Westmount Energy Limited

Interim Results to 31 December 2011

CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW

The past six months have been one of change for your Company.

Having repaid a total of 160p to shareholders since flotation in 1995 it was your board's agreed strategy to seek a new direction and future for its shareholders.

On the 30th November 2011 we announced that we had issued 2.2 million new shares at 20p to Gerard Walsh and Thomas O'Gorman who were both appointed directors of Westmount on the same date as the Issue. The new directors have considerable experience in the financing of the oil exploration industry and will seek new Investment opportunities for your Company while reviewing our existing investment portfolio.I have also to report that Paul Anderson, who has been involved in Westmount's business since 1996, has resigned as a director and will cease providing company secretarial support in order to pursue his professional career and we would like to record our thanks for all his efforts over the past years and wish him well for the future. David King of Dominion Corporate Services Limited ("DCG") has been appointed as director and DCG as company secretary, to replace Paul and Bedell's, and we welcome him to the board.

The expenses for the half year include a larger than usual non cash item which relates to the formal requirement of IFRS to account for the options granted coincident with recent board appointments. The actual cash expenses for the six month period were £143,000 as compared with £154,000 for the same period in 2010.

We look forward a new and interesting phase of your Company's future.

Mervyn Bradlow

Chairman
