However, long term shareholders will know that SCT earnings tend to be lumpy. So the fact that SCT was able to reward shareholders with a juicy final dividend of 5.5c per share may owe as much to good luck as good management.
As for the exceptionally strong cashflow, I am picking the $40.369m injection of new capital from the cash issue might have had something to do with it! Take out that and cashflow is negative $6.125m for the year. However, with such a strong cash pile waiting for investment, an underlying negative cashflow is not a problem, for now.
