It is my pleasure as Chair to reflect on a busy and successful year for Otago Museum. This report attempts to capture our year and share the many successes delivered, ponder the challenges we face and set out the future projects our people have been working on.
As a team, we continue to take great satisfaction in the progress the Museum is making. As always, this success is based on the hard work and enthusiasm of our people.
Some of our achievements have been clearly visible to our community. The opening of the Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre, or the success of exhibitions such as Life Before Dinosaurs: Permian Monsters and Things Change: Martin Phillipps and the Chills, as well as the continued growth of the Otago Wildlife Photography Competition are examples.
Just as pleasing is the success of projects slightly behind the scenes. The continued development of the infrastructure of the Museum, the ongoing and developing relationships with funders which allow our outreach programs to be so successful, as well as the continued investment in our collections fall into this category.
Our investment in Collection staff is showing results as we continue to lift our performance in this area.
The Board and Museum team are embarking on a refresh of our strategic plan which involves listening to our communities and focusing on where to next. This will also involve the development of a new master plan. This is a significant piece of work and will run alongside another busy period as we celebrate 150 years of the Museum.
Like all institutions we continue to operate in a challenging financial environment. I would like to highlight the work of our Commercial team who have again been very successful this year.
We greatly appreciate the support of our contributing local authorities, Central Otago District Council, Clutha District Council, Waitaki District Council and the Dunedin City Council. The support of our commercial partners is both vital and much appreciated and we look
forward to working with you in the future. 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.
I would like to reflect my thanks for the work of Dr Ian Griffin, the management team and all staff at Otago Museum. The commitment and dedication shown 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 Otago Museum. I would like to highlight Julie Pearse, a long-serving board member, who stepped down this year and publicly thank her for her outstanding contribution.
We are looking forward to a very positive future for Otago Museum.

Year in ReviewDirector, Otago Museum
It has been an extraordinary 12 months for the Otago Museum. With more than 350000 visitors and a satisfaction rate of 95% (as measured by Dunedin City Council’s Residents’ Opinion Survey), the Museum continues to be Dunedin’s most popular cultural institution.
In the run-up to the Museum’s sesquicentenary, our growing Collections team continues to perform outstanding work. In particular, mention should be made of the Taoka Digitisation Project which has digitised and catalogued more than 18000 items since April 2016.
In a year of many notable highlights, perhaps the most memorable was the opening of the Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre on 15 December 2017. Featuring dozens of state-of-the-art interactives, the centre has proved tremendously popular, garnering excellent reviews and winning a national award.
While generating significant supplementary income for the Museum, it is important to remember that Tūhura is a major educational asset for our region which will, we hope, inspire the many thousands of young people who visit each year to take an interest in STEM subjects.
The new science centre was improved significantly through strong support from the community. Throughout the four-year planning period we benefitted hugely from collaborations with scientists, designers, community leaders and many local companies. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to this important project.
Outreach is becoming an ever more important component of the Museum’s work and during the period covered by this report, staff gave lectures, presentations, demonstrations or advice across the whole of Aotearoa. While the main focus of our outreach efforts has rightly been Otago, our staff have ventured as far as Papua New Guinea to provide support to important research programmes.
A personal highlight of the year was taking part in the Extreme Science outreach expedition to the Chatham Islands in July 2017. Over the course of a week, team members visited all three schools on the islands (including Pitt Island which had to
be reached via an epic boat journey), gave talks in the local pub and marae, and enjoyed phenomenal views of the night sky from a viewing spot adjacent to Te Whanga Lagoon.
Despite the achievements of the past year, the Otago Museum continues to face many significant challenges. For the past half-decade, public funding of the institution has remained relatively static and has not kept pace with increasing costs. While the Commercial team continues to work hard to grow income – the Museum covers almost 50% of its operational costs through commercial and grant income – we are approaching the limits of what is possible. Major upgrades to all of the Museum galleries will be required over the next decade, as well as significant investment in our ageing facilities. Next year, the Executive team at the Museum will be working with the Board to develop a long-term master plan for funding the considerable cost of these works.
I’d like to record my appreciation to the members of the Museum Trust Board and our Māori Advisory Committee. Their wise counsel is crucial to the success of the Museum. I’d particularly like to thank Board Chair Graham Crombie and Māori Advisory Committee Chair Matapura Ellison for their support for the Museum.
Finally I must acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Museum staff. All have helped make 2017/18 a very fruitful year for our institution. There’s never been a better time to visit. I hope to see you at the Museum soon.

