Ann: Half Year Accounts, page-13

I'm quite pleased with results, they are slightly better than expected.

*Good to see emerging practices/ Class actions as a growing as a proportion of revenue, though this was largely expected. I would expect this to increase further in 2nd half. Also judge has retired to consider verdict for J&J case so we could expect some strong cf from this anytime from now to the next year or so.

*Satisfied with a modest franked dividend, hoping they will pay debt down a little next HY as it is slightly concerning.

* Key financial metrics including GOCF growing, though some more than others. The financial leadership and decisions around capital management and provisioning since the original write downs and sp plummet several years ago seems to be reasonable prudent and conservative, which is exactly how it should be in these situations.

* Hopefully we can see an increase in positive sentiment and some insto's interested in buying again and some analyst coverage.
