Tobin, your figures makes sense. We havent seen any sign of new investments since Q1, and after the final settlement with the tax authorities in early April. Thats why I argue they still sit at MGBP 11,7 in cash. During Q2 they have paid a dividend of MGBP 1,8 to their major shareholders from a group entity owned 80/20 which they now are merging with NORTH. This could also be the main reason why they sold +5 mill shares in TXP in Q2 - to keep their cash balance more or less unchanged after the dividend.
TXP came as a surprise 3-4 years ago, and they may pull something like that out of the hat one more time, but I expect that their assets as of today looks like something like this:
+ Cash MGBP 11,7
+ TXP MGBP 9,3
+ REACH MGBP 4,4
+ IOX shares MGBP 0,27
+ IOX Bonds MGBP 0,6
= Total assets MGBP 26,7
Total shares 119 million each GBP 0,22
Last closing at OSX GBP 0,12
As you will appreciate this is now historic in that the shares in Reach and Touchstone shares have risen, as have North Energy, but a LONG way to go to catch up with the asset value.
Norb if you get the chance to do an update, it would be much appreciated by all, thank you.
I think that lots more TXP Investors will follow us, especially if (when) Chinook hits gas!!!
