Trading Statement

Velosi Limited 07 December 2006 Velosi Limited Trading Update Velosi Limited ('Velosi' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce a positive update on trading for the year ending 31 December 2006. Following the announcement of Velosi's interim results on 28 September 2006, the Company has continued to experience increasing demand for its services from major oil and gas multinationals. In particular, demand has been strong in Nigeria, the US and Qatar. As a result of the increasing demand for Velosi's services, the Board anticipates that revenue for the year ending 31 December 2006 will be ahead of expectations. The Company's Project Verification division is experiencing high growth driven by contracts with Mobil Producing Nigeria, Ras Gas and Qatar Petroleum. Velosi's Quality Enhancement Division is also experiencing a high level of demand because of services to JGC and Chevron. Both divisions were positively affected by work coming through from contracts won, and renewed, earlier in the year. Since Velosi's admission to AIM, in August 2006, the Company has continued its strategy of entering new geographic markets and has increased its investment in infrastructure to provide a strong base for continued growth. As a result of this increased investment, and the group's prudent accounting practices, the Board expects profit before tax for the year ending 31 December 2006 to be marginally ahead of expectations. However, the Board expects profit after tax and minority interests to be ahead of expectations, due to the increased contribution from the Middle East in recent months, where Velosi enjoys a significantly lower tax charge. Due to the improved trading performance, and visibility provided by existing contracts and recent contract wins, the Board has confidence in the Company's trading performance in 2007 and beyond.
