Market overview
After a volatile month the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index closed up 0.6%. The index suffered from continued selling in the major banks which commenced in late April on news of potential regulatory tightening. Further monetary easing from the Reserve Bank of Australia, in the form of a 0.25% rate cut, did little to encourage sentiment as the market interpreted the RBA’s minutes as a sign the loosening cycle had perhaps come to an end. The market also responded to poor Australian Bureau of Statistics expenditure data, which showed Australia’s business investment is set to drop dramatically over the next two years. This contributed to a 3.3% decline in the Australian dollar over the month.
In other domestic news, the release of the 2015-16 federal budget saw the government’s deficit forecast revised up to $35.1 billion, more than double the estimate from 12 months ago. On the whole the budget was well received, particularly the tax cuts for small businesses along with a $20,000 tax deductible allowance for businesses earning less than $2 million in revenue per year, which spurred the retail sector.
Global equity markets were mixed this month. Importantly, US Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen commented the US economy was “well positioned” for continued growth and indicated it would take initial steps towards normalising monetary policy at some point this year.

Dividends
The Board has not declared an interim dividend for the half year to 31 December 2014. While the Board is committed to paying an increasing stream of fully franked dividends to shareholders, this is dependent on the Company having sufficient profit reserves and the payment being within prudent business practices. When a dividend is declared, it is usually paid on a six-monthly basis.
