good news, page-29

Here's something for Lucky Country after he posted this the other day:

"The question is will EXE want its options exercised ?

Early cashflow from Katherine, JV with CNOOC and already cash in the bank see's EXE in a good position why dilute more at 10c e=why not wait till say 30c then capital raise.

Just my thoughts !!!"

From the last Annual report starting page 15

This does not include anything senior management may hold as only the board are legally obliged to disclose their holding. Nevertheless.....

back to your original question Lucky :

"The question is will EXE want its options exercised ?"

I may best answer by borrowing and modifying a quote from fictitious English Prime Minister Jim Hacker.....

Get them by their wallets and their hearts and minds will follow.

It is always encouraging when the board owns such a large slice of a company as there is plenty of incentive to get it right.
