Chairman's Statement

Having restructured the management team and appointed a new and highly
experienced acting Chief Executive, the new Board feels it is now in a position
to move the Group forward.  Issues highlighted by the strategic review have been
addressed and new reporting procedures are being implemented.

The loss for the period under review is �2.9 million; the bulk of which is made
up of provisions on future crane contracts.

We are restructuring our US operations and have already appointed a new
operations manager and a new US financial controller who, in conjunction with
the Board, will be reviewing and renegotiating contracts to enable a profitable
outcome from our current order book

However, a number of contracts are expected to continue to affect the Company's
performance in the current financial year.  Where losses are foreseeable these
have been provided for in the current financial statements as per accounting
standards.

The order book continues to grow and enquiry levels remain high but the emphasis
is on ensuring that we only take-on profitable business.

The recommended offer by EMER International Group Limited is progressing and it
is expected that the offer document will be posted on or around 4 February 2008.

I should also like to thank Spring Capital for having the conviction to invest
in GME.  The funds that they have made available will allow us to improve the
business operationally and improve financial planning within the Group.

The Group still faces challenging times ahead but, now that we have secured
finance for our ongoing working capital requirements, GME is on a firmer
financial footing upon which we can build.  We are operating in a buoyant
marketplace and there is strong demand for GME's quality products and after
sales' services worldwide.  We now need to focus on achieving profitable sales
growth.

Brent Fitzpatrick, Chairman

Finance Director's Statement

This is the first time the Company has reported under International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) The Interim Report is therefore much longer than
usual as it contains a number of reconciliations between UK GAAP and IFRS.  The
accounts for prior periods have been restated under IFRS and whilst audited
under UK GAAP have not yet been audited under IFRS. There have been a number of
changes to previous periods, the most material being adjustments arising in the
financial statements to the year 31 March 2006.  These adjustments reduced the
loss in the year to 31 March 2007 but increased the loss in the year to 31 March
2006.

The directors are pleased to note that there has been a significant increase in
turnover in this half year compared to the same period last year. Turnover for
this period exceeds the turnover for the whole of the year to 31 March 2007.
Turnover will continue to grow as GME delivers its current order book. Despite
significant provisions for losses on contracts to be delivered in the future the
Company produced a gross profit.  The Company will continue to look for ways of
increasing gross margin in the future through a mixture of greater sales values
and lower construction costs.

Overheads remain high as a proportion of sales and a cost reduction plan is
being implemented. The costs of professional advise during the strategic review
and subsequent bid process is a significant factor. These costs have been
separated out on the face of the profit and loss account as an exceptional item.

The Company now has a working capital facility from Spring Capital of Singapore.
This loan will enable the Company to meet its financial commitments and aid the
delivery of the Company's significant order book.

subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the period ended 30 September 2007 were
authorised for issue by the board of directors on
20 December 2007. Global Marine Energy Plc is a public limited company
incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. The Company's ordinary shares
are traded on the London Stock Exchange.

The principal accounting policies adopted by the Group are set out in note 2.

2.      Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The interim financial information has been prepared for the first time in
accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU, which have been
adopted from 1 April 2006 with comparative figures restated accordingly. The
reconciliations to IFRSs from the previously published UK GAAP financial
statements are summarised in note 6.

The accounting policies are based on current IFRS, International Financial
Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations and current
International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") exposure drafts that are
expected to be issued as final standards and adopted by the EU such that they
are effective for the year ending 31 March 2008. These standards are subject to
ongoing review and endorsement by the EU and further IFRIC interpretations and
may therefore be subject to change. The Group's first IFRS financial statements
may consequently be prepared on the basis of accounting policies or
presentations that are different to those set out in the interim financial
information.

The interim financial information does not constitute statutory accounts as
defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985 and are unaudited. The
financial information for the year ended
31 March 2007 is based on the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March
2007, as restatement under IFRS as described above.  Those accounts, upon which
the auditors issued a qualified opinion, have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies.

