During the year, the Fund made significant inroads in both organisational strategic direction and development.

Therefore, I am pleased to report the achievement of a gross revenue of $8,095,992 and a net profit from operations of $1,438,770 for the year, compared to $3,984,876 in 2018.

The decrease in profit was attributed to the written-down value of the burnt Valenibose.
The Fund launched its Strategic Development Plan (2019 – 2023), which outlined five priority areas, which are Prudent Financial Sustainability, Language, Culture and Heritage, Communication, Leadership, Entrepreneurial and Business Skills and Human Capital Management.

Human Resources consultants Maxumise (Fiji) Limited conducted an organizational review of TTFB to identify human capital gaps.

It is significantly pleasing to note that the Fund’s investments continued to satisfactorily grow during the year.
The Fund reviewed its Treasury function which resulted in a re-negotiation of the term deposits in favour of higher interest rates and the full settlement of the $8 million loan.

Following this, all securities were released back to the Fund.

Shares in the RB Patel and Fijian Holdings Limited (FHL) increased during the year due to a share split.

RB Patel shares were split on a ratio of 1:5, increasing the Fund’s shareholding to 20,000,000 shares.
Share split for FHL was on a ratio of 1:10 increasing the Fund’s shareholding to 100,000,000 shares.

The Fund’s tourism investment at the Radisson Blu Resort Denarau Auxiliary Business Area continues to generate positive returns.

The diversified Australian investments continued to provide adequate returns despite the volatility in the stock market.

The Fund appointed Mercer of Australia to review for the first time its overall investment portfolio in the new financial year.
The review will provide an independent assessment on the effective stewardship of the Fund’s investment.

Overall, the Fund’s investment portfolio continues to generate positive returns in funding the mandated objectives for the Fund.

The Fund has progressed its intention to develop a Culture & Arts and Commercial Centre, and an Expression of Interest has been published towards this project.
All relevant processes encompassing due diligence, design concepts, feasibility and market studies leading up to the full proposal of the Project will be carried out in the next financial year.

In July, a sum of $3.4million was awarded to Raghwan and Neo, following the Arbitrator’s ruling on the Phase 1 complex dispute.

However, the settlement concluded this long-standing dispute.

The Phase II development of the Draiba complex is still being deliberated upon, and the key consideration is its ability to generate positive return on investments.
The Valenibose was catastrophically destroyed in a fire in December.

However, the property was insured and TTFB is awaiting the insurance claim process, which will continue into the new year.

The Fund renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of the South Pacific’s Faculty of Arts, Law and Education until 2021.

This will ensure the Fijian Language Studies programme continues for the Diploma in Fijian Studies at the university.
Thirty-three Nadroga/Navosa traditional leaders graduated with Certificate III Traditional Leadership and Good Governance from the Centre for Appropriate Technology and Development (CATD) at Nadave.

The program is fully accredited by the Fiji Higher Education Commission, and since 2018 more than ninety successors of traditional title holders from four provinces (Rewa, Tailevu, Ba, Nadroga/Navosa) have graduated.
A similar leadership training program is envisioned for Rotuma, hence the training needs analysis carried out by the Fund for the seven District Chiefs in collaboration with the President’s and Commissioner Eastern’s offices.

During the year, the Fund broadened partnerships with key stakeholders - CATD, the Retired Fijian Teachers Association, Fiji Arts Council and the Ministry of Education, Heritage & Arts, through MOUs.
These reinforce collaborative engagements on pertinent areas of the various institutions for the advancement of iTaukei and Rotuman communities.

North Wing Building, Draiba Complex 8 The Fund continues to be committed to advancing the literacy of the iTaukei language.
Bilingual information texts were developed through TTFB’s Information Text Awareness Project.

This year, the Fund reprinted almost 7,000 copies of resources and books for distribution to schools by the Ministry of Education.

In January, the incoming Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs, Mr Meleti Bainimarama, was appointed to the Board, following the resignation of the previous Permanent Secretary, Mr Naipote Katonitabua.

To date, the Board has maintained a 28% membership held by women.
On 31st December 2018, following the retirement of Mr. Isoa Kaloumaira, the Fund’s outgoing Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Aisake Taito, a sitting Board member was on 1st January 2019 appointed to Acting CEO.

He was later confirmed to the position on 11th December 2019 through an open recruitment process managed by Maxumise (Fiji) Ltd.

It has been another rewarding and successful year for the Fund in terms of the fulfillment of its legislated objectives.
The investment portfolio remains healthy and generating the needed revenue to support the Fund’s operations.

