Chairman’s Address • Total revenue grew from $2,388,435 in 2006 to $4,324,407 in 2007. • Profit before tax grew from $1,015,437 in 2006 to $2,050,381 in 2007. • Profit after tax grew from $778,957 in 2006 to $1,440,489 in 2007. • Total dividends paid grew from 5.5 cents (out of 2006 profits) to 11.0 cents (out of 2007 profits). The 2007 final dividend of 5.5 cents was 75% franked.
Chairman’s Address (cont.) This has been achieved as a result of: • The establishment of the warehouse loan facility. We have been successful in this regard, initially establishing a facility of $20 million and since increasing it to $60 million • Increasing our equity base by approximately 50%
Chairman’s Address (cont.)Achievement of 2006 Strategy Priorities established in 2006: • Increase the funding base. Increased by almost $65 million. • Continue to improve the quality and diversification of the loan portfolio. Range of product types in locations from Cairns to South Australia. • Ensure available loan funds are fully employed. • Establish a Responsible Entity for the planned Property Trust. • Continue to seek additional revenue streams from the by-products of the debt funding business. • Establish low volume market for shares. Three sales to date, and another under consideration.
Chairman’s Address (cont.) Warehouse Facility • Warehouse funding approved by BOS International (Australia) Limited • Initially $20,000,000, since increased to $30,000,000 and then to $60,000,000 • Effectively a loan to Paridian which is then on-lent in smaller parcels to developers • BOS International – part of HBOS Group, one of world’s largest financial services groups • Has enabled Paridian to more than double its loan portfolio from $12,000,000 to $26,000,000 at 30 June 2007, with further increases since then • Margin achievable on these funds is approximately 12% • Requires a first loss reserve of 40% to be deposited with BOS International • Increased leverage means an increase in the return on share capital
Chairman’s Address (cont.) Going Forward • Paridian’s strategic direction is primarily focused on the continued growth of the loan portfolio to a scale in the order of $100 million in the short term. • We are actively seeking opportunities in Sydney and North Queensland. • We are currently in the process of seeking further subordinated debt and equity to facilitate this growth. • A new group structure has been established to further mitigate risk and provide for the inclusion of new subsidiary companies to incorporate additional revenue streams to be created under the Paridian business model, including the establishment of the funds management business through a proposed property trust. • Finally I would like to thank the outgoing and incoming CEO’s, Patrice Sherrie and Leon Stephan.

Questions from Shareholders Annual General Meeting
Questions received • Directors Fees 2004/05 2005/06 2006/07 2007/08 Actual Actual Actual Forecast Directors fees $’000 358 338 317 230 * Revenue $’000 715 2,388 4,324 Fee % of revenue 50.1% 14.1% 7.3% * Forecast decrease reflects the changed role of the chairman from non-executive to executive • Fees have not increased since the threshold of three loans was achieved, despite the growth • Extended periods of time historically where fees were not taken to preserve cash flow • Paridian has a relatively low number of employees for the revenue and profit generated, and therefore relies heavily on the active involvement of non-executive directors • This is evidenced by the number of Board and committee meetings attended by each director (ranging from 34 to 44 during the financial year) • Fees have been independently confirmed as appropriate
Questions received (cont.) • Capital raising costs • Capital raising expenditure $0.05m • Proceeds from issue of shares $2.9m • Cost of raising capital was 1.7% • Is the property trust a distraction? • No. Our focus remains on the core business and long term the trust will have its own resources. • The benefits include increased revenue and attractiveness to developers. • Shareholder liquidity • Created a low volume market. • A share buyback occurred in the financial year. • Should the limit on the low volume market be fully utilised the Board will consider another buyback next year.
Questions received (cont.) • When will Paridian list? • Market conditions are not conducive at present • It is too early to factor in the full benefits of our wholesale funding facility
