President’s Report2012 saw the implementation of the State Championship strategy for venue selection based on each Championship’scompetitive level. We are confident that participants benefited from the facility allocations during this field season.We are currently reviewing our Hockey NSW Strategic Facility Plan for field and indoor facilities to strategically plan thefurther development of facility growth, and to have an understanding of the ongoing maintenance and renewal of existingfacilities around the state.We are also reviewing our member and competition database and considering a move to online registrations. A key focusis to streamline the efficiency of the membership registration process to decrease the burden on registrars.At the 2012 FHE Country v City Challenge Hockey NSW introduced a new focus on player development, with addedcoaching opportunities for participants. It was a great environment to improve and refine player skills over the course ofthe weekend. The participants benefited from working with former and current state team players, Emma McLeish, HarrietMoore, and Kurt Ogilvie and received some expert knowledge and experience from former Australian players MichelleMitchell, Warren Birmingham, Bianca Netzler, and Corinna Aitken along with National Training Centre coaches LarryMcIntosh, Anthony Thornton and Judy Laing. This was a great educational opportunity for our City and Country athletes.We also introduced the Development team concept for our U13 and U15 age groups. This was designed to broaden theopportunity for more athletes to experience higher-level competition. The teams were based at the Ballina synthetic pitchfacility and experienced nutrition and life management sessions, specialist agility and speed training sessions, and skillsessions. The teams then travelled to Grafton for two days of matches against Queensland. Our thanks are extended toWarren Birmingham and Emma McLeish for making this Development Camp possible.Hockey NSW currently provides annual residential Skills Development Camps (SDC) for players aged U13, U14 and U15.A formal review has been conducted by the Game Development Committee in regard to the structure for the Hockey NSWSDCs. The SDCs have the potential to assist Hockey NSW significantly in attracting, retaining and developing players,umpires and coaches, provided they are properly structured and managed. They can also improve junior player skilllevels, develop junior umpires and improve the skill base of hockey coaches across the State. Along with these benefits,the camps also play an important role in facilitating often lifelong friendships between players across the State and in thewider hockey ‘family’.The review concluded that the SDCs are to be formally incorporated into the Hockey NSW player pathways. The SDC rolewill be to facilitate talent recognition and the monitoring of player development, and where possible, pathways for coachesand umpires will be structured to include participation at the SDCs.The Hon. Graham Annesley, MP Minister for Sport and Recreation has been very supportive of Hockey NSW, as the StateGovernment delivers the facility fund commitment. Hockey NSW was joined by the Minister for Sport and Recreation atfacility events at Narellan, Moorebank, Tamworth, Ryde and Parkes. We look forward to working with the Minister for Sportand Recreation in the future to further expand our facilities across the state.Many thanks go to our former CEO, Paul Bruce, for his five year tenure with Hockey NSW. Many strategic and structuralchanges were implemented during his tenure including the establishment of the $5.5M facility funding.In June we welcomed Tony Mestrov to the role of Hockey NSW CEO. Tony brings a strong strategic and commercial focus,whilst balancing the needs of our volunteer membership organisation. He brings to the CEO’s role a very impressivebackground in business development and income generation. He has a good working knowledge of sport at bothcommunity and elite levels, and has a proven history of working with volunteer networks. We have already witnessedthe development of his relationship strategies with all stakeholders and look forward to a new era of growth forHockey NSW Ltd.2

A key event in the 2012 calendar was the London Olympic Games. NSW was honoured with a strong representation of playingand umpiring athletes. Our congratulations are extended to Olympic team members Jade Close, Toni Cronk, Casey Eastham,Kate Jenner, Megan Rivers, Emily Smith, Matthew Butturini, Kieran Govers and Simon Orchard. Olympic umpires Lisa Roachand David Gentles, both attained the distinction of officiating at their respective Gold medal games. It has been another yearof distinction for David as he exits the international stage at the height of his career. We wish David every success in his finalInternational Tournament at the Champions Trophy in Melbourne in December.Significant work has occurred in crafting an operating model for a sustainable future. The financial results in 2012 are a directresult of key strategic decisions taken to implement this model.The Board extends its thanks to the team of volunteers that have supported Hockey NSW throughout 2012. To the Board,Committee Chairs and members, technical officials, umpires, coaches, managers and volunteers, thank you for the generousgift of your time and expertise to support hockey in NSW.Hockey NSW has a wonderful team of staff members. Thank you for your dedication to our stakeholders during 2012.Jeff McEwenPresident3

