DKN options expirey etc

todays announcements for the discerning investor of tomorrow.

I can see the paper headlines as I type "DKN get the money & now watch this baby go." With all the strife in world markets Deakin financial advisors will be in demand by those desperate to find a safe haven as money is no longer safe under the bed. The silverfish even got my mint condition $1 note.

Could see DKN head towards 30c now that the price has been kept around the 21c & the options have to be exercised or the underwriter 'pays up'.






Chairman`s Address to Shareholders

DEAKIN FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP LIMITED 2002-06-21 ASX-SIGNAL-G

HOMEX - Melbourne

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mr Rob Hunwick, Executive Chairman, Deakin Financial Services Group
Limited delivered the following address to the Company's General
Meeting earlier today.

"This is a very important moment for Deakin. If approved, these
resolutions will mean that Deakin has raised approximately $6.1
million after costs in the last 3 months. In turn this makes Deakin
financially strong and enables it to embark on its expansion plans.

A quick summary of what has been achieved since 1 January includes:

* 111 financial advisers signed under our new Proper Authority and
Insurance Broker agreements. These agreements involve fairer and more
appropriate remuneration arrangements for advisers. Deakin believes
it offers the most cost-effective deal for independent financial
advisers in the marketplace.

* Professional Indemnity insurance successfully negotiated in a
difficult market.

* Our management team has been substantially enhanced by the
recruitment of Graeme Hyland, National Sales and Marketing Manager,
and Dan Parry, General Manager of Adviser Services. These two
executives have vast experience and it is testimony to out emerging
status and the opportunities that Deakin can offer that they have
joined Deakin when their skills are widely sought after.

* Formed a project team to develop our new Master Fund product. An
announcement as to the direction we will follow in this regard is
expected by end July. We expect it to involve the latest technology
with flow-on savings and efficiency.

* Recruitment of our first advisers in Queensland. We expect to
follow this up with substantial numbers of recruits in both
Queensland and NSW in coming months. With changes in legislation and
problems for many acquiring professional indemnity insurance, there
are many advisers now seeking a network like Deakin to join.
Consequently, we have set our target at 200 advisers by June 30,
2003.

With this meeting behind us, I believe Deakin is well placed to
develop into a significant distributor of financial services. It has
the executive talents, the opportunity and now the capital; these are
the key ingredients to success in this market."
