RESULTS FOR ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET
The reporting period is the year ended 30 June 2014 with the previous corresponding period being the year ended 30 June 2013.
This report is based on audited financial statements. A copy of the audit report can be found on page 36.
Results for announcement to the market
-
Net Profit attributable to members was $6.3 million, down 17.2% from the previous corresponding period which included $1.1 million after tax from the takeover of Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund.
-
Net Operating Result after tax was $6.3 million, 3.5% down from the previous corresponding period.
-
Revenue from ordinary activities (excluding capital gains) was $7.7 million, up 5.2% from the previous corresponding period.
-
Net tangible assets at 30 June 2014 were 95 cents per share, up from 90 cents at the end of the previous corresponding period, in both cases before allowing for any final or special dividend.
-
No interim dividend was paid to shareholders in respect of the half year ended 31 December 2013.
-
AMCIL’s policy is to maximise the distribution of available franking credits. In accordance with this policy, a final dividend of 2.5 cents per share, fully-franked, plus a special dividend of 4.0 cents per share, also fully-franked, will be paid on 26 August 2014 to ordinary shareholders on the register on 14 August 2014. Last year’s final dividend was 3.0 cents plus a special dividend of 5.0 cents. Shares are expected to trade ex-dividend from 12 August 2014.
-
The entire 4 cent special dividend is sourced from capital gains, on which the Company will pay tax. The amount of the pre-tax attributable gain, known as an “LIC capital gain”, is therefore 5.7 cents. This enables some shareholders to claim a tax deduction in their tax return. Further details will be on the dividend statements.
-
The Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) is in operation for the final and special dividends, the price for which will be set at a 2.5% discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX and Chi-X automated trading systems over the five trading days after the shares trade ex-dividend. The last date for receipt of an election notice for participation in the plan is 15 August 2014. All shares issued under the DRP will rank equally with existing shares.
-
The 2014 AGM will be held at the RACV City Club, Melbourne, at 1.30 PM on Wednesday 8 October.