This year has been a busy one for the Friends with numerous well attended events held. In October 2017 we arranged for a showing of Flying Monsters for our members at the planetarium, followed by our annual Christmas party in November.
In May we held a free evening at the Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre. The Friends of the Otago Museum actively supported the development of the centre and were privileged to sponsor the interactive known as Flight Zone – He Wähi Rere.
The Oral History Project is continuing as part of the Friends contribution to the celebrations for the Otago Museum’s 150th anniversary in 2018. Professor Gordon Parsonson was our pilot project and all interviews with the Professor have now been completed. We held a handover of Professor Parsonson’s interview material with the Hocken Library on 23 November, which was attended by Professor Parsonson and his family. We have now engaged our oral historian Helen Frizzell to begin interviews with Marjorie and Garry Blackman, who both share a wealth of knowledge about the Museum and the Friends.
Our membership at the end of 2017 – 2018 was 112 in total, including 28 households and 84 individuals. We are currently working to improve our membership numbers and are identifying events that would appeal to a broader range of the community.

A world-class collectionBeach birth of a leopard seal pupThe birth and death of a leopard seal pup at St Kilda Beach in September provided Museum staff and external researchers with a rare opportunity to learn more about the early life stages of this species.
Leopard seals usually give birth on the inaccessible pack ice of Antarctica, and the last recorded case of one born on mainland New Zealand was in 1977.
After being abandoned by its mother, the pup was euthanised by the Department of Conservation. Members of the Natural Science team worked with DOC, local iwi, conservation groups and other researchers, including NIWA scientist Dr Krista Hupman, to arrange MRI and CT scanning, which showed that the pup’s lungs were full of fluid,
affecting its ability to breathe.
The pup has now been taxidermied and will go on display at Otago Museum later in the year.
Conservation team cultivating connections and skillsConservation Manager Nyssa Mildwaters visited Samoa and Papua New Guinea in December where she met with employees from the National Museum of Samoa, and the National Museum and Art Gallery of Papua New Guinea, as well as government and ministerial staff, helping to build valuable connections in countries where some of the Museum’s collections originate.
Earlier in the year, Conservator Lisa Yeats attended a textiles conservation workshop in Beijing, one of only 24 people in the world selected to take part.
Excavation underway at Papanui Inlet.
The workshop was organised by the International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works.
Papanui excavationsIn January, Otago Museum Curator, Māori Rachel Wesley and archaeologist Shar Briden led a team from the Museum, Te Rūnaka ō Ōtākou, the University of Otago, and the wider community in excavating a small area of the Papanui Inlet.
Archaeological monitoring over the past 10 years has unearthed a wide range of treasures from this area, including the partial hull of a waka. One of the prime objectives of the week-long excursion was to excavate material which could be dated, in order to learn more about the early history and settlement of the area.

GOAL 1COLLECTIONNicole Sanders from Zaibatsu Hair Art applies the finishing
touches to the new facial reproduction of the mummy.
Facial reconstruction reveals mummy’s appearanceOtago Museum’s resident Egyptian mummy received a facial reconstruction at the end of 2017, giving visitors a better idea of what she looked like before her death.
Using scientific, artistic and historical research carried out by the University of Otago’s Anatomy department and Faculty of Dentistry, forensic facial approximation researcher Dr Louisa Baillie was able to rebuild the mummified face with more accuracy than the previous reconstruction, which was undertaken in 2008.
CT scans and X-rays enabled Dr Baillie to create a 3D polyurethane copy of her skull. Markers were placed on the replica to guide soft tissue depth, and clay was sculpted to make the facial muscle and fat appropriate for her height, age, and state of health.The reconstructed face was covered in a silicone skin, and the colours of her skin, hair and eyes were chosen to reflect her Caucasoid, possibly Greek, ancestry.
The facial reconstruction is now on display next to the mummy in the People of the World gallery.
New species of fly found at Aramoana
Spending time on the mudflats around Aramoana over the summer led to a unique find for Associate Professor Steve Kerr, a neurotoxicologist at the University of Otago. Kerr discovered a new species of the long-legged fly, now named Scorpiurus aramoana, and the species holotype – the single specimen that acts as the identifier for the entire species – is now held in the Otago Museum collection.In his spare time, Kerr volunteers at Otago Museum and can often be found identifying and cataloguing the Museum’s entomology collection.

Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre After four years of planning and five months of construction, Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre opened to the public on Friday 15 December 2017.
The $2.5 million redevelopment of the former Discovery World Tropical Forest was supported with $500 000 in funding from the Otago Community Trust.
It is now home to more than 45 hands-on science interactives and a refreshed Tropical Forest butterfly house. Unique to the centre is the Kāi Tahu cosmogenic whakapapa, or creation story, which provides a framework, based on both science and mātauraka Māori, by which to interpret the interactives and explain the natural world from two
Engage with our community and stakeholders different knowledge bases. Interactives wowing visitors include a Mood Ball which explores colour psychology, a Virtual Body table which allows users to investigate three real-life cases and how each cause of death has affected the body, and a 7.5 metre-high spiral slide inspired by the DNA double helix. The refurbished Tropical Forest butterfly environment houses more than 1000 exotic butterflies, as well as tarantulas, terrapins, birds and Goliath stick insects, which can grow up to 25 cm in length.
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and the centre was announced the joint winner of the Exhibition Excellence – Taonga Māori award at the Museum Aotearoa Service IQ Awards in May.
Life Before Dinosaurs: Permian MonstersThis international touring exhibition, produced by Gondwana Studios, brought the past back to life with fossilised skeletons and life-size animatronic models of the animals that ruled the world millions of years before the age of dinosaurs, in a time known as the Permian. A blend of art and science enabled visitors to view reconstructed models of these strange creatures and dig for fossils in interactive pits. It was a huge hit with visitors, with more than 25000 tickets sold.

Wai Ora, Mauri Ora: Healthy Environments, Healthy People was developed by the University of Otago’s Centre for Science Communication, Te Koronga – Indigenous Science, and Otago Museum, and presented research projects which incorporated mātauraka Māori and Pākehā knowledge.
Things Change: Martin Phillipps and The ChillsWhen lead singer and songwriter of The Chills, Martin Phillipps received a dire medical prognosis in 2017, it led to a desire to preserve the legacy of both
himself and his band. Things Change: Martin Phillipps and The Chills was the result. Featuring more than 400 items from Phillipps’ personal collection, the exhibition opened in the H D Skinner Annex on 22 June. A collaboration between Otago Museum, Museograph, and a group of Communication Design students from Otago Polytechnic, both the exhibition and the process of its creation has been captured by Notable Pictures as part of a theatrical documentary expected to premiere internationally early in 2019.

Extreme Science: Taking Science to the ChathamsStargazing, blowing things up, and exploring the mysterious world of quantum physics were just some of the activities on the agenda during a week-long expedition to the Chatham Islands.
In collaboration with the Dodd-Walls Centre, and with support from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Unlocking Curious Minds fund, the Otago Museum travelled to this remote archipelago to get local children and their families excited about science.
the Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre, with students bedding down for the night amongst the interactives. The redeveloped programme also offers options for senior students, which are based around creative writing and science communication. Feedback from schools has been overwhelmingly positive, with teachers and students alike loving the new science focus of the sleepovers, as well as the sense of adventure and mystery that accompanies an after-dark exploration of the Museum.
The team visited all three schools on the islands, ran professional development workshops with teachers, and conducted a variety of activities and experiments. To encourage future explorations, every school child received a DIY science kit, and the community was gifted a telescope and seismometer.
The project was the joint winner of the 2018 Museum Aotearoa Service IQ Award for Most Innovative Public Programme. A night at the MuseumThe Education team relaunched its popular Museum sleepovers in February. Overnight stays now incorporate hands-on time in

Always something new to discover at the Perpetual Guardian PlanetariumFrom 220 million years ago to vivid projections of the future, the planetarium gave visitors a glimpse into some very different worlds throughout the year.
Films on show included Humpback Whales, Flying Monsters, and Alien World: The Case for Life, which was developed in-house. Other screenings were timed to coincide with local and international events, including Alien for Halloween, Hidden Figures to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March, the first three Indiana Jones movies during New Zealand Archaeology Week, and Great White Shark as part of the Wild Dunedin Festival. To support Techweek'18, Behind the Scenes at the Planetarium provided a peek at the inner workings of the planetarium and revealed some of the experimental technology the team are currently working on.
Monthly Live @ OM gigs filled the Atrium with blues, folk, jazz, orchestral and choral renditions. Murder Mystery @ OM provided a thrilling, after-dark Museum experience and featured a live murder mystery by improv-comedy troupe Improsaurus, guided torchlight tours of the galleries, and hair-raising science experiments.
Lab in a Box at ParliamentAt the end of February, Lab in a Box took up perhaps its most prominent parking spot yet - right outside the Beehive.
The portable research lab inside a 20-foot shipping container hosted two days of sessions and shows, and was visited by the Minister for Research, Science and Innovation, Megan Woods, and the Minister for Education, Chris Hipkins.
The event was held in conjunction with the Dodd-Walls Centre, the MacDiarmid Institute and Genomics Aotearoa, with sessions run by Otago Museum science communicators.
Programmes promote the Museum to new audiencesAn exciting line-up of talks, workshops, gallery trails, craft activities, demonstrations and field days bolstered the Museum’s appeal to different audiences. Chocolate-themed events and shows were on the agenda during the Dunedin Cadbury Chocolate Carnival 2017, including a Giant Jaffa Rolling Ball Sculpture and Sense-ational Chocolate Science Show. During the Dunedin Heritage Festival in October, Museum guides took visitors on tours of the Maritime gallery, while aspiring archaeologists experienced a mock excavation during New Zealand Archaeology Week. Specialist speakers introduced the community to topics as diverse as Antarctica, solar tsunamis, the field of cryptology, and electric vehicles. The Museum also supported external speaking events such as the University of Otago’s monthly Thirst for Knowledge series.

