Financial Overview

-- First half revenue of $54.5 million, 4.6% lower than H2 2017 at $57.1 million (H1 2017: $62.3 million)

-- Lower revenue driven by reduced fleet utilisation as the Group continues to redeploy assets to West Africa

-- EBITDA increased by 7.8% to $12.5 million (H1 2017: $11.6 million), with EBITDA margins expanding to 22.9% (H1 2017: 18.7%), reflecting the benefits of improved cost management

   --    Net profit after tax of $2.8 million, 7.7% increase on H1 2017 (H1 2017: $2.6 million) 

-- Capex increased by 11% to $4.7 million (H1 2017: $4.2 million), primarily directed to the purchase of replacement production rigs and asset improvements

   --    Net cash of $3.4 million, maintaining the Group's strong balance sheet 
   --    Earnings per share improved by 5.3% to 2.0 cents (H1 2017:  1.9 cents) 

-- Final dividend in relation to the 2017 financial year of 1.2 cents per share, paid in May 2018 (FY 2016: 1.0 cent)

-- Interim dividend of 0.6 cent per share, up 20%, to be paid 05 October 2018 (2017: Interim dividend of 0.5 cents per share)

Operational and Strategic Review

   --    Contracts awarded in H1 2018 include: 
   -     Aton Resources (Egypt): one rig, commenced drilling in Q3 
   -     De Beers (Botswana): three rigs, commenced drilling in Q3 
   -     Graphex Mining (Tanzania): one rig, commenced drilling in Q3 
   -     Hummingbird (Mali): four rigs, commenced drilling in July 

- Kinross (Mauritania): Two-year drill rig maintenance contract for two blast hole rigs, commenced in Q2

   -     OreCorp (Mauritania): one rig, program completed in Q1 

- Resolute (Mali): Awarded a three-year surface exploration drilling contract, currently drilling with three rigs

   --    Contract wins reflecting the continued improvement in the exploration drilling market 

-- Long term contract wins (Resolute and Kinross) building the Group's portfolio of multi-year mine-site based contracts

-- Made significant progress expanding the Group's presence in the West Africa region, including asset mobilisations which increased our rig number to 26 rigs, with further rigs scheduled for Q3 arrival

-- Established infrastructure with offices, warehouses, workshops and accommodation in Bamako, Mali, and Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire, adding to the existing presence in Mauritania

   --    Appointed a Business Development Manager, Julian Blake, initially based in Ghana 

-- H1 utilisation of 46%, down from 56% in H1 2017, on an average fleet size of 94 rigs, with substantial assets redeployment to West Africa

   --    H1 Average Revenue per Operating Rig (ARPOR) increased to $200,000 (H1 2017: $191,000) 

-- Continued strength in ARPOR reflecting strong contract performance at major mine site contracts

Health & Safety

   --    Previously announced world class achievements: 
   -     Mali (Syama Project) achieved two years LTI free in June 2018 
   -     Tanzania (North Mara Project) achieved two years LTI free in March 2018 
   -     Tanzania (Geita Project) achieved one year LTI free in March 2018 

Outlook

-- Trading conditions continue to be supportive, with elevated levels of enquires and tendering requests

-- Capital markets activity continues to support future demand, albeit recent weakness in metal prices and economic uncertainty has lead to an easing in market sentiment since the last update

-- Cash generation from miners remain at healthy levels which is driving increased budgets and demand from the producers

-- Recent contract awards add to the Group's portfolio of long term production and mine-site based contracts

-- While activity levels in Tanzania remain subdued, recent feedback suggest constructive dialogue with the Government and progress with the newly formed Mining Commission

-- Asset deployment and infrastructure development in the key West African market has provided Capital Drilling with a solid platform to grow operations in this high growth market

   --        The Group maintains a strong balance sheet and unutilised assets to capture future growth opportunities 

Following a number of contract wins across existing countries of operation, including the key focus market of West Africa, the Group maintains its upgraded revenue guidance range of $105 to $115 million for 2018.

Commenting on the results, Jamie Boyton, Executive Chairman of Capital Drilling, said:

"We are pleased to report another strong half yearly result, both in terms of the Group's financial performance and strategy execution. With a supportive demand cycle and robust discipline from the management team on costs and CAPEX, the Group has continued to deliver on its financial goals, with solid free cash flow and a strong balance sheet. Particularly pleasing was the increase in key profitability measures and margins, despite the reduced fleet utilisation and revenue, driven by the strategic redeployment of assets to the key West African markets. As a result of the performance, we have today announced an interim dividend to shareholders of 0.6 cents per share, representing a 20% increase on the prior half year period.

