Now, one last element on this, which everybody tries to understand currently is about the inventory levels. I think at the moment from anything we can see, the supply chains through the auto world are empty. And I say that because I know that every single product we are shipping is immediately built into a car, so that there is just nothing going on a sideline, it all goes through into production immediately. That's why we also clearly said we are supply constrained for the first quarter. And as a reaction to this, I hear quite a few people in the industry speaking about the desire to actually ask for more inventory along the chain in automotive going forward.

With FY25 results further deteriorating from FY24,  Avi-Tech is now trading at net cash. The PPE depreciation is probably conservative and so actual replacement cost should be much higher.

So there we have it - (1) traded market value undervalues the balance sheet, (2) Major customers look to have reduced their wallet spent permanently. (3) Controlling shareholders (but total share ownership still <50%) are generous per say as dividend payout ratio had always been relatively consistent at ~90% NP, (4) Permanent 500k loss in Hyflux 4.25% bonds. Also invested 500k for a 9% stake in Movel AI in 2021 and fully written off (associate accounting) after 3 years.

Will be interesting to observe how this evolves in current market.