I am confident, with the support of my fellow Directors, and Management & Staff of the Fund, that we will continue to find ways to have even a greater positive impact on the lives of those we serve – the iTaukei and Rotumans.

David Kolitagane David Kolitagane 9 OPERATIONAL REPORT NA ITUKUTUKU NI VEIQARAVI INVESTMENT The Fund’s Strategic Plan 2019 - 2023 sets out five priority areas, the first of which was Prudent, Financial Sustainability.
At the beginning of the year, the Fund through optimal treasury function decided to review its cash management processes, which led to the following actions: 1) A re-negotiation of term deposits with various financial institutions in favour of higher interest rates; and VAKATUBUILAVO Na ituvatuva ni veivakatorocaketaki ni Matabose 2019 – 2023 e dusimaka e lima na yavu ni veiqaravi, ka dua vei ira na maroroi vakamatua ni veika vakailavo.

As a result, the Fund is now able to settle its loan obligations.

All securities tied to the loan totaling $80million were released back to the Fund.
All new term deposits were invested for periods of twelve (12) months allowing the Fund to manage its cash accumulated over that period to meet its equity contribution for major capital developments in the future.

Auxiliary Business Area, Radisson Resort 10 During the year, the Funds’ investments in R. B. Patel Company Limited were split in a ratio of 1:5, which resulted in an increase in the number of shareholdings in R B Patel Company to 20,000,000 shares (2018: 4,000,000 shares).
Also, Fijian Holdings Limited’s shares were split into a ratio of 1:10, increasing the shareholding to 100,000,000 shares (2018: 10,000,000 shares).

The Fund continues to grow its investments.

Income generated from unit trusts was reinvested.

The Board continues to deliberate and weigh its options on the development of Phase II of the complex at Draiba, with the focus on meeting its return on investment (ROI) benchmark.
In line with the Fund’s mandated objectives under the iTaukei Trust Fund Act 2004, an Expression of Interest was called during the year for interested parties to establish a Joint Venture with the Fund in developing a Culture & Arts and Commercial Centre.
The purpose of the project is to: 1) Develop an authentic Culture and Arts Centre that will promote the ITaukei and Rotuman culture and heritage in all art forms, delivering commercial, social and educational benefits to its stakeholders; Na vakatubuilavo ni Matabose ki na RB Patel a mai vidai vaka 1:5 na sea, vakatubura kina na levu ni sea ki na 20,000,000 (2018:4,000,000).

5) Deliver an acceptable level of investment return on the project.

All due process encompassing due diligence, design concepts, feasibility and market studies leading up to the full proposal of the Project will be carried out in the next financial year.

For the Hotel Project at corner of Stewart and Fort Streets, the Methodist Church Holding Trust (MCHT) decided to opt out of the Joint Venture with the developer - Carlson Group of Hotels, who have also agreed to hold matters in abeyance.
The Fund has decided not to pursue this project due to a lapse in agreement with the developer on 31st December.

The existing car park within the property continues to operate as normal and is an additional revenue stream to the Fund.

The Fund’s investment at the Radisson Blu Resort Denarau Auxiliary Business Area continued to generate positive returns.

Room upgrades were completed in the first quarter of the year.
The Independent Expert, Mr. Richard Maiden who was hired to assess the claims and counter claims in the Arbitration case pertaining to the Raghwan Neo Joint Venture has concluded his assessment.

He found Raghwan Neo did contribute to the delay in construction but the Fund was let down by its Project Manager who failed to issue the required notification of delays as stipulated in the contract.

This negated the Fund’s ability to claim for liquidated damages.
Parties reviewed the Independent Expert’s final draft report for their respective final submissions to him.

The Fund accepted our Lawyer’s legal opinion (Howards) and that of our Quantity Surveyor (Rawlinson) to accept the Final Report of the Independent Expert, Mr. Richard Maiden and for the dispute to proceed to Arbitration.

Ena veivakasalataki ni Daunilawa o Howards, kei Rawlinson na Quantity Surveyor, 11 During the year, final submission to the Independent Expert’s final report was submitted from both parties to the Arbitrator.

The Arbitrator made his final ruling on 12th July with award of $3.4million in favor of Raghwan Neo Joint Venture but interest claim from Raghwan was reduced and both parties share legal costs.
Following the ruling, the principal contract sum of $2.1million was settled on 2nd August while the balance of $1.3million being interest claimed and share of legal costs was settled on 23rd August.

