Operational update, Subscriptions to raise £75,000 and Directors’ Dealings

AAA is pleased to announce that it has raised £75,000, through a placing of 15,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 0.5p per Placing Share (the “Placing Price”), among Directors, a related trust and an investor (the "Placing").

The proceeds of the Placing will be used to support working capital requirements at the Company’s subsidiary, Dynamic Intertrade, during a period of expansion of Dynamic Intertrade’s business through diversification of both its product range to higher margin products, and its client base.

Operational update

Since the beginning of the year we have re-positioned Dynamic Intertrade’s trading activities to include blended spice mixes and seasonings and expanded our existing processing capabilities. The Placing will facilitate the trading benefits. The Placing was supported by two Directors and an investor who had previously expressed interest in supporting the Company.

Neil Herbert, Non Executive Chairman of the Company commented:

“Following the 2015 relocation of AAA's wholly owned spice and seasonings business to a modern and fully certified food processing facility in Cape Town, the focus of the new management team is to expand both the client base and enhance the product range with higher margin products to meet growing demand. We look forward to an exciting year for the spice and seasonings business and we are actively reviewing other potential food business acquisitions for AAA.”
