The University of the Witwatersrand Foundation was established by a Deed of Trust in 1978 as a registered Public Benefi t Organisation (PBO) to collect and administer donations for the benefi t of the University. A Board of Governors and Trustees appointed by the University Council manage the Wits Foundation, which is recognised as a PBO in terms of Section 30 of the Income Tax Act No 58 of 1962 as amended from time to time and operates exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. The Foundation has associated charitable entities in New York (registered as a Section 501 (c) company) and in London (Registered Charity No. 1087539) which enable donors in the USA and UK to receive tax benefi ts for their donations to the University.In January 2008, the fundraising component of the Wits Foundation separated to form the Development and Fundraising Offi ce (DFO), which now operates as a university unit.While the Foundation continues to collect, administer and manage funds, the DFO focuses on professional development activities which include fundraising, database management, research and proposal writing, in line with the University’s Fundraising Policy. The DFO and the Foundation are part of the Advancement Division, which includes Alumni Relations, Community University Partnerships, Functions and Events, and Marketing and Communications.
Tax benefi ts
All donations to the Wits Foundation are exempt from donations tax and are tax deductible in accordance with Act 58 of 1962 as amended from time to time. The University has obtained its tax exempt status under Section 10 (1) (cN) of the Income Tax Act. In accordance with Section 18A, which provides for deductions from taxable income, the Wits Foundation as a Public Benefi t Organisation is entitled to provide Tax Exemption benefi ts. Tax certifi cates are issued in accordance with the legislation for all donations received.

2011 culminated with several capital projects having moved full steam ahead to successful completion. The success of these projects is due to generous investments from our valuable donors.
The Wits Science Stadium has been built on the site of the former Charles Skeen Stadium. It retains the distinctive oval of the former athletics stadium, overlooking a magnifi cent open green space. The Stadium will provide comprehensive and leading-edge facilities for undergraduate studies in the critical fi elds of Chemistry, Geosciences, Life Sciences and Physics, and for expansion of the postgraduate and research activities.
The Fourth Quadrant which is a newly developed section of the Chamber of Mines Building on Campus West was also completed in 2011. The Fourth Quadrant has been built around the reinvented atrium, a public space at the heart of the building. This development will provide much needed infrastructure for the expansion of the Wits’ Engineering programmes. Within the completed Fourth Quadrant (and elsewhere in the building), individual sections have been named after specifi c sponsors in recognition of their valued contribution.
The Public Health Building project, located near the Wits Medical School, is also nearing completion. This energy effi cient and environmentally-friendly building will have modern landscaping and a user-friendly design that will optimise public engagement, staff interaction and innovative approaches to teaching, postgraduate training and research.
Donations
In 2011, donations to the Wits Foundation totalled R274 million (2010: R185 million). Investment income from the Wits Foundation’s Endowement Fund rose by R23 million in 2011 against R22,5 million in 2010. The fi nance costs amounted to R13 million in 2011 against R9 million in 2010. The increase in fi nance costs is due to the increase in investment management fees.
Operational Costs
The operating expenses of the Wits Foundation (which exclude the costs of the Development & Fundraising Offi ce) remain at minimum levels of R133 745 in 2011 compared to R357 875 in 2010. This is due to audit fees being lower than last year’s with an overprovision for 2010 and an under provision in 2011. The Foundation realised a net surplus, including Pooled Equity Funds of R41, 4 million compared to a surplus of R54, 6 million in 2010.
The surplus was mainly attributable to Profi t on Sale of Assets and Investment Income.
Thanks
We take this special opportunity to acknowledge your generous consideration and invaluable support. Your commitment to leaving a legacy for future generations will ensure that teaching and research at Wits continues to be relevant, rigorous, and far-sighted.
We hope that the excellent relationships that we enjoy with government, corporates, trusts and foundations will fl ourish and withstand the test of time.

