Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
