Successes and Failures:
The activities of period under review have given a ‘substantial boost’ to Vars Academia Limited which, in turn, has made her to succeed in terms of understanding the business environment better, making some money, assessing the our clientele better and establishing continuous self-evaluation towards seamless and perfect deliverables, concomitant with aims, objectives and values of Vars. However, due to a harsh business environment in the year 2019 and inconsistences in paying for services and for debts by some clients, Vars failed to recruit staff, to purchase additional utilities, to implement outstanding company projects and to improve on its physical administrative facilities and fixtures. It is hoped that this failure will be addressed in the coming year.

Recess:
It was agreed that Vars Academia be on Christmas holiday recess from Friday, 20th December 2019 until Monday, 6th January, 2020, when staff would report for duty.