Chief ExecutiveOfficer’s ReportHockey NSW has seen a period of both financial and business stability over the past year, which is important for the growthof the organisation in moving to a more commercially focused business model. Some difficult decisions have been made bythe Board over the past 12 months, which has seen Hockey NSW be more financially viable with an exciting year ahead. Thisfinancial stability has not only allowed for a higher rate of staff retention but more funds to pour back into the developmentof the game. This would then transgress into lifting the participation at a higher rate than in previous years, and moredevelopment opportunities for all hockey players throughout the state.One of the main strategies of the Hockey NSW Board was to lift the staff retention rate. This has been successful with a strongcore of skilled, diligent and hardworking staff remaining within the organisation. This will enable the hockey community in NSWto become more synonoumous with Hockey NSW staff, and therefore build a stronger working relationship with our members.Hockey NSW looks forward to a strong next 12 months, with more commercial and game development initiatives that willcontinue to ensure steady growth in participation and registration rates for hockey in NSW. I want to take this opportunity tothank all of the Hockey NSW staff for all of their hard work and dedication, it is very much appreciated by the Board of HockeyNSW as well as the hockey community.The Board of Hockey NSW has identified the importance of game development with some new initiatives trialled this year,with a good platform to work on for 2013. A development clinic was implemented before both the U13 Girls and Boys StateChampionships this year. The attendance at both of those clinics was a testament to the effort of all associations and thefeedback was extremely positive. The strategy behind these clinics is to provide quality coaching to all children, but to alsogive coaches more opportunity to learn and grow their skills. Over the next 12 months it is important to incorporate umpiresand technical officials into these development days to develop their own skills moving forward.Hockey NSW has made the decision to bring the skills development camps for U13, U14 and U15 back in-house, as opposedto an outsourcing model. The SDC’s will assist Hockey NSW in attracting, retaining and developing players, umpires andcoaches. There is great assurance of these camps being well structured and managed by Hockey NSW. The focus will be onensuring coaches are of the highest level, therefore parents will appreciate the benefits of these camps, including facilitatinglifelong friendships between players across the state. This year, Hockey NSW selected development teams for Under 13s andUnder 15s and conducted a skills development camp that was showcased in Ballina and Grafton. There was a large amountof positive feedback, which has generated huge excitement for the camps to be held in April 2013. It is important to notethat all associations will be represented at these skills development camps, ensuring development within both regional andmetropolitan areas of the state.4

To date $1.85 million of the $5.5 million NSW government facility development grant has been expended to the following facilities:Tamworth Hockey Association, Parkes Hockey, Macarthur Hockey Association and Moorebank Liverpool District Hockey Club.Other projects that are to receive allocated funding within this grant will be Northern Districts Hockey Association, SutherlandShire Hockey Association and Blacktown City Council. Hockey NSW also completed a facility audit that includes indoor facilitiesand the findings will be communicated to the hockey community in the coming months.A special mention must also go to the NSW Sports Minister, Graham Annesley, President of Ryde Hunters Hill Hockey Club,Maurice Dawson, as well as a number of individuals involved in a renewal of the lease for the Ryde Hunters Hill Hockey Club until2024. Although the minor details are still being worked through, the new lease gives the Ryde Hunters Hill Club the security itrequires to move forward in the future.Looking ahead, Hockey NSW is targeting growth in the revenue base to come from the negotiation of new sponsorship contracts.Through this growth, Hockey NSW will be able to reallocate these funds into new development and schools programs, as welldeveloping new programs for coaches, umpires and technical officials. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank thecurrent Hockey NSW major sponsors for their loyal and on-going support: Sports Technology International Sportscover FHE and Hemingway Sports Canterbury2012 saw a slight increase in registration numbers in NSW, which is in line with Hockey NSW strategic objective to attractand retain more people in hockey. The steady growth in registration and participation numbers should continue, given thedevelopment strategies outlined for 2013 and beyond. Hockey NSW, as part of the objective to deliver quality governanceand operational frameworks, will look to give clubs and associations more direction in relation to governance, such as buildingsinking funds for turf maintenance.Hockey NSW is wishing to build broader income bases for clubs, which is based on a strategy of using the group purchasingpower of clubs and associations to attract sponsorship funds, and also for these organisations to receive rebates on the goodsor commodities sold. This is a broader strategy of Hockey NSW to allow clubs and associations to grow income streams, in orderto achieve financial stability given the increasing cost of our sport.The most pleasing aspect of the past year has been the delivery of quality events by Hockey NSW events staff and ourinvaluable volunteers. Obviously, this is in line with Hockey NSW’s strategic objective which is to develop an event’s structure thatwill grow the sport, to which I believe, has been achieved through careful planning by our events staff. Hockey NSW is alwayslooking to improve its event structure and will continue to work with members and volunteers to achieve desired outcomes. Atthis point, I would like to not only thank my events staff personally, but all the officials and umpires. The contribution made byvolunteers and officials underpins the success at these events. We look forward to continued success in 2013.To all of the players that represented their state this year, I congratulate you and give special mention to those players in teamsthat triumphed in winning National Championships. To all of the Coaches, Managers, Officials and Umpires who were involved inState Championships and Teams, your contribution is immeasurable and we look forward to seeing you all in 2013.Personally, I would like to thank the hockey community for the warm welcome since the commencement of my role in late June. Ihave thoroughly enjoyed working with all stakeholders and will continue to work to develop the great game of hockey in 2013.I would also like to thank the President of Hockey NSW, Jeff McEwen and the Board for their tireless work and contribution tohockey in NSW over the past 12 months.Tony MestrovChief Executive Officer5

