• Continuing operations revenues and expenses relatively flat at $67.5 million and $40.2 million respectively;
• Net profit after tax of $11.6 million is lower than 2017 due to the strategic decision to focus on our core capital markets business, resulting in the disposal of non-core businesses (and the related impairments of $3.0 million).

• Total fully imputed dividend of 7.6 cents per share, including the special dividend paid in September 2018, up 24.6% on 2017; and
• Full year 2019 operating earnings expected to be within a range of $28.0 million to $31.0 million.

This guidance assumes no material adverse events, significant one-off expenses or major accounting adjustments.
