Cash and Debt Position
At 31 October the Company held $6.0 million in cash (September month-end: $6.0 million). This is
prior to the payment of a fully franked dividend of 3 cents per share scheduled for 4 December
(totalling $4.1m) declared on 29 October 2014.
The $2 million debt facility remains undrawn.
Private Equity Portfolio
October was a relatively quiet month with modest amounts of cash received from PEP IV and
Wolseley II, generated by dividends from underlying companies. Wolseley II also put additional
funds into its freight forwarding business, AGS World Transport.
Subsequent to month end, PEP IV sold another 20% of its holding in ASX listed Veda (ASX: VED)
returning further proceeds to the Company. More cash is expected from PEP III once the Griffins sale
settles (expected late in November).
