The Dec Qtr indicated that we have $17.106 mil in the kick and the question is will that be enough to see us cashflow positive come 30th Sept?
Let's guesstimate via assumptions:
Outgoings for Mar Qtr...............$5.639 mil (Dec Qtr Ann) ..................Income ..........Nil
Outgoings for June Qtr.............$5.639 mil (assume same as Mar Q)...Income ...........Nil
Cash at 30th June.....................$3.828 mil
Coal stockpile at port...............15,000 ton SSCC + 111,000 ton Thermal (half announced 2017 production target)
Sale of stockpile July 2017........$1.977 mil (SSCC) + $10.244 mil (thermal) = $12.218 mil AUD *
Now this is where it gets tricky. Normally payment is 60 days , so no revenue until September
with resurfacing of road to commence in , say August.
Cash @ 31st July.........= $1.948
Cash @ 31st Aug.........=$68K (without provision for road works)
So clearly we will need our first payments by the end of July; otherwise its a CR/loan.
Cashflow for the remainder of the year should be OK, IMO, even if we factor-in a few lazy million for the road upgrade.
Once we hit the 1 mil ton/year with most being coking coal, we should then hear the cash register sing !
Perhaps those with better info/better forecasting skills would like to comment.
All IMO of course.
Cheers

Assumption: SSCC @ $100 USD FOB & Thermal @ $60 USD FOB & exchange rate of 0.76.
Due to this being our first shipment with new customers, we cant expect premium pricing)
