RE: Funding update RNS30 Mar 2021 11:18
Baits - or you could have posted my 10th July 2020 response to you when you weren't concerned about another raise ...and thats before the £12-£20 million finance .....your statement hasn't aged very well. Total placing is £28million plus the finance on top
Baits - Sadly the post where you stated “With so few shares out there a placing will not harm the company but make it stronger.” 604 million shares is very small for an Oil explorer and a Gas producer.So do not be afraid if there is a placing it can only help the company go forward” has been removed. It’s easy to forget with the many sagas Angus has gone through, just how much the company has raised and what has it achieved?
Angus Energy has carried out 11 placings and raised £25 million from IPO.
Investors always say an extra few months delay is fine….but look at Brockham and Balcombe both of whom have been delayed for 2 1/2 years / circa 2 years and no resolve.
Every placing has this buried in it “PROVIDE FURTHER WORKING CAPITAL FOR THE GROUP” I find this very telling.
And what has been achieved?
Brockham and Lidsey wells drilled for £3 million.
Paid £4 million to acquire 25% of Balcombe.
12.5% of Holmwood acquired for no cost - ongoing licence / legal costs only
Saltfleetby acquired for £1 and Angus received £2.5 million.
What ever happened to:
£5 million raised for Holmwood, yet they don’t even have a site yet? Where is that money now?
£3 million raised on 30th April 2019 for what actually? Work at Brockham, Balcombe and Lidsey that hasn’t taken place. Saltfleetby is a £1 acquisition with £2.5 million given to Angus by Saltfleetby Ltd to get to First Gas.
Angus Commitments:
£1 million to drill Holmwood well (not included on company accounts).
Pay 100% costs for the applications, permits plus 100% costs of EWT and FDP application for Balcombe (still ongoing).
£290,000 projected deficit at Saltfleetby to get to First Gas (in CPR)
£2million decommissioning costs at Saltfleetby (no abandonment reserve in company accounts).
£650,000 abandonment reserve account for Brockham and Lidsey
