2 Funding the NZTA provides to approved organisations for the delivery of services, and funding the NZTA receives for the improvement and maintenance of the state highway network.
3 Funding provided by the Crown for specific activities, which are either delivered by the NZTA or the NZTA allocates funding for the activity.

• Total income received was less than budgeted, mainly due to the deferral of $250 million of NLTF revenue to 2009/10 as it was deemed surplus to requirements for the current year and therefore left in the NLTF.
• NLTP expenditure was $99.4 million below budget because more costs were capitalised.
