3 // LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS I am pleased to present the Interim Management Report for the second Quarter of 2018 and the first Half-Year 2018 for De Raj Group AG. In this quarter, we have focussed on project delivery and made some strategic rationalisation of the German business, where under-performing assets were divested and in place our German entity would time charter strategic equipment to the German market and abroad. In addition we have pursued new orders with the pickup in the Oil & Gas market. The continued rise in oil prices to the USD 70 barrel mark and it remaining steady at and above this level has brought on prospects of new projects in this region and also in the Middle East. As I last reported in Q1, we had won a major Floating Production Unit (FPU) contract in Indonesia valued at USD 386 million providing 10-year revenues from international client, Husky-CNOOC. With our well placed strategic partner in Indonesia and our excellent track record with the ongoing contract (BOSS 1 MOPU) for National Oil Company, Pertamina, we are pursuing new orders for MOPU projects in the country for the rest of 2018 and first half of The geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we believe, continues to provide unique opportunities for a niche player like us without any U.S. interests. In addition to Iran, which remains on the WATCH category, we are also pursuing opportunities in neighbouring Qatar, which has an active and growing energy sector, especially in Oil & Gas. I am pleased to report that the implementation of the newly secured FPU contract has gone into full gear. The manning up of the Project Management Team of about 30 key personnel was completed and award made for major contracts for the hull and topsides of the FPU. The FPU is on track for completion by end of In addition, there has been continued focus on operational delivery on the current MOPU BOSS 1 contract, where the Uptime KPI was maintained above 99%. Further, the underwater inspection of the MOPU facility showed very positive results with no damage and/or cracks to the structure, which further enhances our excellent prospects of renewing the contract for a further few years upon its expiry in September We are continuing to pursue aggressively green initiative projects in flare gas recovery and utilisation at the Middle Eastern region, which provide excellent returns and we are well placed to secure. Further, we see such projects as a real and positive contribution to the countries that are flaring huge amounts of gas, in line with our corporate values of adding value to clients and community development. We are continuing to pursue various funding options for our projects, including raising capital via an IPO at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the near future. We wish to thank our shareholders for the continued support of De Raj Group AG. Dato Nagendran C. Nadarajah (Chairman of the Management Board) 3

De Raj Group AG s historic core business is oil & gas services for small or less developed and marginal fields. Innovation, speed and various patents differentiate the highly experienced Group.

10 // INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Q2/6M/ 2018 Interim Results of Operations Q2/6M 2018 The order book for the Group in the second quarter resulted in a total order book value (order backlog) of USD 408 million for the two current contracts in the Oil & Gas Division that is the new FPU contract and the ongoing BOSS 1 MOPU contract. In this second quarter, there has been a strategic move to enhance the German presence and profitability of the German business for DRG Group by considering divestment of the thirteen Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants in the country since their returns are below company expectations. In place of these CHP plants business, the Group is pursuing the business model of long-term leasing of power plant equipment with clean energy source via our German entities for better returns. payments of the charter by the client has been also proper without any delay. On the Business Development front, there has been great focus on the green flare gas removal and utilisation initiative, especially in Middle Eastern countries, where there are huge amounts of gas being flared. This is an initiative that is welcomed by all the countries where we are pursuing such projects such as Qatar and Iran since it cleans the environment and is good for the country and the world as a whole. De Raj Group s total personnel of 77 employees as of 30 June 2018 were split into 33 employees based in Indonesia for the BOSS 1 project and 44 employees based in Malaysia, 26 of which are engineers (24 are linked to the new FPU project and 2 are working on the BOSS 1 project), 10 represent Management functions (2 of which are engineers) and 8 are finance/administration and other functions. This Q2 period has also seen our Intellectual Property, in the Oil & Gas sector validated. We have successfully defended our patent rights for the provision of removably attached offshore wellhead platforms with an infringement legal suit against Petrofac E&C (part of Petrofac Limited Group, United Kingdom) at the courts in Malaysia. The High Court in July 2018 issued a court order that Petrofac was guilty of copying and infringing our patent for the supply of a MOPU with a removably attached Well Head Support Structure for the Sepat field early development of Petronas in 2010 at a contract value of USD 280 million. Our statement of claim has USD 40 million as damages for the infringement, which will be the subject of further deliberation at the courts in the coming months. This court ruling validates our IP values and proof of concept. The operational performance of the current contract of four years, the BOSS 1 MOPU for client Pertamina of Indonesia, has continued to perform well without any breakdowns and loss of revenue in Q2. The MOPU has maintained the operational KPI of Uptime at above 99% and the recent underwater inspection of the MOPU showed that the facility is in very good shape with no damage or cracks to the main structure of the MOPU, which are the legs and mat sitting on the sea bed. The opportunity to extend the MOPU at location with the client at the end of the current contract in September 2019 is indeed very promising. The monthly Significant events occurring after the end of the period under review For the period from 1st July 2018 to the time of this reporting (September 2018), which is a little more than two months, there has been no change to the current order book. In this period, the strategic move to align the German business with the DRG Group Business Model of leasing strategic equipment on long-term basis was put in place. The 13 CHP power plants in Germany under Gaea Power GmbH has been successfully divested at a sale value of EUR 3.6 million (net) as announced on 27th August In place of this, Gaea Power GmbH will long-term lease on time charter basis power equipment of 7 MW and 17 MW to a German entity. This is expected to provide better returns and shall be reported on later once the agreements are executed. This period has continued to be a very busy period for the Oil & Gas Division with full steam implementation of the FPU contract. The Project Management Team has been mostly manned up with about 30 key people and major procurement activities for the vessel hull and the topsides facilities has also been mostly completed. Major contracts for hull engineering and construction, topsides engineering and construction and free issue 10

