Review of results
Oando, which has a primary listing on the Nigerian Stock Exchange ("NSE") and a
secondary listing on JSE Limited ("JSE"), reports profit after tax ("PAT") for
the period ended 30 June 2010 of US$44.41 million.
Income statement analysis
Revenue increased by 4% when compared with the same period in 2009. The Group
also recorded a 71% increase in profit after tax in comparison with the same
period in 2009. The performance was mainly due to the following:
- The Group commenced revenue generation from Lagos State Water
Corporation ("LSWC") Independent Power Producer ("IPP") project in
March 2010.
- The Energy Services division hired out its second drilling rig and
commenced revenue generation during the first half of 2010.
- There was an improvement in the gross margin percentage from an average
of 8% in 2009 to 16% during this year. This is due to higher margins
returned by the new businesses (power generation and drilling rigs). In
addition, delayed settlement of the Petroleum Support Fund ("PSF")
receivables in 2009 increased cost of sales for the Supply and Trading
division of the business. There has been an improvement in the payment
processes for the PSF receivables during the period as a result of the
Sovereign Debt Note issued by the Federal Government of Nigeria (the
"Government") as a guarantee to support and ensure payment of the
subsidy.
Expenses review
Marketing and selling expenses increased by 13%. This was driven by increased
dealers` commission and transportation costs arising from sale of more products
at inland locations in 2010. Administrative expenses increased when compared to
previous year due to the operational costs and depreciation of the drilling rigs
and IPP project which were charged to the income statement in 2010.
Finance costs increased during the period compared to the corresponding period
in 2009 as a result of recognition of finance costs on the drilling rigs and IPP
assets in the income statement in 2010. Similar costs were previously
capitalised because the assets had not been put into use.
Balance sheet analysis
Property, plant and equipment increased by 25% while pipeline assets` costs rose
by 22% over the corresponding balance in 2009. This increase was as a result of
additional capital expenditure on ongoing projects such as the East Horizon Gas
Company Limited ("EHGC") pipeline project and upstream assets development.
Inventory reduced by 45% compared to the same period of 2009 as a result of
effort at optimising stock holding to reduce working capital requirements.
Trade and other debtors increased by 8%. This was attributable to additional
trade debts arising from sales from new businesses (drilling rigs and IPP
assets). No revenue and trade debts were booked for drilling rigs and IPP assets
during the same period of 2009.
Future prospects
The investments hitherto made in upstream assets, drilling rigs and IPP assets
have started yielding returns.
In order to extract crude oil efficiently and at minimal cost from the
Obodetti/Obodogua field of oil mining licence ("OML") 56 a pipeline construction
was completed and commissioned at the end of the second quarter of 2010. This
will improve the volume and reduce transportation costs for crude oil produced
from this oilfield. The Company is finalising necessary processes required to
boost oil production with a view to further enhance revenue and profit
contribution of the upstream business.
The commissioned LSWC IPP project has been operating steadily with a positive
impact on the Group`s revenue and profit contribution. The ongoing construction
work at the EHGC`s 128 kilometre pipeline project has progressed well during the
period. Management`s full attention will be focussed on completing the project
before the end of the calendar year.
Although no definite pronouncements have been made on deregulation of the
downstream sector of the oil and gas industry, a number of measures were taken
to assure marketers of the prompt reimbursement of costs for imported petroleum
products. These measures include Government`s guarantee in the form of sovereign
notes, which has improved product availability and reduced working capital
requirements and related costs. The Company expects that this intervention by
Government will continue to positively affect volume and profitability of the
Group`s downstream businesses.
Oando`s Energy Services division has deployed another drilling rig into
operation while refurbishment and contracting for the third one is being
finalised.
The current performance reflects the solidity of our strategy and it is our
opinion that the current trend will continue for the rest of the year.

The Group is organised into six main business divisions:
- Exploration and Production ("E&P"): This division is involved in the
exploration for and production of oil and gas through the acquisition
of rights in oil blocks on the Nigerian continental shelf and deep
offshore. The E&P segment of the business owns interests in, amongst
others, OML 56, OML 90, OML 123 and OML 134 and oil prospecting licence
("OPL") 236 and OPL 278.
