IntroductionDistinguished shareholders, members of the Board of Directors of MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, invited guests, ladies and gentlemen; I have the pleasure to welcome you all to the 43rd Annual General meeting of our great company. I have the privilege, to also present to you the Annual report and the financial statements of MRS Oil Nigeria Plc for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Operating EnvironmentSome local and global challenges that emanated from the widespread financial crises of mid-2008 are still critical determinants of operations within the industry. A cheering aspect of this economic scenario is that developing and emerging markets has shown faster and stronger recovery and growth rates than those of most developed economies.

This fact is buttressed by an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report which states that the real world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) forecast was about 4.5% in early January 2011 and reached a zenith of about 8.2% by May of the same year. Interestingly, the Emerging Market (EM) economies remained the actual drivers and stimulators of global economic growth.

Conversely, the growth in the Developed Economies (DE) has tended to slow down the overall global economic growth rate because most of the large names are still battling to resolve their financial crises which arose from the global economic meltdown of 2008.

Significantly, these economic challenges coupled with social and political issues have invariably affected and dictated the pace of global business environment.

There is no gainsaying the fact that the Arab Spring which started as a populist revolt in Tunisia, spread with devastating consequences to Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria and Bahrain. The backlash from these social revolts in these countries had a telling effect on global business and by extension our business operations within the period under review.

With all pleasure, I make bold to say that our company performed creditably well in spite of the unfavourable economic impacts emanating from local and global challenges. This impressive Performance Index is a direct testimonial of the purposeful management and committed workforce that our company- MRS Oil Nigeria Plc- has in place.

During the year under review, the operating environment was influenced, largely, by some variables which impacted on the general operations of our company. I will briefly review some of the major aspects of the socio-political and economic developments that shaped our overall performance and financial results despite the daunting challenges that confronted the industry locally and globally.

Economic EnvironmentGlobally, the outlook has remained positive and relatively fragile with oil production output averaging 2.17 million barrels per day with a high of 2.30million barrels per day as a result of the relative stability and peace in the Niger Delta region.

As a consequence of some of the factors that I have mentioned in the earlier part of this presentation, oil pricing per barrel rose from US$81 per barrel as at the end of 2010 to US$101.78

per barrel at the close of 2011 showing a volatile rate of price fluctuation.

In the first quarter of the year under review, the exchange rate of the Naira remained stable inline with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) renewed stance on fiscal stabilization and other policies designed to re-position the Nigerian economy.

Mid-way into the year (2011), the concerted efforts of the CBN to stabilize the Naira collapsed as the exchange rate attained a high of N151 to US$1 as a result of the huge demand for forex and the attendant increase in the interest rate environment. This scenario contributed substantially to the unfavourable business environment of this period under review that was further compounded by external pressure.

The Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) reported a performance rating of 24,621.21 points in the first quarter of 2011 as against 24,770.52 points at the close of 2010, this indicated a decline in general performance of quoted companies and virile transactions on the equity market. But with Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) which was established by the federal government in 2010 to revive the financial system by efficiently resolving the non-performing loan assets of the banks in the Nigerian economy, there is hope for future improvement.

It is important to note that the difference between 2010 and 2011 rating was partly due to the external pressure from European banks whose lending capacity have been largely affected by the sovereign debt crises.

In spite of the pre-emptive contractionary policy by the CBN, the rate of inflation still hovered in double digits in 2011 (10.85%). Some of the factors that have impacted on this scenario include the increasing energy and food prices; and the anticipated implementation of the Federal Government’s deregulation policy in the oil industry.

Nigeria’s economic structure is undiversified and highly dependent on its capital intensive oil sector. The country’s GDP for the year in review was a high of 7.69% which still ranked it as one of the 10 fastest growing economies in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa.

It is note-worthy to say that the Federal Government of Nigeria has taken steps aimed at re-directing, re-positioning and restructuring the economy to create an enabling environment for investment and trade in the country.

