PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activities of the group during the course of the period were property valuation services and property funds management. The property funds management business was disposed of on 4 August 2011.
There were no other significant changes in the nature of the activities of the group during the period.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The net profit after income tax attributable to equity holders of the company for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 amounted to $184k (2010: profit $73k), representing an increase of 152% from the corresponding period. Revenue from continuing operations for the half-year ended 31 December 2011 totalled $10,528k (2010:$ 11,393k), which represents a 7.6% decrease from the previous corresponding half year period. Revenues continued to be impacted by the soft property market along with the loss of some senior personnel. On the other hand Profit before Tax from continuing operations of $392k increased by 48.5% compared to the corresponding result last year of $264k. Better cost control and lower debtor provisioning contributed to the improved result. Cost reduction initiatives included reduction of administrative staff, reduction by two in the size of the company's Board, renegotiation of communications contracts, movement of the Gold Coast office to lower cost premises and sale of the loss making funds management business. IT costs are higher in 2011-12 than they will be in future years. We are currently in the process of installing new industry specific valuation software to replace two less efficient software packages. This will assist both in giving LandMark White a competive advantage in communicating with banking valuation
software as well as reducing ongoing IT costs. The second half of the financial year is historically stronger than the first half. Subject to no significant further deterioration in the economy and property market, we anticipate an improved result from that achieved in 2010-11.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
There have been no subsequent events since 31 December 2011 which have materially affected the company performance or financial position.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LANDMARK WHITE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of LandMark White Limited, which comprises the consolidated condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income, consolidated condensed statement of changes in equity and consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the company and the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
As the auditor of LandMark White Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
