The Group recorded a net surplus of $13 million for the year ended June 2005, compared to $25.2 million in the previous year. EBITDA for the second six months was $8.6 million, down 65% on the first six months of the financial year reflecting a much softer market than anticipated by the Group as well as other significant issues described below.

EBITDA for the year ended June 2005 was $33.2 million compared to $46.2 million in the prior year.

Compared to the prior corresponding period, sales were $15.7 million lower, with the shortfall analysed as follows:

- New Zealand sales increased by $1.6 million;
- Yarn sales in the USA increased by $0.5 million;
- Australian sales decreased by $11.3 million;
- Further, the translation impact of the stronger New Zealand dollar on the Group's Australian sales reduced reported revenue by $5.3 million (3.4% adverse impact on reported operating revenue);
- The closure of the Company's rubber underlay operations in the previous financial year accounted for a reduction in sales of$1.2 million.
