Salary is a big expense. From the interim results:
'Mark Rollins (Chairman) and Leslie Peterkin (Chief Executive Officer) are entitled to a fixed monthly fee of $16,000 and $31,250 respectively payable in cash. Stephen West (Chief Financial Officer) is entitled to a fixed monthly fee of £16,500 payable in cash. The Non-executive directors, Ross Warner, Stephen Whyte and Larry Bottomley are entitled to a fixed monthly fee of $5,000 each payable in cash.'
Cash per the interim results at 31 October was 5.861m but there was note at the end saying:
'On 15 November 2021 and 22 December 2021, the Company received notices of cash calls amounting to $1,681,000 and $1,748,000 respectively from the associate entity Carnarvon Petroleum Timor to provide financing to cover costs relating to the Buffalo-10 well being drilled in the Buffalo field.'
That suggests cash position is $2.4m less any expenses between 1 September and now.
Salaries for 5 months for directors is about 400k.
