A. As an established provider of data communications and networking products, NetComm operates in a fast evolving and growing industry.

Q16. Will future dividends be franked or unfranked?
A. Dividends can only be franked to the extent that income tax has been paid on company profits.

Beyond this, significant carried forward income tax losses are likely to both reduce income tax payable and the ability to frank dividends in the foreseeable future.

A. With a strong customer base already in Australia and New Zealand, NetComm is now making a mark in the export market as well. Export is a key growth area for the company’s sales and NetComm is dedicating significant resources to capitalise on the opportunities.
