DIVIDEND FOR YEAR OF 10 PER CENT.

FELT AND TEXTILES OF AUSTRALIA LTD.

Felt and Textiles of, Australia Ltd. announces that it has decided to pay a final dividend on all ordinary shares at the rate of 5 per cent, for the halfyear ended June 30, 1940, making 10 per cent, for the full financial year, the dividend being payable on October 1, 1940. Fifty per cent, of the dividend now declared has been declared wholly and exclusively out of income available from funds derived from sources outside Australia and, therefore, is exempt from tax under the Commonwealth or State Income Tax' (Assessment/Management) Acts. A preliminary survey of the figures discloses, subject to audit and some probable minor readjustments, a net profit for the year of not less than £150,000. This improved result has been largely occasioned by the full utilization of the new capital, close coordination of the companies in the group and more economical production. The usual half-yearly' dividend of 3 per cent.' on 6 per Cent, preference shares will be payable on October 1. 1940. ' Because of the growth of the business it has become desirable further to strengthen the capital structure of the company, and it has been decided to make a further issue of 314,624 £1 ordinary shares. These shares will be offered to existing ordinary shareholders at par in the proportion of one new share for each two ordinary shares now held.
