MARKET OUTLOOK

After a strong start to November the Australian share market trended lower during the month as concerns about the European sovereign debt crisis dominated investors thinking around the globe. The benchmark S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation index finished November down 0.7 per cent. Most of the selling pressure was centred upon the banking sector with the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Accumulation Index dropping 2.45 per cent while the S&P/ASX 300 Resources Accumulation Index rose 1.31 per cent. This overall decline though seems to be short lived with the market powering out of the blocks in the first half of December.

MARKET OUTLOOK (CONTINUED)

We would expect the market to head higher for the finish of the calendar year. The impetus for the rise though is more likely to come from the much maligned financial and industrial sectors rather than the well performed resources sector. The balance of world growth is likely to change in the coming 6 to 12 months with the US economy showing early signs of growth after a prolonged downturn. This should see the overall market move higher in the coming period. Contrastingly, China, the engine room for world growth during 2010, is facing rising inflation which will see the Government lifting interest rates in a bid to temper growth.

This should see the staggering rise of commodity prices ease in the coming months. While this change in fortunes is not good for the Australian economy, it will happen gradually. It should also mean that our share market will be dragged higher by the US market, which is still the biggest influence on domestic share prices. The concerns about Sovereign debt in Europe, while important, is unlikely to derail share prices so long as the economic recovery is the US continues.

DIVIDENDS

On 24 September 2010 the company paid a final dividend of 3.0 cents per share fully franked. This brings the full year FY2010 dividend to 6.0 cents per share fully franked. In line with our dividend policy and in the current environment the Board is anticipating an increase in dividends for this year.

The Board is committed to paying an increasing stream of fully franked dividends to shareholders provided the company has sufficient franking credits, and it is within prudent business practices. Dividends are paid on a six-monthly basis. Recently introduced government legislation now enables companies to pay dividends if the company is deemed solvent. Dividend payments will not be reliant on reported profit and retained earnings as it was previously. Rather it will be with consideration to cash flow, cash holdings and available franking credits.

OPTION ISSUE

On 8 February 2010 the Board announced a 1 for 1 option issue for its shareholders. The options, which trade on the Australian Securities Exchange, have an exercise price of $1.15 per option and can be exercised any time up until the expiry date of 30 April 2011.

The reason behind the option issue is the Board’s vision to grow the market capitalisation of WAM Active to $100m over the next 5 years and to continue to generate strong results.
