4. Chairman’s  Report  of  next  AGM    The  Chairman  informed  members  that  he  was  pleased  to  report  the  Foundation  was  in  a  very  good  financial  position,  noting  that  Treasurer,  Michelle  Kiley,  would  provide  a  detailed  report  to  members.    

5. Treasurer’s  Report  and  adoption  of  Financial  Report  year  ended  28  February  2012  

 The  Treasurer  referred  members  to  her  report  circulated  with  the  Agenda  papers:    Members  are  reminded  that  the  ANZAN  E&RF  financial  year  is  March  to  February.  Bell  Partners  are  the  investment  advisors  for  ANZAN  E&RF  at  this  time.  In  keeping  with  due  corporate  governance  however,  the  position  of  ANZAN  E&RF  financial  advisor  has  recently  been  tendered;  tenders  have  now  been  received  and  are  currently  being  reviewed  by  the  executive.      The  value  of  the  investment  portfolio  at  29  February  2012  was  $1,886,299.  This  compares  with  $1,630,874  on  28th  February  2011.  Members  are  reminded  that  over  the  course  of  the  financial  year  a  total  of  $215,000  was  transferred  from  the  ERF  cheque  account  (matured  debentures  and  cash)  to  the  investment  portfolio.    At  the  time  of  reporting  at  the  AGM  in  May  2011,  the  value  of  the  portfolio  was  $1,854,282.  The  current  value  of  our  portfolio,  as  at  11th  May  2012  is  $1,912,320.  An  additional  $4,927  is  held  in  a  cheque  account  (i.e.  outside  of  Bell  portfolio).  Additional  monies  transferred  in  to  the  cheque  account  (from  the  ANZAN  cheque  account)  over  the  last  financial  year  include  the  Bayer  Schering  sponsorship  for  ANZAN  Asia  Pacific  Affairs  fellowship  to  the  value  of  $55,000  (inclusive  of  GST)  and  a  final  reconciliation  from  a  WCN  sponsorship  2005  to  the  value  of  $55,000  (inclusive  of  GST).      Growth  of  the  investment  portfolio  has  been  modest  (+2.62%)  over  the  last  12  months.  This  compares  with  -­‐6.20%  for  the  S&P/ASX  all  ords  accumulation  index.    Members  are  reminded  that  our  investment  strategy  is  conservative  to  protect  the  foundation’s  assets.      In  August  2011  there  was  a  shift  of  10%  of  our  asset  allocation  from  fixed  interest  investments  in  to  Australian  shares,  to  take  advantage  of  the  opportunities  in  the  market  at  that  time.  This  shifted  the  portfolio  from  an  overweighted  defensive  style  portfolio  to  a  more  neutral  position  defensive  portfolio  of  around  60%  defensive  assets  and  40%  growth  assets.  This  provided  a  modest  favourable  return  in  the  last  half  of  2011.  In  keeping  with  the  recent  run  up  in  the  Australian  share  market  we  have  recently  reduced  our  weight  in  that  asset  class  slightly  and  have  moved  some  monies  in  to  corporate  bonds.  The  structure  of  the  current  portfolio  is  as  listed  below.

