Record losses, Timbercorp AGM, Wesfarmers, Fairfax, PacBrands, Rich List, Hedley and great lists
March 5, 2009
This week's lively edition of The Mayne Report was sent to subscribers on Tuesday afternoon. The good news is that a subscription that lasts until June 30 now only costs $55, so why not get on board to read our weekly corporate governance observations. Here are the headlines from Tuesday:
1. Almost 200 companies report $1m-plus loss on last day - full list
2. The 9 new members of the $1 billion-loss club
3. Companies that probably won't ever report their huge losses
4. Ranking the 30 companies which should have taken much bigger write-downs
5. The small list of companies which did take big enough write downs
6. Possibly the last Timbercorp AGM ever as directors duck and weave
7. The Wesfarmers letter The AFR declined to publish
8. Will Fairfax shaft or support its retail shareholders?
9. Great moments in corporate governance from Cairns
10. Putting the heat on reckless spending in Queensland
11. Herald Sun hypocrisy over Pacific Brands pay packets
12. All the recent share trades and aggressively playing the share purchase plans
13. Another 11 new names for our Rich List
14. Radio dominated by Sol and executive pay
15. New and improved podcasting service
Meanwhile, here is a summary of radio spots over the past week:
774 ABC Melbourne with Lindy Burns discussing Rich Listers under pressure, executive pay, profit season and debt.
RRR Melbourne with The Breakfasters discussing Pacific Brands, executive pay and the global economic crisis.
4BC Brisbane with Drive presenter Mike Smith on Queensland's coming debt crisis.

That's all for now.
Do ya best, Stephen Mayne
