Review of results
Oando, which has a primary listing on the Nigerian Stock Exchange ("NSE") and
a secondary listing on the JSE Limited ("JSE"), reports profit after tax
("PAT")for the full year ended 31 December 2011 of US$15.9 million.

Statement of comprehensive income analysis

The Group's revenue increased by 49% while PAT reduced by 79% when compared
to the same period of 2010. Also, profit before tax (PBT) reduced by 37%
compared to the figures for the 2010 period. The performance compared to 2011
is attributable to the following:

Turnover (49% increase)
Turnover increased due to the following:
      - Increase in volume of refined petroleum products (PMS and AGO) sold
        during the year compared to 2010;
      - Higher average crude oil prices in 2011 compared to 2010;
      - 12.15MW Akute Power Plant operated for twelve months in 2011 compared
        to nine months during the same period of 2010;
      - New customers were connected to Gaslink pipeline network; and
      - One of our rigs, Teamwork, operated throughout the year in 2011
        compared to seven months in 2010.

Other operating income (186% increase)
Other operating income increased due to the following:
      - Increased exchange gain was earned during the year due to exchange
         rate fluctuations compared 2010; and
      - Increased project management income was recorded by the Gas and Power
         Division compared to 2010.

Administrative expenses (109% increase)
Administrative expenses increased due to the following:
      - Lower costs were recovered in OML 125 compared to prior year;
      - Additional operating costs (including depreciation) incurred on new
         businesses (rig and independent power plant);
      - Higher volume petroleum products were sold at upcountry locations
         thereby incurring more selling expenses compared to the same period
         in 2010; and
      – Fund raising activities’ costs e.g. GDR and inconclusive bidding for
         upstream assets acquisition were written off in 2011. Similar
         charges did not occur in 2010.

Selling   and marketing expenses (7% increase)
Selling   and marketing expenses increased due to the following:
      –   Higher volumes of petroleum; and
      –   Products transported and sold at the upcountry locations during 2011,
           compared to the 2010 period.

Finance cost (7% increase)
Finance costs increased due to the following:
-       General increase in borrowing costs from an average of about 14% to
   18%; and
-       Additional finance costs on newly operational assets. (For instance,
   interests costs were charged to the income statements for twelve months in
   2011 on the second rig and Akute Power Plant whereas it was capitalized
   for some months in 2010 before commencing operation).

Statement of financial position analysis

Property, plant and equipment (7% increase)
Property, plant and equipment increased due to the following:
    –   Capital expenditure incurred on the power plants, rigs refurbishment
       and upstream assets development.

Non-current receivables(30% increase)
Non-current receivables (cost of gas distribution pipeline assets) increased
due to the following:
    –   to additional capital expenditure on the East Horizon's Gas pipeline
       project and new customers being connected to the Greater Lagos
       distribution network.

Inventory(38% increase)
Inventory for the period increased when compared to 2010 due to the
following:
-       More petroleum products received towards the end of 2011 compared to
   the same period of 2010; and
-       Higher average crude oil prices.

Trade and other receivables (29% increase)
The 21% decrease in trade and other receivables is attributable to:
 -      Additional receivables from new businesses (power plant, OES Teamwork
    which was in operation for a longer period in 2011 when compared to the
    corresponding period in 2010; and
 -      Increase in trading activities in 2011 compared to 2010.

Borrowings
Current and non-current borrowings increased by 8% and 64% due to the
following:
-       Depreciation of the Naira in 2011 relative to the same period of 2010
   resulted in increase in foreign-currency denominated short term
   borrowings;
-       Additional borrowings were secured to finance the capital expenditure
   (rig upgrade, gas pipeline construction and development of upstream
   assets);and
-        Additional funding requirements for import finance due to increase
    costs and volume of petroleum products.

The Group has made reasonable progress in the development of OML 90. We shall
continue our collaboration with relevant partners to develop upstream assets
owned by Equator Exploration Limited, a subsidiary acquired during 2009.

Further growth in upstream portfolio is envisaged through the strategic
acquisition of producing or near term assets. These efforts are intended to
improve contribution by the upstream business to the Group's revenue.
Additional customers were connected to the Greater Lagos distribution network
in order to utilise the additional capacity provided by the completed Greater
Lagos Phase 3 pipeline network.

The Eastern Horizon Gas Company's 128 kilometre pipeline project was
commissioned during the year. This will result in higher revenue and
profitability of the gas and power division. The Federal Government policy on
deregulation of the downstream sector of the petroleum industry is expected
to kick off in 2012.

The Supply & trading business has strategically positioned itself to take
advantage of this window and consolidate its foray into the West African
markets. In addition, the Marketing business has positioned itself to take
full advantage of the inherent gains from the deregulation of the downstream
sector immediately after commencement of this policy.

The Energy services business almost completed refurbishment of the third rig.
The rig is expected to become operational during 2012.

The Group is confident that the diversified asset portfolio will continue to
deliver continuous improved revenue and profitability.

NOTES TO AUDITED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
1. General information
Oando 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. The
Company was partially privatised in 1991. It was however fully privatised
during 2000 consequent upon the sale of Federal Government's 40% shareholding
in the Company. 30% was sold to core investor, Ocean and Oil Investments
Limited, and the remaining 10% to the Nigerian public. In December 2002, the
Company merged with Agip Nigeria Plc following the acquisition of 60% Agip
Petroli's stake of Agip Nigeria Plc in August of the same year. The Company
formally changed its name from Unipetrol Nigeria Plc to Oando Plc during
December 2003.