Everyone mattersThe ethos of the Venues team is “customer service – everyone matters”. Venue hire, a more commercial aspect of the Museum’s remit, is about supporting the core functions of the institution – the revenue generated supports the development and continuity of programmes, education, collections, and research. Ensuring relationships with key clients, such as the University of Otago, are based on professionalism and reliability translates to regular repeat and increased business, underpinning the unit’s ongoing sustainability. The Venues team hosted a Chamber of Commerce Business After Five event in August 2017, which was one of the largest in recent times and garnered considerable positive feedback from attendees. These networking events invite business and professional people to view the Museum in a different context, and the August event has opened
the door for a range of new relationships and connections.The opening of Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre is providing ongoing financial benefit to the Museum, with a high level of interest in the space for larger group bookings. Another highlight is the stability of the Venues team, with just three new recruitments to support a well-established and professional team.
Safety improvements in the AtriumThe Museum upgraded the balustrades in the Atrium to provide a safer environment for visitors. The balustrades now sit on the floor inside a frame and are higher, which removes the possibility of small items falling or rolling underneath, or being dropped over the top. Made of hardened, laminated glass to reduce the chance of shattering, the height of the balustrades has increased from 830 mm to 1330 mm.

Tūhura pulls in the crowdsSince opening in December, the Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre has welcomed more than 50 000 visitors, increasing income during this period by 56%.
To sustain Tūhura’s appeal and attract new audiences, various programmes have been devised and continued. These have included a daily First Flight butterfly release delivered by science communicators, evening film screenings in the planetarium to coincide with global themes and events, and regular sold-out Yoga with the Butterflies classes, run in collaboration with Hot Yoga Dunedin.
The introduction of an annual pass, which offers locals the opportunity to visit Tūhura as frequently as they desire has proved popular, with more than 1000 passes sold in the first three months.

The art of relationshipsAs well as ratepayer contributions, Otago Museum relies on external sources of funding to maintain and develop its collection, deliver science engagement experiences, and remain a sustainable business. In today’s funding climate it is crucial that approaches to funders are made with an eye to adding value and building long-term relationships, rather than purely seeking money. The opening of the Tūhura Otago Community Trust Science Centre reflects such a win-win relationship. The support of the Otago Community Trust has enabled the Museum to develop Tūhura to its maximum potential, while around 100000
visitors each year will witness Otago Community Trust’s support for such positive regional attractions. This model builds on the successful naming sponsorship of the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium and funding contributions for specific interactives within Tūhura, such as support from the Lions Foundation for the DNA slide, and the Marjorie Barclay Trust for the Virtual Body Table.
Developing long-term relationships with relevant institutions and organisations has also enabled the Museum to extend its reach to communities across Otago and beyond. By working closely with a range of departments within the University

