Notes to the Financial Statements 

Totara School 

For the year ended 31 December 2019 

1. Statement of Accounting Policies 

a) Reporting Entity 

Totara School (the School) is a Crown entity as specified in the Crown Entities Act 2004 and a school as described in the Education Act 1989.  The Board of Trustees (the Board) is of the view that the School is a public benefit entity for financial reporting purposes. 

b) Basis of Preparation 

Reporting Period 

The financial reports have been prepared for the period 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 and in accordance with the requirements of the Public Finance Act 1989. 

Basis of Preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and the accounting policies have been consistently applied throughout the period. 

Financial Reporting Standards Applied 

The Education Act 1989 requires the School, as a Crown entity, to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand, applying the Public Sector Public Benefit Entity (PBE) Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime as appropriate to public benefit entities that qualify for Tier 2 reporting.  The school is considered a Public Benefit Entity as it meets the criteria specified as "having a primary objective to provide goods and/or services for community or social benefit and where any equity has been provided with a view to supporting that primary objective rather than for financial return to equity holders". 

Standard Early Adopted 

In line with the Financial Statements of the Government, the School has elected to early adopt PBE IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.  PBE IFRS 9 replaces PBE IPSAS 29 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.  Information about the adoption of PBE IFRS 9 is provided in Note 25. 

PBE Accounting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime 

The School qualifies for Tier 2 as the School is not publicly accountable and is not considered large as it falls below the expenditure threshold of $30 million per year.  All relevant reduced disclosure concessions have been taken. 

Measurement Base 

The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis unless otherwise noted in a specific accounting policy. Presentation Currency 

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar. 

Specific Accounting Policies 

The accounting policies used in the preparation for these financial statements are set out below. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. 

Totara School Annual Accounts Totara School  

Page 8

Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment 

The School reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting date.  The School believes that the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as disclosed in the Significant Accounting Policies are appropriate to the nature of the property, plant and equipment at reporting date.  Property, plant and equipment is disclosed at note 11. 

Critical Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies 

Management has exercised the following critical judgement in applying accounting policies: 

Classification of Leases 

Determining whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease requires judgement as to whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the school.  Judgement is required on various aspects that include, but are not limited to , the fair value of the leased asset, the economic life of the leased asset, whether or not to include renewal options in the lease term, and determining an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments.  Classification as a finance lease means the asset is recognised in the statement of financial position as property, plant and equipment, whereas for an operating lease no such asset is recognised. 

Recognition of Grants 

The School reviews the grants monies received at the end of each reporting period and whether any require a provision to carry forward amounts unspent.  The School believes all grants received have been appropriately recognised as a liability if required.  Government grants are disclosed at Note 2.  

c) Revenue Recognition 

Government Grants 

The school receives funding from the Ministry of Education.  The following are the main types of funding that the School receives: 

Operation grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding, which is in the year that the funding is received. 

Teachers salaries grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding in the salary period they relate to.  The grants are not received in cash by the School and are paid directly to teachers by the Ministry of Education. 

Use of the land and buildings grants are recorded as revenue in the period the School used that land and buildings.  These are not received in cash by the School as they equate to the deemed expense for using the land and buildings which are owned by the Crown. 

Other Grants 

Other grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding, unless there are unfulfilled conditions attached to the grant, in which case the amount relating to the unfulfilled conditions is recognised as a liability and released to revenue as the conditions are fulfilled. 

Donations, Gifts and Bequests 

Donations, gifts and bequests are recorded as revenue when their receipt is formally acknowledged by the School. Interest Revenue 

Interest Revenue earned on cash and cash equivalents and investments is recorded as revenue in the period it is earned. d) Use of Land and Buildings Expense 

The property from which the School operates is owned by the Crown and managed by the Ministry of Education on behalf of the Crown.  The School's use of the land and buildings as occupant is based on a property occupancy document as gazetted by the Ministry.  The expense is based on an assumed market rental yield on the value of land and buildings as used for rating purposes.  This is a non-cash expense that is offset by a non-cash grant from the Ministry. 

Totara School Annual Accounts Totara School  

Page 9

e) Operating Lease Payments 

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

f) Finance Lease Payments 

Finance lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability.  The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term on an effective interest basis. 

g) Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank balances, deposits held at call with banks, and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less, and bank overdrafts.  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents represent fair value. 

h) Accounts Receivable 

Short-term receivables are recorded at the amount due, less an allowance for credit losses.  The school applies the simplified expected credit loss model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for receivables.  In measuring expected credit losses, short-term receivables have been assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics.  They have been grouped based on the days past due.  Short-term receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.  Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include the debtor being in liquidation. 

