Since last winter, apart from our usual monitoring<br />
and Board responsibilities, the Entity Directors have<br />
been fully involved, in conjunction with the <strong>Apata</strong><br />
Directors and Management, in the external review<br />
conducted after the fruit loss situation which<br />
culminated last season.<br />
The Entity Board has been fully informed of<br />
developments and is satisfied that the necessary<br />
steps and controls have been put in place to once<br />
again see <strong>Apata</strong> packed fruit perform well against<br />
the industry as we have done in the past. An audit<br />
committee made up of Entity Directors and <strong>Apata</strong><br />
Board Directors along with Graeme Munro, who<br />
wrote the external review, are regularly monitoring<br />
the key points that were identified are being<br />
adhered to.<br />
It is pleasing to advise that to-date there have<br />
been no major concerns reported. As we move<br />
into main pack it is critical that all parts of the chain<br />
move in a controlled manner, and that is back to<br />
the Growers picking in an orderly way, so that the<br />
curing, packing and cooling of the fruit is controlled<br />
throughout to achieve the result we all want.<br />
Recently the Entity Board reluctantly accepted the<br />
resignation of Kelvin Reynolds who had been a<br />
valued Director for several years. We wish Kelvin<br />
well. The Entity Board has appointed Dave Farr, who<br />
was the unsuccessful candidate at our last Entity<br />
Board elections, as a Director to fill the vacancy<br />
created with Kelvin’s resignation, until the next Entity<br />
AGM which will be in September 2012.<br />
