Market Outlook

The conclusion to the financial year was eventful with the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index bouncing back late in the month to only finish down 2.4% for the month after being down more almost 6% at one stage. Deteriorating macroeconomic data from the US and in particular Europe was the focus for investors during the month. A resolution from the Greek government towards the end of the month drove the market higher as confidence returned. Commodity prices continued their weakness as further questions are being asked about Chinese growth off the back of significant monetary tightening over the last 6 months.

Market Outlook (continued)

At the time of writing another interest rate increase has been announced in China. We expect the economic data from China will continue to show weakness over the next 6 months and in turn see commodity prices trade lower.

In Australia, Analysts have commenced adjusting earnings expectations downwards for the new financial year. We expect this to continue during the corporate reporting season in August. Focus points over the upcoming months will be how reporting season and results look along with further clarity from the Reserve Bank on the future direction of interest rates in Australia. The RBA have softened their tone recently, however given the nature of the two speed economy in Australia we see further rate increases placing our economy in a precarious position. As such we remain cautions and will continue to look for individual stock opportunities.

Dividends

On 31 March 2011 the company paid an interim dividend of 4.0 cents per share fully franked. This is a 33% increase on the interim dividend from the previous 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. Government legislation introduced in June 2010 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.
