This year's theme of Performance is relevant to the company, to the products we produce, and to the people who produce them.
The report contains:
The report describes the company's performance for the financial year ended 31 March 2004. In the final months of this period, the NSW Government in Australia announced a Special Commission of Inquiry into the asbestos liabilities of former group companies that manufactured using asbestos and the establishment of the Medical Research and Compensation Foundation by James Hardie in 2001. At the time of printing this report, the Commission has yet to report on its findings. It is therefore not possible, and not appropriate, for the issues raised at the Commission to be addressed in detail in this report. The company will respond to the Commission's findings as soon as it is able to, and will communicate this information directly to shareholders.
