State One has:

• at all times encouraged its clients to pursue conservative gearing structures;
• never actively encouraged the lending of stocks to other parties;
• at all times dealt only with leading financial institutions. Currently the key intermediaries which State One employs are: NAB, Macquarie Bank and the Bendigo Bank subsidiary, Leveraged Equities.

Both State One Stockbroking Ltd and its associate, State One Equities Pty Ltd, have capital reserves which are well in excess of the requirements as prescribed by ASIC, ASX and Chi-X. Furthermore, the State One Capital Group has a very conservative financial structure, with absolutely no debt of any form in any group companies at the time of writing.