The building of our business in West Africa has been the major focus of our growth strategy over the past 6 months. The Group has developed new operational centres in Côte d'Ivoire and Mali over the period, complementing our long established operations in Mauritania, all of which provide the infrastructure to deploy further production and exploration rigs into what is regarded as one of the fastest growing drilling markets in the industry. We ended the half year period with 26 rigs across these countries, almost doubling our capacity in the six month period, with further rigs and assets due to arrive in the third quarter.

Our increased footprint and presence in West Africa has yielded early results, with the Group announcing three new contracts in the region, with Kinross Gold (Tasiast), Resolute Mining (Syama) and Hummingbird Resources (Yanfolila). As a result of these contract wins, along with exploration contract wins in Botswana, Egypt and Tanzania, the Group expects to see an increase in utilisation rates over the second half, which fully underpins the investment we have made to target the West African market.

Outside of West Africa our core long term contracts in Tanzania and Egypt have continued to perform strongly, which was reflected in a further improvement in Average Revenue per Operating Rig for the period. We are encouraged to see early signs of improvement in the Tanzanian market, including the formation of the Mining Commission and increasingly positive feedback on Government engagement from companies operating in the country. The awarding of our first exploration contract in Tanzania in two years is particularly encouraging, as we continue to seek to utilise our substantial latent capacity in our exploration fleet.

We are pleased to have had another exceptional quarter in terms of our safety record, which remains at the heart of our strategy, with a number of new safety records at Syama, North Mara and Geita sites.

We enter the second half of 2018 in a strong position, with our traditional markets in East Africa now complemented with a substantial presence in the key West African region. Tendering & enquiry levels remain robust and we are confident of future contract wins in the period ahead."

Cautionary note regarding forward looking statements

Certain information contained in this report, including any information on Capital Drilling's plans or future financial or operating performance and other statements that express management's expectations, or estimates of future performance, constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management at the time, are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties. Capital Drilling cautions that such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of Capital Drilling to be materially different than the Company's estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. These factors include the inherent risks involved in exploration and development of mineral properties, changes in economic conditions, changes in the worldwide price of commodities and project execution delays, many of which are beyond the control of Capital Drilling.

INDEPENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2018 which comprises the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity, the cash flow statement and related notes 1 to 18. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB"). Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). The condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the IASB.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Group a conclusion on the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the IAASB. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, 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 International Standards on Auditing 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as issued by the IASB and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

 CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED 
  NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2018 
 
 1.   Basis of presentation and accounting policies 
 
      Preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial 
       statements 
      The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of 
       Capital Drilling Limited and Subsidiaries ("Capital Drilling" 
       or the "Group") as at and for the six months ended 30 June 
       2018 (the "Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared 
       in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 
       No. 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". They should be read 
       in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements 
       and the notes thereto in the Group's Annual Report for the 
       year ended 31 December 2017 which have been prepared in accordance 
       with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as 
       issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). 
       The Interim Financial Statements have been reviewed in terms 
       of International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410. 
 
      Accounting policies 
      The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have 
       been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical 
       cost convention, except for certain financial instruments which 
       are measured at fair value. The Group has adopted a number 
       of new standards and interpretations effective on or before 
       1 January 2018, which were described in note 2 of the consolidated 
       financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. The 
       adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have 
       a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial 
       statements. The same accounting policies, presentation and 
       methods of computation have been followed in these condensed 
       consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation 
       of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 
       2017 except for new accounting policies adopted during the 
       year described in Note 4 and Note 5. 
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
       IFRS recognition and measurement principles requires the use 
       of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 
       of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management reviews 
       its estimates on an on-going basis using current available 
       information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result 
       in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those 
       estimates. 
 
 2.   Operations in the interim period 
 
      Capital Drilling Limited is incorporated in Bermuda. The Group 
       provides drilling services including but not limited to exploration, 
       development, grade control and blast hole drilling services 
       to mineral exploration and mining companies located in emerging 
       and developing markets. The Group also provides some equipment 
       rental and information technology services to mining and mining 
       related companies. 
      During the six months ended 30 June 2018, the Group provided 
       drilling services in Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Tanzania and 
       Kenya. 
      The seasonality of the Group's operations has no significant 
       impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. 
 
 3.   Taxation 
 
      Capital Drilling Limited is incorporated in Bermuda. No taxation 
       is payable on the results of the Bermuda business. Taxation 
       for other jurisdictions is calculated in terms of the legislation 
       and rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions. 
 
