Explanation of Revenue (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

Total revenue from continuing operations for the year ended 30 June 2009 is $1,500.3 million representing a decrease of 4.5% over the last corresponding period. The decrease in revenue was largely due to weaker equity markets resulting in less activity, and falling interest rates and balances reducing margin income.

Explanation of Profit/(loss) from ordinary activities after tax (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

The current year EBITDA result is $443.9 million including significant item expense of $31.6 million. Net profit after tax is $255.7 million, including significant item expense of $33.8 million (refer note 3), a decrease of 9.3% from the prior year. The decrease is primarily driven by lower transaction volumes; lower margin income, one off asset write downs and a strong US dollar, partially offset by cost reduction initiatives.

The Group’s effective tax rate has increased from 26.0% for the year ended 30 June 2008 to 27.8% in the current financial year.

e) Tax consolidation

Computershare Limited and its wholly-owned Australian entities implemented the tax consolidation regime with effect from 1 July 2002. The Australian Taxation Office has been formally notified of this decision.

The relevant entities have also entered into a tax sharing agreement. As a consequence, Computershare Limited, as the head entity in the tax consolidation Group, has recognised the current tax liability relating to transactions, events and balances of the wholly owned Australian subsidiaries in this Group in the financial statements as if that liability was its own, in addition to recognising the current tax liability arising in relation to its own transactions, events and balances. Amounts receivable or payable under the tax sharing agreement are recognised separately as tax related intercompany payables or receivables.

COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES SUPPLEMENTARY APPENDIX 4E INFORMATION

The Directors and Management have determined that the exclusion of certain items permits a more appropriate and meaningful analysis of the Company’s underlying performance on a comparative basis. Internally, the organisation focuses on the adjusted financial outcomes known as Management Adjusted Results. The above net profit used in the Management EPS calculation reflects the Management Adjusted Results.

On 30 January 2009, 166,667 employee options were issued. These options are exercisable between 30 January 2012 and 29 January 2015 with an exercise price of AU $7.54. No employee options have been issued since year end.

No performance rights were issued during the year. The change in the number of performance rights included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share is due to forfeiture of a number of performance rights during the year and a number of performance rights previously issued now being considered dilutive.

10 SHARE BUYBACK (Appendix 4E item 14.2)

The company had no on-market buy back in operation during the year ended 30 June 2009.
