The opticom business is only one part of the Hills Business...

The opticom business is only one part of the Hills Business model.

There are other areas of their business which have been holding it back due to High Aussie dollar and imported products impacting on business and margins through the Hills group.

Have a look at Orcon Steel which is not making the profit it once was due to high A$ and imported competition against the Aussie manufacturer.

Not a bad result for hills but has a long way to go to regain better dividends for holders and the highs in its share price from 2007.

Opticom may be a growing part of its business but other areas are still holding profits back.


Cheers
