Letter from the Managing Director
Next Year looks like being a significant year in the evolution of Wholesale Investor as the leading distribution channel to investors for private, pre IPO, IPO and small cap listed entities. Here in Australasia, we are blessed with a strong spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship which means that at all levels, in all sectors, there are visionary business founders working on what they think is the next big idea. And the evidence, both anecdotally and more empirically through our Wholesale Investor Sentiment Survey, shows that sophisticated investors are as willing as they have ever been to listen to the pitch from new companies. Biotech and cleantech companies have continued to be the flavour of the year for 2011, and that is likely to continue into 2012. The passage of the Government’s carbon tax legislation and the agreement by APEC leaders to cut tariffs for cleantech exports will doubtlessly have a positive impact on that sector, while the momentum for health and biotech remains undiminished. The mining boom remains a strong feature of Australia’s economic landscape, and at Wholesale Investor we have continued to bring a pipeline of exciting resource-based opportunities to our subscribers. All the evidence shows that the resources boom has some time yet to run, so we look forward to more mining opportunities in 2012. Next year looks like being a significant year in the evolution of Wholesale Investor as the leading distribution channel to investors for growth companies and Small Cap Listed companies. We will continue to do more of what we do well: our events linking companies and investors, our partnerships with the likes of PwC and our print and online communication platforms. Already, we have plans to significantly improve our digital offering and get closer to what the smart money is thinking through a new and better version of our investor survey, which we think will become a closely watched benchmark in the market. We will further develop our channel partner program giving corporate advisory and finance, private equity and venture capital firms the opportunity to use our unique distribution platform for the benefit of their clients. For now, its time to sign off on 2011 from me and the Wholesale Investor team, and thank all our stakeholders – investors and entrepreneurs alike – for engaging with us this year. We look forward to seeing more of you in 2012, and making the coming year a major success for us all.
Regards,
Steve Torso - Managing Director, Wholesale Investor

Business growth and strategy Medium-term profit outlooks are also much more bullish than sales expectations with 80 per cent of the segment expecting growth at 11.6 per cent. This is particularly pronounced in the ASX segment (90 per cent are looking at profit growth) and weakest amongst private companies (68.8 per cent).
While the short-term outlook is conservative and coloured by uncertainty, the medium-term outlook is considerably more optimistic. Most businesses are cutting costs where they can, but some are seeking out opportunities and reaping the rewards. Businesses across Australia are telling us their three key competitive drivers are margin compression, talent availability and pricing. To some extent, these are not new concerns, but uncertainty around the global and Australian economies, including the impact of the carbon tax, seems to be prompting many businesses to adopt a ‘wait and see’ approach. The much-vaunted two-speed economy does appear to be real, with marked differences in plans around investment, expansion and hiring for the mining and resources sector – for most of these companies, it’s full-steam ahead. In the meantime, those that can are endeavouring to better manage their costs. This is where the forecast profit growth across the board is likely to come from for most businesses, rather than an increase in revenue. The challenge for businesses is to ensure they are not cutting fat too close to the bone, and they could find themselves in a less-than-ideal situation when the inevitable upswing arrives. Given, however, that the top three impediments to achieving growth targets are cited as global economic conditions, lack of consumer confidence and lack of clear leadership from government, and with most businesses predicting flat or very low growth for the Australian economy over the next 12 months, perhaps they are wise to “batten down the hatches” and get ready for what may indeed be a bumpy ride – for at least the next 12 months. Over the next three years, the outlook is much more buoyant, with not one business surveyed forecasting negative profit growth. It appears they are anticipating that the uncertainties around global economic conditions and the carbon tax, seen almost universally as likely to impact negatively on business, will be largely resolved, and we can all get back to the task at hand. Profit growth has been much stronger than revenue with nearly 80 per cent of enterprises reporting either static (26.9 per cent) or increased (51.8 per cent) revenues in 2011 – a reflection of the increased focus on cost containment and margin management. This was strongest amongst ASX-listed companies, and weakest among large private companies, with nearly one third (31.3 per cent) recording a drop compared to 12 months ago. Profit expectations are considerably stronger than sales for 2012 – 72.5 per cent are expecting growth at an average rate of 8.1 per cent; this is strongest amongst ASX companies and multinational corporations in Australia; again, weakest among private companies.

The top three impediments to achieving growth targets are global economic conditions, lack of consumer confidence and government leadership. Global conditions are an especially high barrier for multinationals, whereas consumer confidence issues lead for private businesses and the ASX segment.

Executive Summary BioPower Systems is focused on developing advanced technologies which convert the energy in waves and tides to grid-ready electricity. Developed by a group of professional engineers with a deep understanding of the challenges posed by harnessing ocean energy, the designs address all the problems that have been experienced by other technologies. In achieving this, ocean engineering principles have been augmented with survival and performance concepts drawn from natural marine species such as kelp and sharks.

“White death” gets makeover as low sugar health food
BlackWall on the ASX
Sugar cane fibre developer KFSU says that cane is being heralded as an unlikely health food of the future after a small processing plant in north Queensland has discovered a way to turn cane stalks into low-sugar, highfibre, gluten-free flour.

When our Private Clients team spoke with brothers Emanuel and Napoleon Perdis, of Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics, they had outgrown their local advisor and were looking to expand. Emanuel wanted someone who could work with them on expansion plans and refinancing, but more importantly, he needed a trusted business advisor he could come to for future decisionmaking. Their unique take on the cosmetics industry – that they’re not in the fashion business, but the confidence boosting business – has seen them grow and grow. With the continued advice of their Private Clients team, they are now on their way to becoming one of the most recognised cosmetics brands from Australia to Hollywood. And Emanuel, he loves the fact that although he’s not our only client, he certainly feels like he is.
