This is typical Stratic, we have had no RNS info for months, then you get three out of the blue, days/hours apart... they would have a better profile if they just spaced them out, the financing MUST have been concluded at the start of this month or they would be in winding-up. That makes the RNS more intruiging, no mention of Syria, it's almost like a coded message that they cannot say anything about Syria. It's plain, that if they could have said anything about Syria, they would be obliged to, well is ~110 vs 80 planned days, holders would be due an explanation as to why this is over-budget/time, it is material to SP, I think it is clear that it is going to be significant to SP so they have to have conclusive facts. We may get something like "at TD and operations continuing" just to cover the missing info here, a silence continuing is a clear indication of an imminent RNS, just not sure what is going on though, have had to resort to tea-leaf reading....
