Dividend Guidance
For financial year 2013
and barring any unforeseen circumstances the
Board
intends
to distribute a tax exempt (one tier) dividend of 3.
4
cents per ordinary share. http://info.sgx.com/webcoranncatth.nsf/VwAttachments/Att_B4FF35B23EEB863448257B3B003935A7/$file/SCPL_DividendGuidance_27March2013.pdf?openelement
45cts coming soon. ex-Div nearer and nearer.
Q. The Company has been buying back its shares at prices above the Net Asset Value (NAV), that is, at a premium. Shouldn’t the Company be buying back its shares at below NAV?
There is a combination of factors contributing to the Company buying 20.572 million shares at an average price of 38.65 cents.
As you are all aware the value of a Company is based not only on the NAV, but also on intangibles such as goodwill, branding, reputation etc., which can be even more valuable than the tangible assets.
1. In case of our Company we are of the opinion that –
a) Our gold and apparel businesses are well established. We enjoy market leadership, a track record of high profits, brand reputation, goodwill etc all of which will definitely be valued much higher than their NAV.
b) The fair valuation of our properties as at 31 August 2012 and the recent past months is well below the amount that buyers are actually prepared to pay on a “willing buyer willing seller” basis. This seems to be a norm now for all types of properties. Hence again the intrinsic value of the group is much higher than the NAV.
In the light of the above, we believe that the average price of our share buyback, i.e., 38.65 cents, is still below the real value of the Company and as such a “value buy”.
2. Currently, the cost of funds used to buy back the shares is 1.2% as compared to the cost of the share capital, which is the dividends that would be paid out on the shares this works out to be approximately 8%.
3. Another point in favour is that 118 million outstanding warrants are expected to be converted which will generate $37.76 million and bring down further our already low gearing. So we decided to invest in the Company’s own shares but at the same time cap the share buy-back price currently at 39.5 cents. We will be selling the shares back at 40 cents assuming the new warrants are converted.

A. The company strongly believes that the CEO’s bonus should be totally pegged to performance. At present, his bonus is 4% of the Group’s profit before tax for the year with a cap of $1 million and excludes items such as fair valuation and realized gains or losses on investment properties and shares.
Unlike many companies where CEOs continue to collect huge bonuses even in loss making years, the CEO of this company will not be entitled to any bonus, if there are no operating profits.
The CEO’s present salary of $13,000 per month is way below the market standards. The CEO himself had turned down past attempts by the Remuneration Committee to increase his salary. In fact, he voluntarily lowered his bonus from 5% to the current 4%.
A general comparison of his total remuneration with that of his peers in similar sized companies and profitability will show that he is not that highly paid.

final (3.3cts) and special (0.5cts) dividend declared ! Total 3.8cts !
It has bounced off 38.2% fib level. heading back to 45cts. 2 more days to result announcement.
From recent base of 36cts it went up to a peak of 45cts and now retraced 38.2% to 42cts. See how it goes from here. The current broad market sentiment is not so good, resulting in profit taking. But full-year result and dividend is coming soon, 8 days more. This should help to support the price going forward.
any news that it will be more than what has been indicated? i am hoping to see at least 4 cents this time....