Game DevelopmentCommittee ReportThe Game Development Committee’s aim is to help Hockey NSW and associations in attracting, developing and retaining playersand officials. The GDC continued to evolve in 2012 as we considered new challenges and opportunities. Overall 2012 has beena very encouraging and positive year.At the beginning of 2012 Hockey NSW introduced a number of new members to the GDC, as part of its policy of continuallyupdating Committee memberships. Stephen Orchard and Rowan Johnston were reappointed to the GDC, along with newmembers Rebecca Sanders (Board rep), Stewart Dearing, David Johnston, Frank Lauc and Kylie Smith. These new members arealready heavily involved in assessing how best we can assist the game. I thank Di Writer, Graeme McKenzie (Board rep), RhondaSmyth and David Sutherland for their contribution to the GDC in recent years. The GDC cannot be truly effective unless HockeyNSW has a Game Development Manger with the skills and experience needed to translate initiatives into effective actions. GinaRees filled that role superbly throughout 2012, supported by Jonathon Schaefer and Emma McLeish (nee Cobbin), who joinedGina’s Game Development team during the year. Hockey NSW and Associations significantly benefitted from the efficiency andincreased “corporate knowledge” that flows from having a stable and experienced team.“Game Development” is an almost unlimited concept. Rather than try to be all things to all people, the GDC continued to focuson specific areas where it believes it can add the most value to Hockey NSW and its Game Development team as well as to allAssociations. The four areas of focus for 2012 were: The Game Development Officer (GDO) network, Officiating Development, Small Sided Games (SSGs) and Skills Development Camps (SDCs).Game Development Officer NetworkHockey NSW currently has 6 GDOs, which operate across 5 associations. They are part-time employees who are responsiblefor helping attract new players to hockey, and therefore to the clubs in their regions. The costs are shared equally by HockeyNSW and local Associations. This initiative began in 2009 and has been successful. However, Hockey NSW’s GD team and theGDC believe there is room for great improvement. Areas of focus are developing and applying KPIs so there is a systematicassessment of the activities that are most effective, as well as enabling information to be shared easily between GDOsand Hockey NSW’s GD team. We would like to expand the GDO network, but finding and retaining suitable people can bechallenging.Skills Development CampsIn late 2011, the GDC formed a Working Group to make recommendations to Hockey NSW on how best to promote the SDCs.The Working Group consisted of Rowan Johnston (Chair), Bianca Netzler, Graeme McKenzie, David Willott and Di Writer, alongwith Gina Rees. The GDC thanks these people for their enormous efforts made in assessing the current and future SDCs,and congratulates them on the high quality of documents prepared for Hockey NSW. Hockey NSW accepted the paper’srecommendations, and there has been considerable work by the GD team to implement new arrangements for SDCs for 2013,with the new structure and branding for the SDCs looking very promising. They Group’s contribution should help Hockey NSWand the Game Development team re-establish the SDCs as popular, successful and cost-effective development opportunities forplayers from across the State.6

Officiating DevelopmentIn 2011 the GDC formed an Officiating Development Team (ODT) to standardise the numerous development activities forumpires and officials. These activities were previously being undertaken across the State in a haphazard manner; therefore,this area is perhaps one of the final tasks in bringing the men and women of NSW into “One Hockey”. The ODT is chaired byMeg Smith, who has a PhD in Industrial Relations. This has proved to be a useful qualification in progressing and harmonisingthe process of appointments across the State. The major hurdle for the ODT has been the lack of time available to the limitednumber of eligible volunteers who can help implement an effective process for all Hockey NSW events. The ODT hosted someaccreditation and education courses in 2012 but this number will increase for 2013 now that we have a better understandingof the needs of associations, the barriers to accreditation and the best ways to utilise the limited resources available to us forthese initiatives.The GDC particularly wants to thank Meg for her enormous contribution in developing and chairing the ODT and her ongoingwork in bringing these activities together in a form that can now be furthered by Hockey NSW.Small Sided GamesHockey in NSW – and perhaps all over Australia – has been slow to use the potential for small sided games (SSGs) to attractand develop young players. Countries, like England, insist on SSGs for all hockey competitions up to Under 13’s. Britain’srecently improved international performance highlights how SSGs for youngsters can underpin elite performance. In Australia,our competitor team-sports, such as soccer and rugby league, already use SSGs extensively to attract and retain youngplayers. The popularity of SSGs is also seen in the ongoing success of other popular team sports like netball and basketball,which are effectively SSGs even when played by adults.Hockey Australia is moving slowly to implement SSGs as part of its official program. The GDC believes Hockey NSW shouldtake a lead here and implement them broadly and as soon as it’s achievable. Extensive consideration is being given to theways that Hockey NSW can mandate this. This includes assessing not only the very positive impacts SSGs have for youngplayers, but also the ways these benefits can be integrated into areas such as State Championships, State teams, officiatingdevelopment, player pathways and even club finances. It is potentially a significant change for Hockey NSW, but the rewardsfor players, clubs, and associations as well as Hockey NSW, could be substantial.The GDC wants to thank the board of Hockey NSW, including outgoing CEO Paul Bruce, for their support in recent years. TheGDC is pleased by the increased Board focus on widening the participation rate in hockey. Our ability to develop the sporttherefore depends on the things we can do now to encourage more players and volunteers to join and remain in the sport.Increasing the size of our player base is the only real way to ensure that hockey in NSW has the depth of talent necessary forfuture elite success.Rowan JohnstonChair7

