Robert,

I would doubt that there will be much buying of this stock as a dividend play - it is just too illiquid.

Also this is not a regular dividend - it is a one time shot. Apparently the BOD will consider issuing future dividends as financial conditions allow. Given that the amount of the dividend on a per share basis exceeds the annual earnings of the company, it is not sustainable at this level.

Still, it is partly a good sign in that it points to the possibility of the company establishing a regular dividend at some point in the future (maybe within the next few years?) if their earnings become more stable and predictable. On the negative side, it suggests that the company does not have any idea of where they can invest the cash to generate a good ROI for the shareholders.

Regards,
John Sladek
