    What is wrong with SP of NXS when compared to AWE?

    NXS has:
    - 4mmboe of annualized production (when LT is at 100%)
    - 1 medium scale development project ready
    - 1 appraisal project
    - a number of exploration targets.
    - net debt of about A$265m
    - 2P reserves of 122mmboe
    - Market Cap of A$306m

    AWE has:
    - ~7mboe of prod
    - Near-field extensions although only 1/2 firmed-up.
    - No development projects on the go.
    - About to blow $175m of exploration.
    - Net cash of about A$315m
    - 2P reserves of 69mmboe
    - Market Cap of A$1360m

    OK, so deduct AWE cash from MCap of AWE = A$1045m. All things being equal, this value should be relative to reserves. (Some may have another method but I will stick with this.) Therefore, AWE is being valued at A$15.14/bbl.

    NXS has MCap of A$561 when you add-in debt. Therefore, NXS is being valued at A$4.60/bbl of reserves. If we took AWE reserves value/bbl of A$15.14 against NXS, we would have a MCap of A$1582m (as reduced for debt of A$265). Apply a discount factor of 25% for poor management form, low market sentiment and minimal financial capability and we should have an NXS MCap of A$1186m which would equal an SP of about $1.26/share...


    Question is AWE running the numbers on NXS at the moment?

    Surely they would pay at least $0.60 share and take them out...who would sell at this price?
