The favourable variance in income against budget was due
to greater than expected grants, donations and sponsorship
($3.8m), investment revenue and gains ($0.9) and user charges
($0.4m), while the favourable variance in expenditure against
budget was mainly due to savings in exhibition and public
programming, and general supplies and services. The increase
in the asset revaluation surplus arose from the revaluation of
the Collection.
