TP$1.40 - Diversity In Uncertainty

The info is in the presentation powepoint issued today for the AGM. It is in the BBGI website. As for cash economic income, 2H2008 dividend was cancelled and used to pare down the corporate debt. I am impressed that they do not have debts. This means the income stream (from their investments) can be used to start paying dividends again. Study their past financial statements. They do not have employees (now they will have a few since B&B is disengaged). They do not have offices nor much overheads. The directors fees are modest. So, what else are their expenses other than audit fees and the consultancy fees? It is in their prospectus that most of the cash economic income is paid out to investors. That has been the basis of this stock. It is an investment stock. It is not a business that produces or offers a service. It is purely an investment business. Back to top

 

 a good buy,going to be debt free soon and resume dividend payment by FYE3 0June 3009
