It is my pleasure as Chairperson to report on behalf of the Board on another very successful year at the Otago Museum. This report attempts to capture the many successes and future intentions our team have been working on. As a Board, we take great satisfaction in the progress the Museum has made this year.
This progress has not come about by accident. Last year we focused on the revision of our strategic plan following the arrival of our new Museum Director. The outcome of this process, Te Ara Hou – The Road Ahead, was a clear roadmap with significant input from our stakeholders. This financial year has seen the start of this document coming to life. We have continued to look critically at how we operate and, in line with our new strategic plan, have
completed reorganisations within our teams to reflect our key areas of focus. We have continued to invest in highly-skilled staff to empower these areas. Our financial results reflect a successful balance of investment and sensible management, allowing investment in our key development areas.
As an institution, we have worked hard at building partnership relationships with a large number of organisations. This report demonstrates the success of these efforts and positions the Museum strongly for future development. These relationships are already translating into new opportunities to build on the skills we have.
Like all institutions, we continue to operate in a challenging financial environment at present. We greatly appreciate the support of our contributing local authorities: Central Otago District Council, Clutha District Council, Dunedin City Council and Waitaki District Council. We are planning to operate in a similar environment for the foreseeable future and are focusing on strategies to produce positive outcomes within our resource constraints.

CHAIRPERSON’S FOREWORDOTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD
December 2015 is very exciting. It marks the start of a major advance in our ability to connect with our communities. This development comes on the back of several very successful exhibitions staged this year. The great thing about these exhibitions has been the use of our own collection and the leadership and creativity shown by our staff in bringing them to life.
I would like to reflect my thanks for the work of the management team and all staff at the Otago Museum. Their commitment and dedication to the institution is significant and most appreciated.
My appreciation also goes to my fellow Board members. The Board has worked well during the year and addressed some major decisions in a professional manner. I appreciate the energy and commitment they bring to the Museum.
We are looking forward to a very positive future for the Otago Museum.
Graham CrombieChairpersonOtago Museum Trust Board
DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR
To me there’s one verb that best describes the Otago Museum this past year; that verb is invest.
We have invested in our people. Following a period of significant change at the Museum, we invested time and effort in ensuring our staff structure is better aligned with the Museum’s strategic goals.
This year the Collections team has almost doubled in size. We now have more staff working on our collection than at any other point in the Museum’s 147-year history.
But it’s not just about numbers. In line with our strategic plan Te Ara Hou – the Road Ahead, we have actively recruited staff with strategically important skills and expertise. We have appointed the Museum’s first ever Curator Māori, and, after a decade with no conservation staff at the Museum, we now employ two full time Conservators working on our collection.
The redevelopment of Discovery World and the opening of the planetarium necessitated another strategic investment. We established a new Science Engagement team whose focus is to ensure that visitors who come to Discovery World Tropical Forest and the planetarium have world-class experiences that inspire them to take more of an interest in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
The establishment of this team has opened up new avenues for partnership with the University of Otago, Otago Polytechnic and the New Zealand International Science Festival, which has resulted in the Museum’s involvement in nationally-important science engagement activities such as the Otago Participatory Science Platform pilot and outreach for the Dodd Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies.
Reading this report, I hope you will agree
with me when I say it’s been an outstandingly successful year for the Otago Museum, with many highlights.
I for one will never forget the beautiful morning at Ōtākou Marae when we welcomed 250 colleagues from across New Zealand who were attending the 2015 Museums Aotearoa conference. Watching the sun rise on an astonishingly beautiful Otago Peninsula morning will long linger in the memories of everyone lucky enough to experience this amazing event.
In 2014–15, the Museum has made huge progress towards the goals outlined in last year’s strategic plan. That progress could not have happened without the collective efforts of our Board, our staff and our volunteers, and I’d like to put on record my personal thanks for their incredible efforts this past year.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the significant support the Otago Museum has received from Central Otago, Clutha, Dunedin and Waitaki District Councils; their ongoing support is vital to the success of this institution.

GOAL ONE:A WORLD-CLASS COLLECTION
The Collections and Research (C&R) team is now the largest it has been in the Museum’s 147-year history.
During the past financial year, Robert Morris (Director, Collections and Research), Nyssa Mildwaters (Conservation Manager), Kane Fleury (Collection Officer, Natural Science) and Lisa Yeats (Conservator) joined the team.
Trudi Webster and Ellen Sima were both made part-time Assistant Curators in Natural Science, and Dr Carolina Loch was appointed
COLLECTIONS
THE SECRETS OF DISPLAY
part-time Natural Science Research Officer. Adding these new roles gives the entire C&R team increased scope for work, research and interpretation of the collection.
C&R undertook a full review of the Museum’s collections and conservation policies to ensure that collection management, development and accessmeet international standards.
The Otago Museum Collections Policy 2015–2020 was approved by the Trust Board in February 2015. It ensures collection items
Collection Officer Jamie Metzger created a complex two-case foyer exhibit, The Secrets of Display, as part of the 2015 Dunedin iD Fashion Week, and to continue supporting the Museum’s goal of sharing the collection with the public.
The exhibit featured an elaborate 19th century princess line dress from the storeroom and broke down the process of preparing such a fragile object for display. The step-by-step explanation showed how a mannequin is taken from bare canvas to lavish model.
It fascinated both visitors and media, and served as a visually arresting reminder of how much unseen work goes into preserving and displaying our history.
are acquired, documented, maintained, utilised and disposed of within professional standards and that all relevant legal and ethical obligations are met.
Conservation Manager Nyssa Mildwaters developed the Conservation and Collections Care Policy, which was approved by the Trust Board in June 2015. It outlines the standards and practices applied to all collection items and balances the long-term preservation of items with allowing access for research, interpretation and display.