The settlement made has brought this long outstanding dispute to a closure after 8 years.
The Board decided not to appeal the Arbitrator’s ruling on the advice of the Fund’s Legal Counsel based on these grounds: 1) Unless the Arbitrator erred or misconducted in his ruling; and 2) No concrete ground for the Fund to appeal and if done so will incur more costs On 11th December 2019, an investment property (Valenibose) held by the Fund was destroyed in an unfortunate burning incident.
The property’s written down value was $3,133,752 and did not have material effect on the total asset position of the Fund.

The property was adequately insured.

Insurance claim process commenced at year end and continued into the next financial year.

Plans to redevelop the Valenibose and create economic activities that will complement the re-development will be pursued in 2020.
For our off-shore investments in Australia, a number of factors have been and continue to be at play, impacting stock markets globally, and significantly in the Australian market during the year.

Despite the volatility in the stock market, the diversified Australian investments continued to provide adequate returns as there were no direct impact on the investments.
The Australian Investments asset allocation remains to be Australian equities, global equities, Australian fixed interest, global fixed interest and cash.

The Board decided for the first time to carry out an investment review on the whole investment portfolio.

The review will be carried out by Mercer Australia after the tendering process.

Any buy or sell of the stock was put on hold until the review was completed.
The review will: a) Re-assure the Fund that the investment policies and portfolio are sufficient to give maximum returns necessary to fulfil its mandated objectives; b) Protect the Governance & stewardship role of the Trustees as the findings will provide to the Fund with a clear road map in the long term for effective stewardship of the investment portfolio; c) Ensure the Fund will employ financial resources to areas that will yield optimal return and at the same time provide financial stability, growth and sustainability in the long term.
Overall, the investment portfolio increased from $200.5million in 2018, to $316.7million in 2019.

The income generated from investments continues to generate the needed revenue to support the Fund’s operations and mandated objectives.

This improvement is anticipated to enhance the delivery of CATD programs, including the Traditional Leadership & Good Governance program.

Most of the MTA and TTFB training programs are offered through CATD in Nadave.
Hence, this MOA will strengthen partnerships toward meeting TTFB’s mandated objective of developing management, leadership and entrepreneurial skills of the indigenous Fijians and Rotumans.

Traditional Leadership Training Needs Analysis, Rotuma District Chiefs The TTFB aims to extend the traditional leadership and good governance program to the island of Rotuma.

responsibility as key Active Citizens, TTFB – British Council Partnership The TTFB has been the implementing partner of the British Council’s Active Citizens Project since 2018.
Active Citizens is a social leadership programme that promotes intercultural dialogue and social leadership competencies in the 21st century.

In 2019, TTFB implemented a training of facilitators, 2 community engagements and 3 social action projects in collaboration with delivery partners such as Lifeline Fiji, Habitat for Humanity and Nasautoka village through the Tailevu Provincial office.
As co-facilitators of the AC project, delivery partners implemented cascading workshops using the AC tool kit in their respective communities.

The AC tool kit has effectively been incorporated into other TTFB projects such as Vanua Fieldwork and Sauvaki ni Vanua that support social empowerment and cohesion, thus contributing to the development of management and leadership skills of the iTaukei and Rotumans.
Craft Development Workshops, TTFB – Fiji Arts Council Partnership We are pleased to report that TTFB and Fiji Arts Council signed an MOU in April 2019 to collaborate in enhancing the promotion and preservation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage of iTaukei and Rotuman communities.
With respect of the MOU, TTFB provided funding to the Fiji Arts Council to facilitate the implementation of 2 community-based upskilling workshops on craft development for the women of Nadakuni in Naitasiri, and Sawakasa in Tailevu.

It is anticipated that these workshops will provide opportunities for craftspeople to become licensed practitioners and small-business entrepreneurs, and also participate at national events such as festivals and women’s expo.
Generally, these opportunities will generate income to sustain the livelihood of craftspeople and their communities.

Na vuli oqo e 16 Information Text Awareness Project, TTFB – International Development in Oceania Committee (IDOC) The TTFB recognises the critical role literacy plays in Fijian language learning from early childhood.
In collaboration with Curriculum Advisory Services under the Ministry of Education, Heritage & Arts, TTFB supported an ITAP literacy workshop for interested primary and secondary school teachers in Savusavu.

