RE:RE:RE:BBI's LMR in Alberta dropped well below 1 times (0.38 times)Here is a good presentation explaining the Alberta Energy Regulator's (AER) LLR program.
https://www.lawsonlundell.com/media/news/513_CAPL%20BUSINESS%20LUNCH%202016%20-%20LLR.pdf The main reason for BBI's LMR of <1.0 is due to the AER's calculation of 'deemed assets' and 'deemed liabilities':
Slide 14 in the above presentation explains that deemed assets is calculated using production for the previous 12 months times the 3-year average industry netback. Since BBI is transitioning from explorer to producer, its deemed assets will be low until it establishes a normal production history.
Slides 19 and 22 in the presentation also provides some good info on the calculation of deemed liabilities. New wells do not attract deemed liabilities until 12 calendar months from its finished drilling date (I believe this applies to BBI's first couple of wells) and new facilities do not attract deemed liabilities until first reported throughput, which has recently occurred.
Therefore, not a significant cause for concern as any security deposit required (which can be satisfied by a letter of credit as per slide 38) should be immaterial in relation to BBI's topped up cash balance from the recent share issuances.