The development imperatives of the contemporary era require new approaches to bring the resources of society to bear more effectively on our pressing needs. To this end, Wits University has committed itself to working more closely with government, industry and civil society to advance our shared developmental agenda. Amongst other things, we have staged workshops to generate responses to the national development plan produced by the National Planning Commission, and various quarters of the University are working with different sectors of government at national, provincial and local levels. Government’s reciprocal investment in Wits is to be found in a number of forms, but not least the infrastructure development programme that has seen a number of large projects brought to fruition this year. We’re delighted that industry continues to be a major partner in assisting the University to fulfi ll its purposes, and Wits remains the university with the largest proportion of its third-stream income derived from industry partners. This linkage with industry remains a coveted niche advantage for the University, and we like to believe that our industry partners see their relationship with Wits in similar terms. We derive great satisfaction from working increasingly closely with our civil society partners in taking forward the social leadership responsibilities of the university, both through our frequent public platforms and through more directed efforts working with our student body. In particular, our media partners play a signifi cant role in assisting us to advance these purposes.
However, our plans for the future, refl ected in the aspirations of our Vision 2022 Strategic Plan, require that we expand our pool of investors signifi cantly. Next year, therefore, we will begin work on a ten-year campaign that draws on the fact of Wits 90th birthday in 2012, but looks ahead to its centenary in 2022 and the ambitions we have for the kind of University we wish to be by then. We need to leverage to the maximum the fact of our embeddedness in the Gauteng City Region, the most powerful economic hub on the continent, and the distinctive contributions we can make to this context in partnership with government, industry and civil society. Similarly we need to exploit fully our role as a university on the African continent, and the strong footprint we already have there. Inevitably, our ambitions require that we also expand our investor base overseas, both working in our traditional support bases in the US and the UK, and further afi eld as well.
These plans have signifi cant implications for the work of the Advancement Division, and for other quarters of the University, requiring ever closer co-ordination of our efforts across this complex and diverse institution. But it is our network of investors (in their varying forms and contributions) who will be our crucial partners in assisting us to achieve these ambitions, whether it is with continuing and renewed investment, or simply the kinds of strategic advice that help us make the best of the opportunities that lie ahead in the future.
“Wits University has committed itself to working more closely with government, industry and civil society to advance our shared developmental agenda.”

If there is one Truth in the complex world of Higher Education Institutional fundraising, or more appropriately, development work, it’s our ability to be constantly “ready” for opportunities and simultaneously agile enough to respond to new initiatives. Our position in the City of Gold, an urban environment that is alive with change and challenge, is acknowledged as an advantage over similar-sized universities in South Africa. In order to leverage this advantage, the Wits Development and Fundraising Offi ce embarked on a restructuring process that has better equipped us to deal with sector-specifi c enterprises. Our new staff come with international and more varied working experience, whilst we lean on hard-won experience from our seasoned campaigners. We improve our understanding of the full extent of Wits’ entire investor community and harness Wits’ Business Intelligence capacity to work with us on strategising where the most lucrative new markets are likely to be.
It’s going to be an interesting space to watch as I welcome aboard new staff from far and wide, some from fi ne institutions, who felt that we offered them opportunity, challenge and a great learning experience along the way. I also thank the university executive for their encouragement and support in recognising that “business as usual” would never achieve our targets, and in supporting our efforts to be more professional, more strategic and more inclusive of all University projects, for the years ahead.
We live in a world of electronic communication that enjoys fast interactions, but not at the expense of a reasoned approach or a personal touch. We engage with potential investors who expect a fully costed proposal before the end of the week, and we celebrate our new Chancellor’s Annual Fund that started at last to make a profi t within 10 minutes since it went paperless! Thank you to all the staff for their trust, fi rst and foremost, and for their energy that will prove invaluable in the months ahead.
To the entire DFO team, I believe in your talents and your ability to work differently, with alacrity and with passion. I believe in our common desire to be the most professional Development team in University work in South Africa.
It’s a pleasure to work for you, and I look forward to reporting on your wonderful achievements next year.

During 2011, 151 donors supported the Chancellor’s Annual Fund with donationstotalling R520 598.
Refocus
Since its launch in 2008, the Chancellor’s Annual Fund has been an effective mechanism for our alumni to express their support for the University.
As custodians of the Fund, the DFO took time in 2011 to analyse how we could effectively grow the fund whilst lowering the costs involved in engaging with our alumni and friends. Our investigations pointed to a refocus on web based engagement and a move away from paper based communication.
Success
The 2011 iteration of the Chancellor’s Annual Fund took the form of an innovative web based campaign in which the goals of the Fund were represented via a bright and engaging online fl ash presentation. Although some postal appeals were sent out as well, these were at considerably reduced volumes.
The response to our online presentation was positive with individuals praising the originality of the campaign and our commitment to effectively managing resources. By moving towards web based communication the cost of the Chancellor’s Annual Fund was reduced signifi cantly, making 2011 the most effective year for the Fund so far in terms of net gains.

