Outlook

-- Trading conditions continue to be supportive, continued strength in commodity prices & capital markets activities

-- Economic indicators remain favourable, driving recent strong performance in industrial metal prices, particularly copper

-- Increased levels of activity in exploration drilling, across both the juniors and more recently in budget allocations from mining companies

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

-- Legislative developments in Tanzania contribute uncertainty to the outlook and will continue to be monitored closely

-- Enhanced discipline in capital expenditure and solid cash flows from operations underpin the Group's strong balance sheet; advanced negotiations are underway for debt refinance, with two credit approvals received

In view of a conclusion of drilling activities in Serbia, four months ahead of expectations, and a slight easing in delineation drilling activities in Tanzania, the Group now guides for full year revenue at the lower end of previous revenue guidance of $120 million to $130 million. Despite the more cautious revenue guidance we continue to expect profitability in line with current market estimates. Enhanced working capital management and discipline around Group CAPEX has driven a materially stronger than anticipated performance in cash generation over H1 2017. As a result of asset redeployment within the Group we expect this capital disciple to continue to be a strong contributor over the course of 2017.

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

"Capital Drilling's improved performance, which saw a return to profitability in the first half of 2017, was driven primarily by increasing rig utilisation, with H1 2017 utilisation of 56% representing a 40% increase on H1 2016. The improved utilisation, coupled with a 9% increase in ARPOR, drove revenue growth of 49% over the first half of 2016.

The improved revenue and profit for the Group reflects a solid performance across the core contracts, underpinned by the improved market conditions which started firming in late Q2 2016. While the initial uplift in activity was associated with predominantly gold and speciality metals companies, this has broadened over H1 2017 with an improving outlook in industrial metals, particularly copper. Capital markets activities continue to provide solid support to activity levels underpinning expenditure by junior miners and explorers, while we have seen the initial evidence of increased exploration and development expenditure from the established mining companies.

We are particularly encouraged by the award of two new long term production / mine site contracts, specifically grade control drilling at the Tasiast Mine in Mauritania and underground drilling at the Syama Mine in Mali. The addition of these two contracts, both at existing Capital Drilling sites, adds depth to the Group's portfolio of long term contracts and demonstrate Capital Drilling's success in expanding our range of drilling services to our customers.

Recent legislative changes in Tanzania are concerning and clearly creating uncertainty. While we expect a reduction in delineation drilling at the Geita Gold Mine in H2 2017, there has been no impact to activity levels on the Group's production drilling contracts at the North Mara and Geita Gold mines. The uncertainty is however having a material impact on exploration activity within the country and is likely to continue to impact investment decisions for the foreseeable future. The lack of exploration activity is consistent with Capital Drilling's guidance. As we have previously stated we will continue to monitor developments closely and keep our investors updated on any further developments.

We remain in excellent financial health, generating solid free cash flow over the period. This strong cash generation, coupled with enhanced discipline around capital expenditure, has seen the Group end the period with net cash of $3.3 million. As consequence of this strong performance we have today declared an interim dividend of 0.5cps for the H1 2017 period, payable on October 6, 2017."

Capital Drilling will host a conference call on Thursday 17 August at 9am (London, UK time) to update investors and analysts on its results.

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, which remain unchanged from those disclosed in our Prospectus. 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. Nothing in the report should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy or sell Capital Drilling securities.

INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO 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 2017 which comprises the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity, the cash flow statement and related notes 8 to 21. 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 Company 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 2017 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 2017 
 
 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 2017 (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 2016 
       which have been prepared in accordance with International 
       Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued 
       by the International Accounting Standards Board 
       ("IASB"). 
 
      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 
       2017, which were described in note 2 of the consolidated 
       financial statements for the year ended 31 December 
       2016. 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 2016, except for 
       income tax expense which is recognised based on 
       the management's estimate of the weighted average 
       effective annual tax rate expected for the full 
       financial year. 
      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 2017, the Group 
       provided drilling services in Botswana, Serbia, 
       Egypt, Mauritania, Mali and Tanzania. 
      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 2017 
 
 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

 6.   Property, plant and equipment 
 
 
 
           During the six months ended 30 June 2017, the Group 
            acquired $4.2 million (2016: $4.1 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 $0.5 million (2016: 
            $0.6 million) during the period. A loss of $0.1 
            million (2016: $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 2017, the market 
            capitalisation exceeded the net asset value and 
            there were no other indicators of impairment. 
 
  7.       Investment in associate 
 
           During the six months ended 30 June 2017, the Group 
            acquired a 33% interest in A2 Global Ventures Inc. 
            ("A2"), as part of a phased strategic investment 
            to acquire 50% interest before the end of December 
            2017. A2 is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, 
            where it operates a central hub laboratory, supported 
            by feeder laboratories in Guyana, Myanmar and Sweden, 
            providing laboratory testing services to the mining 
            and exploration industries, particularly in emerging 
            markets. The consideration for the acquisition was 
            $1.9 million including transaction costs. The investment 
            in A2, has been accounted on the historical cost 
            basis as A2's financial information is not available.

