $96,551. a total of $48k was spent on admin establishment, Grants etc. Expenditure is within the confines of what income has been earned so the original putea is still intact and there is a surplus of $48k. History Endowment: earned income $92k, $4k was interest and $87k of that came from settlement funds. Costs totalled 92k Break even due to attributing funding that was received for this for the Endowment therefore have apportioned it to match exactly to the expenses and deliveries of the History work. There were no overheads. income received from the Endowment can be expended to cover the overheads for the Trust like paying the Charities Commission fee or any operational costs. Social Endowment: earned $32k spent $32k, $27k of that came from original principal funds and $5k came from interest earned on those funds and that is what funded projects.
SUMMARY an overall profit of $36k. the main account was in deficit of $12k, but the income earned will cover those costs. none of the endowments principal funds have been spent. current assets have are $643k and non-current assets at $3.2m. Total assets of $3.9m offsetting that against our liabilities $12k most of it is made up of trade payables and audit fees. non-current assets show the internal transactions between winding up WRT and the funds that were transferred from TKOW. total value WCT $ 44,214 and is not a full financial year is $44,214. 36
related Party Transaction between TKOW and WCT is not an actual loan; it is an accounting standard and provides a trail of movement of cash from one trust to another.
KEY POINTS TO QUESTIONS RAISED
Clarification that Maranga Waitaha is the philosophy underpinning the Social Endowment, and is not termed within the settlement as the Maranga Waitaha Social Endowment $15k received from WCT Endowments are apportioned to administration costs Part of the principle of the History Endowment is being used for the History project Interest earned is treated as income – Deed states the Trust may use income earned to properly administer the Trust/endowments
