The audited A/c last FY showed £48M cash in hand or at bank. The £10M 'invested' at 3% is not needed to 'run' the business, since it has always reported positive free cash flow. For all the newbies to the board, I did suggest to Mr Zhang, via Abchurch, that the co., to invigorate confidence, should either implement a share buyback scheme, or return to shareholders, by way of a special divi, 30p ps, costing £23M, or half of the cash at bank. Mr Zhang himself would have personally benefited to the tune of £15M, since he owns 65% of the shares. . Abchurch did reply, stating Mr Zhang is happy with the way he presently runs the company. The co paid 4,3p cash ps last year in divis, and with the stated 12.5% downturn in net profit, still leaves sufficient free cash flow to pay another 2p when finals announced in April, making 4p cash for the year. It's all a question of believability. If it pays another 2p in April, at 20p sp, makes 20% yield. Is it 'too good to be true'. April divi will boost it, April cancellation of divi will tank it. Easy choice? All in MHO of course
