Financial data as at December 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
This charity has reported liabilities exceeding assets for two or more consecutive years. That pattern is common and structural for retirement villages (occupation-right-agreement bonds recorded as liabilities), iwi treaty-settlement vehicles (future-obligation accruals), and infrastructure trusts with Crown loan principal — it does not indicate financial distress, but our standard reserve-months scoring template does not apply. The charity's figures are shown above.
