Ann: Change of Director's Interest Notice, page-17

4sight - you seem to bang on about staffing a lot, have you ever worked for Hills? There has been a constant flow of staffing announcements over the last 5 months, so I can't see any evidence that supports your comments.

I agree with Jamwolf's comment that they need to market themselves a bit better.

I disagree that the numbers are ugly, or the business is failing....a quick look at the recent presentation and the 2H FY18 numbers are strong, with EBITDA of $5.8m and a NP for the period of $1.1m.

Even if they just hold that level for the next two halves in FY19, you would be looking at EBITDA of $11m and NP of $2m.

Any sales growth, or reduction in costs (online platform should deliver savings) could easily see NP creep up to $4m for FY19 (only requires a $900k improvement each half).

With strong free cash flow, debt should reduce to $10m and dividends would be back on the cards!!



The sell down is on tiny volume, a general lack of interest from buyers causing the price to drop, hence why some promotion of the business is needed. Hoping that the AGM provides a platform for a more positive discussion on the progress that has been made here and even some guidance for the market for this half to show a continuation of the trend to profitability.
