Preliminary Results for the year to 31 December 2005 

Caspian Holdings Plc (AIM:CSH) the London-based AIM-quoted Company whose primary
activity is the exploration, development and operation of oil fields in the
countries around the Caspian Sea, and in particular Kazakhstan, announces its
preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2005.

Highlights 

 
* Workover programme delivered production from 8 out of 9 of all wells drilled 
  in 2004/2005 
* Loss per share of 1.4pence (2004: 2.33 pence), a 60% improvement 
* Total oil production from four main producing wells: 82 BBL/day 
* 34,516 BBL shipped and sold for an average price of $18 /BBL 
* Total revenue of $621,026 or #318,578  


Post year end highlights 

 
* 9 wells producing a total of approximately 300 barrels per day 
* Exports have commenced increasing the net price received for oil sales from 
  $17.50 per barrel to approximately $65.00 per barrel (Urals blend) 
* 7,207,000 Ordinary 0.1p shares were issued raising funds of #1,441,400 
  (February 2006)  
* 7,000,000 Ordinary 0.1p shares were issued raising funds of #1,890,000 (March 
  2006) 
* 100% success rate on new wells drilled and tested in 2006 (101, 103 and 105)

Commenting on the results, Michael Masterman, Executive Chairman, said: "2005
has been challenging a year for Caspian Holdings Plc from which we have emerged
in a strong position and poised for further growth in 2006. Our low operating
and capital costs will allow us to drill 10 new production wells for
approximately $3m - about a quarter of the cost spent by our deeper drilling
exploration competitors on one well alone and by shifting our focus to export
rather than domestic sales we have achieved an almost four-fold increase in
revenue per barrel. We are actively pursuing the opportunity to extend our
licence area and look forward with confidence to the coming years."

                         CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 

Dear Fellow Shareholder

2005 has been a challenging year for Caspian Holdings Plc from which we have
emerged in a strong and growing position in 2006.

The year started with oil discoveries and oil production in our first four wells
- 111, 112, 113 and 114 and the confirmation of high quality export oil in our
flagship Zhengeldy oilfield. Initial success was then tempered by setbacks with
a series of apparently dry wells or poorly performing wells - 115, 116, 106 and
107 and overall lower production rates per well than previously estimated

Mid year the Company management took stock of the situation and with the
assistance of Slumberger Central Asia completed a comprehensive evaluation of
the scope to increase production from the Zhengeldy field. The plan involved 6
key steps

 
* Refocus on the shallow 100m to 400m oil production levels where we 
  consistently find and produce oil have very low drilling costs and 
  drilling times 
* Upgrade the approach to operations management with improvements in cementation, 
  logging and the introduction of sweet water wells and water disposal wells 
* Targeted workover of the dry or poorly performing wells 
* Identification of new well locations for 2006 drilling programme 
* Increase the price received by switching from domestic to export oil sales 
* Pursue increase in the Zhengeldy licence area from 1.5 km2 to over 30km2

Implementation of this plan began in November 2005 and while much remains to be 
done, the results achieved to date are significant

 
* Workover programme has delivered production from 8 out of 9 of all the wells 
  drilled in late 2005 and 2005 
* 100% successful drilling and oil test rate on new wells drilled and tested in 
  2006 (101, 103 and 105) 
* Drilling times have been reduced from an average of 30 days to 20 days per new 
  well 
* Discovery of multiple oil production zones in nearly every well 
* Exceptionally strong open flow production rates of 230 barrels per day 
  achieved from well 103 - the first well drilled on the dry salt lake 
* Three fold increase in oil production from the field between December 2005 and 
  May 2006 
* Increase in oil price received from $17.50 per barrel to approximately $65.00 
  per barrel (Urals Blend) through exports


Implementation of the programme is still in its early phase. Workovers continue
to deliver improved results. The success of the initial 2006 wells will lead to
an expanded drilling progam. Exploration well - 104 on the extents of the
current licence area is underway and the Company continues to pursue its
objective to significantly increase the size of its licence area. Within the
current licence area the drill rig will remain running and we expect to drill,
in addition to wells 101 to 105, 7-8 new wells in the remainder of 2006 for a
total of 12-13 for the year. Our low operating and capital costs allow us to
drill 10 new production wells for approximately $3m - approximately a quarter of
the cost of a only one new well for our deeper drilling exploration competitors.