Outstanding among these proactive and decisive measures and policies are: - a. Ensuring zero tolerance for corrupt and corruptive

activities in private and public business undertakings and transactions.

b. Reform and sanitization of the capital market and its regulatory bodies to boost shareholders’ and investors’ confidence.

c. Relentless and sustainable banking reforms to remove insider abuse and conversion of depositors fund to selfish purposes.

d. The ongoing unbundling and privatization of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) etc.

Chairman’s Statement

Significantly, the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) became operational and effected impressive interventions in the economy. With these key indications, the Federal Government’s readiness to create the desired enabling environment for the country’s economic growth and development is very glaring and in line with its transformation policy.

Political EnvironmentThough, some level of sanity and safety has been restored in the Niger Delta region due to the diligent implementation and prosecution of the Federal Government’s amnesty programme for repentant militants who virtually shut down the upstream sector of the oil industry. It is pertinent to note that prevalent spate of kidnappings, especially in some states of the southern part of the country; ethno-sectarian violence and confrontations and the fatal bomb blasts in the upper segment of the country contributed in no small measure to trigger capital flight and divestment in some areas.Due to the ripple effects of the violence and political changes that followed some areas of the Arab Spring, the global economy, especially oil price regime, fluctuated and created its own peculiar problems.

Overall, the security breaches and challenges raised the political temperature of the country and scared away potential local and foreign investors and entrepreneurs.

The IndustryThe continued relative peace and stability in the once-volatile Niger Delta region has contributed greatly to the increase in Nigeria’s oil production capacity from 2.2mb/day to an average of 2.30mb/day at the close of 2011. Despite the fact that the unstable movements in the prices of crude oil in the global market persisted during the year in review, there was no upward review of prices of petroleum products.

The downstream sector of the Nigeria oil industry is faced with serious operating challenges due to the peculiarities of both the country’s oil sector and the uncertainties and the volatile nature of the international oil market.

Some of the other contentious issues that has slowed down the growth and development of the downstream sector are: -

a. Lack of diligent implementation of the policy of full deregulation that will engender positive com-petitiveness.

b. Lack of private sector investment initiatives to participate in its opportunities.

c. Lack of diligence, transparency, accountability, efficiency and effectiveness in the oil industry.

It is gratifying to note that the Federal Government of Nigeria has put in place some measures designed to alleviate, ameliorate and outrightly eliminate those factors that have tended to stunt the growth and development of the country’s oil sector.

My fellow shareholders, the decision of the federal Government of Nigeria to particularly remove fuel subsidies with a full deregulation regime in sight, calls for our commendation. It is envisaged that the full deregulation of the downstream sector will attract further investments and bring into play, competition and fair pricing of all petroleum products.

With all pleasure, I make bold to say that our company performed creditably well in

spite of the unfavourable economic impacts emanating from local and global challenges. This impressive Performance Index is a direct

testimonial of the purposeful management and committed workforce that our company-

MRS Oil Nigeria Plc- has in place.

Our CompanyIn consonance with our avowed vision “To be the leading integrated African energy company recognized for its People, Excellence and Values” your company – MRS Oil Nigeria Plc – is deeply committed to achieving quality results and strides without compromising safety, operational excellence and strict compliance with the highest ethical and corporate standards.

The major steps taken by your company, in spite of the challenges encountered in 2011, to consolidate our position as the leading player in the downstream sector included: -

• The secondment of new streams of staff from our sister organization, MRS Oil and Gas to enhance performance and transfer relevant technology.

• Themaintenanceofazero-levellabourcon-frontationbetween management and staff.

• ThetrainingofstaffmembersontheongoingSAPimplementation was vigorously pursued.

• The engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers firmof consultants for the implementation of the IFRS compliance requirement which is very crucial to the realization of the company’s goal of transparent reporting and meeting globally-certified reporting requirements. The training is vital for both Non-Executive Directors and staff members concerned.

• Expansionandupdatingofthecompany’sexistingservice station’s facilities and lube production lines to enhance its participation in and share of the market.

Dividend DeclarationThe board is pleased to recommend for your approval a total dividend payment of N177,792,070.40 which represents N0.70k per share subject to the deduction of appropriate withholding taxes. The payment is in consonance with our commitment to deliver reasonable and due returns to shareholder’s investment.

