Some $ 30 mill. of this $ 154.1 mill.
profit is revaluation.
Deduct this and the remaining profit is some $
124.1 mill.
Predictions are difficult as the new investment in
London will still need to prove itself.
As CLI is the main beneficiary of
the strong increase in Australian annuities, I am looking at a P/E of just
over 6 up to June 30, 2002.
This is based on the current price of $ A
3.80 and some 284 mill. shares. ( This includes DRP shares).
The CEO of CLI has stated that * organic* growth
will be the chief growth tool from now on. That ought to put a floor under the
share price as because of cash issues - resulting from takeovers
- the share price declined.
Analysts are still having problems with the
enterpretation of the profit result.
The public will be watching any moves by Packer who
has a good stake in the company.
