2 2. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES Nil 3. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial Statements presented by John Dunning. Questions: David North: Questions about comparatives. Difficulty was that the 2015 and 2016 accounts were differently categorized. However, John Dunning created comparative accounts by reconstructing 2015 accounts to match line items. Numbers had not been placed on websites Next year the audited accounts should provide comparatives. Main differences were court hire due to loss of Board of Studies and the establishment of the canteen, and canteen income. David North said that the loss of $23, compared to net profit for 2015 of $ was questionable. He stated that the increase in fees from BNSW, if not passed on was a way to go out backwards. John Dunning observed that player fees had not been increased for many years, but that the fees were now being increased. Graeme Haney observed that the IBA wanted to make a profit and put it back into the company for the benefit of the members. David North observed that a negative figure was not acceptable. Cameron Paxton observed that other revenue streams were being explored to make up the loss of the Board of Studies.

3 4. PRESIDENTS REPORT AND COMMITTEE REPORTS Graeme Haney tabled the Annual Reports as presented. He highlighted that the Association was moving forward because of the massive efforts of a lot of people contributing, and acknowledged the support of the Board. and the fact that the Board members were stepping up and contributing. He acknowledged the staff also, and could not commend them highly enough given the work done. He observed that the Board was starting a committee structure, and particularly a grants committee. Was expecting the state government grant to come through notwithstanding the sitting member s resignation. The other committee was a stadium enhancements committee. Thanked Simon Makres, Eric Kivi and particularly Rod Young for their efforts on that. Thanked all volunteers from Coaches to Managers and those who put their hands up when we need them. Thanked those who worked on sponsors, including Darren O Brien. Questions: David North asked if the IBA was spending money. Graeme Haney said yes, due to the lighting upgrade, with savings of 60% using LED lighting. The upfront costs are an issue, so financing has been considered. Improvements are being matched by projected savings of expenses. David North asked whether better to obtain the grant first as, once the money is spent, and the lighting installed, a grant cannot be applied for. Graeme Haney explained that the IBA signing off on loan was because that Board was not prepared to wait for a grant decision first. Cameron Paxton observed that the lighting was presently not up to standard on safety and that new lighting would have environmental benefits. Further discussion around grants, loans, getting professional grant writers in, and responsible borrowing for improvements. BNSW application for grant also mentioned. Graeme Haney confident that the Board had made the right decision. Other reports discussed. Our Association performed well, winning two state championships. MOTION: That the reports be accepted.
