A special hospital for Africa’s sickest children

A centre oF excellenceA year ends, a new one begins. A child falls ill, a child is cured. A new intern enters the wards as others leave, enriched. A nurse begins her training in the care of children; others leave trained and enabled. the cycle goes on; the cycle of healing, of training, of outreach, of excellence. this is the place the children’s Hospital trust must serve. the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital is far more than a hospital, it is a world-renowned bastion of excellence in the service of sick children.

the children’s Hospital trust is fortunate to have as our beneficiary this impressive hospital. As a place of healing, as the only hospital in southern Africa tasked with providing tertiary health care to children alone, the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital is an institution we can all be proud of; an institution that has made so many families feel that it is a place they can call their own. that’s because the staff who work at the Hospital have touched, in different ways, so many thousands of people. they have healed sick children, comforted their families, equipped others with basic skills in child health and taught other health professionals valuable specialist skills.

in whatever way the Hospital has touched the hearts and the minds of so many South Africans, it has also spread its influence across our borders through critical training, research and outreach. the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital is a unique and respected hospital with a rich tradition. it is governed by dedicated people and committed staff who resolve to provide unqualified distinction in their responsibilities.

cHildren FirStA specialist children’s hospital, like the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital, is able to consolidate all paediatric specialists and sub-specialist auxiliary services under one roof. ‘children first’ is the common language spoken throughout the Hospital.

every seriously ill child needs multiple specialist and sub-specialist inputs to determine the best treatment programmes. A dedicated children’s hospital draws heavily on a ‘full team’ approach to treating its patients and the net result is positive health outcomes for even the sickest of sick children. children are not just small adults and treating them is a very specialised

task. For example, the management of sick children requires purpose-designed facilities, not just at ward level, but throughout the Hospital and especially in areas like operating theatres. this is not only because the child patient is physically smaller – anything down to just 1000 grams in size – but because medical interventions in children are in so many ways more difficult, more intricate and more complex than they are in adults. in this light the commissioning of the new operating theatre complex funded by the trust through its generous donors has made a remarkable difference for the surgical teams who will operate on thousands of small patients in the new complex.

Sickness in children is always emotive, not only for the child itself, who can’t understand illness, but for parents and families. keeping children in gentle, friendly and brightly decorated surroundings reduces the emotional trauma of their stay in hospital. Wherever a child goes in the Hospital, no matter what department, the environment is less clinical, more child-friendly, than can ever be achieved in a general hospital in South Africa. the Hospital understands the importance of providing facilities for families and over-night accommodation for parents and that the close proximity of a parent speeds a child’s progress to recovery.

tHe HoSpitAl’S pAtientS A legacy to South African soldiers who saw duty in the Second World War, the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital was established in 1956 to treat children from cape town and the former cape province. But the reputation of the Hospital soon spread and children from the rest of South Africa, later from many parts of southern Africa, and even from countries as distant as romania, became patients. Many of the services the Hospital provides are often the only services of their kind available in southern Africa, in some cases the only services of their kind available on the continent. in determining the most rational distribution of highly specialised health services for children over the entire country, the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital was earmarked as the only public sector hospital to undertake certain unique and highly complex procedures such as liver transplantation. the Hospital is the provincial centre for paediatric cardiac surgery.

the majority of the Hospital’s young patients are from the Western cape, with cases from the rest of South Africa, Africa and rare instances, the rest of the world.

the vast majority are from poor and marginalised communities and a third of the children are under a year old. the treatment the Hospital gives its patients, their parents and families, is equivalent to what the rest of the world can offer. the staff of this hospital aim to provide the very best health care affordable, with compassion and with understanding of what it means to have a desperately sick child. this is often a mother and child who are miles from their home. Both will get care and support at this extraordinary hospital.

tHe iMpAct oF reSeArcH, trAininG & outreAcHAs the only stand alone, specialist hospital in southern Africa dedicated entirely to children, the role of the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital on the continent is extremely important. not only for children with complex illnesses, but for the advancement of children’s health and research into the diseases of childhood within an African context. it equates to being able to teach and treat and to carry out research under a single roof just on children’s health. in association with the university of cape town’s Health Sciences Faculty, the Hospital is a major centre of learning, with the School of child and Adolescent Health (ScAH) on campus. the Hospital will continue to contribute significantly towards the improvement of children’s health in developing countries around the world. the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital has an added responsibility to cross the divide between people who have knowledge and people who seek it; between places where health care is available and places where it needs to be developed. the Hospital plays an active role in outreach; a process whereby primary and secondary health care facilities are being assisted through upskilling in paediatric care. the benefit to children is profound as they can be treated nearer to home and the expense of travelling is negated.