OTAGO MUSEUM TRUST BOARDNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the Financial year ended 30 June 2018
1 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
Statement of Compliance
Basis of Preparation
New Zealand dollars are the Museum’s functional and presentation currency.
The following accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of results and financialposition have been applied:
The Otago Museum Trust Board (“the Museum”) is a special-purpose local authority constituted underthe Otago Museum Trust Board Act, 1996.
The Otago Museum Trust Board administers the Otago Museum which is a non-profit making permanentinstitution, founded by the people of Otago for the service and development of their community with aparticular responsibility for the natural and scientific heritage of the Otago region. The Museum hasdesignated itself as a public benefit entity (PBE) for reporting purposes.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP. They comply with Tier 2PBE (RDR) accounting standards on the basis the Museum is not considered publically accountable orlarge with expenditure under $30 million per annum. All available disclosure concessions have beenapplied.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Tier 2 PBE accounting standards requiresmanagement to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies andreported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses. The estimates and associatedassumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to bereasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgementsabout carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actualresults may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on going basis. Revisions to accountingestimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only thatperiod or in the period of the revision and in future periods if the revision affects both current and futureperiods.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for heritage assetsand the revaluation of certain financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the considerationgiven 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 financialinformation satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of theunderlying transactions or other events is reported.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and the accounting policies setout below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
Local Authority Levy Revenue
Local Authority Levy revenue is recognised when it is levied.
Other Revenue
Dividends are recognised when the entitlement to the dividends is established.
Interest revenue is recognised on an accrual basis.
Leasing
Finance Leases
Where a physical asset is gifted to or acquired by the Museum for nil consideration or at a subsidisedcost, the asset is recognised at fair value and the difference between the consideration provided and fairvalue 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 notrecognised as revenue or expenditure by the Museum.
Leases which effectively transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental toownership of the leased item are classified as finance leases, whether or not title is eventuallytransferred.
At the commencement of the lease term, finance leases where the Museum is the lessee are recognisedas assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position at the lower of the fair value of the leaseditem or the present value of the minimum lease payments.
The amount recognised as an asset is depreciated over its useful life. If there is no reasonable certaintyas to whether the Museum will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is fullydepreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and its useful life.
Grants are recognised as revenue when they become receivable unless there is an obligation insubstance to return the funds if conditions of the grant are not met. If there is such an obligation, thegrants are initially recorded as grants received in advance and recognised as revenue when conditions ofthe grant are satisfied.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and representsamounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discountsand GST.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associatedwith the transaction will flow to the entity. The stage of completion at balance date is assessed based onthe value of services performed to date as a percentage of the total services to be performed.
The finance charge is charged to the surplus or deficit over the lease period so as to produce a constantperiodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Operating Leases
Taxation
Goods and Services Tax
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of GST.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Financial Instruments
The net GST paid to, or received from, the IRD, including the GST relating to investing and financingactivities, is classified as a net operating cash flow in the statement of cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-termhighly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Museum’s Statement of Financial Positionwhen the Museum becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instrument. The Museum is party tofinancial instruments as part of its normal operations. These financial instruments include cash and cashequivalents (including bank overdraft), trade and other receivables, other financial assets, trade andother 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 isunder a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established bythe market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, except for thosefinancial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss which are initially valued at fair value.
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownershipof the leased item are classified as operating leases.
Lease incentives received are recognised in the surplus or deficit as a reduction of rental expense spreadon a straight-line basis over the lease term.
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.
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 notrecoverable 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 orpayables in the statement of financial position.
Payments made under these leases are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the leaseterm.

(i) Financial Assets
Available-for-Sale Financial Assets
Fair Value Estimation
Foreign Currency
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at thebalance date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Museum is the current bidprice.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined usingvaluation techniques. The Museum uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based onmarket conditions existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similarinstruments are used for long-term investment and debt instruments held.
Foreign currency transactions (including those for which forward exchange contracts are held) aretranslated into NZ dollars, being the functional currency, using the spot exchange rates at the dates ofthe transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactionsand from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated inforeign currencies are recognised in the Museum’s surplus or deficit.
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from theMuseum’s operational activities. The Museum does not hold or issue derivate financial instruments fortrading purposes. The Museum has not adopted hedge accounting.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into andare subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each balance date with the resulting gain or lossrecognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue & expense.
Equity securities held by the Museum are classified as being available-for-sale due to the fact that theyare all tradable on public markets and are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined in the mannerdescribed later in this note. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly inthe available-for-sale revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses which are recogniseddirectly in the Statement of Financial Performance. Where the investment is disposed of or isdetermined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the available-for-salerevaluation reserve is included in the Statement of Financial Performance for the period.
The effective interest method, referred to below, is a method of calculating the amortised cost of afinancial asset and of allocating interest revenue over the relevant period. The effective interest rate isthe interest rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of thefinancial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the Statement of FinancialPerformance when the Museum’s right to receive payments is established.
Financial Assets are classified into the following specified categories: ‘available-for-sale’, and ‘loans andreceivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and isdetermined at the time of initial recognition.

