With the quarterly reports now released I have some concerns about the current quarter in terms of cash. IMO one of the last two cash reports do not make sense. SHD, helpfully, issued a commentary on the June quarterly and I am puzzled as to why it hasn't done so for the current one as I believe it needs to. On 31 July SHD said $14M would be received in the Sept qtr but only $5.4M has been declared. The June qtr also states expenditure of $10M for production for the Sept qtr but only $3.3M has been declared in Sept qtr. The Sept qtr states for the next qtr $12.76M will be spent on exploration and evaluation and nothing on production with $1.7M cash in hand. So for the two qtrs expenditure of $22.76M for production and exploration with only $14M so far declared to be coming in. Have I missed something? The next load is not due to ship for another week but maybe they are expecting payment on this in the current qtr. Still doesn't explain the expenese figures. There are 44M options expiring before the end of year but at 32c are unlikely to be taken up unless the sp makes a dramatic move up.
