While there very well may be more issues that deserve managerial attention the focus of your report is going to be based on supporting only the one issue you identified.
6. Identify all of the relevant facts from your appendix that led you to conclude that the issue you identified deserves managerial attention. List these facts in this section by including the relevant reference from your appendix. You only have to use the numbered heading like (1.1).