Loans and Receivables
Impairment of Financial Assets
(ii) Financial Liabilities
Trade and Other Payables
Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are notquoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measuredat amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applyingthe effective interest rate.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured atamortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. An allowance fordoubtful debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Museum will not be able tocollect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the allowanceis the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cashflows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the allowance is expensed in theStatement of Financial Performance.
The full fair value of the forward foreign exchange derivative is classified as current if the contract is duefor settlement within 12 months of balance date. Otherwise, foreign exchange derivatives are classifiedas non-current.
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured atamortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Museum becomes obliged to makefuture payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators ofimpairment at each Statement of Financial Position date. Financial assets are impaired where there isobjective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of thefinancial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financialassets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’scarrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the originaleffective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financialassets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use ofan allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectable, it is written off against the allowanceaccount. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowanceaccount. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in the Statement ofFinancial Performance.
With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount ofthe impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring afterthe impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through theStatement of Financial Performance to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date ofimpairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairmentnot been recognised.

Inventories
Property, Plant and Equipment
The Museum has the following classes of property, plant and equipment:
Operational Assets and Heritage Assets
Operational Assets
Cost/Valuation
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Additions
Work in progress is recognised at cost less impairment and is not depreciated.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated as detailed below:
Operational Assets RateLand NilBuildings 3% S.L. - 50% D.V.Café Equipment 10% - 50% D.V.Computer Equipment 12% - 67% D.V.Emergency Response Team Equipment 18% D.V.Exhibits Nil - 40% D.V.Furniture, Fittings & Equipment 8% - 67% D.V.Golden Kiwi Lottery Fund Equipment 10% D.V.Motor Vehicles 26% - 30% D.V.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of eachannual reporting period.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weightedaverage basis with an appropriate allowance for obsolescence and deterioration.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset only when it is probablethat future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to the Museum andthe cost of the item can be measured reliably.
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 anon-exchange transaction, or for a nominal cost, it is recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition.
Expenditure incurred to maintain these assets at full operating capability is charged to the Statement ofFinancial Performance in the year incurred.
Inventories acquired through non-exchange transactions are measured at fair value at the date ofacquisition.
Operational assets include land, buildings, plant and equipment, motor vehicles, office furniture andequipment.

Disposal
Heritage Assets
Heritage assets are valued at cost or fair value at the date of acquisition and are not depreciated.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or recognised as impaired whenno 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 netdisposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the Statement of FinancialPerformance in the period the asset is derecognised.
The Otago Museum Trust Board owns an extensive collection of material and information relating to thenatural, cultural and scientific heritage of the peoples of the world.
All assets acquired prior to 30 June 2001 are recognised at cost at the date of acquisition. As a largenumber of the Heritage assets are donated or subsidised generally such cost will be nil unless they havebeen 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 orsubsidised assets where it is possible, practical and meaningful to arrive at such fair value or at costwhere the assets have been acquired as a result of a purchase by the Museum. The difference betweenfair 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 isimpracticable and cost prohibitive to value them on a “Market Based” or “Depreciated ReplacementCost” 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, havingbeen obtained prior to 30 June 2001, is effectively valued for accounting purposes at nil, or at historicalcost for those few items purchased.
The primary function and purpose of the Otago Museum is the preservation and display of the extensivecollection of heritage assets. These are the tasks that make up the bulk of the Otago Museum’sactivities.
For 2016, 2017 and 2018, a fair value for donated assets received has not been determined as it wasconsidered not possible or practical to value them.
This means that much of the collection is valued at nil, or very old historical cost for those few itemspurchased. The Board is confident, however, that if the collection was to be sold, its market value wouldbe very substantial.
The fact that most of the collection has a nil, or low, value for accounting purposes in no way reducesthe true value of the collection or the care that is exercised in its conservation and exhibition.
At each reporting date, the Museum reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assetsto determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If anysuch indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extentof the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independentfrom other assets, the Museum estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to whichthe asset belongs.

Superannuation Schemes
Defined Contribution Schemes
Provisions
Employee Entitlements
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation schemes are recognised as anexpense in the Statement of Financial Performance as incurred.
Provisions are recognised when the Museum has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economicbenefits 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 thepresent obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding theobligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the presentobligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use isdepreciated replacement cost for an asset where the future economic benefits or service potential of theasset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and where the entitywould, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits or service potential. Inassessing value in use for cash-generating assets, the estimated future cash flows are discounted totheir present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have notbeen adjusted.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recoveredfrom a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will bereceived and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, and annual leavewhen 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 basedon the accrued entitlements at current rates of pay.
A liability and an expense are recognised for bonuses where there is a contractual obligation or wherethere is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation and a reliable estimate of theobligation can be made.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carryingamount, 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 fairvalue, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generatingunit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that theincreased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined hadno impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of animpairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance immediately, unless therelevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as arevaluation increase.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty include:
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and otherfunctions, including expectations of future events that are believed to be measurable under thecircumstances.
In preparing these financial statements, the Museum has made estimates and assumptions concerningthe future. These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimatesand 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. Theestimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Judgements made by management in the application of Tier 2 PBE accounting standards that havesignificant effects on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of materialadjustments in the next year are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financialstatements.
· Estimating the remaining useful life of various items of property, plant and equipment. If the usefullife does not reflect the actual consumption of benefits of the asset, the Museum could be over or underestimating 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 grantshould be recognised as revenue in the Statement of Financial Performance. This judgement will bebased on the facts and circumstances that are evident for each contract.

