Luca Benedetto, Chief Financial Officer of Zenith, commented:
"We are pleased to publish our unaudited half-year results which provide clear evidence of the positive financial transformation the Company has undergone following its acquisition of a highly prospective oil and gas production and development portfolio in Tunisia comprised of the Robbana, El Bibane and Ezzaouia concessions.
The Company has significantly improved its balance sheet when compared to last year, when there was comparatively limited revenue generation. It is to be underlined that it has done so during a particularly challenging period for global economies caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has demonstrated the resilience of the management team in its uninterrupted travel to various jurisdictions across the African continent with the goal of successfully developing Zenith.
Zenith currently generates more revenue than at any prior stage in its history and it is our expectation that the next audited annual results will more comprehensively showcase the Company's very positive performance, which will be further strengthened by way of the recently announced acquisition of a 22.5% interest in the Sidi El Kilani concession from CNPC, as well as other potential near-term acquisitions in the Republic of the Congo and elsewhere.
I take the opportunity to thank shareholders for their commitment to the Company, and we look forward to providing further information on our progress in due course."
