I acknowledge with thanks receipt of the letter dated 18 October 2005 from the Acting Speaker, Mr G Doidge.

Inala Farming (Pty) Ltd (Operations Company) is currently undergoing liquidation, and as such is involved in the court proceedings connected therewith. It Is for this reason that Inala Farms (Pty) Ltd (Property Company) has not tabled their Annual Report in Parliament.

It is not clear at this stage when the liquidation process will be finalised.

Kind regards