Points  of  discussion  amongst  council  and  the  executive  over  the  last  12  months  relating  to  this  foundation  have  been  two  fold.  The  first  has  been  the  timing  and  nature  of  distributing  funds  for  research.  It  was  decided  by  the  executive  and  endorsed  by  council  at  our  August  2011  Council  meeting  to  defer  any  further  action  on  this  front  at  this  time  of  relative  market  volatility.  Also,  as  the  running  expenses  for  ANZAN  have  been  increasing  in  recent  years,  the  previous  strategy  of  transferring  funds  from  ANZAN  to  the  ERF  over  the  longer  term  is  less  likely  to  be  sustainable,  however  this  will  be  continued  to  be  reviewed  on  an  annual  basis.    In  the  mean  time  this  foundation  continues  to  distribute  funds  for  the  ANZAN  Young  Investigator  Awards,  Travel  Grants  for  the  Overseas  Training  Positions,  the  Leonard  Cox  Award    and  ANZAN  Asia  Pacific  Affairs  Fellowship  (total  value  $117,000  in  2011-­‐12).  In  addition  it  provides  the  salary  for  the  Brain  School  Coordinator  ($20,000  per  annum).      Other  expenses  incurred  by  the  foundation  include  audit  and  accountancy  fees  ($2,400)  and  investment  advisor  fees  ($16,708).  A  comprehensive  financial  report  is  available  from  the  Association  Secretariat  or  via  the  members’  portal  on  the  ANZAN  website.      Members  are  reminded  that  we  have  been  informed  of  a  substantial  bequest  to  the  ANZANERF,  subject  to  the  life  interest  of  a  friend  of  the  deceased.      Dr  M  Kiley  May  2012    The  President  thanked  the  Treasurer.

Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists Education and Research Foundation Treasurer’s Report May 2013 Members are reminded that the ANZAN E&RF financial year is the same as ANZAN’s financial year, i.e. March to February. The position of investment advisor for ANZAN E&RF was tendered in June 2012. Three companies (Bell Partners, Morgan Stanley and UBS) were invited to submit tenders. At the completion of the process Morgan Stanley (MS) were the successful tenderer. Their success was based on our belief that they were able to provide very sound advice in keeping with our investment philosophy at very competitive costs. We also felt that their internal regulatory processes were superior to the other tenderers. Adam Griffiths is our new financial adviser and the treasurer continues to work closely with him. Mr Griffith’s recognises our intention to continue with an overall conservative approach to protect our assets, but also recognises the need for growth to support the Foundation’s activities. Currently the portfolio has an asset allocation of 66.2% in income assets (Cash – 8.5% and Australian Fixed Interest – 57.7%) and 33.8% in growth assets (Australian Shares 26.5% and Listed Property Trusts 7.3%). The transition of our investment portfolio was unavoidably protracted, but has now been completed. Our investment portfolio has continued to achieve growth over the last 12 months. Its current value is $2,535,427 (compared with $1,912,320 May 2012). This growth reflects not only investment returns, but a very generous bequest of $400,000 (which has now been transferred from our cash account to the investment platform), and a $40,000 donation from ANZAN. Redemptions that have been made over the last 6 months include Fairview Emerging Companies Fund ($100,000) (the reasoning is that this investment provides growth return not income and is currently costing 4.32% on the asset value of the investment), Schroder Credit Securities Fund ($400,000) (as the bond market is predicted to be near its peak) and Vanguard Australian Fixed Interest Fund ($100,000). We have been advised to retain Vanguard Australian Properties Securities Index ($80,482) as the commercial property market is expected to realise improved growth. We have recently increased the fixed interest security side of the portfolio with acquiring existing hybrid securities in ANZ preference shares ($50,173) and CBA Pearls ($50,576). We have also acquired $50,000 each of Westpac Capital Notes and NAB Convertible Preference shares through new public offerings. Share purchases over the last 6-9 months include Australian Leader’s Fund ($100,000), WAM Capital ($100,000) and Shopping Centres Australia ($80,000). Currently there is $1,052,699 invested in term Deposits throughout ANZ, National Bank, Westpac and Adelaide Bank at 90 day terms to maximise interest rate advantages.

Over the last 12 months the Foundation has distributed funds for the ANZAN Young Investigator Awards, Travel Grants for the Overseas Training Positions and the ANZAN Asia Pacific Affairs. In addition it provides the Brain School Co-ordinator salary. The issue of distributing funds for research is an ongoing point of discussion. It is the opinion of the outgoing executive and council that this is an important issue that must remain under review. Members are also reminded that we have been informed of a substantial bequest, subject to the life interest of a friend of the deceased. Dr M Kiley May 2013

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2013

1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESThis financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with AustralianAccounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritativepronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of theAssociation Incorporation Act (WA) 1987.