MEDIA RELEASE – FULL YEAR RESULT TO 30 JUNE 2014
AMCIL BENEFITS FROM BUOYANT MARKET
Profit
Profit for the year was $6.3 million, down on last year’s result of $7.6 million. Last year’s figure included $1.1 million after tax from the takeover of Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund. The Net Operating Result, which represents the income generated from the investment and trading portfolios, was also $6.3 million, marginally down from $6.5 million last year.
Dividend
The Company’s dividend policy is to maximise the distribution of available franking credits each year. Accordingly, AMCIL will pay a final dividend of 2.5 cents per share fully franked from operating earnings and a special dividend of 4 cents per share fully franked sourced from after-tax realised gains of $11.4 million. The total dividends for the year are 6.5 cents per share fully franked.
Performance
AMCIL’s portfolio delivered a return of 14.7% over the year whereas the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index return was 17.4%. AMCIL’s return is after expenses and tax on realised gains.
The generation of franking credits from the portfolio, including those generated from after-tax realised gains, is an important part of AMCIL’s strategy. Including the full value of franking credits, the 1 year return of the portfolio was 18.8% per annum compared to the Index return of 19.2% per annum on an equivalent basis.
The 10 year return of the portfolio to 30 June 2014, which reflects AMCIL’s medium to long term investment time frame, was 13.5% per annum whereas the Index return was 9.0% per annum. Including the franking benefit the 10 year portfolio return was 15.5% per annum compared to the Index return of 10.4% per annum (see attached performance table).
Portfolio
During the year the strong performance of some of the larger cap stocks in the portfolio meant the AMCIL portfolio had become more concentrated in these holdings. In general AMCIL seeks to have a portfolio where small companies by market size can have as significant an impact on portfolio returns as larger companies in the Australian market. To this end a number of adjustments were made.
Sales included ANZ Banking Group, Rio Tinto, National Australia Bank, Amcor and Woodside Petroleum.
New companies added to the portfolio throughout the year included Qube Holdings, Treasury Wine Estates, SAI Global, ResMed, TPG Telecom, Lifestyle Communities, Japara Healthcare and Transfield Services.
AMCIL held a relatively high level of cash over the year reflecting our view it has been generally more challenging to find compelling value at these market levels. Selective opportunities have been available in smaller companies, including some IPO’s such as Japara Healthcare and Beacon Lighting. We will continue to look at smaller companies where better value appears to be on offer.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . This financial report has been authorised for issue as per the Directors Declaration and is presented in the Australian currency. The Company has the power to amend and reissue the financial report.
The Company has attempted to improve the transparency of its reporting by adopting ‘plain English’ where possible. Key ‘plain English’ phrases and their equivalent AASB terminology are as follows:
| Phrase | AASB Terminology |
|---|---|
| Market Value | Fair Value for Actively Traded Securities |
| Cash | Cash & Cash Equivalents |
| Share Capital | Contributed Equity |
| Hybrids | Equity instruments that are not ordinary securities |
| Options | Derivatives written over equity instruments that are valued at |
| fair value through Profit & Loss |
Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Company comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Company is a ‘for profit’ entity.
The Company has not applied any Australian Accounting Standards or AASB interpretations that have been issued as at balance date but are not yet operative for the year ended 30 June 2014 (“the inoperative standards”) except for AASB 9 which was adopted on 7 December 2009. The impact of the inoperative standards has been assessed and the impact has been identified as not being material. The Company only intends to adopt inoperative standards at the date at which their adoption becomes mandatory.
a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared using the valuation methods described below for holdings of securities, including options. All other items have been treated in accordance with the historical cost convention.
b) Holdings of securities
(i) Balance sheet classification
The Company has three discrete portfolios of securities, the investment portfolio, the options written portfolio and the trading portfolio. The purchase and the sale of securities are accounted for at the date of trade.
The investment portfolio relates to holdings of securities which the Directors intend to retain on a long-term basis.
The options written portfolio contains exchange traded options contracts that are entered into as described in Note 11.
Securities within the investment portfolio (with the exception of puttable instruments) are classified as ‘financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income’, and are designated as such upon initial recognition, whereas puttable instruments and securities held
14
within the trading portfolio are classified as ‘mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9’.
The designation of securities within the investment portfolio as ‘financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income’ is consistent with the Directors’ view of these assets as being held for the long-term for both capital growth and for the provision to the Company of dividends and distribution income rather than to make a profit from the sale of such securities, which is the purpose of securities held within the trading portfolio. Puttable instruments are required to be classified at “fair value through profit or loss” although the Directors also view these assets as being held for the long-term for both capital growth and for the provision to the Company of distribution income and their being managed as part of the investment portfolio.
(ii) Valuation of investment portfolio
Securities, including listed and unlisted shares and hybrids, are initially brought to account at market value, which is the cost of acquisition, and are revalued to market values continuously or fair value using a variety of relevant methodologies if there is no active market. Increments and decrements on equity instruments are recognised as Other Comprehensive Income and taken to the Revaluation Reserve.
