Net asset position, page-17

Thanks Jimmy C. Appreciate the time you took to reply. Agree - it is possibly getting interesting here. I love a good fire sale - but not sure I'm charging in just yet.

Having now read a bit more about BLA, it is interesting to note Glaucus' implied market cap of AUD256m (AUD3.33 per share on 77m shares) in their 'rebuttal report', which they get to by:

* AUD187m (0.13x Glaucus' AUM estimate of AUD1.464bn); plus
* AUD100m being the proceeds of the capital raise; less
* AUD33m debt

Glaucus then applies a discount to get their target share price of AUD2.66.

That valuation gives zero for pre-capital raise cash (if any), investments and accrued earnings. I get the criticisms that have been made of the investments and accrued earnings- but 'zero' is possibly too aggressive.

Now, of course, we have the incredible damage that recent events and announcements have caused to BLA's brand. That's very hard to value - but if it were possible to ignore it for long term purposes and assume that BLA will survive long term - on Glaucus' 0.13x AUM metric, if there is some value in the balance sheet in addition to the capital raise proceeds, we're probably close to a fair value at $4.

My guess is that there is time to await the AUM report(s) before jumping in.
