CHAIRMAN’S REPORTMr. PETER SCHRYVER

It is my pleasure to present the Rowing Queensland Inc’s Annual Report for 2009 to ourmembers and stakeholders on behalf of the Board. Over the past 12 months your sport hasseen many changes that will have long term effects on our sport at many levels. With theCrawford Report into Sport complete we must review our operations to ensure RowingQueensland can still deliver high quality service across all aspects of our business.

Within this report our CEO, Mr. Ross Symonds has compiled a series of updates from ourfinancial position to the performance of our elite athletes. These will assist in themanagement of the organisation, as it continues to develop and grow. The Board of RowingQueensland Inc has taken a great interest in this progress and their contribution is appreciated.

With 2009 being the first year of the 2012 Olympic cycle, it was great to see the high standardthat our Queensland athletes delivered on the international stage. Some notable performanceswere; Anna Kaszycki (Juniors - Gold Medal), Jared Bidwell (Senior A - Silver Medal), Tom Amiesand Nick Allen-Ducat (Juniors - Silver Medal), Madeline Edmunds and Jessica Hall (Juniors -Silver Medal), Sasha Belonogoff, Alison Scobbie and Gabrielle Kukla (Senior B - Bronze Medals).Congratulations are also extended to Mr Tim Conrad, coach of the Senior A - Silver Medalwinning Men’s Four, Mr John Bowes, coach of the Silver Medal winning Junior Men’s CoxedFour and Lincoln Handley, coach Junior Men’s Quad and Senior A - Team Manager, Mr RayEbert.

Congratulations to the winning club of the 2009 CASTAWAY Premiership, Townsville and JCURowing Club. Congratulations to the clubs, athletes, coaches and volunteers on your victory.Once again a regional club has won our state premiership. This result highlights how importantour regions are in our sport and what emphasis our organisation must place on assisting ourregional clubs grow.

Local, State and Federal governments have once again been generous in their financial supportof both our organisation and a number of rowing clubs throughout Queensland. However, theconstant battle for more funds to maintain and grow our sport across the state remains our keychallenge. Rowing Queensland is indebted to our loyal corporate partners, Roger and MarjorieMorton, through their company MPM Marketing Services and their leading Brand CASTAWAYand in particular the rowing community at large for your sponsorships, donations and mostimportantly your time.

The year has also seen some change in the staff at the RQI office. During the year, PeterShakespear left us to join the team at Rowing Australia in Canberra. We thank Peter for hisefforts during his tenure with us. Mr. Chad King has taken over from Peter. Chad hasestablished himself in this role and is looking forward to help develop our top end athletes andensure they meet their goals and expectations.

I must pay particular thanks to Mr. Christian Renford. Christian resigned as our CEO mid 2009to join the team at Rowing NSW. I must personally thank Christian for the effort and passionhe brought to his role as CEO. I am sure you will agree that Christian has ensured that oursport is healthy and ready to move forward into 2010.

I would like to welcome Mr. Ross Symonds as our CEO. Ross joins us with extensive experiencein high performance sport and has been CEO in other large state sporting organisations. Rosscommenced employment during September 2009 and has hit the ground running. I am sureyou will join me in formally welcoming Ross to his new role.

The 2009 National Championships were held in Tasmania at Lake Barrington. With weatherconditions wild to say the least our Queensland team showed great spirit to achieve a 2nd placein the overall points score. The consistent results over the past few years of our state teamwere topped off by the victory at the Youth Cup by the Queensland team. Our underage

athletes won the Rusty Robertson Trophy amidst a high standard of competition. I congratulatethese athletes and coaches and look forward to seeing more great results in the future.

In 2009 the Australian Masters Rowing Championships were held in Rockhampton. With blueskies and great conditions, athletes, volunteers and spectators were treated to a great event.In a big year for Masters competition with the 2009 World Masters Games on, we achievedgood attendance numbers and great feedback from those who attended. A particular thanksmust go to the team of BRO’s headed by our own Dr. Stephen Hinchey. Our BRO’s are anintegral part of our events structure and always ensure the safety of athletes and the conductof our Regatta’s is first class. Thank you.

