MS GALLAGHER: As required under section 19 of the Territory-owned Corporations Act 1990, I hereby present a 2008-09 statement of corporate intent for Rhodium Asset Solutions. This initial statement reflects Rhodium continuing to trade as normal throughout 2008-09 as it was prepared immediately following the government announcement that the proposed sale of the company would not go ahead.
However, in submitting the statement of corporate intent to the voting shareholders, Rhodium foreshadowed that a revised statement of corporate intent would be provided as more information became available about the decision to wind the company down. You may recall that on 10 February 2009 this Assembly passed a resolution agreeing to dispose of Rhodium’s main undertaking. I therefore expect Rhodium will soon be submitting a revised statement of corporate intent to the voting shareholders.
As soon as the board has finalised Rhodium’s modified statement of corporate intent, it will also be tabled in the Assembly as required under section 21 of the Territory-owned Corporations Act. In the meantime, I commend Rhodium’s initial 2008-09 statement of corporate intent to the Assembly whilst noting that it contains limited financial information.
