Aje Field, OML 113 ("Aje")
· ADM continues to work with the Aje Partners to progress development plans for the Aje Field while continuing discussions related to the monetisation of its interest in Aje.
At the end of period under review, the Company had £66,000 in cash and cash equivalents. Within the period, both the JKT and the Vega investments began to distribute cash to the Company, and whilst the Board remains confident of the performance of its portfolio of investments, the Company is currently in a constrained capital position. As such, the Directors remain committed to continually and carefully monitoring the working capital position of the Company going forwards.
Stefan Olivier, CEO of ADM Energy, said: "The investments in JKT and Vega represent the next phase of the rebuilding of ADM. We now have interest in two profitable businesses with significant room for near- and long-term growth and expansion.
We believe these two businesses will drive ADM to a cash flow positive position as we start 2025 and are excited about future plans that will be shared with the market in due course."
