Notes

- Change in accounting policy: APNIC has applied accrual accounting in recognising membership fee revenue to comply with the Australian Accounting Standards. The financial effect of the change was an increase in liability and a reduction on operating profit by $494,193.

- After APNIC relocated to Australia, it purchased equipment resulting in an increase of 281% in equipment value.

- Share capital balance of $1.63 represents a US$1.00 share of APNIC Seychelles' company and another AU$1.00 share of the Australian company.

- Cash holding has steadily increased by 85%. A total cash holding of fifty percent of APNIC's total budget was mandated by the Executive Council Members in January 1997 in Hong Kong. APNIC was able to meet the 50% requirement during the 1998.

Notes

- During 1998, APNIC was an underwriter for APRICOT activities.

- One of the objects of APNIC is to provide educational opportunities to further Members' technical and policy understanding of the industry – as stated in the By-laws of APNIC.

- APNIC underwrote a substantial loss from APRICOT '97; however, APRICOT '98 resulted in profit. Reasons: a) many speakers who volunteered to participate only asked for the minimum expenses or no expenses at all; b) Organisation was subcontracted to a person outside of APNIC who could hold the costs to the minimum; c) more last minute sponsors were solicited by APNIC volunteers.
