I hold AMU and have tried to model the Kanas sale implication for its remaining Texas holdings as well as the cash. Here my best calc guess below
Implications of AMU Kansas sale to ASX listed IMP(Imperial) Dec10 Estimated Texas Sale Value $80,000,000 $- $80,000,000
$- Texas Value $80,000,000 Cash $30,138,662 Total Value $110,138,662
Shares O/S 300,288,855 Implied NTA $0.367
Might be wishfull thinking on my part but when you read Hartleys latest comments (on AMU site 24 Dec10) regarding the Kansas sale they like me are a little confused about the Kansas sale and seem to think it may have been given away cheaply. Also the purchase seems very please with the quality of their purchase and at the price- Imperial Oil & Gas (ASX IMP). Accordingly I have start to research IMP and its looks better with Kansas purchase plus MACQ aere happy to fund Kansas purchase for them.
