year are up 7 percent and profit is ahead of the same period last year.
“While this is a good start, the success of the first half of our financial year hinges on our December trade,” chairman
Warren Bell told shareholders at their annual meeting today. “We are well positioned and will make every endeavour to
ensure we enjoy strong trade over this all-important trading period.

‘hold’ based on the consensus of five analysts polled by Reuters with a price target of $4.60.
