all AIM company placings have that statement referencing working capital, cannot think of one which doesn't (usual policy)...but for completeness Mr M, the last placing RNS to did actually say this..
"to raise gross proceeds of £500,000 (the ‘Placing’), which will be used to complete the Mayan Drilling Fluids remediation plant while retaining adequate working capital and flexibility to consider other strategic opportunities available to the Company"
and in the same RNS it said this:
"To this end, Northcote is in discussions with US based providers of services to the downstream oil and gas sector regarding various potential business opportunities, joint ventures or potential acquisitions for purposes of addressing the opportunities in Mexico."
(I favour a JV.)
If as blingybird says, a company uses placing funds to accelerate an opportunity then that has to be good for shareholders. Not rocket science. We have since been told that the Mayan plant is in production, so there you have a good and very current example of placings fund putting the company in position to generate revenues.