The preparation of financial information requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as
+at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses
during the year. The nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could
differ from those estimates.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of
causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year are the measurement and impairment of goodwill,
the estimation of share-based payment costs and the estimation of costs to
complete on contracts. The estimation of share-based payment costs requires the
selection of an appropriate valuation model, consideration as to the inputs
necessary for the valuation model chosen and the estimation of the number of
awards that will ultimately vest, inputs for which arise from judgements
relating to the probability of meeting non-market performance conditions and the
continuing participation of employees.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date
on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the
date that such control ceases. Control comprises the power to govern the
financial and operating policies of the investee so as to obtain benefit from
its activities and is achieved through direct or indirect ownership of voting
rights; currently exercisable or convertible potential voting rights; or by way
of contractual agreement. The financial statements of subsidiaries used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same
reporting period as the parent company and are based on consistent accounting
policies. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised
profits arising from them, are eliminated.

Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in
subsidiaries that is not held by the Group and is presented within equity in the
consolidated balance sheet, separately from the parent shareholders' equity.

Long term contracts

Long term contracts are assessed on a contract by contract basis and reflected
in the income statement by recording revenue and related costs as contract
activity progresses, and where the Company has met its contractual obligations.
Revenue is ascertained in a manner appropriate to the stage of completion of the
contract, and credit taken for profit earned to once the design phase has been
fully completed and when the outcome of the contract can be assessed with
reasonable certainty. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the
proportion of contract cost incurred for work performed to date compared to the
estimated total contract costs. Full provision is made for all known or expected
losses on individual contracts immediately such losses are foreseen. Variations
in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that
it is probable they will result in revenue.

Pre contract costs are expensed to the income statement and not included as part
of contract costs since prior to that point the group is not able to determine
with sufficient probability that the contract will be obtained.

Exceptional costs

The group discloses items of income or expense as exceptional where the cost or
income is of such size or incidence that the additional disclosure is required
for the reader to understand the financial statements.


2.   Accounting policies (continued)

Goodwill

Business combinations on or after 1 April 2004 are accounted for under IFRS 3
using the purchase method. Any excess of cost of the business combination over
the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities is recognised in the balance sheet as
goodwill and is not amortised. To the extent that the net fair value of the
acquired entity's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is
greater than the cost of the investment, a gain is recognised immediately in the
income statement. Goodwill recognised as an asset as at 31 March 2004 is
recorded at its carrying amount under UK GAAP and is not amortised.

After initial recognition, goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses, with the carrying value being reviewed for impairment, at
least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the related
cash-generating units monitored by management. Where the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill,
an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit is taken
into account when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the unit, or of an
operation within it.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are carried initially at
cost.

Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is
provided at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual
value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Computer software                                  33 to 50% per annum

The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be
recoverable.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses. Cost comprises the aggregate amount paid and
the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset and
includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as
intended.

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment at rates
calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset
evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Leasehold property                                 16-33% per annum

Plant and equipment                                20 to 50% per annum

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment
if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be
recoverable, and are written down immediately to their recoverable amount.
Useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and where adjustments are
required these are made prospectively.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the
asset. Any gain or loss arising on the derecognition of the asset is included in
the income statement in the period of derecognition.


2.   Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an
asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment
testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's
recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or
cash-generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash
inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of
assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount,
the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Impairment losses on continuing operations are recognised in the income
statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the
impaired asset.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or
may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is
estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount
since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying
amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased
amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior
years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried
at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation
increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future
periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual
value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of
finished stocks and work in progress includes all costs incurred in bringing
each product to its present location and condition including the overheads
appropriate to the sate of manufacture.

Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs
expected to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Income taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the tax authorities, based on tax rates and laws that
are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements, with the following exceptions:

*  where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of
   goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
   combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor
   taxable profit or loss;

*  in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with
   investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary
   differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences
   will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and


2.   Accounting policies (continued)

*  deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it
   is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
   temporary differences, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be
   utilised.

