If we agree there will be a placing, even for a company earning over 100ka month.
Let’s look at the financials
Cash in hand latest 4.67m
Trade other receivables 489k
Loan receivables 1.027m
Inventory 15k
Total of 6.2m in assets.
Liabilities 2.38m.
These will be drilling costs paid in advance, wages etc
Also 1.04m due to Calmar LP for wressle 12.5%.
Not included will be the 10 weeks overrun on WN testing costs at 16.6% of total outlay. Let’s add another 500k, and let’s round up to c3m in liabilities.
I am of the opinion UJO still have a few million, somewhere between 2>3m available to them.
I believe they are being prudent and covering all bases, I also think they will be looking for quick wins on any assets they buy.
First up is the investment in NS royalty, I’m guessing this 25% will cost circa 1m to 1.25m.
What I would like to know is what’s the expected return on the 27.5% in total, the yearly numbers and cash flow without the jargon and a maths degree to figure it out.
If they are going ahead and buying I would expect they have to place given they would be down to circa 1 -2m left in the coffers with further expense due on WN.
The placing will also have to cover one of the other licences, where will UJO go next
Biscathorpe side-track, Keddington or North Kelsey?.
They will need cash to progress any one of these ventures, I’m guessing the raise will be circa £5m and they will be completing side-track and one other along with progressing WN, I’m also guessing RBD will also have to raise some cash, difference is it will be done in advance of a world news broadcast.
