2018 was a record year for Atlantic Carbon Group (“ACG” or “the Company”) in terms of revenue, however, our financial performance declined from 2017.

Revenue reached a new high at over $37 million against $31 million in 2017 and gross product sales increased from $29 million in 2017 to over $35 million in 2018. Anthracite product sales increased from 275,099 tons in 2017 to 310,429 tons in
2018, an increase of 12.8%. Anthracite product prices also increased from about $99/ton to over $105/ton, an increase of over 6% as the market improved during the year. The Company expects both demand and prices to continue to rise and has
seen average prices rise further during H1 2019.

The cost of sales, however, increased at a faster pace than revenue, growing from $18.6 million to $32 million, which led to a significant widening of losses from $1.6 million to $5.0 million. Operational cash costs fell from 2017 but this was more than offset by a negative change in the value of the coal inventory amounting to over $16 million. The change in inventory was primarily caused by the mining cycle of overburden removal to coal production, which was favourable in 2017 and negative in 2018, and the transition of operations from the Stockton Mine to the Wet Slope Mine.

The difficult conditions in 2018 and early 2019 strained the Company’s financial situation. The Company has implemented a new business plan in H1 2019. Existing royalty, sales and equipment debt agreements have been favourably renegotiated
and operational efficiencies are being achieved in both mining and processing operations. The Company financed the equipment and plant improvements with additional debt from its primary lender. Together with strong demand for our quality product and higher pricing, the new business plan should provide us with improved performance in H2 2019.

The Company still has high levels of debt which will need to be refinanced by May 2020. Earlier this year ACG sought to list on the London Stock Exchange by means of a reverse takeover by Daniel Stewart Securities but Daniel Stewart Securities was unable to approve the offer by the 31st March 2019 deadline and, under the
terms of the offer document, the offer lapsed. Consequently, ACG was unable to proceed further with the application to the UK Listing Authority to have the enlarged group’s share capital admitted to trading on the standard segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange PLC.

I would like to thank all the staff at ACG for their hard work during the year and also Steve Best and Adam Wilson who stepped down as Directors of the Company earlier this year

CBS News

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is plunging $500 million into an effort to close all of the nation's remaining coal plants by 2030 and put the United States on track toward a 100% clean energy economy.

Thanks Stanton. That was interesting. Promise to move from roads to railway is leading to savings and bigger shippings. Pity he didn't say about shareholders and relisting.
