Chairman’s report

Highly Esteemed Shareholders, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 35th Annual General Meeting of your Company.

Oba Aremu Adedotun Chairman

The year 2011 proved to be a difficult year for most developed economies as they battled with their never-ending feud with the sovereign debt crisis and double-dip recession. Ironically, developing nations such as Nigeria championed the cause for global recovery, recording impressive economic growth figures. Expansions in oil and gas, agriculture, wholesale and retail sectors contributed to an impressive growth of 7.2%, making Nigeria amongst the fastest-growing economies globally. We have every reason to look back at the year with pride on the achievements of our company in a year where companies all around the world have battled to grow their earnings. Our strategy to lay more emphasis on the high margin upstream produced dividends with the sector contributing significantly to profitability.

7.2%

7.2% growth - making Nigeria amongst the fastest-growing economies globally.

Global Economy

The long-awaited global economic recovery put on several changing faces during the year. 2011 had been heralded as the year to set the stage for a modest global rebound by dealing with issues bordering on broken financial infrastructure, high unemployment, and huge debt overhang. However, contagious political instability in oil-rich regions as well as natural disasters added to the pending downside issues experienced globally. While most developed economies continued their never-ending battle with recession, the case of the Eurozone presented a more daunting challenge, as it triggered a debt crisis, first with its poster child, Greece, as well as Ireland and Portugal. However, much effort has been put in place to strengthen the overall framework of the region such that a post-crisis Europe would be stronger to drive global growth. Notwithstanding these identified downsides, all was not lost in 2011 as emerging market economies recorded impressive growth figures thereby cushioning the sloth in developed economies. This shift in balance of power was further evidenced by calls for China to bail Europe out of its debt crisis. There, however, remains the fear that a bust in any of the fast-growing economies arising from overheated financial, property and commodity markets, among others, could crystallize another round of contagion that the global economy will have to grapple with. Crude oil prices stayed well above $100 per barrel for most of the year.

19

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Chairman’s report Continued

$100 Crude oil prices stayed well above $100 per barrel for most of the year.

Nigeria

Nigeria stands as one of the emerging market economies that have shown resilience and maintained impressive economic growth despite the global crisis; however, “resilience” is one of those words that should be used with caution, given the apparent linkages within the global economy. As evidenced in the 2008 financial crisis, there are downside risks to growth and revenues, specifically in terms of weaker demand for exports. Implementation of austerity measures in developed markets implies reduced crude oil demand and price, posing threats to Nigeria’s oil revenues, with major implications for the budget and deficits, and consequently government spending and investments. 2011 ushered in a successful democratic election process in Nigeria, which we believe will lay a strong foundation for the Federal Government to continue to implement beneficial legislation and policies that will continue to promote the development of the Oil & Gas sector and our economy at large.

20

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

In the economy, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth was largely driven by the agricultural sector, oil and gas sector, wholesale and retail sectors. The uprising in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region pushed crude oil price into triple digit

in the early part of the year. Going by the outlook on weather conditions in major agricultural producing nations, prospects of an ease in food price increase remain slim in the near term. The year ended with the Nation’s attention firmly focused on the Federal Government’s plan to remove petroleum subsidy in 2012. This provoked mostly negative reactions from the general populace on what is clearly a very sensitive topic to Nigerians. The people remain skeptical of the government’s plan to eliminate its largest opportunity cost to the detriment of the average Nigerian man, in the supposed guise of improved infrastructure and promises of a better tomorrow. However, the government’s intent on reforming our Oil and Gas industry via subsidy removal and passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is good news to us as it will bring about much needed positive change to our operations.

The company remains well positioned for immense growth in 2012 as we await these key economic reforms to kick in. With our focus and strategy remaining as clear as ever, we are in prime position to surpass our past performance to the ultimate satisfaction of our esteemed shareholders.

The Board

In 2011, the erstwhile Chairman, General Magoro (Rtd) resigned as a director having recently attained the age of 70 years as well as having been elected a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We truly valued his leadership, commitment and valuable contribution to the success of Oando and wish him the very best in all his future endeavours. We have no doubt that he will contribute positively in the legislature. Also in 2011, Ms. Amal Pepple, CFR resigned as a Director following her appointment as Minister for Land, Housing & Urban Development of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I wish to express our profound gratitude and appreciation for the insightful contributions of Ms. Pepple during her tenure. We wish her the best in her quest to serve our dear nation. To ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors complies with international best practices, Engr. K.J N’jie and Ammuna Lawan Ali, OON were appointed to the Board on 20 October, 2011 in accordance with Article 88 of the articles of association of the company. I am pleased to inform you that the new directors are vastly experienced and firmly believe they will make immense contributions towards the growth and success of Oando.

Oando e-Dividend, e-report and e-Bonus Campaign

To ensure timely communication and reduce challenges associated with your investment, we have available an e-communication initiative where mandates and reports can be received electronically. I urge you all to leverage on the e-communication channels so that together we can reduce unclaimed dividends.

The 2012 Outlook

2012 for the global economy will be one of the most difficult years to predict due to the unexpected economic and social events that burdened the preceding year. While global growth is expected to be slower, emerging and frontier markets such as Nigeria are expected to record impressive output growth figures. This negative outlook is further

emphasized by the IMF’s revision of global growth estimate from 4.5% to 4.0%. It would be fair to say that global growth is largely hinged on the evolution of the current Eurozone crisis and the US economy. Economic growth in Nigeria is forecasted at 7.2% for 2012, with rising domestic demand, intra-Africa trade, and infrastructure development expected to be the major growth drivers. The Central Bank of Nigeria has forecasted an exchange rate of NGN157.89/US$ and inflation rate of 13%. The Federal Government’s decision to partially remove petrol subsidies should release much needed funds for infrastructure development and should benefit the economy as a whole if properly implemented. The policy also favours major marketers such as us as it reduces the number of receivables days experienced when waiting for the Federal Government to pay subsidy. Following downstream deregulation, attention will be firmly focused on the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) this year, and there are clear indications that the bill will be passed before the end of the first half of the year. The company remains well positioned for immense growth in 2012 as we await these key economic reforms to kick in. With our focus and strategy remaining as clear as ever, we are in prime position to surpass our past performance to the ultimate satisfaction of our esteemed shareholders. Thank you

2011 HIGHLIGHTS

A clean slate provided for future progress

It is with great pleasure that I give you the first review of Oando’s performance for 2011. It proved to be a year of continuous progress for the Group, only hindered by necessary write-downs that pave the way for future growth. The Group’s focus remains on building and developing the higher margin Mid to Upstream divisions whilst maintaining our leadership position in the Downstream sector. Across the globe, 2011 was a year marked with uncertainty. The Arab spring dominated events for much of the year toppling long dictatorships and causing greater instability on oil prices. The effect of America’s recession on the rest of the world was more pronounced as consumption and trading slowed down causing the IMF to forecast a growth rate of 3.3% for the world economy. The European Union came close to financial disintegration due to maturing debt crises of some key member states including Greece, Italy and fears of default for Spain and Portugal. All these gave rise to a liquidity squeeze increasing the cost of borrowing and affecting the import of petroleum products.

In 2011, the Group witnessed growth, with an impressive 55% increase in revenues, reaching N586.6 billion. With a profit before exceptional items and taxes of N24.5 billion, profit after tax was however lower at N3.4 billion, following necessary write-downs of N9.6 billion which provide a clean slate for future growth. The highlights for the year include:

• Commenced reverse Takeover of Canadian listed Exile Resources Inc., to create Oando Energy Resources Inc. • Sustained production levels from Oando’s producing assets. • Two of Oando’s swamp rigs maintained drilling operations in the Niger Delta, with the third being mobilised to commence operations for Shell Nigeria. • Oando Gas and Power (OGP) commissioned its second franchise, the 128km East Horizon Gas Pipeline in the Southeast. • OGP also commenced the operation of Central Horizon Gas Company (a special purpose vehicle set up to rehabilitate and expand the existing gas distribution pipeline in Trans-Amadi, Rivers State). • Maintained our leadership position in the importation and distribution of petroleum products across Nigeria. 23

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

review of 2011

Despite negative externalities which adversely affected our operating environment, OMP recorded positive results in 2011. Our company grew both revenue and gross margins by 14% and 17% above 2010 levels to N199.8bn and N23.5bn respectively. Profit after tax reduced marginally by 3% over 2010 position to N3.8bn. This performance was built on the foundation of being the foremost products distribution company driven by relentless commitment to excellence through hard work, innovation, integrity and efficiency. Locally, we lost over 30 business days compared to 2010, largely due to political activities, industrial actions by different unions as well as security and safety related incidents. This heavily impacted our business as the economy grounded to a halt. The inconsistent implementation of policies by

government and its parastatals continued to hamper the smooth running of our business. The last 2 quarters of the year were dominated by government’s uncertainty with regards to the Petroleum Support Fund (PSF), which impacted negatively on PMS supply across the nation as key participants in the supply chain employed a risk averse strategy. The above issues led to underutilization of our operating lease facilities, thus increasing operating costs within the period. We also witnessed an increase in cost as a result of additional levies imposed by new agencies in several states where we operate. Working with other members of Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), we have continued to engage with the relevant agencies and our legal teams to assess viability and to reduce these costs.

Group Chief Executive’s report

Product review

PMS: In 2011 OMP maintained its leadership position as PMS sales volumes stood at 1.66bn Litres (1% above prior year). This was the largest volume recorded in the industry by any Oil Major despite market uncertainties. Our focus was sales optimization via company owned stations and key third party affiliations. AGO volumes sold during the period was 324m litres (12% higher than prior year). This performance placed OMP top in the industry despite intense price competitiveness, down time at our Onne Terminal facility for repair works on a damaged Pipeline and liquidity strategy employed to reduce the size of our commercial credit book. Higher sales through specialised channels such as Value Added Peddling (VAP), Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and Marine highlight our strategy of increasing revenue through tailored services which add significant value to our customers. HHK sales grew by 35% over 2010 figures due to improved government supply. This presented an opportunity for OMP to aggressively acquire the product from all depots.