Successful outreach programmes result in fewer patients being referred to the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital freeing it up to focus on more complex and specialist cases. the referral of less complex cases from other facilities has also enabled the Hospital to focus on essential training and research that impacts paediatric care across Africa and even globally.


04 the children’s Hospital trust

The Children’s Hospital Trust

SerVinG A GreAt HoSpitAlthe children’s Hospital trust has a clear mandate – to serve the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital as the Hospital determines its needs to be. Since its inception in 1994 it has been governed by its Board of trustees; people chosen for their skills in business, or their expertise in children’s health, for their sense of community responsibility, people who give their services willingly and for no recompense. their reward comes from seeing the trust strengthen, from seeing the various projects the trust undertakes come to fruition, from seeing the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital grow and improve and from seeing benefits to children’s health as a result.

the trust supports the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital because no government can meet every need. As the Fundraising Arm of the Hospital, the trust has proudly assisted for fourteen years to upgrade the Hospital’s buildings and equipment. Government funds the running costs, funds the vast majority of staff and the maintenance of the Hospital, but still the requirements for equipment and for modernised accommodation are beyond the scope of a Health department that has to fund numerous other hospitals and clinics. As a public tertiary and secondary level hospital, the department of Health of the provincial Government of the Western cape (pGWc) committed an operational budget of r359 million for the 2008/2009 financial year.

A Model oF excellence the trust has grown and become a highly respected charitable organisation, in part because of the dedication of its staff and the input of its trustees and patrons. in the main, the strength of the trust has come from the benevolence of its countless donors; donors ranging from corporate giants, to small businesses, to benevolent groups, to individuals within the community. All are important to the trust, no matter what their contribution may have been or still is, because collectively our donors are the lifeblood of the trust. in return for their generosity, the trust is able to say to each and every one of them that they have spent their money wisely, that the trust has been a tenacious guardian of their intentions and their funds, that it has done this not only in the interests of the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital but also in the best interests of its donors. Since 1994, the trust has raised over r350 million in funds to address many pressing needs.

the trust not only values its donors, it respects their wishes on how their money is used, no matter how pre-scribed these conditions may be. the trust is uncompromising on this principle. this has been a wonderful year of generosity and the trust thanks all its donors for their support. importantly, and beyond this appreciation, the trust invites donors to see first hand the work that has been done, the progress that has been made and the way in which their funds have contributed to the well-being and advancement of this magnificent institution.

A visit to the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital is a wonderful, enriching experience, an experience that reaffirms our responsibility as adult members of the community, or as business leaders, to provide a better life for all our sick children and unfailing support for their parents and families. nelson Mandela said, ‘You can judge the development of a society by the way it treats its sick children.’

the trust also understands that its future success will rest, as before, entirely on the generosity of its donors.

The year in review

tHe cHAirMAn’S report

it is supposedly an old chinese curse that says “May you live in interesting times”!

certainly the children’s Hospital trust has endured interesting times in the year under review, but far from being cursed, the trust has risen to the challenges, and has thrived as a result.

the greatest single challenge during the year was the completion of the first phase of the operating theatre complex, as well as the funding, and management of the purchase of full sets of instrument packs for eight operating theatres, capital equipment for four of the eight theatres and various items of specialised equipment. this task was thrust upon us at short notice, and at a late stage, and presented a difficult and complex exercise for the chief executive and staff of the trust.

it is a measure of their skill and dedication that this project, like all the projects undertaken by the trust, was carried out with great competence, and was completed within the time available and to the full extent required. the outcome of the project as a whole is a theatre complex, unique to Africa, and equal to anything the world has to offer. the generosity of donors, and the partnership between the provincial Government of the Western cape, the Medical profession and the trust, has provided the children of southern Africa with the best possible medical facility.

the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital is a state institution, and as such is not immune to the problems besetting the State Health Service, but thanks to the generosity of so many people, corporations and trusts, and of the partnerships i have referred to, many of these problems have been ameliorated, and the Hospital maintains its reputation as a centre of excellence.

the trust’s governance is of a very high standard, and the Board of trustees constantly ensures that the standard is maintained and enhanced in line with internationally accepted standards. procedures are in place, and are constantly updated to ensure compliance with trustees fiduciary duties, the requirements of the king ii report, and the maintenance of the independence of the trust.

the trust’s investments have been affected by the global economic crisis, but careful management has minimised the impact, and the situation is closely monitored.

the trust has grown into a larger organisation, and the skills and generosity of many people are responsible for that. our thanks are due to trustees and patrons, members of various sub-committees, and volunteers, all of whom provide their skills and time without any thought of remuneration. our special thanks and gratitude go to the chief executive of the trust, nicky Bishop, and to her staff. their dedication to the trust and to the Hospital, their skills and their competence have raised the trust to the level it has attained.

the future may be uncertain, and it will come with its own challenges, but the quality of everyone involved in the trust’s affairs will ensure that the trust will successfully navigate the uncertainties, and overcome the problems.

