Dallo.
As you know a LTH and ENET champion with a share subscription placed so you know where I think the company is heading, but come on a little balance please.
Why the hell it is a surprise to an experienced board that, within the opportunity pipeline individually and in totality that ENET have, that a company trying to contract with a multi year, multi $m contract operating at the very heart of their service operations would want to deal with a well funded company. I know you're a very senior qualified finance guy with a shed load of experience, you know this really is GCSE level stuff not advanced financial management.
For the board to then categorically state 100% (in an interim report where they have very specific legal and statutory obligations) that they are fully funded for 16 months, 16 months in this industry, - no ifs, no buts - when they are aware that clear investors are specifically looking at this specific key piece of information is problematic. I had been a fan of the very conservative IR from ENET knowing just how difficult it is to forecast a business with binary opportunities, leading edge tech in a market still in the womb - so this really stuck out.
I am of of the same opinion as you that (hopefully) there is an exceptional, unexpected level of business opportunity here developed since the interim report, which was completely and totally unforeseeable. If ENET does win big, their delivery, operational and financial management needs to be absolutely top notch.
Anyway - all speculation hopefully we will all be laughing about these conversations by the end of the year and we can all toast a virtual beer if the UK shops haven't run dry.