Our State Championships were again held in Bundaberg in December. The weather, althoughwarm, was good for competition and gave our athletes, coaches and BRO’s another highquality event. Many athletes on scholarship or camp at the AIS in Canberra made the effort toattend the regatta. It is great for our younger athletes to see our elite athletes rowing at ourown event.

With 2009 now behind us, it is time to look into 2010 and beyond. Our strategic plan is underreview, our events and operations are all being looked at closely by the staff and board. Wemust ensure that Rowing Queensland can deliver on the expectations of its members,volunteers and supporters. I encourage everyone to provide feedback and input into ourorganisation. I look forward to working with you all closely in 2010 and beyond.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REPORTMr. ROSS SYMONDS

2009 was another big year for Rowing in Queensland. The implementation of effectivebusiness plans have realised achievements in many areas of the organisation that we should allbe proud of. The following report speaks for itself and I have presented the results for eachKey Performance Indicator from the 2008-10 Strategic Plan in a simple to read format.

2009 has continued to build on the recent successes of the past and has set the platform forthe future. I look forward to observing the impact of these activities and anticipate that all willbe enthused and motivated by them in the coming years.

Financial PositionRowing Queensland Inc is in a sound financial position. As a brief summary of the accounts, Iwill draw your attention to the following components of the audited financial report.

Revenues from Ordinary Activities returned a $6,564 deficit in 2009.

Overall, income revenue increased from 2008 to 2009 which saw the Association reach the $1Mfor the first time for income revenue. Factors impacting here included increased revenueprimarily from the Brisbane City Council sponsorship grant for the Boat Light Subsidy program,various one off grants for development and High performance initiatives, hosting the 2009Australian Masters Championships and the increased participation of the Regatta program.

With regards to operating expenses, three significant increases require comment. Theincreases in Administration and Employment expenditure is related to the growth of theadministrational capacity of the Rowing Queensland Office from the employment of a HighPerformance Manager, and the Education and Safety initiatives and the Regatta costs. Theseactivities were offset by the resulting increase in revenue derived from these activities.

AcknowledgementsI would like to thank the RQI Board, staff and our leading volunteers and representatives fromacross Queensland for their efforts throughout 2009. The greatest strength of the organisationcontinues to be the volunteer members. Their dedication and commitment often goes well

10

beyond what would normally be expected. For Rowing Queensland Inc to continue to be aneffective tool for promoting and developing our sport in Queensland, RQI must become morerelevant to the members and stakeholders that it represents, running the business of sportmore effectively and efficiently than ever before. As such, the Board is committed to bestpractice models of governance to guarantee the long term viability of the organisation. TheBoard drives organisational performance through the management team and establishesappropriate control processes and accountability systems.

Thank you to MPM Marketing Services and their leading brand CASTAWAY for their continuingsupport through the current structural changes within the organisation. As the Organisation’sPrincipal Partner, their support and commitment is enduring and gratefully received, and nowranks as one of Australia’s longest continual partnerships of a sporting organisation.

ROWING QUEENSLAND BUSINESS UNIT REPORTS

i. DEVELOPMENT MANAGER REPORTSAMUEL PICKETT

Schools

Rising Talent Camp - The Rising Talent Camp was held at the Bucca rowing course followingthe Queensland State Schools Championships. This is the third consecutive year the RisingTalent Camp has been conducted and as such is showing strong benefits for Queensland’sjunior rowers, with past rowers medalling at State and National level and others showing astrong dominance in the U17 division at the Australian Championships. This camp focused onyear 10 athletes who rank in the top 20 (10 male & 10 female) anthropometrically in regards toheight, arm span, Talent Identification testing and 2000m Ergometer performance. At theDevelopment Manager’s discretion there was a cause for athlete inclusion into the camp foroutstanding on-water performances. The camp also selected the top performing year 10 and12 school coaches who provided great depth of knowledge to our future rowing stars.

