Is this really sitting at 50% of NTAs? The last time it was like this they came out with the SOA.
As of the last AR, net asset backing per share was 97c, net tangible asset backing per share was 92c - so yes at todays price of 46c, exactly 50% of NTA. Even if looked at just the cash NZO hold (excluding any cash that Cue holds), it is roughly 28.5cps and growing.
In respect of the NTA, it is how those oil & gas assets are valued.
BUT, what is the plan for generating wealth for (minor) shareholders?? No divvies, and shareprice going nowhere (even during an oil & gas boom) because it appears to be run for the benefit of major shareholder, who don't have much/any regard for minorities. Now primary listing on the ASX, but little/no interest.
Half year report comes out in about 3-4 weeks.
Minorities, what minorities?
Interesting that a retiring officer of the company has recently made a statement that includes his being proud "of what we have achieved" including planning and executing M&A country entries including U.S. deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
Further, NZOG states that it has a full portfolio of exploration and production interests in including the United States.
Why is it that minority shareholders have been told nothing of this development?
It is sitting as you say-but the nta is from last year .
The sp is roughly four times last years net profit per share.
80% of gas is sold on fixed long-term contracts at around$5 Gj.
As these roll off they are being replaced by $20 plus contracts .
Hence I expect net profit pa will be close to the sp soon-unless the sp shoots up.
My view is the low sp is partly due to little insight when dividends will restart -or another method of returning cash
AJ is determined to make good use of cash reserves and cash flow-he tells me it will not sit in bank accounts but be used for good value investments and surplus returned
Hopefully us minority holders will one day get something, gosh even if its just enough to buy one of these oft- mentioned Perth lobsters AJ and the others seems to like feasting on. And to pay for the gas to cook it with..too much to ask?
Or should I open another tin of tuna and forget the whole thing..
Been burnt on this one before .. once burnt very shy :)
A tin of tuna might have more bounce based on past playbooks
it's surprising this outfit haven't packed up shop & disappeared off to some obscure
corner of ASX
You can only invoke minority shareholder rights if the major shareholder gets over 90% of the shares and are at the compulsory acquisition stage. If they decide to move the company to the ASX or wherever, minority shareholders are still just minority shareholders and have the same rights as now.
But as NZO is a NZ company registered with the NZ companies office, they cannot actually go anywhere and must have a NZ based director and NZ based address.
