The CEO and Board are very aware of the drop in Angus share price during the last 3-4 months and are fully committed to reversing the trend. We recognize that while some of the fall is linked to external factors, there has been concern about the company’s increasing debt and questions about our cash generation capability. Our increased debt position resulted from legacy cost and schedule issues which are now behind us; we are working to refinance our debt to remove the short-term, expensive debt which we were required to take on.
The Saltfleetby Field is now operating safely and reliably at production levels significantly above our committed hedge volumes. We are looking at strong free cash flow generation going forwards, once the permanent flowline from the B7 well is installed. This will allow us to pay down debt and strengthen the company’s finances. Angus is now strongly leveraged to gas prices, so any uptick in gas price as we enter the Winter months will have a big impact.