Other Products (Lubricants, Specialties)

Lubricants sales volume grew by 13% when compared with 2010 volumes. For the retail business, focus was on optimizing our profitable channel of company owned stations. Retail bulk lubricants sales grew by 12% over 2010 figures. We also grew the commercial lubricants business through an ability to maximize the use of credit, signing up new customers and volume growth on existing customers. The OMP lubricant market share however remains steady at 17% even with stiff competition arising from the importation of cheap products by independent marketers. There are ongoing initiatives to grow Oando volumes and market share.

A lubricant promotion was carried out in Q3, 2011 as part of a long term strategy to improve brand awareness and steady volumes for the period. New initiatives include the distributorship scheme, an incentive scheme for sales staff and a renewed target to increase our industrial customer base.

LPG: 2011 sales at 12,400MT is a reduction of 8% from 2010; this is as a result of severe supply constraints. The Warri refinery was out of operation for about half of the year due to repair work. This, along with management change at the refinery, affected product supply. However, OMP remains the market leader in this product segment at over 50% market share among the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN).

ATK volume sales in 2011 rose by 19% over 2010. We signed up new customers including Air Rwanda, Lufthansa and Airstream, grew sales to local airlines by 26% (due to a combination of bulk sales and constant product availability to local customers) and increased sales to some international airlines such as KLM and South African Airways. New initiatives to grow figures in 2012 include business expansion and specific customer targets which will provide guaranteed volumes with secure credit lines, there will also be focus on equipment upgrade and stock availability to ensure that all orders are met.

+17% Grew gross margins by 17% above 2010 levels

The OMP lubricant market share remains steady at 17% even with stiff competition arising from the importation of cheap products by independent marketers. There are ongoing initiatives to grow Oando volumes and market share.

review of 2011

Prices of crude oil increased steadily from $93.69/bbl at the beginning of January, peaked at about $126.53/bbl in April but closed at $106.51/bbl by end December 2011; this had a corresponding increase on the local prices of deregulated products. On the economic scene, the year opened with an exchange rate of N148.5= $1, this rose steadily and peaked at N157.26 by November 2011, but closed at N156.7 at end December 2011. Volatility was very high in November, with rates vacillating by as much as N6 within a two week period. A balance of derivatives and other internal strategies were adopted to alleviate the impact of the foreign exchange movements on the company’s profitability.

In line with the company’s strategy of strengthening our market share of non Gasoline product lines, there was successful expansion of other product lines and margins, with AGO and Base oil contributing a significant portion of the profits. In spite of all the foregoing, the supply & trading business made a profit of N2.8 billion in the year ended 31st December 2011.

+200%

Group Chief Executive’s report

Base Oils volumes grew by over 200% over 2010 figures due to increased customer base and geographical expansion

Product review

PMS: There was significant volume growth in this product line in 2011. Volumes grew by more than 25% over 2010 volumes. The volume growth did not however, translate to profitability growth as the product suffered a major setback early in the year due to operational constraints. These constraints led to a loss in the first quarter. There was recovery however in the 2nd quarter which put gasoline back on track as the major contributor to profitability. The full benefit of the recovery in Q2 was impacted negatively by delayed release of Q4 allocations by PPPRA.

AGO: There was increased profitability from this product line; profitability was in excess of 100% over 2010 volumes. This was achieved with increased operational efficiency and contract management.

Base Oils: Volumes grew by over 200% over 2010 figures due to increased customer base and geographical expansion. The increased volume translated to increased profitability from this product line.

2012 Outlook

The primary market supplied by Oando Supply and Trading has grown increasingly competitive for all product lines. There would also remain the risk of any impact of government regulations on business operations. Our positioning and future growth will be built on four main strategies: • Further diversification of margin contribution from predominantly gasoline to other product lines. • Locking and creating captive sources of sustainable supply of competitively priced refined products. • Increase operational efficiency • Securing additional storage facilities for all products because product availability and accessibility are critical to increasing customer base.

Oando Supply and Trading’s strategy will leverage on its geographical spread, capabilities and strong government relations developed over the years. Through upstream alliances, we will penetrate and build our Gasoil coastal business in order to extend our product scope and refocus on higher margin markets. We will concentrate on alliances, which offer us opportunities to leverage on synergies with which to harness service and support capabilities. By consolidating on existing markets and tapping into the growing market for other product lines, we foresee a future of increased activity for Oando Supply and Trading.

Significant 2012 initiatives include

• Automation of all existing manual processes using either existing underutilized software or new software. This would improve efficiency and turnaround time for business operations. • Review current operational structure and competencies of staff across board, with a view to ensuring world class fit. • Secure additional storage facilities for products because product availability and accessibility will be a key winning strategy. • Continuous monitoring of operational processes to realize identified value and extract unanticipated ones.

Oando Terminals & Logistics (OTL)

Oando’s Terminals & Logistics (OTL) division (formerly known as the Oando Refinery and Terminals (OR&T) division; renamed to reflect a strategic shift of the refinery plans to the long term) is set to commence its first major investment as Oando leads the way in solving the nation’s petroleum product importation infrastructure deficiencies and operational inefficiencies. OTL, your downstream asset development organisation, will quickly become a major cash engine for the group as it progresses towards the realisation of the Apapa Submarine Pipeline (ASP) project - a jetty in the Lagos harbour that connects to the Major Marketers’ storage by a half kilometre subsea pipeline and a new 3km onshore line delivering almost 3 million tonnes a year. In Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), while we still carry a fully approved LPG storage project in our portfolio, we will also consider alternative asset solutions in the relevant operating entities to secure market dominance. To focus on specific value delivery, we have pulled back from our efforts with the Lagos State Government to develop the second Phase of the Lekki Free Trade Zone and the opportunities for a refined product storage facility targeted at relieving Lagos roads and existing ports of the burden of processing the majority of the nation’s fuel imports. These however remain long term options in which we possess advantaged capabilities to execute. In summary, the division has refocused on the terminal and logistics segments of the value chain where we have greater certainty to succeed in the near and midterm. Thus, we can go on to secure new opportunities as they arise out of new insight, international options and the government’s recently restated privatisation drive. 31

review of 2011

In 2011, OGP increased the utilization of its natural gas distribution network in Greater Lagos and currently has a customer base of about 120 off-takers. We also completed the feasibility study for the Greater Lagos Phase IV Project to assess the expansion of our pipeline network to other areas in Lagos. Our Independent Power Plant, Akute Power Limited, continued to supply the energy requirements of the Lagos Water Corporation through efficient operations. OGP also commenced the operation of Central Horizon Gas Company (a special purpose vehicle set up to rehabilitate and expand the existing gas distribution pipeline in Trans-Amadi,

Rivers State) and currently supplies 8 customers. Furthermore, we commissioned gas supply via our East Horizon Gas Company pipeline to our foundation customer, United Cement Company of Nigeria Limited. In 2011, OGP commenced the process for conducting a feasibility study on the development of a Gas Transmission Pipeline in South-West Nigeria that traverses Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Kwara States. We executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for the joint feasibility study of the proposed development. We also succeeded in receiving a grant from the United States Trade Development Agency (USTDA) as partial funding for the feasibility study.

Group Chief Executive’s report

The Oando-led consortium (Oando, AGIP, and NNPC) secured an award for the development of a Gas Processing Facility for the Central Franchise Area. When completed, the Gas Processing Facility will help in meeting the Nigerian Gas Master Plan (NGMP) aspirations for gas availability in the domestic market. This development should have an initial capacity to process up to 600 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day. OGP retained its Quality Management System Certification and was adjudged by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) as being compliant with the ISO 9001:2008 Standard. We are resolute in our commitment to safe practices and continue to provide the required safety guidelines for people and the environment where we operate.

Natural Gas Distribution

Gaslink Nigeria Limited (GNL) is the flagship company and main operating arm of Oando Gas & Power Limited. An outstanding achievement recorded during the year under review was the completion of the Liverpool River Crossing Project, executed using the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technology. This project was designed to provide a better assurance of gas supply to customers along the Apapa axis by completing the loop in the network, in line with global best practices. In 2011, we achieved full deployment of our Distribution Integrity Management Programs (DIMP) and instituted emergency readiness procedures in all our operational bases and project locations. In the course of the year, we experienced five (5) days of sectional gas outage along a segment of our distribution network due to unscheduled maintenance programme and supply restrictions by the Nigerian Gas Company (NGC). As part of ongoing efforts to optimize our existing assets, we continued to develop non-gas revenues through the lease of our gas pipeline right of way for Fibre Optic Development. We are currently negotiating contractual terms with a potential partner following a successful competitive tender process.

It should be noted that some of our existing industrial customers were unable to utilize natural gas due to other reasons bordering on their respective business operational challenges. We have recently embarked on the expansion of our Greater Lagos pipeline network (Phase IV Expansion Project) which would enable more customers have access to natural gas from our distribution network.

East Horizon Gas Company (EHGC) was established as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to construct 18” x 128km natural gas pipeline from NGC’s flange at Ukanafun on the existing Obigbo North-ALSCON Mainline Intermediate Scrapper Trap, for the supply of natural gas to our foundation customer, United Cement Company of Nigeria Limited (UNICEM) at its Mfamosing plant in CrossRiver State. This pipeline system is expected to open up supply to other customers in Calabar and the south-east corridor in general. EHGC has secured gas supply through the Gas Aggregation Company of Nigeria (GACN) for 22 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/day) of natural gas being the initial volume required for the first phase of UNICEM’s off-take. We achieved mechanical completion of the project and gas to flange in October 2011, while the official commissioning ceremony was held in November 2011.