Prior Year Policy 

Accounts Receivable represents items that the School has issued invoices for or accrued for, but has not received payment for at year end.  Receivables are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently recorded at the amount the School realistically expects to receive.  A receivable is considered uncollectable where there is objective evidence the School will not be able to collect all amounts due.  The amount that is uncollectable (the provision for uncollectibility) is the difference between the amount due and the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. 

i) Inventories 

Inventories are consumable items held for sale and comprise of stationery and school uniforms.  They are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis.  Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of activities less the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.  Any write down from cost to net realisable value is recorded as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense in the period of the write down. 

j) Property, Plant and Equipment 

Land and buildings owned by the Crown are excluded from these financial statements.  The Board's use of the land and buildings as 'occupant' is based on property occupancy document. 

Improvements to buildings owned by the Crown are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of donated assets, fair value at the date of receipt, less accumulated deprecation and impairment losses.  Cost or fair value as the case my be, includes those costs that relate directly to bringing the asset to the location where it will be used and making sure it is in the appropriate condition for its intended use. 

Property, plant and equipment acquired with individual values under $1,000 are not capitalised, they are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense. 

Gains and losses on disposals (i.e. sold or given away) are determined by comparing the proceeds received with the carrying amounts (i.e. the book value).  The gain or loss arising from the disposal of an item or property, plant and equipment is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense. 

Finance Leases 

A finance lease transfers to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset, whether or not title is eventually transferred.  At the start of the lease term, finance leases are recognised as assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments.  The finance charge is charged to the surplus or deficit over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.  The amount recognised as an asset is depreciated over its useful life.  If there is no reasonable certainty whether the School will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term the asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life. 

Totara School Annual Accounts Totara School  

Page 10

Depreciation 

Property, plant and equipment except for library resources are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis.  Library resources are depreciated on a diminishing value basis.  Depreciation of all assets is reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense. 

The estimated useful lives of the assets are: 

Building improvements to Crown owned Assets 

10 - 75 Years

Furniture and Equipment 

10 - 15 Years

Information and Communication Technology 

4 - 5 Years

Motor Vehicles 

5 Years

Textbooks 

3 Years

Leased Assets Held Under a Finance Lease 

4 Years

Library Resources 

12.5% Diminishing Value



k) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets 

The school does not hold any cash generating assets.  Assets are considered cash generating where the primary objective is to generate a commercial return. 

Non Cash Generating Assets 

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets held at cost that have a finite useful life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable service amount.  The recoverable service amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 

Value in use is determined using an approach based on either a depreciated replacement cost approach, restoration cost approach, or a service units approach.  The most appropriate approach used to measure value in use depends on the nature of the impairment and availability of information. 

If an asset's carrying amount excess it recoverable service amount, the asset is regarded as impaired and the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount.  The total impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit. 

The reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit. 

l) Accounts Payable 

Accounts Payable represents liabilities for goods and services provided to the School prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid.  Accounts Payable are recorded at the amount of cash required to settle those liabilities.  The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

m) Employee Entitlements 

Short-Term Employee Entitlements 

Employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are measured based on accrued entitlements at current rates of pay.  These include salaries and wages accrued up to balance date, annual leave earned to but not yet taken at balance date. 

Long-Term Employee Entitlements 

Employee benefits that are due to be settled beyond 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service, such as long service lease and retirement gratuities, have been calculated on an actuarial basis.  The calculations are base on: 

• likely future entitlements accruing to staff, based on years of service, years to entitlement, the likelihood that staff will reach the point of entitlement, and contractual entitlement information;  

• and the present value of the estimated future cash flows.  

Totara School Annual Accounts Totara School  

Page 11

n) Revenue Received in Advance 

Revenue received in advance relates to fees received from grants where there are unfulfilled obligations for the School to provide services in the future.  The fees are recorded as revenue as the obligations are fulfilled and the fees earned. 

The School holds sufficient funds to enable the refund of unearned grants, should the School be unable to provide the services to which they relate. 

o) Provision for Cyclical Maintenance 

The property from which the School operates is owned by the Crown, and is vested in the Ministry.  The Ministry has gazetted a property occupancy document that sets out the Board's property maintenance responsibilities.  The Board is responsible for maintaining the land, buildings and other facilities on the School site in a state of good order and repair. 

Cyclical maintenance, which involves painting the interior and exterior of the School, makes up the most significant part of the Board's responsibilities outside day-to-day maintenance.  The provision for cyclical maintenance represents the obligation the Board has to the Ministry and is based on the Board's ten year property plan (10YPP). 

p) Financial Assets and Liabilities 

The School's financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and investments.  All of these financial assets, except for investments that are shares, are categorised as "loans and receivables" for accounting purposes in accordance with financial reporting standards. 

Investments that are shares are categorised as "available for sale" for accounting purposes in accordance with financial reporting standards. 

The School's financial liabilities comprise of accounts payable, borrowings, finance lease liability, and painting contract liability.  All of these financial liabilities are categorised as "financial liabilities measured at amortised cost" for accounting purposes in accordance with financial reporting standards. 

q) Borrowings 

Borrowings on normal commercial terms are initially recognised at the amount borrowed plus transaction costs.  Interest due on the borrowings is subsequently accrued and added to the borrowings balance.  Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the School has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after balance date. 

Grants determined by the Minister of Education for operational activities includes all items (core components) included in the Operational Funding notice. 