An expansion of the licence area would allow for a greatly expanded drilling
programme and in particular the ability to target the flanks and sides of the
Zhengeldy salt dome. These target structures are in the range of 1000-2000
metres and provide the potential for significantly larger oil pays and
production rates. We suspect there are significant traps on the sides of the
salt dome and targeted seismic work later this year should assist us to identify
target traps for drilling these deeper wells. Ideally we would have seen the
licence extension granted in 2005 but there have been unanticipated delays in
regulatory clearance procedures. We will continue to patiently pursue the
licence area extension.

Financially 2005 was a development or staging post year for the Company with a
reported loss of #1.2m reflecting the initial difficulties and setbacks with
field performance. In total 30,000 barrels of oil were produced from 4 main
producing wells at an average rate of 82 barrels a day. During the year at total
of 34,516 barrels were shipped and sold for an average price of $18 per barrel
for total revenue of $621,026 or #318,578.

The combination of higher production and higher prices is expected to result in
significantly higher revenue for Caspian in 2006 and is expected to continue
going forward into 2007, The magnitude for improvement is best illustrated by
the change in performance since 2005 - the Company has gone from having 4 wells
producing approximately in total 100 barrels per day and selling the oil at
$17.50 per barrel for a daily revenue of $1,750 in December 2005 to in May 2006
having 9 wells producing an a total of approximately 300 barrels per day and
selling oil at approximately $65 per barrel for a daily revenue of $19,500.     
The Company's financial position has been strengthened since year end through
two share placements which raised in total #3.34m. These funds will be used to
expand drilling operations in Zhengeldy with the objective of increasing
production rates and for general working capital. The 2006 drilling programme of
around 12-13 wells should cost approximately $4m and has demonstrated the
capacity to significantly increase production and cashflows from the field.

In closing I would like to thank the management, in particular Igor Borisov,
Yevgeniy Semikov and Dietmar Greil for their efforts through the year. Turning
around the Company's performance from the mid year setbacks has required much
focus and intense work. The non executive Directors have strongly supported the
Company through its challenging times and on behalf of the Board I would like to
thank Malcolm James who retired in May 2006 for his contribution to the Company.
I would also like to welcome Andrew Robinson who joined the board in May 2006 as
Non Executive Technical Director.
 

Yours faithfully

CASPIAN HOLDINGS Plc 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005 

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of preparation  

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations and with those parts of
the Companies Act 1985 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The
financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries made 
up to 31 December 2005.

No income statement is presented for the Company as permitted by S230 (4) of the 
Companies Act 1985.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation, which represents the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is shown in the balance sheet
as an asset and will be amortised evenly over its estimated useful life. In
addition to the systematic amortisation, the book value is written down to
recoverable amount when any impairment is identified.

The directors consider the estimated useful life of goodwill to be in line with
the contract between Taraz LLP and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
for the exclusive right to use the subsurface on the Zhengeldy oil field which
terminates on 27 May 2024.

Intangible assets

Amortisation is calculated and provided in order to write off each asset over
its estimated useful economic life, such amortisation to commence when the asset
concerned is initially used within the business.

                                                                           
Royalty     - 5% - 33% on cost
Software    - 5% - 33% on cost

Royalty 

Royalty costs represent payments to the Republic of Kazakhstan, which are paid
quarterly until 25 January 2020.

The associated liability is shown within current and non current trade and other
payables and has been discounted at the rate of 9%.

Exploration and evaluation costs 

The group has adopted IFRS 6 "Exploration for and evaluation of mineral 
resources".

The group follows the successful efforts method of accounting for exploration
and evaluation costs. All licence, acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs
are initially capitalised as intangible fixed assets in cost centres by field
pending determination of the commerciality of the relevant field. Directly
attributable costs not specific to any particular licence or prospect are
expensed as incurred.