This initiative aims to develop quality bilingual information texts for early childhood, and our objective is to contribute towards the provision of supplementary resources for schools teaching the Fijian vernacular.
The workshop was co-funded by the International Literacy Association through the International Development in Oceania Committee (IDOC).

Publishing Arm of TTFB The TTFB aims to promote and safeguard the Fijian language and culture by supporting the development of educational resources in collaboration with local writers and relevant stakeholders.

In April 2019, TTFB reprinted a total of 6,917 copies of educational resources for the MEHA.
These were supplementary texts provided to support the teaching and learning of the Fijian language in primary schools.

The publishing arm of TTFB ensures that quality resources appropriate for the target audience are produced based on the assessment and approval of the MEHA and MTA.

Primary and secondary school students are the main target audience and readership for most of TTFB’s publications.
Vanua Fieldworkers Program, Province of Rewa The documentation and preservation of distinct cultural practices, skills and indigenous knowledge are the intended outcomes for the Vanua Fieldworkers Program.

Between August and December 2019, TTFB completed documentation processes on significant cultural elements of 4 Tikina in the province of Rewa, namely Toga, Suva, Burebasaga and Noco.
Primary and secondary information have been collated for curatorial and educational purposes, including the installation of displays and cultural exhibitions.

This program is co- facilitated by a group of interested fieldworkers from Rewa.

INTERSECT, British Council Diversity Arts Exchange Program INTERSECT entails a knowledge exchange and peer monitoring program for culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
Leveraging TTFB’s partnership with the British Council on the Active Citizens project, we were invited to participate in this program through BC Australia.

A TTFB staff was selected to participate in symposiums and engagements with other INTERSECT participants from Australia and UK for capacity building and knowledge sharing.

It was a one-off engagement that started in November 2018 and ended in February 2019.
In exchange of TTFB’s participation, a UK artist came to Fiji and delivered workshops on drama and theatre production.

Solesau Educational Resource Kit Project The TTFB supports the development of educational resource materials and use of technology for diverse stakeholder groups including the diaspora communities.
The educational resource kit project was launched in November 2019 to consolidate teaching pedagogies and learning resources on the education of Fijian language and culture.

This was made possible through collaborations with specialists and experts from the Curriculum Advisory Services, iTaukei Institute of Language and Culture, Retired Fijian Teachers Association, Fiji Arts Council, the Fiji Museum, and a renowned artist/practitioner.
An educational resource kit framework was devised over a one-week workshop with these stakeholders to commence the development process.

Contents of the Edu Kit will be transformed electronically to provide interactive and engaging activities through an e-learning management system.

Nawaidamudamu Ring Ditch Fortification Project The TTFB also contributes towards the conservation of natural and cultural heritage to achieve sustainable tourism development.
The ring ditch fortification project involving the historical and cultural survey of Nawaidamudamu, located in the Laucala Beach area was finally completed in April 2019.

Research consultant and renowned historian, Mr. Fergus Clunie submitted a detailed overview of the history and progressive development of Fijian fortifications overtime, and what the built defensive works of the Nawaidamudamu site was most probably like, in what historical and cultural evidence indicates was the early through mid-1840s.
The main purpose of this research was to provide a bank of soundly-based information on fortification techniques that were commonly used at that time for a range of potential development prospects.

Development partners in this project were interested in the opportunity of reconstructing the site as an ecotourism development, including historically and culturally authentic interpretive options.

fund to help develop the management, Result s The Fund recorded a net profit of $1,323,316 (2018: $3,984,876).

Reserves There were no transfers to or from reserves during the year except for those required by the International Financial Reporting Standards.
Non-current asset s Prior to the completion of the financial statements of the Fund, the Members took reasonable steps to ascertain whether any non- current assets are unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business as compared to their values as shown in the accounting records of the Fund.

Where necessary these assets have been written down or adequate provision has been made to bring the values of such assets to an amount that they might be expected to realise.
As at the date of this report, the Members are not aware of any circumstances which would render the values attributed to non- current assets in the Fund's financial statements misleading.
20 2 iTAUKEI TRUST FUND BOARD MEMBERS’ REPORT continued iTAUKEI TRUST FUND BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 MEMBERS' REPORT cont inued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 Basis of account ing The Members believe the basis of the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate and the Fund will be able to continue in operation for at least twelve months from the date of this report.
Accordingly the Members believe the classification and carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as stated in these financial statements to be appropriate.

Significant Event On 11 December 2019, an investment property (Vale ni Bose) held by the Fund was destroyed in a fire.

The property's written down value was $3,133,752.

