· Revenues of €4.5m and EBITDA of €0.3m reported for the 6 month period

· Implementation of a solid logistics strategy which facilitates delivery of smallholder feedstock to the Mill – logistics hubs will be established on an on-going basis

· Production for the first half of operations to June 2014 stood at 7,932 tonnes of CPO and 1,311 tonnes of kernels

· Two further off-take agreements with domestic customers – the Company now has three in place in line with its strategy to secure a diversified, local sales book

· Successfully executing strategy to increase its institutional shareholder base

· Operating in a highly dynamic corporate environment – West Africa continues to attract the attention of major palm oil developers looking to secure future expansion

· Strongly placed for growth with a defined growth strategy in place

DekelOil Executive Director Lincoln Moore said, “The first six months of the year have been highly fruitful for DekelOil and I am pleased to report that we met our key objectives during the period.