Marketing Committee ReportIn 2011, the Marketing Committee set the following key objectives for 2012:Recommendation of Annual Awards Function Format and VenueFollowing much discussion about past Awards events, a recommendation was made to the Board to update the current formatof the Annual Awards Dinner to a Cocktail-style event with an Olympics theme. The Board’s subsequent endorsement of theserecommendations paved the way for a successful 2011 Awards event, where 151 guests attended, a significant increase from 2010.The revised format enabled guests to move around the room to view Olympic memorabilia displays, socialise with other guests andchat freely between presentations. The Awards presentation and Hall of Fame Induction components were streamlined to enableopportunities for mingling throughout the proceedings. The Q&A session, with four past Olympians, was well received and similarly,the Q&A session with four current National squad members, was also a highlight for guests.Provide input into the 2012 Game Development Recruitment andPromotion PlanWith the Game Development Department being a core business focus for Hockey NSW, the Marketing Committee provided inputinto the 2012 Game Development Recruitment and Promotion Plan. The numerous clinics, player visits and resources organised topromote game development were schedule in conjunction with the London 2012 Olympic Games, to capture the hype created byour Australian teams. The Plan was also aimed at profiling our NSW players in Olympic squads, engage associations and clubs todevelop new participant activities, and provide hockey followers and participants with content from the Olympic Games, includingcompetitions and regular results updates.Development of a NSW-based London 2012 Olympics Promotion Campaignand BudgetA plan was devised to maximise the marketing potential of the London 2012 Olympic Games, to promote the Hockey NSW brand.Hockey NSW worked hard with Hockey Australia to secure national player availability, engage with members of the public andexisting hockey members through the hype of Olympics hockey. Social channels were promoted heavily during the period toengage and expand our community of Hockey NSW followers, using Facebook and Twitter. With no additional marketing budgetavailable, these activities were all covered within the existing Communications budget.Agreement of Estimated Values for the Hockey NSW Commercial PropertiesThe commercial properties of Hockey NSW were mapped out in areas of: Game Development – Clinics, Hook Into Hockey, new game formats. High Performance – State Teams and Coaches. Member Services – Associations and Clubs. Events – State Championships, Programs, Awards event.The value proposition for each of these opportunities is under review with the current CEO, Tony Mestrov, to identify areas forrevenue generation.In conclusion, with the continued success of NSW teams, an extensive membership base in both regional and metropolitan NSW,and strong representation of NSW players in National squads and the 2012 London Olympic Teams, there is an opportunity forHockey NSW to capitalise on this sporting success and translate it into business success. The focus for the year ahead, will be toestablish a strong Hockey NSW brand presence through our metropolitan and regional competitions, and grow sponsorship revenuethrough corporate and government partnerships.Alison GrahamChair8

Facilities Committee ReportThe Facilities Committee had a busy year. The priority of the committee was to ensure the continued administration of the GrantFunding Programme across the 7 major projects at various stages of development for refurbished or new turf scoping. Theseprojects are located at Sutherland, Blacktown, Macarthur, Moorebank, Pennant Hills, Parkes and Tamworth. $1.85M funds weredistributed across 4 projects, 3 were completed and 3 remain in progress for 2013.The Facilities Committee in 2012 underwent some movement in its members. Currently the committee is comprised of SueSavage (Chair), David Alexander, Garry Bull, Greg Pullman, Graeme Mackenzie (Board representative) and Peter Tate (staffmember, Secretary). During 2012 a separate Project Working Group was formed in order to review the status of the individualGrant Funded projects in detail, and ensure proper governance and program management. This group consists of Garry Bull(Chair), Peter Tate (Secretary), Stephen Bourke, and Matthew Ferguson (Government member).In addition to the main funding administration, other projects and initiatives were included in the committee’s focus. Administration of Shellharbour hockey centre: In 2012 due to a local issue between council and the centre’s administration,Hockey NSW was asked to step in to temporarily administer the facility until the next administrative body was established. New Pitch Development /Upgrade projects and issues: A number of potential facilities sites outside of those allocated forexisting Grant Funding are under discussion. Project Sponsors have contacted Hockey NSW for guidance, recommendationsand general advice, and support in getting the projects off the ground or review issues to be resolved with local governingbodies. These include Manly, St. Ives, Alexandria, and Port Macquarie. Case Studies: A case study regarding recycled rainwater based on the Shoal is in process to educate facilities operators onthe benefit. Updated Facilities Audit: A Refresh of the 2010 Facilities Audit is underway to update data for future funding pipelines, toestablish capacity and plans to ensure facilities are sustainable and to include a deeper look at indoor needs.Focus for 2013In 2013 the committee will continue to administer the Grant Programme according to its current practice, as well as continue toengage the community on facilities matters and will undertake a more proactive role and focus on sustainability.Some projects in the pipeline are: Facilities Workshop for Members aimed to educate Associations on best practice for maintenance of facilities, and provideadvice on budgeting, operating and planning for upgrades and expansion. Publish Best Practice Model for Facility Sustainability. Create an action plan based on the results of the updated Facilities Survey to minimize risk and ensure visibility at statebody levels of the support required for facility development and upgrades. Continued presence where needed in expanding and evolving projects such as Blacktown. Handover of the Shellharbour facility to the next administering body.The facilities committee has a very cooperative approach to engagement and support to the hockey community. We lookforward to continued partnership with the Hockey NSW team and the members of government to advance the quality andavailability of facilities for hockey as we progress into 2013.Sue SavageChair9

