Generally Nahil is a smart person who has given lots of inside loans between his companies. So East will still largely benefit from the inside transactions of the earlier subsidiary Weligama Hotel and through selling all other subsidiaries to another company of Nahil reflects that he is realizing his profit during the hard times of economy.
Looking at Nahil's smartness it is possible that there will be at least another Rs. 8 Dividend that Nahil and family will declare to the shareholders and which will enable to earn more and then possibly invest in another company in Singapore partly to bring in another investment to East as foreign investment.
Then they might start another trading company or a hotel project raise necessary financing from banks and by next year mid there will be another Rights issue to build another hotel or acquire another hotel. Another three years or 5 years later they will sell the hotel again. From next year on wards Every year company will at least try to give Rs. 2-3 per share interim dividend twice a year somehow at least for another three years to keep the Nahil's kids Happy since Kids are more greedier than Nahil. Nahil's business model is to build at least hotel every three years value it in every two years and then sell and make profit, or even value Cement Silos for at least every three years and rent it or increase rent and make money.
Due to Nahil's healthy profile so far he will live more than 12 years so East will at least build 4 more hotels for Next 12 years and Nahil will work out to bring at least another US $ 100 million from his foreign investments to pump in to Sri Lanka.
Right now Sri Lanka is at a decisive juncture in terms of tourism so ideal time that Nahil can borrow from capitalizing dividend cash and then go for a new investment
The share is still worth at Rs. 8 - 9 to collect.
