    Companies can pay dividends out of current year profits especially if they have positive Total Equity.
    KCN does have positive Total Equity at 31Dec23 of $33.4mil and although they do have $754.4mil in accumulated losses then, they can at anytime set-off the bulk of those losses against the total of Contributed Equity of $727.3mil. I would expect them to re-instate the cost value of their PP&E to the amount of the impairment in 2016 of ~$200mil as at 30Jun24 so that accumulated losses then would be less than Contributed Equity.
    I would expect the only borrowings at 31Dec24 will be the leasing debt to CAT of maybe ~$50mil and expect profits for six months to 31Dec24 to be in the vicinity of $65-70mil. There will be no impediment to them paying a dividend out of these half year profits in Feb/Mar next year.
