(a) 1999 - $1.193 million

(b) 2000 - $1.393 million

(c) 2001 - $1.843 million

Explanatory Note: The irregular surplus (profit) returned from Floriade is due to the reduction and then abolition of entry fees and the fluctuation in sponsorships for the years 1999-2001.

To compensate for the reduction in the entry fee for 2000 and the abolition of the entry fee in 2001 the Government increased the funding for Floriade by $200,000 in 2000 and $650,000 in 2001.