Power Generation

Akute Power Limited (APL), our flagship Independent Power Plant has been in operation since January 2010. The 12.15MW gas fired power plant has continued to deliver electric power to Lagos Water Corporation’s main Water Works at Akute. The project is the first in the series of captive power projects being executed by OGP and is in line with our strategy of becoming a major player in the Nigerian Electricity Industry. The outlook for the company is positive with the guaranteed cash flow expected from the plant operations.

In the year under review, we optimized business operations through efficient financing programmes.

Outlook for 2012

Oando Gas & Power will continue to grow its business portfolio and establish itself as a force to reckon with in the gas & power space in Nigeria. OGP’s revenue target in 2012 is premised on the following:

• Efficient and safe operation of existing assets/businesses thereby delivering on growth targets • East Horizon Gas Company (Calabar region in Cross River State) • Central Horizon Gas Company (Port Harcourt region in Rivers State) • Gaslink Nigeria Limited (Greater Lagos area in Lagos State) • Akute Power Limited

• Progress on maturation of projects: • Completion of Compressed Natural Gas Plant in Lagos (Gas Network Services Limited). • Commencement of an independent power plant for Lagos State’s secretariat campus at Alausa. • Studies and Engineering Designs in respect of Gaslink Phase IV, CPF, EIIJ. • Submission of bids in respect of ongoing privatization programme of the PHCN for assets of interest. In conclusion, 2012 offers enormous challenges and opportunities for OGP to implement its vision of being the leading and most innovative energy company in our chosen markets. We expect 2012 to also mark the inflexion point in our history as a division, as we lay the foundation for significant growth and expansion in the coming years.

As a result, Oando Energy Services Limited (“OESL”) businesses experienced little disruption to our operations, enabling us deliver services to our clients all year round. While oil prices dropped from a high of US$116/bbl in May 2011, oil prices averaged US$111/bbl, representing a 39% increase over 2010. This thereby encouraged an increase in the level of drilling activities despite the disappointment of the non-passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill.

Swamp Drilling rigs

The year commenced with OES Integrity continuing its obligation under a 6-month farm-out agreement to the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited / Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (“SPDC/NNPC”) Joint Venture which commenced in August 2010. During the period, the rig drilled 3 wells and carried out workover operations on a handful of wells in accordance with our clients drilling program. Following the successful 6-month drilling campaign, OES Integrity returned to Nigerian Agip Oil Company Limited (“NAOC”) in May to complete the primary term of its 2 year main contract. On returning to NAOC, the rig completed a further 4 wells prior to the end of the primary term of the contract in December. Operational efficiency of OES Integrity for the year was 98%, resulting from proper planning, strict adherence to scheduled

maintenance programs and experienced rig and shore based staff. In demonstration of NAOC’s satisfaction in the performance of the rig, the company exercised its right to extend the contract for an additional year under the same terms and conditions thus renewing the contract until December 2012. Following the end of the interim contract with the NAOC/NNPC Joint Venture for the utilization of OES Teamwork and ahead of the commencement of the two year main contract; the rig underwent a 4-month extensive refurbishment work. During this crucial shutdown period, major equipment repairs and maintenance were undertaken such as the replacement of bearings for the main Electro-Motive Drive (EMD) engines, overhaul of deadline anchor, mud pump, swivel and installation of tandem booster on the BOP. In addition, annual inspection of drill pipe, preventive maintenance of mud pumps,

Group Chief Executive’s report

Operational efficiency of rigs as at year end was 98.5%

5-yearly overhaul of the travelling block, crown block, swivel, dead anchor and 10-yearly overhaul of Draw-works were carried out in order to take full advantage of the shutdown. Despite the extended out-of-service time, the rig carried out work-over activities on 4 wells and drilled its first well (Timpa-A) before the close of the year. Excluding the shutdown, operational efficiency of the rig as at year end was 98.5%. The refurbishment of OES Passion went into full swing at the start of the year. With the main contractors (CPD Oilwell) onboard, the first step was to further define the work scope for the refurbishment based on a detailed inspection of equipment. A series of disappointing events such as the increase in work scope, increased lead times for parts ordered from original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) due to an increase in drilling activity as well as a change in the project main contractor resulted in delays to the agreed project completion date. By working closely with the client OESL was able to complete 95% of the refurbishment which was inspected by an independent inspection company Aberdeen Drilling Consultants in December 2011. Following the completion of final checks, the rig has mobilized to the client’s first well location where onsite acceptance is being carried out by an inspection company selected by the SPDC/NNPC JV ahead of contract commencement. In line with our plan to have four rigs working by the end of 2012, OES continued to pursue opportunities for its fourth rig, OES Respect. The rig which was moved from Nigerdock to Kris Oil Jetty in Apapa back in February 2011 has generated interest from many marginal fields, independents and international operators alike. Earmarked for a 2-year contract with one of the majors, OESL commenced its reactivation plan in September by engaging a host of local companies to undertake the necessary activities ahead of exporting the rig to the Beacon Maritime Shipyard in Orange, Texas for refurbishment. With a team made up of individuals who worked on the original rig design and construction, Beacon Maritime brings a wealth of knowledge to the extensive refurbishment project which will see the addition of a third

mud pump, replacement of the main caterpillar (CAT) engine, increasing the capacity of the electrical system and refurbishment of the cranes. The agreed work scope which is in line with OESL’s proposed client’s requirements is estimated to take 6-months. Following the acceptance of the rig by OESL’s technical inspection team in Orange, the rig is scheduled to return to Nigeria at the end of Q3 2012.

Drill Bits

Despite a lower number of active drill bits contracts in 2011 compared to 2010, there was a significant increase in sales in 2011. The 63% revenue increase witnessed over 2010 is attributed to OESL’s focus on service delivery as well as an increase in customer engagement through rigorous marketing efforts such as lunch & learn meetings and customer feedback forums. In 2011, Mobil Producing Nigeria Limited was responsible for 80% of OESL’s drill bit sales, primarily due to the outstanding performance of OESL’s Halliburton bits which achieved many records such as drilling the longest footage by a single drill bit at remarkable speeds. Though contracts with SPDC and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (“SNEPCo”) ended during the year, drill bits were delivered to both clients via interim contracts which were put in place pending the main contract award. The end of GSF Monitor’s contract with Total E&P Nigeria Limited (“Total”) in September and the structural issues faced by Seawolf Oritsetmeyin resulted in lower than expected activity by Total in the year, thus despite a lucrative contract which was signed in 2010, sales were not as expected. The award of contracts at the end of the year by Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (“NAE”), Esso Exploration & Production Nigeria Limited (“ESSO”), Energia Limited and Pillar Oil Limited to OESL to supply bits for their 1 to 2 well drilling programmes is expected to have a positive impact on sales performance in Q1 2012. 39

Drilling Fluids

The drilling fluids business reaped the benefits of its marketing efforts in 2011 with the provision of services to Chevron onboard the long awaited jack-up rig, the KS Endeavour. Despite the end of OESL’s ongoing contract with ExxonMobil, services continued through the year to long standing clients such as NAOC, Chevron deepwater and SNEPCo. Numerous challenges were experienced during the year which threatened the profitability of this business including the increase in price of mud products which was passed on by partners as well as product availability issues, in particular barite. Nevertheless, compared to 2010, revenue grew by 110%. The strategic decision to include production chemical solutions to our basket of services was well received by major oil companies and contributed positively to the revenue growth of the business. The trusted alliance with world leader Champion Technologies provided the much needed confidence while the successful application of proffered solutions during field trials was a true testament to extensive R&D support available to OESL via the alliance. Orders were received from both Total and SNEPCo during the year for a range of products including corrosion inhibitor (CK-368) and calcium naphthanate (CN 1007). The successful commencement of solids control services on OES Integrity in 2010 established OESL as a major player in this field. This paved the way for a second contract to be executed with NAOC and a request for services by a second operator.

Outlook for 2012

Following the total loss of NRG 101, a land rig operating for Waltersmith Petroman Oil, and taking from some of the lessons highlighted in the BP Macondo investigation report, there is clearly a need to place more emphasis on strict adherence to policies and procedures. This will drive the ISO 9001:2008 certification which OESL intends to attain before the end of the year.

40

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

With the OES Passion commencing its 2-year contract with SPDC in February 2012, OES will have three rigs under contract. Our focus will therefore be on ensuring that our 3 operating assets are properly maintained and

adequately staffed in order to minimize disruptions to daily rig operations, thereby reducing Non-Productive Time (NPT) and maximizing revenue. Revenue will also be maximized by strict adherence to any planned out of service time such as the shutdown of OES Teamwork which is expected to take 60 days and is scheduled for Q4 2012. Timely and cost effective project execution will be achieved through a close monitoring of all ongoing projects including the refurbishment of OES Respect in Orange. In order to remain on course to achieve our rig deployment plan, it is critical that the refurbishment is concluded and the rig returns to Nigeria by the end of Q3 ahead of a likely Q4 contract commencement. Positioned to take advantage of land rig opportunities, we will continue to actively participate in this area and look forward to the conclusion of some of the ongoing tendering activities which will possibly lead to OESL’s executing its first land rig contract in the course of the year. The extension of contracts and the award of new contracts by companies such as Energia Limited, Pillar Oil Limited, ESSO and NAE are expected to contribute significantly to revenue. We remain determined to eliminate many of the challenges faced in the fluids business, specifically product availability issues. This has resulted in OESL exploring new alliances with suppliers of chemicals at the end of 2011 and we anticipate that the benefits of these relationships will be realized in 2012. Focus will be placed on developing the existing production chemicals business and increasing market share from 1.2% to 2.4% through a gradual penetration into Chevron and increasing product sales to Total and SNEPCo. The drill bits business is no doubt in the growth phase of its lifecycle. The superior performance of the bits backed by bespoke applications engineering will continue to increase demand with existing customers. The gradual increase in OESL’s marginal field and independent operators’ customer base clearly shows that our product awareness marketing drive is yielding fruit. This is expected to continue through 2012.