Where disposal of an investment occurs any revaluation increment or decrement relating to it is transferred from the Revaluation Reserve to Retained Profits or, once the brought-forward losses have been utilised, to the Realised Capital Gains Reserve.
Gains and losses on puttable instruments are recognised in profit or loss. However, they are subsequently transferred from Retained Earnings to the Revaluation Reserve.
(iii) Valuation of trading portfolio
Securities, including listed and unlisted shares and options, are initially brought to account at market value, which is the cost of acquisition, or proceeds in the case of options written, and are revalued to market values continuously.
Increments and decrements on the value of securities in the trading portfolio are taken to Profit or Loss through the Income Statement.
(iv) Valuation of options written portfolio
Options written are initially brought to account at the amount received upfront for entering into the contract (the premium) and subsequently revalued to current market value.
(v) Income from holdings of securities
Distributions relating to listed securities are recognised as income when those securities are quoted in the market on an ex-distribution basis and distributions relating to unlisted securities are recognised as income when received, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment, in which case the relevant portion is treated as proceeds from a sale. If the distributions are capital returns on ordinary shares the amount of the distribution is treated as an adjustment to the carrying value of the shares.
The gain or loss on options written is not recognised as a realised gain/loss until the option expires, is exercised or is closed out. All unrealised gains or losses which represent movements in the Market Value of the options are recognised through the Income Statement.
c) Taxation
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income adjusted by any unused tax losses and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities (excluding those
15
related to the unrealised gains or losses in the investment portfolio) are offset as all current and deferred taxes relate to the Australian Taxation Office and can legally be settled on a net basis.
A tax provision is made for the unrealised gain or loss on securities valued at fair value through the Income Statement – i.e. the trading portfolio, puttable instruments and the options written portfolio.
A provision has to be made for any taxes that could arise on disposal of securities in the investment portfolio, even though there is no intention to dispose of them. Where the Company disposes of such securities, tax is calculated according to the particular parcels allocated to the sale for tax purposes offset against any capital losses carried forward.
d) Cash flows
For the purpose of the cash flow statement, ‘cash’ includes cash and deposits held at call.
e) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and liabilities of the Company approximates their carrying value.
The fair value for assets that are actively traded on market is defined by AIFRS as ‘last bid price’.
f) Directors’ retirement allowances
The Company recognises as ‘amounts payable’ Directors’ retirement allowances that have been crystallised as at 31 December 2003. No further amounts have been, or will be, expensed as retirement allowances.
g) Rounding of amounts
The Company is of the kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order, to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.
h) Split between Revenue and Capital in Other Comprehensive Income
‘Capital’ relates to realised or unrealised gains (and the tax thereon) on securities within the Investment Portfolio and excludes income in the form of distributions and dividends which are recorded as ‘Revenue’. All other items, including expenses, are recorded as Net Operating Result, which is equivalent to ‘Revenue’.
i) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision-maker. The Board, through its sub-committees, has been identified as the chief operating decision-maker, as it is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
16
2. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial reports in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. This requires the Board and management to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies.
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. In accordance with AASB112 Income Taxes deferred tax liabilities have been recognised for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the unrealised gain in the Investment Portfolio at current tax rates.
As the Directors do not intend to dispose of the portfolio, this tax liability may not be crystallised at the amount disclosed in Note 12. In addition, the tax liability that arises on disposal of these securities may be impacted by changes in tax legislation relating to treatment of capital gains and the rate of taxation applicable to such gains at the time of disposal.
Apart from this, there are no key assumptions or sources of estimation uncertainty that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period.
3. Financial Reporting by segments
(a) Description of segments
The Board makes the strategic resource allocations for the Company. The Company has therefore determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board, which are used to make strategic decisions.
The Board is responsible for the Company’s entire portfolio of investments and considers the business to have a single operating segment. The Board’s asset allocation decisions are based on a single, integrated investment strategy, and the Company’s performance is evaluated on an overall basis.
The Company invests in equity securities and other instruments to provide shareholders with attractive investment returns through access to a steady stream of fully franked dividends and enhancement of capital invested.
(b) Segment information provided to the Board
The internal reporting provided to the Board for the Company’s assets, liabilities and performance is prepared on a consistent basis with the measurement and recognition principles of Australian Accounting Standards, except that net assets are reviewed both before and after the effects of capital gains tax on investments (as reported in the Company’s Net Tangible Asset announcements to the ASX).
The Board considers the Company’s Net Operating Result after tax to be a key measure of the Company’s performance. This amount excludes the impact of unrealised gains/losses on options and any gains or losses on the Company’s investment portfolio and reconciles to the Company’s profit before tax as follows:
17

