The Group is geographically diverse, with operations across NSW at the Southern, Western, Hunter Valley and Narrabri coalfields and the Bowen Basin in Queensland. The Group s objective is to provide value-add services to clients by forging profitable long term partnerships.

7 Principal activities The principal activities of the Group during the course of the interim period were the provision of contract mine services for the underground coal industry within Australia embodying the following activities: Total mine operation Roadway development Longwall relocations Equipment rental Mine services including: - Secondary support - Underground civil works - Dyke excavation - Longwall and development support - Supplementary labour There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group during the interim period. Operational Highlights Striving for a zero harm workplace continues to be the target for our Group, with the health and safety of our employees being a core value for the Group. This commitment is demonstrated by the continued improvement in the Group s safety performance for the year to date, with reductions in both the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) (15% and 15% respectively). With clear performance expectations being set by leading zero harm initiatives, the number of leading initiatives being undertaken has increased by 80% compared to the corresponding reporting period in FY11. The Group s operations during the half-year focused on our existing client base and successful implementation of new contracts. New work undertaken included- Narrabri mine longwall surface build on behalf of Caterpillar Global Products Whitehaven Coal Narrabri development contract. To undertake this contract Delta SBD recruited 60 employees on a fly in fly out basis to man two development panels using the client s equipment. Ulan (twice) and Ravensworth longwall move contracts Dyke extraction at Grasstree In ongoing work, the company successfully completed six longwall moves projects, including Ulan, Ravensworth, Wambo, Grasstree, Integra and Narrabri. Production at Boral s Berrima mine site was 139k tonnes for the period, up 40% from the comparative period. The company continued to successfully sustain our operations at BHP Illawarra Coal s Appin mine and at Peabody Energy Australia Metropolitan mine. The Company s workforce continued to increase from 418 in June 2011 to 489 in December A further rise in employee numbers is expected as industry growth continues. Demand for equipment hire from our expanding fit for purpose equipment fleet increased, with hire utilisation up from 50% to 62%. Page 7 of 22

8 Our commitment to expand our fit for purpose longwall relocation and development equipment continued, with the following notable items occurring during the period: New longwall relocation equipment delivered included a 60 tonne heavy lift machine and two 15 tonne loaders. (The 130 tonne shearer carrier is due for delivery in February 2012). The company purchased additional coal drivage development equipment, positioning the company well for further contract work. The development equipment included a continuous miner, a feeder breaker, four ram cars, a shuttle car, two substations, two auxiliary ventilation fans, a pipe trailer, a Brumby tool carrier and two distribution control boxes. Other capital acquisitions included four personnel drift runners (personnel and equipment transporters), a jumbo dyke extraction drill and blast rig and two 7 tonne loaders. The previously ordered new Joy 12CM 30 Continuous miner remains on schedule for delivery in July These acquisitions demonstrate the company s focus on continually expanding our fit-for-purpose equipment to ensure we are in a strong position to respond to demand from clients as new mines are developed and existing clients look to increase production.

21 Independent auditor s review report to the members of Delta SBD Limited Report on the financial report We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Delta SBD Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes 1 to 9 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year s end or from time to time during the half-year. Directors responsibility for the interim financial report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor s responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations As auditor of Delta SBD Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Independence In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act Page 21 of 22

22 Conclusion Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of Delta SBD Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations KPMG David Willcocks Partner Wollongong 24 February 2012 Page 22 of 22
