Further information on the Company can be found at www.gasolplc.com

Alan Buxton, Chief Operating Officer of Gasol, commented:

"Gasol has made progress during the last six months. The Company is seeking to supply gas to markets which are gas constrained, in order to displace more expensive liquid fuels such as diesel and light crude that are currently used in power generation and for industry. In the short term, Gasol will provide this gas through LNG Import Projects.

Chairman's Statement - Strategy Further Developed

It is now five months since my appointment. Gasol is further developing its strategy. The Company has progressed a number of key initiatives, which include entering into Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") and Joint Venture ("JV") agreements with BenGaz and the utility of Benin and Togo (see below).

The Gas Market

The fundamental factors underpinning African gas markets remain positive. The security of national energy supplies continues to be of increasing importance to many African countries with governments moving to balance their energy portfolios to avoid overdependence on a single source of energy. The demand for new, highly efficient gas-fired generating capacity remains a key objective for nearly every government in the region. The replacement of older, oil fired power generation with gas fired capacity in order to reduce exposure to high priced liquid fuels while reducing CO2 emissions is gaining speed. These factors continue to create a strong demand for gas in the region. Gasol remains well placed to become a player in these markets.

Gasol Strategy

Gasol intends to monetize African gas by providing gas to power projects and infrastructure. The strategy includes initially supplying Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG") and then pipeline gas from African gas fields. The company aims to assist the development of gas infrastructure as well as to encourage the growth of gas-fired power generation in West Africa.

The Board has identified a number of opportunities to invest both in floating LNG import projects and in the related power generation sector, while securing agreements for the supply of LNG. One challenge for the Company remains to ensure that the often underfunded national utility companies can secure adequate credit support for their payment obligations. This is a prerequisite to attract financing for the projects. In order to overcome that obstacle, Gasol is working on building relationships with development finance institutions and multilaterals.

Gasol's new management team have progressed its West African LNG import project in Benin and Togo, which is mentioned above and about which announcements have already been made (see Chief Operating Officer's report). In addition, there are several other LNG Import Projects and power project initiatives under consideration.

In August 2012, Gasol announced it had entered into an option to acquire African Power Generation Limited ("AfGen"). The Company is working closely with AfGen to take advantage of their development work over the past two years in the LNG to power sector. Gasol also continues to cooperate closely with Afren plc on the development of its gas assets, with the intention that Gasol will be able to secure supply gas from these assets in due course, and to secure new sources of gas.

Funding

Securing funding in a tight credit market for capital intensive projects with long revenue lead times is challenging.

In August 2012, Gasol entered into a GBP2.5 million convertible loan facility, with African Gas Development Corporation Limited, Gasol's largest shareholder, to repay existing facilities and to provide some GBP950,000 of further working capital for the Company to develop its projects. African Gas Development Corporation has shown substantial faith in the Company's business plan by refinancing its outstanding credit facilities with the Company and extending additional credit to fund the Company's on-going development activities.

In the period under review, the reorganisation of the Company's capital structure was also successfully completed in September 2012. Gasol is now better positioned to move ahead with its strategy.

Social & Environmental Policy

Gasol's business strategy has drawn considerable support from development finance institutions because of the environmental considerations. The Board is looking to supply gas to displace liquid fuels such as jet fuel, diesel and light crude, which are currently being used for power generation and industrial purposes. Gas is comparatively environmentally friendly as it has the smallest CO2 emissions of all fossil fuels. Gasol has commissioned advisers to assist it to develop its carbon strategy.

Financials

The financial results for the period reflect an increase in development costs due to increased project activity, the recruitment of a new management team and costs related to a potential transaction. The loss after tax for the six month period was GBP1,736,132 compared to a loss of GBP1,041,086 in 2011, equating to a loss per share of 5.6p compared with a loss of 4.7p per share (0.09p on a pre-consolidated basis) for the period ended 30 September 2011. Cash balance at 30 September 2012 was GBP246,437 (30 September 2011: GBP166,725).

Outlook & Priorities

Gasol continues to focus on its West Africa gas to power in that region. We believe this strategy is strongly aligned with the needs of West African countries, and the Gasol team are moving forward towards that aim.

At a time when European markets remain depressed, Gasol offers shareholders a low threshold investment opportunity into the growing gas and electricity markets of Africa. On a macro level, independent forecasters estimate a compound annual growth in the Sub Saharan electricity sector over the next twenty-five years to be 2.8% per annum. Gasol is working to capitalise on these growth opportunities.

The board looks forward to inform investors of further progress in implementing Gasol's strategy during the course of 2013.

Chairman

Chief Operating Officer's Report

The period since the Company's full year results has been active. Gasol advanced several gas-to-power project initiatives, and its West African LNG Import Project has made good progress.

Gasol is seeking to supply gas to markets which are gas constrained, so that the gas will displace liquid fuels such as diesel and light crude for use in power generation and for industry. Many of the power plants in Benin, Togo and Ghana are currently idle due to the lack of gas. In the short term, Gasol will provide this gas through LNG Import Projects.

Gasol has progressed its Cotonou based LNG Import Project during the last 6 months, as evidenced by the JV Agreement and Asset Management Agreement signed on 6(th) December 2012 with Bengaz, providing for the establishment of a JV company in Cotonou, Benin (to be named "Cogaz") for the distribution and sale of natural gas in Benin and elsewhere in West Africa. All natural gas to be supplied to the JV company will be supplied by an affiliate of Gasol.

