Our thoughts We firmly believe we own some of Australia’s best listed growth stocks We are confident that the executives of our companies will make the right “macro” decisions We believe it important to focus on our companies’ achievements rather than on the mood of the market Our best “value-add” is our extensive company visit schedule and networks
27
Our thoughts The two main components of our investments success are the stock selection and portfolio composition The PIE regime will be beneficial as we can more actively manage portfolio composition Our stock selection processes have not and will not change We continue to see plenty of interesting opportunities

Questions
30
What is it? –Legislation, commencing 1 October 2007, changes the way managed funds (including Listed Investment Companies) are taxed –Removes tax disadvantages to those investing in managed funds and leaves the investor in the same (or better) position whether they invest in equities directly or via a managed fund Portfolio Investment Entity Regime
31
Key Benefits to Barramundi: –Barramundi no longer taxed on capital gains on sale of investments held on revenue account (previously held by Barra Nursery Limited) –Distributions to shareholders will be excluded from their income tax returns –As a PIE, there will no longer be a restriction on the distribution of capital gains to shareholders –The ability to simplify the legal and reporting structure of the Group (through amalgamation) which will result in lower costs Portfolio Investment Entity Regime
32
–Certain Australian equities will attract tax on a flat 5% of opening market values (primarily those stocks not listed on the ASX/S&P All Ordinaries Index – top 500 listed stocks) –Dividends and any capital gains on these stocks will no longer be taxable –Where gains on these stocks are > 5%, the fixed tax payable will represent a tax saving –Where gains are <5%, the fixed tax payable will represent additional tax –At 31 August 2007 Barramundi had 16% of the portfolio invested in ‘caught’ Australian equities Foreign Investment Fund Regime
