If i rmb this year's dividend was based on its stock price (approx 5%) instead of payout ratio. Hence, if Eratat's stock price is very high say 40 cents, mgmt has to either declare 5% of its price etc or switch to payout ratio. Conversely, it can reduce the % of tock price, which will rise quesions abt mgmt's crediility.
However, do note that stock prices will not rise considering that they are warrants at 30 cents which will expire soon

Who knows if warrant holders may push it all the way up up for conversion. Price too far apart lah. Lol..
I expect 2013 will be a great year, a year free of the issues of 2011/2012. And if they just maintain their sales/profit margin, the cash per share will still be fantastic. Will the stock run up to 20 cents?
