RE: Current Liabilities Covered by 6x Cash8 Jul 2019 14:07
JAdam,
"..when NI try's to discuss liabilities he does not discuss timing for payment of those liabilities, he seems to leave it open as if to imply that they are this years..."
This is so true, the liabilities are ESTIMATES and based on our PSA over the next 3 years. So for purely accounting SQZ have to show the ESTIMATED amount.
Financial liabilities due to the deferred structure of the BKR deal, (note the word DEFERRED) to be paid from receivables leaving a net positive cash flow over the NEXT 3 YEARS. Note, the payment is from receivables so no risk at all is attached to the deal in real terms. Please remember we have no debt, no bondholders and no real CapEx for 2019. So we only need to buy tea and biscuits for the boardroom. Our liabilities are just estimates at time of account and will vary according to income, ie low income less liabilities we pay (as per BKR deal), simple really but clearly NI struggles with the concept. The figure quoted by NI is NOT FIXED.
As already mentioned we could end up with BP et al paying SQZ so our liabilities suddenly become ZERO, and instead the liability is transferred to BP el al.