The company remains well positioned for immense growth in 2012 as we await these key economic reforms to kick in. With our focus and strategy remaining as clear as ever, we are in prime position to surpass our past performance to the ultimate satisfaction of our esteemed shareholders.

Upstream Operations

Oando Exploration & Production (OEPL) 2011 was another tumultuous year for the global economy. Oil prices were over $100/bbl for most of the year, driven by the instability caused by the popular uprising in the Middle East / North Africa region. The demand outlook for oil however remains positive and is expected to be driven by fast growing emerging economies. This has supported a significant rise in capital spending in the exploration & production business, as well as an evolution in the technology, as seen in the proliferation of hydraulic fracturing of shale gas.

OML 125 and OML134

Oando OML 125 and OML 134 Ltd acquired a 15% working interest in OMLs 125 and 134 in 2008. These blocks are operated by Nigeria Agip Exploration (“NAE”) and are located in Nigeria’s deep offshore segment with acreage size of 1,220 Km2 (OML 125) and 1,187 Km2 (OML 134) respectively. Production from the Abo field within OML 125 averaged 28,000 bpd in 2011, exceeding our expectations, as the anticipated decline was prevented by a successful well stimulation programme in the third quarter of 2011. There are plans in 2012 to improve the reserve base of this asset by completing and working-over some of the current wells on the asset.

Nigeria’s oil industry remains stifled with the Petroleum Industry Bill still not signed into law. The major upstream players continue to focus deeper offshore and there remains an abundance of potential opportunities for OEPL before, and especially after the PIB is resolved.

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

In 2011 we achieved a gradual but sustained increase in average daily production from 4,500bpd in 2010 to just under 5,000bpd in 2011 despite recurrent production disruptions due to theft and vandalism on OML 56. The production gains were mainly due to well stimulation efforts. A successful refinancing of bank facilities significantly improved our working capital position. Given these achievements as an indigenous player, our ambition going forward is to continue to optimize our asset portfolio in as value-accretive a manner as feasible. We anticipate a number of new production opportunities will come on stream in 2012 and positively impact our daily production. We also intend to continue to optimize our capital structure and free up resources to capitalize on opportunities the ongoing reforms in the industry should present upon their eventual conclusion.

In OML 134, tendering and contracting for seismic processing is currently underway. Seismic processing and interpretation of the asset data will commence as soon as a competent seismic processing contractor has been identified.

Obodeti/Obodugwa Field Area (OML 56)

Oando Production and Development Company before (OPDC) acquired a 45% participatory interest in the Obodeti/Obodugwa field area from the government during the marginal field allocation round in 2003. This acquisition was made pursuant to a marginal field farm out agreement between NNPC, Elf Petroleum, Energia and Unipetrol Production and Development Company Limited. Further to the unitization agreement between the Group, Energia and Pillar Oil in April 2004, the combined working interest of the Group and Energia in the oil production from the Obodugwa 3 well, which is located in an adjacent concession operated by Pillar Oil, is 30%. Four wells had been drilled in the Obodeti/Obodugwa field area by Elf (now Total).

5,000bpd

Group Chief Executive’s report

We achieved a gradual but sustained increase in average daily production to just under 5,000bpd in 2011 on OML 56.

Following production tests in October 2009, the Obodeti/Obodugwa field commenced oil production operations in December 2009. Evacuation of the crude was initially done through a trucking system. However, an 8km pipeline has been completed and was commissioned in August 2010 with a Lease Automated Custody Transfer (“LACT”) unit installed at the facility. Production from this field averaged 1,400bpd over 2011 and averaged 1,700bpd in the last quarter of 2011 as ongoing optimization efforts resulted in sustained gradual increases in production over the year. Work is in progress to achieve 3,500bpd by the end of 2012 upon completion of our drilling program for this year in addition to further optimization efforts.

Akepo Field (OML 90)

Oando Akepo Ltd entered into a farm-in agreement with Exile, following which the Group acquired a 30% participatory interest in a Marginal Fields Farm-out Agreement with respect to the Akepo field - Under the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) between the field’s original concession owners, Sogenal and Exile. Sogenal is currently the operator of the field whilst Oando and Exile entered into a Financing, Technical and Management Services agreement ("FTMSA") in 2008 which provided for Oando to assume the responsibilities of Exile as Technical Partner to recover its costs expended in that respect from Exile under allocations of proceeds received from the Field. The Akepo field is located in shallow water in the Niger Delta, on an area of 25.7 Km2 within OML 90. Akepo is currently in the final stages of development. Detailed engineering design was undertaken in 2011 and construction work on the production and evacuation facilities is ongoing. Production is anticipated to commence in Q4, 2012.

OPL 236

OEPL was awarded this block in May 2007 and the Production Sharing Contract was signed with NNPC in February, 2008. This conferred OEPL with a 95% working interest and operatorship of the block. RFO Ventures is the local content vehicle (LCV) with a 5% participatory interest. The block is located onshore Akwa-Ibom State with a total acreage of 1,650 Km2. A Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMOU) was signed with the Ukana community in August 2008. OPL 236 is currently in the exploration stage with estimated 2C reserves of 33.6bcf (RPS report). In 2010, 2D seismic data for OPL 236 was purchased and digitized. Regional interpretation of the seismic data began at the end of Q3, which resulted in a delineated footprint for targeted acquisition of 3D seismic data on the block. Work is ongoing on a development program aimed at harnessing the gas reserves in line with the proposed industry gas master plan and delivering the much needed clean energy for the growing energy needs of the utilities and power industry within the region.

OPL 278

In January 2006, OEPL acquired a 60% working interest pursuant to a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) among the Group, CAMAC, Allied Energy and First Axis and the NNPC, in respect of OPL 278. OPL 278 is operated by OEPL under a JOA made between OEPL, CAMAC, Allied Energy and First Axis. OPL 278 is located offshore of Rivers State in a transition zone (swamp to shallow marine) on an area of 91.9Km2. Three prospects have been identified in OPL 278, which are Ke, Prospect A and Prospect B. The blocks exploration phase has been extended to 2015 by The Federal Government of Nigeria.

OPL 282

On 8 August 2006, OEPL acquired a 4% working interest in the PSC between NAOC, Alliance Oil Producing Nigeria (AOPN) Limited and NNPC, in respect of OPL 282 (the “OPL 282 PSC”). NAOC holds a 90% working interest in the OPL 282 PSC, while AOPN, which represents the local content vehicle in OPL 282, holds the remaining 10% working interest. The Group holds 40% of the shares in AOPN, while ARC Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited holds the remaining 60%. OPL 282 is operated by NAOC under a JOA made between NAOC and AOPN. OPL 282 is located in a transition zone (onshore to shallow marine) in Bayelsa State, on an area of 695 Km2. This block is currently in the exploration phase. An exploratory drilling campaign in the block was kicked off with the Tinpa-1 Dir well, which spudded in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Equator Assets

Oando PLC owns 81.5% of Equator Exploration Limited (‘Equator’), most of which was acquired in 2009 by the conversion of loans made to Equator into shares and by the purchase of shares on the open market. In 2011, Oando PLC continued to increase its interest in Equator by buying minority shares as opportunities arose. In 2012, Oando PLC will seek to acquire the remainder of Equator.

Nigeria – OPL 323 and OPL 321

Equator holds a 30% participating interest in each of deep water blocks, OPL 321 and OPL 323, awarded in the Nigerian 2005 licensing round. During 2011, the Federal Government of Nigeria continued to appeal a high court judgment in favour of the operator, the Korean National Oil Corporation (‘KNOC’). The judgment, granted in August 2009, had ruled that the government had acted unlawfully in January 2009 when it voided the allocations of OPL 321 and OPL 323 to KNOC (but not to Equator), nearly three years after the PSC’s had been executed.

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Despite requesting and receiving an interim refund of its share of the signature bonuses of US$ 161.7 million in September 2009 pending the outcome of the litigation, Equator vigorously maintains its interests in the two blocks. In 2011, Oando/Equator campaigned for a settlement among the government and

industry stakeholders. These efforts continue with the aim of achieving a resumption of exploration activities on these highly prospective blocks by end 2012. A high quality 3D seismic survey has already been used to evaluate a number of large prospects and to select the well locations. Netherland, Sewell and Associates have independently assessed the Best Estimate of the Gross Unrisked Recoverable Oil Resources to be 1.6 billion barrels for the two blocks combined. Drilling could start on the four commitment exploration wells within two years of the resumption of operational activity.

Blocks 5 & 12, EEZ of São Tomé & Príncipe

In February 2010, in accordance with agreements signed in 2001 and 2003, the government of São Tomé & Príncipe awarded Equator Blocks 5 and 12, its first two choices from all of the blocks within the country’s large Exclusive Economic Zone (‘EEZ’). Negotiations of satisfactory Production Sharing Contracts (‘PSCs’) with the government were completed during 2011. The agreements are expected to be signed in H1 2012, triggering payment of signatures bonuses and commitment to a four year work programme of 2D and 3D seismic acquisition. During 2011, existing 2D seismic surveys were used to complete the evaluation of the blocks and identify a number of prospects. In order to manage the exposure to the risks of high cost exploration in a frontier province in ultra deep water, the Company is considering farm outs. A number of world class oil companies have visited the data room in order to assess the opportunity.

Group Chief Executive’s report

We have a positive outlook on 2012, especially with the expected additional production streams anticipated in the year. Furthermore, we are cautiously optimistic towards a resolution to the current impasse with the much anticipated passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) by the National Assembly.