Junior Elite Talent Squad - The Junior Elite Talent Squad (JETS) was held on the back ofthe Rising Talent camp at Bucca rowing course. This camp selected the top year 12 rowersfrom Queensland and the best performing coaches in the school rowing systems for an actionpacked 2 days. Three of the athletes invited to the JETS camp were also selected into thenewly reformed Passport program which is a Rowing Queensland and Rowing Australia fundedprogram. The Junior Elite Talent Squad camp now in its 5th year has proven to be a strongdevelopment tool for Queenslands future rowers having been replicated at a National level withRowing Australia’s JETS camp.

Regional School Regattas - The regional school regattas were contested for the fourthconsecutive year with championships being held in South Queensland, Central Queensland andNorth Queensland. The championships featured some very fast performances and close racesand were a great lead up to the Queensland State Schools championships.

Talent Identification Testing - Rowing Queensland conducted Talent Identification Testingat the South Queensland School Championships, Central Queensland Schools Championshipsand throughout State, GPS and BSRA schools. The TID testing is a development initiative thathas been relocated from the high performance program to identify athletes whom have longterm potential for rowing. This methodology is now implemented Nationwide to invest inathletes with long term potential from junior level up. During 2009 Rowing Queenslandconducted Talent Identification Testing on 540 students.

Development Test Camp Series - In 2009 Rowing Queensland initiated the DevelopmentTest Camp series which have been conducted in South Queensland with a view to expand thecamps further into North Queensland. The camps are targeted at developing rowers from year9 through to youth level (21yrs). The camps which are run monthly have been designed to aidathlete development by assessing on-water and off water performances which relate to rowingskills, rowing posture, core strength, boat speed and athlete dynamic strength. A keycomponent of the test camps is the education session that informs coaches and athletes on keytopics that relate to rowing performance. The Camps provide Queensland’s rowers with astepping stone from school level rowing to Rowing Australia’s Elite Development Program(State based time trials).

Education – In 2009 Rowing Australia conducted a review and update of the NationalCoaching Accreditation System (Rowing), this review is necessary for the Rowing AustraliaAccreditation Syllabus to gain reaccreditation with the Australian Sports Commission. RowingQueensland has been present in all National education meetings to ensure the contentintegrated into the new syllabus is cutting edge and will allow Australia’s rowing coaches to bethe best in the World.

15

Rowing Queensland has conducted seven level 1 and one level 2 coaching courses inQueensland with two Level 2 and one Level 1 course being cancelled due to restrictions beingactioned by Rowing Australia to allow for the new syllabus to be completed. RowingQueensland has educated 105 level 1 coaches and 8 level 2 coaches.

Interregional Championships – Unfortunately due to a lack of support from the majority ofthe regions the 2009 Interregional Championships were cancelled. Rowing Queensland hasvowed to review the current format of the Championships and will consider it’s viability ineither its current or an alternative format for 2010 onwards.

Clubs

Club Development Subsidy - Rowing Queensland conducted the Club Development Subsidy(CDS) program for the third consecutive year; the CDS is an initiative of the RowingQueensland Board to allow all affiliated clubs/ associations to proactively determine whatresources they require for their own specific needs, and how to best go about addressing thisrequirement. In 2009 Rowing Queensland contributed $20,000.00 to the successful CDSapplicants. This $20,000 has allowed the following to occur:

Development of the Logan and Districts Rowing Association. Volunteer Management Plan at the University of QLD Boat Club. Development of Mackay’s existing coaches. Safe Rowing Program at Centenary which identifies risks on the Brisbane River past

Indooroopilly Bridge. Coach and Licensing project at Sunshine Coast Rowing Club developing coaches and

motorboat drivers.The Club Development Subsidy is not an equipment grant with its primary objective to promotethe development of club rowing initiatives and the subsequent development of their members.

Central Queensland Development Camp – The Central Queensland Development campwas held at Bucca Rowing Course in Bundaberg. This camp focused largely on youth rowerswith a very large showing from the Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Brisbane Metropolitanregions. The camp provided youth rowers with on-water & land feedback regarding rowingtechnique, stretching and posture, hydration levels, warming up and cooling down processes.There were also guest speakers talking to the 90 plus attendees about International racingexperiences, racing tactics, core strength and the neutral spine.

