I'll answer for New Zealand.

The tax year for individuals ends on 31st March each year.   But 
companies don't have to keep to the same schedule.   Some companies 
that are controlled by a US parent work it so that the end of tax 
years for parnet and satellite co-incide.  

Popular end of financial year timing is to finish up at the end of 
December and the end of June.   Typically the annual reports come out 
2 to 3 years after that date.   Most companies issue half year 
reports too, but there is no compulsion to release quarterly reports 
as in the US.

The only definitive answer to your question, though, is that it 
depends on the company.  HTH

PS Perhaps an Australian subscriber could answer the Australian bit 
of the question?