CB Nilandchairman


the 2008 year at the children’s Hospital trust was one of implementation, delivery and stewardship, with more projects than ever before being undertaken by the trust in support of the Hospital in working towards the five year strategy.

Areas of focus for the trust – its core business if you like – are fundraising and project management of the disbursement of funds raised. With that come the fundamentals that enable the trust to do that business, ensuring accountability to donors through the successful implementation of plans and programmes.

2008 has enabled some dreams to come true, which the year in review refers to. the trust became a r60 million income organisation in 2008 (including interest) – its best ever year. We could not attempt what we do without our donors’ commitments

which take many forms; funding, Gifts-in-kind, time and expertise spent on our events, our buildings and overseeing the organisation. the number of people supporting the trust and this Hospital has become the greatest ever – thank you to every single one of you!

You have also helped us to address our challenges in 2008 successfully.

the trust had the busiest year in its 14-year history. in addition to the immense task of managing the implementation of building the operating theatre complex, the trust also managed six other major projects or programmes, which are described in the next few pages.

three consultants were brought on board to work with Hospital staff on the theatre project to decide on equipment model specifications, gain estimates, negotiate discounts and take delivery of 11 449 new instruments and instrument containers for surgery and many items of major equipment, nearly all from europe. A joint task force was created between the children’s Hospital trust and Hospital Management to build and equip the new operating theatre complex to a time frame that would effectively not stop surgery for children.

each trust project has a planning, fundraising, awareness building, project management & implementation, monitoring and evaluation and donor stewardship strategy. each has a set of stakeholders and partners to whom the trust is rightly accountable. to do this, in a more complex and larger organisation, financial management has been ever more key, and has been upgraded and upscaled significantly, as has monitoring and evaluation, communication and project management skills.

As always, the outcomes for children being improved and remaining at the top of the league of care on a global scale is what drives everyone. it is a tribute to all involved – donors of course, trust staff, our consultants in the building of these projects, staff across the Hospital and in the School of child and Adolescent Health and volunteers, including our trustees and patrons, that so much has been achieved. We have also had great support from our new uk charity arm, the children’s Hospital trust South Africa, resulting in a very healthy £30 000 funds to the Hospital in its first year in operation. thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

the global economic downturn has affected many to date. in 2008, the trust was fortunate to have donors’ plans include us both in annual tranches of funding and also in annual plans. We are most grateful for the ongoing support that we receive. it is so valuable, and we keep a sharp eye on the impacts of a changed world on the trust.

Building the operating theatre complex

the biggest project to date within the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital has been the operating theatre complex. With building underway, and multi-year pledges for building secured, the next fundraising focus for the trust was equipping the complex to enable this 21st century facility to be completed and fully equipped, in 2009.

digitalisation of the theatres enables the Hospital to retain its ability to use the facility as a training and teaching platform. the capability to have simultaneous pictures of an operation visible in a lecture theatre to students, with real-time interactive dialogue was a dream that became a reality in 2008. three of the eight theatres have been equipped with digitalised equipment and a fourth set up for it in the future. the digital equipment was purchased from Germany and required a team from lebanon to travel to cape town especially to install it, as nothing had been done to this level in South Africa before. these state-of-the-art digitalised theatres are the most advanced of their kind in Africa. Special thanks to prof Alp numanoglu who has driven the digitalisation process and requirements for the theatres.

phase one of the two-part project was completed on december 15th, on schedule. Six of the theatres were completed, together with a recovery room and many other components of the project. donors and Hospital staff were invited to see the dream becoming a reality in december, just days before sterilisation of the theatres took place in preparation for use.

Specialised theatre equipmentthere was a need to equip all eight theatres with additional requirements, as for the first time each theatre will be designated to a sub-speciality. With Anaesthetics equipment and fine instrument packs at a cost of r16 million for the new theatres also part of the requirements, a final total of r55 million including digitalisation was identified. the price of steel and oil rocketed in 2008 and impacted on the costs significantly. the tremendous support of donors came to the fore and much of the funding was secured by year-end. the provincial Government of the Western cape contributed r8,5 million towards the r9 million cost to build a new central processing department (cpd). the cpd is a critical component of the new operating theatre complex as surgical instruments are decontaminated, washed, pasteurised, sterilised, pre-packed and stored in a sterile area in this facility. procurement of the equipment, in delivering a completed phase one of the two-phase project became the responsibility of the trust.


