Hi beyond and welcome to the board.

My explanation for what you have read goes like this.

When a research or analyst company does a report, they provide all the statistical info they can in respect to earnings and such. Its just a format that is found in most of these types of info sources.

Although it says no dividends are payed out or may not be in the future is just the way that the PRESENT is described. This can change at anytime and has no bearing on how our company will function in the future. There are investors who invest specifically in dividend paying stocks for source income, SLI is not for them because we do not pay a REGULAR dividend.

I hope this helps.