In addition, the Investment Committee regularly reviews the net asset value per share both before and after provision for deferred tax on the unrealised gains in the Company’s long term investment portfolio. Deferred tax is calculated as set out in notes 1(c) and 2. The relevant amounts as at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 were as follows:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net tangible asset backing per share | cents | cents |

Cash holdings yielded an average floating interest rate of 3.4% (2013: 4.2%).
(a) Credit risk exposure
All cash investments not held in a transactional account are invested in short-term deposits with Australia’s “Big 4” commercial banks or their wholly-owned subsidiaries, all rated ‘AA-’ by S&P.
(b) Standby arrangements and credit facilities
The Company was party to agreements under which Commonwealth Bank of Australia had extended a cash advance facility.

| Commonwealth Bank of Australia –cash advance facility Amount drawn down Undrawn facilities |
2014 $’000 10,000 - 10,000 |
2013 $’000 10,000 - |
|---|---|---|

Repayment of facilities was done either through the use of cash received from distributions or the sale of securities, or by rolling existing facilities into new ones. Facilities where utilised would not usually be drawn down for more than three months.
7. Current assets – receivables

Receivables are non-interest bearing and unsecured. Outstanding settlements are on the terms
operating in the securities industry, which usually require settlement within three days of the date of a transaction.
8. Non-current assets – investment portfolio

For a detailed list of the fair value of the securities in the investment portfolio measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income, see Note 26.
9. Deferred tax assets
The Company’s net deferred tax assets (“DTA”) arise from temporary differences in the recognition of items for taxation and accounting purposes, as described in Note 1 c). The key components are:
| (a) Provisions and expenses charged to the accounting profit which are not yet tax deductible (b) Interest and dividend income receivable which is not assessable for tax until receipt Movements: Opening asset balance at 1 July Charged to Income statement |

152 (31) |
|---|---|---|
| 121 | ||
| 208 (87) |
||
| 121 |
Any deferred tax asset arising from provisions and expenses charged but not yet tax deductible will be obtained when the relevant items become tax deductible, provided that the Company derives
21
sufficient assessable income to enable the benefit from the deductions to be taken in that year and there are no intervening changes in tax legislation adversely affecting the Company’s ability to claim the tax deduction.
The portion of deferred tax liability likely to be reversed within the next 12 months is $43,000 (2013: $31,000). This relates primarily to items described in item (b) above.

11. Options written portfolio
The Company enters into option contracts in the options written portfolio for the purpose of enhancing returns via the premiums that it earns from the writing of these contracts. It is separate from both the trading portfolio and the investment portfolio, and the options are held as “liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss”. Where the Company sells a call option it is obligated to deliver securities at an agreed price if the taker exercises the option. Whereas if the Company sells a put option it is obligated to buy the underlying shares at an agreed price if the taker exercises the option. Exchange Traded Options are valued at a theoretical price using observable market data which is obtained via an independent third-party data provider.
As at balance date, there were no call options outstanding (2013: $nil potential exposure). There was no option income for the year (2013 : $Nil).
The total option exposure position is determined daily. The Investment Committee meets regularly (normally fortnightly) to consider, review and approve the transactions of the Company and related matters. $3.6 million of shares are lodged with ASX Clear Pty Ltd as collateral for sold option positions written by the Company (2013: $2.9 million). These shares are lodged with ASX Clear under the terms of ASX Clear Pty Ltd which require participants in the Exchange Traded Option market to lodge collateral, and are recorded as part of the Company’s investment and trading portfolios.

-
ii. During the year ended 30 June 2014, the Company reinstated its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP). Pricing of the new DRP shares was based on the average selling price of shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange in the five days from the day the shares begin trading on an ex-dividend basis, less any discount determined by the Directors.
-
iii. During the year ended 30 June 2014 the Company announced a Share Purchase Plan (SPP). The SPP issue price was set at the dividend reinvestment plan price for the 2013 final and special dividend or a 5% discount to the volume-weighted average price of AMCIL shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) over the 5 trading days up to, and including, the day on which the SPP offer was scheduled to close, whichever was the lower.
14. Capital Management
The Company’s objectives in managing capital is to continue to provide shareholders with attractive investment returns through access to a steady stream of fully-franked dividends and enhancement of capital invested, with goals of paying dividends which utilise the Company’s available franking credits and providing attractive total returns over the medium to long term.
The Company recognises that its capital will fluctuate in accordance with market conditions, and may adjust the amount of dividends paid, issue new shares from time to time or buy-back its own shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Company’s capital consists of its shareholders equity plus any net borrowings. The change in
23
this capital is as noted in notes 13, 15, 16 and 17.