Bilabri & Owanare (OML 122)

In April 2005, Equator signed a Finance and Service Agreement with Peak Petroleum Industries Nigeria Limited (‘Peak’), the lease holder of OML 122, an offshore indigenous block. In return for providing funds and supplying technical services, Equator became entitled to a share of any oil and gas production from the Bilabri and Owanare discoveries and from any discovery made by a selected exploration well. Four attacks by militants, three involving the taking of hostages, forced the suspension of offshore operations a number of months before production was due to commence from Bilabri. The termination of contracts with suppliers resulted in major financial penalties to Equator. To relieve these, Equator entered into the Bilabri Settlement Agreement (‘BSA’) with Peak in 2007 whereby Peak assumed responsibility for existing debts and for funding the future development in exchange for Equator accepting significant reductions in its shares of oil and gas production. Peak breached this agreement and Equator was awarded US$123 million plus interest in an arbitration tribunal in May 2008. In 2011, Peak continued to be unable to meet its obligations under the BSA. Consequently, Oando/Equator pursued winding up proceedings against Peak in the courts of Nigeria. A court has issued a final order for the winding up of Peak and has appointed a final liquidator. Our lawyers advise that an appeal by Peak has little merit. In the meantime, Oando/Equator also offered Peak a settlement in which Oando/Equator would resume the funding and operations of the Bilabri Oil Field Development in return for an increased participating interest in the oil production and for an assignment of a direct interest in Oil Mining Lease 122 with the government. An independent evaluation by Netherland, Sewell and Associates assesses the Gross Proved plus Probable Reserves for the Bilabri Field to be 13.2 million barrels. The estimate for Gross Proved plus Probable Contingent Gas Resources is 501 billion standard cubic feet for Bilabri and a new discovery, Owanare, combined.

JDZ Block 2

Equator has a 9% interest in this block, awarded in the 2004 licensing round for the Joint Development Zone between Nigeria and São Tomé & Príncipe. The ‘Bomu 1’ exploration well, drilled in the second half of 2009, was completed under budget and discovered dry gas in a number of formations. The Joint Development Authority (‘JDA’) has awarded three extensions, amounting to a total of two years, to the participants for them to complete the evaluation of the results from ‘Bomu 1’, including a reassessment of the prospectivity of the remainder of the block. In early 2011, Sinopec, the operator, reported the results of the evaluation. It was confirmed that the ‘Bomu’ gas discovery was too small to be economic in deep water in current conditions and that the rest of the block had insufficient prospectivity to justify entering the Phase 2 Exploration Period with its obligatory well. Sinopec has notified the other participants that it will not continue.

Outlook for 2012

Despite the challenges faced in 2011, we have a positive outlook on 2012, especially with the expected additional production streams anticipated in the year. Furthermore, we are cautiously optimistic towards a resolution to the current impasse with the much anticipated passage of the PIB by the National Assembly. The PIB as well as the Nigerian Content Act, which was passed in 2010, are expected to increase our footprint as an indigenous integrated oil and gas company in the industry. We expect that it will present more opportunities for us to acquire acreage from the International Oil Companies (IOC’s) and farm-in to under-performing assets that have near-term production profiles. Furthermore, we shall continue to position ourselves as the preferred partner of choice to companies seeking to gain entry into the oil industry in Nigeria and the Gulf of Guinea.

Our mid-term focus is to increase current daily production to 10,000bpd/daily, dynamically optimize our capital structure to development and acquisition opportunities going forward, maintaining our health and safety record, and growing our reserves accordingly to deliver increased value to our stakeholders - both local and international.

Conclusion

Following our write-downs in 2011, we anticipate a robust performance in 2012, having dealt with all costs that could negatively impact future performance. We look forward to providing superior value for our shareholders in 2012 as new projects come aboard and key government policies take effect to the benefit of indigenous players in the industry.

In accordance with the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, Cap C20, LFN 2004, the Directors of Oando PLC hereby presents to the members of the Company the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2011. The preparation of annual financial statements is the responsibility of the Board, and it should give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company. The Directors declare that nothing has come to their attention to indicate that the Company will not remain a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of this report.

Legal Form

The Company commenced operations in 1956 as a petroleum-marketing company in Nigeria under the name ESSO West Africa Inc., a subsidiary of Exxon Corporation (“Exxon”), and was incorporated under Nigerian Law as Esso Standard Nigeria Limited (“Esso”) in 1969. In 1976, the Federal Government acquired Exxon’s interest in Esso; Esso was nationalised and rebranded as Unipetrol Nigeria Limited (“Unipetrol”). A process of privatisation began in 1991 when the Federal Government divested 60% of its shareholding in Unipetrol to the public. Unipetrol’s shares were listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (the “NSE”) in February 1992, quoted as Unipetrol Nigeria PLC. Under the second phase of the privatisation process, the Federal Government sold its remaining shareholding in Unipetrol. Ocean and Oil Investments (Nigeria) Limited (“OOIN”), the Company’s major shareholder in 2000, acquired 30% in Unipetrol from the Federal Government. The residual 10% stake held by the Federal Government was sold to the public in 2001. In August 2002, Unipetrol acquired a 60% stake in Agip Nigeria Plc (“Agip”) from Agip Petroli International. The remaining 40% of the shares in Agip was acquired by Unipetrol by way of a share swap under a scheme of merger. The combined entity that resulted from the merger of Unipetrol and Agip was rebranded as Oando PLC in December 2003.

Corporate Governance & Statement of Compliance

The Company is dedicated to the protection and promotion of shareholders’ interests. The Company recognises the importance of the adoption of superior management principles, its valuable contribution to long term business prosperity and accountability to its shareholders. The Company complies with the requirements of the Nigerian corporate governance standards through its compliance with the principles under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Code of Corporate Governance for Public Companies in Nigeria (the “Code”). The Code prescribes guidelines for best practices to be followed by public quoted companies and for all other companies with multiple stakeholders registered in Nigeria. Although it is not an enforceable statute, public companies and other companies with multiple stakeholders are encouraged to comply with its principles with a view to aligning their operations with international best practices. The Company meets the requirements of the Nigerian corporate governance standards by complying with the principles under the Code. For example, according to the Code, the composition of the Board of Directors should ensure diversity of experience without compromising compatibility, integrity, availability and independence, and it should consist of a mix of not more than 15 Executive and Non-Executive Directors headed by a Chairman. In addition, the positions of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer should be held by different persons, in order to avoid undue concentration of power. The Company complies with all these principles. The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct & Ethics which defines the Company’s mission within a corporate governance framework. The Code was approved by the Board in December 2007 and is applicable to all employees (including contract staff and third party personnel seconded to the Company), managers as well as directors and business partners of the Company. It also requires all Directors and employees to be trained and annually certified on the salient provisions of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct & Ethics. The training is conducted using a web based training facility and is part of the induction and on-boarding process for new staff members.

Governance Office Initiatives

recertification Exercise: In the year 2011, the Governance Office conducted the annual Recertification Exercise on the Code of Business Conduct & Ethics and other company policies for all staff.

This is in line with the corporate laws, rules, regulations, Codes of Corporate Governance, International best practices as well as the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.

A maximum of one third of the Directors, who are the longest in office since their last appointment are required to retire by rotation and are eligible for re-election.

The Governance & Nomination Committee has the overall responsibility for the process subject to the approval of the Board.

Directors act in good faith, with due care and in the best interests of the Company and all its shareholders – and not in the interests of any particular shareholder – on the basis of relevant information. Each Director is expected to attend all Board of Directors meetings and applicable committee meetings.

The fundamental principles of the process include the evaluation of the balance of skills, knowledge and experience on the Board before making any appointments so as to ensure that the identified skills gaps are filled. Consideration is also given to the leadership needs of the Company, succession planning, other commitments of the candidate and his/her ability to meet the duties and obligations expected of him/her.

The Company does not prohibit its Directors from serving on other Boards as Directors. Directors are however, expected to ensure that other commitments do not interfere with the discharge of their duties. Directors shall not divulge or use confidential or insider information about the Company.

Appointments must give regard to merit and other objective criteria. The appointment procedure thus includes searching for the right candidates (based on the principles, legal and ethical checks), selection, voting, recommendation, approval by the Board and ratification by the shareholders.

Board’s Duties & responsibility

Training and access to Advisers The Company has a set induction programme for new directors on the Company’s business and other information that will assist them in discharging their duties effectively. The Company believes in and provides continuous training and professional education to its Directors.

Working Procedures

The Board of Directors meets according to a fixed schedule, set at the beginning of each year, which enables it to properly discharge its duties. As a rule, the Board of Directors meets at least five (5) times a year. NonExecutive Directors are required to meet separately from executive members at least once a year.

remuneration

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is competitive and is comprised of an annual fee and a meeting attendance allowance. The remuneration package shall, however, not jeopardize a Director’s independence. Executive Directors are not paid fees beyond their executive remuneration package. The Board of Directors shall through its remuneration committee, periodically review the remuneration paid to Directors. The Company publicly discloses the remuneration of each Director on an individual basis. The Company will not provide personal loans or credits to its Directors. Further, the Company shall not provide stock options to its NonExecutive Directors unless approved by shareholders in general meeting. The Company Secretary is responsible to the Board, and is also available to individual Directors for advice and services.

All Directors are expected to be provided with a concise but comprehensive set of information by the Company Secretary in a timely manner, concurrently with the notice of the Board meeting, no less than fourteen (14) days before each meeting. This set of documents is to include: • an agenda; • minutes of the prior Board meeting; • key performance indicators, including relevant financial information prepared by management, and clear recommendations for action. The Board of Directors through the Company Secretary keeps detailed minutes of its meetings that adequately reflect Board discussions, signed by the Chairman and disclosing voting results on an individual basis where decisions are not unanimous.

Interests of Oando’s Directors in terms of the equity incentive scheme

The Executive Directors stand to benefit from the Oando Employee Equity Incentive Scheme. See paragraph titled Staff equity participation scheme on page 66 for details of the scheme.

