Looking at it again its possible that these are effectively not wrapped in ADRs..whilst ADRs are available I think the OTC market has the ability to provide a share market the same as AIM or ASX, the difference is its off exchange therefore the regulation is different (ie you aren't 'protected' by the rules of a listing) and the flexibility is different, you can check out Charles Schwab (discount brokerage) for more details. That risk is somewhat diminished given the company as a whole is regulated in AUS and the UK so gives comfort to a US investor/trader. Whatever, US investors will still be running FX risk. If USD significantly weakened against the AUD or GBP the effective purchase cost to a US investor goes up in USD terms where the share price in GBP or AUD remains the same. Equally if an investor already hold the stock and USD weakens , they will make a USD return if they sell at the same price and convert back to USD (excluding fees, commissions and taxes). Another way of looking at it, the US price can move around and still be fair value to a stagnant UK price if GBP/USD is volatile. Unless there is a big movement in GBP/USD you probably won't be able to see this much given the spreads of not only the share price bid/offer, but also the spread bid/offer inherently quoted for the FX within the USD OTC price.
I'll leave everyones heads alone now....;-)
