MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Directors FROM: CEO SUBJECT: Performance Report (Q1 to Q12)
The Box Inc. was established eleven quarters ago to bring a high quality product to the marketplace, filing a void for boxes made out of 100% recycled material. From the outset the aim of the organization was to maximize shareholder wealth and mould the company into a leading manufacturer of packaging material. Having been selected to lead that task, I was honored at the confidence placed in me to guide this new and energetic organization into the competitive world of business. As with all business ventures there are challenges along the way, and we at the Box Inc. had ours to face, namely a machinery fire in Quarter 5 (Q5) and industrial (strike) action in Q7. Both of these scenarios provided minor setbacks but the management team at the Box Inc. did not lose a beat, ensuring that any disruption faced had minimal effect on the organization. The results of these events also placed a toll on our financial performance and a reevaluation of the financial strategy had to be implemented. At the end of Quarter 12, I am pleased to report to the Board of Directors that the Box Inc. has met all of the challenges which came its way and was able to keep the organization in a positive growth level, while maintaining shareholder wealth at a respectable value. It was a pleasure to serve this board during the last twelve quarters and I look forward to the next twelve quarters and the exciting path that lies ahead for this organization.
Sincerely,
Lauriston Streekes
Chief Executive Officer
