Analyst’s Comments Alastair Hunter, J B Were Post FY 98 Result Global concerns overshadow a strong domestic performance. . . The reduction in the risk profile will add value to the shareholders. . . Post HY 99 Result For further share price appreciation we will need to see: continued improvement in sentiment towards Asia, positive revisions to earnings forecasts, implementation of the strategic plan, improved confidence in management and a regeared balance sheet. Post Strategy Seminar ANZ has a clear vision and strategy in place. The key issue for investors now becomes confidence in management to execute the strategy. We are warming to the execution capability of ANZ….

Analyst’s Comments Mike Macrow, Merrill Lynch Post FY 98 Result Our reduction in opinion reflects the higher asset quality risk inherent in a mor commercially oriented bank Post HY 99 Result The underlying result of $1. 3 b achieved our expectations. While ANZ has par recovered from a chronic oversold position, some work is required to take the step upwards. Post Strategy Seminar ANZ share price has underperformed CBA share price 30% and NAB by 15% since December 1996. Cost cutting and rationalisation of below hurdle activiti suggest a price catch up is likely.

ANZ Vision ANZ is a vibrant financial services company that delivers: Superior performance and value for our shareholders m An experience which delights our customers m m An environment where our people excel
