So at end August 16 they had US$ 20.4m cash plus what ever they got from the below against a cash burn of US$ 2m per month plus the remaining payment to the Zhenshi US$8.3m.
So if Zenshi is up and running and they have had to pay the full 8.3m they would have burnt US$24.3m since September
From the Trading Statement September 2016
A significant sale of pallets, to be delivered in Q4 2016 is under signature process with a major US-based company.
The expected sale of pallets in Q4 2016 is not factored into the net monthly cash outflow of USD 2.0m and could bring additional cash inflows up to USD1.0m per month in the course of 2017, subject to the delivery schedule required by the customer.
The one-time-costs relating to the transition to China previously estimated at USD 8.8m now amount to USD 9.9m as the Group has decided to upgrade some equipment before commissioning. At the end of August, only USD 1.6m has been paid regarding these one-time-costs. (they need to find USD 8.3M ???)
Approximately 92,000 pallets were produced in Canada in the first four months of 2016.
As the Group moves toward an outsourced production model, the Group has carefully managed the inventory and the commercial deployment over the first half of 2016. 20,000 pallets have been deployed in the field, taking the total active pool size to 250,000 pallets. The pallet inventory has grown to 160,000 pallets, which will be allocated to future contracts until outsourced production starts in the course of 2017. The revenue generated by the lease activity in the first half of 2016 was USD 2.7m, which almost equals the full year 2015 rental revenue. The Group expects to contract a significant sale of pallets in the last quarter.
