Yes that channel went on for a very long time.At times so more sellers than buyers, even I got nervous.!!
And the old saying" time is the good company's friend" turned out to be so true.

I surprised no one on this forum(not even snoopy) has commented on the half year result, 16.5 million.
This does not even put them on target for the lower end of the target range, 34 million.
Are hnz seasonal? If not, i fear a profit warning coming.
Has there been a half year result ??
Given the historical seasonality of Heartlands profit (over the last two years at least) we are surprised you have commented on the tentative first half result.
If the prior years 43%/57% profit split is maintained then the full year would be expected to be about $38m on this basis.
But of course we will have 3 months of this new stuff and 'one-offs' around the acquisition to muddy the waters a little :mellow:.
As for the first half dividend this will be paid on a larger number of shares (the $15M equity placement and effectively through the reduced price of the SPP shares) so I consider $0.02 to be the most likely amount.

I'm not sure if the last 2 years can be relied on. There have been significant costs being taken out of the business including the banking licence effect. Obviously i need to dig into this a bit more.
EDIT: Ok digging more
Here are the last 2 year "Profit before impaired asset expense and income tax"
1h12 9400 2h12 19937 1h13 20200 2h13 16340
Definitely seasonality in FY12, but the opposite seasonality on FY13. It's all over the place.
EDIT:
Do I need to add 6.1 back to 2h13 to reflect the "prepaid expenses written-off as a result of the Change in Strategy. Specifically, the termination of the RECL management agreement as part of that Change in Strategy"?
Thus the new table is
1h12 9400 2h12 19937 1h13 20200 2h13 22440
This could indicate a seasonal bias, growth, or cost savings.
We can compare 1H14 (16500) with 1H13 by taking off tax 20200*.72= 14544.
This is good growth in profit. However, HNZ were not a bank until the end of 1h13.
There is also seasonality in Net Interest Income (NIO)
1h13 46,760
2h13 48,694
Fy13 95,454
This is slightly seasonal.