Directors’ interests in transactions None of the directors had a direct material interest in any transactions that were effected by Oando during: • the current or immediately preceding financial year; or • any preceding financial year and remain in any respect outstanding or unperformed. However, some of the directors hold directorships in other companies or are partners in firms with which Oando had material transactions during the current financial year, as summarised below: Ocean and Oil Holdings (Nigeria) Limited (“OOH”). OOH is a diversified principal investment holding company with an indirect controlling stake in Oando held through Ocean and Oil Investments Limited. Oando’s directors who are also directors of OOH are Mr. Jubril Adewale Tinubu and Mr. Omamofe Boyo.

Internal control and risk

The Directors have overall responsibility for ensuring that the Group maintains a sound system of internal controls to provide them with reasonable assurance that all information used within the business and for external publication is adequate, including financial, operational, compliance, control and risk management and for ensuring that assets are safeguarded and therefore that shareholders’ investment is protected. There are limitations in any system of internal control and, accordingly, even the most effective system can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. In line with good practice, the Company has an Internal Audit unit that carries out routine and random checks on the company’s operations, including fixed assets and stocks. The unit is also responsible for investigating frauds and misuse or misappropriation of the Company’s assets.

58

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

The Company also has an Internal Control Unit, which lays down and tests the controls and processes to ensure that the assets of the company are safeguarded. The Unit is currently headed by a manager with vast control and processes experience. The key procedures that the Board has established and which are designed to provide effective internal control for the Group are: • The Board sets out the Group delegation of authority procedures which are adopted by all the subsidiary companies. • The issue of a Group accounting and procedures manual which sets out the Group’s accounting practices, revenue recognition rules, accounting under Nigerian Accounting Standard Board (NASB) and International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) and bid approval processes. • The application of a rigorous annual budgeting process following a detailed entity and Group strategy review. All budgets are subject to approval at Board level. • The Group Leadership Council is responsible for reviewing the operational results, communicating and applying these results, the Group-wide Policies and procedures and strategy on operational matters to the Board and down to the operating units. • The formal monthly operational review by the Executive Directors together with the divisional management teams to assess the financial and operating performance and discuss the on-going development of each business unit and the comparison of detailed monthly management reports against budgets, forecasts and prior years. In addition the Group Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer prepare a quarterly report for the Board on key developments, performance and issues in the business. • The identification and mitigation of major business risks is the responsibility of company management. Each operating company maintains internal controls and procedures appropriate to its structure and business environment, whilst complying with Group policies, standards and guidelines. • Insurance cover is maintained to insure all the major risk areas of the Group based on the scale of the risk and the availability of cover in the external market. • The use of external professional advisers to carry out due diligence reviews of potential acquisitions.

Enterprise risk Management

The global financial crisis continued in the year 2011 with problems spreading to European Debt markets, affecting countries in the Euro zone and by extension investment decisions in African countries such as Nigeria. This has contributed to reviews of corporate governance requirements in various countries including Nigeria. In light of these developments, and in compliance with international best practices, we have improved on our risk management strategy. We strongly believe that the effective management of material risk is central to the success of the group. We have integrated the execution of our risk management strategy within an Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The fundamental objective of this framework is for the group to take a holistic approach to proactively identify, communicate and manage risk by increasing the role of management and the board in the process, as well as to review risk from a corporate perspective that allows us to test the long term viability of our corporate objectives. The risk management process also guides us in communicating and reporting our key risk and opportunities to all stakeholders. As part of the implementation of the framework, we separated the Internal Controls functions from our internal audit function during the year and, we created a combined Risk Management and Internal Control unit within the Oando group. The added value that this split brings to the leadership team is the assurance of a single point of accountability and ownership for internal controls at the group level and a consistency in approach that will generate time and cost savings. The risk management function was created as part of our strategy to enhance corporate governance standards and also in line with international best practices. The unit provides central coordination and oversight of all risk management activities within Oando Group. It reports to the Chief Financial Officer, who in turn reports risk related issues to the Risk Committee of the Board. During the year, the Risk Management and Controls unit updated key processes and policies across the group and highlighted all process risks and controls inherent in each of the key processes; we have created a risk matrix that embeds all these process risks and controls. We have gone a step further to review each of these controls with a view to

ensuring that they effectively address the process or business risks. We have rolled out risk registers to our subsidiaries and have held workshops during the year with subsidiaries to identify assess and mitigate controllable risks within the various businesses. We believe that the development of a robust risk culture is an important element of the group’s risk management process. We are continuously embedding this risk culture in our staff members through newsletters, workshops and training on risk management. We conducted training and workshops for directors and staff members on Risk management and Internal controls during the year. We created a Group Risk Management Committee (GRMC) composed of carefully selected Management staff drawn from the different business and group units with a range of skills and knowledge covering risk management, Health and Safety, finance, audit, corporate governance and law. The GRMC serves as a management function with direct responsibility for providing independent risk oversight, coordination, facilitation, monitoring and challenge of the effectiveness and integrity of the Group’s risk management processes. It reports the Group’s risk exposure to the board through the Strategic Planning & Finance Committee and the Risk, Environment, Health and safety Committee of the Board. The effectiveness of Oando’s expansion programs involves large projects being successfully executed at the same time across the different entities. The group has strengthened its project risk management capabilities with the introduction of the Oando Opportunity Realisation Process. This is a process designed to ensure that any material perceived business opportunity is matured to its possible realization in a stepwise manner, such that the trigger to proceed to the next stage is dependent on demonstration of business value at the preceding step. This process assures that all parameters are considered and all project risks are identified and properly controlled. We have created Environmental Health, Safety, Security and Quality (EHSSQ) standards that assure management that operational risks in the downstream, midstream and upstream businesses are fully identified and mitigated.

In order to sustain our growth strategy, we would continuously improve on our processes to ensure we work effectively and efficiently, improve on our risk management methodology and ensure we work within the boundaries that we set for the company.

relations with Shareholders

Communications The Board considers effective communication with its investors, whether institutional, retail or employee shareholders, to be of uttermost importance. The Company reports formally to shareholders throughout the year, with the quarterly results announcement and the preliminary announcement of the full-year results. Shareholders are issued with the fullyear Report and Accounts. These reports are posted on the website. The Company also makes other announcements from time to time, which can be found on the website. Management meet with institutional investors on a regular basis, providing an opportunity to discuss, in the context of publicly available information, the progress of the business. Institutional investors and analysts are also invited to attend briefings by the Company following the announcements of the full and quarterly results. Copies of the presentations given at these briefings are posted on the website.

Constructive use of the Annual General Meeting

The notice of meeting is sent to shareholders at least 21 working days before the AGM. The Directors encourage the participation of shareholders at the AGM, and are available, both formally during the meeting and informally afterwards, for questions. The Chairmen of the Audit and Governance and Nomination Committees are all available to answer questions at the AGM.

Compliance statement

The Company has met the requirements of the SEC Code of Corporate Governance for the financial year ended 31 December 2011. Late submission of Audited Accounts to the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the year ended 31 December 2011 were filed in default of 21days after due date, although the Nigerian Stock Exchange had earlier extended the time for submission of the accounts to 30 April 2012. The sum of N500,000.00 was paid as penalty. The Board will ensure maximum compliance in the coming year.

Oando PLC hosted quarterly conference calls in 2011, giving investors an opportunity to interact with senior management and ask any questions they have with regards to the running of the business. The investor relations team also attended numerous conferences and organized roadshows within and outside Nigeria in an attempt to reach out to existing and potential investors globally. Oando PLC values the importance and role our investors have played in the Company’s progress and therefore makes a conscious effort to keep them updated on the company’s activities and also get constructive feedback. We plan to continue in this light in 2012.

2011 Corporate Social Responsibility Report

Oando is at the forefront of pioneering a sustainable and replicable model for youth empowerment and community development through education. At Oando, we believe that primary education is the paramount pillar to foster the next generation of our nation’s workforce. To this end, in 2007, we initiated the Adopt-A-School Programme, our signature Education Programme, with the overall aim of increasing access to quality basic education in Nigeria. We work closely with representatives of States and the Federal Government to: • Enhance educational infrastructure and improve the learning environment in public primary schools • Provide teacher’s training, educational resources and teaching aids for effective learning in public primary schools • Create a pool of Oando Scholars through scholarship support for the academically gifted Currently, we have adopted 28 Government owned primary schools in Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Cross River, Delta, Katsina, Lagos, Kaduna, Ogun, and River States. In 2011, we completed the renovation of 16 of our schools. In 2012, we plan to launch a technology driven teachers/students empowered programme for 17,292 students and 399 teachers of our adopted primary schools nationwide.

Scholarships

Oando, as part of its set agenda of promoting education for youths in Nigeria, awarded scholarships to 118 students. The grants are designed to relieve the financial burden of the less privileged children in the society who have either dropped out of school or would otherwise have limited opportunities to formal basic education. The beneficiaries were: • 80 indigent children from communities where Gaslink Nigeria Limited operates in Lagos sponsored under the Back-toSchool Scholarship Programme. • 38 members of the Xplicit Dance Group, an entertainment enterprise made up of mostly orphans and indigent children, who were awarded tuition fees and provided with computer equipment. 25 of the beneficiaries are currently in University, 10 in secondary school and 3 in primary school. 62

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Sustainable Community Development Programme

Social Development: Oando is actively involved in the provision of social amenities and improving the quality of life in our host communities through projects and sustainable social investments. We touch all our stakeholders’ economic, social and cultural aspirations through projects that are innovative and impactful. A major project in the year under review was the construction of a 3km Access Road linking Ikot Efanga, Akpabuyo community to the highway leading to the Akwa Ibom State Capital.

Economic Empowerment

Oando’s policy is to empower individuals within the communities to be financially stable and gainfully employed. Our staffing policy is to empower host communities by recruiting skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labour to fill suitable positions. The Group also encourages our joint venture partners and contractors to fill suitable positions from host communities as a form of empowerment. In 2011, 10,188 skilled and semi-skilled workers were meaningfully engaged within our host communities.

