Quarterly Highlights Perth, April 26, 2018 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd ( <>
A Message from the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
Though discussions and negotiations related to offtake remain confidential, we believe the progress we made toward selling LNG capacity at Magnolia LNG during the third quarter of Liquefied Natural Gas Limited's (LNGL or the Company) fiscal year will prove to be extremely valuable toward finalizing sale agreements. After the end of a cold winter across key LNG import markets and a long-term outlook of demand significantly outpacing supply, we remain confident that the market continues to move in a direction advantageous to LNGL. We seek your continued understanding that offtake agreements are significant financial commitments for buyers, and therefore can become protracted.
Our commercial marketing team made four separate extended trips to Asia, which have significantly progressed our efforts there. We also remain engaged with potential European customers. Further, during the quarter, Magnolia LNG and Meridian LNG agreed to extend the financial close date of their legally binding offtake agreement to June 30, 2018.
The Company has seen an increased interest in Bear Head LNG on the Canadian East Coast as Western Canadian LNG projects have been cancelled or delayed. Discussions on agreements with producers and pipeline partners in support of advancing Bear Head toward an eventual final investment decision (FID) continues. Bear Head also continues to work to close remaining conditions associated with its completed suite of permits.
During the third quarter, LNGL undertook a robust process to analyse various options to extend our liquidity runway. We believe the process is close to completion and will report significant developments as they occur. In keeping with our promise to shareholders, we continue to manage our liquidity closely, consistent with our stated plans. We closed March 2018 with the Company's total cash position at A$27.5 million, and remain debt free.