Interest Rate Risk
At 30 June 2018, if the 90-day bank bill rate had been 5% (2017: 5%) higher or lower, with allother variables held constant, the surplus/deficit for the year would have been $6,503 (2017:$9,965) lower/higher. This movement is attributable to interest on call accounts.
To help minimise interest rate risk, bank deposits are invested with a spread of maturity datesover a range of financial institutions to limit exposure to short-term interest rate movements.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changesin market interest rates. The Museum’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited to its bankdeposits 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 tointerest rate risk.
The Museum does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financialinstruments, for speculative purposes.
The Museum has a series of policies to manage the risks associated with financial instruments.The Museum is risk averse and seeks to minimise exposure from its treasury activities. TheMuseum has established Museum approved Financial Management and Investment policies.These provide a framework for the management of financial resources in an efficient andeffective way.

Currency Risk
If the NZ dollar had weakened/strengthened by 5% (2017: 5%) against the UK pound with allother variables held constant, the comprehensive income & expenses for the year would havebeen $40,360 (2017: $37,308) lower if the NZ dollar had weakened and $44,609 (2017:$41,233) higher if the NZ dollar had strengthened. This movement is attributable to foreignexchange gains/losses on translation of UK pound denominated bank balances and equityinvestments.
If the NZ dollar had weakened/strengthened by 5% (2017: 5%) against the AUD dollar with allother variables held constant, the comprehensive income & expenses for the year would havebeen $65,828 (2017: $62,453) lower if the NZ dollar had weakened and $72,757 (2017:$69,026) higher if the NZ dollar had strengthened. This movement is attributable to foreignexchange gains/losses on translation of AUD dollar denominated bank balances and equityinvestments.
At 30 June 2018, if the NZ dollar had weakened/strengthened by 5% (2017: 5%) against the USdollar with all other variables held constant, the comprehensive income & expenses for the yearwould have been $69,895 (2017: $54,270) lower if the NZ dollar had weakened and $77,253(2017: $59,983) higher if the NZ dollar had strengthened. This movement is attributable toforeign exchange gains/losses on translation of US dollar denominated forward contract, bankbalances and equity investments.
Price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changesin market prices. The Museum’s equity investments are exposed to price risk because they arelisted investments. The Museum’s equity investments are principally held for strategic purposesas opposed to generating a financial return.
The equity investments are publically traded. Holding everything equal, if the share price at 30June 2018 has fluctuated by plus or minus 5% (2017: 5%), the effect would have been toincrease/decrease other comprehensive revenue and expense by $261,493 (2017: $231,996).
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument willfluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Museum holds some equity investments in Australia, the United Kingdom and the UnitedStates markets. These holdings are primarily managed by Craigs Investment Partners on theMuseum’s behalf. The Museum also makes purchases of goods and services overseas thatrequire it to enter into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result of theseactivities, exposure to currency risk arises.
This year, the Museum has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts due to the largeamounts of capital expenditure expected to be spent over the next 12-24 months, to help tomanage the foreign currency risk exposure. Historically, these instruments have not beenutilised.