Oando Foundation

Oando is committed to sustaining its contributions to societal development over and above the implementation of community projects directly related to the Company’s core business operations. In 2011, The Group established the Oando Foundation as an independent non profit organisation to spearhead projects across Nigeria with the purpose of achieving access to universal basic education and economic empowerment. The Group is committed to funding the Foundation through annual donations of 1.5% of its pre-tax profits in the first year and 1% in subsequent years. The Group will also support the Foundation with in-kind donations to cover administrative and operational costs. The Foundation is currently being registered in the UK and US with an internationally recognized Board of trustees and will seek partnerships and funds globally to further its cause.

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

report of the Directors

2011 Corporate Social Responsibility Report Continued

Developments & Initiatives of the Human Capital Management Department Oando has a long tradition of attracting, developing and investing in talent within the organization. We aim to ensure we have a competitive workforce to support our business now and in the future. Our Human Capital Management (HCM) team continuously focuses on maintaining and strengthening the performance of the organization, as well as attracting high potential professionals.

In 2011, the HCM Department focused mainly on broadening, consolidating and institutionalising existing initiatives and processes with particular emphasis on talent management and people development.

recruitment, Selection & Attrition Management

Oando takes a proactive approach to finding the right talent for the future. A total of eighty eight (88) full time employees were employed into the organisation in 2011. Of this number, thirteen (13) joined in the Management Staff Cadre and seventy five (75) in the NonManagement Staff Cadre. The Oando Graduate Trainee (GT) Programme, initiated in 2008, continues to attract the very best of young minds from across various disciplines. In 2011, we were again able to attract twelve (12) young professionals (trainees) with little or no work experience to the GT program after an extensive and thorough selection process to select the best candidates. Successful trainees from previous batches have been fully integrated into the company as full term permanent employees. As we continue our drive to attract and retain the best talent with special focus on our growth businesses, Oando was a prominent participant at the Lagos Business School (LBS) career fair. The career fair at LBS attracts interns for the internship program and not for experienced hire opportunities.

64

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Given the continued success with the GT Programme and the LBS recruitment drive, we have made significant progress in growing talent and creating a pipeline of technically and morally competent individuals, while keeping attrition rate steady at 8%.

Talent Management and People Development

Another key area of concern is the provision of high quality training and support for our workforce. Our view is that employee development is a continuous process, thus we target a range of courses to help enhance our workforce. The HCM team rolled out two courses – Strategic Talent Management and Business Acumen. Strategic Talent Management embeds HCM skills into current line roles to ensure that talent and knowledge sharing is practiced and shared, thereby developing and retaining key talent in the organization. The Business Acumen course ensures that we all understand the essentials of business – market dynamics, strategic thinking and business modelling amongst other competencies. OMP commenced the Training School project on 13th June, 2011 with the first training session on 5th December, 2011. The start-up objective of the training school was to have a state of the art training facility where we would conduct various in-house training for staff and business partners in line with our 70:20:10 Talent Management model, which aims to conduct job specific trainings that would address specific competency gaps in the downstream sector. The Training School is located near the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos. The facility can adequately accommodate 90 delegates and is effectively manned with a Training School Administrator and Receptionist.

Great Place to Work

Our commitment to foster an exciting and great place to work requires the input of everyone. As part of the effort to appropriately benchmark and align our organization globally, we participated in a global survey of leading organizations, conducted by the Great Place to Work Institute. The Great Place to Work Institute is a global research and management

consultancy firm that helps organizations create and sustain great workplaces. The results reflected employees’ perception of Oando, relative to the top 100 companies globally across the 5 common themes – Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride, and Camaraderie which are in line with our core values – TRIPP. The results also indicated a strong sense of pride and belief in management credibility across the organization, while key focus areas for improvement were respect and fairness. A town hall meeting was held for all employees on the 9th of December 2011, of which the final result will be used to formulate the 2012 Oando people initiatives for the organization.

Oando Competency Framework

2011 was a year of systematic investment in talent as seen by continued development and implementation of ground-breaking programs, including the revamp of the competency framework. The HCM team began the review and revamp of the Oando competency framework with a shift in focus from specific/unique job roles to a job family approach across the organization. The review of the framework will be implemented in phases and involves standardizing our Job Titles and aligning with Career Path models. Creating a competency framework is an effective method to assess, maintain, and monitor the knowledge, skills, and attributes of people in the organization. The framework will allow Oando measure current competency levels to ensure that our staff have the expertise needed to add value to the business. It will also help our managers make informed decisions about talent recruitment, retention, and succession strategies. And, by identifying the specific behaviours and skills needed for each role, it will enable us budget and plan for the training and development needs of Oando staff. The process of creating a competency framework is long and complex. The increased level of understanding and linkage between individual roles and organizational performance makes the effort well worth it.

Our commitment to foster an exciting and great place to work requires the input of everyone. As part of the effort to appropriately benchmark and align our organization globally, we participated in a global survey of leading organizations, conducted by the Great Place to Work Institute.

remuneration, Benefits and Employee Welfare

During the course of the year, several remuneration and salary surveys were carried out to confirm our competitiveness within our market and in line with our corporate reward strategy. The Company also continued to maintain her reputation as an employer of choice as salary reviews were implemented with employees receiving a pay rise based on performance as well as to help cushion the effects of inflation in the economy. Finally, based on both individual and business performances, eligible employees received incentives in the form of both cash and shares under the Oando Management Performance Plan (OMPP), Oando Profit Sharing Plan (OPSP) and the GCE’s Discretionary Bonus. Stock Options were also granted under the Oando Staff Equity Participation Scheme. In order to provide Oando employees with the best Medical Care, a review of selected HMO's was carried out between May and June 2011.

Oando Employee Equity Incentive Scheme (OEEIS) The year ended 31st December 2011 was year 1 of cycle 3 of the Oando Staff Equity Participation Scheme. This year marked the beginning of the 3rd cycle of the Scheme. A total of 72,764,533 units were offered to 500 eligible employees under the Stock Option Plan at a strike price of N41.13. None of the options vested in 2011. An additional 11,406,568 units of the Company’s shares were listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and awarded to eligible employees, under the Management Share Award Scheme during the year 2011.

Environment, Health, Safety, Security and Quality Committee

This report provides an overview of activities within Oando PLC and its subsidiaries with respect to Environment, Health, Safety, Security, Quality and Community Affairs (EHSSQ/SCA) achievements as a company, in line with our EHSSQ Business plan. EHSSQ/SCA activities within the Company in 2011 were largely driven by 2 (two) core objectives for the year: • Enhanced EHSSQ awareness, with emphasis on employees’ health – fitness and wellness (work life balance). • World Class Quality Standards (Deliver ISO-9001 Certification across the Oando Group) All the entities, with the exception of Oando Energy Services, underwent ISO 9001:2008 surveillance audits by Standards Organisation of Nigeria, an ISO certification body. All the entities retained their certificates, and a gap analysis was conducted for Oando Energy Services. With these ISO certifications, Oando has demonstrated its ability to remain customer focused as well as its commitment to meeting the quality needs of its customers. With the Quality Management Systems in place in the various entities, accidents, errors and reworks were greatly reduced, while operational efficiency and effectiveness – with a customer-focus orientation – were enhanced. In 2011, Oando achieved zero fatality in all its facilities and the EHSSQ department made significant progress in boosting awareness campaigns and trainings for staff. In particular, health awareness was increased as evident in activities carried out during our EHSSQ Week and World Aids Day programs. EHS-MS audits/MFIs were conducted in line with our EHSQ business plan for the year. With 2 Rigs in operation, the company experienced an increase in the number of Hazard Identification Reports (HIRs) received from staff and a decrease in incidents resulting in fewer Lost Time Injuries (LTI).

66

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Nevertheless, we still experienced a series of road accidents from third party contractors, in spite of increased awareness campaigns carried out. Re-orientation of truck drivers and aggressive truck inspections were tools employed to reduce the number of unnecessary fatalities experienced on Nigerian roads.

Oando PLC’s quest for world class operation continues to impact on excellent execution and attracts the attention of industry watchers. In January 2011, it received an award for Overall Safety Achievement from the Central Emergency Medical Clearing House (CEMCH), in conjunction with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and Institute of Disaster, Safety and Security Management in Nigeria. The award was in recognition of the Company’s achievement and contribution to safety management in Nigeria. The Head, EHSSQ, Oando Marketing led a team that received the award on behalf of the Company.

Our 2011 key achievements include the following:

• Organized and managed a successful EHSSQ/SCA Week, which extended to Togo and Ghana facilities. • Organized and managed a successful World Aids Day Commemoration, which extended to a wider audience & increased number of locations. • Facilitated the deployment of specialized EHS-MS Monitoring Tools across entities (e.g. Project Contractor Management tracker at OMP, Action Dashboard Tracker at OGP). • Commenced Annual Medical Screening for all Staff and conducted free Health Screening for OMP Drivers/Transporters. • Conducted EHS–MS Audits, Management Facility Inspection and follow up audits. • Established the Oando Security Control Room to manage security information and send security alerts to staff. • Provided security support for Rig operations. • Provided security support for UNICEM gas project in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States. • Carried out Environmental Evaluation reports (EERs) for most of our service stations. • Secured MOU with OML90 host community – Ogulagha kingdom. • Facilitated Public hearing for Akepo OML 90 Pipeline ROW at Asaba. • Retained the ISO 9001:2008 certificates for Oando entities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF OANDO PLC Report on the financial statements We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of Oando plc (the company) and its subsidiaries (together “the group”) which comprise the balance sheets as of 31 December 2011 and the profit and loss accounts and statements of cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Nigerian Statements of Accounting Standards and with the requirements of the Companies and Allied Matters Act and for such internal control, as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an independent opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Opinion In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the financial affairs of the company and the group at 31 December 2011 and of their profits and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Nigerian Statements of Accounting Standards and requirements of the Companies and Allied Matters Act. Report on other legal requirements The Companies and Allied Matters Act requires that in carrying out our audit we consider and report to you on the following matters. We confirm that: i)

we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit;

ii) in our opinion proper books of account have been kept by the company, so far as appears from our examination of those books; iii) the company’s balance sheet and profit and loss account are in agreement with the books of account.

