Shareholders again forced the board of Union Jack Oil (UJO) to withdraw a plan, that is to say to allow it to issue warrants, and now the company faces another problem. And now, following news today of a duster of a well in the USA, its shares are now 3.3p-3.5p but par value is 5p. And that means it simply cannot issue new shares since its funding only ever comes from deeply discounted placings and you cannot issue shares below par.

Surely, as Wishbone Gold (WSBN) shares head ever more rapidly towards 0.1p par, it will be time for yet another share consolidation? Because today’s placing raising £250,000 gross at 0.2p will not be the last, it is just one of so many that I have lost count.. Wishbone really has issued new shares more times than I have had inappropriate thoughts about Cheryl Cole.

I appear to have overlooked the fact that par value for shares in Versarien (VRS) is 1p. That means that new shares cannot be issued at below that whatever the company says about being able to issue equity. As of today, after the most recent dismal warning, the bid is…1p. Clearly any placing would have to be at a massive discount so what gives?

20 months ago with its shares approaching 0.1p par Vast Resources (VAST) did a 100-1 share consolidation, telling its credulous shareholders that this was to help it pay a dividend. No sniggering at the back please. A series of fund raises and ongoing operational failure later, the shares are now 0.17p-0.19p. That is a major issue as Vast is again almost out of cash. This time that could be fatal. We are in a nuclear winter for small caps.