Mri the Magnetic resonance imaging (Mri) Scanner was integrated into the ct (computerised tomography) scan area within the digital radiology department in the Hospital in March 2008. the equipment was funded by the provincial Government of the Western cape and the trust paid for the preparation of the Mri building as a variation to the theatres project. the upgrade and construction of this area was executed in such a way that the ct system remained operational.

A Modern lecture theatreWith digitalisation linked through to the Hospital lecture theatre, the existing lecture hall was an outmoded space that needed to be upgraded in line with the new theatres. A generous donor, the pola pasvolsky charitable & educational trust, funded the complete upgrade of the facility, which was partially completed in 2008. the new modern lecture theatre will be completed in July 2009 and will form an integral part of the educational progress that the trust is keen to play a role in.

the new Family resource centreAnother dream started to become a reality in 2008. director of the Friends of the children’s Hospital Association, nazrina teladia, has always believed that family centred, holistic care is a critical part of a child’s care and recovery, within the Hospital environment. together with the trust, the project got underway to create a haven for families facing what seems like an insurmountable challenge, a place of understanding, compassion, education, training and hope. trust patron, dr christo Wiese, pledged 50% of the cost to turn the old, unused trauma unit into an integrated facility for the first time at the Hospital. carigest SA donated just over r230 000 towards the project with the remainder of the required funds committed to by trust patron, Amanda Bloch, and linda Givon through their 2009 Art Benefit.

the Family resource centre will enable families and carers to learn more about the condition or necessary home-care of the patient and to be trained in that care. there will also be a place for them to await news, to make a cup of tea or to have a shower if they are there a long time. counselling will also be made available to family members, who are often worried about their child or sibling and can gain much from professional support and each other.


upgradesAgain with a link to surgery, Ward d2 was upgraded in 2008. this was a project completed in partnership with the provincial Government of the Western cape. the trust project managed this upgrade with government and trust funds. it was fully operational by the end of the year, and serves the patients before and after their surgical procedures.

the crèche at the Hospital, which looks after Hospital staff children, was also given a fresh look in 2008, with funds from claremont rotary, and is now a brighter place for these children to enjoy stimulation and care.

training programmestwo five-year training programmes progressed in 2008. the Harry crossley Foundation post Graduate nurses training programme saw 18 nurses graduate in december 2008, with two students being awarded full distinctions for their degrees for the first time on this re-modelled university of cape town training opportunity. the funding has enabled the course to be full time for one year, with specialist staff employed to teach and providing nursing replacements whilst students study for this revitalised qualification. these courses (one for paediatric nursing skills and a second for paediatric icu nursing skills) address the lack of specialist skilled nursing staff in the public sector in South Africa. the number of graduates in 2008 effectively doubled their number in this country in one year.

the African Fellowship programme enables doctors from partner institutions, in other African countries, to come to the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital and study for up to two years, to gain sub-specialty experience and return with it to their country to practice and build skills there. Four specialists completed the programme in 2008, and doctors from kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe and uganda arrived for courses.



Financial review

tHe treASurer’S report

the children’s Hospital trust for the year ended 31 december 2008 surpassed the previous year and has thus once again recorded its most successful year since its inception in 1994. donations received amounted to r49,3m (2007 r41,0m). the kresge Foundation gave r1,252m towards operational costs. interest income received for the year totalled r9,6m (2007 r7,4m). the total income for the year amounted to r60,2m (2007 r76.2m). the prior year figure included the realised gain on the disposal of available-for-sale investments in the amount of r27,2m. once again this is an incredible achievement for the trust bettering previous years and ensuring that it continues to deliver to the children’s Hospital.

the administrative and other operating expenses were kept within budget and amounted to r6,4m (2007 r5,5m). during the year an amount of r44,0m (2007 r19,2m) was expended on building projects on behalf of the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital as the beneficiary of the trust. A further r24,4m was expended on operating threatre equipment (2007 nil). in addition to these outlays during the year a further r5,6m (2007 r0,8m) was expended on programmes, clinics and other outlays on behalf of the children’s Hospital. the major capital projects during the year, including the building project, and the equipment where the total outlayed amounts to r68m, was in respect of the new operating theatres that have now reached the final phase of completion.

