No dividend. I think their books are still a bit fragile to be paying dividends yet.

A Tip-Top result for sure. Any increase in NPBT of 52% can't be all bad.
I am a little disappointed (and a little surprised) that no dividend is forthcoming yet. However, in the vast majority of cases a resumption or commencement of dividend payments is normally signalled at the AGM which in ALF's case is due later this year.
Dividends do get a mention in the last bullet point of the Bond Extension announcement earlier today whereby the $1M bond is extended at reduced interest rates from 30-Sept-2017 until 30-Sept-2021. One of the conditions of the bond is:
"ALF shall not reduce its equity capital by way of share re-purchase or other means without bondholders approval, provided however that ALF may pay, in relation to each financial year of the term of the Bond, an interim and/or final dividend of up to 51% of the Net Profit After Tax for that interim and/or full year period."
So the bondholders (who I think are predominantly [exclusively?] board-members anyway) have a bit of control for the next 4 years over any dividend payment by limiting it to 51% of NPAT, unless they authorise otherwise.
This announcement is the 1st I have heard on any potential dividend constraint. If this was in force over the last 12 months (which it could have been I conject), this years NPAT result of $1.554 million limits ALF's max dividend payout (without requiring bondholders approval) to $787k. A limit that would be exceeded if a 1/2 cent dividend was paid.... 161.5 million shares x $0.005 = $807k.