18. Financial Instruments
(a) Financial Risk Management
Accounting Standards identify three types of risk associated with financial instruments (i.e. the Company’s investments, receivables, payables and borrowings):
Credit risk
The standard defines this as the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.
Credit risk is managed as set out below with respect to cash, receivables, securities in the trading portfolio and securities in the investment portfolio respectively. None of these assets are overdue.
Cash & Cash Equivalents
All cash investments not held in a transactional account are invested in short-term deposits with Australia’s “Big 4” commercial banks or their wholly-owned subsidiaries. The credit risk exposure of the Company in relation to cash and deposits is the carrying amount and any accrued unpaid interest.
Receivables
Receivables are non-interest bearing and unsecured. Outstanding settlements are on the terms operating in the securities industry, which usually require settlement within three days of the date of a transaction.
The credit risk exposure of the Company in relation to receivables is the carrying amount.
Trading & Investment Portfolios
Credit risk exposures of the Company arise in relation to converting and convertible notes and other interest-bearing securities that are not equity securities (currently none in the portfolio) to the extent of their carrying values, in the event of a shortfall on winding-up of the issuing companies.
Credit risk exposure also arises in relation to options bought by the Company, if any, to the extent of their carrying value.
Liquidity risk
The standard defines this as the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.
The Company monitors its cash-flow requirements daily. Furthermore, the Investment Committee monitors the level of contingent payments on a (normally) fortnightly basis by reference to known sales and purchases of securities, dividends and distributions to be paid or received, put options that may require the Company to purchase securities and facilities that need to be repaid. The Company ensures that it has either cash or access to short-term borrowing facilities sufficient to meet these contingent payments.
The Company currently has no borrowings, but even if it were to fully utilise its debt facilities, the relatively low level of gearing would ensure that covenant levels associated with facilities are very unlikely to be breached. In the unlikely event that a fall in the value of the stock market is such that a breach would appear possible, the Company would amend its cash-flows through the sale of securities and the cessation of purchases to ensure that any short-term debt is extinguished.
25
The Company’s inward operating cash-flows depend upon the level of distributions received. Should these drop by a material amount, the Company would amend its outward cash-flows accordingly. As the Company’s major cash outflows are the purchase of securities and dividends paid to shareholders, the level of both of these is manageable by the Board and management. Furthermore, the assets of the Company are largely in the form of readily tradeable securities which can be sold on-market if necessary. The current financial liabilities are shown in Notes 6 b) & 11. The table below analyses the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is not significant.
| 30 June 2014 Non-derivatives Payables 30 June 2013 Non-derivatives Payables Market risk |
Less than 6 months 6-12 months Greater than 1 year Total contractual cash flows Carrying Amount $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 359 - - 359 359 |
|---|---|
| 359 - - 359 359 |
|
| 520 - - 520 520 |
|
| 520 - - 520 520 |
|
The standard defines this as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.
By its nature as a Listed Investment Company that invests in tradeable securities, the Company can never be free of market risk as it invests its capital in securities which are not risk free – the market price of these securities will fluctuate.
A general fall in market prices of 5% and 10%, if spread equally over all assets in the investment portfolio would lead to a reduction in the Company’s other comprehensive income of $7.0 million and $14.0 million respectively, at a tax rate of 30% (2013 : $6.0 million & $12.0 million). The Revaluation Reserve at 30 June 2014 was $28.3 million (2013 : $21.4 million). It would require a fall in the value of the Investment Portfolio of 20.2% after tax to fully deplete this (2013 : 17.8%).
The Company seeks to reduce market risk at the investment portfolio level by ensuring that it is not, in the opinion of the Investment Committee, overly exposed to one company or one particular sector of the market. The relative weightings of the individual securities and the relevant market sectors are reviewed by the Investment Committee, normally fortnightly, and risk can be managed by reducing exposure where necessary. The Company does not have set parameters as to a minimum or maximum amount of the portfolio that can be invested in a single company or sector.
26
The Company’s investment by sector is as below:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 14.00% | 15.16% |
| Materials | 12.66% | 15.29% |
| Industrials | 17.29% | 14.79% |
| Consumer Discretionary | 2.58% | 2.89% |
| Consumer Staples | 6.50% | 7.34% |
| Banks | 15.44% | 16.72% |
| Other financials | 10.11% | 8.98% |
| Telecommunications | 6.34% | 4.43% |
| Other – Healthcare, IT, Utilities | 5.99% | 4.26% |
| Cash | 9.09% | 10.14% |
Securities representing over 5% of the investment portfolio at 30 June 2014 were :
| 2014 | |
|---|---|
| Oil Search | 8.90% |
| Commonwealth Bank | 7.48% |
| BHP Billiton | 7.31% |
| Westpac Bank | 5.42% |
At 30 June 2013 securities representing over 5% of the combined investment and trading portfolio were :
| were : | |
|---|---|
| 2013 | |
| Oil Search | 7.98% |
| BHP Billiton | 6.24% |
| Brambles | 5.78% |
| National Australia Bank | 5.46% |
No other security represents over 5% of the Company’s investment and trading portfolios.
The Company is not currently materially exposed to interest rate risk as all its cash investments are short-term for a fixed interest rate.
The Company is also not directly exposed to currency risk as all its investments are quoted in Australian dollars.
The writing of call options provides some protection against a fall in market prices as it generates income to partially compensate for a fall in capital values. Options are only written against securities that are held in the trading or investment portfolio.
(b) Fair Value measurements
Accounting standards require the disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
-
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);
-
(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and
27
- (c) inputs for the asset or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

