Outlook Housing & Land Market Fundamentals for the housing market in Australia remain sound with a significant and growing undersupply of housing which is evidenced by historically low vacancy rates and rising rents. Current economic uncertainty expected to impact on demand for housing and land in the short to medium term with activity levels difficult to forecast. Lower interest rate environment and increased payments under the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) scheme will provide positive short term stimulus to the market. Property Development Well positioned in relation to its larger property development projects and the JV s it has with Leighton Properties. Good progress is being made across a number of projects that will result in a material contribution of revenue and profits over the next few years. Commencement of a number of property development projects is subject to a number of variables including the time taken to gain regulatory and other approvals.
Outlook Capital /Debt Position Devine remains well capitalised following equity restructuring (Leighton Placement and Rights Issue) with relatively conservative levels of debt. Majority of debt is project specific, secured by individual land holdings. $180M core debt facility does not expire until February 2010 subject to compliance with related debt covenants. Earnings Significant pipeline of future projects. Profit guidance provided in August 08 remains firmly in our sights but subject to achieving specific outcomes on a number of our larger property development projects and recovery in housing market. Recent global financial turmoil and resultant potential adverse impact on availability of funding for major projects and consumer confidence generally, makes forecasting difficult at this stage.