South Queensland Masters Camp – The South Queensland Masters camp was heldamongst bucketing rain, strong head winds and very rough conditions at Lake Kawana RowingCourse. The Masters camp ran over two days and covered topics such as: rowing technique,strength and conditioning, stretching and rowing feedback methods. The camp featured onwater skills, drills and numerous racing pieces which proved very challenging given the roughconditions.

North Queensland Masters Camp – The North Queensland Masters camp was conductedout of the Townsville and JCU Rowing Club. The camp provided on-water coaching for athletesand mentoring for local coaches in the Townsville region. This camp provided the Townsvilleregion with the opportunity to tap into the coaching experience of the visiting coaches.

Adaptive Program – The adaptive rowing program continued in 2009, with a greater level ofinput from Rowing Australia highlighted by visits from the RA Head Coach whereby he spenttime on the water with Dragon’s Rowing Club’s top adaptive rowers. Good performances wereseen by Peter Siri in 2009 which was highlighted by his selection into the 2009 AustralianLTA4+. Rowing Queensland would like to thank Dragon’s Rowing Club, Sue Wallace and BillCowley for their driving force behind Queensland adaptive rowing.

Communication (Slipstream and Nationals Newsletters) - In 2009 Rowing Queenslandmade a concerted effort to enhance the communication methods used by the office staff toRowing Queensland’s affiliated members. These communication strategies actioned thefollowing:

Email News of Queensland Rowers performances at the National Championships (dayby day).

Email News of Queensland Youth Cup team performances at SIRC (day by day). Development of the Rowing Queensland FACEBOOK page. Implementation of the Slipstream Youth Rowing Newsletter.

Queensland Youth Cup Team – The Queensland Youth Cup team created history winningthe Rusty Robertson trophy for the first time!!! The 2009 Queensland team arrived at theSydney International Rowing Course with unfinished business to settle; in 2008 Queenslandplaced second in the overall point score having been pipped by New Zealand by one (1) pointon the final day of competition with this in mind the 2009 Queensland Youth Cup Team pulledtogether and set about creating history.

Queensland finished on top with 97 points and was pushed all the way by Western Australia(2nd on 89 points) and Victoria (3rd on 84 points). RQ High Performance Manager, Chad Kingpraised the Queensland team saying that “with a few notable standout performances it was theteams consistency throughout the regattas that lead them to this victory. I am very proud ofhow this team prepared and has pulled together on tour.”

Masters Interstate Team – The 2009 Queensland Masters Interstate Team competedfiercely at the Australian Masters Championships on the Fitzroy River, Rockhampton. In somesizzling hot performances Queensland placed second in every event with one standoutperformance being the Queensland Men’s 8+ narrow defeat to the Victorian’s by 0.01 secondsor 5cm. Although there is no official point score for the Masters interstate championships,Queensland was very strong across the board and this is a testament to the strength ofMasters rowing in our state.

ii) High PerformanceChad King

Queensland TeamsThe 2009 Australian Rowing Championships were contested at Lake Barrington in Tasmania incold and windy conditions. Queensland clubs were well represented considering the travellingdistance with the University of Queensland Boat Club and Commercial Rowing Cub placing 8th

and 10th respectively on the overall point score for the regatta. Queensland had an excellentperformance at the Interstate Regatta with wins by Sally Kehoe in the Women’s single and alsoby the Women’s Youth eight. For the second year in a row the team placed a close second onthe point score ladder just behind Victoria. For the first time since its inception Queensland wonthe overall point score at the Youth Cup regatta in July. This was an exceptional effort winningover the strong New Zealand team who have won the event consistently in previous years.Well done all selected coaches and crews.

International ResultsNineteen Queensland rowers and coaches were selected into the 2009 Australia Senior, U23and Junior Rowing Teams and there were some outstanding results. Most notable was thesilver medal won by Jared Bidwell in the Men’s Quad Scull and Tim Conrad’s Men’s Coxless Fourat the Senior World Rowing Championships. Other notable performances included AlisonScobbie and Gabbie Kukla winning a bronze medal at the U23 World Championships, a goldmedal won by Anna Kaszycki in the Junior Women’s Coxless Four as well as silver medals in theJunior Men’s Coxless Four won by Nick Allen-Ducat and Tom Amies coached by John Bowes,and also by the Junior Women’s Quad Scull including Jess Hall and Maddie Edmunds.

