An increase in other revenue by $1.684m is primarily due to the Library obtaining higher than forecast grants and donations in the 2019-20 financial year from its Treasured Voices campaign and one off transition impacts of AASB 15 / AASB 1058. Receipt of donations are not known when setting the budget.

A net decrease in other comprehensive income of $7.532m is primarily due to a valuation increase on property, plant and equipment of $6.719m and a valuation decrease on the Library's collection assets of $14.251m.

In June 2019 a term deposit of $10.214m at 30 June had a less than 90 day maturity and was considered cash and cash equivalents. The decrease of cash and cash equivalents of $3.139m is primarily due to all term deposits being 90 days or more as at 30 June 2020 and therefore classified as investments.

An increase of investment balance of $17.979m is primarily due to lower than expected cash outflows throughout 2019-20, particularly for asset purchases, and classification of a short term deposit of $10.214m as cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2019 (now classified as investments).

An increase in finance liabilities of $1.251m is due to the application of AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2020 not budgeted for.

An increase in provisions of $0.981m is primarily due to a significant reduction in Government bond rates since the budget, which increases employee provisions.

A decrease of suppliers, grants and other payables of $0.381m is due to a high number of invoices paid prior to the end of June 2020 compared to that budgeted.

An increase of sales of goods and services revenue of $0.818m is primarily due to timing differences for receipts and net GST received of $1.507m not budgeted for in the 2019-20 PBS.

An increase in other revenue by $1.937m is primarily due to the Library obtaining higher than forecast grants and donations in the 2019-20 financial year from its Treasured Voices campaign. Receipt of donations is not known when setting the budget.

An increase in cash used for suppliers of $3.248m is due to an increase in digitisation contracts, expenditure on donations and grants throughout the year.

An increase in the cash received and cash used for investments is primarily due to the original budget reflecting the net cash received from investments rather than gross inflows and outflows. The gross inflows and outflows reflects the short term investments made by NLA to maximise returns for its investment.

A decrease in the cash used for the purchase of property plant and equipment of $10.573m is primarily due to delayed expenditure on major capital works and a lower than forecast expenditure on collection acquisitions in 2019-20. This increase was partially offset by a $1.384m increase in intangible assets from higher than forecast expenditure on digitisation of collection items and major IT projects.
