Re: CSS - Clean Seas Tuna
The short answer is that it won't stop anytime soon Smart.
They have been very ambiguous in their explanation for the recent Capital Raisings and if you read the accompanying documentation and the Annual Report you you will note that the last Cap Raising was to be used to fund YTK production to 1500tpa. Now they state that this new Cap Raising will fund YTK production to 1500tpa by 2015 with the aim to increase production to 3,000tpa over 5 years.....that's makes it 2020. What is important is that that don't specifically state that these funds will be used to increase to 3,000tpa...what does this mean? well, two things, firstly ,they will definitely suck more funds from investors through Cap Raisings to fund this expansion and secondly, where are these funds going as they have sucked around $ 9.6m from investors over the past 6 months just to achieve 1500tpa.......the answer is the SBT project.
This may be mothballed, but make no mistake, it requires significant expense just to keep it in this state. The Arno Bay facility is a White Elephant that needs to be completely abandoned and shut down for CSS to become truly profitable for investors. They may make a profit from YTK in the future, but I wouldn't hold out for any dividends as I believe any profits will be used to restart the SBT......just like 2005 all over again!
This reminds me of the property trust days from Babcock and Allco etc, where investors were paying for their own dividends whilst the value of the entity ( shares ) eroded to nothing.
CSS is a plaything for savvy fleet footed day traders. Long term investors, I am sad to say, will be disappointed again in my view.....a bit like ground hog day!
