Zeus has doubled its 2022-23 pre-tax profit estimate to £540,000, on a 19% increase in forecast revenues to £16.5m. This indicates the operational gearing of the business. Net cash should reach £1.2m.
Helium explorer Helium One Global (LON: HE1) has selected Exalo as preferred drilling contractor because of legal problems concerning the previous contractor and drilling should start in the first quarter of 2023.

This delayed deliveries of two initial MFE 220 units, which were supposed to happen in October. One customer has cancelled the order and is going with a rival electrolyser. A redesign of the unit should cure the issues. On the current forecasts, the cash could reduce to £3m by the end of 2024 and then rise the following year, but further delays could mean the cash reduces more quickly than expected. The share price declined by 16.1% to 34p.
