Angostura has also been able to reverse its negative net worth position. The audited financials state that "the group has now returned to a positive net equity position with an earnings per share of $0.58 (excluding one-off items) compared to negative $0.43 in 2009 (a 234.8 per cent improvement)." Speaking about the reversal of its negative net worth, Yip Choy said: "As you know, I inherited a huge amount of inter-company receivables. I think it's close to $1.2 billion. Some $170 million of that was satisfied by Clico through a transfer of assets and that reversed the negative equity." That decision now gives Angostura a stake in whiskey producer, Burn Stewart. Questioned on the future of the company, Yip Choy said that it would be to increase its profits. And he added that the company has not yet experienced the full benefits of all the changes he drove last year. "And when that is taken into consideration, plus the other initiatives I plan to implement, I would expect the year 2011 to be significantly better than 2010."