Benin is intended to be the Company's entry point to West Africa, with the proposed gas storage and regasification vessel to be located in Cotonou harbour, Benin. The LNG will be stored and regasified aboard the vessel and then transported via undersea pipeline to the West African Gas Pipeline. Progress has been expedited with the help of our local partner and a MoU was signed in October to supply gas from the JV company to Communaute Electrique du Benin, the electricity authority for both Benin and Togo. The JV arrangements also provide for Gasol to provide management assistance to Bengaz with respect to Bengaz's shareholding in the West African Gas Pipeline, a 690km offshore pipeline with an investment cost of approx US$1 billion established to transport natural gas from Nigeria to consumers in Benin, Togo and Ghana. We are currently waiting for another potential off-taker for the project to ratify a MoU signed earlier this year so that formal negotiations for a gas supply agreement can begin.

Also in December, Gasol announced the signing of a strategic alliance agreement on a non-exclusive basis with STSA in relation to its proposed LNG Import Project in Benin. STSA is the international marketing and development arm of SOCAR, the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan. Under the terms of the strategic alliance, STSA will supply all LNG required for the Project and assist Gasol with the provision of a floating gas storage and regasification vessel in the harbour at Cotonou.

Furthermore Gasol has progressed other LNG Import Projects through an Option Agreement signed on 24 August 2012. The Option Agreement provides an option for Gasol to acquire Africa Power Generation Limited ("Afgen"), which has an existing pipeline of LNG Import Projects. The Option expires 12 months after the signature of the Option Agreement. Entry into the Option Agreement is at no cost to Gasol. The cost of exercising the Option will be 75% of fair value, as determined by third party experts at the time of exercise, and is to be settled through the issuance of Gasol shares.

Gasol is currently working on two other LNG Import Projects, the conversion of a liquid fuelled power plant to gas firing and acquisition of additional gas reserves for Gasol's future needs. The team is also busy responding to questions asked by the WAGP governing body following Gasol's application to become the first company authorized to ship gas through the WAGP under its new open access policy.

The Board would like to remind shareholders of Gasol's connections through its founder, Bert Cooper, as well as Afren and its partner in Benin, Bengaz. As a result of these relationships, the Company is extremely well positioned in West Africa to deliver its gas to power strategy.

In the period since my appointment in February this year, it is evident Gasol has not only a very strong and focused Board, with demonstrable track records in industry, finance and West Africa, but a highly competent team to back that up. I would like to extend my thanks to all staff and shareholders for their continued commitment and support.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

for the six months ended 30 September 2012

   1.         Basis of preparation 

These unaudited interim financial statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2012. They have been prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union and implemented in the UK. This report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC') Interpretations and the Companies Act 2006, as applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

The financial information in this interim announcement has not been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. It does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The unaudited interim financial statements were approved by the Board on 27 December 2012.

The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 March 2012 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The statutory accounts of Gasol plc for the year ended 31 March 2012 have been reported on by the Company's auditor, BDO LLP and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditor was unqualified but contained an emphasis of matter statement with regard to going concern. The auditor's report did not contain statements under Section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2011 and 2012 is unaudited nor reviewed by the auditors in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom.

Going concern

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, reflecting the Directors' belief that there are sufficient financial resources in place or will be available to Gasol in order for the Group to be able to meet its present obligations as they fall due. Gasol is currently involved in discussions with external investors and advisors to secure future financing arrangements. The Board is also confident that it retains the continuing support from its major shareholders to provide additional funding should other sources not be forthcoming. The directors believe that based on the negotiations to date, the outcome will be positive. The directors appreciate that this lack of formally negotiated funding may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, with the expectation of Gasol formally agreeing new funding from its major shareholders and other financial investors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue trading for the foreseeable future and have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the interim financial statements on a going concern basis.

   2.         Accounting policies - Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Gasol Plc (Gasol) and all its subsidiaries and joint ventures. The most recent set of audited financial statements for Gasol were made up to 31 March 2012.

This interim financial information for Gasol incorporates the consolidated financial statements of Gasol, African LNG Holdings Limited ("AFLNG"), African LNG Services Limited, Afgas Infrastructure Limited, Afgas Nigeria Limited and SONAF G.E S.A. for the six months ended 30 September 2012.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.

   3.         Loss per ordinary share 
 
               The calculation of a basic loss per share of 5.6 
               pence (6 months ended 30 September 2011 loss per 
             share of 4.7 pence; year ended 31 March 2012: loss 
                 per share of 8 pence) is based on the loss for 
             the period attributable to equity holders of Gasol 
               plc of GBP1,736,132 (6 months ended 30 September 
   2011: GBP1,041,086; year ended 31 March 2012: GBP1,991,582). 
                 The weighted average number of shares in issue 
           used in the loss per share calculation of 30,699,861 
                 (6 months ended 30 September 2011: 22,097,785; 
               year ended 31 March 2012: 24,976,474) represents 
                 the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
             in Gasol Plc that were in issue during the period. 
             During the period a share consolidation took place 
                 (see note 4). For comparative purposes between 
         the periods, the earnings per share have been restated 
               retrospectively per IAS 31 using total shares as 
               if they were consolidated from the 1 April 2011. 
          Due to the loss incurred during the period, a diluted 
            loss per share has not been disclosed as this would 
                      serve to reduce the basic loss per share. 
 

4. Share capital and share premium
