Celtic Play11 Mar 2015 06:58
Fastnet undertook $20M of 3d seismic on the celtic licence and in 2014 had a number of interested parties lined up for a farm in partner to be announced by the end of the year... obviously then oil prices tanked and so all the majors cut out from the process hence the RNS stating they were considering a cash return to shareholders (which quite frankly is an easy 40% return from todays levels anyway)... Carol Law was then also appointed CEO with the view to lean up the company, cut cost and get the farm in process ball rolling again and also look at potential acquisitions, she has stated she wants shareholder value returned and she is a seasoned professional in the O&G industry (Presentation she made you will find a link on one of the previous posts)
... The shareprice has been grossly oversold now IMO and this is a share im happy to wait in until value is realised due to its strong cash and asset position and low cash burn it will see higher days... its also worth noting that before the oil price crash that they stated they hoped to recover all of the $20M that they spent on the 3d seismic from the farm in partner, obviously now oil plays look less attractive to big majors but now with oil price stabilizing some majors may start seizing the opportunity again and that another reason why this is now looking cheap.
Cash burn rate this will still have more cash than current MC for at least another 2 years at current levels so you are potentially risk free here for the next two years, again this is ignoring any of the assets!
Funny how people can say that a company with more cash than its MC, 3 times as much value in its assets than its MC and zero zebt is "fooked". Interesting.. bordering on funny.
