My good so many share gave 50% run from bottom values. Some gave over 100%.

I shed some of my holding before 31st March and the rest afterwards. Have to wait & see about the wage increment issue. Tea based plantations will be healthy till avg tea prices are above rs420. But increase in grativity has to be calculated. Also according to SLFRS acturial gain or loss on retirement benefit plan will have to be computed. This will vary from business to business as the discounting rate for this calculation will be based on companies cost of capital. Im still holding onto MASK though.

May be an expert can shed some info on this acturial gain loss calculation on retirement benefit plan according to SLFRS.

Thanks mate,

I saw some people mentioning about Horana. They even said that they will declare a devident this time. If I am not mistaken Their balance sheet is not great, they have a negative cash position and I do not know how they can pay a devident?

What are your views?

guys please comment?.

HORA is a well managed company among plantation companies. For an instance we know that holding companies charge an Management fee from the plantation companies. Mangement fee for MASK is 184mn & for HORA its only 16mn. Even if mgt fee is calculated based on revenue still it isvery much lower than MASK.

HORA will be able to declare a dividend as they have made 300mn positive cash flow from operations. Also 88mn after investing & financing activities.

Thank you Nigel.Machado for opening this thread.

After you highlighted the stock I quickly studied and bought it around Rs. 23.

Unfortunately I managed to find funds for only 10,000 shares that time.
I hope it will go to next stages in due course .

Withing next 2-3 months we should take a firm decision on plantations. For that, deep studies needed. All are talking about wage issue; previous memories affect our thinking . Sometimes unexpected happens.

Hey I saw this late and hence kindly disregard my question on HOPL devident analyser what I mean is they have a negative working capital position CA-CL and hence if they a devident wont they be trouble in the medium term as it is a pure cash outflow.

I prefer MASK from all tea based plantations. Its under the management of RICH. RPC plantation management company holds 83% of the company.

Annual eps of rs 7
Without time adjustment for rights annual eps of RS 5

short term investments of Rs 300mn

Net asset value of 29.

In 2011 when the wages were revised avg tea prices also dipped down to rs300 level. But now the tea prices are above 420. As i know avg cost per kg of tea was between 340 to 360 before wage revision. Now the cost per kg should be somwhere between 370 to 390.

I dont think MASK will declare a dividend. Wise will not declare dividend till the wage impact set in. Still anything & everything is possible. Anyway why should mask declare dividend when the parent company has already charged 184MN as management fee.