The principal activity of the Company locally and internationally is
strategic investments in energy companies across West Africa. The Group is
involved in the following business activities via its subsidiary companies:
- Marketing of petroleum products and manufacturing and blending of
   lubricants via Oando Marketing PLC;
- Distribution of natural gas for industrial customers via Gaslink
   Nigeria Limited and East Horizon Gas Company Limited;
- Supply and distribution of petroleum products via Oando Supply and
   Trading, Nigeria and Oando Trading, Bermuda;

   Limited, Oando OML 125 & 134 Limited, Oando Production and Development
   Company Limited.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these
consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of Oando have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of land and buildings, and
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting
policies.
Early adoption of standards
During 2004, the Group early adopted the IFRS below, which are relevant to
its operations. These and changes to IFRS 2, IFRS 1, IFRS 8, IAS 1, IAS 7,
IAS 18,IAS 36, IAS 32, IAS 19 have been considered in the preparation of the
audited financial report for the year ended 31 December 2011.

IAS 1
- The early adoption of IAS 10 has resulted in a change in the accounting
   policy for dividends. Proposed dividends, which were previously
   recognised during the year prior to the declaration, have been adjusted
   in accordance with IAS 10 and 37 respectively.
-   The application IAS 16 has affected the accounting for fair value
   reserve relating to revalued land and buildings upon disposal.
-   Under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the
   revaluation surplus included in equity in respect of an item of
   property, plant and equipment were transferred to the income, when the
   asset is disposed of, to determine profit on disposal. Adjustments have
   been passed to transfer the related amounts directly to retained
   earnings in accordance with IAS 16. Also, early adoption of IAS 16
   (revised 2004) has necessitated the disclosure of prior year
   comparatives for all movements in property plant and equipment.
-   IAS 21 (revised 2003) has affected the translation of foreign entities'
   income statements, on which closing rates were previously applied but
   now amended and translated at average rates. The functional currency of
   each of the consolidated entities has also been re-evaluated based on
   the guidance to the revised standard. All the Group entities have the
   same functional currency as their presentation currency..
-   IAS 24 (revised 2003) has affected the identification of related
   parties and some other related-party disclosures.
-   IAS 27 (revised 2004) has affected the consolidation of subsidiaries.
   Certain subsidiaries, which were not included in the consolidation
   under previous GAAP have now been consolidated.
-   The early adoption of IAS 33 has resulted in a change in the
   computation of earnings per share. Earnings per share, which were
   previously computed on the basis of the number of shares in issue at
   the end of the reporting period, have been adjusted on the basis of the
   weighted average number of shares in accordance with IAS 33.
-   The early adoption of IAS 39 has resulted in a change in accounting for
    financial assets and liabilities.
-     The Group obtained approval for its share option scheme from the
    regulatory authority in February 2009. Accordingly all shared-based
    payment in operation has been subjected to and accounted for under IFRS
    2 for the first time in 2008.
-     The early adoption of IFRS 5 has resulted in a change in the accounting
    for non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations as
    qualifying assets have been reclassified accordingly.
-     The early adoption of IFRS 3, IAS 36 (revised 2004) and IAS 38 (revised
    2004) resulted in a change in the accounting -policy for goodwill.
    Until 31 December 2002, goodwill was:
    -    amortised on a straight line basis over a period ranging from 5 to
         20 years; and
    -    assessed for an indication of impairment at each balance sheet
         date.
-     In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3:
    -    the Group ceased amortisation of goodwill from 1 January 2003; and
    -    accumulated amortisation as at 31 December 2002 has been eliminated
         with a corresponding decrease in the cost of goodwill.
-     Goodwill was tested for impairment at 1 January 2003, the transition
    date. Also, from the year ended 31 December 2003 onwards, goodwill is
    tested annually for impairment, as well as when there are indications
    of impairment. The Group has also reassessed the useful lives of its
    intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of IAS 38. No
    adjustment resulted from this reassessment.

All changes in the accounting policies have been made in accordance with the
transition provisions in the respective standards.
The early adoption of IAS 1, 2, 8, 17 28, and 32 (all revised 2003) did not
result in substantial changes to the Group's accounting policies.
In summary:
- IAS 1, 2, 28 and 32 had no material effect on the Group's policies.
- IAS 8 (revised 2004) has resulted in the disclosure of the impact of new
Standards.

2.2 Consolidation
(a) 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
deconsolidated 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 and the date of plus costs directly attributable to the
acquisition.
Identifiable assets acquired and 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, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. All
balances and unrealised surpluses and deficits on transactions between Group
companies have been eliminated. Where necessary, accounting policies for
subsidiaries have been changed to be consistent with the policies adopted by
the
Company, Separate disclosure (in equity) is made of minority interests.
(b) 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 post-
acquisition
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 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.
Goodwill included in the carrying amount of an investment is neither
amortised
nor tested for impairment separately by applying the requirements for
impairment
testing goodwill in IAS 36, Impairment of Assets. Instead, the entire
carrying
amount of the investment is tested under IAS 36 for impairment.
All subsidiaries and associates have uniform calendar year ends.
2.3 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 return that are different from those of segments
operating
in other economic environments.
2.4 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities
are
measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
entity operates (`the functional currency'). The functional currency of the
Group is the Naira. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US
dollars, which is the Company's presentation currency for the purpose of
filing
outside Nigeria.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency
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 income statement,
except
when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net
investment hedges.
c) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which
has
the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency
different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation
currency as follows:
1 Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated
  at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet.
2 Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average
  exchange rates and all resulting exchange differences are recognised as
  a separate component of equity.
3 On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of
  the net investment in foreign entities are taken to shareholders'
  equity. Upon disposal of part or all of the investment, such exchange
  differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain
  or loss on sale.

3. Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average
number of shares in issue during the period.