 
 CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED 
  NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2018 
 
 3.        Taxation (continued) 
           The Group operates in multiple jurisdictions with complex legal 
            and tax regulatory environments. In certain of these jurisdictions, 
            the Group has taken income tax positions that management believes 
            are supportable and are intended to withstand challenge by tax 
            authorities. Some of these positions are inherently uncertain 
            and include those relating to transfer pricing matters and the 
            interpretation of income tax laws. The Group periodically reassesses 
            its tax positions. Changes to the financial statement recognition, 
            measurement, and disclosure of tax positions is based on management's 
            best judgment given any changes in the facts, circumstances, 
            information available and applicable tax laws. Considering all 
            available information and the history of resolving income tax 
            uncertainties, the Group believes that the ultimate resolution 
            of such matters will not likely have a material effect on the 
            Group's financial position, statements of operations or cash 
            flows. 
 
            Due to the tax charge calculations in certain countries in which 
            the Group operates being based on revenues instead of profits, 
            the consolidated taxation expense for the period is not directly 
            linked to profits and losses. 
 4.        IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' 
           In the current financial year Capital Drilling has adopted IFRS 
            15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'. 
 
            The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise 
            revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services 
            to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to 
            which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those 
            goods or services. 
 
            "IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers", effective 
            from 1 January 2018 identifies performance obligations in contracts 
            with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance 
            obligations and recognises revenue as performance obligations 
            are satisfied. The standard requires revenue recognition either 
            "over time" or at a "point in time" and additionally requires 
            more detailed disclosures. 
 
            A detailed review of all material contracts confirmed that IFRS 
            15 will not result in a material change to the timing 
            of revenue or profit recognition on drilling contracts or long-term 
            drilling contracts. This assessment reflects that Capital Drilling's 
            contracting arrangements, which are predominantly long-term 
            drilling contracts, result in the continual transfer of benefits 
            and corresponding revenue recognition of the Group's performance 
            to customers over time. 
 
            When first applying IFRS 15, entities should apply the standard 
            in full for the current period, including retrospective application 
            to all contracts that were not yet complete at the beginning 
            of that period. In respect of prior periods, the transition 
            guidance allows entities an option to either: [IFRS 15:C3]. 
 
             *    Option 1 - apply IFRS 15 in full to prior periods 
                  (with certain limited practical expedients being 
                  available); or 
 
 
             *    Option 2- retain prior period figures as reported 
                  under the previous standards, recognising the 
                  cumulative effect of applying IFRS 15 as an 
                  adjustment to the opening balance of equity as at the 
                  date of initial application (beginning of current 
                  reporting period). 
 
 
 
            As part of the transition guidance, management have opted for 
            option 2, where prior period figures are reported under the 
            previous standards and an adjustment to be made to the opening 
            balance of equity as at the date of initial application. In 
            view that there is no material change to the timing of revenue 
            or profit recognition, there is no adjustment required to the 
            opening balance of equity. 
 
            Capital Drilling has always adopted a prudent approach to contract 
            accounting. Transparent financial control processes ensure that 
            recognition of profits and cash flow are aligned closely with 
            the delivery of our services.

 5.   IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 
      In the current year Capital Drilling has adopted IFRS 9 Financial 
       Instruments effective since 1 January 2018. 
       The standard comprises guidance on Classification and Measurement, 
       Impairment Hedge Accounting and Derecognition: 
 
        *    IFRS 9 introduces a new approach to the 
             classification of financial assets, which is driven 
             by the business model in which the asset is held and 
             their cash flow characteristics. A new business model 
             was introduced which does allow certain financial 
             assets to be categorised as 'fair value through other 
             comprehensive income' (FVTOCI) in certain 
             circumstances. The requirements for financial 
             liabilities are mostly carried forward unchanged from 
             IAS 39. However, some changes were made to the fair 
             value option for financial liabilities to address the 
             issue of own credit risk. 
 
 
        *    The new model introduces a single impairment model 
             being applied to all financial instruments, as well 
             as an 'expected credit loss' model for the 
             measurement of financial assets. 
 
        *    IFRS 9 contains a new model for hedge accounting that 
             aligns the accounting treatment with the risk 
             management activities of an entity, in addition, 
             enhanced disclosures will provide better information 
             about risk management and the effect of hedge 
             accounting on the financial statements. 
 
 
        *    IFRS 9 carries forward the derecognition requirements 
             of financial assets and liabilities from IAS 39. 
 