Natural Science team members Cody Fraser, Kane Fleury and Carolina Loch digitised the Museum’s entire spider wasp (family Pompilidae) collection in preparation for the research visit of Tokyo Metropolitan University entomologist Dr Akira Shimizu.
The team transcribed the field data from 12,600 tiny labels into the digital database and gave each of these predatory spider-hunting wasps new individual accession numbers.
SPIDER WASP DIGITISATIONThe digitisation project makes the spider wasps more accessible to researchers like Dr Shimizu who are interested in studying the physical specimens and associated field data.
This insect family represents a major strength in the Museum’s New Zealand entomology collection.
Over 80 people were shown through the Museum’s storerooms this year on the Best Dressed tours during the 2015 Dunedin iD Fashion Week.
Collection Officer Jamie Metzger led four fully-booked excursions through the textiles collection, which received high praise in Otago Daily Times and The Star reviews. Metzger was asked by the Southern Institute of Technology to schedule a fifth tour for a class who were visiting for iD Fashion Week.
People were wait-listed for each tour, and many showed in up in the Museum foyer on the day, hoping for last-minute cancellations.
The success of Best Dressed reinforced the wide interest the public has in the collection, and the Museum is committed to developing new opportunities to enable access through community-related events.
BEST DRESSED TOURS
Visitor comment:“I’ve been living 1 year
in Australia and I’ve been travelling 3 months
around New Zealand. This is one of the best
museums I’ve ever been. This place is awesome.
Keep going”.
The new Conservation team began a productive year with the appointment of Conservation Manager Nyssa Mildwaters in August 2014 and ended with the appointment of Conservator Lisa Yeats in June 2015.
A conservation lab was established and 2,135 objects in the Museum’s collection were assessed and/or treated. The conservation work to be done on these objects was evaluated and a comprehensive plan for conservation to 2020 was developed. Mildwaters established links within the community through talks at University of Otago departments and the University of the Third Age. She offered support and services to regional museums, and connected with Toitū Otago Settlers Museum and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery for disaster planning and resource sharing.
CONSERVATION UPDATESMildwaters and Yeats will continue to promote the Museum’s conservation lab through a new website page, social media and education programmes with schools and the University of Otago.
They have also undertaken contract conservation work on external public and private collections, and look forward to offering such services in the future.

Marine biologist Dr Caroline Loch has taken up a part-time Research Officer role in the Natural Science team.
The role was created to support and enrich the Museum’s marine mammal skeletal collection and to demonstrate the valuable research potential of museum collections.
One of Dr Loch’s research projects involves an unusual Cuvier’s beaked whale skull. Usually toothless, this specimen has small vestigial teeth which Dr Loch is examining for information about the toothed ancestry of beaked whales.
Other research involves bone and dental diseases and trauma in marine mammals from the Museum collection; it will provide
NATURAL SCIENCE COLLECTION RESEARCHinformation on the health and conservation status of dolphins and fur seals inhabiting our coasts.
Researchers Stefanie Grosser and Nic Rawlence from Professor John Walter’s laboratory at the University of Otago’s Department of Zoology have been focusing on the morphology and genetics of yellow-eyed and little blue penguins.
Their research uses samples from collections around southern New Zealand to examine the impact of human arrival on New Zealand’s coastal species.
Rawlence’s research revealed that the waitaha penguin was extinct by 1500 because of hunting and habitat loss after
Polynesian settlement. He also found evidence of yellow-eyed penguins arriving and colonising the vacant niche left by the waitaha’s extinction.
Grosser is using similar methods to determine the colonisation timing of an Australian lineage of little blue penguins. They only occur in Otago and Southland and are distinct to the older New Zealand lineage found north of this range.
The Museum’s modern collection and archaeological midden material were particularly valuable to both researchers.
The Otago Museum’s Humanities collection continues to be a valuable resource for researchers in Dunedin and around the world, with 55 access requests fielded this year.
A 3,500-year-old cuneiform inscription in the Museum’s collection was translated
HUMANITIES COLLECTION RESEARCHand identified as one of only five known inscriptions of Hašmar-Galšu, a ruler of the ancient Sumerian city of Nippur.
The translation was made by Assyriologists Wayne Horowitz and Peter Zilberg of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and Larry Stillman of Monash University in Melbourne.
Both are part of the Cuneiform in Australia and New Zealand project, which aims to translate all cuneiform inscriptions in known New Zealand and Australian collections.
Dunedin Landcare Research scientist Dr Priscilla Wehi used fur strands from a kurī (Māori dog) cloak from the Museum’s collection in her research into their extinction, which occurred around 150 years ago.
MĀORI COLLECTION RESEARCHKurī were brought to New Zealand by Māori for food, clothing, hunting and companionship. As an important part of the early Māori economy, information about their extinction could help inform our understanding of human-ecological relationships.
Dr Wehi found the Museum’s cloak particularly useful in her research because it came from a known location, which is not always the case with such taoka in museums. Dr Wehi’s research was profiled in the Otago Daily Times and the New Zealand Herald.

This exhibition explores the moments of intersection in the lives of renowned artist Ralph Hotere and fellow artists through his personal ceramics collection. Over 70 artworks are displayed as testaments to the connections that permeated Hotere’s personal and professional life.
Barry Brickell, master ceramicist and close friend of Hotere, attended the opening of the exhibition, in which some of his works featured. He thought visitors would appreciate the opportunity to touch the ceramics in the displays, so created four touchable tiles, which were added to the exhibition.
Intersections received a review in Art New Zealand’s June issue and was entered into the Designers Institute of New Zealand’s Best Awards in the Best Spatial Design category.
INTERSECTIONS: CERAMICS FROM RALPH HOTERE’S PERSONAL COLLECTION
The Museum’s summer exhibition, developed by the in-house exhibitionteam, drew more than 40,000 visitors over its four and a half months.
The exhibition featured over 800 pinned and wet specimens from the Museum’s collection, and showcased the amazing and often peculiar characteristics of bugs.
From navigating by the stars to super strength to near-perfect camouflage, the adaptations bugs have evolved over millennia are often underappreciatedor overlooked.
BUGS: THE MEGA WORLD OF MINIBEASTSBugs aimed to challenge preconceived notions and shine a spotlight on these misunderstood minibeasts while showing how important they are to our environment, our economy and our everyday lives.
Eighty-eight percent of visitors surveyed rated the exhibition good to excellent. The interactive bug gym was a particularly popular attraction throughout the exhibition. It was developed in collaboration with Otago Polytechnic and tested visitors in relation to the abilities of various bugs.

