Surely they must have known earlier than 30th September of low orders compared to previous quarter. Its a 4C report so comparisons should have been made against April, May and June receipts and revenue. The drop in revenue from last quarter could have been provided as a update to shareholders in the middle of August. In this instance thankyou to ASX for seeking further clarificarion as the first response was ignorant. This response only slightly contributes to further insight. Whether this explanation relates consistently to the first enquiry requires further comparison but initially it seems more and more like they knew it was going to be a bad quarter at the end of July and buried their heads i the sand. Lets hope no action or fine is taken against them from the ASX and further revenue / receipts have been recieved since the beginning of October. What would be nice is a formal update to shareholders on all proceceedings at this point in time.
