RGM's present cash position?2 Dec 2017 17:02
The recent RGM annual report said that at the end of their financial year (June 30th 2017) RGM had cash of �9,176.
(1) Since then RGM sold all their UKOG shares for �1,297,700. The 10th July rns also says UKOG paid RGM an additional �54,498 in cash.
(2) 29th November RGM released an RNS to announce that they had sold their final HHDL share to ALBA. RGM received �315,000 in cash and the other half in ALBA shares. The original 18th October sale rns said: "any proposed disposal by Regency of Alba consideration shares shall be subject to a six month orderly marketing provision post-Completion"
...........
So the actual cash RGM have received these past few months: �315,000 + �54,498 + �1,297,700. Add all those 3 amounts together and added together they total �1,667,198
.........................
Out of that �1,667,198 RGM paid out �400,000 towards the Curzon energy IPO (28th sept rns). Also earlier in 8th Sept rns RGM announced that had made a $350,000 repayment towards their YA loan. So take those two payments from �1,667,198 and that pretty much leaves RGM with �1 million.
................
RGM were pretty much cashless at the end of their financial year (June 30th) and now RGM are entering into the sixth month of the new financial year. So i'm going to guestimate that around �200,000 has been spent on RGM administrative costs: so let's take that away from the �1 million and that would leave RGM with �800,000.
Now this last cash spent will be very controversial and some will tell me that it isn't true but i suspect that "Legacy hill" didn't look over Stephen Moscicki's coal projects to advise on how best to advance them, also they haven't been looking for potential new coal projects, i suspect they haven't been doing either of those free of charge. Firstly i don't believe that Legacy hill are an huge company and i believe Bell said they were brought in around May/june to look over the Moscicki coal projects because they realised Moscicki wasn't up to it. I believe mid year Bell said that LH had put in hundreds of thousands pounds worth of work coming up with a plan for the coal projects. At the time some suggested that Legacy hill were doing all this work for nothing. But even recently Bell said although he calls LH "partners" that nothing has been officially agreed with them.
So because it was RGM who first suggested Legacy hill to Moscicki i've got a sneaky feeling that all these 6 months or so of LH scouring looking for new coal mines, looking over Moscicki's mine projects and coming up with a plan: i suspect it could be costing RGM hundreds of thousands and so i wouldn't be surprised if RGMs current cash position is way less that �500,000. Some may say "POPPYCOCK" but i think it could be true.
