Results look fine to me.Drop is, as you say, down to placing, but this will eventually be good for the s/p as it looks like a decent purchase. While we wait, likely full year dividend of US 4 cents per share (which the placing RNS states will be maintained):
"The interim dividend of US1.33 cents per share will be paid on 9 January 2015 to ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of business on 21 November 2014. Subject to financial and trading performance in the second half of 2014/15, we expect to recommend a final dividend of US2.67 cents per share, resulting in a full year dividend of US4 cents per share."
