Did the company provide any reason why no dividend was paid in FY12, unlike previous years? Any views on this? Thanks.

I think no dividend is OK as long as they are reinvesting the profits well. Dividend is over rated

I agree with your view on dividend, but my concern is why did they stop the practice after several years.

This PRC-based safe manufacturing business is getting better and better by the year! A gem stock in the making?
Dutech has not paid dividend for a few years now. They have cash and business is generating positive cash flow and yet they still dont pay a dividend.
what is your view on that?

Dutech last paid a $0.01/share Final dividend for FY11 on 21May12. Before that, Dutech also paid 3 other dividends of $0.01/share each for FY10, FY08 and FY07. So since listing on 2Aug07, Dutech had paid dividends for 4 FYs and not in 3 FYs - FY09, FY12, and FY13.
We must also bear in mind that Dutech's business volume had increased 140% in the last 3 FYs, from RMB 428.8 in FY11, to RMB1027.6m in FY13. Correspondingly, NP had increased by 195% in the same period, from RMB34.05m in FY11 to RMB100.36m FY13. Of equal importance, Dutech's Equity has also increased some 37.0% in the last 2 FYs, from RMB337.9m as at 31Dec11 to RMB462.7m as at 31Dec13.
So in effect, for every RMB1 retained since 31Dec11, it has grown to become RMB1.37 as at 31Dec13. Not bad, I thought.
I take note of Dutech quite some time already...
I had yet to take any action for only one reason...
S-Chip.
decision for me is actually very simple... (just look at Uncle T's signature)

Dutech has a simple website under the its main PRC subsidiaries named under Tri Star Group…..

The website has pictures of the wide range of products designed and manufactured by Dutech in the group's HQ in Shanghai and manufacturing base in Natong, Jiangsu.
Dutech's wholly-owned German subsidiary (acquired in Sep11) FORMAT Tresorbau GmbH & Co. KG has a much nicer website showcasing its wide range of quality safes…..