11 of key long-lead equipment such as gensets, fire water pumps, custody metre, telecoms, mooring equipment has been awarded. The completion of the FPU project as at end of August 2018 is about 9 % with completion of the facility scheduled for late Also, the results for the reported MOPU project in India for which we were a front runner in the tender were announced. We did not win the tender as the winning bidder was cheaper. There has been also a lot of effort in fund raising for the implementation of the FPU contract and also potential contracts for flare gas recovery and power plants. The strategy to raise capital via IPO at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange has been explored aggressively with our consultant partners in Germany and this option is being considered for Q In this interim period, there has been some organisational developments with the appointment of a new CEO, who brings a wide experience of more than 35 years, including senior postings with the National Oil Company of Malaysia, Petronas. In addition, a new CFO, Mr. Kannan Mohan was appointed to lead the Finance Division. The Group has been streamlined into business divisions with clear responsibility and accountability. The current verticals are Oil & Gas Division and Power Generation & Green Initiatives Division, with the supporting Finance, Legal and Corporate Divisions. will be lifted in the near future, we will have first-mover advantage and can see our efforts there bearing good results with power and flare gas projects. The U.S. sanctions on energy to come in force on 4th November 2018 will provide further insights to our strategy as the year comes to an end. The Oil & Gas Division for the rest of the year will continue with the current FPU project implementation. In addition, the ongoing BOSS 1 MOPU contract operations will continue with focus on maintaining the outstanding Uptime KPI of 99% and above. The business development effort for this division will focus on new MOPU jobs in Indonesia, where we are strongly placed with our excellent track record, coupled with our local business partners who are very well placed in the country. On the Power Generation & Green Initiatives Division, we see our German power business after the rationalisation exercise in this period, further consolidate the offer of providing strategic power equipment on longterm lease to the German market and abroad, especially Middle East. Here, we see Qatar as a market with unique opportunities as well since the geopolitical situation in the region places Qatar and Iran in a somewhat similar situation with their neighbours. Qatar, however, is in a much better situation than Iran with the U.S., with no sanctions of any kind. In addition, Qatar and Iran have positive relations which can be opportune for us in the pursuit of projects from both countries for the rest of Business outlook to the current quarter Q3/2018 and expectations for the full year 2018 We see that with the better oil prices in the year, which has been holding steady in Q2, major oil and gas producing countries that we are focussed on like Indonesia, India, Iran and lately Qatar are moving ahead their projects as quickly as possible to realise bigger revenues. This bodes well for our business with is energy centred. This Q2 quarter, saw the U.S. sanctions taking effect on Iran in May One of the key business development strategy has been to closely monitor the geopolitical development of Iran. We view Iran has providing good strategic opportunities in power and green projects with limited players at the moment. The EU is putting in place statutes to protect European companies already doing business in Iran. In addition, if the renewed U.S. sanctions We see the green initiative flare gas projects as totally in line with our corporate values and in the case of Iran and Qatar, they provide a unique opportunity given the current geopolitics. These projects have the potential to be big revenue earners and we will continue to focus on pursuing such projects and securing funding for them. With better oil prices, the push by countries for Oil & Gas projects and power projects will get stronger for the remaining part of 2018 and remain strong going into As for the LED lights green project in Malaysia reported in Q1, with the recent change in Government in Malaysia, the award process is being re-visited and we are keeping the project under WATCH. 11
