Interesting no one has discussed ( that I can see )the Sept 30 option exercise cash injection

They repriced legacy Appalachian production of 3.6 MMCFFGPD to US$3.91 pec Mcf in June .... If the rest of the 9.6 MMCFGPD or 6 MMCFGPD is selling at spot in line with Appalachian prices which are selling at ~US$4.6 per MMBTU or Us$ 4.77 per MCF . The spot gas prices in the Appalachians and USA in general have risen by US$2.3 on average since June.

https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/weekly/archivenew_ngwu/2021/09_30/If the MPH gas production was marginal at best at the time of the purchase, the margin they are getting now must be well over US$2.3 per MCF for the uncontracted gas. Company now just on the current spot gas production ( excluding contracted gas, NGL , oil production and inventory sales) should be US$5 million cash flow positive annualised.
As
@Sector pointed out, their unaudited accounts stipulate the annualised from the MHP loss acquisition if done in July 2020 rather than Feb 2021 would have been $1.9 million on revenue of $15 million
View attachment 3653768 But that is based on gas, NGL prices during the period.... prices for both have almost doubled since then.
No concern for me about the ~US$ 8million well abandonment costs classed as non current liabilities as the current Kentucky legislative requirement is to abandon 10 wells a year

At an industry average of US$20-50000 per well this is a very manageable annual cost to the company .
The " fueling crypto " deal is also interesting because this lateral thinking if it transpires will have the potential to turn around disastrous loss making Colorado acquisition into a source of long term cashflow. Reactivating fallowed oil wells and using the associated gas which cannot be flared into an income stream in addition to the oil sold is a novel solution.
Having said all that, in 2 minds about this one . The MPH purchase seems to have turned out to be a master stroke, but the management " issues" are a worry. This delay in producing audited accounts is just another X in a lone line of worrying X's.
Still just watching here but the significant price increases in gas and NGL's certainly make the current ~2300 BOEPD production revenue materially cashflow positive enough to warrant closer attention.
