30/June/2015 Interim report - Analysis
Company hold Rs. 426 mn in cash and are in the process of looking at a couple deals to deploy this cash into.
They did not dispose any holding so they did not account any gains.
So when they dispose and make gains it has the possibility to show good reports in the future.
As it has good divident history and strong parent company. We can see a good performance in the future.
