I reckon MB and team will be fighting hard to get things on track, but I cant see through a few significant issues here: 1] Guys like Finbar are now up in the Pilbara 2] The big construction engineers (Deccies and Co.) get their dongas out of Thailand 3] There has been a major cash shortage in this business so you have to wonder how the rental donger fleet has been maintained (maintenanance is always the first casualty in a tight cash environment regardless of the industry) 4] Possible artificial run down of stock / inventory, as such this cannot recur next half and will likely reverse some and become an absorbtion of cash 5] The recent cap raise has been committed to payoff contractual defaults and not to expand the business 6] With this recent bank breach the bank'll probably want more cash as well. 7] Worst of all is the loss from operations, their costs have increased dramatically, as such can they make any money out of the contracts they are now completing - doubt it. Based on such a precarious financial position it will impact on ability to win future work as well. Merge or JV or raise more ?
