		WATTYL has offered its most upbeat outlook yet on its profit prospects, after beating some of the forecasts it set when fending off the now lapsed $275 million hostile takeover bid from Allco Equity Partners.
		This was largely thanks to the $12.6 million in one-off costs associated with the two takeover bids made for Wattyl during the year and the major restructure undertaken by the company.