  11.         Segmental analysis 
 
              Operating segments are identified on the basis 
               of internal management reports about components 
               of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the 
               Chief Executive Officer in order to allocate resources 
               to the segments and to assess their performance. 
               Information reported to the Group's Chief Executive 
               Officer for the purposes of resource allocation 
               and assessment of segment performance is focused 
               on the region of operation. For the purposes of 
               the segmental report, the information on the operating 
               segments have been aggregated into the principal 
               regions of operations of the Group. The Group's 
               reportable segments under IFRS 8 are therefore: 
 
               - Africa:              Derives revenue from the provision of 
                                       drilling services. 
               - Rest                 Derives revenue from the provision of 
               of world:               drilling services and related logistic, 
                                       equipment rental and information technology 
                                       support services. 
 
              Information regarding the Group's operating segments 
               is reported below. At 30 June 2017, management 
               reviewed the composition of the Group's operating 
               segments and the allocations of operations to the 
               reportable segments.

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

 14.    Events post the reporting date 
 
  Amendments and changes to the Tanzania Mining 
   Act of 2010: 
   The Tanzanian Parliament passed SPECIAL BILL SUPPLEMENT 
   No2, No3 & No4 on the 28 of June 2017. The legislative 
   changes were Gazetted on the 7 of July 2017, resulting 
   in the changes being effective from this date. 
 
   Although the new legislation has significant impact 
   on mineral right holders, it does impact on Capital 
   Drilling as a service provider to the mineral 
   right holders. Included in the Legislative changes 
   are additional legislation to the current Mining 
   Act of 2010, with specific reference to the additional 
   PART VIII (LOCAL CONTENT, CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 
   & INTEGRITY PLEDGE). Clause 102 of the additional 
   Part legislate Provision of goods & services by 
   Tanzania entrepreneurs. Mineral right holders 
   shall give preference to goods or services produced 
   or available in Tanzania. Where goods or services 
   are not available in Tanzania a Joint Venture 
   shall be established with 25% shareholding from 
   a local Tanzania company. Clause 102(9) defines 
   a local Tanzania company as a company incorporated 
   under the Tanzanian Companies Act, with 100% shareholding 
   by Tanzanian citizens, or a company in a joint 
   venture partnership with Tanzanian citizens with 
   shareholding of not less than 51%. 
 
   Capital Drilling is currently engaged with advisors 
   in Tanzania to determine the practical application 
   of this clause.

 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL 
 STATEMENTS 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2017 
 
 
 
 
 14.   Events post the reporting date (Continue) 
 
       Interim dividend declared: 
        The directors proposed that an interim dividend 
        of 0.5 cent per share be paid to shareholders on 
        6 October 2017. 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 8 September 2017. The total estimated 
        interim dividend to be paid is $0.7 million (2016: 
        $2 million). The payment of this dividend will 
        have no tax consequences for the Group. 
 
 15.   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. 
 
 16.   Financial instruments 
 
       Financial instruments that are measured in the 
        consolidated statement of financial position or 
        disclosed at fair value require disclosure of fair 
        value measurements by level based on the following 
        fair value measurement hierarchy: 
 
       --                     Level                                quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets 
                               1:                                   for identical assets or liabilities; 
       --                     Level                                inputs other than quoted prices included 
                               2:                                  within level 1 that are observable for the 
                                                                   asset or liability, either directly (that 
                                                                   is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived 
                                                                   from prices); and 
       --                     Level                                inputs for the asset or liability that are 
                               3:                                   not based on observable market data (that 
                                                                    is, unobservable inputs). 
 
       The Group's available-for-sale financial assets, 
        with a fair value of $1.9 million (31 December 
        2016: $0.9 million) are listed equity securities 
        in the mining industry that measured at fair value 
        at the end of each reporting period. The available-for-sale 
        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, with 
        a fair value of $0.3 million (31 December 2016: 
        $0.4 million) are options and warrants to acquire 
        shares in listed equity securities that are not 
        traded in an active market. The held-for-trading 
        financials assets are designated as level 3 in 
        the fair value hierarchy. Their fair value is determined 
        using a binomial 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.

 EBITDA 
 
 EBITDA represents profit or loss for the period 
  before interest, income taxes, depreciation and 
  amortisation adjusted for share of income (loss) 
  from associate, interest income, finance charge, 
  fair value adjustment on financial assets at fair 
  value through profit and loss and realised gain 
  (loss) on available-for-sale shares. 
 
  EBITDA is non-IFRS financial measure 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 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 charge, fair value adjustment 
  on financial assets at fair value through profit 
  and loss and realised gain (loss) on available-for-sale 
  shares, which may significantly affect comparability 
  of results of operations between periods. 
 
  (iii) 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 than 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.
