31 January 2005 Net Tangible Assets (NTA) Statement
MMC Contrarian Limited (MMA) is a listed investment company. MMA's investments are managed by MMC Asset Management Limited (MMC) (AFS Licence No. 230920). HGL Limited (ASX code: HNG) has made available the services of several of its key executives to assist MMC with providing these management services. These HGL representatives participate as members of an investment committee of MMC. Both HGL in its own right and MMC on behalf of its clients are experienced investors with excellent long term records in selecting investments. MMA's investment philosophy is aimed at preserving and growing shareholders' capital over the long term. This is achieved by acquiring a concentrated portfolio of companies primarily listed on the Australian Stock Exchange that are trading at a discount to their fair value (value investing), by thinking independently and not following the herd (Contrarianism), and by having a structured and methodical approach to investing (discipline). An MMA share therefore offers its shareholders exposure to a distinct investment strategy that is not widely available in the investment markets
