Discussion and Analysis of the Concise Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity

The New South Wales Government is not required under legislation to contribute equity to the Corporation. Retained profits are held in lieu of contributed equity and provide a capital base commensurate with the risks inherent in the Corporation’s business.  The Board approved an increase in the Corporation’s capital base to $50 million to take effect over the next financial year.
