My recent conversations with Keith have led me to believe that there is no need to increase the AS and he does not want to. Nor do I believe we will see OS = AS unless he comes across a great acquisition opportunity after the pps increases some.
He meant it when he said that Hemi was unhappy with the stock performance.
Also, I do believe that Hemi is able to generate some additional revenue with oil other than simply selling it.
The important take away in this is:
1) that they are profitable while oil is low.
2) Still no debt.
3) current stock price is undervalued based on assets alone.
4) THE BIG ONE. The reserves. Maybe zguy, Kels, or Mur can verify but I don't think Bennett was included in the initial reserves report. If that is the case, Keith just dropped a great little gem to the shareholders paying attention. The Bennett lease alone has recoverable oil that essentially doubles the proven number in the old report. Pick any really conservative number to value that ($10, $20 per barrel) and do the math.
