Last Updated: August 16, 2010 - 8:30am EST
(NEW YORK)--Ludlow Capital issued research opinion on El Maniel International, Inc. (OTC:EMLL), a holding company within the oil and natural gas industry, with a near-term 'float lock-up' watch.
In July 2010, the Company acquired Eastern Pennsylvania Oil Terminal (www.beachhavenoilterminal.com) Through Its wholly-owned Subsidiary El Maniel Energy Ltd. The facility has potential capacity of 24 million gallons of petroleum products per year, and include five acres of land, buildings and equipment valued at over 2 million dollars. The terminal has extensive SUNOCO (NYSE:SUN) pipeline connections on site that are currently open for the delivery of fuel and is part of the SUNOCO eastern pipeline system. The Company is also planning biodiesel production at the facility to help satisfy the state’s new biofuel mandate, and currently has no debt or tax overhangs against the facility.
Share Structure and Valuation
On August 12, 2010, the Company restructured the Company to around 2.29 billion shares issued and outstanding. Of that number, 2 billion is held by insiders and is restricted and unavilable for sale in the open market based on SEC rules. Thus, the Company has a public float of around 292 million, with over 100 million traded on Friday, August 13th alone.
Taking into account the value of their Eastern Pennsylvania Oil Terminal at $2 million, and a 70% equity interest "JFK” Stamp Collection valued at $4.5 million dollars, we come up with an off-hand valuation of $6.5 million. Based on 2.3 billion shares outstanding we come up with a fair-market valuation of around $0.003 per share.
Note, this does not take into account the potential capacity of 24 million gallons of petroleum products per year, and possible facility expansion in relation to the Marcellus Shale natural gas exploration.
