Hi Woody,
Haven't dug too deep. Not sure what your
interest is, but this one is certainly different from anything I've viewed
before.
First Impressions: Not at all sure why
they've decided to pay a dividend - seems odd. Would have preferred far
more detail in their accounts which makes me suspicious.
The following represents the notes I take
whilst I'm reading, plus a couple of recent announcements.
How deep did you want me to go?
Regards,
Cris