General information

Oando Plc (formerly Unipetrol Nigeria Plc) was registered by a special resolution as a result of the acquisition of the shareholding of Esso Africa Incorporated (principal shareholder of Esso Standard Nigeria Limited) by the Federal Government of Nigeria. It was partially privatised in 1991 and fully privatised in the year 2000 following the disposal of the 40% shareholding of Federal Government of Nigeria to Ocean and Oil Investments Limited and the Nigerian public. In December 2002, the Company merged with Agip Nigeria Plc following its acquisition of 60% of Agip Petroli’s stake in Agip Nigeria Plc. The Company formally changed its name from Unipetrol Nigeria Plc to Oando Plc in December 2003. Oando Plc (the ""Company”) is listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The Company has a subsidiary called Oando Marketing Limited with retail and distribution outlets in Nigeria, Ghana and Togo and other smaller markets along the West African coast. In 2010, Oando Marketing Limited, a subsidiary of Oando Plc, changed its name to Oando Marketing Plc in preparation for a divestment that is planned for 2011. As of 31 December 2011, Oando Plc retained 100% interest in Oando Marketing Plc, Oando Trading (Bermuda) and Oando Supply and Trading (Nigeria). These entities mainly supply petroleum products to marketing companies and large industrial customers. The Group provides energy services to Exploration and Production (E&P) companies through its fully owned subsidiary, Oando Energy Services. The Group also operates in the E&P sector through Oando Exploration and Production Limited (100%), Oando Production and Development Company Limited (95%), Oando OML 125 & 134 Limited, Equator Exploration Limited (81.5%) and Oando Akepo Limited (100%). Other subsidiaries within the Group and their respective lines of business including Gas and Power, are shown in note 36.

2. 2.1

Statement of significant accounting policies Basis of preparation

The financial statements are prepared in compliance with the Statements of Accounting Standards (SAS). The financial statements are presented in the functional currency, Nigeria Naira (N), rounded to the nearest thousand, and prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain property, plant and equipment. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

2.2 (a)

liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, after reassessment by the Group, the difference is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account any excess remaining after that reassessment.

Consolidation

Subsidiaries Subsidiaries include all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of the acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and

(b)

All balances and unrealised surpluses and deficits on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company. Separate disclosure (in equity) is made of Minority Interests.

Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative postacquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are 77

also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The accounting policies of the associates are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group. All subsidiaries and associates have uniform accounting period. 2.3

(b)

Segment reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are converted into the functional currency, Nigeria Naira, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit and loss account. The functional currency of the upstream companies is the US Dollars with effect from January 1, 2011. The US Dollars is the currency mainly influencing sales and significant portion of upstream costs. Group companies In accordance with the Statement of Accounting Standard (SAS 7), the financial statements of foreign entities, prior to consolidation, are translated into Naira using the Closing Rate Method as follows:

(a) assets and liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary are translated at the closing rate;

residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Building Bulk Plants, Terminal and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

All categories of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Buildings and freehold land are subsequently shown at market value, based on triennial valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss account during the financial period in which they are incurred. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against revaluation reserves; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if it is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains or losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. These are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, the related revaluation reserves are transferred to income statement. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their

The rigs are depreciated according to the estimated useful lives of their components. 2.6

Upstream activities

Exploratory drilling costs are included in property, plant and equipment pending determination of proved reserves. Following such determination, the capitalised costs are then amortised against the results of the successful finds on a ""unit-ofproduction"" basis. Capitalised costs are written off when it is determined that the well is dry. Costs incurred in the production of crude oil from the Company's properties are charged to the income statement of the period in which they are incurred. Tangible fixed assets related to oil and gas producing activities are depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the proved developed reserves of the field concerned except in the case of assets whose useful lives are shorter than the lifetime of the field, in which case the straight-line method is applied. Producible wells are not depleted until they form part of a producing field. Rights and concessions are depleted on the unit-of-production basis over the total proved reserves of the relevant area. Estimated site restoration and abandonment costs are based on current requirements, technology and price levels and are stated at fair value. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related tangible fixed assets. The fair value calculation of the liability is based on the economic life of the production assets and discounted using the Company's average cost of borrowing. The obligation is reflected under provisions in the balance sheet.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies 31 December 2011

2.7 (a)

Intangible assets

Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

2.8

2.9

In accordance with SAS 26, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, as well as when there are indications of impairment.

Computer software Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on internally-developed software is capitalised if it meets the criteria for capitalising development costs. Direct costs include the software development, employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives (not exceeding five years).

Trade receivables

Cash and cash equivalents

Borrowings

2.14

Taxation

Long-term receivable in respect of pipeline cost recovery is accounted for at cost, less provision for impairment. Provision for impairment of the longterm receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivable.

Goodwill is allocated to cashgenerating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Each of those cashgenerating units represents the Group’s investment in each country of operation by each primary reporting segment."

(b)

Long term receivable pipeline cost recovery

2.10

Impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring and transporting the inventory to its present location. Cost is determined using the weighted average method for finished goods and work-in-progress, raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Crude oil and gas inventories are stated at cost. Cost of production comprises field operating expenses and directly related expenditure.

Trade receivables are stated after provisions have been made for debts considered doubtful of recovery. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, except when they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset.

Current income taxes are provided for in the financial statements in accordance with relevant taxation Acts in the country of operation. Deferred income taxes are provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, if a deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, such a deferred income tax is not accounted for. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

79

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies 31 December 2011

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax is not provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, as the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Where this ceases to be the case, deferred income tax will be provided for. 2.15

Employee benefits

The Group operates a defined contribution pension plan in line with the provisions of the Pension Reform Act, under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The assets of all schemes are held in separate trustee administered funds, which are funded by contributions from both the Group and employees. The Group’s contributions to the defined contribution schemes are charged to the profit and loss account in the year to which they relate. In addition, the Group operates a defined benefit service gratuity plan. Under the plan, an employee will receive gratuity on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as years of service and compensation. The past service liability, actuarial gain or loss are determined by an Actuary using the Accrued benefit cost method. Actuarial gains or losses are recognised in the profit and loss account in the year to which they relate. The Group meets past service obligations from funds set aside and invested.

80

Oando PLC 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

2.16

Provisions

In accordance with SAS 23, provisions for environmental restoration, restructuring costs and legal claims are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by consideration of the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

2.17

Share capital

2.18

revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the sale of goods and services, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. Discounts are usually negotiated with commercial customers and are sometimes given on a transaction basis or fixed per customer, subject to subsequent reviews.

(a)

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. Decommissioning liabilities Provision is recognised for the decommissioning liabilities for underground tanks. Based on management's estimation of the future cash flows required for the decommissioning of those assets, a provision is recognised and the corresponding amount added to the cost of the asset under property plant and equipment. The present values are determined using the Company’s average cost of borrowing. Subsequent depreciation charges of the asset are accounted for in accordance with the Group’s depreciation policy and the accretion of discount (i.e. the increase during the period in the discounted amount of provision arising from the passage of time) included in finance costs.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incidental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(b)

(c)

(d)

revenue is recognised as follows:

Sale of petroleum products and gas Revenue from sale of petroleum products and gas is recognised when a Group entity has delivered products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of crude oil is the realised value of crude oil lifted by customers. Revenue is recognised when crude products are lifted by buyers free on board. At the point of lifting, risks and rewards are transferred to the buyer. Sale of services Revenue from sale of services, such as freight and through-put charges, is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided. Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

Interest income Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the contracted interest rate.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies 31 December 2011

2.19

Leases

Operating leases Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Finance leases Leases in which ownership, risks and rewards are transferred to the lessee, who is obligated to pay such costs as insurance, maintenance and similar charges on the asset are classified as finance leases. Assets under finance lease are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful lives in line with the Group's policy for assets of the same class. Finance charges are allocated over the lease term.

2.20

Dividend distribution

2.21

Long-term investments

In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, goodwill is not amortised but individually tested annually for impairment. Impairment testing of goodwill Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units (CGUs) identified according to the business segments. Impairment tests were conducted as at the balance sheet date based on value in use calculations. The calculations used cash flows projections based on financial forecasts covering a five year-period. The discount rate used is the pre-tax interest rate that reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to the business segment. Based on the impairment test, the carrying amount of goodwill is not higher that the recoverable value. Accordingly, no impairment loss has been recognised.

5.2 Software costs

In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, deferred software costs are amortised over 5years. Current year charge of N157.0 million (2010: N162.6million) is included in other administrative expenses.

Impairment

In early 2011, the operator of JDZ Block 2, Sinopec, confirmed that the ‘Bomu’ gas discovery, which is small for deep water, was uneconomic in current conditions and that the rest of the block had insufficient prospecting viability to justify entering the Phase 2 Exploration Period with its obligatory well. A further one year extension was granted by the JDA to end in March 2012 but, nothing occurred to change conclusions of the post Bomu 1 evaluation. During 2011, management decided to exit the exploration of JDZ Block 2, due to volumes of gas discovered which, are not in commercial quantities. The value of N1.5billion has been fully written off to income statement. Disclosure required under Section 134 of the Statement of Accounting Standards is not required in these consolidated financial statements because the turnover from the exploration and production activities does not excced 10% of the Group turnover. Supplementary data, including the standardised measure of oil and gas activities are presented in line with section 138 of the Statement of Accounting Standard No. 14 in the relevant subsidiaries' financial statements.
