Trading Update: BHP Billiton (BHPVZE/BHPVZV) – Key points from the result BHP reported late yesterday with a profit of US$10.7bln which was ahead of market and RBS expectations (RBS US$10.5bln). Trade long thorugh BHPVZE August $40 call, or short through BHPVZV August $36 put. • • •

Profit US$10.7bln (ahead of expectations) Dividend US$0.41 (in line with expectations) Management outlook was cautious as expected. There is uncertainty over the commodities demand dynamics in China and concern that recent higher commodity prices will lead to increased production before there is an increase in real demand

Source: IRESS

Technically, since hitting $20 in 2008 BHP has formed an uptrending channel and has recently traded to the top end of the channel and retraced. A worse than expected result could see the stock trade back down to the bottom end of its trading range near $32, while a better than expected result could see the stock crack through $40.

MINI Trading Update: Suncorp Metway (SUNKZM) – Value in insurance We have been bullish SUN since the stock broke through ressitance at $6.75. SUN has continued its rally since then thanks to talk of selling its banking assets, which RBS Research believe could unlock additional value for shareholders. SUNm announced its expected results on Friday with the key takeaway being that bad debts did not deteriorate further, which has positive implications for a potential divestment of SUN’s banking operations. While Insurance and Life were behind RBS Research expectations, the negative surprises were largely oneoff in nature. RBS Research believe there is further upside from here and retain Buy call with a new target price of $8.80. Buy SUNKZM

Source: IRESS

Early release of FY09 result • The key positive from the result was the narrowing of the bad debt guidance from 125-145bp to 125-135bp which has lifted banking NAPT expectations • Insurance suffered from the negative impact of marking-to-market the bond portfolio which was was greater than RBS Research had anticipated and the insurance margin guidance of 7.5-8% was also behind expectations. • The weakness in Life insurance was mainly due to the rapid unwinding of discount rate changes and is largely oneoff so not of particular concern. • The outlook for bad debts in Australia appears to be improving along with the macroeconomic situation. As a result, RBS Research have nudged up banking valuation multiple from 0.9x book value to 1.0x, which still only implies a PE of 6.4x in FY11F. • RBS price target increases from $7.38 to $8.80

Self Funding Investment: SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Property Fund (SLFSZX) The listed property sector has been one of the biggest casualties of the global financial crisis due to their high levels of gearing, falling occupancy rates and downward property revaluations. As a result the S&P/ASX 200 property index fell ~79% from its 2007 peak. However, with property trusts now reducing debt and obtaining refinancing from the banks, the underperforming property trust sector looks worthy of investment. You can gain exposure to the S&P/ASX 200 listed property stocks through SLFSZX. SLF is an S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property exchange traded fund (ETF) which tracks the performance of the listed property stocks. Technicals

Source: IRESS

The chart above shows SLF over the past 18 months. After bottoming in March 2009, the ETF has developed a sustained medium term uptrend with higher lows and current resistance at $7.50. A breakout of $7.50 would be a bullish signal for a continued advance of the uptrend

SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property Fund (SLFSZX) SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property Fund (SLF) seeks to closely track, before fees and expenses, the returns and characteristics of the S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property Trust Index. The approach is designed to provide a portfolio with low portfolio turnover, accurate tracking, and low costs.* The Index comprises the leading listed property vehicles in Australia and represents diversified exposure to the Australian listed property market. Exposure is diversified geographically across Australia’s major population centres and by sector across a range of property types, including industrial, commercial, retail and hotel/tourism.* *Source: IRESS

SLF vs XJO (ex property trust) performance over the past 3 years

Source: IRESS

The chart above compares the returns from the S&P/ASX 200 – Ex-property and SLF. It can be seen that the listed property sector has been a big underperformer compared to the rest of the market and this underperformance has increased over the past month, despite property companies improving their balance sheets. Look for this underperformance to reverse as the listed property companies de-risk and sell underperforming assets.