- Refining and Terminals: This division is involved in the refining of
crude and storage and logistics for distribution of petroleum products.
This division was recently carved out of the downstream marketing
business. It has initiated steps towards establishing a refinery at the
Lekki Free Trade Zone in Lagos.
- Gas and Power: This division is involved in the distribution of natural
gas through its subsidiaries, Gaslink Nigeria Limited ("GNL") and East
Horizon Gas Company Limited ("EHGC"). GNL operates about 100 kilometres
of the Greater Lagos natural gas distribution franchise and has
connected over one hundred industrial customers. EHGC is constructing
a 128 kilometre natural gas pipeline network to supply natural gas to
United Cement Company ("UNICEM") and other customers at Calabar,
Eastern Nigeria. The Division also incorporated Akute Power Limited
that is building an independent power plant to supply electricity to
LSWC.
- Energy services: This division is involved in the provision of services
such as drilling and completion fluids and solid control waste
management; oil-well cementing and other services to upstream E&P
companies. The division presently has five swamp drilling rigs.
- Marketing: This division is involved in retail and commercial sales of
refined petroleum products with over 600 retail outlets in Nigeria and
other West African countries.
- Supply and trading: This division imports petroleum products for sale
to marketing companies and other corporate bodies within and outside
Nigeria.

Notes to results
1. General information
Oando (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. The Company was partially privatised in 1991. It was
however fully privatised in the year 2000 consequent to the sale of the
Government`s 40% shareholding in the Company. Of the Government`s holding, 30%
was sold to core investors (Ocean and Oil Investments Limited) and the remaining
10% was sold to 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 in August of the same year. The Company formally changed its
name from Unipetrol Nigeria Plc to Oando Plc in December 2003.
The principal activity of the Company both locally and internationally is
strategic investment in energy companies across West Africa. The Group is
involved in the following business activities via its subsidiary companies:
- Marketing of petroleum products, manufacturing and blending of
lubricants - Oando Marketing Limited;
- Distribution of natural gas for industrial customers - Gaslink Nigeria
Limited;
- Supply and distribution of petroleum products - Oando Supply and
Trading, Nigeria and Oando Trading, Bermuda;
- Energy services to upstream companies - Oando Energy Services;
- Exploration and Production - Oando Exploration and Production.
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
In 2004, the Group early adopted the IFRS below, which are relevant to its
operations. These have been consistently applied in this unaudited financial
report for the six months period ended 30 June 2010.
IAS 2 (revised 2003) Inventories
IAS 8 (revised 2003) Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors
IAS 10 (revised 2003) Events after the Balance Sheet Date
IAS 16 (revised 2003) Property, Plant and Equipment
IAS 17 (revised 2003) Leases
IAS 21 (revised 2003) The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
IAS 24 (revised 2003) Related Party Disclosures
IAS 27 (revised 2003) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
IAS 28 (revised 2003) Investments in Associates
IAS 32 (revised 2003) Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation
IAS 33 (revised 2003) Earnings per share
IAS 36 (revised 2004) Impairment of Assets
IAS 38 (revised 2004) Intangible Assets
IAS 39 (revised 2003) financial instruments: Recognition and measurement
IFRS 2 (issued 2004) Share-based payments
IFRS 3 (issued 2004) Business Combinations
IFRS 5 (issued 2004) Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued IFRIC 10
(Issued 2006) Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment.
- The early adoption of IAS 10 has resulted in a change in the accounting
policy for dividends. Proposed dividends, which were previously
recognised in the year prior to the declaration, have been adjusted in
accordance with IAS 10 and 37 respectively.
- The application of IAS 16 has affected the accounting for the fair
value reserve relating to revalued land and buildings upon disposal.
- Under previous GAAP, the revaluation surplus included in equity in
respect of an item of property, plant and equipment were transferred to
the income statement when the asset was 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. In addition, 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. These
financial statements have been presented in a currency other than the
Company`s functional currency, being US Dollars, which is the Company`s
presentation currency for the purpose of filing outside Nigeria
- 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
Nigerian regulatory authority in February 2009. Accordingly all shared-
based payments 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
of non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations and
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 fair value 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 (EPS)
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.
2010 2009
Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company 44.26 26
