Year End Trading Update & Notice of Results Cape plc, the international provider of essential, non-mechanical support services to the energy and mineral resources sectors, is pleased to provide the following scheduled trading update following the financial year end on 31 December 2011. Since the Group's Interim Management Statement on 9 November 2011 ("IMS"), Cape has performed well and Group revenue and underlying profit before tax* for the year are anticipated to be in line with the Board's expectations. As expected, the strong revenue growth in Q3 continued in Q4 driven by higher levels of activity in three of Cape's four regions. In the Far East/Pacific Rim region, Cape saw increased activity from both onshore project work, in particular Woodside's Pluto LNG project in Australia and the Exxon SPT Olefins project in Singapore, as well as offshore work in Australia with mobilisation at both Kipper Tuna Turrum (off Victoria) and North Rankin (North West Shelf). The UK business experienced higher levels of activity across the power belt with several increased outage scopes and finally, in North Africa we began mobilisation of significant manpower on the Sonatrach GL3-Z LNG project in Algeria. In the Gulf/Middle East region, activity levels were in line with our expectations following delayed release of works.

Commenting on the news Tom Burnet, Chief Executive Officer of Lo-Q plc said: "We are delighted that Merlin Entertainments Group has agreed to install yet another Q-bot system in one of its most exciting parks. For us, this decision marks another important vote of confidence in the value and capability of our technology. Adding LEGOLAND® Deutschland to our park portfolio further strengthens our presence in the European theme park arena and we look forward to building on this renewed strength in the coming months." Hans Aksel Pedersen, General Manager, LEGOLAND® Deutschland, added: "Delivering a memorable guest experience is a huge focus for all of us at LEGOLAND® Deutschland and the Lo-Q Q-bot system will help us to deliver on this priority."

Contract builds on success of Lo-Q systems at two other Merlin Entertainment Group sites: LEGOLAND® Windsor in the UK and Heide Park in Germany - Lo-Q plc (AIM: LOQ), the AIM-listed provider of virtual queuing systems for theme parks and major attractions, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement to install its patented Q-bot system at LEGOLAND® Deutschland: a part of Merlin Entertainments Group, the world's second largest visitor attraction operator. The three year contract will see the system installed in time for the park's opening on the 30 March 2012. One of Germany's most popular family theme parks, LEGOLAND Deutschland is built from more than 55 million LEGO bricks and is uniquely targetted at families with young children. Like all Merlin's attractions the Park operates a strategy of continuous investment, and is constantly looking to improve its offer to its guests and ensure they get the very best from their visit. Once operational, the Q-bot system will - for an additional fee - enable visitors to explore the attraction more easily than ever before. The Q-bot is a hand-held device which allows visitors to reserve their time on a ride without having to physically stand in the queue, something which has great appeal to LEGOLAND's very young visitors. This innovative product enables park operators to maximise the revenue they can generate at their parks, freeing up visitors to enjoy other attractions, eat at one of the many restaurants and use other services rather than standing in line. This agreement builds on Lo-Q's very strong relationship with Merlin Entertainments Group and owes much to the significant success of Lo-Q's existing system at two other Merlin parks: LEGOLAND® Windsor in the UK and Heide Park in Germany.

Next Steps The Company is planning a new drilling campaign for this summer to target more resources that will enhance the project and is planning to deliver a more robust Pre-Feasibility Study, which expects to start in Q2 calendar 2012. The objective is for the exploration programme to run in tandem with geotechnical and metallurgical drilling planned for supporting the project development and meet the contractual obligations with Anglo-American, for OMI to drill 2,000 extra metres in Pantanillo. Field work commenced in December 2011 to target the discovery of further satellite deposits within the Pantanillo license and around the Pantanillo Norte ore body, Pantanillo Central, Quebrada Pantanillo and Oro 52 were highlighted as main target areas for surface sampling / mapping, potentially followed by first pass RC drill campaign. Areas were highlighted for low detection limit analysis in the surface sampling programme with up to 2,000 samples to be collected over 100 x 100 metres grid. Based on the results of surface sampling, OMI will commence a 2,000-3,000 metre RC drilling programme over a four to six week period and due to be completed by the end of February 2012. The Aster imaging in Figure 2 shows intense hypogene alunite alteration, typically observed throughout the whole of the Maricunga belt, across Pantanillo Central, Quebrada Pantanillo and Oro 52 targets. This alteration style is typically associated with advanced argillic alteration caps potentially overlying gold bearing porphyry-type stockworks.

