Notes to Editors
In October 2014 the Company acquired the entire issued capital of Ardan Logistics Kenya, a cash generative support services business which generated unaudited revenues for the six month period ended 30 June 2014 of US$20.6 million and which has an established client list of major international oil & gas and mining companies operating in East Africa.
Atlas Development's three core divisions are delineated as follows:
· Atlas Technical: civil engineering, workforce accommodation and construction
· Atlas Services: medical and facilities management
· Atlas Logistics: fuel solutions, storage and transportation
Through these three core divisions, Atlas Development provides turn-key support for a range of major energy and natural resource exploration and development companies operating across East Africa. The market opportunity for a company such as Atlas Development remains highly attractive, and the Board believe there is considerable opportunity to leverage the Company's established position to further capitalise on the rapidly growing energy and natural resource exploration and development industry in Kenya.
