it is appropriate that we appraise performance for the year as a whole and outline the
goals of management for the future,.
Official figures from the audit report will be available in approximately sixty days
in time for presentation by the auditor at the next Board meeting,,   We shall review certain financial figures now, but the prime target of this report will be problems^ programs
and goals not usually contemplated as part of the audit report.
UCA*s management has a two-fold duty: To exploit and capitalize upon strong factors in the system and to correct operating weaknesses, converting them into strengths,.
Clear recognition of strength and weakness is vital to this procedure.   Realistic
