Latino, the £1.76M was before costs, so strip 10% out if that for starters.
The original forecasts had Baita generating +ve cashflow by August (?) - and that's not including VASTs corporate costs.
They've now admitted that they are a way off profitability at the asset level, while trying to work round the dangerous friable zone - they don't yet know how isolated that area is.
So while production is lower (they've admitted that due to the smaller diameter drives) they still have the higher cost base of the extra employees (plus their training time/costs)
They wont be swimming in cash, more like bleeding it - how fast is the unknown, but what is obvious is that they wont have between $6.5 and $7 million bucks to pay Atlas in January. Either massive placement causing dilution or a partner buying (dilution by a different name) is the only way out