 
        *    Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation. The 
             narrow-scope amendment allows companies to measure 
             particular prepayable financial assets with negative 
             compensation at amortised cost or at fair value 
             through other comprehensive income if a specified 
             condition is met. 
 
 
       Capital Drilling has assessed the impact of this amendment and 
       found no material impact on specific or general provisions for 
       credit losses on its separate and consolidated financial statements 
       other than the additional disclosure requirements. Capital Drilling 
       does not have complex financial Instruments. The accounting treatment 
       for financial instruments under IFRS 9 and the historical accounting 
       treatment of Capital Drilling financial instruments does not 
       differ materially due to this absence of complex financial instruments. 
       Based on the historical loss ratios we are of the view that the 
       impairment of trade receivables due to the change of the impairment 
       model is not material. IFRS 9 did not significantly impact the 
       accounting treatment of inter-company loans. The company and 
       group does not have any hedged exposures and hedge accounting 
       is therefore not applicable.

   was declared and paid. 
 
 
 
 
 8.   Property, plant and equipment 
 
 
 
   During the six months ended 30 June 2018, the Group acquired 
   $5.4 million (2017: $4.2 million) of drilling rigs and other 
   assets to expand its operations and for the replacement of existing 
   assets. 
   The Group disposed of property, plant and equipment with a net 
   carrying amount of $0.4 million (2017: $0.5 million) during 
   the period. A loss of $0.3 million (2017: $0.1 million) was 
   incurred on the disposal of property, plant and equipment. 
 
   At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying 
    amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is 
    any indication that those assets may be impaired. As at 30 June 
    2018, there were no indication of impairment.

        The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same 
         as the Group's accounting policies described in note 1. Segment 
         profit (loss) represents the profit (loss) earned by each segment 
         without allocation of central administration costs, depreciation, 
         interest income, share of losses from associate, finance charges 
         and income tax. This is the measure reported to the Chairman for 
         the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

  NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2018 
 
 
 
 15.   Contingencies 
 
       Zambia Tax: 
 
       As disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements 
        for the year ended 31 December 2017, Capital Drilling (Zambia) 
        Limited is a party to various tax claims made by the Zambian 
        Revenue Authority for the tax years 2007 to 2013. On 30 April 
        2015, the Company received a tax assessment from the Zambian 
        Revenue Authority totalling ZMW 144.1 million (USD equivalent: 
        $13.1 million), inclusive of penalties and interest. The claims 
        relate to various taxes, including income tax, value added tax, 
        payroll tax and withholding tax. Since the assessment date, Management 
        have responded in detail to these claims, providing the Zambian 
        Revenue Authority with detailed analysis and arguments justifying 
        the Company's tax position. No amount has yet been paid in this 
        regard and no additional communication or actions were received 
        from the Zambian Revenue Authority to date. Capital Drilling 
        (Zambia) is currently dormant with no drilling revenue since 
        November 2014. An amount of $1.6 million has been raised relating 
        to certain areas of the claim, however the directors are of the 
        opinion that a significant portion of the tax claim by the Zambia 
        Revenue Authority is without merit. 
 
       Tanzania tax: 
 
       Capital Drilling (T) Ltd is party to a payroll tax claim made 
        by the Tanzanian Revenue Authority (TRA) for the tax years 2009-2015. 
        During the financial year ended 31 December 2016, the company 
        received an immediate demand notice from the (TRA) for Tanzanian 
        Shillings of 18,598,361,197 (US$ 8,374,660), inclusive of penalties 
        and interest. Management objected to the assessment raised by 
        the TRA and requested the calculations of the notice. In order 
        to object, according to Tanzanian Tax Law Sections 51(1) and 
        (5) of the TAA 2015, a taxpayer is required to pay the tax amount 
        not in dispute or one third of the assessed tax whichever is 
        greater. It is prudent to note that the Finance Act in 2016 added 
        a further subsection (9) in Section 51 regarding tax objections 
        and assessments. The said amendment provides: "Where the taxpayer 
        fails to pay the amount stated under subsection (5) within the 
        time provided therein, the assessed tax decision shall be confirmed 
        as final tax assessment in terms of section 15(1)(a) of the Tax 
        Revenue Appeals Act." In accordance with the above-mentioned 
        legislation, management reached an agreement with the TRA to 
        pay Tanzanian Shillings of 1,500,000,000 ($0.7 million) in lieu 
        of the one third of the assessed value. This amount was fully 
        provided for in the 2016 Annual Financial Statements. In June 
        2017 the TRA provided their workings to Capital Drilling (T) 
        Ltd. Capital Drilling (T) Ltd identified differences with the 
        TRA on both the specific merits and methodology used to determine 
        the value. Capital Drilling engaged PWC Tanzania and on 30 April 
        2018 provided updated calculations for review. Feedback from 
        the TRA is pending. Capital Drilling (T) Ltd has maintained an 
        engaging relationship with the TRA to find closure and resolution 
        to this matter. In order to continue the discussions and negotiations 
        with the TRA, Capital Drilling (T) Ltd has, at the request of 
        the TRA, paid an additional amount of Tanzanian Shillings of 
        2,600,000,000 ($1.14 million) as at 30 June 2018. This is in 
        line with the aforementioned Tanzanian Tax Law. 
 
