I've posted this before and will again:
Here are some facts for you:
1) The Tweet "yesterday" marked the first Turkey update since 12th May (the tweet on the 31st was deleted). Hardly fast progress.
2) The $5m capped costs for the "initial" drill in Turkey. Note the word "initial", be careful reading UKOG RNS's as they are selective in what they share and "initial" means just that, i.e. there will be further costs.
3) UKOG only had £1.6m cash left at end of Sept 2020, and raised £2.2m on Oct 2nd. Giving them a balance of £3.8m cash at of early Oct.
4) HH oil production is dropping like a stone, and the water cut has increased. Water disposal costs will be eating into profits. Will the price of Brent serve to offset the water disposal costs, or will the monthly losses incurred by UKOG in running UK operations worsen?
5) Burn rate in the results posted end of Sept 2020 show a loss of £266k per month, that's quite bad. That is a fact, it's not made up, it's all there in the accounts, you have never provided a counter argument on that point.
6) Its now close to 9 months since the end of Sept. 9 * £266k loss = £2.4m loss. Leaving just £1.4m of the cash that they had in Oct. Extrapolated figured of course, but unless you can demonstrate the UK overheads have suddenly dropped or that HH is producing a lot more oil and less water, then you cannot argue against that point.
7) AME will not take confetti or IOU's, UKOG will have tried that and AME will be wise to the games. Why wouldn't AME take confetti if the drill was nailed on? Why would AME look for 100% funding for the first well if it was nailed on?
8) UKOG need to pay AME ~£3.6m, have they even paid £1m yet? Where is the rest of the cash coming from?
9) The 2 resolutions at the GM allow UKOG to issue a further 8 BILLION shares, thats a huge dilution on the existing 13 BILLION shares.
10) Interim results due next week, lets see what the cash position and burn rates were from 1st Oct to 31st March, bet they make for very poor reading.
But, sure, if you are here as part of the P&D squad, you don't want to read the above, you'll shy away from a proper debate, and just call me a naysayer.
