ASX RESOURCES - GROUP 150We are pleased to present the October edition of ‘Gresham Group 150’, a ranking of the top 150 ASX listed resources companies (excluding oil and gas), by market capitalisation. September felt like another month at “ASX Casino” with only 18 companies recording a positive increment on their market value. The Gresham Group 150 lost $72.5 billion or 14.2% during the month, with the cumulative market value falling from $509.8 billion to $437.3 billion, a level not seen while we have been compiling the Group 150. At the end of the first week of October, approximately $33 billion had been recaptured with the cumulative market value climbing back to $470 billion.The entry threshold for September’s list fell dramatically to $96.6 million, down from $111.2 million last month. The ASX/S&P 200 Resources Index decreased 13.4%, while the ASX All Ordinaries and ASX/S&P 200 Index decreased 6.9% and 6.7% respectively. Given the turmoil in the market in recent months, we reviewed the thesis from the March 2011 edition, “cash is king and debt is bad”. Utilising the recent 30 June balance sheets, we updated the market gearing levels for the Gresham Group 150 to identify any stretched balance sheets or dramatic changes in gearing levels. The updated study found that consistent with previous findings, approximately 80% of companies still remain in a net cash position and the weighted average gearing level has decreased marginally to circa 1.1% (versus 2.6% at March 2011), when measured on a net cash to enterprise value basis.During the relevant period the market value of the Gresham Group 150 has declined 28% from $605.4 billion at end of February to $437.3 billion at 30 September 2011 and cash reserves have decreased by $9.2 billion from $42.7 billion to $33.5 billion while total debt has increased $4.8 billion from $40.9 billion to $45.7 billion. Returns at “ASX Casino” in October will be interesting. Having witnessed a couple of spins of the wheel from the US Federal Reserve in response to rapidly deteriorating economic and financial conditions, it now appears the leaders of Germany and France are going to have a spin and unveil a comprehensive package to recapitalise the European banks by the end of October. Early indications (given market commentary around a possible offer for Extract) suggest the uranium sector may hit the Jackpot!

Changing gearing levels in a falling market
In the March 2011 edition, we reviewed the thesis “cash is king and debt is bad” based on the net cash position of the Gresham Group 150 utilising market values at end of February adjusted for 31 December 2010 balance sheets.
Given the uncertainty in the markets in recent months, the analysis has been updated to account for the net cash position at 30 June 2011. During this time the market value of the Gresham Group 150 has declined 28% from $605.4 billion to $437.3 billion at 30 September 2011 and cash reserves have decreased by $9.2 billion from $42.7 billion to $33.5 billion while total debt has increased $4.8 billion from $40.9 billion to $45.7 billion.
The study found that approximately 80% of companies still remain in a net cash position, consistent with previous findings, but the weighted average gearing level has decreased marginally to circa 1.1% (versus 2.6% at March 2011), when measured on a net cash to enterprise value basis.
In a change from March, the companies with overseas focussed operations are in a stronger net cash position than peers with domestic focussed operations – refer next page. Below is a summary of the gearing levels of the Gresham Group 150.
