Review of Operations
Galaxy Resources Limited, Investment Asset
Galaxy's Mt Cattlin Mine in Western Australia.
Galaxy Resources Limited ("Galaxy") is a Western Australian S&P / ASX 300 Index company which plans to become one of the world's leading producers of lithium compounds - the essential components of rechargeable batteries for powering manufactured products like the world's fast expanding fleet of hybrid and electric cars. Galaxy's Mt Cattlin mine plans to be the world's second largest producer of lithium mineral concentrate globally, and through the development of its 17,000 tpa lithium carbonate plant in Jiangsu province, Galaxy expects to be one of the largest lithium compound producers in China. Lithium compounds such as lithium carbonate are forecast to be in short supply against high future demand due to advances in long life batteries and their use in sophisticated electronics including mobile phones and computers. Galaxy has positioned itself to meet this lithium demand through vertical integration, by not only mining the lithium, but also by downstream processing to supply lithium carbonate to the expanding Asian market. Galaxy is also positioning itself for growth via mergers and acquisitions and in line with this completed the merger with Lithium One of Canada early in the period.
The Company's shareholding in Galaxy at the start of the half-year was 38,091,616 shares or 10.56% of issued shares. During the term the company made the decision to sell up to 1,000,000 Galaxy shares to fund operations until the completion of the tenement sale transaction. To date the company has affected the sale of 506,704 shares. The company shareholding in Galaxy Resources now stands at 37,584,912 shares or 6.43% of issued shares. Substantial changes in the companies percentage of total issued shares has occurred throughout the year due to Galaxy's various placements completed during the period but had no effect on the number so shares held by the company. CRHL still retains 2 director positions on Galaxy's board.
The market value of the Company's investment in Galaxy has dropped during the half-year. The fair value for the investment in Galaxy Resources Limited based on the Australian Stock Exchange share price at 31 December 2012 is $14,846,040 (30 June 2012: $22,283,595).
Galaxy's Jiangsu Lithium Carbonate Project in Jiangsu, PRC.
Galaxy Jiangsu is 100% owned by Galaxy and is intended to provide lithium to the China market as well as internationally to address the increasing demand for green energy. The Jiangsu plant has continued to progress with its twelve month ramping process to full production. During the period a serious incident occurred at the Jiangsu plant which caused the plant to be shut down for investigation, rectification and re-commissioning. The plant is expected to be back in operation by early March 2013.
Galaxy's Sal De Vida Project
Sal De Vida was acquired through the Lithium One merger and is a lithium brine deposit located in Argentina in the Lithium Triangle in South America. Work has commenced on this project and is expected to be a source of high grade low cost lithium for the company and will become the company's flagship deposit.
Galaxy's Mt Cattlin Project
On the 12(th) July, the company announced a temporary closure of the Mt Cattlin operations in Western Australia due to high levels of internal stockpiles. The operations are to be shut down on a temporary basis until the Jiangsu plant is operating at full capacity and reduces existing stockpiles at which time Mt Cattlin will recommence operations.
Mineral Assets, Zeehan, Western Tasmania
Exploration Activities
During the half year, the company entered into an agreement to sell all of its Tasmanian mineral interests to Australian Hualong Pty Ltd. These interests consist of four exploration licences and three retention licences;
Exploration Licences Retention Licences EL18/2003 RL1/2008 EL20/2002 RL3/2009 EL21/2004 RL4/2009
EL30/2002
At an Extraordinary General Meeting of the members all resolutions relating to the sale of the tenements was passed. The company has since taken the necessary steps to progress the deal which is expected to be finalised in or shortly after the first quarter of 2013.
The company continues to maintain the licences and meet its commitments with regard to exploration and rehabilitation.
Proposed sale of the Company's mining assets
On 17 October 2012, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary ZZ Exploration Pty Limited, entered into a conditional agreement with an unrelated third party to dispose of all the existing mining assets, including all exploration and retention licences currently held by the Group in Tasmania, Australia together with all associated plant and equipment for a total consideration of AUD $4million in cash. All commitments and obligations attaching to the licences, including the decommissioning and rehabilitation provision, transfer with the mining assets.
Events Subsequent to Balance Date
Proposed sale of the Company's mining assets
The sale of mining tenements was finalised on 21 December 2012 pending ministerial approval. Approval is expected in or shortly after the first quarter of 2013.
Auditor's Independence Declaration
The auditor's independence declaration, as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, is included on page 16 of the half-year report.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to s.306(3) of the Corporations Act 2001.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of Compliance
The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report and the public announcements made during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Basis of Preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company's 2012 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
New and revised Standards
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2012. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors
During the half year ended 31 December 2012, an assessment of the terms and valuation methodology of convertible notes on maturity resulted in a reclassification of these liabilities between unsecured convertible notes and Loans from related party: secured and unsecured.
The reclassification was retrospective and as such the prior period comparatives presented the Company show a balance of unsecured convertible notes of $4,482 thousand and loans from related party: secured and unsecured of $35,991 thousand at 30 June 2012. The reassessment had the effect of overstating debt by $4,157 thousand for the year ended 30 June 2012 and overstating finance costs by $888 thousand for the half year ended 31 December 2011.
In accordance with the requirements of AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, the Company has not presented a third statement of financial position which would otherwise be required by AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

==================== ======================= =====================
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
In line with the consolidated entity's revised investment policy and the disposal of the tenement package in Western Tasmania the company has substantially reduced its ongoing expenditure. It expects to continue to incur losses for at least the next 12 months. The consolidated entity will finance its operations primarily through cash and cash equivalents on hand, future financing from the issuance of debt or equity instruments and through the generation of revenues once a commercially viable operation is identified. However, the consolidated entity has yet to generate any significant revenues and has no assurance of future revenues.
As disclosed in note 6, the Company has entered into an agreement to dispose of all the existing mining assets currently held in Tasmania, together with all associated plant and equipment, for a total consideration of AUD $4 million in cash. The sale is currently awaiting ministerial approval which is expected to be finalised in or shortly after the first quarter of 2013.
On 15 March 2013 the Company received an undertaking from Creat Group in that, for the purposes of assisting the company to achieve its working capital forecast to 30 June 2014:
-- Creat Group will continue to provide further funding to CRHL as required with interest rates based on market interest rates; and
-- Creat Group will not call for or cause repayment of any loans or convertible notes, including the payment of accrued interest on such loans or convertible notes, held by Creat Group at 31 December 2012 or entered/acquired by Creat Group subsequent to that date, and interest that will be due and payable on such loans or convertible notes through to 30 June 2014.
At the date of this report and having considered the above factors, the directors are confident that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern.
Note 2: Segment Information
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Company that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The chief decision maker of the company is its Board of Directors, and the system of internal reporting is such that there is only one reportable segment under AASB 8.

Two cash advance facilities are in place and have an interest rate of 0%. At 31 December 2012, $100,000 of a $400,000 facility was still available to the company.
(ii) Six unsecured convertible notes were due to mature in February 2013 and have interest rates of 6%.
The above unsecured convertible notes and unsecured loans are covered by a letter of financial support from Creat Group (refer Note 1).