This touring exhibition was curated by the UK-based Arts Catalyst and commissioned by the British Council. It highlighted the interplay between art and science in Antarctic architecture.
Models, architectural drawings, photographs and films gave visitors insight into the ingenuity required to build in one of Earth’s harshest environments. Ice Lab also featured cutting-edge research taking place in Antarctica, from collecting 4.5 billion year old meteorites to drilling ice cores that tell the story of Earth’s climate history.
The Southern Regions Sled Dog Club performed a live demonstration to open the exhibition, taking visitors for mini mushes through the Museum Reserve. The hard-working dogs succeeded in stopping scores of passers-by and gained quite a few new fans.
ICE LAB: NEW SCIENCE AND ARCHITECTURE IN ANTARCTICA
Gifts and Legacies celebrated the stories of over 45 Museum benefactors, including Ernest Shackleton and Sir Walter Buller. It was illustrated by objects donated to both the humanities and natural science collections, including kimono donated by Dunedin’s sister city of Otaru, Japan, a shark-bitten surfboard and a collection of deer foetuses.
The Museum produced a limited-run catalogue to accompany the exhibition, featuring all of the benefactors from the exhibition.
The publication also included information about responsible collecting, growing the Museum’s collection and how to donate. It was produced in-house, the first time such a venture had been undertaken since The Big Ice in 2006.
A line of merchandise based on donors’ objects, including 3D-printed jewellery, T-shirts and cards, was sold in the Museum Shop to complement the exhibition.

The Otago Museum hosted a new pop-up exhibition called the Sandpit, which was developed by Dr Jenny Rock at the University of Otago’s Centre for Science Communication and built by workSpace at the Otago Polytechnic. This versatile, interactive space is used to communicate contemporary scientific issues.
The first display in this space was Look Beneath the Surface, curated by Masters student Ali Rogers.
It showcased the work being done to look after the Otago shoreline through the the New Zealand Marine Science Centre’s Marine Meter Squared project.
SCICOM SANDPITMM² is a citizen science project wherein members of the community survey a section of the beach, looking at the species that are present and their abundance.
Participants enter their count into an online database that collates the information, readying it for scientists and organisations to assess and use to analyse the health of the shoreline.

EDUCATIONThe Education team, now part of Collections and Research, had another busy andsuccessful year, exceeding all targets. Attendance at LEOTC programmes was 222% of their total target.
An extremely successful second half of the year accounted for nearly two-thirds of school visits, which is most likely due to the popularity of the Bugs: the Mega World of Minibeasts exhibition.
The team has also been collaborating with the Methodist Mission in Dunedin on potential programmes for their students. The Museum and the Mission are in talks with the Ministry for Social Development for funding, and aim to begin delivering the programmes together during the final school term of 2015.
The Education team is also looking into ways to increase the number of visits from Southland and regional schools in the next financial year, as these showed the lowest visitation numbers.
Education Manager Kimberley Beckett’s Unlocking Curious Minds initiative received $20,000 in funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, one of many projects which promise an exciting year of outreach to come.
19
COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS The Programmes and Events team continued to develop popular programmes through collaboration with local and national organisations.
These collaborations are a vital part of building an outward-looking and inclusive culture, and strengthening the Museum’s relationships within Otago.
The Museum worked with the University of Otago on a number of programmes. The Flutter concert featured the worldwide debut of a piece inspired by the Tropical Forest from Mozart Fellow Jeremy Mayall, while the Department of Botany supported the reading of Jack’s Garden as part of the spring storytelling series.
The Royal Society of New Zealand and the Museum hosted free public talks from national and international speakers. Forensic pathologist Dr Phil Manning investigated the link between dinosaurs and space shuttles, Professor Atholl Anderson spoke about the first great phase of oceanic colonisation as detailed in his book Tangata Whenua: An Illustrated History and Dr Martin Reyners posed the question How do out tectonic plates lock together?.
The free talk Aurora australis: beauty while you sleep was moved to Foysyth Barr Stadium due to public interest and a second talk scheduled. Both talks were fully booked with a total attendance of over 900.
Heritage New Zealand and the Museum collaborated on a very successful lecture and workshop series to complement the Heritage Lost and Found: Our Changing Cityscape exhibition. Local experts spoke on a variety of topics, from conserving our built heritage to researching your own home.

SURVIVING CHUNUK BAIR: H D SKINNER AT GALLIPOLIFormer Otago Museum Director H D Skinner was one of over 24,000 ANZAC soldiers injured during the Gallipoli campaign in WWI.
He was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for carrying an urgent message to headquarters under heavy fire during the Battle of Chunuk Bair.
The new Surviving Chunuk Bair: H D Skinner at Gallipoli display will immerse viewers in his experiences of the battlefield through the items he used, the images he collected, the medals he received and the letters sent to friends and family in New Zealand.
The display opens in the People of the World Gallery on 7 August 2015.