Game ManagementCommittee ReportThe 2012 season has been an extremely busy one for the Game Management Committee and the Hockey NSW Events staff,particularly due to the increased participation in Indoor and Field State Championships as well as the many national eventshosted during the past 12 months.The Game Management Committee comprises of experienced representatives from both disciplines, working side-by-side todeliver consistent, high-quality competitions and events for both field and indoor hockey players. I would like to thank thesemembers who served on the Committee this year, for their hard work and dedication to ensuring that hockey within NSW hascontinued to move forward.Field State ChampionshipsThe Committee has continued to strive for uniformity across all of our Championships, resulting in all Field State Championshipsbeing conducted under the Full State format.The Game Management Committee, with the direction of the Game Development Committee, introduced a developmentcomponent to the U13’s Field State Championships this year, by expanding this year’s U13’s State Championships to a four dayevent, in which the first day incorporated a Player, Coach and Umpire Development opportunity.Prior to the commencement of the 2012 State Championships season, the Committee reviewed the Championship OperationsManual and the Championship Rules, to ensure that the most relevant information was available to our members. As with allHockey NSW policies and procedures, we encourage members to provide feedback which will enable us to deliver the bestpossible events each year.Indoor State ChampionshipsIndoor State Championships have proven to be increasingly popular over the past years. Members have identified the benefits ofIndoor competitions and skills and how they can be refined and transferable to the next field season. With the growth of Indoorhockey we must ensure that policies and procedures come into line where appropriate, with those established over many yearsfor field hockey, as well as looking into opportunities for additional host venues around New South Wales.Hockey NSW experienced a significant increase in the number of teams participating in the 2011-12 Indoor State Championships.Due to this increase, the Game Management Committee and Hockey NSW have encountered some logistical problems.To address these problems and to determine the future direction of the sport, a survey was sent to all affiliated HockeyAssociations and their members to gain feedback. With an overwhelming 500 responses there was a strong preference tocontinue holding U13 (66.7 %), U15 (58.3%) and Masters (57.8%) Indoor State Championships, on the same weekend in thesame town and venue; with both genders participating at the one time. To accommodate this request from our members, wehave had to source alternative venues that will manage this growth for the future.As a result of this feedback there has been a pressing need to source new venues in different locations. This has been far fromeasy, not only do we need courts bigger than the average basketball court but we require at least 4 of them at the same venue.However, once a suitable venue is located there are further issues to be negotiated, such as temporary markings on floors fromhockey sticks, accommodation requirements and Indoor hockey boards.I would like to compliment Lauren Woods at Hockey NSW for the work that has been done in sourcing the new venues andnegotiating our usage of the courts. This has been a mammoth task and she is to be applauded for her professionalism inmeeting this challenge.10

To the Associations that hosted State Championships this year, I would like to offer a huge thanks. It takes a concerted effortby the organising committee of these Associations, and we are extremely lucky and thankful to have so many willing volunteersassisting us in conducting these events.Thank you also to all the hard-working officials who worked tirelessly at the many championships held throughout the state.Without these officials volunteering their time, the championships would not be possible.National ChampionshipsHockey NSW had a very busy year on the national event scene. We hosted the following events during 2012: Australian U18 Women Championships Australian U13 Boys Championships Kookaburra V China SeriesIt is always a thrill to be able to host an International event and to be given the opportunity to host the Kookaburra v China 3match series at Illawarra Credit Union Hockey Stadium in March was a great opportunity to showcase this wonderful stadium.I would like to personally thank all of the volunteers who continue to give so willingly their time and expertise to ensure that allof the events hosted in NSW run so smoothly. Without your support and enthusiasm, we would not be able to provide suchwonderful experiences for our players and supporters.It would be very remiss not to mention the wonderful support provided to the Game Management Committee by former HockeyNSW Chief Executive Officer, Paul Bruce. I wish Paul well in his future endeavours and look forward to building a strong workingrelationship with the new Chief Executive Officer, Tony Mestrov.To all of the staff at Hockey NSW, thank you for your support and all of the work that you do in promoting our wonderful sport.Janet GouldChair11

High Performance Committee ReportAt the end of 2011, Hockey NSW introduced a newly formed High Performance Committee to assist in developing and managing thegame of Field and Indoor hockey at the High Performance level in NSW. Prior to the commencement of the 2012 Field and IndoorHockey Season, the Committee identified the need to review the Hockey NSW State Team Selection Policy and the Hockey NSW PlayerRelease Policy, to ensure that most relevant information is available to all our members.Hockey NSW Player BenchmarksThe High Performance Committee assisted in developing benchmarks to guide players, parents and coaches with an indication of thelevel of competency, fitness and mental aptitude required, in order to assist players of every age group to further develop their playingability. These benchmarks are to offer some standards as to the requirements for selection criteria that is considered in each age groupand can be used as a goal setting tool by players and coaches during both on and off season preparation times, which are aimed atboth males and females.12

2012 FHE Country v City ChallengeThe FHE Country v City Challenge consistently provides a great opportunity to showcase some of our best NSW junior playersrepresenting their region of origin. This tournament is also a great development opportunity for our State’s coaches, officialsand umpires. The FHE Country v City Challenge mainly focused on junior player development, and with added coachingopportunities for the participants before their matches, it was a great environment to improve and refine the players’ skills overthe course of the weekend. The teams benefited from working with former and current state team players, Emma McLeish(Cobbin), Harriet Moore, Kurt Ogilvie and Yasmine Phillips and received expert knowledge and experience from formerAustralian players, Michelle Mitchell, Warren Birmingham, Bianca Broadhurst (Netzler) and Corinna Aitken, as well as NationalTraining Centre Coaches, Larry McIntosh, Anthony Thornton and Judy Laing. This was a great educational opportunity for ourCity and Country athletes. Due to the success of this program, the High Performance Committee will be continuing this formatfor 2013.Introduction of Development Teams at U13 & U15 FieldHockey NSW had the goal to provide more junior players with the opportunity to be part of a wider state team developmentsquad. Due to the depth of talent we have in NSW, there is an opportunity for us to increase the development of our juniorplayers. As Hockey NSW is privileged to have a large talent pool in the 13 and 15 age groups, we want to provide as manydevelopment opportunities as possible. This will enable young players with the opportunity to interact with high qualitycoaching and develop their hockey skills.At the 2012 Hockey NSW Field State Championships for both U13’s and U15’s (male and female), squads of 45 playerswere selected to attend the Hockey NSW High Performance Camp in their respective age groups. Following the camps, twoteams were selected. The NSW state team was then selected and competed at the Australian National Championship. Thedevelopment team became the NSW Blues, which took part in a development camp in Ballina, where players trained, andtravelled to Grafton to play games against Queensland’s development teams. This tour received excellent feedback by bothplayers and parents, with the intention to develop this program further in 2013. I would like thank Warren Birmingham for beingthe driving force behind this program and working with Emma McLeish (Cobbin) and the High Performance Committee toachieve this goal.I would like to personally thank all of the volunteers who continue to give so willingly their time and expertise in assisting withthe High Performance Committee Programs and Incentives. Without Coaches and Managers we would fail to once again havethe success we achieved in 2012.To all of the staff at Hockey NSW, thank you for your support and all of the work that you do in promoting our wonderful sport.Colin BoothChair13

