Directors' Report pursuant to Listing Rule 5.75.2

For the Period 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2012

This report is published in terms of Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules of The Listing Authority, Malta Financial Services Authority and the Prevention of Financial Markets Abuse Act 2005.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statement figures have been extracted from the Group's unaudited accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2012 and its comparative period in 2011. The comparative consolidated statement of financial position has been extracted from the audited financial statements as at 31 December 2011. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards adopted for use in the EU for interim financial statements (EU adopted IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 31 August 2012. In terms of Listing Rule 5.75.5, the directors state that this half-yearly financial report has not been audited or reviewed by the Group's independent auditors.

Principal activities

The principal activities of the Group, consist of providing services and support to the offshore oil and gas industry operating mainly in the Mediterranean basin with a focus on the industry's activities in North Africa.

Review of performance and outlook

The Group's turnover for the six-month period ended 30 June 2012 amounted to €2,545,888 compared to €3,914,590 registered in the comparative period to 30 June 2011.

The Group registered a loss before tax of €680,589 compared to a profit of €141,137 achieved in the sixmonth period to 30 June 2011. After accounting for taxation, the net profit for the period to 30 June 2012 amounted to €9,765 when compared to a profit of €125,697 for the six month period ended on 30 June 2011.

The Group's results for the first half of the year are lower than forecast with turnover substantially lower than that of the comparative six-month period. Both the Malta base and the Libya base continued to be affected by instability in Libya which is still recovering from the war. Whilst the Malta base benefited from the relocation of oil field equipment from Libya to Malta, the Misurata base whilst open has not yet seen any new business from oil companies renewing operations. However existing fee income at the Misurata base is sufficient to support day to day expenditure so as to provide a break-even situation.

Directors' Report pursuant to Listing Rule 5.75.2

For the Period 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2012

A lease at the port of Limassol in Cyprus has now been signed and preparations are underway to enable the Group to provide a full service to the oil and gas industry offshore Cyprus. Government restrictions on drilling offshore Sicily have now been lifted and the Group is renewing its efforts to obtain business from oil companies likely to conduct operations in the area.

Now that Libyan oil production has largely recovered to pre-war levels increasing attention is being paid to these projects as the country strives to increase its production of fossil fuels to meet demand. The Group is receiving at its Malta base shipments of material in preparation for commencement of these operations. Repairs to subsea structures and maintenance to platforms are also being carried out and in this regard the Group has been awarded a very substantial contract to commence in September of this year. In addition the Group is upgrading its equipment and has invested in excess of one million euro in the past six months in the purchase of a heavy duty crane and other ancillary equipment.

The Group remains confident that the upcoming activity in the Mediterranean basin will be greatly to its benefit and looks to the future with optimism.

Related party transactions

The Group had related party transactions with its directors and other related parties.

Transactions with each category of related parties and the balances outstanding at the end of the reporting periods are set out in note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Dividends

No interim dividends are being recommended.