GLAM IN DUNEDINOver 230 gallery, library, archive and museum (GLAM) professionals gathered at the Otago Museum in May 2015 for the annual Museums Aotearoa conference. The fully-booked, three-day event included mini conferences, breakout sessions and talks from keynote speakers Dr Phil Manning and the Right Honourable Maggie Barry, Minister of Culture and Heritage.
Events also took place at Toitū Otago Settlers Museum, the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Olveston Historic Home and the Hocken Collections. The 2015 conference was educational, inspiring and a true showcase of all Dunedin has to offer.
STRONG START TO SCIENCE ENGAGEMENT The new Science Engagement team, created part-way through the financial year, has had a strong start.
The First Flight programme in the Tropical Forest saw an 81% increase in attendance from the last financial year. This can be partly attributed to the additional daily show now offered on weekends and holidays.
The Best Science Show in the History of the World Ever! debuted to packed theatres, necessitating a move to a larger venue on more than one occasion to accommodate the number of visitors.
The next year promises to be even busier, with the addition of the planetarium and its shows, and the continuation and expansion of the current offerings in Discovery World and Tropical Forest.
21
GOAL THREE:BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY
Education Manager Kimberley Beckett was awarded a $20,000 grant from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment for the science engagement proposal she submitted to their Unlocking Curious Minds initiative.
Her project, A Family Science and Technology Experience, will bring hands-on science explorations and investigations to local and regional schools. The free, on-site events require no pre-existing science knowledge, which Beckett hopes will engage a range of children and families who might not usually be reached withsuch a programme.
The Museum is involved in two other initiatives that received funding as part of MBIE’s Unlocking Curious Minds.
These are Lab in a Box: Taking Science to the Country with Associate Professor Peter
A busy year saw 219 functions booked throughout the Museum venues.
Growing the wedding and meetings market is a strong focus, and an exciting new venue will become available in December with the opening of the planetarium. The immersive, interactive gallery leading into the planetarium will bring the total number of Museum venues to eight.
FUNDING FOR SCIENCE PROJECTS
MUSEUM VENUES
Dearden at the University of Otago and Illuminating New Zealand with Associate Professor Cather Simpson at the University of Auckland.
All three initiatives fall in line with the Museum’s goal of increasing science engagement on a local and national level, and establishing links within the community and academia.
The Participatory Science Platform initiative was identified in the Science in Society strategic plan, A Nation of Curious Minds.
Otago was selected as one of three regions to pilot a programme where contestable funds, support and scientific expertise will be made available to community groups, schools, kura, local rūnaka, businesses and other organisations who may have a research idea that they need help bringing to life.
The Otago initiative is a collaboration between the Otago Museum, the University of Otago, the Otago Polytechnic, Ngāi Tahu and the New Zealand International Science Festival. The collaboration (Otago Science Into Action) will be led by the Otago Museum and received a $150,000 MBIE grant.
The ground floor of the Museum welcomed a fresh look with the relocation of the Info Desk and Shop entrance.
The Shop received a new coat of paint and a rearranged layout to better display its offerings.
The Café’s new menus, labels logo and paint job have been a hit with customers.
NEW LOOK FOR CAFÉ, SHOP AND FOYER
The Café was nominated in the
Otago Daily Times’ search for the
best cup of coffee in the South in July 2014.

The Museum was awarded Qualmark Endorsed Visitor Activity status on 30 October 2014.
The Qualmark evaluation looked at all facets of the institution, including customer satisfaction, staff training and satisfaction, heritage and cultural awareness, health and safety and business operations.
QUALMARK AND ENVIROGOLD STATUS The restoration of the H D Skinner Annex was especially praised in the report, citing business and environmental sustainability.
The Museum also received EnviroGold status, the highest level achievable, as part of the same evaluation.
As a part of its commitment to business and environmental sustainability, the Otago Museum invested in a KONE 300 Monospace Fure lift.
NEW ECO-FRIENDLY LIFTThis faster, greener lift uses a quarter of the energy of the old hydraulic lift, reducing the estimated lifetime electricity costs from $42,000 to $10,400.
A regenerative drive creates electricity as the lift descends and energy-efficient LED bulbs reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions by 75%.

GOAL FOUR:AN OUTWARD-LOOKING AND INCLUSIVE CULTURE
The Otago Museum’s participation in the Museums Aotearoa annual survey, which provides the museum sector with better information about its visitors, provides a national benchmark that allows the Museum to view its results in a wider museum context.
OTAGO MUSEUM PERFORMS WELL IN NATIONAL SURVEY
Results for the Otago Museum showed that in the 17–22 March survey period, visitor satisfaction was at 87%, 4% higher than the national average.
A diverse range of visitors attended the Museum, with a particular skew towards people with an undergraduate qualification
The Otago Community Trust continued its support of the Museum with a $100,000 grant towards the planetarium and stage one of the Discovery World redevelopment. A particular focus for the Trust is to support organisations encouraging young people to look to their futures.
The Discovery World redevelopment plans to engage visitors through hands-on interactives, immersive experiences and learning opportunities.
SUPPORTING SCIENCE ENGAGEMENTThe Barclay Trust gifted the Museum $45,000 to be used towards interactive exhibits within this new centre for science engagement. Nerissa Barber of the Dr Marjorie Barclay Trust visited the Museum with her husband David Morriss as part of a tour of Dunedin institutions who benefit from the Trust’s generosity.
While at the Museum they attended a media launch announcing the greenlighting of the planetarium and Discovery World
(21%), which corresponds to the national data.
The 2015 survey showed the Museum is reaching its target audience, with 49% of visitors from Dunedin, a further 14% from the Otago region, 12% from elsewhere in New Zealand, and 26% from overseas.
FUTURE COLLABORATIONS2014–2015 has been a great year of collaboration for the Museum.
Two of the exhibitions scheduled for the 2015–2016 financial year, Who Cared? Otago Nurses in WWI and Hākui: Women of Kāi Tahu, have seen the Museum work closely with external groups.
The Museum is collaborating with staff and students at Otago Polytechnic School of Design to create Who Cared? Otago Nurses in WWI. The exhibition is based on the historical novel Lives We Leave Behind by Dr Maxine Alterio.Third year communication design students are working to develop the exhibition as part of their coursework, with support and guidance from Museum staff.
Hākui: Women of Kāi Tahu is scheduled to open in November 2015. The Museum has consulted closely with rūnaka to guide the development and execution of the exhibition and related functions and programmes.
redevelopment project, giving the trustees an understanding of the Museum’s future.
The Dodd-Walls Centre for Quantum and Photonic Technologies has appointed the Museum to deliver their science outreach programmes, contributing $65,000to support an Outreach Coordinator and develop science interactives that engage people with light and physics.

