I will throw around the following for general discussion.
Using a simple capitalised earnings method as a very crude guide to apply to the figures (excluding Sucrogen) in the 2010 annual report;
sustainable EBIT pa / capitalisation rate % or required rate of return
say, @ 10% required rate of return
ie $.251 million / .10 = $2.51 million
plus inventory, .364 million
then, $2.954 million / 1.5 billion ord shares
= $1.92 per share
say, @ 12% required rate of return
ie $.251 /.12 = $2.09 million
plus inventory, .364 million
then, $2.254 million / 1.5 billion ord shares
= $1.64 per share
These estimates might suggest the separate parts are worth more than the conglomerate value and that the present share price reflects quite a negative market sentiment.