KookaburrasTest SeriesHockey NSW was thrilled to host a three match test series between the then Men’s World Number One Team, theKookaburras, and World Number Seventeen, China, throughout March earlier this year at Illawarra Credit Union HockeyStadium in Unanderra.The series showcased a broad range of players, each vying for their ticket to London, to take part in the 2012 OlympicGames. It was an excellent opportunity for all players to shine and show what they were capable of under pressure,including four players from NSW, Matthew Butturini, Kieran Govers, Simon Orchard and Mark Paterson.Throughout the test series, both teams displayed a highly physical contest, providing a great spectacle for the NSWhockey crowds. The first match opened up rapidly, with the Kookaburras sending home 10 goals to China’s 1. NSW own,Kieran Govers scored a field goal in the 36th minute, with a roaring local crowd cheering him on, with the match alsorepresenting NSW Simon Orchard’s 100th International Cap.A 10-0 win to the Kookaburras in the second match continued to display a team that was on form and ready to impressat London 2012. With a high scoring percentage, gaining 6 successful goal shots from 8, the Kookaburras were headinginto the closing match of the series against China with confidence. Assisting this confidence was NSW Matthew Butturini,shooting a brilliant penalty corner into the net in the 54th minute.The final match of the series was a clean Kookaburra sweep over China, with a final score of 7-0. It was a solidperformance that begun with a great start, leaving the rest of the match open for the Kookaburra’s to take control. SimonOrchard secured a penalty shot in the 40th minute, aiding his team to reach one of their highest goal scoring series.15

NSW Arrows ReportWith the 2012 Australian Hockey League being held in an Olympic year, preparation for the team was expected to be astrenuous task but one that NSW was capable of before commencing their campaign. The Arrows consisted of a young,energetic group, with 5 players making their AHL debut, Mathilda Carmichael, Georgina Morgan, Johanna Rowlands, KirstenPearce and Cara Simpson. Knowing our National players had a very busy Olympic year, a tough campaign was to be expected,however due to an extremely focused team, as well as determined coaching staff and management, the hockey communitywitnessed the Arrows 2012 journey to the AHL Grand Final.With a young squad, the Arrows were ready for the challenge and the obstacles that may present themselves during thetournament. But as coaching staff noted, all players raised to these challenges, showing their incredible talent and worth, whilstalso providing a preview of some of the young players successfully coming through the pathways to play at an elite level.16

Arrows SquadJocelyn Bartram, Eliza Brazel, Belinda Brooks, Mathilda Carmichael, Jade Close, Toni Cronk, Casey Eastham, Kate Jenner,Nina Khoury, Tamsin Lee, Emma McLeish, Rachel Miller, Georgina Morgan, Kirsten Pearce, Johanna Rowlands, Cara Simpson,Emily Smith and Hollie Webster.Game One: NSW Arrows 3 DEF TAS Van Demons 1Goal Scores: Georgie Morgan PC 13m, Hollie Webster GH 33m, Emma McLeish FG 38mGame Two: NSW Arrows 0 DEF by ACT Strikers 2Game Three: NSW Arrows 0 DRAW with VIC Vipers 0Game Four: NSW Arrows 0 DEF by SA Southern Suns 1Game Five: NSW Arrows 1 DEF QLD Scorchers 0Goal Scorers: Hollie Webster FG 62mGame Six: NSW Arrows 1 DRAW with WA Diamonds 1Goal Scorers: Emily Smith FG 52mGame Seven: NSW Arrows 4 DEF NT Pearls 0Goal Scorers: George Morgan PC 6m, Nina Khoury FG 23m, Belinda Brooks FG 19m, Kirsten Pearce FG 67m.Game Eight SEMI-FINALS: NSW Arrows 2 DEF QLD Scorchers 1Goal Scorers: Georgie Morgan PC 28m, Nina Khoury FG 60mGame Nine FINALS: NSW Arrows 1 DEF by VIC Vipers 5Goal Scorers: Georgina Morgan PC 4mIt was an outstanding effort to witness the NSW Arrows journey through to the Grand Final. The confidence amongst the teamwas high, with young defender, Georgina Morgan, scoring an early goal off a penalty corner, which gave NSW a tremendousboost and determination to hopefully secure a win. Unfortunately, this was shattered abruptly by an own goal, rattling NSW andallowing VIC to apply the pressure, who were able to score some quick, consecutive goals; they ended the first half, at 4-1.After the break the Victorian Vipers seized every opportunity, enabling the team to punish the Arrows with an early goal in thesecond half. Although disappointing to witness the Arrows lose their Grand Final fight, it was a wonderful spectacle filled withgreat comradery from both states.Coach, Anthony Thornton, and the Arrows management team, were pleased to see a relatively inexperienced and young teamimprove immensely throughout the tournament. As well as this, credit is to be given to the coaches and the strategies utilisedto provide another great AHL performance. 2012’s campaign also gave great opportunity to the younger players to learn anddevelop from those members who possess the knowledge and experience from competing for a significant period, as well asat an international level.We also congratulate Casey Eastham on being awarded Hockeyroos Player of the Year, 2011.17

