	PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS	STATUS		COMMENT
1.5	A listed entity should: a) Have a diversity policy which includes requirements for the board or a relevant committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving them; b) Disclose that policy or a summary of it; and c) Disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board or a relevant committee of the board in accordance with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards achieving them, and either: 1) The respective proportions of men and women on the board, in senior executive positions and across the whole organisation (including how the entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or 2) If the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in and published under that Act	Part- Complying		The Company’s Diversity Policy, a summary of which is available on the Company’s website, recognises the benefits arising from employee and Board diversity, including a broader pool of high quality employees, improving employee retention, accessing different perspectives and ideas and benefiting from all available talent. Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Board and its Nomination Committee is responsible for developing measurable objectives and strategies to meet the Objectives of the Diversity Policy (Measurable Objectives) and monitoring the progress of the Measurable Objectives through monitoring, evaluation and reporting mechanisms listed below. The Board may also set Measurable Objectives for achieving gender diversity and monitoring their achievement. The Board will conduct all Board appointment processes in a manner that promotes gender diversity, including establishing a structured approach for identifying a pool of candidates, using external experts where necessary. Due to the scale of the Company’s operations and the limited number of employees, the Company has not yet set Measurable Objectives for achieving gender diversity. The Company will consider establishing measurable objectives as it develops. As at 30 June 2018, the gender mix of the Company was as follows: Male Female Board 100% 0% Management 100% 0% Group 70% 30%
1.6	A listed entity should: a) Have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors; and b) Disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process.	Part- Complying		The Company’s Chair, Board and its Nomination Committee are responsible for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual Directors on an annual basis. It may do so with the aid of an independent advisor. The Company’s Board Performance Review does not require the Company to disclose whether or not performance evaluations were conducted during the relevant reporting period. Whilst the Company has a written policy, the Board recognises that as a result of the Company’s size and the stage of the entity’s life, the assessment of the directors’ overall performance and its own succession plan is conducted on an informal basis. The Directors consider that at the date of this report an appropriate and adequate process for the evaluation of Directors is in place.