A cost to income ratio of 10,7% (2007 11,2%) was achieved during the year. this is a better ratio than has been achieved in the last three years and continues to emphasise the efficiency of the operation of the children’s Hospital trust. cash funds under management are managed on stringent controls that have been implemented throughout the history of the trust. in 2007 the children’s Hospital trust donated the assets under management, arising from prior bequests which were not designated to any specific project in the Hospital nor asked for by the Hospital to the Foundation trust. this Annual report does not include the Annual Financial Statements of the Foundation trust. Financials for the Foundation and the Group Financials are available upon request. the trust continues to operate on the basis that all donations received are applied to the development initiatives and that none of the donated money is used to cover any of the office and administrative expenses. these expenses continue to be funded out of the efficient management of funds earned and from separate investments established for this purpose.

the trust maintains the principles of good corporate governance standards as has been advocated in terms of good corporate governance for South Africa and conducts its business with discipline, transparency, integrity, responsibility and accountability to ensure a justifiable long term future for the trust and that this is in the best interest of all of its stakeholders. the Board of trustees retains the effective control over the trust, assuming the ultimate responsibility and accountability for the proper management of risks and opportunities as well as the performance of the trust. the Board of trustees is chaired by an independent non-executive trustee and has 11 independent trustees all appointed in terms of the trust deed. the trust’s charter is regularly reviewed. An executive committee meets regularly to review the operations of the trust and reports to the Board of trustees.

My thanks go to the chief executive and her team who have made this year the best year in the history of the trust.

independent Auditor’S reportto the trustees of the children’s Hospital trust

We have audited the annual financial statements of the children’s Hospital trust, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 december 2008, the income statement, statement of changes in funds and cash flow statement for the year then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 16 to 31.

trustees’ responsibility for the Annual Financial Statementsthe trustees are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual financial statements in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting practice. this responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibilityour responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with international Standards on Auditing. those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements, and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the annual financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual financial statements. the procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. in making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the annual financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

in common with similar organisations, it is not feasible for the trust to institute accounting controls over cash collections from donations and fundraising activities prior to the initial recording of this income in the accounting records. Accordingly, it was impractical for us to extend our examination beyond the receipts actually recorded.

opinionin our opinion, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves as to the completeness of cash collections, the annual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the children’s Hospital trust as at 31 december 2008, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting practice. Supplementary information without qualifying our opinion, we draw your attention to the fact that the supplementary information set out on page 32 to page 43 does not form part of the annual financial statements and is presented as additional information. We have not audited this information and accordingly do not express an opinion thereon.

the annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting practice. the annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the measurement of certain financial instruments which are carried at fair value, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below.

these accounting policies are consistent with the previous period.

1.1 SiGniFicAnt JudGeMentS And SourceS oF eStiMAtion uncertAintY

in preparing the annual financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the annual financial statements and related disclosures. use of available information and the application of judgement is inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may be material to the annual financial statements. no significant judgements were made at year-end.

1.2 propertY, plAnt And eQuipMent

the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when:

– it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the trust; and

– the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

costs include costs incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it. if a replacement cost is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Assets donated are initially recognised at a deemed cost, being the fair value of the asset on the date of donation.

day-to-day expenses incurred on property, plant and equipment are expensed directly in profit or loss for the period. Major maintenance expenses

that meet the recognition criteria are capitalised.

the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing an item and restoring the site on which it is located is also included in the cost of property, plant and equipment.

depreciation commences when an asset is available for use. depreciation is charged so as to write off the depreciable amount of items to their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, using a method that reflects the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the trust.

property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Description Useful lifecomputers 3 yearsFurniture and fittings 6 years

the residual value and the useful life of each asset are reviewed at each financial period-end.

each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately.

the depreciation charge for each period is recognised in profit or loss unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.

the gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognised. the gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item.

1.3 FinAnciAl inStruMentS

Initial recognition

the trust classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset or a financial liability in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

noteS to tHe AnnuAl FinAnciAl StAteMentS

1. PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE


noteS to tHe AnnuAl FinAnciAl StAteMentS continued

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the trust’s balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised initially at fair value. in the case of financial assets or liabilities not classified as at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument are added to the fair value.

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

An asset that is subsequently measured at cost or amortised cost is recognised initially at its fair value on the trade date.

Any change in the fair value of the asset to be received during the period between the trade date and the settlement date is not recognised for assets carried at cost or amortised cost, other than impairment losses.

Loan to related party

the loan to related party is recognised initially at fair value.

Subsequently the loan to related party is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amounts.

the loan to related party is classified as loans and receivables.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired. the allowance recognised is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying

amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.

the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement within operating expenses. When a receivable is uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account for accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in the income statement.

Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables.