        The TRA also raised a Withholding Tax liability of TZS 2,244,907,829 
        (US$ 1,024,268) inclusive of interest and penalties. The TRA 
        considered assets purchased by Capital Drilling (T) Ltd as leased. 
        The TRA interpreted these assets as a rental agreement rather 
        than permanent acquisition of these assets, which results in 
        no Withholding Tax liability. Management lodged an objection 
        on 14 November 2016 and paid an upfront payment of TZS 170,000,000 
        (US$ 77,564) in order to have the objection validated and acknowledged, 
        as is required per subsection (9) in Section 51 of the Income 
        Tax Act of Tanzania. Based on the above, management assessed 
        no further liability with regards to this assessment. As at 31 
        December 2017, this objection is still pending with the TRA and 
        no resolution has been reached as yet. 
 
 
 CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED 
  NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2018 
 
   16.                    Events post the reporting date 
 
                          Interim dividend declared: 
                           The directors proposed that an interim dividend of 0.6 cent per 
                           share be paid to shareholders on 5 October 2018. This dividend 
                           has not been included as a liability in these condensed consolidated 
                           interim financial statements. The proposed dividend is payable 
                           to all shareholders on the Register of Members on 7 September 
                           2018. The total estimated interim dividend to be paid is $0.8 
                           million (2017: $0.7 million). The payment of this dividend will 
                           have no tax consequences for the Group. 
 
   17.                    Going concern 
 
                          The Group has set specific objectives and also has policies and 
                           processes in place to manage its capital and its financial, credit 
                           risk and liquidity risks. 
                          The Group has borrowings and debt facilities which, together 
                           with its clients' receipts, fund its day to day working capital 
                           requirements. Volatile economic conditions may create uncertainty 
                           particularly over (a) the level of demand for the Group's services; 
                           (b) exchange rate fluctuations against the US Dollar and thus 
                           the consequence for the cost of the Group's direct costs; and 
                           (c) the availability of bank financing in the foreseeable future. 
                          The Group's forecasts and projections, taking into account potential 
                           changes in its performance, show that the Group should be able 
                           to operate within the level of its capital structure. The Group 
                           continuously discusses its future borrowing and / or refinancing 
                           needs with its bankers and no matters have been drawn to its 
                           attention to suggest that these needs may not be met on acceptable 
                           terms. 
                          The directors confirm that the Group has adequate resources to 
                           continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 
                           The Group continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting 
                           in preparing the interim financial statements.

         The Group's FVTOCI financial assets are listed equity securities 
          in the mining industry and measured at fair value at the end 
          of each reporting period. The FVTOCI investments are designated 
          as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Their fair value is determined 
          using quote bid prices in an active market. The Group's held-for-trading 
          financial assets are options and warrants to acquire shares in 
          listed equity securities that are not traded in an active market. 
          The held-for-trading financial assets are designated as level 
          2 in the fair value hierarchy. Their fair value is determined 
          using a binominal tree model valuation technique based on observable 
          market data that includes the value of the underlying security, 
          the exercise price, volatility and risk-free rate of return. 
 
          The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded 
          in an active market are determined using standard valuation techniques. 
          These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market 
          data where available and rely as little as possible on Group 
          specific estimates. The directors consider that the carrying 
          value amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded 
          at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements are 
          approximately equal to their fair values. The fair values disclosed 
          for the financial assets and financial liabilities are classified 
          in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have been assessed to 
          approximate their carrying amounts based on a discounted cash 
          flow assessment. 
 
 
 
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITEDSTATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY 
 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2018 
 
   The directors are responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting 
    records and the preparation and integrity of the condensed consolidated 
    interim financial statements and related information. The auditors 
    are responsible for expressing a review conclusion on the condensed 
    consolidated interim financial information based on their review. 
 