David Fowler, Chief Executive Officer commented: “We are pleased to announce a preliminary economic assessment for the Pantanillo project in Chile which has been independently prepared by AMEC. This PEA is based on the existing resource at Pantanillo Norte and demonstrates Pantanillo development potential. We believe that further exploration has the potential to significantly enhance the project and a number of initiatives will be pursued through development in an effort to reduce capital expenditure further.”

CONT The Environmental division, which specialises in dealing with oil, chemical and marine pollution incidents, has been engaged in the salvage, processing and cleaning of the containers from the vessel "Rena" which ran aground off New Zealand in October 2011. The salvage work will continue well into 2012. The Braemar team is made up of personnel from the Environmental and Technical divisions who fulfilled a similar role in respect of the "MSC Napoli" off the coast of Devon in 2007. All of the Group's divisions have been busy over the past three months with the overall performance of the group showing an improvement compared with the earlier quarters of this financial year.

Interim Management Statement Braemar Shipping Services plc today issues its interim management statement in relation to the period since the announcement of the interim results on 25 October 2011. Over the past few months activity in the Shipbroking division has increased. The Group has seen good levels of spot chartering business particularly in deep sea tankers and in capesize bulk carriers. The specialised tanker chartering desks are also performing well, having secured long term contract business and good prospects of increasing their transaction volumes in the new financial year, beginning 1 March. Our second hand sale and purchase and demolition business has been more active than in the summer, stimulated by the fall in the value of middle-aged ships in most sectors. Overall Braemar's markets are entering a new phase where principals are adjusting their operations to fit market conditions, and this greater certainty should be positive. The Company is making good progress in bringing its technical businesses together as a single unit, trading as Braemar Technical Services. There are already clear signs of much closer interaction within the division and when full integration is achieved, the engineering and surveying teams will be deployed more efficiently. Braemar's marketing capability in the Far East, Europe and North America will thereby be enhanced. In recent months, the Company has won several important new engineering projects and the level of surveying appointments has also been encouraging. The Logistics division has been performing well. Ship agency is making substantial inroads in the highly-competitive UK market and continues to grow in Singapore. The freight and project forwarding arm is continuing to expand its customer base and is delivering improved results. The cruise ship agency and tours business had a reasonable summer in 2011 and bookings for 2012 have been strong on the back of the London Olympics.

Back from work to see this dropped to 30.10? early on this morning - I wish I had been off today to snap some up at that price !

Mr. Xiaohong Yang, Executive Chairman said: "We are pleased with the performance of the Company which generated an increase in revenues across all divisions and strong profitable growth. We continue to focus on the long term growth of the business and have made good progress in growing our higher margin specialty chemicals business through the establishment of Dongying Hebang. The Board remains conscious of a continuing difficult global economic environment and great emphasis has been placed on tightening costs and increasing operational efficiencies to strengthen the business. We look forward to updating our shareholders with progress and developments at our final results in March.

Trading Update HaiKe Chemical Group Limited ("HaiKe" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted (AIM: HAIK) petrochemical, specialty chemical and biochemical business based in China, today provides an update on trading ahead of its final results for the year ended 31 December 2011, which are expected to be announced in March. Highlights: · Encouraging performance resulting in an increase in revenues and strong year-on-year profit growth · Profitability behind market expectations due principally to lower margins at the end of the year · Growth in revenues compared to the previous year, driven by sales volume increases for most products. · Refinery division profitable in 2011 due to increases in both volume and price · Volume increases in specialty/salt and biochemical divisions outweigh a slight drop in price · In line with growing our higher margin specialty chemical products, construction of the newly established Dongying Hebang Chemical Co., Ltd ('Hebang') completed Ruilin's utilisation rate and turnover rate improved significantly during the year. As a result, the refinery division was profitable in 2011, compared to a loss in 2010. The specialty/salt chemical division was overall stable while performance of individual products varied. The biochemical division became profitable in 2011 driven by volume increases as a result of economies of scale. In line with our focus on growing our higher margin specialty chemicals division, the construction of the newly established Dongying Hebang Chemical Co., Ltd ('Hebang') has been completed and tests and trial production have begun. Hebang is expected to commence mass production for its first product in March 2012 and we expect it to break even in the current financial year.
