This plantation timber marketer and operator recently announced a good set of numbers for the six months ended 31 December 2002. The second half of the financial year is where most of the action happens for Great Southern but it was pleasing to see sales up strongly and the declaration of a two cent fully-franked dividend (ex-date 6 May). With the stock still trading well below its 93-cent net tangible asset backing, it remains an attractive BUY at these prices.
