Overview:
Timbercorp is an agriculture investment manager, providing investment and financial services through large scale Managed Investment Schemes.

Performance:

Timbercorp have had a rough ride after copping a severe blow from the ATO and their decision to remove the deductibility of non-forestry MIS two years ago, despite the overriding of this decision in December 2008. Furthermore a tightening credit market, the economic downturn and drought have added to Timbercorp’s concerns.

Recent Trading:

Timbercorp have made headlines, falling 95% since August of 2008.  In recent weeks the company has been heavily burdened by declining global asset values and a tightening credit market. Timbercorp failed to sell assets to raise money and re-pay part of its $500 million bank debt.

In the past days, Timbercorp appointed a voluntary administrator and their shares have been suspended from official quotation on the ASX.