2012 OutlookIt is envisaged that the year 2012 will, much like 2011, bring forth new challenges that will enhance and expand the scope of our business activities, albeit positively.We hope to continue to operate and prosper in a socio-political and technologically demanding environment.We will meet these challenges head – on and build on our unique and entrenched Pan African roots while leveraging on our present position and strength within the MRS Group.Furthermore we will, together, put MRS Oil Nigeria Plc on the global listing of world-class companies by pursuing “excellence through partnership”.The probable economic indices expected in the year 2012 include: -• Aninflationrate of between 12.5% - 13.5% which will be

fallout of a high consumer price index growth triggered off by an eventual full deregulation.

• AnexchangerateofN162toUS$1• GrossDomesticProduct(GDP)growthtobesustained

at 6.5% - 7.5% as global GDP growth rate.

• The stabilization of the domestic debt profile at aboutN5.62 trillion.

• Anexternalreserve of about US$32.64bn

My dear fellow shareholders, it is my fervent belief that the expected growth in 2012 will be largely defined by the Federal Government’s holistic approach to finding a lasting solution to the spate of bombings, kidnappings, armed robberies and other security breaches and challenges hindering business activities in most states of the country.

In addition, the sustenance of a favourable exchange rate regime and the provision of basic rural and urban infrastructure will greatly reinforce the government’s professed willingness to provide the enabling environment to do business in Nigeria.

On our part, we have resolved to continue to create beneficial shareholders value through the delivery of profitable business results.

The Directors present their Annual Report on the state of affairs of the Company, together with the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

incorporation and Legal Status of the CompanyThe Company was incorporated as a privately owned Company in 1969, and was converted to a Public Limited Liability Company quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 1978, as a result of the 1977 Nigerian Enterprises Promotions Decree. The Company is domiciled in Nigeria and its shares are listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

The marketing of products in Nigeria commenced in 1913 under the Texaco brand, when they were distributed exclusively by CFAO a French multinational retail company. In 1964, Texaco Africa Limited started direct marketing of Texaco products selling through service stations and kiosks acquired from the said multinational retail company, on lease terms. It also entered into the aviation business.

On August 12 1969 Texaco Nigeria Limited was incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Texaco Africa Limited, thus inheriting the business formerly carried out in Nigeria by Texaco Africa Limited. With the promulgation of the Nigeria Indigenization decree in 1978, 40% of Texaco Nigeria Limited was sold to Nigerian individuals and organizations by Texas Petroleum Company.

In 1990, the Companies and Allied Matters Decree came into force and this necessitated the removal of ‘Limited’ from the Company’s corporate name to the prescribed ‘Public Limited Liability Company’(PLC) with its shares quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Following the creation of ChevronTexaco in 2001 from the merger between Chevron Corporation and former Texaco Inc., Texaco Nigeria Plc became an integral part of the new corporation. As ChevronTexaco considered the acquisition of former UNOCAL, the board of ChevronTexaco decided to

eliminate ‘Texaco’ from the corporate name and retain only Chevron as the new name of the enlarged corporation.

Effective September 1 2006, the Company’s name changed from Texaco Nigeria Plc to Chevron Oil Nigeria Plc following a directive from Chevron Corporation’s headquarters to all affiliate companies.This was designed to present a clear, strong and unified presence of Chevron Corporation throughout the world.

On 20 March, 2009 there was an acquisition of Chevron Africa Holdings Limited, (a Bermudian Company) by Corlay Global SA of Moffson Building, East 54th Street, Panama, Republic of Panama. By virtue of this foreign transaction, M.R.S. Africa Holdings Limited gained control of all assets of Chevron Nigeria Holdings Limited, Bermuda and hence its 60% shareholding in Chevron Oil Nigeria Plc.

The new management of the Company announced a change of name of the Company from Chevron Oil Nigeria Plc to MRS Oil Nigeria Plc (“MRS”) effective 2nd of December, 2009 following the ratification of the name change of the Company at the 40th Annual General Meeting of the Company on September 29, 2009.

