This is pathetic. Todays announcement adds absolutely nothing to what PK has announced before, including of the new 7MW site. It can only be the lemmings who have only recently arrived and have done no research who can think its progress. There is still nothing of the information investors need - ie the costs, where funding is coming from, what its terms will be. An informed guess is it will have to be the same as has been announced for Hindlip - where I've shown in detail based on Mast's own figures, there will be nothing left over after repaying the loans for at least 8 years for parent co Mast to cover is own costs and fill its black balance sheet hole.
Re the balance sheet - for the benefit of Share-Trader, he doesn't know that all these plants are 'off balance sheet, including their borrowings. Already Hindlip, and Pyebridge have off-balance sheet borrowings amounting to about £6.5 million. Bordersley will add maybe another £1-2 million. The 7MW site will be similar to Hindlip - all adding up to over £10 million. That compares with parent Mast's own balance sheet, which based on the detailed half-year one published August, and warrant proceeds subsequently and Masts own overheads, I estimate will show only around £2 million net assets (down from my £4million estimate a few weeks ago) but a cash deficit of approaching £ 4 million.
No competent company would sign a deal with a company with such shaky finances. PK can boast what he likes. But none of his others have come to pass except at ruinous cost to shareholders. That has no chance of changing.
So for Share-Trader, Peter Cooke would say "Go Away. Do some Research Don't Come back"
