About POGL:
POGL is the holding company of an established and profitable group of companies
engaged in the business of providing integrated, multi-discipline EPCM services
to the oil and gas (onshore and offshore), petrochemical, biodiesel, energy and
other related industries. The group operates primarily in the ASEAN region but
this focus is expanding, with the group having won contracts in the Middle East.
The services of POGL are focused on EPCM services. This is broken down and
incorporates the following features:
- Engineering "E" - specialist engineering design services;
- Procurement "P" - the procurement of the relevant materials and equipment
to meet design specifications such as skid and process equipment; and
- Construction Management "CM" - the management on a client's behalf of the
construction or fabrication of a project. The services can be provided, together
with more general Project Management, either in totality or partially dependent
on the client's requirements. In addition POGL supplies industry specialists to
the oil and gas and related industries.
POGL listed on AIM, a market of the London Stock Exchange, in July 2007. For
more information on the company, please visit www.plantoffshore.com.
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present the interim results of POGL for the period ended 30 June
2009. This period has been a difficult and highly challenging one, not just for
us, but also for numerous other companies worldwide as a result of the global
recession. Our turnover and profit margins have been adversely affected by these
challenges and we are behind management expectations for the full year.
Nevertheless, I am pleased to be able to report that we are still profitable for
the six month period to 30 June 2009 despite the present market
conditions. Also, we believe there is a good possibility of securing new
contracts from Malaysian clients in the second half of this financial year for
EPCM contracts.
With oil prices recovering to $72.69 a barrel in June 2009 compared to the
lowest price of $33.87 a barrel this year, we expect long-term investment in oil
and gas infrastructure to continue and to remain strong. Also, given the high
demand for oil and gas products in most industries throughout the world, there
is a positive effect on the provision of oil and gas services.
Notwithstanding the near-term adverse industry conditions, the Board believes
the long term outlook remains favourable. We believe demand for POGL's EPCM
services should, over time, increase as overall energy demand and use over the
long-term is expected to continue to increase steadily, particularly in
developing countries. Besides this, we will continue to tender and negotiate
with clients for new contracts to replenish our order book. We remain cautiously
optimistic that these tenders and negotiations will turn into contracts in the
second half of this financial year. Our current major client is Oilfab Sdn Bhd
and we expect new oil and gas contracts from them. We also have tenders in place
for an oil and gas contract with RBS International Sdn Bhd and are in
negotiations with a Malaysian healthcare and nutraceutical company for an EPCM
contract. However, we acknowledge that, given the general weak market sentiment,
the timing of awarding of new contracts from clients is uncertain.
Financial Performance
Group revenue, profit from operations, profit before tax and basic earnings per
share for the six months ended 30 June 2009 declined compared with the six
months ended 30 June 2008. This was largely due to our clients' request to delay
some existing projects and thinning profit margins attributed to stiff
competition from our competitors. In addition, the current weak market sentiment
has led to a lower level of investment, resulting in fewer available contracts
in the marketplace.
Group revenue was down 26% to RM24.5m (GBP4.5m), profit from operations down 43%
to RM1,099,000 (GBP201,000), profit before tax down 47% to RM956,000
(GBP175,000), basic earnings per share was also down 58% to RM0.004 (GBP0.0007)
and group cash flow from operating activities decreased by 85% to RM394,000
(GBP72,000).
Current trading and outlook
During the period under review, we have completed two engineering contracts in
Malaysia. We have seven ongoing EPCM contracts in hand that are expected to
complete by the end of 2009. However, some of the group's existing projects have
been delayed due to changes in the clients' design specifications and
requirements. One project in particular, the EPCM of a biodiesel production
plant in Indonesia, has been temporarily put on hold due to the weak local
economy. However, we expect this project to kick-start again, at the latest, by
the second quarter of 2010. Besides this, a few contracts that we expect to
secure this year have been delayed. We have also experienced a delay in the
receipt of payments from our clients. As a result, we anticipate results for the
full year will be below management expectations. Notwithstanding this, and
despite the various challenges faced by the group, we are able to manage our
cash flow position.
The group currently has ongoing contracts and work in progress in excess of
RM151 million, covering the next 18 months. In addition, the group has tendered
for onshore and offshore oil and gas contracts in Malaysia and overseas
amounting to RM426 million. However, given the general weak market sentiment,
the timing of awarding of new contracts from clients is uncertain.
Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all our
management and staff for their continued dedication, hard work and commitment
during the period under review. Your patience and dedication in this trying
period is greatly appreciated.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Report for the six months ended 30 June 2009
1. Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The financial information contained in the Interim Results has been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted
by the European Union. It has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim
Financial Reporting" and does not include all of the information required for
full annual financial statements. Full details of the accounting policies
adopted which are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements for the year ending 31 December 2008.
(b)Basis of consolidation
The consolidated income statement and balance sheet include financial statements
of the company and its subsidiaries made up to 30 June 2009.
(c)Nature of financial information
The financial information contained in this Interim Results for the six months
ended 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2008 are unaudited. The comparative figures for
the year ended 31 December 2008 do not constitute statutory financial statements
of the group. Full audited accounts of the Group in respect of that financial
period prepared in accordance with IFRS, which we received an unqualified audit
opinion have been delivered to Registrar of Companies.
(d)Restatement of comparative
The comparative financial information for the period ended 30 June 2008 has been
restated as a result of application of the Intangible Assets in accordance
with IAS38.
(e) Revenue recognised for contract is in accordance to IAS 11 - Construction
Contracts. Where the outcome of a contract work can be reliably estimated,
contract revenue and contract costs are recognised as revenue and expenses
respectively by using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion is
measured by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for work
performed to date to the estimated total contract costs. Where the outcome of a
contract work cannot be reliably estimated, contract revenue is recognised to
the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.
Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are
incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total
contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
(f) Significant accounting policies
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
applying the same accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of
the Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2008 except for the adoption of the following new and amended reporting
standards, which are effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January
2009:
* IAS1 (revised) - "Presentation of Financial Statements"
A new primary statement, "Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity" is
required containing information previously disclosed in the notes to the
accounts. In addition, the Consolidated Statement of Recognised Income and
Expense is replaced with the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income,
which may be shown separately or combined with the Income Statement.
* IFRS8 - "Operating Segments"
This standard replaces IAS14 - "Segment Reporting" which required operating
segments to be analysed into Primary (business) and Secondary (geographical)
segments. IFRS8 requires that operating segments should be aligned with those
reviewed by the "Chief Operating Decision Maker" which is considered to be the
Board of Directors.
Various other amendments to standards and interpretations of standards are
effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009 as detailed in the
2008 Annual Report, none of which have any impact on reported results.
