About ADM Energy PLC
ADM Energy PLC (AIM: ADME; BER and FSE: P4JC) is a natural resources investing company with an existing asset base in Nigeria. ADM Energy holds a 9.2% profit interest in the oil producing Aje Field, part of OML 113, which covers an area of 835km(2) offshore Nigeria. Aje has multiple oil, gas, and gas condensate reservoirs in the Turonian, Cenomanian and Albian sandstones with five wells drilled to date.
ADM Energy is seeking to build on its existing asset base in Nigeria and target other investment opportunities across the West African region in the oil and gas sector with attractive risk reward profiles such as proven nature of reserves, level of historic investment, established infrastructure and route to early cash flow.
Operating Review
ADM continued to make progress on its strategy to build a multi-asset portfolio by targeting projects with highly attractive risk-reward profiles. In particular, the six months to 30 June 2021 marked the first full period since the Company consolidated its position in OML 113, increasing ADM's profit interest from 5% to 9.2%, and resulted in a significantly higher rate of net production.
The Company was active in pursuing new opportunities and extended its MOU with global trading house Trafigura Pte Ltd ("Trafigura"). Post period, the ADM further strengthened its Board and technical team with the appointment of Oliver Andrews as Non-executive Chairman and Dr Babatunde Pearse as Chief Engineer.
OML 113 - Aje Field
In the six months to 30 June 2021, oil production continued from two wells at the Aje Field (Aje-4 and Aje-5) at an average of 1,360 bopd (H1 2020: 2,126 bopd). Total gross production volume amounted to approximately 246,240 barrels of oil. Following the completion of the transaction with EER (Colobos) Nigeria Limited ("EER") in December 2020, the Company benefitted from an increased 9.2% profit interest in the field. As a result, the net rate of production attributable to ADM increased to 167 bopd (H1 2020: 106 bopd).
In April 2021, the Company announced the completion of the 15th Lifting at the Aje Field for a total of 225,000 barrels (52,000 barrels were left in the tank). In this first Lifting since ADM consolidated its interest in the Aje Field, the Company received a net share of 27,675 barrels, which equated to ADM's paying interest of approximately 12.3%. The proceeds of the Lifting were applied against the project debt, significantly reducing the outstanding balance.
Superdielectrics
In May 2021, the Company completed the sale of 188,778 shares in Superdielectrics Ltd ("Superdielectrics") for a total consideration of GBP829,501, a profit of GBP656,00 on ADM's original investment. The sale followed a funding round by Superdielectrics in October 2020 that valued ADM's total holding at GBP877,500, representing a total book profit of GBP677,625 and an increase in value of approximately 340%. ADM retains a holding of 6,222 shares in Superdielectrics following the sale.
OML 141 - Barracuda Field
In March 2021, the Company acquired an indirect interest in a Risk Sharing Agreement ("RSA") for the development of the Barracuda Field. Located in OML 141, the Barracuda Field is an existing discovery and near-term production asset, which covers 103 km(2) in the swamp/shallow waters of the Niger Delta. The Company has commissioned a Competent Person's Report ("CPR") on the Barracuda Field. ADM has received a draft of a preliminary report however it is not yet finalised pending further technical appraisal. Once finalised, ADM will be in a better position to conclude the full CPR report as well as its strategy for the Barracuda field.
Extension of Trafigura MOU
Access to capital is a key competitive advantage for ADM and supports the Company's strategy to acquire undervalued assets and unlock value. In January 2021, the Company announced a 12-month extension to its indicative MOU with Trafigura, the multi-billion-dollar global trading house. The intention is to create a strategic alliance where ADM will act as the sponsor for investment opportunities, with Trafigura providing up to US$100 million in approved project finance as well as up to US$20 million of convertible loan notes. The Company has engaged Trafigura on a number of potential deals to date and this extension is a reflection of the strong relationship between both parties.
Corporate Developments
Post period, the Company appointed Oliver Andrews as the new Non-executive Chairman following the departure of Peter Francis due to personal circumstances. Mr Andrews is the former Chief Investment Officer at the Africa Finance Corporation, one of the largest investment funds in Africa. Over the last 35 years, he has overseen investments of approximately US$10bn and originated investments deals in natural resources and infrastructure across the continent, worth US$100bn.
In addition, ADM further bolstered its technical team to advance the Company's existing assets and evaluate new prospects. Having last year enlisted non-Board advisors, Darrell McKenna and Dr Satinder Purewal as Lead Technical consultants, the Company appointed Dr Babatunde Pearse, as Chief Engineer post period. Dr Pearse is an industry veteran with an extensive background with International Oil Companies ("IOC"s). He is primarily responsible for planning the next phase of the Aje development and oversees Front End Engineering Design ("FEED") studies to support the Final Investment Decision.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEARLY REPORT
1. The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The group's statutory financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020, prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as used in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. The interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagement 2410 issued by the Auditing Practices Board.
Going concern
At 30 June 2021, the Group recorded a loss for the period of GBP1,599,000 and had net current liabilities of GBP4,318,000 after allowing for cash balances of GBP137,000.
The Directors have prepared cashflow forecasts for the period to 30 September 2022 to assess whether the use of the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. In the short term, the Group will require further additional funding in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due and continue to operate as a going concern. The Directors have taken into consideration the level and timing of the Group's working capital requirements (which takes into account recent reductions in costs and control of discretionary spending to preserve cash flow) and has also considered the likelihood of successfully securing funding to meet these needs. In particular, consideration has been given to ongoing discussions around further third-party investment and the extent to which these discussions are advanced both in respect of short and longer term funding. The Directors acknowledge that while they have an expectation that funding will be secured based on this assessment, at the date of approval of these financial statements, no such funding has been unconditionally committed. Therefore, while the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has the ability to raise the additional finance required in order to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, the uncertainty surrounding the ability and likely timing of securing such finance indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Were no such funding to be secured, the Group would have no realistic alternative but to halt operations and prepare its financial statements on a non-going concern basis.
2. Earnings per share
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue.