Accounts payable

Accounts payable are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.Accounts payable are classified as other financial liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents

cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. these are initially and subsequently recorded at fair value. cash and cash equivalents are classified as loans and receivables.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are off-set and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is legally enforceable right to off-set the recognised amounts and there is an intention to realise the asset and settle the liabilities on a net basis.

Derecognition of financial instruments

A financial asset or portion of a financial asset is derecognised when:

– the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

– the trust retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay


them in full without any material delay to a third party under a pass through arrangement, or

– the trust has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (i) has transferred substantially all rights and rewards of the asset or (ii) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the rights and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

1.4 iMpAirMent oF non-FinAnciAl ASSetS

the trust assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. if any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the trust estimates the recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and 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 the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. in determining the fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

1.5 reVenue

revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the trust and the revenue can be reliably measured.

donations are recognised on receipt.

contract income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to receive the income. interest income is recognised, in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

dividends are recognised, in profit or loss, when

the trust’s right to receive payment has been established.

1.6 trAnSlAtion oF ForeiGn currencieS

Foreign currency transactions

transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the foreign functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. non-monetary items are translated using exchange rates at the date of transaction.

the trust’s functional and presentation currency is rands and all amounts are stated in rands. itemsincluded in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the trust operates. All exchange differences are taken to profit or loss.

1.7 eMploYee BeneFitS

Short-term employee benefits

the cost of short-term employee benefits (those payable within 12 months after the service is rendered, such as paid vacation leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits such as medical care), are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and are not discounted.

the expected cost of compensated absences is recognised as an expense as the employees render services that increase their entitlement or, in the case of non-accumulating absences, when the absences occur.

the expected cost of merit awards is recognised as an expense when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make such payment as a result of past performance.



2. STATEMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET EFFECTIVE

At the date of authorisation of these annual financial statements, the following Standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:

Standard, interpretation or amendment effective date*

iFrS 3 (Ac 140) Business combinations** 01 July 2009the standard includes a reconsidered application of the acquisition method, including changes to the scope of the standard, the definition of control and a business and the measurement of non-controlling interest. new disclosures are also required. the carrying amounts of any assets and liabilities that arose under business combinations prior to the application of the revised iFrS are not adjusted.

iFrS 7 (Ac 144) Financial instruments: disclosures** 01 January 2009the amendment prohibits the presentation of total interest income and expense as a component of net finance costs, unless the interest income and costs included in net finance costs are separately disclosed.

iAS 1 (Ac 101) presentation of Financial Statements** 01 January 2009the amendments include a comprehensive revision of primary statements, and include a requirement to introduce a statement of comprehensive income. there will be some limited presentational changes as a result of the introduction of this revised standard but no changes in measurement or recognition.

iAS 8 (Ac 103) Accounting policies, changes in Accounting estimates and errors** 01 January 2009the amendment clarifies the position that the implementation guidance for standards does not form part of international Financial reporting Standards and therefore does not contain requirements for financial statements.

iAS 16 (Ac 123) property, plant and equipment** 01 January 2009the definition of recoverable amount is amended to replace “net selling price” with the term “fair value less costs to sell”, in order to achieve consistency with iFrS 5 and iAS 36.

iAS 23 (Ac 114) Borrowing costs** 01 January 2009the amendments remove the option to expense borrowing costs on qualifying assets and requires the use of the capitalisation model and aligns the standard with iAS 39 by referring to the use of an effective interest rate as a component of borrowing costs.



Standard, interpretation or amendment effective date*

iAS 27 (Ac 132) consolidated and Separate Financial Statements** 01 January 2009the standard is aligned with iFrS 5 by clarifying that a parent entity that accounts for an investment in a subsidiary in accordance with iAS 39 and subsequently classifies the investment as held for sale would continue to account for the investment in accordance with iAS 39.

in addition, amendments to iAS 27 resulting from amendments to iFrS 3 reflect changes to the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interest and deal primarily with the accounting for changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries after control is obtained, the accounting for the loss of control of subsidiaries, and the allocation of profit or loss to controlling and non-controlling interests in a subsidiary.

01 July 2009

iAS 32 (Ac 125) Financial instruments: presentation** 01 January 2009the amendments to the standard results in some financial instruments currently meeting the definition of a financial liability being classified as equity as they represent a residual interest in the net assets of the trust.

iAS 36 (Ac 128) impairment of Assets** 01 January 2009the amendments require disclosure of estimates used to determined the recoverable amount.

iAS 38 (Ac 129) intangible Assets** 01 January 2009the amendment clarifies the circumstances in which a prepayment asset for advertising and promotional expenditure may be recognised.

