Contact with Company17 Apr 2018 08:38
Have finally had contact with the company, after trying for over a week. These are my personal string impressions;
NIEEF continue to support us, believing that our proposal is perfectly acceptable. Just paperwork left but continues to be at advanced stages. We could hear any time.
JV discussions for RHA ongoing. Plan is for a proportion of RHA - taken from NIEEF - to be given to a partner for a lump sum and that this will be used as working capital where needed, across portfolio. In other words, RHA deal would bring on a reasonable amount of working capital - a lump sum - which would in turn support work on ZULU.
(Worthwhile also remembering another posters info regarding Brandon Hill also bringing offtake partners to PREM, i.e. bringing the market to PREM).
They are confident of CIRCUM IPO this year. Naturally, we should hear much sooner about those plans, about intentions etc. This will realise a chunk of wrong capital, enough to see ZULU to DFS - a point they made.
The company is not running out of time for anything. We do not had meaning we have creditors pushing us towards administration or sale of assets. Our cashburn at the moment is at the absolute minimum.
GR has put his own money into the company in the past and frequently and will do again if and when the need arises. He works crazy hours for the company. Lack of news is not meaning a company making no progress or at standstill.
Company believes the SP is a not reflection of where they are. Had to argue that sentiment has to change for it to improve - and for that to change, that requires news of material progress. They understand and said we'll be getting news in due course and that that could be any time but would not say on time lines.
At some point, soon, RHA and CIRCUM will be clearer and the proceeds ultimately will be driving be driving ZULU forward. This is the plan, at least what I interpreted.
Frustrated but the company are getting on with it. PREM has no debt and is not in trouble like other AIM companies might be. There is a lot going n simultaneously (RHA, CIRCUM, ZULU) - though activities have been slowed down until we have some progress with NIEEF and RHA.
So while frustrated also relieved and confident going forward. Again, these are my strong impressions but DYOR.