A new Health and Safety reform bill is expected to pass this year. The Museum’s proactive Health and Safety policies already in place ensure that the organisation is well-prepared for the legislative changes.
HEALTH AND SAFETY AWARENESSThe Health and Safety Committee have ensured that Health and Safety awareness permeates all aspects of work at the Museum.
All employees are trained on induction. Refresher courses ensure full and up-to-date knowledge of legislation and guidelines.
Health and Safety briefings are presented in staff forums and updates are communicated via the Museum intranet.
A new Health and Safety plan has been written for the coming year and will continue to support this active and fully-engaged mindset in the future.
The Trust Board approved the budget for a new planetarium in December 2014, after the management team demonstrated it was viable and had community support.
Project Manager Margot Devereux has had a busy six months. The planetarium dome and projectors were ordered from Evans and Sutherland in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; contractors and consultants were hired; a consent application was approved by the Dunedin City Council; and demolition began. Construction work started in June 2015, and the planetarium is anticipated to open in early December 2015.
The Museum hired Oana Jones as Full Dome Producer in May 2015. Her role is to produce and animate shows for the planetarium. The first show, Mārama ā-whetū, shares the
PLANETARIUM AND DISCOVERYWORLD REDEVELOPMENT
Māori myths and legends associated with the southern night skies and tells the story of Polynesian navigation to Aotearoa.Stage 1 of the Discovery World redevelopment includes a redesign of
the space adjacent to the planetarium into an immersive digital gallery. This will be delivered by the Wellington-based Gibson Group.
Museum staff travelled around the world and brought back new skills, knowledge and ideas to continue the Museum’s development.
Curator, Natural Science Emma Burns travelled to Thailand to work with and learn from master taxidermist Eirik Granqvist.
Burns also connected with professionals and researchers in Thailand and across the world. She shared some of the Museum’s collection management techniques in presentations to staff at the Thailand Natural History Museum as they continue to develop collection best practices. Burns is excited to practice her
LEARNING ABROAD
Since introducing the volunteer programme, eight new volunteers have been recruited to assist with the Museum collection.
VOLUNTEERS WELCOMEDVolunteer work ranged from helping with exhibitions such as Bugs: the Mega World of Minibeasts, to more specific tasks like working on the Natural Science elephant seal project.
preparation and taxidermy skills, and aims to apply her new knowledge to the specimens in the Museum’s collection.
Full Dome Producer Oana Jones and Developer, Systems and Interactive Media Andrew Charlton travelled to Evans and Sutherland’s headquarters in Salt Lake City to train on the new planetarium’s software. The Digistar 5 system is one of the most advanced systems available for digital planetariums. Jones and Charlton are eager to reveal its capabilities to visitors with the opening of the planetarium in December 2015.
All new volunteer opportunities are listed on the Otago Museum website, and interested parties can apply via the online portal.

OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity The Otago Museum Trust Board (“the Museum”) is a special purpose local authority constituted under the Otago Museum Trust Board Act, 1996. The Otago Museum Trust Board administers the Otago Museum, which is a non-profit making permanent institution, founded by the people of Otago for the service and development of their community with a particular responsibility for the natural and scientific heritage of the Otago region. The Museum has designated itself as a public benefit entity (PBE) for reporting purposes. Statement of Compliance These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP. They comply with Tier 2 PBE (RDR) accounting standards on the basis the Museum is not considered publically accountable or large with expenditure under $30 million per annum. These financial statements are the first financial statements presented in accordance with the new PBE accounting standards. All available disclosure concessions have been applied. The material adjustments arising on transition to the new PBE accounting standards are explained in Note 25. Basis of Preparation The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Tier 2 PBE accounting standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for heritage assets and the revaluation of certain financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. Heritage assets are valued as per Note 1, Property Plant and Equipment, Heritage Assets. Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and the accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. New Zealand dollars are the Museum’s functional and presentation currency. The following accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of results and financial position have been applied:

OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and GST. Local Authority Levy Revenue Local Authority Levy revenue is recognised when it is levied. Other Revenue Revenue from services rendered is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The stage of completion at balance date is assessed based on the value of services performed to date as a percentage of the total services to be performed. Grants are recognised as revenue when they become receivable unless there is an obligation in substance to return the funds if conditions of the grant are not met. If there is such an obligation, the grants are initially recorded as grants received in advance and recognised as revenue when conditions of the grant are satisfied. Where a physical asset is gifted to or acquired by the Museum for nil consideration or at a subsidised cost, the asset is recognised at fair value and the difference between the consideration provided and fair value of the asset is recognised as revenue. The fair value of donated goods is determined as follows: Some services within the Museum are performed by volunteers. These volunteer services are not recognised as revenue or expenditure by the Museum. Dividends are recognised when the entitlement to the dividends is established. Interest revenue is recognised on an accrual basis. Leasing Finance Leases Leases which effectively transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item are classified as finance leases, whether or not title is eventually transferred. At the commencement of the lease term, finance leases where the Museum is the lessee are recognised as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position at the lower of the fair value of the leased item or the present value of the minimum lease payments. The finance charge is charged to the surplus or deficit over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. The amount recognised as an asset is depreciated over its useful life. If there is no reasonable certainty as to whether the Museum will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and its useful life. Operating Leases Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item are classified as operating leases. Payments made under these leases are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised in the surplus or deficit as a reduction of rental expense spread on a straight line basis over the lease term.

OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont. Taxation The Museum is exempt from income tax in accordance with Section CW39 of the Income Tax Act 2007. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income tax. Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. Where GST is not recoverable as an input tax, it is recognised as part of the related asset or expense. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the IRD is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. The net GST paid to, or received from, the IRD, including the GST relating to investing and financing activities, is classified as a net operating cash flow in the statement of cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of GST. 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 with original maturities of 3 months or less. Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Museum’s Statement of Financial Position when the Museum becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instrument. The Museum is party to financial instruments as part of its normal operations. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents (including bank overdraft), trade and other receivables, other financial assets, trade and other payables and borrowings. The relevant accounting policies are stated under separate headings. Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss which are initially valued at fair value. (i) Financial Assets Financial Assets are classified into the following specified categories: ‘available-for-sale’, and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The effective interest method, referred to below, is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest revenue over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the interest rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Available-for-Sale Financial Assets Equity securities held by the Museum are classified as being available-for-sale due to the fact that they are all tradable on public markets and are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined in the manner described later in this note. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in the available-for-sale revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses which are recognised directly in the Statement of Financial Performance. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the available-for-sale revaluation reserve is included in the Statement of Financial Performance for the period. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance when the Museum’s right to receive payments is established.
67
OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont. Fair Value Estimation The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Museum is the current bid price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Museum uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term investment and debt instruments held. Foreign Currency Foreign currency transactions (including those for which forward exchange contracts are held) are translated into NZ dollars, being the functional currency, using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Museum’s surplus or deficit. Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from the Museum’s operational activities. The Museum does not hold or issue derivate financial instruments for trading purposes. The Museum has not adopted hedge accounting. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each balance date with the resulting gain or loss recognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. The full fair value of the forward foreign exchange derivative is classified as current if the contract is due for settlement within 12 months of balance date. Otherwise, foreign exchange derivatives are classified as non-current. Loans and Receivables Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate. Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. An allowance for doubtful debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Museum will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the allowance is expensed in the Statement of Financial Performance. Impairment of Financial Assets Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Statement of Financial Position date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance. With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of Financial Performance to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date of impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

(ii) Financial Liabilities Trade and Other Payables Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Museum becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis with an appropriate allowance for obsolescence and deterioration. Inventories acquired through non-exchange transactions are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Property, Plant and Equipment The Museum has the following classes of property, plant and equipment:
Operational Assets and Heritage Assets Operational Assets
Operational assets include land, buildings, plant and equipment, motor vehicles, office furniture and equipment. Cost/Valuation Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Additions The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to the Museum and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Work in progress is recognised at cost less impairment and is not depreciated. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. In most instances, an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised at cost. Where an asset is acquired through a non-exchange transaction, or for a nominal cost, it is recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated as detailed below: Expenditure incurred to maintain these assets at full operating capability is charged to the Statement of Financial Performance in the year incurred.
Operational Assets Rate Land Nil Buildings 3% S.L. - 18% D.V. Cafe Equipment 19.2% - 30% D.V. Computer Equipment 18% - 67% D.V. Emergency Response Team Equipment 18% D.V. Furniture, Fittings and Equipment 8% - 67% D.V. Golden Kiwi Lottery Fund Equipment 10% D.V. Motor Vehicles 26% D.V.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. Disposal An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or recognised as impaired when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the Statement of Financial Performance in the period the asset is derecognised. Heritage Assets The Otago Museum Trust Board owns an extensive collection of material and information relating to the natural, cultural and scientific heritage of the peoples of the world. Heritage assets are valued at cost or fair value at the date of acquisition and are not depreciated. All assets acquired prior to 30 June 2001 are recognised at cost at the date of acquisition. As a large number of the Heritage assets are donated or subsidised generally such cost will be nil unless they have been acquired as a result of a purchase by the Museum. All assets acquired from 1 July 2001 are recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition for donated or subsidised assets where it is possible, practical and meaningful to arrive at such fair value or at cost where the assets have been acquired as a result of a purchase by the Museum. The difference between fair value and cost is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance. The bulk of the Museum’s collection is represented by unrealisable or irreplaceable items and it is impracticable and cost prohibitive to value them on a “Market Based” or “Depreciated Replacement Cost” basis. As a consequence the Museum’s collection is undervalued in these financial statements. The result of this accounting policy means that the vast majority of the Museum’s collection, having been obtained prior to 30 June, 2001, is effectively valued for accounting purposes at nil, or at historical cost for those few items purchased. The primary function and purpose of the Otago Museum is the preservation and display of the extensive collection of heritage assets. These are the tasks that make up the bulk of the Otago Museum’s activities. This means that much of the collection is valued at nil, or very old historical cost for those few items purchased. The Board is confident, however, that if the collection was to be sold, its market value would be very substantial. The fact that most of the collection has a nil, or low, value for accounting purposes in no way reduces the true value of the collection or the care that is exercised in its conservation and exhibition. Impairment of Non-financial Assets At each reporting date, the Museum reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. 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 the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Museum estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is depreciated replacement cost for an asset where the future economic benefits or service potential of the asset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and where the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits or service potential. In assessing value in use for cash-generating assets, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
70
OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent 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 (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. Superannuation Schemes Defined Contribution Schemes Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation schemes are recognised as an expense in the statement of financial performance as incurred. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Museum has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Employee Entitlements Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, and annual leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after balance date are measured based on the accrued entitlements at current rates of pay. A liability and an expense are recognised for bonuses where there is a contractual obligation or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Museum in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Statement of Cash Flows Operating activities include cash received from all revenue sources of the Museum and record the cash payments made for the supply of goods and services. Investing activities are those activities relating to the acquisition and disposal of non-current assets. Financing activities comprise the change in equity and debt structure of the Museum.

OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont. Equity Equity is the community’s interest in the Museum and is measured as total assets less total liabilities. Equity is disaggregated and classified into Museum Capital and a number of reserves. The components of equity are: Museum Capital Account Accumulated Surplus/(Deficit) Available-for Sale Revaluation Reserve Equalisation Fund Redevelopment Fund Special and Trust Funds Reserves Reserves are a component of equity generally representing a particular use to which various parts of equity have been assigned. Reserves may be legally restricted or established by the Museum. Restricted reserves are subject to specific conditions. Expenditure or transfers from these reserves may be made only for certain specified purposes. Museum reserves are reserves established by Museum decision. The Museum may alter them without reference to any third party. Expenditure or transfers to and from these reserves is based on established Museum policy. The Museum’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital are described in Note 21. Budget Figures The budget figures are those approved by the Museum at the beginning of the year in the annual plan. The budget figures have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP, using accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted by the Museum for the preparation of the financial statements. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions In preparing these financial statements, the Museum has made estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations or future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty Judgements made by management in the application of Tier 2 PBE accounting standards that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty include:
Estimating the remaining useful life of various items of property, plant and equipment. If the useful life does not reflect the actual consumption of benefits of the asset, the Museum could be over or under estimating the depreciation charge recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance.
Determining whether the conditions of a grant has been satisfied, to determine whether the grant should be recognised as revenue in the Statement of Financial Performance. This judgement will be based on the facts and circumstances that are evident for each contract.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other functions, including expectations of future events that are believed to be measurable under the circumstances.

OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 21. NOTES TO THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT (a) Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the financial year as shown in the Cash Flow Statement is reconciled to the related items in the Statement of Financial Position as follows: 2015 2014 $ $ Cash & Cash Equivalents 7,851,724 8,132,205 ──────── ──────── $7,851,724 $8,132,205 ════════ ════════ 22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (a) Capital Risk Management The Otago Museum Trust Board Act 1996 (the Act) requires the Museum to manage and account for its revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments and financial dealings generally and in accordance with the relevant financial management principles of the Local Government Act 2002 and Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Museum Capital is largely managed as a by-product of managing revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments and general financial dealings. The Museum has the following reserves:
Restricted Reserves (Trust Funds); and Museum Reserves (Special Funds).
Interest and realised gains or losses on the sale of shares are recognised through the Statement of Financial Performance. They accordingly form part of the surplus or deficit transferred to Museum Capital. Investment revenue is then allocated to the Reserves on a pro-rata basis. Subsequent use of these funds may be restricted by Trust Deed or established policy. Following the change in leadership and an extensive consultation process with stakeholders, both internal and external, the Otago Museum Trust Board has adopted a new strategic direction. This strategy has four main focuses.
A World-class Collection: aiming to share the collection as much as possible; develop the collection where appropriate; care for the collection; and research and interpret the collection.
Engaging our Community: aiming to be a valuable part of the community; partner, support and engagement with communities throughout Otago; encourage interaction on-site, off-site and online; and inspire passion for learning.
Business Sustainability: aiming to diversify the organisation’s funding base; develop new and existing income steams; deliver value for money; maximise income from commercial activities; and have the highest standards of commercial accountability.
An Outward-looking and Inclusive Culture: aiming to be driven by the needs of those the organisation serves; building and sustaining a culture of collaboration and partnership; and supporting vision and mission.
(b) Significant Accounting Policies Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, and the basis of measurement applied in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS cont. (c) Categories of Financial Instruments 2015 2014 $ $ Financial Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents 7,851,724 8,132,204 Trade and Other Receivables 205,123 227,949 Derivative Financial Instruments 1,333,040 - Other Financial Assets: Loans and Receivables - - Available-for-Sale Financial Assets 5,912,322 5,261,387 Financial Liabilities Trade and Other Payables 1,972,294 303,172 (d) Financial Risk Management Objectives The Museum has a series of policies to manage the risks associated with financial instruments. The Museum is risk adverse and seeks to minimise exposure from its treasury activities. The Museum has established Museum approved Financial Management and Investment policies. These provide a framework for the management of financial resources in an efficient and effective way. The Museum does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. (e) Market Risk Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Museum’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited to its bank deposits and some long-term investments (bonds) which are held at fixed interest rates. Investments and bank deposits held at variable interest rates also expose the Museum to interest rate risk. To help minimise interest rate risk, bank deposits are invested with a spread of maturity dates over a range of financial institutions to limit exposure to short-term interest rate movements. At 30 June 2015, if the 90 day bank bill rate had been 5% (2014: 5%) higher or lower, with all other variables held constant, the surplus/deficit for the year would have been $14,724 (2014: $16,540) lower/higher. This movement is attributable to interest on call accounts. Price Risk Price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. The Museum’s equity investments are exposed to price risk because they are listed investments. The Museum’s equity investments are principally held for strategic purposes as opposed to generating a financial return. The equity investments are publically traded. Holding everything equal, if the share price at 30 June 2015 has fluctuated by plus or minus 5% (2014: 5%), the effect would have been to increase/decrease other comprehensive revenue and expense by $177,212 (2014: $156,440).
86
OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 22 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS cont. Currency Risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Museum holds some equity investments in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States markets. These holdings are primarily managed by Craigs Investment Partners on the Museum’s behalf. The Museum also makes purchases of goods and services overseas that require it to enter into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result of these activities, exposure to currency risk arises. This year, the Museum has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts due to the large amounts of capital expenditure expected to be spent over the next 12 to 24 months, to help to manage the foreign currency risk exposure. Historically, these instruments have not been utilised. At 30 June 2015, if the NZ dollar had weakened/strengthened by 5% (2014: 5%) against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the comprehensive income & expenses for the year would have been $100,256 (2014: $31,692) lower if the NZ dollar had weakened and $114,527 (2014: $35,027) higher if the NZ dollar had strengthened. This movement is attributable to foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of US dollar denominated forward contract, bank balances and equity investments. If the NZ dollar had weakened/strengthened by 5% (2014: 5%) against the UK pound with all other variables held constant, the comprehensive income and expenses for the year would have been $47,412 (2014: $36,905) lower if the NZ dollar had weakened and $52,404 (2014: $40,792) higher if the NZ dollar had strengthened. This movement is attributable to foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of UK pound denominated bank balances and equity investments. If the NZ dollar had weakened/strengthened by 5% (2014: 5%) against the AUD dollar with all other variables held constant, the comprehensive income and expenses for the year would have been $67,748 (2014: $69,901) lower if the NZ dollar had weakened and $74,882 (2014: $77,264) higher if the NZ dollar had strengthened. This movement is attributable to foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of UK pound denominated bank balances and equity investments. (f) Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a third party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Museum. The Museum has no significant concentrations of credit risk arising from trade receivables. Due to the timing of when the annual levies are received from the Contributing Local Authorities, the Museum invests surplus cash with registered banks. In the normal course of business, the Museum is exposed to credit risk from cash and term deposits with banks, trade receivables, and derivative financial instruments. For each of these, the carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the Museum’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained. The Museum limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution for term deposits and funds held on call to no more than 60% of total funds held (excluding fixed term bonds). The Museum invests funds and enters into derivative financial instruments only with registered banks that have a Standard and Poor’s credit rating of at least A for short-term and long-term investments. Funds are currently held with Southland Building Society which does not have a rating with Standard and Poor’s. However, the amount invested is limited to $150,000. The Museum has experienced no defaults of interest or principal payments on any term deposits. The Museum holds on collateral or other credit enhancements for financial instruments that give rise to credit risk.

OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) For the Financial Year Ended 30 June, 2015 22 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS cont. (g) Liquidity Risk Management Liquidity risk is the risk that the Museum will encounter difficulty in raising liquid funds to meets commitments as they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash. The Museum manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds on deposit, reserves, and banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

(i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows: the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid
markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices. The Museum considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial statements approximates their fair values.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the readers of Otago Museum Trust Board’s
financial statements and performance information for the year ended 30 June 2015
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Otago Museum Trust Board (the Museum). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Ian Lothian, using the staff and resources of Audit New Zealand, to carry out the audit of the financial statements and performance information of the Museum on her behalf.
We have audited:
the financial statements of the Museum on pages 60 to 89, that comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the statement of financial performance, statement of comprehensive revenue and expense, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date and the notes to the financial statements that include accounting policies and other explanatory information; and
the performance information of the Museum on pages 27 to 56.
Adverse opinion on the financial statements other than statement of cash flows
As stated in the accounting policies on page 69, the Museum has not recognised the majority of its collection assets in the statement of financial position, nor the associated depreciation expense in the statement of financial performance. This is a departure from applicable Public Benefit Entity International Public Sector Accounting Standard 17: Property, Plant and Equipment (PBE IPSAS 17), which generally requires assets to be recognised, and depreciated over their useful lives, in the financial statements. There are no practical audit procedures that we have been able to apply to quantify the effect of this departure from PBE IPSAS 17.
In our opinion, because of the effect of the failure to account for all of the museum collection assets the financial statements of the Museum:
Do not present fairly, in all material respects:
its financial position as at 30 June 2015; and
its financial performance for the year then ended.
Do not comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and have not been prepared in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Accounting Standards with reduced disclosure requirements.
93
Unmodified opinion on the statement of cash flows and the performance information
In our opinion:
The statement of cash flows of the Museum on page 63:
presents fairly, in all material respects its cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2015; and
complies with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and has been prepared in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Accounting Standards with reduced disclosure requirements.
The performance information of the Museum on pages 27 to 56:
presents fairly, in all material respects, the Museum’s achievements measured against the performance targets adopted for the year ended 30 June 2015; and
complies with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand.
Other than for the effects of failing to account for the museum collection assets in the manner required by PBE IPSAS 17 as outlined above, in our opinion the financial statements of the Museum present fairly in all material respects its financial position as at 30 June 2015 and its financial performance for the year ended on that date.
Our audit was completed on 21 October 2015. This is the date at which our opinion is expressed.
The basis of our opinion is explained below. In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Board and our responsibilities, and explain our independence.
Basis of opinion
We carried out our audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and carry out our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the performance information are free from material misstatement.
Material misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts and disclosures that, in our judgement, are likely to influence readers’ overall understanding of the financial statements and the performance information. We found material misstatements that were not corrected, as we referred to in our adverse opinion on the financial statements (other than the statement of cash flows).
An audit involves carrying out procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and in the performance information. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including our assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and the performance information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the preparation of the Museum’s financial statements and performance information in order to design audit
94
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Museum’s internal control.
An audit also involves evaluating:
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and whether they have been consistently applied;
the reasonableness of the significant accounting estimates and judgements made by the Board;
the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements and in the performance information; and
the overall presentation of the financial statements and the performance information.
We did not examine every transaction, nor do we guarantee complete accuracy of the financial statements and the performance information. Also, we did not evaluate the security and controls over the electronic publication of the financial statements and the performance information.
We believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our unmodified audit opinion on the statement of cash flows and the performance information. We did not receive all of the information and explanations we required in respect of the financial statements other than the statement of cash flows although we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our adverse audit opinion.
Responsibilities of the Board
The Board is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for the Museum, that comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and Public Benefit Entity Accounting Standards with reduced disclosure requirements. The Board is also responsible for preparation of the performance information for the Museum.
The Board’s responsibilities arise from the Otago Museum Trust Board Act 1996.
The Board is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements and performance information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board is also responsible for the publication of the financial statements and the performance information, whether in printed or electronic form.
Responsibilities of the Auditor
We are responsible for expressing an independent opinion on the financial statements and the performance information and reporting that opinion to you based on our audit. Our responsibility arises from the Public Audit Act 2001 and section 27 of the Otago Museum Trust Board Act 1996.
95
Independence
When carrying out the audit, we followed the independence requirements of the Auditor-General, which incorporate the independence requirements of the External Reporting Board.
Other than the audit, we have no relationship with or interests in the Museum.