Performance Enhancement Team (PET)The PET was further developed this season with the addition of Rod McLean (Physiotherapist),Stuart Smith (Strength and Conditioning coach) and Dr Jeff Conn (Medical). Rod joins us aftersuccessfully attaining his Masters in Physiotherapy and has a vast amount of experience withthe Great Britain Rowing Team and also the Minardi Formula 1 Racing team. Stuart is equallyas qualified in his field with a Masters in Strength and Conditioning and Dr Conn is currentlylinked with Rowing Australia as the Australian Junior team doctor. The PET will not onlycontinue to support the Passport, NTID and NEDP programs but also other elite rowers andclubs in QLD by acting as the point of reference for medical support, education sessions andalso to conduct athlete screening as requested by the High Performance Manager.

RQ GymRowing Queensland has invested in developing a specialised rowing gymnasium locatedunderneath the office in West End. The RQ gym will offer a facility with the space andequipment that allows Olympic lifting and other compound exercises that rowing clubs do notnecessarily have. The equipment includes lifting platforms, bench press and pull, squat racksand dumbbells and is made available to NTID, NEDP and Passport rowers.

Passport ProgramThe Passport program was developed to create opportunities for Youth rowers who have thepotential for international rowing success at Junior, U23 and Senior competition. Whilst theconcept of the Passport Program remains the same the structure has changed somewhat thisseason. Selected rowers participated in a centralised strength and conditioning program andtrained out of the newly developed RQ Gym under the watchful eye of RQI staff. The selectedathletes this season were:

Madeleine Edmunds (CRC) Jessica Hall (Brisbane & GPS) Chloe Hill (Brisbane & GPS) Adelaide Dadic (Brisbane & GPS) Anna Kaszycki (TRC) Gabby Kukla (Brisbane & GPS) Tom Amies (UQBC) Tom Coates (UQBC) Cam Smith (CRC) Angus McColl (UQBC) Tom McAuley (UQBC)

Moving forward… We must maintain effective communication to clubs, athletes and coaches. Provide support to clubs to increase the number and standard of high performance

athletes and coaches Provide greater direction for clubs, coaches, and athletes through NTID and NEDP

ii. OPERATIONS AND EVENTSCAMERON ALLEN

Rowing Queensland RegattasThe 2009 Regatta season saw a further jump in regatta entries and athlete numbers across thewhole of Queensland. Again North Queensland was a major area of growth, with the Mackayand Cairns regattas in particular almost doubling in size from 2008. The introduction of theTablelands Regatta in 2010 will be an interesting case to test whether growth will continue.Both the Queensland Masters Championships and the Queensland Schools Championships hadrecord numbers of entries, with the Schools Championships being an extremely successfulevent run over three days at Bucca Weir and over 750 individual competitors. The MastersChampionships growth can possibly be attributed to the occurrence of the World MastersGames in Sydney; however the growth follows the trends of the past few years. In SouthQueensland the Pine Rivers and Noosa Regatta had extremely large growth in entry numberswhich is a large boost to both of those clubs.

ROMSThe statistics provided above were extracted due to the continual increases in performance andfunctionality of the Rowing Online Management System (ROMS). Over the course of the yearseveral group and individual training sessions were held on the use of ROMS which is allowingclubs to utilize its functionality more fully. Towards the end of 2009 Rowing Australiarenegotiated a new agreement with the creating company Bennett and Francis for thecontinued improvement and licensing of ROMS.

Boat Race OfficialsThe past year has seen the introduction of the National Officiating Accreditation Scheme runthrough the Australian Sports Commission. To this end Boat Race Official courses are now runto a National standard with an Australian wide accreditation system similar to that for coaches.

Queensland was well represented in officials at the World Masters Games, with several takingtime to travel to Sydney to assist with the largest regatta in Australia’s history. Dr StephenHinchy was the Regatta Referee and with his team of officials ran from all reports a highlysuccessful and efficient event.