The property is covered under insurance.


Unusual t ransact ions In the opinion of the Members, the results of the operations of the Fund during the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Fund in the current financial year, other than those reflected in the financial statements.
Event s subsequent t o balance dat e Subsequent to end of the financial year, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation in March 2020.

We have not seen a significant impact on our business to date.

The outbreak and the response of Governments in dealing with the pandemic is interfering with general activity levels within the community, the economy and the operations of our business.
The scale and duration of these developments remain uncertain as at the date of this report however they will have an impact on our earnings, cash flow and financial condition.

is not possible to estimate the impact of the outbreak’s near-term and longer effects or Governments’ varying efforts to It combat the outbreak and support businesses.
This being the case, we do not consider it practicable to provide a quantitative or qualitative estimate of the potential impact of this outbreak on the Fund at this time.

The financial statements have been prepared based upon conditions existing at 31 December 2019 and considering those events occurring subsequent to that date, that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period.
As the outbreak of COVID-19 occurred after 31 December 2019, its impact is considered an event that is indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period and accordingly, no adjustments have been made to financial statements as at 31 December 2019 for the impacts of COVID-19.
Other than the matter above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report, any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Members of the Fund, to affect significantly the operations of the Fund in the subsequent financial year.
those operations, or the state of affairs of the Fund, the results of 3 21 iTAUKEI TRUST FUND BOARD MEMBERS’ REPORT continued iTAUKEI TRUST FUND BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 MEMBERS' REPORT cont inued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 Ot her circumst ances As at the date of this report: (i) no charge on the assets of the Fund has been given since the end of the financial year to secure the liabilities of any other person; (ii) no contingent liabilities have arisen since the end of the financial year for which the Fund could become liable; and (iii) no contingent liabilities or other liabilities of the Fund has become or is likely to become enforceable within the year after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Members, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Fund to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.
As at the date of this report, the Members are not aware of any circumstances that have arisen, not otherwise dealt with in this report or the Fund's financial statements, which would make adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Fund misleading or inappropriate.

Audit or Independence The Members have obtained an independence declaration from the Fund's auditor, Ernst & Young.
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration is set out in the Auditor’s Independence Declaration to the Members of iTaukei Trust Fund Board on page 6.

2020. iTaukei Trust Fund Board was established and domiciled in the Republic of Fiji in accordance with the iTaukei Trust Fund Act.

The principal activity of the Fund is described in Note 25.

1.2 Basis of preparation of the Financial Statements The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for some assets which are measured at fair value.

The financial statements are presented in Fiji dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except when otherwise indicated.
Statement of compliance The financial statements ofiTaukei Trust Fund Board have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

1.3 Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Fund's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date.
However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
Estimations and assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation and uncertainty at the balance date, that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is discussed below: Impairment of non-financial assets The Fund assesses whether there are any indicators ofimpairment for all non-financial assets at each reporting date.
Non- financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

1.4 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures IFRS 16 Leases The Fund applied IFRS 16 Leases for the first time.

The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption of this new accounting standard is described below.

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019, but do not have an impact on the financial statements of the Fund.
The Fund has not early adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.
32 14 iTAUKEI TRUST FUND BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued iTAUKEI TRUST FUND BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont inued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 1.4 Changes in account ing policy and disclosures cont inued IFRS 16 Leases cont inued IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases , IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease , SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease .
The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognise most leases on the balance sheet.

Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from IAS 17.

Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in IAS 17.

Therefore, IFRS 16 does not have an impact for leases where the Fund is the lessor.
The Fund adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 January 2019.

Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application.

The Fund elected to use the transition practical expedient to not reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at 1 January 2019.
Instead, the Fund applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 at the date of initial application.

The effect of adoption IFRS 16 as at 1 January 2019 (increase) is, as follows: Asset s Right-of-use assets Tot al asset s Liabilit ies Lease liabilities Tot al liabilit ies Tot al adjust ment on equit y Retained earnings $ 310,664 310,664 310,664 310,664 - - The Fund has lease contracts for land.
Before the adoption of IFRS 16, the Fund classified each of its leases (as lessee) at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease.

Refer to Note 1.6 (j) Leased assets for the accounting policy prior to 1 January 2019.