|
| 171,955 149 - 172,104 |
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. These instruments are included in level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (e.g. over the counter derivatives or unlisted securities) is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses a variety of valuation methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. These instruments are included in level 2 and comprise call and put options written by the Company (when written) and the Company’s investment in Hexima. In the circumstances where a valuation technique for these instruments is
28
based on significant unobservable inputs, such instruments are included in level 3 (currently none).
(c) Numerical disclosures – Investment Portfolio
The fair value of each investment held at fair value through other comprehensive income (investment portfolio) is disclosed in note 26.
Dividend and distribution income for the period on those investments held at period end was $5.6 million (2013 : $5.0 million), and dividend and distribution income for those investments sold during the period was $1.3 million (2013 : $1.7 million).
Certain securities within the investment portfolio were disposed of during the period, whether during the normal course of the Company’s activities as a Listed Investment Company or as the result of take-overs or acquisitions. The fair value of the investments sold during this period was $53.0 million (2013 : $54.4 million). The cumulative gain on these disposals was $11.4 million for the period after tax (2013 : $11.5 million), which has been transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained profits and realised gains (refer to Statement of Changes in Equity). No puttable instruments were also sold during the period (2013 : $12.3 million).
The Company has one class of investments in the investment portfolio - assets defined under AASB 9 as ‘equity investments’, the fair value of which is valued through other comprehensive income and at 30 June 2014 was $200.2 million (30 June 2013 $172.1 million).

| These franking account balances would allow the Company to frank | ||
| additional dividend payments up to an amount of: | 1,099 | 1,190 |
| The Company’s ability to continue to pay franked dividends is dependent | upon the receipt of | |
| franked dividends from the trading and investment portfolios and the Company paying tax. | ||
| (c) Dividends declared after balance date | $’000 | |
| Since the end of the year Directors have declared a final dividend of | ||
| 2.5 cents and a special dividend of 4 cent per share, both fully | ||
| franked at 30%. The aggregate amount of the final dividend for the | ||
| year to 30 June 2014 to be paid on 26 August 2014, but not | ||
| recognised as a liability at the end of the financial year | 14,825 | |

| This would equate to an attributable amount of | 14,733 | 16,840 |
Distributed LIC capital gains may entitle certain shareholders to a special deduction in their taxation return, as set out in the dividend statement. LIC capital gains available for distribution are dependent upon the disposal of investment portfolio holdings which qualify for LIC capital gains or the receipt of LIC distributions from LIC securities held in the portfolios. $9.1 million of the capital gain ($13.0 million of the attributable amount) will be paid out as a special dividend on 26 August 2014.

The Company's Audit Committee oversees the relationship with the Company’s External Auditors. The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the audit and the proposed fee. It also reviews the cost and scope of other audit related tax compliance services provided by the audit firm to ensure they do not compromise independence. Other non-audit services would not normally be provided by the external audit firm. However, if for special reasons such services were to be proposed, the Audit Committee would review the proposal to also ensure they did not affect the independence of the external audit function. The Company also conforms to legal requirements regarding audit partner rotation every 5 years.
