    Net debt in May was $373M

    Since then ELD should have received

    1) pulpwood forest asset sale - $60M
    2) ATO payment of $38.5M plus costs

    Total around say $100M

    ELD also reduced back office size. -75 jobs and -2 directors which should lift group EBIT going forward by approx $7M per annum (my estimate)

    My theoretical net debt as at Sep 30 is then is approx

    $270M

    If they could get $150M net for futuris and say $25M net for remaining forestry assets this would mean a theoretical net debt of about $95M sometime in 1H 2013.

    At $95M net debt the backoffice restructure savings alone can fully service the debt at 7% interest.

    Thats why to me i think ELD can make it out of the woods - subject to the asset sales process.
