IF one put pmo and enquest side by side. Pmo in 2018 had revenue of 1.397 musd profit after tax of 133.4 kusd. It had assets of 5.614 musd and liabilities of 4.588 musd . They have a Mcap of 833.7 mgbp. Enquest had revenue of 1.298 musd profit after tax of 127.3 kusd. It had assets of 5.662 musd and liabilities of 4.678 musd. They have a Mcap of 362 mgbp. Nevertheless, pmo improved its shareholder equity by 410 musd whereas enquest only improved by 223 musd including 135 musd from us shareholders. IF we remove that then equity only improved by 88musd. I guess that strengthens l3 analysis of the fiddling of the numbers. I guess then although net debt improved by 220 musd then most of that improvement was shifting of debt from 2018 to 2019. I think analysts are looking to find a significant conversion of higher production and brent to real debt reduction...