Using SLFSZX to gain exposure to listed property index Take advantage of upside in the S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property Index through an RBS Self Funding Instalment, SLFSZX. Self Funding Instalments (SFIs) are a simple way to gain long term geared exposure to ASX-listed shares while receiving many of the major benefits of share ownership including exposure to share price movements, dividends and franking credits. KEY BENEFITS of the new RBS self funding instalments include: * NO PUT PROTECTION COST * Simple, transparent and Cost-effective * 1 for 1 movement with the underlying share (delta 1) * Gearing around 50% - Limited downside risk * No margin calls * Non-recourse loan - You can never lose more than your initial outlay * ATO product rulings - Perfectly suitable to be used in SMSF's * Listed - Can be sold at anytime * Can be exercised at any time - simply by paying back loan amount * RBS are the only product issuer in the market who can offer this product * A low interest rate of 7.46% per annum

Reasons to buy SLF: * Listed property has significantly underperformed the rest of the market, particularly in the most recent rally * A major concern for the smaller property trusts has been refinancing debt, however banks are more likely to refinance the property trusts rather than taking the properties onto their own balance sheets and then having to manage them * Occupancy rates are still high, particularly in retail property which makes up a large proportion of the overall SLF portfolio (predominantly WDC) * Major property compmanies have undergone capital raisings to improve their balance sheets and de-risk * SLF offers an attractive yield with any franking credits an added bonus * SLF gives you exposure to the whole sector, which reduces the risk of being exposed to problems of any individual company.

STRATEGY – Using SLFSZX and WDCKZR to gain exposure to listed property ex-WDC For investors out there who are looking to gain exposure to a basket of listed property stocks without the 46% exposure to Westfield Group (WDC), a strategy to consider would be long SLFSZX and then short WDC thorugh WDCKZR MINI short. This strategy would give you upside exposure to all the stocks in SLF except WDC.

Cochlear Limited (COH) • The FY09 results were known to the market as COH released unaudited FY09 results on 14 July, 2009. FY09 core net profit was A$138.0m(pre-released at $137.7m), up 11.5% on pcp, and in line with the unaudited results. Core basic EPS was 233.7 cps, up 13.2% on pcp. FY09 dividend increased by 17% to 175 cps (fully franked) • The lacklustre result was due to weak cochlear implant (CI) growth (+1.3% on the pcp). FY09 CI unit sales were 18,461 with zero contribution from the Chinese donation contract. • Product sales growth overall was up 23% on pcp and 10% on pcp in constant currency terms. EBIT margin has decreased 350bp to 24.5% (vs. 28.0% in pcp). Importantly, the result included A$17.1m in losses from forex contracts. • In terms of guidance, management have not issued guidance for FY10 core earnings growth, but plan to update the market at the 2009 AGM in October. JB Hi Fi (JBH) • FY09 NPAT A$94.4m (+45.1%), on strong results in Australia & NZ. Loss on sale of Fixed Assets A$2.1m, v A$2.9m pcp. • Final dividend of 29cps representing FY09 payout ratio of 50%. This is the new target, up from 40% previously. Will likely result in 10cps uplifts to dividends going forward. • RBS Research target price increased to $20 from $17.75 BHP Billiton (BHP) • Reports in USD • While recent falls in commodity prices are likley to impact earnings, the change in costs will be a key focus as well as the management outlook for demand and prices Commonwealth Bank (CBA) • FY09 result is likely to show continued deterioration in economic conditions, albeit at a slower rate than peers given CBA's business mix and stronger domestic focus • Outlook for BDD’s will also be a focus and important for the sctor as a whole • The other focus will be the level of dividend paid out Computershare (CPU) • Result was in line with RBS forecasts - normalised NPAT at US$290m (vs RBS at US$291m) and EPS at US52.1c (vs RBS at US52.4c). • Guidance for the FY10 is for EPS "to be similar to" FY09. Given management's usual conservatism at the start of the year, RBS REsearch view this as positive • Free cashflow was very strong at US$319m, up 5% on pcp although this was partly due to a halving of capex to US$23m. • Interim dividend was flat at A11c (50% franked) rather than lifted by the usual 1c per half.

Telstra Corporation (TLS) • Expect the result to be at the low end of guidance, however a reliable and strong dividend will support the stock Coca Coal Amatil (CCL) • Strong summer should underpin double-digit 1H09 EPS growth and likely FY09 upgrades Leighton Holdings (LEI) • Expect surprise in the provision for firm guidance for FY10, with market attention likely to return to this forgotten favourite

XJOKZT Holders – Roll options Just a reminder to XJOKZT holders that the MINI is close to its stop loss of 4393. A stop loss event only occurs if the SPI hits 4393 or higher between 10am and 4pm.