    The directors are also responsible for the Group's systems of internal 
    financial control. These are designed to provide reasonable, but 
    not absolute, assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, 
    and to adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability for 
    the Group's assets, and to prevent and detect misstatement and loss. 
    Nothing has come to the attention of the directors to indicate that 
    any material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures 
    and systems has occurred during the six months under review. 
 
   We confirm that to the best of our knowledge: 
 
   a)                                    the condensed set of consolidated interim financial statements, 
                                          which has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting 
                                          Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the 
                                          International Accounting Standards Boards gives a true and 
                                          fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and 
                                          profit or loss of the Group as required by DTR4.2.4R; 
   b)                                    the interim management report includes a fair review of the 
                                          information required by DTR 4.2.7R and DTR4.2.8; and 
   c)                                    there has been no significant individual related party transactions 
                                          during the first six months of the financial year and nor 
                                          have there been any significant changes in the Group's related 
                                          party relationships from those reported in the Group's annual 
                                          financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2017. 
 
     The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been 
     prepared on the going concern basis since the directors believe that 
     the Group has adequate resources in place to continue in operation 
     for the foreseeable future. 
 
     The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved 
     by the board of directors on 13 August 2018.

 Adjusted EBITDA 
 
     Adjusted EBITDA represents profit or loss for the year before interest, 
      income taxes, depreciation and amortisation adjusted for share of 
      income (loss) from associates, interest income, finance charges, 
      fair value adjustments on financial assets at fair value through 
      profit and loss and realised gain (loss) on FVTOCI shares. 
 
      Adjusted EBITDA is non-IFRS financial measures that is used as supplemental 
      financial measures by management and external users of financial 
      statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating 
      performance. These non-IFRS financial measures will assist our management 
      and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance 
      from period to period. 
 
      We believe that including Adjusted EBITDA assists our management 
      and investors in: - 
      i. understanding and analysing the results of our operating and business 
      performance, and 
 
      ii. monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in 
      assessing whether to continue to hold our shares. This is achieved 
      by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of 
      depreciation and amortisation, income (loss) from associate, interest 
      income, finance charges, fair value adjustment on financial assets 
      at fair value through profit and loss and realised gain (loss) on 
      FVTOCI shares, which may significantly affect comparability of results 
      of operations between periods. 
 
      Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as analytical tools and should not 
      be considered as alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior 
      to, profit or loss for the period or any other measure of financial 
      performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Further other companies 
      in our industry may calculate these measures differently from how 
      we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   Net cash (debt) 
 Net cash (debt) is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash and 
  cash equivalents less short term and long-term debt. 
 
  Management believe that net cash (debt) is a useful indicator 
  of the Group's indebtedness, financial flexibility and capital 
  structure because it indicates the level of borrowings after taking 
  account of cash and cash equivalents within the Group's business 
  that could be utilised to pay down the outstanding borrowings. 
  Management believes that net debt can assist securities analysts, 
  investors and other parties to evaluate the Group. Net cash (debt) 
  and similar measures are used by different companies for differing 
  purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances 
  of those companies. Accordingly, caution is required in comparing 
  net debt as reported by the Group to net cash (debt) of other companies. 
 Net Asset Value per share (cents) 
 Net Asset Value per share (cents) is a non-financial measure taking 
  into consideration the total equity over the weighted average number 
  of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. 
 
  Management believes that the net asset value per share is a useful 
  indicator of the level of safety associated with each individual 
  share because it indicates the amount of money that a shareholder 
  would get if the Group were to liquidate. Management believes that 
  net asset value per share can assist securities analysts, investors 
  and other parties to evaluate the Group. 
 
  Net asset value per share and similar measures are used by different 
  companies for differing purposes and are often calculated in ways 
  that reflect the circumstances of those companies. Accordingly, 
  caution is required in comparing net asset value per share as reported 
  by the Group to net asset value per share of other companies. 
 
 
  Average revenue per operating rig 
 
  ARPOR is a non-financial measure defined as the average drilling 
  specific revenue for the period divided by the monthly average 
  active operating rigs. Drilling specific revenue excludes revenue 
  generated from shot crew, a blast hole service that does not require 
  a rig to perform but forms part of drilling. Management uses this 
  indicator to assess the operational performance across the board 
  on a period by period basis even if there is an increase or decrease 
  in rig utilisation.