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Fund applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases except for short- term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The standard provides specific transition requirements and practical expedients, which have been applied by the Fund.
15 33 iTAUKEI TRUST FUND BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued iTAUKEI TRUST FUND BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont inued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 1.4 Changes in account ing policy and disclosures cont inued IFRS 16 Leases cont inued • Leases previously classified as finance leases The Fund did not change the initial carrying amounts of recognised assets and liabilities at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as finance leases (i.e.
the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities equal the lease assets and liabilities recognised under IAS 17).

The requirements of IFRS 16 were applied to these leases from 1 January 2019.

• Leases previously account ed for as operat ing leases The Fund recognised right-of-use assets (ROU assets) and lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The right-of-use assets for most leases were recognised based on the carrying amount as if the standard had always been applied, apart from the use of an incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

In some leases, the right-of-use assets were recognised based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised.
Lease liabilities were recognised based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
The Fund also applied the available practical expedients wherein it: - - - - - Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application; Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months of the date of initial application; Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application; and Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease.
Based on the above, as at 1 January 2019: - - - Right-of-use assets of $310,664 were recognised and presented separately in the statement of financial position.

Additional lease liabilities of $310,664 were recognised.

The net effect of these adjustments had been adjusted to retained earnings ($Nil).

The Fund intends to adopt these amendments when they become effective.

The amendments will not have any material impact on the Fund.

1.6 Summary of significant account ing policies a) Foreign currencies The financial statements are presented in Fiji dollars, which is the Fund's functional and presentation currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance date.

All differences are taken to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

the functional currency rate ruling at the date of Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.

b) Invest ment propert ies Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.

The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria is met; and excludes the cost of day to day servicing of an investment property.
Subsequent to initial measurement, investment less accumulated depreciation.

The investment properties are depreciated at 1.25% while property is stated at cost leasehold land is amortised over the lease period.

Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year of retirement or disposal.

c) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment when that cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria is met.
Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria is satisfied.

All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the useful life of the asset as follows: Office equipment Furniture and fittings Motor vehicles Generator 12% to 40% 12% to 15% 20% 12% An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss and other disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised.

The asset's residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
d) Int angible asset s Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
The useful lives of intangible assets for the Fund are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year end.
Changes in the expected useful life or expected pattern of consumption in future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Gain or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.

If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Fund estimates the asset's recoverable amount.

An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate value model is used.

the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For assets, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased.

If such indication exists, the Fund makes an estimate of the recoverable amount.

A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount.

The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
f) Financial inst rument s - init ial recognit ion and subsequent measurement A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

i) Financial asset s Init ial recognit ion and measurement Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), or fair value through profit or loss.
financial assets at The classification of initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Fund’s business model for managing them.

With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Fund has applied the practical expedient, the Fund initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Fund has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15.

Refer to the accounting policies in section (m) Revenue from contracts with customers.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding.
This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement For purposes of subsequent measurement, the Fund's financial assets are classified in two categories: • Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments); and • Financial assets designated at derecognition (equity instruments) fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon Financial asset s at amort ised cost (debt inst rument s) The Fund measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: • The financial asset contractual cash flows; and is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

The Fund’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables, and other non-current financial assets.

Financial asset s designat ed at fair value t hrough OCI (equit y inst rument s) This category is most relevant to the Fund.
Upon initial recognition, the Fund can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading.

The classification is determined on an instrument-by instrument basis.

Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss.
Dividends are recognised as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Fund benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI.

Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.

The Fund elected to classify its listed equity investments and other quoted instruments under this category.

The Fund’s financial derivative financial instruments.
liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and Subsequent measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below: Loans and borrowings After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

For more information, refer to Note 13.


Derecognit ion A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

iii) Offset t ing of financial inst rument s Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
g) Cash and cash equivalent s Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

h) Employment benefit liabilit y Provisions are made for wages and salaries, incentive payments and annual leave estimated to be payable to employees at balance date on the basis of statutory and contractual requirements.
i) Taxes The income of iTaukei Trust Fund Board is exempt from income tax under the Fiji Income Tax Act.

That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Fund as a lessee The Fund applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.

The Fund recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
i) Right-of-use assets The Fund recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e.

the date the underlying asset is available for use).

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: - Land and buildings 60 to 85 years If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Fund at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
Refer to the accounting policies in section (e) Impairment of non- financial assets.

ii) Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Fund recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term.

The lease payments include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Fund and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Fund exercising the option to terminate.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
lease payments, In calculating the present value of the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g.
changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

the Fund uses its incremental borrowing rate at The Fund’s lease liabilities are presented in leases (see Note 22).
