ADM Energy plc Announces First Production At Altoona Lease ADM Energy PLC announced the initiation of production at the SPI-1 well at the Altoona Lease, Kern County, California (the "Lease"). Investment Update On 17 April 2025, the Company announced that the Board had decided to transfer the ownership of the Lease to its 100% owned investee company Vega Oil and Gas LLC ("VOG"), as a part of an investment restructuring to better manage the Company's onshore U.S. oil and gas investments. Further to the announcement, the Company has invested USD 100,000 to buy out the underlying oil and gas lease from the previous lease holder (the participation of the Company was previously via farm-in). The purchase of the lease includes in-place equipment and infrastructure including five new pump jacks and a new 150-barrel storage tank. Following completion of the investment, the SPI-1 well was put into production on 18 April 2025. As of 16 May 2025, the SPI-1 well has now produced approximately 90 barrels of oil or an average of approximately 3 barrels per day. The initial USD 150,000 of the USD 750,000 total sum from the farm-out consortium has been escrowed and will be used to fund the remainder of Phase 1. VOG is currently working with its partners to plan Phase 2 of the work program which will consist of the deepening of two wells in order to test deeper potential pay zones that are also currently producing in a neighbouring lease that is operated by Chevron (USA). As noted in the announcement on 17 April 2025, the remaining USD 600,000 has been deposited into escrow and will be released upon completion of necessary pre-drill regulatory and technical work, and will be utilised to facilitate Phase 2.

Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders.

All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Revenue has declined by 96% over the past year. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (70% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£62k revenue, or US$79k).

New Risk • Jun 29
New major risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$1m in revenue. Total revenue: UK£662k (US$837k) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-UK£981k free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 8.1% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£662k revenue, or US$837k). Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£1.66m market cap, or US$2.10m).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of British stocks, typically moving 7.4% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 19% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£1.94m market cap, or US$2.47m). Minor Risks Latest financial reports are more than 6 months old (reported June 2022 fiscal period end). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.4% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (45% increase in shares outstanding).
