SAS September Financials
SAS Sep financials* 0.029L Dividend paid for the August period
* Stock Assets 30% up on IPO level
* 21,000L Cash retained last month used to buy up more stock
I announce a dividend for the September period of 0.0287L which has just been paid out after what has been a conservative month where we have made modest earnings whilst boosting up our portfolio.
Our current share portfolio is worth 358,400L- this is an improvement of 30% on our IPO cash and nets us over 8,000L a month in dividends alone.
On top of our dividend income- this month we made 18,551L from share sales- mostly involving BDVR- which we have sold half our stake in at massive profits.
Last month we set aside 21,000L in cash to be used for investment into the gaming industry following an initial assessment. I have decided not to pursue this avenue and so have used this cash pile to strengthen our portfolio- doubling our stake in ISE to 10,000 shares (a move that is already paying off) and increasing our holdings in BNT to 40,000 shares.
So if overall hardly a month to match the RL financial markets in terms of excitement- September has seen us make enough profit to meet our 0.03L target whilst strengthening our portfolio.
Our target of paying dividends of 0.03L for the rest of the year looks extremely realistic- just take a look at our portfolio below- and over Christmas I shall probably ask SAS shareholders to vote on if they want this level maintained, reduced or increased.