(f) Credit Risk
(g) Liquidity Risk Management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a third party will default on its contractual obligations resultingin financial loss to the Museum.
The Museum has no significant concentrations of credit risk arising from trade receivables. Dueto the timing of when the annual levies are received from the contributing local authorities, theMuseum invests surplus cash with registered banks.
In the normal course of business, the Museum is exposed to credit risk from cash and termdeposits 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 allowancefor losses, represents the Museum’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account ofthe value of any collateral obtained.
The Museum limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution for termdeposits and funds held on call to no more than 60% of total funds held (excluding fixed termbonds). The Museum invests funds and enters into derivative financial instruments only withregistered banks that have a Standard and Poor’s credit rating of at least A for short-term andlong-term investments. Funds are currently held with Southland Building Society which does nothave a rating with Standard and Poor’s. However, the amount invested is limited to $250,000.In addition the Museum has $100,000 invested in Summerset retail bonds and this investment isalso not rated.The Museum has experienced no defaults of interest or principal payments on anyterm deposits.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Museum will encounter difficulty in raising liquid funds to meetcommitments as they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficientcash.
The Museum manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds on deposit, reserves, andbanking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and matching thematurity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Museum holds on collateral or other credit enhancements for financial instruments that giverise to credit risk.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the readers of Otago Museum Trust Board’s financial statements and statement of service performance for the year ended 30 June 2018
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Otago Museum Trust Board (the Museum). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Julian Tan, using the staff and resources of Audit New Zealand, to carry out the audit of the financial statements and the statement of service performance of the Museum on his behalf.
We have audited:
• the financial statements of the Museum on pages 45 to 76, that comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of financial performance, statement of comprehensive revenue and expenses, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date and the notes to the financial statements that include accounting policies and other explanatory information; and
• the statement of service performance of the Museum on pages 23 to 40.
Qualified opinion
Qualified opinion on the financial statements because of non-recognition of certain heritage assets
In our opinion, except for the effect of the non-recognition of certain heritage assets, described in the Basis for our qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements of the Museum on pages 45 to 76:
• present fairly, in all material respects:
its financial position as at 30 June 2018; and
its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended; and
• comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand in accordance with the Public Benefit Entity Reporting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime.
Unmodified opinion on the statement of service performance
In our opinion, the statement of service performance of the Museum on pages 23 to 40 presents fairly, in all material respects, the Museum’s actual performance compared against the performance targets and other measures by which performance was judged in relation to the Museum’s objectives for the year ended 30 June 2018.
80
Our audit was completed on 9 November 2018. This is the date at which our qualified opinion is expressed.
The basis for our qualified opinion is explained below. In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Board and our responsibilities relating to the financial statements and the statement of service performance, we comment on other information, and we explain our independence.
Basis for our qualified opinion
As explained in the accounting policies on page 55, the Museum has not recognised certain heritage assets in the statement of financial position or donated asset revenue in the statement of financial performance. These are departures from Public Benefit Entity International Public Sector Accounting Standard 17: Property, Plant and Equipment, which generally requires assets to be recognised, and the fair value of donated assets to be included as revenue. There are no practical audit procedures that we have been able to apply, to quantify the effect of these departures from the accounting standards. It is our opinion that the heritage assets make up a significant proportion of the Museum’s total assets. Our audit opinion for the year ended 30 June 2017 was modified for the same reason. As a result, the comparative information in the financial statements should be read in light of this fact.
We carried out our audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Professional and Ethical Standards and the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Responsibilities of the auditor section of our report.
We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Responsibilities of the Board for the financial statements and the statement of service performance
The Board is responsible on behalf of the Museum for preparing the financial statements that are fairly presented and that comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. The Board also responsible for preparing the statement of service performance for the Museum.
The Board is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable it to prepare financial statements and the statement of service performance that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements and the statement of service performance, the Board is responsible on behalf of the Museum for assessing the Museum’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Board is also responsible for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board intends to liquidate the Museum or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board’s responsibilities arise from Otago Museum Trust Board Act 1996.
81
Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements and the statement of service performance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the statement of service performance, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit carried out in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts and disclosures, and can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of readers taken on the basis of these financial statements and the statement of service performance.
For the budget information reported in the financial statements and the statement of service performance, our procedures were limited to checking that the information agreed to the Museum’s annual plan.
We did not evaluate the security and controls over the electronic publication of the financial statements and the statement of service performance.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Also:
• We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and the statement of service performance, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Museum’s internal control.
• We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board.
• We evaluate the appropriateness of the reported performance information within the Museum’s framework for reporting its performance.
• We conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the Board and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Museum’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements and the statement of service performance or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
82
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Museum to cease to continue as a going concern.
• We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements and the statement of service performance, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements and the statement of service performance represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Our responsibilities arise from the Public Audit Act 2001.
Other information
The Board is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included on pages 2 to 22 and 77 and 78, but does not include the financial statements and the statement of service performance, and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements and the statement of service performance does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements and the statement of service performance, our responsibility is to read the other information. In doing so, we consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements and the statement of service performance or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on our work, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Independence
We are independent of the Museum in accordance with the independence requirements of the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the independence requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard 1(Revised): Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.
Other than the audit, we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Museum.
