The fall in price was a result of FY2013 earnings not meeting expectations.
On the options front, nothing much to note. (Transcript)
The comment made by company in their transcripts is that the dividend of 20c would be evaluated. Hence past dividends are not guaranteed.
However, if the quarterly dividend of 4 x 20c at current price holds, the yield is 13.8%, noted that the dividend payout ratio is some 369%.
Worth noting that the company has little/no debt.
On the business front, it looks pretty niche - if it holds the moat.
