3.2. Out-of-session Decisions/Proposals

21 February 2020 - Financial resolutions as follows:

1. That the co-operative is, and was during the 2018-2019 financial year, a small co-operative as defined in the Co-operatives National Regulations.
(we are required to confirm this, as only "small co-ops" are exempt from formal audit of financial reports)
2. That the financial report presents fairly the entities financial position as at 30 June 2019 and its performance for the year ended on that date in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
(this is what the two directors who sign the financial report are confirming the board has resolved)
3.That there are reasonable grounds to believe the co-operative will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
(this is what the two directors who sign the financial report are confirming the board has resolved, as Tom says, based on current financial position, not the FY18-19 report)
4. That the 2018-2019 financial report is approved for distribution to members of the co-operative.
