Trading Statement

Velosi Limited 29 February 2008 Velosi Limited Trading statement Velosi Limited ('Velosi' or the 'Group'), a provider of asset integrity and HSE services to a number of major national and multinational oil and gas companies, is pleased to announce that trading is in line with market expectations for the 12 months ended 31 December 2007. Favourable market conditions over the last year, boosting the availability of reserves for global long-term oil and gas infrastructure investments amongst the major national and multinational oil and gas companies, has helped Velosi continue its strategy of entering new geographic markets, growing market share in existing markets and expanding through joint ventures and acquisitions. During 2007, new offices were established in Angola, Ghana and Russia and for the first time Velosi began acting as full service supplier in Egypt. In addition to a number of smaller contract wins, significant contracts were won with Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell EP Europe, Confapi (the trade association for small and medium-sized businesses in the industrial sector in Italy) and BP. The Company has demonstrated its ability to deliver cost effective solutions on a global basis, and during 2007 concentrated on building and developing its relationships with key multinationals. The Group is pleased to announce that, since the year end, the new Angolan office has secured a new contract with Chevron. Under the terms of the contract, Velosi will provide Construction Management and Inspection Services personnel to Chevron's oil and gas production operations in Cabinda, Angola. In 2007, Velosi continued to expand its service offering with the addition of an asset integrity management service. Additionally, recent acquisitions have continued to add to the Group's offerings and have provided the opportunity to enter new markets. The acquisitions of Plant Design Engineers Sdn Bhd, based in Malaysia, and Steel Test Pty Limited, based in South Africa, were both completed in March. The acquisitions of K2 Specialist Services Pte Limited, headquartered in Singapore but with operations across Asia Pacific, Middle East and Central Asia, and Intec UK Limited, based in the UK with operations worldwide, were announced in November 2007. The Group continues to evaluate appropriate acquisition opportunities. In the interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2007, announced on 24 September 2007, the Board of Velosi sadly reported that Richard Ogunmakin, General Manager of Velosi Nigeria had been fatally wounded. Richard was a significant shareholder in Velosi Nigeria and negotiations are ongoing with Richard's estate regarding the future ownership and operation of Velosi Nigeria. There is no certainty that the outcome of these negotiations will be favourable to the Group. The Company is confident, however, that any reduction in the contribution from Nigeria will be compensated for by the significant growth in revenues from both existing and new regions, as outlined above, and that the Group's outlook for 2008 remains unchanged. As a result of the high number of significant contracts won in 2007, recent new contract wins, and with synergies and returns from recent acquisitions coming through, the Board remains very positive on the Group's trading outlook for 2008 and beyond. Dr. Nabil Abdul Jalil, CEO, commented: 'With revenue growth across all areas of the globe, 2007 has been a year of expansion for the Group, both through our extended service offerings and through our acquisitions. Market conditions remain favourable and the Board is confident on the outlook for 2008.' - END - For further information Velosi Dr Nabil Abdul Jalil 020 7930 0777 Joe Vincent Strand Partners James Harris 020 7409 3494 Warren Pearce Charles Stanley Mark Taylor 020 7149 6000 Freddy Crossley Cardew Group Tim Robertson 020 7930 0777 Emma Consett Notes to editors: About the Velosi Group The Velosi Group, founded in 1982, provides asset integrity and HSE services to a number of leading national and multinational oil and gas companies, including BP, Shell, ExxonMobil and Chevron.