19

2009 saw Phillip Gunning join the ranks of Queensland Level 3 officials, which allows them toofficiate at an Australian Championships. He joins Dr Stephen Hinchy, Roy Hinchy, PeterHuggett, Neville Dougan, Anthony Levick and Caroline Schomberg. The staff at RowingQueensland would like to take this opportunity to thank all Boat Race Officials who assisted atall regattas over 2009, your presence is always greatly appreciated and we hope to work withyou again in 2010!

King’s Cup and Interstate LuncheonThe date for the King’s Cup & Interstate Luncheon for 2009 was moved after discussionbetween the Rowing QLD Board and the Luncheon committee, and was set for the 12th ofFebruary 2010 with the intention of being more relevant to the National Championships andInterstate Regatta.

Rowing Queensland ConferenceRowing Queensland held its biennial Conference in October at the Urban Hotel, Brisbane. Over60 coaches and administrators travelled from all over Queensland to attend making the event agreat success. We were very fortunate to have the services of a wide variety of excellent guestspeakers, including Peter Shakespear and Andrew Matheson from the National Rowing Centreof Excellence, QAS Head Coach Tim Conrad, NSWIS Rowing Manager and Beijing OlympianMarty Rabjohns and Rowing Queensland High Performance Manager Chad King. We would liketo thank the staff of Urban Hotel for the excellent hospitality that we were shown while thereand to all of those who attended.

Australian Masters Rowing ChampionshipsOver four days at the end of May the Rowing Queensland hosted the Australian MastersRowing Championships on the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton. Over 500 competitors journeyedto Central Queensland including many from Tasmania, South Australia and Perth which wasfantastic to see. The racing over the four days was fantastic, a notable example being theInterstate Men’s Eight which the photo finish camera judged as being won by Victoria by thesmallest of margins, 5cm or 0.01 of a second. Several innovations where brought in for theevent, including a 6m x 4m screen which showed live footage of all racing from three camerapoints down the course and an extended social program which included a rodeo at therenowned Great Western Hotel and ‘Burgers and Bonfires’ held at the regatta venue. Thefeedback from competitors was excellent and we believe a good time was had by everyoneinvolved. Rowing Queensland was extremely fortunate to have the support of theRockhampton Regional Council during and leading up to the event; special thanks must also goto the Local Organising Committee headed by Robert Lang. Without their tireless efforts theevent would not have been the success it was.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO MEMBERS OF ROWING QUEENSLAND INCFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009

Scope

The financial report and committee of management’s responsibility:The financial report is a special purpose financial report and comprises the Balance Sheet, statement ofIncome & Expenditure, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the statement to themembers for Rowing Queensland Inc (the ‘association’), for the year ended 31 December 2009.

The association’s committee of management is responsible for preparing a financial report that presentsfairly the financial position and performance of the association. This includes responsibility for themaintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent anddetect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financialreport. The committee of management has determined that the accounting policies used and describedin Note 1 to the financial statements are consistent with the financial reporting requirements of theAssociations Incorporation Act QLD and the association’s constitution and are appropriate to meet theneeds of the members. These policies do not require the application of all accounting standards andother mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia. No opinion is expressed as to whether theaccounting policies used are appropriate to the needs of the members.

The financial report has been prepared for distribution to the members for the purpose of fulfilling thecommittee of management’s financial reporting requirements under the Associations Incorporation ActQLD and the association’s constitution. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance onthis report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members, or for anypurpose other than that for which it was prepared.

Audit approach:

We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to themembers of the association. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standardsin order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of materialmisstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement,selective testing, the inherent limitation of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather thanconclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have beendetected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly,in accordance with the accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements, a view which isconsistent with our understanding of the association’s financial position, and of its performance asrepresented by the results of its operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included: Examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and

disclosures in the financial report; and Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant

accounting estimates made by the committee of management.

While we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting whendetermining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assuranceon internal controls.

37

IndependenceWe are independent of the association, and have met the independence requirements of Australianprofessional ethical pronouncements.

Audit OpinionIn our opinion, the financial report of Rowing Queensland Inc presents fairly, in accordance with theaccounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements, a view which is consistent with ourunderstanding of the association’s financial position as at 31 December 2009, and of its financialperformance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended.
