    I just don't understand why they need to have such high debt levels.. by way of their constitution they are able to pay out 100% of their debt as dividends...

    but they aren't generating any cash, and going further into debt.

    Profit for the Half was $4m
    Cash outflow for the half was $13m
    Increase in debt was $15m
    Payment of Dividends to shareholders $2.5m

    8.5% of the Profit is paid to directors on a monthly basis... while cash flow is still negative.

    I can't see this ending well... Can anyone explain how this company won't end up bankrupt?

    Am I missing the obvious?
