OUTLOOK
1H14

Very weak business conditions in WA impacting first half revenue and


earnings

New acquisitions (Capricorn, Eaton and Pentad) completed 1 September

One-off acquisition costs to be expensed under accounting standards of $550k


Financial and legal due diligence, regulators (ASX), legal documentation, shareholder
meeting

Corporate Advisory workflow is strong

Success fee pipeline +$2m

Timing uncertain - no completions anticipated in first half

Accounting treatment - bring revenue to account when completed rather than as work
in progress; costs to account as incurred