Borrowings include but not limited to bank overdrafts, operating leases, finance leases, painting contracts and term loans. r) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

The financial statements have been prepared on a GST exclusive basis, with the exception of accounts receivable and accounts payable which are stated as GST inclusive. 

The net amount of GST paid to, or received from, the IRD, including the GST relating to investing and financing activities, is classified as a net operating cash flow in the Statement of Cash Flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of GST. 

s) Budget Figures 

The budget figures are extracted from the School budget that was approved by the Board at the start of the year. t) Services Received In-Kind 

From time to time the School receives services in-kind, including the time of volunteers.  The School has elected not to recognise services received in kind in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

17. Related Party Transactions 

The School is a controlled entity of the Crown, and the Crown provides the major source of revenue to the school. The school enters into transactions with other entities also controlled by the Crown, such as government departments, state-owned enterprises and other Crown entities. Transactions with these entities are not disclosed as they occur on terms and conditions no more or less favourable than those that it is reasonable to expect the school would have adopted if dealing with that entity at arm’s length. 

Related party disclosures have not been made for transactions with related parties that are within a normal supplier or client/recipient relationship on terms and condition no more or less favourable than those that it is reasonable to expect the school would have adopted in dealing with the party at arm’s length in the same circumstances. Further, transactions with other government agencies (for example, Government departments and Crown entities) are not disclosed as related party transactions when they are consistent with the normal operating arrangements between government agencies and undertaken on the normal terms and conditions for such transactions.

20. Contingencies 

There are no contingent liabilities (except as noted below) and no contingent assets as at 31 December 2019 (Contingent liabilities and assets at 31 December 2018: nil). 

Holidays Act Compliance – schools payroll 

The Ministry of Education performs payroll processing and payments on behalf of school boards of trustees, through payroll service provider Education Payroll Limited.  

The Ministry has commenced a review of the schools sector payroll to ensure compliance with the Holidays Act 2003. The initial phase of this review has identified areas of non-compliance. The Ministry has recognised an estimated provision based on the analysis of sample data, which may not be wholly representative of the total dataset for Teacher and Support Staff Entitlements. A more accurate estimate will be possible after further analysis of non-compliance has been completed, and this work is ongoing. Final calculations and potential impact on any specific individual will not be known until further detailed analysis has been completed. 

To the extent that any obligation cannot reasonably be quantified at 31 December 2019, a contingent liability for the school may exist. 

21. Commitments 

(a) Capital Commitments 

As at 31 December 2019 the Board has entered into contract agreements for capital works as follows: 

(a) A contract for Heating, Carpet and Autex to be completed in 2020, which will be fully funded by the Ministry of Education. $28,065 has been received of which $25,008 has been spent on the project to date 

(Capital commitments at 31 December 2018: $222,112)

22. Managing Capital 

The School’s capital is its equity and comprises capital contributions from the Ministry of Education for property, plant and equipment and accumulated surpluses and deficits. The School does not actively manage capital but attempts to ensure that income exceeds spending in most years. Although deficits can arise as planned in particular years, they are offset by planned surpluses in previous years or ensuing years.

24. Events After Balance Date 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of COVID-19 (a novel Coronavirus) a pandemic. Two weeks later, on 26 March, New Zealand increased its’ COVID-19 alert level to level 4 and a nationwide lockdown commenced. As part of this lockdown all schools were closed. Subsequently all schools and kura reopened on the 18th of May 2020. 

At the date of issuing the financial statements, the school has been able to absorb the majority of the impact from the nationwide lockdown as it was decided to start the annual Easter School holidays early. In the periods the school is open for tuition, the school has switched to alternative methods of delivering the curriculum, so students can learn remotely. 

At this time the full financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is not able to be determined, but it is not expected to be significant to the school. The school will continue to receive funding from the Ministry of Education, even while closed. 

25. Adoption of PBE IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 

In accordance with the transitional provisions of PBE IFRS 9, the school has elected not to restate the information for previous years to comply with PBE IFRS 9. Adjustments arising from the adoption of PBE IFRS 9 are recognised in opening equity at 1 January 2019. Accounting policies have been updated to comply with PBE IFRS 9. The main updates are:  

• Note 9 Receivables: This policy has been updated to reflect that the impairment of short-term receivables is now determined by applying an expected credit loss model.  

• Investments: Term deposits: This policy has been updated to explain that a loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised only if the estimated loss allowance is not trivial. 

Upon transition to PBE IFRS9 there were no material adjustments to these financial statements. 

26. Non Compliance with Section 87A and 87C of the Education Act 1989 

The draft financial statements were not submitted to theauditor by the statutory deadline of 31 March 2020 and the Board was unable to providetheir audited financial statements to the Ministry of Education by 31 May 2020as required by section 87A and 87C of the Education Act 1989. 

The breach was due to a nationwide lockdown which commencedon the 26 March 2020 after the World Health Organisation declared the outbreakof Covid-19 (a novel Coronavirus) a pandemic.
