BBY maintains its BUY recommendation on Linc Energy Limited (LNC) after the company announced that it had raised A$28.3M through the issue of 37.3M shares at A$0.76/sh.

The majority of the funds raised will be applied to:
(i) the 20,000 barrel per day GTL Bankable Feasibility Engineering Study (A$9M);
(ii) Working Capital (A$7.8M);
(iii) a 5mW gas turbine power unit (A$3.6M); and
(iv) Exploration Activities (A$2M).

The additional funds will also allow LNC to expand its other national project in South Australia, as well as international projects in Vietnam, India and China. We understand that LNC’s funding requirements are now satisfied through to early CY09. We have slightly lowered our DCF valuation to A$1.49/sh (prev A$1.51/sh) to take into account the dilution from the capital raising. However, our share price target has been increased to A$1.25/sh (prev A$1.00/sh). We believe that, post the capital raising, LNC’s share price should continue to appreciate in the lead up to completing construction of the pilot GTL plant expected by the end of CY07.
