Chairman and Managing
Director’s Report
The 2010 financial year has been another year of improvement for SDI. The
results show a positive trend achieved in a difficult global environment and
with unfavourable exchange rates for exporters. The Board of Directors
believe that the 11.2% increase in after tax profits was a satisfactory
result considering the above.
Net profit after tax increased by $0.4m to $3.47m (2009: $3.12m) for the
12 months ending 30 June 2010. The result for the 2009 year included a
A once off $0.26m profit from the sale of a building and when allowing for
n this, the actual net profit after tax for 2010 had increased by 21%.
n
u Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) decreased by $0.6m to $4.9m (2009:
a $5.6m). This reduction was predominately caused by the movement in
l foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reported a net currency
R loss of $0.4m for the period ending 30 June 2010 compared to a net
e currency gain of $1.1m for the same period last year.
p
o Earnings per share for the 12 months ending 30 June 2010 were 2.9 cents
r compared to 2.6 cents for the corresponding period last year.
t
Sales in Australian Dollars were $53.1m, down 5.9% on the prior year
2 of $56.4m. SDI exports 91% of its products and when comparing in like
0 foreign currency exchange rates to the previous year, sales increased by
1 5.7%.
0
Australian sales (including Australian direct export sales but excluding
intercompany sales) were down 1.7%. However, when adjusted for the
currency movements in export sales, sales increased by 7.2%. In local
currencies, sales in North America were up 5.4%, Brazil was down by
9.3%, and Europe was up by 11.1%.
2 //
Operating expenses in Australian Dollars decreased by 4.2% compared
to last year. Approximately 59% of SDI’s total operating expenses relate
to its offshore subsidiaries and are subject to currency movements
when reported in Australian Dollars. In local currencies, North American
expenses were up by 4.1%, Brazil was up by 2.7%, Europe was up by
4.2% and Australian expenses were up by 6.1%. Excluding the increase
in R & D expenditure, Australian expenses were 2.4% down on last year.
The Company increased its total cash holdings by $0.97m in the period as A
well as reducing debt by $2.2m. The Company is committed to continuing n
n
to reduce its debt levels by at least $1.0m per annum.
u
The Company is now well placed for continued improvement with its a
enhanced product range and extensive global distribution system. The
l
Company exports to approximately 100 countries in the world. Its product R
range of restoratives, adhesives, tooth whitening, and equipment is now e
further strengthened by its Glass Ionomer system, Riva, which is beginning p
to be recognised in the global market. o
r
As a result of the continuing improvement in the Company’s operating t
performance and cash flow, the Directors have declared a final fully
2
franked dividend of 0.4 cents per share, an increase of 0.1 cent per share
0
on the previous financial year. 1
In conclusion, the Board of Directors would like to thank the management 0
and staff of the Group for their support and effort throughout the year.

We have audited the accompanying financial report of SDI Limited, which comprises the statement of
financial position as at 30 June 2010, and the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows
and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the
consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time
during the financial year as set out on pages 18 to 56.
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and
the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant
to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates
that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting
A Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to
n International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial
n statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
u
a Auditor’s Responsibility
l
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with
R relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
e assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
p
o An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
r financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the
t risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of
the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
2 purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes
0 evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
1 made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
0
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