Deferred income tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that
are expected to apply in the year in which the related asset or liability is
settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional
currency by applying the spot exchange rate ruling at the date of the
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the
balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the income statement, except
for differences on monetary assets and liabilities that form part of the Group's
net investment in a foreign operation. These are taken directly to equity until
the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in income
statement.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into sterling at
the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are
translated at weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting
exchange differences are taken directly to a separate component of equity. On
disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in
equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the income
statement.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial
transactions.

Pensions

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme whose assets are held
separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund.
Contributions are charged to the income statement as they become payable.

Leases

Assets held under finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all
the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are
capitalised at the inception of the lease, with a corresponding liability being
recognised for the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present
value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the
reduction of the lease liability and finance charges in the income statement so
as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of
the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Leases where the lessor retains a significant portion of the risks and benefits
of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases and rentals payable
are charged in the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease
term.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised and carried at the lower of their original
invoiced value and recoverable amount. Where the time value of money is
material, receivables are carried at amortised cost. Provision is made when
there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to recover balances
in full. Balances are written off when the probability of recovery is assessed
as being remote.


2.   Accounting policies (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in
hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of
outstanding bank overdrafts.

Convertible loan note

Obligations for loan notes issued are recognised when the Group becomes party to
the related contracts and are measured initially at fair value less directly
attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses arising on the repurchase, settlement, conversion into shares
or otherwise cancellation of liabilities are recognised respectively in finance
revenue and finance cost.

Provisions

Provision for loss making contracts is recognised for the amount by which costs
exceeds revenue based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the Group's liability.

A provision is recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation
as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material,
expected future cash flows are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that
reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net
of any reimbursement. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to unwinding the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

Share-based payments

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees, for awards granted after
7 November 2002 that had not vested by 1 April 2006, is measured by reference to
the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is
determined by an external valuer using an appropriate pricing model.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for
awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated
as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied,
provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied.

At each balance sheet date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated,
representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management's
best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market conditions and of
the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest or, in the case of an
instrument subject to a market condition, be treated as vesting as described
above. The movement in cumulative expense since the previous balance sheet date
is recognised in the income statement, with a corresponding entry in equity.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share
dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

to the bids for the company by IDM Group Limited and EMER International Group
Limited.

6.    Transition to IFRSs

For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 March 2007, the group
prepared its financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom generally
accepted accounting principles (UK GAAP). Financial statements for the year
ending 31 March 2008 will be the first the Group is

required to prepare in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU).

Accordingly, the Group has prepared interim financial statements which comply
with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRSs which have been adopted
from 1 April 2006 with comparative figures restated accordingly. The significant
accounting policies meeting the requirements of IFRSs are described in Note 2.

In preparing these interim financial reports, the Group has started from an
opening balance sheet as at 1 April 2006, the Group's date of transition to
IFRSs, and made those changes in accounting policies and other restatements
required by IFRS 1 for the first time-adoption of IFRS. This note explains the
principal adjustments made by the Group in restating its UK GAAP balance sheet
as at 1 April 2006 and its previously published UK GAAP financial statements for
the year ended 31 March 2007. The adjustments to IFRSs are classified below
under three headings: 'reclassification' 'remeasurement' and 'restatement'.

Exemptions applied

IFRS 1 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the general
requirement to apply IFRSs retrospectively.  The Group has made the following
decisions regarding the exemptions available under IFRS 1: TC "2. Accounting
policies" /l "3"

  * The group has elected to set the cumulative translation differences for
    all foreign operations to zero at 1 April 2006; and
  * The Group has chosen to apply IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" prospectively
    from 1 April 2004 and has not restated goodwill arising from transactions
    prior to this date.
  * IFRS 2 Share-based Payment has not been applied to any equity instruments
    that were granted on or before 7 November 2002.

Transition to IFRSs (continued)

Group reconciliation of equity as at 1 April 2006



Transition to IFRSs (continued)

The following changes to accounting policies and presentation resulted from the
transition to IFRSs:

Reclassifications

a) Intangible assets

IAS 38 - Intangible assets requires that software costs which are not integral
to the operation of the piece of machinery be classified as intangible assets.
The costs and depreciation relating to expenditure on software which is not
integral to the operation of machinery has been reclassified from property plant
and equipment to intangible assets.

