Investment & Management Team

US equity markets continued to perform well in November, with the S&P/500 up 2.5% for the month, buoyed by a better than expected earnings season. In Europe, inflation fell to five-year lows renewing calls for the European Central Bank to expand its asset buying program.

We continue to be cautious in our short term view of Australia’s equity market. The AGM season provided mixed news flow and recent GDP data has also suggested that Australia is in a technical income recession, with quarterly growth struggling to outpace core inflation. Our investment portfolio continues to be conservatively positioned through above average cash holdings. We are well positioned to ride through the fluctuations in the market as we have done in past cycles and take advantage of any market dislocation.

Dividends

==> picture [142 x 105] intentionally omitted <==

The Board is committed to paying an increasing stream of fully franked dividends to shareholders, provided the Company has sufficient profit reserves and franking credits, and it is within prudent business practices. The Company’s ability to generate franking credits is dependent upon the receipt of franked dividends from investments and the payment of tax. Dividends are paid on a six-monthly basis and the dividend reinvestment plan is available to shareholders for both the interim and final dividend.

The estimated profit reserve as at 30 November 2014 is 1.8 cents per share and the franking account has a deficit of $405,955.

On 24 October 2014, the Company paid a fully franked final dividend of 4.8 cents per share. This brings the FY14 full year fully franked dividend to 9.6 cents per share.