Currently about 253,988,672 shares are held by about 23,702 Nigerian shareholders and 1 foreign shareholder (MRS Africa Holdings Limited, Bermuda) in MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, a company with the main business of marketing and/or manufacture of petroleum related products in Nigeria. With about 138 active Company owned and more than 255 third party owned operating outlets, MRS Oil Nigeria Plc is a major player in Nigeria’s petroleum products marketing industry. MRS is also a leading producer of qualitylubricating oils and greases.

Principal Activities:The Company remains principally engaged in the business of marketing and distribution of refined petroleum products, blending of lubricants and manufacturing of greases.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Statement of Accounting Policies

A summary of the principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the current and preceding years, except as shown in note (f) is set out below.

(a) Basis of accounting

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets and the use of actuarial methods for estimating certain employee benefits.

(b) receivables

Debtors are stated net of allowances for debts considered doubtful of recovery. These allowances are recorded in the profit and loss account. Debts deemed bad are written off to the profit and loss account.

(c) Turnover

Turnover represents net value of goods and services provided by the Company to third parties in the normal course of business net of returns, trade discounts, rebates and value added tax. Turnover for regulated products equates amounts that accrue to the Company directly net of amounts the Company collects from the regulators on behalf of third parties i.e. as dealer commissions and transport costs.

Turnover from goods sold is recognised when persuasive evidence exists that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods and the amount of turnover can be measured reliably.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation.

Costs includes expenditure that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the property, plant and equipment. Costs relating to property, plant and equipment under construction or in the process of installation are disclosed as Capital Work in Progress. The cost attributable to each asset is transferred to the relevant category immediately the asset is available for use.

Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in the profit and loss account.

(e) depreciation

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost/valuation, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. During the year, the Company revised the depreciation rate as follows:

s

The impact of the change in depreciation rates was a decrease of N1.67 billion in depreciation charge for the year.

Depreciation is not calculated on property, plant and equipment until they are available for use and is included in the profit and loss account.

(f) intangible assets

An intangible asset is recognised if, and only if, it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

The cost of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortised to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life. Amortisation begins when the asset is available for use. Amortization ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized.

After initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The estimated

Asset category depreciation rate (%) revised depreciation rate (%)

useful lives for intangible assets which consist mainly of computer software is the earlier of 5 years or the license period of the related software.

Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets with finite useful life is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

This new policy is in line with the Statement of Accounting Standard (SAS) 31 issued by the Financial Reporting Council (formerly known as the Nigerian Accounting Standards Board), which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The policy has been applied prospectively. No reclassifications were made to the balance sheet on implementation of the new accounting policy as the

Company as at that date had fully depreciated all qualifying software. There was no effect on either the profit and loss account or retained earnings.

(g) revaluation reserve

Property, plant and equipment are revalued every three (3) years. Surpluses/ (deficits) arising on the

s

revaluation of individual Property, plant and equipment are (credited)/debited to a non-distributable reserve known as the Property, plant and equipment. Revaluation deficits in excess of the amount of prior revaluation surpluses on the same asset are charged to the profit and loss account.

On disposal of previously revalued Property, plant and equipment, an amount equal to the revaluation surplus attributable to that asset is transferred from the revaluation reserve to the retained earnings.

(h) Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is based on:

White petroleum products -: Weighted average cost, to the extent that the weighted average cost reflects historical cost, including transportation and clearing costs (for deregulated products). For regulated products, the cost is reduced by the subsidies due. See Note (p).

Product and packaging materials, Work-in-progress, lubricants and greases- A first-in, first-out basis, including transportation and clearing costs.

Stock-in-transit-: Purchase cost incurred to date.

The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity).

Net realisable value is based on estimated normal selling price less further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal. Allowance is made for defective and slow moving items as appropriate.

(i) Taxation

Tax expenses/credits are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Income tax is the expected amount of income tax payable on taxable profit determined in accordance

with Companies Income Tax Act (CITA) using statutory tax rates at the balance sheet date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Education tax is assessed at 2% of the assessable profits while capital gains tax is assessed at 10% of the capital gains.

