SWD CRICKET NPC REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: 2016/17 By F.S. LAMINIE (CHAIRPERSON: FINANCE AND COMMERCIAL SUB- COMMITTEE,) In the presentation of the audited financial statements for the 2016/17 financial year, as ended on 30 April 2017, it is important to explain and highlight to all stakeholders the following: The Board of Directors of SWD Cricket NPC is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the Annual Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SME s) that fairly presents the state of affairs of the company, and other information contained in this report. The Finance and Commercial Sub-Committee, reporting to the Board of Directors on a regular basis, plays an important oversight role in all matters relating to financial administration and internal financial control, the application of prudent and appropriate accounting policies and reporting requirements. The 2016/2017 financial year was very successful when compared to the previous year. The company recorded a surplus of R 329,395 compared to R 81,917 in the prior year. An increase of 300%. This surplus can be attributed to a number of significant cricket events hosted, as well as special awards from Cricket South Africa (CSA). Firstly, the CSA Operational Scorecard Incentive award of R 1,466,800 was a big boost to our cash flow and it also enabled us to incentivize all role players for their hard work and contribution towards the 2 nd place achieved on the 2015/2016 scorecard. CSA again awarded all affiliates with R1 mil once-off funding. High profile cricket events like the CSA Africa T-20 Cup, the Franchise Academies Tournament and the CSA U/19 International ODI series against Sri Lanka U/19, presented an opportunity to record substantial surpluses. The CEO together with the local organizing committees for these events must be commended for the management of the costs which enabled the company to maximize surplus without compromising on the quality. The continued support of our sponsors and media partners enabled us to attract additional funding and save on media related expenditure as well as additional capital expenditure. We recorded total sponsorship income for the year off R 556,991 which is R 172,640 more than the previous year. This includes Canon s R 120,000 as team sponsor for our Africa T-20 Cup campaign. Our effective implementation and monitoring of policies and systems (on governance- as well as management level) ensured that reporting requirements for the 13 th and 14 th payments from CSA was always met, which ensured prompt receipt of funding. CSA also awarded affiliates with stadium equipment during the past financial year. SWD Cricket NPC benefited to the value of R 1,350,000 in stadium equipment. These additional funds enabled the Board to expand our expenditure on operational and amateur cricket programs. More than R 3mil was also spend on capital projects. The company supplied new pitch covers to a number of clubs, made vital upgrades to club practicing facilities for the Hub and RPC programs.
Unfortunately the new extended lease agreement with the Oudtshoorn Municipality was not concluded by the end of the 2017 financial year; despite continues engagement with municipality officials by both the CEO, Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Lead- Independent Director. This continues to negatively affect the financial statements. Thankfully we have recently received the draft lease agreement that will be in place for 9 years and 11 months and it should be signed shortly. I am pleased to report, again, that the financial statements have received an unqualified audit report for the 2016/2017 financial year. I would like to thank and congratulate all the role players that contributed in achieving this pleasing outcome; especially the staff directly involved in the finance department. Thank you for all your efforts.
