Trader "Also on a comparable PE ratio with peers MAD looks very over-priced,.." Let me see......MAD based on half yearly to dec sitting on a PE just over 40....AUT full year to dec, PE of approx 50.....So if MAD is overpriced on a PE ratio AUT is 25% more expensive......ROFL!!!
Check out this link for estimate PE for AUT, it is base on 8 brokers report. http://au.finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=AUT.AX Current Year(Dec 12) EPS = average 0.29 Next Year(Dec 13) EPS = average 0.58
Current Price = $3.8 Forward P/E (fye 31/12/2013): 6.66

I am not sure about MAD, they are still exploring, and I am sure they will need lots of $$$ later if want raise oil output similar to AUT.
Base on half year report, they made 8mil pre-tax profit(or 5mil after tax), so here is possible profit for full year:
10mil / 267.6mil share = 3.7c EPS (if profit is same on 2nd half 2012) 15mil / 267.6mil share = 5.6c EPS (if profit is double on 2nd half of 2012) 20mil / 267.6mil share = 7.5c EPS (if profit is tripple on 2nd half of 2012)