(j) deferred taxation

Deferred taxation, which arises from differences in the timing of the recognition of items in the financial statements and by the tax authorities, is calculated using the liability method. Deferred tax is provided on all timing differences at the rates of tax likely to be in force at the time of reversal. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets will be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax is charged to the profit and loss account except to the extent that it relates to a transaction that is recognised directly in equity.

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash balances with banks and short term deposits with banks with original maturity of three months or less.

(l) foreign currency transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in Naira at exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date or where appropriate at the contracted rate of exchange if the balance is to be settled at a contracted rate. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates, subsequent to the dates of transactions, is included as an exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss account.

(m) employee benefits

i. Gratuity Scheme: The Company operates an unfunded defined

benefit gratuity scheme for its permanent staff. The benefits under the scheme are related to employees’ length of service and remuneration. Lump-sum benefits payable upon retirement or resignation of employment are fully accrued over the service lives of employees of the Company. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of the unfunded gratuity scheme is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are charged in full to the profit and loss account.

ii. Other long term employee benefits: Other long term employee benefits are accrued over

the service life of the employees. The charge to profit and loss account is based on independent actuarial valuation performed using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains or losses are recognised in full in the profit and loss account.

iii. Pension Fund Scheme: The Company, in line with the provisions of the

Pension Reform Act 2004, operates a defined contribution pension scheme under which the Company and its employees each contribute 12% and 3% respectively of the employees’ monthly basic salary, housing and transport allowances to the fund. The staff contributions to the scheme are funded through payroll deductions while the Company’s contributions are accrued and charged fully to the profit and loss account.

(n) Provisions

A provision is recognized only if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

(o) impairment

The carrying value of the assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in the profit and loss account except where they relate to previously revalued assets, in which case, they are recognised directly against any revaluation surplus to the extent that an amount is included in the revaluation reserve account for the related assets, with any remaining loss recognised in the profit and loss account.

(p) Government grants

Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) subsidies which compensate the Company for losses made on importation of certain refined petroleum products are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that they will be recovered and the Company has complied with the conditions attached to receiving the subsidy. The subsidies are recognised as a reduction to the landing cost of the subsidised petroleum product.

(q) dividends

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared. Unclaimed dividends which remain unclaimed for a period exceeding twelve (12) years from the date of declaration and which are no longer actionable by shareholders in accordance with section 385 of the Companies and Allied Matters Acts of Nigeria are written back to retained earnings.

(r) Leases

(i) Where the Company is the lessee Leases in terms of which the Company assumes

substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. At the beginning of the lease term, the leased asset is measured at an

s

amount equal to the fair value of the leased asset less the present value of unguaranteed or partially guaranteed residual value which would accrue to the lessor at the end of the term of the lease. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.

Other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised on the Company’s balance sheet. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

(ii) Where the Company is the lessor When assets are held subject to a finance lease,

the transactions are recognized in the books of the Company at the net investments in the lease. Net investment in the lease is the gross investment in the lease discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. The gross investment is the sum of the minimum lease payments plus any residual value payable on the lease. The discount on lease is defined as the difference between the gross investment and the present value of the asset under the lease. The discount is recognized as unearned in the books of the Company and amortized to income as they are earned over the life of the lease at a basis that reflects a constant rate of return on the Company’s net investment in the lease.

When assets are held subject to an operating lease, the assets are recognized as property, plant and equipment based on the nature of the asset and the Company’s normal depreciation policy for that class

of asset applies. Lease income is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term.

All indirect costs associated with the operating lease are charged as incurred to the profit and loss account.

(s) Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing related

products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments.

The Company’s primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments. The business segments are determined by management based on the Company’s internal reporting structure. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

(t) Jointly controlled assets

Jointly controlled assets refers to the Company’s interests in joint aviation facilities held jointly with other parties. These financial statements include the Company’s share of these jointly controlled assets and a proportionate share of the relevant revenue and related operating costs.