* Effective for year ends commencing on or after this date** Available for early adoption for 31 December 2008 year ends

the trust will adopt the above standards, interpretations and amendments on their effective dates. Management expects that the adoption of the standards listed above will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application.

17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

the trust has various financial assets such as accounts receivable and cash and short term deposits which arise directly from its operations. the trust’s financial liabilities comprise accounts payable.

Liquidity risk

liquidity risk is the risk that the trust will be unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due. the trust manages liquidity risk through an ongoing review of future commitments and credit facilities. At year end r64 505 001 (2007: r83 893 564) of the trust’s assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents to ensure that the trust can meet its short term liabilities. All financial liabilities are due to be settled at the carrying values disclosed within three months of the balance sheet date.

Credit risk

credit risk consists mainly of cash deposits, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. the trust only deposits with major banks with high quality credit standing and limits exposure to any one counter party. the trust does not have any significant concentration of credit risk.

the trust’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying values of financial assets on the balance sheet. there are no off balance sheet financial commitments.

Market risk

the trust has exposure to market risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market price risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk.

Interest rate risk

the trust is exposed to interest rate risk as it places its funds in both fixed and floating interest rate instruments. cash and cash equivalents attract interest at rates that vary with the prime overdraft borrowing rate. the trust’s policy is to manage interest rate risk so that fluctuations in variable rates do not have a material impact on surplus or deficit for the year.

the table below summarises the trust’s exposure to interest rate risk by class of financial instrument.

2008 2007

r’ r’

cash and cash equivalents

- Variable 24 314 527 83 893 564

- Fixed 40 190 474 -

64 505 001 83 893 564

cash and cash equivalents are subject to floating interest rates, linked to the prime overdraft borrowing rate. interest was earned on favourable cash balances at rates varying between 10.50% and 12.00% (2007: 5.00% and 10.00%).

Sensitivity analysis

the sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk illustrates the trust’s sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates with all other variables held constant, on its deficit for the period. Based on exposures at the reporting date, a increase/decrease of 1.00% to 5.00% in interest rates for a full annual period would result in a decrease/increase in the deficit of approximately r645 050 to r3 225 250 (2007: r838 935 to r4 194 678).

Currency risk

the trust has a bank account denominated in foreign currency, namely British pound Sterling. the trust is therefore exposed to the movement in foreign currency exchange rates, and therefore currency risk. the bank account is used for deposits of donations received from foreign donors. At year end, an amount of GBp 52 908 (2007: GBp 50 627), converted to r725 069 (2007: r 693 130) was held by the trust.



Sensitivity analysis

the sensitivity analysis for currency risk illustrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the GBp/ZAr exchange rate, with all other variables held constant, on the trust deficit for the year. Based on the year end exposure, an increase/decrease in the value of the South African rand by 10.00% will result in a decrease/increase in the deficit for the period of approximately r72 506 (2007: r69 313).

Fair value

there is no material difference between the carrying value of the trust’s financial assets and financial liabilities and their fair value.

Capital risk management

the trust manages its accumulated funds as capital and seeks to hold funds in order to finance future projects in accordance with the trust’s objectives.

Donor review

Between January and december 2008, the children’s Hospital trust banked r50,586,371 in donations. this comprises r5,870,710 from corporates, r4,501,369 from events, promotions and cause-related Marketing, r4,042,234 from Government, r9,664,120 from individuals, r1,252,874 from the kresge Foundation, r627,890 from regular Giving (comprising Give As You earn and individual regular givers) and r24,627,175 from trusts & Foundations.

2008 has been one of enormous growth for the trust with regard to gaining support from major donors for the numerous projects that we undertook to complete. the support of trusts, Foundations and corporates this year has been exceptional, with 63% of our total income being received from this group. particular thanks are offered to our major supporters, Atlantic philanthropies, Adcock ingram Holdings ltd, the cape Argus, the dutch postcode lotteries, the elMA Foundation, engen, edcon, the Harry crossley Foundation, knorr-Bremse Global care, netcare and the pola pasvolsky charitable & educational trust.

A special thanks to our individual donors, Mr Ackerman and family, the Walton and Weiner Families, dr Wiese, Mrs Braam and Mrs Beyleveldt – personal giving is philanthropy at its most altruistic. Your support is hugely valued.

the children’s Hospital trust is extremely fortunate to have many committed organisations and individuals, who host special events to raise funds on our behalf. Many of them do this expecting no reward other than the knowledge that they have made a contribution to an extraordinary Hospital. An overview of fundraising events, promotions and cause-related Marketing initiatives held in 2008 is reflected in our supporter list on page 39 to 41. the enormous impact the community has on the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital is undisputable. We thank all the individuals, companies, schools and organisations who continue to help by giving whatever resources they have at their disposal. the substantial list of Gifts-in-kind donations in our supporter list on pages 42 and 43 is a tribute to the community and its passion for healing sick children. the generosity of donors to specific projects and needs of the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital is inspirational.