NSW Waratahs ReportThe 2012 Australian Hockey League was competed for in Canberra over a two week period from the 16th to 27th of October.This year’s format was compressed due to the London Olympics and as an initiative to consolidate costs. Whilst the turffacilities were adequate, the tournament schedule did not allow for night matches, which would have encouraged a strongercrowd attendance, i.e. late afternoon/early evening matches.The Waratahs were a fresh faced squad with 9 new athletes making their debut. Bolstering this young talent were theexperienced hands of Simon Orchard, Keiren Govers and Matthew Butturini, fresh from the Kookaburras recent LondonOlympic campaign. Further experience was also found from Perth based athletes Duncan Pearce, Tristan White andJosh Miller. Whilst generally considered a young side, the mix of experience and youth was considered a good balancefor 2012 and for the years to come.Waratahs SquadNathan Ackroyd, Matthew Butturini, Matthew Dawson, Scott Garner, Kieran Govers, Matthew Johnson, Josh Miller,Luke Noblett, Flynn Ogilvie, Kurt Ogilvie, Simon Orchard, Duncan Pearce, Cody Tribe, Josh Walters, Matthew Wark,Josh White, Tristan White, Matthew Willis.18

Western Australia gave NSW the opportunity to defend their2011 Championship when they ran out 3-1 winners over the NSW Waratahs after leading 2-1 at half time. Coach Aaron Omanwas pleased with the efforts put in by his young side, however ultimately the lack of composure in scoring would prove thedifference in progressing to the final.The Waratahs were left to play off for 3rd place against the Victorian Vikings, in what would be one of the hardest foughtmatches of the 2012 AHL. Unfortunately, NSW’s inability to seize the moment in the attacking end of the field, following periodsof sustained pressure let them down and resulted in a Victorian victory (1-3) leaving NSW Waratahs to claim 4th place.At the conclusion of the tournament, NSW Waratahs Captain Simon Orchard was named Player of the AHL Series.The 2012 AHL campaign was a very positive step for a young Waratahs side, rebuilding after the changing of players, coachand management staff. Despite this, the standard of play by a number of debutants and experienced campaigners, wasimpressive and leaves a weight of expectation for the coming years. Whilst the Waratahs were disappointed with dropping theirtwo final matches and finishing 4th, it is felt that the team made good progress, both on and off the field, towards the goal ofwinning the AHL in the near future.19

Men’s MastersSub-Committee ReportNSW Men’s Master’s hockey had another very successful year. State Championships were held in over 35’s, 40’s, 45’s, 50’s and55’s. This year, we held an inaugural over 63’s competition in conjunction with the over 55’s to provide a tournament, in whichthe increasing number of older players can take part in. There were four teams in this tournament and the feedback was good.At the other end of the age groups, the over 35’s had an increased participation. It is important to encourage this age groupto keep the masters movement going. All associations are having difficulty filling the 40’s age group and the number of teamscompeting has declined each year. We need to work hard to reverse this trend.At the Australian Master’s Championships held in Hobart, we competed with thirteen teams. For the second year the over 35’swere a part of the championships, along with the over 70’s. Unfortunately we, for the first time, were only able to field two over40’s teams, however we did have three over 45 teams.Despite travelling a long distance, the quality of our teams was very good, and we returned with excellent results. We won sixgold medals in over 45 div one, over 55 div one, over 60’s, over 40 div two, over 45 div two and over 55 div two. We also wontwo silver medals in over 50 div two and the over 70’s. This means that more than half our teams made the final, and almosthalf the teams NSW entered won. It was a great result for any tournament, let alone an away tournament. The fitness levelamongst the players of all age groups was very good, and emphasises the health benefits of master’s hockey.There were also many NSW players selected to play for Australia next year in the trans-Tasman series in Auckland, and a tourof Japan for the older two age groups. Congratulations to these players.The large participation in all our tournaments is keeping players in the game. It is these players who administer hockey at alllevels and emphasises the importance of Master’s hockey to the sport. It is also adding to the recognition by the Governmentand the media, of the large number of participants and interested people in all levels of hockey.Looking to the future, NSW is to host the 2013 Nationals tournament. This will be held in Sydney, at Sydney Olympic Park,with a third pitch at Concord. Much planning has already occurred for this and it again should be an exciting, successfultournament. This is one of the largest sporting events that occur in this country with about 73 teams competing over a twoweek period. The economic benefit for the host’s economy is now, very significant. The tournament we will require a lot of workfrom both the organising committee and the entire NSW Master’s community to make it a success. It is a very exciting event tolook forward to.Andrew TerreyChair22

