RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Looking GoodDear Good40, If you read the definition of COSTS as outlined by the Petrol Agreement, Tax ( Profit Tax ) is paid after the cost recovery pool has been covered. What is your point? The cost recovery pool at 2011 was $253 million ( capex) . So no Profit Tax is owed, unless of course, if BNK didn't spend any money that year and they outright lied( not effing likely ) They ( ALBS) get a Royalty and excise tax irrespective of profitability. They ( BNK)sell the oil, the ALBS get their piece which totals 11% of the sale. Price of oil goes up, the more they produce, the more they sell , the bigger the actual dollars the ALBS get. When oil goes down the opposite happens, everyone gets less.
