http://www.brr.com.au/event/49359

TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2008, 2:30 PM.

            BRR    Good afternoon and welcome to Boardroom Radio. Today, we are speaking with Mr. Wayman Chapman, CEO of Rubicor. Thanks for joining us today,

10                    Wayman.

            RUB    Pleasure. Good afternoon.

            BRR    Wayman, we have seen that you have released your preliminary full year result and you guys have had a fantastic year. You have had some

15                    exceptional growth driven by acquisitions and organic growth. Did you want to give our listeners just a quick update on the year-end and what has driven these results?

            RUB    Well, essentially, it has been a year in two halves and I guess that would be typical of a lot of Australian companies. As we came into the second half

20                    through the months of February/March, clearly it looked like being a fairly difficult period and to some extent it was. Clearly, the second half was much more challenging just simply because of the economy softening somewhat and a more difficult economic environment, but the reality is that we were able nevertheless to post the sort of numbers that we have, and to that

25                    extent, we are extremely pleased with the outcome including when we did make two significant acquisitions during the year, but this growth nevertheless is largely around organic performance as well. So over the stretch, it has been a pretty impressive performance.

30        BRR    Okay, Wayman, and when can our listeners keep their ears out for the full year result to have at least a bit more detail.

            RUB    We will be producing those at the end of this month. I think it is on the 29th of August, which is roughly a fortnight from now. So that is when the (inaudible) (0:01:32) version of our full year results will be produced, and hopefully more

35                    information pertaining to them at the same time.

            BRR    Thanks for your time today, Wayman. I am sure our listeners will appreciate that brief update there on just the performance of Rubicor over the year and we look forward to speaking to you soon when we have your full year results.

40        RUB    Terrific. I will look forward to it too.

            BRR    That was Wayman Chapman, CEO of Rubicor. If you have any questions about this broadcast or any other broadcasts, please feel free to contact us at brr@brr.com.au. I am Eddie (Inaudible) (0:02:07) and thank you for listening