The financial report covers the Australian and New Zealand Association of NeurologistsEducation & Research Foundation Inc. as an individual entity. The Australian and New ZealandAssociation of Neurologists Education & Research Foundation Inc. is an association incorporatedin Western Australia under the Association Incorporation Act (WA) 1987.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs anddoes not take into account changing money values, or except where specifically stated, currentvaluations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given inexchange for assets.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Foundation in thepreparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unlessotherwise stated.

Income TaxThe Foundation is exempt from income tax under Section 50-5 of the Income Tax AssessmentAct, 1997, as a non-profit Foundation established for the encouragement of science.

Cash and cash equivalentsFor the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand, at banks and ondeposit.

Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets, comprising trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, financialassets and trade and other payables, are initially measured at fair value on trade date, whichincludes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist except wherethe instrument is classified at fair value through profit & loss in which case transaction costs areexpensed to profit & loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using theeffective interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset couldbe exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available,quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances,valuation techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is calculated as:

1 the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition

2 less principal repayments

3 plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initiallyrecognized and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and

4 less any reduction for impairment

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2013

1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The effective interest rate method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over therelevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash paymentsor receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through theexpected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financialinstrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions toexpected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with aconsequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit & loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading forthe purpose of short term profit taking, or when they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes,or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performanceevaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fairvalue basis in accordance with a documented risk management strategy. Such assets aresubsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value included in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable paymentsthat are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available for sale assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of beingclassified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated assuch by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there isneither a fixed maturity nor determinable payments.

Held to maturity

These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the company’s intention to hold theseinvestments to maturity. Any held to maturity investments held by the company are stated atamortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured atamortised cost.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuationtechniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’slength transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

ImpairmentAt each reporting date, the board assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financialinstrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolongeddecline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen.Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment of AssetsAt each reporting date, the board reviews the carrying values of it tangible and intangible assets todetermine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such anindication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the assets fair valueless cost to sell and value in use, is compared to the assets carrying value.

Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statementof comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2013

1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial liabilities arede-recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire.

The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred toanother party and their fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets orliabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest ratesapplicable to the investments.

Donations are recognised on a receipts basis.

Goods & Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where theamount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Foundation might encounter difficulty insettling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities

The Foundation manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

- preparing forward-looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing andfinancing activities;

- obtaining funding from various sources- maintaining a reputable credit profile- managing credit risk related to financial assets- only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions- comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial

Foreign exchange riskThe Foundation is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies following the closure of theNew Zealand denominated accounts during the year.

Credit riskExposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance bycounterparties of contractual obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Foundation.Credit risk is managed through maintaining procedures ensuring, to the extent possible, thatcustomers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness and includesutilisation of systems for that approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, the regular monitoringof exposures against such limits and the monitoring of the financial stability of significantcustomers and counterparties. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment.Credit terms are normally 14-30 days from the date of invoice.

Customers that do not meet the Foundation’s strict credit policies may only purchase in cash orusing recognised credit cards.

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain highcredit ratings or in entities that the finance committee has otherwise cleared as being financiallysound.

The company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or groupof counterparties.

Trade & other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high creditquality aggregates of such amounts are as detailed in Note 5

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by thefinance committee in accordance with approved Committee policy.

Net fair values

Fair value estimationThe fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table andcan be compared to their carrying values as presented in the balance sheet. Fair values are thoseamounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable,willing parties in an arms length transaction. Fair values derived may be based on information thatis estimated or subject to judgement, where changes in assumptions may have a material impacton the amounts estimated, Areas of judgement and the assumptions have been detailed below.

Differences between fair values and carrying values of financial instruments with fixed interestrates are due to the change in discount rates being applied by the market since their initialrecognition by the company.