An exploration and evaluation asset is assessed for impairment when facts and
circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable
amount. Such triggering events are defined in IFRS 6 and include the point at
which a determination is made as to whether commercial reserves exist.

If prospects are deemed to be impaired ("unsuccessful") on completion of
evaluation, the associated costs are charged to the income statement. If the
field is determined to be commercially viable, the attributable costs are
transferred to property, plant and equipment in single field cost centres. These
costs are then depreciated on a unit of production basis.

Property, plant and equipment 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off
each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under finance lease, over
the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

                                                                                     
Bore holes                      10% on cost       
Motor vehicles                  20% on cost       
Plant and equipment             20% - 33% on cost 
Furniture and other equipment   10% - 33% on cost 

Deferred Tax  
 
The tax charge is based on the profit for the period and takes into account
taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain
items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised in
respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that
will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive
more, tax, in the future. In particular:

 
 * Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and similar 
   fair value adjustments) of fixed assets, and gains on disposal of fixed 
   assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets, only to the extent
   that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of 
   the assets concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the basis of 
   all available evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely than not
   that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets and charged 
   to tax only where the replacement assets are sold. 

 * Provision is made for deferred tax that would arise on remittance of the 
   retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures 
   only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, dividends have been
   accrued as receivable. 

 * Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the Directors 
   consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable 
   profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences 
   can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on
tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
 
Inventories  

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after
making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
 
Foreign currencies 

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date
of the transaction or at the contracted rate. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date or, if appropriate, at the forward contract
rate. All differences are taken to the income statement.

Where the trade of a foreign enterprise is more dependent on the economic
environment of the parent Company then the Financial Statements of the
undertaking are consolidated using the Temporal method on the following basis:

 
 * Fixed assets are translated into sterling at the rates ruling on the date of 
   acquisition. 

 * Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are 
   translated into sterling at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance 
   sheet date. 

 * Revenue and expenses in foreign currencies are recorded in sterling at the 
   rates ruling at the date of the transactions. 

 * Any gains or losses arising on translation are reported in the income 
   statement.  

Hire purchase and leasing commitments 

Assets held under finance leases, which are leases where substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the Group, and hire
purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and are depreciated over
their useful lives. The capital elements of future obligations under leases and
hire purchase contracts are included as liabilities in the balance sheet. The
interest elements of the rental obligations are charged in the income statement
over the periods of the leases and hire purchase contracts and represent a
constant proportion of the balance of capital payments outstanding.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the income statement on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

2. REVENUE 

Revenue represents income derived from the extraction and sale of oil by the 
Company's subsidiary undertaking Taraz LLP.

4. EXCEPTIONAL ITEM 

Included in administrative expenses is #180,201 (USD 310,000) relating to sums
held by Kazcommerce Bank in a transit account. Caspian had requested a transfer
of these funds to its 100% owned subsidiary Taraz LLP, which held a bank account
with Nauryz Bank Kazakhstan. Prior to receipt of the funds Naruz was put into
administration and these funds were frozen in the Kazcommerce Bank transit
account. In 2005 the Company received indications from the Kazakhstan National
Bank that the funds would be returned to Caspian. Despite Company
representations the funds have not been returned and as a result, Caspian has
commenced legal action to effect recovery. The Directors have deemed it
appropriate to write off the amount of USD 310,000. All efforts will continue to
be made to recover the funds.

No liability to corporation tax arose on ordinary activities for the year ended 
31 December 2005 nor for the year ended 31 December 2004.

As at 31 December 2005, the Group had unrecognised tax losses arising in
Kazakhstan of #1,101,349 (2004 #372,441) and United Kingdom of #288,531(2004
#294,091) that are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable
profits of those companies in which the losses arose, subject to the conditions
of deductibility under the relevant legislation.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these losses. These
assets will be recognised should it become more likely than not that taxable
profits or timing differences, against which they may be deducted, arise.
 
8. LOSS OF THE PARENT UNDERTAKING 

The parent undertaking's loss for the financial year before and after taxation
amounted to #172,478 (2004 #380,082).

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to
ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighed average number of
shares adjusted to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares.
