* Our FY07 NPAT estimate of $985m, just 7.5% above the FY06 figure looks conservative. We reduced the estimate from $1.02bn in early February following MBL's guidance that FY06 NPAT would be ``slightly up'' on FY05's AGAAP NPAT of $823m. It now appears we should not have bothered. The magnitude of the Dyno Nobel profit, will all things being equal, see NPAT through the $1.0bn mark. We have increased the estimate to $1.045bn. Diluted EPS based on weighted average ordinary shares of 252m is 414.7c with DPS of 230c. The FY08 forecast is under review.