University of the Witwatersrand Foundation Annual Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2011
STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FOUNDATION BOARD
The Board of Governors is responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and the preparation and integrity of the financial statements and the related information. The auditors are responsible for reporting on the fair presentation of the financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Governors is also responsible for the Foundation’s systems of internal financial control. These are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, and adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability of the assets, and to prevent and detect misstatement and loss. Nothing has come to the attention of the Board of Governors to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures and systems has occurred during the year under review.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going-concern basis, since the Board of Governors has every reason to believe that the Foundation has adequate resources in place to continue in operation for the foreseeable future.
APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The annual financial statements, which appear on pages 18 to 37, were approved by the Board of Governors and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTTo the Board of Governors ofThe University of the Witwatersrand Foundation
Report on the fi nancial statements
We have audited the accompanying annual fi nancial statements of The University of the Witwatersrand Foundation which comprise the statement of fi nancial position as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in foundation funds and cash fl ow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory notes as set out on pages 18 to 37.
Board of Governor’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsThe Board of Governors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fi nancial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of fi nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements, and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used, and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
OpinionIn our opinion, the annual fi nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects the fi nancial position of the University of the Witwatersrand Foundation as of 31 December 2011 and its fi nancial performance and its cash fl ows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The University of the Witwatersrand Foundation was established by Deed of Trust on 6 April 1978 as a non-profit Trust, for the express purpose of collecting and administering donations for the benefit of the University.
The Foundation’s affairs are managed by a Board of Governors consisting of Trustees appointed by the University Council in accordance with the Deed of Trust and supported by Governors appointed by the Trustees.
The Foundation is recognised as a public benefit organisation in terms of section 30 of the Income Tax Act No 58 of 1962, as amended, and operates exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below and are consistent, in all material respects, with those applied in the previous year, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Reporting Standards, has been applied in preparing these financial statements. These financial statements are the first Wits Foundation financial statements to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The annual financial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis of accounting, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities.
The foundation has applied IFRS 1, First-time adoption of International Financial Standards, to provide a starting point for the reporting under International Reporting and Accounting Standards. On principle these standards have been applied retrospectively and the 2009 comparative contained in these financial statements do not differ from those published in the financial statements published for the year ended 31 December 2009.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.
International Financial Reporting Standards and amendments effective for the first time for this year
The following statements and amendments became mandatory for the Foundation’s accounting period beginning on 1 January 2011:
• IAS 24(AC 126) (amendment) ‘Related party disclosures’.
• IAS 1 (AC 101) (amendment) “Presentation of Financial Statements”

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSACCOUNTING POLICIES 2.2 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised as follows:
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking account of the principal outstanding and the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the Foundation.
Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
Investments are recognised when transfer of the instrument occurs.
Donor contributions received are recognised on a cash received basis.
2.3 Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they arise. Balances denominated in a foreign currency and outstanding at year end are translated at year end exchange rates.
2.4 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation.
At each statement of financial position date, the Foundation reviews the carrying amount of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount for an individual asset, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under the standard.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase under that other standard.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.5 Financial instruments
Financial instruments carried on the statement of fi nancial position include cash and cash equivalents, available-for–sale investments, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The classifi cation of fi nancial instruments depends on the purpose for which the fi nancial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classifi cation at initial recognition.
Financial instruments are initially recognised when the Foundation becomes party to the contractual terms of the instruments and are measured at fair value, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these instruments are measured as set out in the applicable accounting policies.
Financial assets (or a portion thereof) are de-recognised when the Foundation realises the rights to the
benefi ts specifi ed in the contract, the rights expire or the Foundation surrenders or otherwise loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the fi nancial asset.
On de-recognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the fi nancial asset and the consideration
received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income.
Financial liabilities (or a portion thereof) are de-recognised when the obligation specifi ed in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. On de-recognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the fi nancial liability, including related unamortised costs and amount paid for it is included in the statement of comprehensive income.
The fair value of fi nancial instruments traded in an active fi nancial market is measured at the applicable quoted prices. The fair value of fi nancial instruments not traded in an organised fi nancial market, is determined using a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risk existing at statement of fi nancial position date, including independent appraisals and discounted cash fl ow methods.
The carrying amounts of fi nancial assets and liabilities with maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair value.
Where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists for recognised fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities, and there is an intention to settle the liability and realise the asset simultaneously, or to settle on a net basis, all related fi nancial effects are offset.
2 .6 Investments
Investments are classifi ed as available-for-sale fi nancial assets. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the statement of fi nancial position date.
Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Foundation commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the University has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are subsequently carried at fair value.