Healing children to go home where they belong

Meet two-year-old Swalha nandwa Munyanya. this bright little girl from kenya came to the red cross War Memorial children's Hospital struggling to breathe. two months later she returned home with her mother, along with a special machine to help her breathe. little Swalha has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) which means that she will never be able to breathe without assistance.

two unique programmes at the Hospital provided the platform for Swalha to not only be cared for by someone who speaks her native language, but to return home to live as normal a life as is possible for a child with SMA.

So how was this possible? While in Hospital, young Swalha and her family had the good fortune of meeting Mercy lekoyiet, a nurse from Gertrude’s Garden children’s Hospital in nairobi, kenya. Mercy was one of the 18 registered nurses from across the African continent doing a full-time specialist paediatric critical care postgraduate programme at the Hospital, in collaboration with the university of cape town's division of nursing and Midwifery. Students spend more than half their time on the programme working in wards and clinical settings to gain practical experience. it was here that Mercy and lily, Swalha’s mother, speaking a common language, were able to work out the complexities of Swalha’s care together.

the tracheostomy and Ventilation Home care programme, headed up by Sister Jane Booth at the Hospital, enabled Swalha’s mother, lily, to be trained to care for Swalha at home even though she needed skilled nursing care and a machine to enable her to breathe. lily lived in the Hospital with her daughter and learnt the procedures needed to care for her child following the operation. Within two months Swalha and lily were able to fly back to kenya on a commercial flight along with all her medical trappings. now this little kenyan is able to experience the best possible quality of life within the context of her family and community.

With her experience at the red cross War Memorial children's Hospital, together with additional knowledge and skills, Mercy will help set up a similar tracheostomy and Ventilation Home care programme at Gertrude's Garden Hospital in nairobi, and on her return she plans to assist in teaching other families to care for their children who need extensive home nursing to live. For both Swalha and lily knowing that they will see Mercy in nairobi when she has completed her course is a wonderful reassurance to look forward to.

little Alive cetywayo was just 2 months old when he was admitted to the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital with severe gastro-enteritis. Within days he had been stabilised and was ready for discharge. nursing staff however noticed that his abdomen was extremely swollen and an x-ray revealed that he had developed a bowel obstruction that was causing the swelling. this was due to a loop of bowel that had got trapped within a hernia. At this stage Alive stopped breathing because of the immense pressure from his enlarged abdomen and had to be resuscitated. He was rushed into theatre where surgeons performed an emergency procedure repairing the hernia that had caused the initial obstruction. the operation was a success and Alive is well and home with his young mom.

Baby thembeka rolinyathi was born prematurely at just 34 weeks with a complication in his bowel. little thembeka had his first operation at the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital when he was just 3 days old and underwent more surgery shortly thereafter, when surgeons removed large pieces of his colon that were infected. if not addressed quickly, this fairly common complication in premature babies can cause death as the immature bowel becomes infected and internal tissue starts to die off rapidly, which leads to major feeding and nutritional difficulties. After months in hospital, baby thembeka and his family were happy to have him return home healthy. unfortunately he had to return to the Hospital soon after he was discharged as he had developed gastro-enteritis. He was started on a special parental feeding programme, which is a fluid mixture injected into the blood that contains all the protein, sugars, fat, vitamins and minerals that babies require. this special diet will ensure that thembeka gets all the nutrition he needs to develop well. He has recently moved onto eating solid food in the form of rice cereal and his doctors are happy that he’s progressing well and has started putting on some much-needed weight.

Samora Makhele is an only child from Vredenberg. He was just 6 months old when he was first admitted to the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital. He had severe jaundice, which gave his skin and eyes a yellowish tinge and he was diagnosed with chronic liver disease within days.

unfortunately Samora also contracted tB and needed to be treated accordingly before a liver transplant could be considered. during this time he continued to receive supportive treatment from the Hospital including a range of vital multi-vitamins and an especially nutritious diet programme.

At 2 years and 9 months old, he was finally well enough for surgery. Samora endured an 8-hour liver transplant operation at the red cross War Memorial children’s Hospital. this was the 94th transplant done at the Hospital since 1991. He has spent almost 3 months in hospital rehabilitating under the watchful eye of his doctors and his loving mom, and is looking forward to going home soon.
