The facts6 Oct 2024 20:01
This is being heavily 'promoted' across X all weekend by the usual accounts. I can only guess, in my opinion, that they are hoping that they convince enough of the masses with their 'SP could be £1+' rhetoric, so let's look at the facts
EnergyPathways was admitted to AIM and raised circa £2,000,000 (before costs) on 23 December 2023
As at 30 June 2024, the Company had a cash balance of £1,173,492.
So in 6 months they had spent £826,508 in 6 months or on average £137,751 a month.
There has already been 3 months since the 30th June so, on average, another £412,253 spent
So around £761,239 left (on average)
This money was spent by "a great deal of desktop work has been undertaken through the period to progress the MESH Project from concept into reality."
So now they have £5,100,000 drawdown at 12%; Interest is charged on drawn down amounts at a fixed rate of 12.5% per annum and is payable monthly.
EnergyPathways currently expects that Final Investment Decision (FID) for the MESH project will be late 2025, with first energy supply commencing in 2027.
"As our MESH Project workstreams accelerate, so too will our spending" Chairman statement interim report
So let's put all that together
EPP won't even know if this is going ahead until late 2025, and it won't generate an revenue from energy supply until 2027. Put it bluntly it has no revenue for another 2-3 years.
EPP has around £761,239 left (on average) left but spending is going to increase, so at some point (before Christmas?) EPP will likely drawn down an amount.
EPP has no revenue. Once drawn down EPP will need to service the drawdown by paying back an amount monthly along side the accelerated spending.
So the drawdown repayment will come from the drawdown money, eating it away quicker. The accelerated spending will come from the drawdown, eating it away quicker. EPP spent over £800,000 in 6 months on desk top activities, How much do you think they are going to spend in 6 months once they are paying back the drawdown and the accelerated spending. They haven't even started on the capex of building infrastructure to get the gas out to begin to sell in 2027. How long does anyone actually think it will take EPP to burn through £5,100,000?
Does anyone actually believe knowing the debt servicing, the capex of building infrastructure, the salaries, listing fees, on and on, that the £5,100,000 will last until 2027 (revenue generating date)?
Let's see what happens 8am tomorrow, will the facts prevail?
