Press Release Summary: SADIF-Investment Analytics SA has applied its StockMarks(tm)
stock-rating system to Amcor Limited and produced a research report, rating the
company's attractiveness to long-term investors.


Press Release Body: Mira, Portugal - October 15, 2008 - SADIF Investment Analytics
SA, today announced the release of a new equity research report covering Amcor
Limited (ASX:AMC). The report utilizes SADIF's powerful StockMarks(tm) stock rating
system and is required reading for any current or potential Amcor Limited investor.

Report Summary: Australian packaging company Amcor is the world's largest
manufacturer of plastic bottles. The company also produces a number of other
packaging materials such as food containers, cardboard boxes and tobacco product
packaging. The bulk of the company's revenues come from the relatively non-cyclical
food and beverage packaging industry. However, this has not completely shielded
Amcor from the effects of the global economic crisis. In August, the company
reported full year results for FY2007/08. The report revealed a seven percent
decline in profit due to factors such as rising energy costs. Revenue from
continuing operations fell almost five percent compared to FY 2006/07. Revenue from
external customers weakened in all geographical segments excluding Latin America.
Amcor hopes that newly-opened packaging plants will boost this year's revenues.
However, the company's restructuring over recent years has yet to payoff for
shareholders. While Amcor shares have fallen this year along with the Australian
market, the stock was stagnant before the crisis hit. Now, with demand appearing to
weaken, investors should continually evaluate their position in the company. In
order to remain objective, we can look at the company's long-term underlying
fundamentals in order to gain an impression of how the stock will perform in the
long run. We can assess the company''s long-term outlook through the use of the
StockMarks framework. Amcor currently has an overall long-term
investment-attractiveness rating (Total StockMark or SMT) of 32, placing below the
market average. This rating ranks the company sixth when compared to ten of its
closest peers, selected on the basis of similarity of business and market
positioning factors such as size.

The complete report breaks down the Total StockMark into its three components -
Business, Management and Price, performing a thorough analysis of Amcor Limited for
long-term investors.
