1st Half, 2018 Update

  • US 1 facility construction on track
  • Aquifer production and disposal wells construction completed. Saltwater productions wells casing set at 1,170 ft and 1,750 ft, respectively. Injection well casing set at 2,705 ft.
  • Commencement of fresh water operations with first eggs scheduled for Q4 2018
  • Post-smolt facility expected to be in operation from Q3 2019
  • Steady state harvest projected in Q3 2020, in line with 2018 beginning of year forecast.
  • Outlook for US project capex is estimated to increase US\$ 15M, impacting total required funding by US\$ 11M for the period until steady state US production. In addition, US\$ 4M in projected capex is deferred to 2H 2020 when the company is expected to be generating positive cash flow. The additional capex is related to (i) increased water quality management, (ii) increased aquaculture process data collection, and iii) increased civil engineering (additional wells for water cooling). These factors are expected to reduce operating risk significantly, as well as expenses, (or increase production capacity on a risk adjusted basis - which management is not electing to pursue). In addition, higher than expected construction material costs and regulatory related costs also contributed to the increase.
