back of the *** packet calcs22 Nov 2023 07:48
during 2021 the company raised $21.6m for its two well campaign. following that campaign, as of 31 december 2021 the company had a cash balance of $9.7m. less the $584,000 net cash balance prior to these raises the entire operational costs and related activities during that period of 12 months for a rig that was not owned at that time (implying a higher net cost to the business) was $11.3m.
as of the 30th june 2023 the companies cash position was $9.6m and they raised $7.9 in september 2023 leaving an approximate balance of $17.5m.
as such not knowing the cost of the respected rig, but appreciating that outside of repairs the day rate of the rig net to he1 is likely to be substantially less than the $11.3m incurred over a 12 month operational period in 2021.
assuming the same net cost, rough back of *** packet calculations would imply a $6.2m closing balance worst case scenario not taking the cost of purchase of rig into consideration, or the reduced net day rate cost of running the rig.
as such i think the company is far from running out of money at this point. draw your own conclusion with information available to you, you can certainly pick the bones out of this. but thought it was a better way of accessing the situation than just throwing out random insults.
all imo.
