For Personal Use Only AUSTRALIAN LEADERS FUND LIMITED A.B.N. 64 106 845 970 AUSTRALIAN LEADERS FUND LIMITED (ALF) – January 2012 INVESTMENT UPDATE & NTA As at 31st January 2012 NTA before tax on unrealised gains $1.2571 NTA after Tax $1.2335 MONTH IN REVIEW Improving housing and payrolls data out of the US in addition to easing concerns of a hard landing in China have helped to shift investor focus away from the European debt crisis. Domestically the Reserve Bank of Australia left interest rates unchanged which was seen as a negative for the struggling private sector. Despite a considerable cash-weighting, the Fund recorded a 5.1% return in January, marginally underperforming the All Ords which advanced by 5.2%. Key contributors to the fund included Ainsworth Game Technology, which continues to increase its domestic ship-share of slot machines and is receiving excellent support from customers in NSW and Victoria. Leighton Holdings, which is also a sizable position in the Fund, rallied hard in January as two loss making contracts came to a close. Mayne Pharma Group detracted from the Fund’s performance as issues in the US regarding generic entry and patent validity for the Doryx 150mg formulation weighed on the share price. The Courts decision regarding patent validity is expected in March. While there are clear risks with Doryx, we suspect this is largely priced in and we are encourage d by recent new management appointments at Mayne BUYBACK The board is focused on maximising returns to shareholders and this will from time to time involve active capital management. The board views the on market share buyback as being in line with this aim as it will add value to the remaining shares on issue and increase the NTA per share. A share buyback for up to 6,461,392 shares or approximately 10% of issued capital commenced on 15 th March 2011 for a 12 month duration. As at close of market on 13th February 2012 1,649,149 shares had been bought back.

  • Trade Me Limited and Propertynz Limited
    ISBN 978-1-869458-89-8 Statement of Issues Public version Trade Me/PropertyNZ 23 April 2021 Introduction 1. On 18 February 2021, the Commerce Commission registered an application (the Application) from Trade Me Limited (Trade Me) to acquire 100% of the shares or assets of PropertyNZ Limited (Homes), which owns and operates the homes.co.nz website (the Proposed Acquisition).1 2. To clear an application, the Commission must be satisfied that an acquisition will not have, or would not be likely to have, the effect of substantially lessening competition in a market in New Zealand. 3. This Statement of Issues (SoI) sets out the potential competition issues we have identified following our initial investigation. This is so Trade Me and Homes (the Parties) and other interested parties can provide us with submissions relating to those issues. 4. In reaching the preliminary views set out in this SoI, we have considered information provided by the Parties and other industry participants. We have not yet made any final decisions on the issues outlined below (or any other issues). Our views may change, and new competition issues may arise, as the investigation continues. The concerns we are testing 5. We are still to conclude on the relevant markets in this investigation. However, at this stage, the focus of our investigation is whether the Proposed Acquisition would substantially lessen current or potential competition due to: 5.1 horizontal unilateral effects from a loss of competition between Trade Me and Homes in the supply of online listings for sale to real estate agents and agencies as a result of the Proposed Acquisition; and/or 5.2 conglomerate effects in the supply of online listings for sale to real estate agents and agencies.

    TECH INSIGHTS Source: Clare Capital Data: Factset and Company Reports If you want to be added to the distribution list, please email Mark Clare at [email protected] or call on +64-21-470227 Overview Clare Capital - Tech Insights 48 - Australasian Tech Wages & Salaries Costs - 20170728 This report looks at staff costs (primarily wages and salaries for employees of a company) as a percentage of revenue and how it changes given the revenue of a company. There is a lot of variation in staff costs for smaller companies (revenue between $1-5 million). However, once a company reaches a certain scale (revenue greater than $20 million) than staff costs remain around 35-45% of revenue. Only staff costs which have been expensed (i.e. employee costs on the Profit & Loss statement) have been included. This does not include any staff costs which have capitalised (i.e. capitalised development costs on the Cash Flow statement). For example, some Tech companies capitalise the salaries of developers working on the product/platform (i.e. Research & Development). This will not be included in the staff costs below and will undervalue the 'actual' staff costs as a % of revenue. Staff Costs (% of Revenue) from the Profit & Loss Statement - excluding capitalised development costs Staff Costs Definition Revenue 1M-5M 5M-20M 20M-50M 50M-150M 150M+ Staff Costs represents the total compensation to employees for services. These include stock options - expense, social benefits and costs, pension plans contribution and profit sharing expenses. These 20% exclude directors remuneration, agent sales 40% commissions, fees paid for third-party professionals for services, regardless if relating to the production 60% process or not.
