The solar business is putting me off adding at the moment. The current net asset position looks to be around £10.7M and after the solar loan that leaves around £6.5M. Moreover, the pipeline of projects for the solar business will require funding if they get the go ahead and given they look much bigger than the first project will likely require much more than the $6M ECO has provided so far. I realise ECO has said these projects will be funded through the subsidiary, but with 70% of the business owned by ECO I worry that ECO shareholders will be stumping up extra cash or indirectly taking on more debt to pay for it all. Even if no more cash is required form this quarter, £6.5M is a measly sum to be going into a 2 well drilling campaign. Sort out these issues and I'd be much more inclined to add, but as it is I'm worried about a discounted placing.