University of the Witwatersrand Foundation Annual Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2011
NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.6 Investments (continued)
Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of available for sale financial assets are recognised directly in reserves in the fair value fund.
Interest and dividend income are taken to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
2.7 Loans, receivables and prepayments
Loans, receivables and prepayments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of loans and receivables is made where it is established that the Foundation will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the loans and receivables.
The amount of the provision is the difference between the assets’ carrying value and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The carrying value of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Foundation considers loans and receivables impaired as set out in the Notes to the Annual Financial Statements.
2.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short- term highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts.

15. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Foundation is exposed to a variety of financial risks: Market risk (including foreign currency risk, cash flow and interest rate risk, price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.
The Investment and Finance Committee identifies, evaluates and co-ordinates the management of the above mentioned risks. These are reviewed regularly for continuing relevance and effectiveness. The Investment and Finance Committee reports to the Board of Governors.
The Foundation varies its investment philosophy depending on the term of the instruments and the risk profile. To this end four portfolios have been established, with investments in bonds, equities and money market portfolios. The portfolios have specific investment and return on investment mandates, which are monitored and adjusted where necessary by the Investment and Finance Committee.
The fund managers report to the Committee on a quarterly basis.

At 31 December 2011, if the USD, British Sterling, and Euro had strengthened by 10% against the Rand with all other variables held constant, the value as at year end would have been R11 452 790 (2010:R3 580 042) higher, mainly as a result of a Rand increase in the carrying value of the USD and British Sterling denominated investments. If the USD and British Sterling had weakened by 10% against the Rand with all other variables held constant, the value as at year end would have been R11 452 790 (2010: R3 580 043) lower, mainly as a result of a Rand decrease in the fair value of USD and British Sterling denominated investments.
Price Risk
The Foundation is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Foundation and classifi ed on the statement of fi nancial position as available-for-sale investments. The Foundation is not directly exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Foundation diversifi es its portfolio. Diversifi cation of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Investment and Finance Committee.

At 31 December 2011, if the FTSE/JSE CAPI index increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant and all the University’s equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation with the index, equity would have been R39 383 346(2010: R42 448 626) higher/lower. Due to the unpredictability of equity market returns, a general indicative percentage of 10% is used to highlight the changes in market value on equity instruments.
Cash Flow and Interest Rate Risk
The Foundation has no signifi cant interest bearing liabilities and the donation income and operating cash fl ows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. Therefore no formal interest rate risk management policy exists.

If the interest rate had been 50 basis points higher/lower, as an indication, the interest earned would have been R61 212 (2010: R71 726) higher/lower. The increase/decrease of 50 basis points in the interest rate was based on a management estimate as the SA Reserve Bank has not changed the repurchase rate during the last financial year.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Foundation if a member or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Potential concentrations of credit risk consist mainly of short-term cash and cash equivalent investments.
The approach to the management of investments that is followed by using two investment managers spreads the investment risk. Funds are invested in four separate portfolios.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk to the Foundation is that it will not be able to meet it’s financial obligations as they fall due.
The Foundation has minimised liquidity risk as shown by its substantial cash and cash equivalents.
The table below summarises the Foundation’s exposure to liquidity risk. Included in the table are the financial assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by the earlier of contractual repricing or maturity dates.