Women’s MastersSub-Committee Report2012 has been another successful year for NSW Women’s Masters. The Hockey NSW Women’s Masters State Championshipsare considered to be the largest hockey event to be held in Australia, and hosting associations expend a tremendous amountof time and energy to ensure the championships are successful and run in the true spirit of Women’s Masters: Participation,Friendship and Enjoyment.In 2012 the State Championships were held in late July in half-state format: at Wagga Wagga (South) and Manning Valley(North). In all, 131 teams participated (68 in the South and 63 in the North); we would like to give many thanks to bothassociations for, once again, providing such a great atmosphere for the annual event.Despite poor weather conditions at Taree, all teams were able to play their scheduled matches over the three days, with thedraw being revised to accommodate all matches on two turfs as the grass fields were unplayable. The shortened game format(15 minutes) saw some fast and exciting hockey played.In 2013, the format for the State Championships will again be half-state, with New England (North) and Parkes (South) hostingthe events.The Australian Women’s Masters Championships were held in Melbourne from 28th of September to 6th of October, with NSWteams entered in all six age groups (Over 35s through to Over 60s). At the conclusion of the Nationals, NSW was awarded theMeg Wilson Trophy for the best overall performance by a state, just edging out host state Victoria by one point.The Hockey NSW Women’s Masters Committee congratulates all members who achieved selection in State and National teamsand to all members who have assisted in making 2012 such a successful year.Joanna DolanChair23

HOCKEY NEW SOUTH WALES LIMITEDA.B.N. 12 104 263 381NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the year ended 30th September 2012The financial statements are for Hockey New South Wales Limited as an individual entity, incorporated and domiciled inAustralia. Hockey New South Wales Limited is a company limited by guarantee.NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESBasis of PreparationThe financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with applicableAustralian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial reportcontaining relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Materialaccounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistentlyapplied unless otherwise stated.The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, whereapplicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.Accounting Policies(a) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTEach class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair values as indicated, less, where applicable,accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.Property, plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment isreviewed by the directors annually, to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. Therecoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets'employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to present values indetermining recoverable amounts. The Australian Accounting Standards do not require not for profit entities such as thecompany to revalue their non-current assets to current market value, therefore these assets are recognised at their cost lessany adjustments for amortisation and/or depreciation.(b) DEPRECIATIONThe depreciable amount of all fixed assets including any buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land,is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the entity commencing from the time the asset is heldready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or theestimated useful lives of the improvements.The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are:-Class of Property, Plant & EquipmentDepreciation Rate Per AnnumLeasehold Improvements 17%Computer & Other Equipment 10% - 50%Office Fixtures & Fittings 8% - 40%Motor Vehicles 22%The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.Asset classes carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is(c) REPAIRS & MAINTENANCEMaintenance, repair costs and minor renewals are charged against income in the period in which they are incurred.(d) INCOME TAXNo provision has been made in respect of income tax as the company is deemed to be exempt from income tax underDivision 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.(e) ACCOUNTS PAYABLETrade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and servicesreceived by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liabilitywith the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.(f) COMPARATIVE AMOUNTSWhere required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentationfor the current financial year.(g) GOODS & SERVICES TAXRevenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is notrecoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost ofacquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position areshown inclusive of GST.Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing andfinancing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.(h) RECEIVABLESTrade receivables and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debts.8

HOCKEY NEW SOUTH WALES LIMITEDA.B.N. 12 104 263 381NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the year ended 30th September 2012NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESAccounting Policies(i) FINANCIAL ASSETSInitial recognition and measurementFinancial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to theinstrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either purchase or sell theasset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costsexcept where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed toprofit or loss immediately.Classification and subsequent measurementFinancial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate methodor cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, betweenknowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In othercircumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.Amortised cost is calculated as:i. the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;ii. less principal repayments;iii. plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and thematurity amount calculated using the effective interest method; andiv. less any reduction for impairment.The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and isequivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costsand other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term)of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected futurenet cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expensein profit or loss.(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or lossFinancial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are held for trading for the purpose of shorttermprofit taking, or where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoidan accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by keymanagement personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.(ii) Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in anactive market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 monthsafter the end of the reporting period, which will be classified as non-current assets.(iii) Available-for-sale financial assetsAvailable-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into othercategories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They compriseinvestments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to be disposed ofwithin 12 months after the end of the reporting period.(iv) Financial liabilitiesNon-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.Fair ValueFair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied todetermine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instrumentsand option pricing models.ImpairmentAt the end of each reporting period, the entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument hasbeen impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument isconsidered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement ofcomprehensive income.(v) Financial liabilitiesDerecognisingFinancial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred toanother party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associatedwith the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled orexpired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability, which is extinguished or transferred to anotherparty and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognisedin profit or loss.9

HOCKEY NEW SOUTH WALES LIMITEDA.B.N. 12 104 263 381NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the year ended 30th September 2012NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESAccounting Policies(j) EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTSProvision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end ofthe reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amountsexpected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at thepresent value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration isgiven to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. Those cashoutflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expectedtiming of cash flows. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged asexpenses when incurred.(k) CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTSCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investmentswith original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowingsin current liabilities on the statement of financial position.(l) REVENUEGrant revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the entity obtains control of the grant and it isprobable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow to the entity and the amount of the grant can bemeasured reliably. If conditions are attached to the grant which must be satisfied before it is eligible to receive thecontribution, the recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied.When grant revenue is received whereby the entity incurs an obligation to deliver economic value directly back to thecontributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the grant revenue is recognised in the state of financial positionas a liability until the service has been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt.Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rateinherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.(m) RELATED PARTIESThere have been no related party transactions entered into by the Company covering the period under review.(n) PROVISIONSProvisions are recognised when the entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it isprobable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions recognisedrepresent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.(o) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETSAt the end of each reporting period, the entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determinewhether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount ofthe asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carryingvalue. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensiveincome.Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset’s ability to generate net cashinflows and when the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use isdetermined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the recoverable amountof the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong.Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation surplus in respect of thesame class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for thatsame class of asset.(p) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTSThe directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledgeand best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based oncurrent trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.10