A reclassification �15,461 was made on transition to IFRS on 1 April 2006 and
further reclassifications were made during the period to 30 September 2006
(�29,322) and year to 31 March 2007 (�28,752).

b) Shares to be issued

IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation states that where a contract is
settled in an entity's own equity and the entity is required to deliver a
variable number of shares whose value equals a fixed amount then the contract is
not an equity instrument, but is a financial asset or a financial liability.
Shares to be issued have been reclassified as liabilities in other creditors due
within one year in accordance with IAS 32. Exchange differences arising on the
liability within the balance sheet are recognised in the income statement in the
period in which they arise.

c) Foreign exchange reserve

IAS 21 - Foreign Exchange states that in consolidated financial statements that
exchange differences arising on investments in foreign operations shall be
recognised initially in a separate component of equity. The amounts were
previously recognised in the profit and loss reserve under UK GAAP and have been
reclassified to a separate foreign exchange reserve under IFRS.



Remeasurements

d) Goodwill

Under UK GAAP, the Group amortised goodwill over its useful economic life. IFRS
3 - Business Combinations requires that goodwill is not amortised but is subject
to an annual impairment review instead. IFRS requires that an impairment test is
carried out at the date of transition to IFRSs based on the conditions at the
time of transition to IFRSs. No impairment was identified at the date of
transition and no adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill were made.
Subsequent impairment tests performed in accordance with IAS 38 at 31 March 2007
resulted in the impairment of the goodwill balance in full.

The remeasurement adjustments made to the Group balance sheet reverse the
amortisation of goodwill charged under UK GAAP since 1 April 2004 (the date from
which the Group has elected to apply IFRS 3) as follows:


                                                               Amortisation
                                                                          �

Amortisation charged from 1 April 2004 to date of transition        140,666


Amortisation charged in the period to 30 September 2006              42,877

                                                                   ---------
                                                                    183,543
                                                                   ---------

e) Holiday pay accrual

IAS 19 - Employee Benefits requires that where an entity compensates employees
for holiday, an accrual be recognised to the extent that accumulated untaken
entitlement can be carried forward and taken or paid in a future period. Holiday
pay accruals were not recognised by the group under UK GAAP. The following
accruals were made in accordance with IAS 19.


                                                                    Accrual
                                                                          �
1 April 2006                                                         24,419

30 September 2006                                                     7,440

31 March 2007                                                        10,950


f) Share based payments

IFRS 2 - Share based payments requires the fair value of options which
ultimately vest to be charged to the income statement over the vesting or
performance period. The fair value is determined at the date of the grant using
an appropriate pricing model. The group has taken the exemption available under
IFRS 1 not to calculate the share based payment costs for any equity instruments
that were granted on or before 7 November 2002. The cost of share options issued
subsequent to this date totalling �87,476 that were not recognised under UK GAAP
have been recognised within reserves on transition (1 April 2006).

                                             ---------------  --------------- --------------- 


g) Restatements

In the year to 31 March 2007 it came to light that some significant costs were
recorded in the year to 31 March 2007 which related to contracts which had been
regarded as completed or substantially completed in the year to 31 March 2006.

IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors requires
that material prior period errors be corrected retrospectively by restating the
comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error
occurred; or if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented,
restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the
earliest prior period presented.

The Group has restated the prior period results for errors which were not
considered fundamental under UK GAAP, but which should be corrected through
prior period adjustments in accordance with IAS 8.



Presentation of financial reports

The overall presentation of the interim financial statements have been affected
by the application of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IAS 7 "
Cash Flow Statements"



Restatement of cash flow statement from UK GAAP to IFRS

The transition from UK GAAP to IFRS has no effect upon the reported cash flows
by the group. The IFRS cash flow statement is presented in a different format
from that required under UK GAAP with cash flows split into three categories of
activities - operating activities, investing activities and financing
activities. The reconciling items between the UK GAAP presentation and the IFRS
presentation have no net impact on the cash flows generated.
