CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 20136
Dear shareholders
2013 proved to be an extremely challenging year for Capital Drilling, reflecting the significantly weaker conditions in the mining industry and the resulting impact on the mining services industry. Weaker commodity prices coupled with new management teams across many mining companies, with their focus on cost reduction and increased discipline around capital allocation, led to a material reduction in drilling activity, particularly across exploration and development drilling. Industry utilisation was hit particularly hard and Capital Drilling was impacted accordingly. The second half of the year recorded the lowest rig utilisation in the group’s history, albeit we continued to operate at above industry levels for the period.
Against this weaker demand environment the management team at Capital Drilling delivered substantial cost reductions and implemented a number of structural changes to the businesses. over the year we reduced our workforce by approximately 500 people, finishing 2013 with 834 employees. Actions were taken to reduce our infrastructure in a number of countries and the decision was taken by management to withdraw from the energy business, allowing us to focus on our core mineral drilling business and expand our presence in production drilling. While these initiatives came at a cost of approximately $3.5 million, they have positioned the group well for the future and assisted in the delivery of robust cash flows during a very challenging period.
Capital Drilling delivered revenue of $116.3 million, a decrease of 27% on 2012. The revenue decrease was particularly significant in the second half of the year. First half revenue was down 8% on the previous corresponding period while second half revenue was down 45% on the previous corresponding period. Full year EBITDA decreased by 54% to $17.0 million, while the impact of depreciation on the enlarged asset base lead to a loss of $1.9 million for 2013.
The group did however benefit from the substantial capital investment in preceding years which allowed for a significantly reduced capital expenditure program in 2013, while maintaining a fleet age of approximately 4 years. The reduced capital spend and the early benefits of the group’s continuing cost reduction programmes have delivered positive operating cash flows for the Company and high levels of cash conversion, with period end net debt to equity of 9.9% against 21.4% for the period end 2012; an
outstanding result considering the substantial headwinds faced over the year. The group also continued to generate strong operational cash flows in the most challenging market conditions in recent times, with net cash from operating activities of $15.0 million compared to $24.3 million for the prior year, despite the reduction in revenue.
Significantly, the group was pleased to announce the award of a comprehensive 5 year contract with the geita gold Mine in Tanzania, operated by Anglogold Ashanti, where Capital Drilling has been active since 2007. The award represented a strong endorsement of our performance at this operation and continues the group’s strategic focus of securing more long term mining contracts to underpin the platform for future growth. Five new blast hole rigs were added to the fleet to service the contract, with full drilling commencing in January 2014. The Company has also successfully renewed the production drilling contract at Sukari gold Mine with Centamin running to 2018, covering the existing fleet of blast hole and grade control rigs. As a result of these contract wins, the Company commenced 2014 with a fleet of 95 rigs.
While the average fleet size increased 3% on 2012, the group purchased only 2 rigs in 2013, for existing underground and blast hole contracts. We continue to operate and own a fleet of rigs averaging approximately 4 years of age remaining one of the youngest in the Industry, with sufficient available capacity for future work in exploration and development drilling when market conditions improve.

Figure 2: Rig Utilitisation
Figure 3: ARPoR
Utilisation
Rig utilisation for the group softened in 2013, reducing from 76% for 2012 to 55% for the year. The weakness was particularly pronounced in the second half with utilisation of 46%, the lowest levels recorded in the Company’s history. While the environment remains challenging it was an encouraging sign that utilisation was steady into the fourth quarter of the year.
The group’s final revenue KPI, Average Revenue per operating Rig, performed well when put in perspective against other metrics, averaging $179,000 for 2013 (2012: $192,000). The weaker performance was impacted by lower drilling rates and more significantly inconsistent drilling activity from a number of clients.
heALTh AND sAfeTy
The group continues with its strong focus on a safety culture, supported by our Training and Development programs. We recorded an outstanding safety performance in 2013, with our key measure, the All Injury Frequency (days free) Rate (AIFR), reducing from 1.82 to 0.70 injury related incidents per 200,000 man hours. Project milestones in 2013 for Lost Time Injuries (LTI’s) include:
• Solomon Islands – gold Ridge 500 days (February 2013)• ghana - Chirano 500 days (February 2013)• Zambia - Lumwana 2,000 days (May 2013)• Tanzania – North Mara 500 days (November 2013)• Mauritania – Kinross Tasiast 1,000 days (November 2013)
ouTLook
Although we are seeing some signs of improved sentiment and increased tender enquiries, the operating environment remains volatile. We have however entered 2014 in a strong financial position with solid cash being generated from operating activities, a reduced fixed operating cost base, a conservatively geared balance sheet and importantly two long term production based contracts which provide greater revenue stability and visibility to the group. Production drilling contracts are now expected to generate over 50% of total revenue for the group in 2014, consistent with the group’s strategy.
We announced the award of a comprehensive 5 year production drilling contract at the geita gold Mine in Tanzania in october 2013 and we are pleased to report that the contract has begun well, with all rigs commencing in January 2014 and production steadily increasing since drilling commenced. We have also had recent success with existing clients, namely the contract renewal for diamond and reverse circulation drilling with MMg Limited in Tanzania and the award of a further 5 year production drilling contract with Centamin in Egypt.
our capital investment programme which was implemented before the downturn has set the Company up with an impressive young fleet and although headwinds remain in the industry we are confident that we are well placed to benefit as the conditions in the market improve.
I once again would like to take this opportunity to thank all employees, business partners, shareholders, our Board of Directors and all stakeholders for their continued support.

CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 20138
The 2013 financial year was distinctly a year of two halves. The first half of the year saw the group deliver a robust performance under some very difficult market conditions, while the second half of the year saw a material deterioration in our revenue base as clients further reduced activity levels. Total revenues for the year were $116.3 million, a 27% fall year-on-year. The group continued to generate strong operational cash flows in the face of this sharp revenue decline, which confirmed the effectiveness of the cost reduction measures that had been implemented by management to cope with the sharp deterioration in market conditions.
The third quarter experienced the sharpest decline in revenue with conditions moderating and recovering slightly in the fourth quarter. The group has maintained a high focus on cost management for the year, reducing the fixed cost element of the group’s cost base. The major highlights of the cost reduction exercises include:
• A significant reduction in headcount to match the activity levels. As at 31 December 2013, the group had a total headcount of 834 which represents a reduction of c.500 employees during the period;
• Restructuring of employment contracts to align their duration to the contracted duration of drilling programmes and converting a proportion of the labour force from fixed salaries to day rate based remuneration. This allows the employment cost to vary in line with activity;
• Introduction of outsourced facilities with contracts aligned to the duration of drilling contracts, therefore increasing the variability of the cost of accommodating the labour force at sites;
• Closure of non-core offices and sites; and
• A thorough review of all cost policies across the group including communications, travel and equipment rental.
The group incurred approximately $3.5 million in restructuring costs over the year, in order to achieve some of the cost savings coming from the structural changes mentioned above. Some of these measures started delivering benefits in the second half as demonstrated by the strong operational cash flow generated in the second half of the year, despite the significantly weaker revenue profile. This contributed to the strength of the balance sheet and the improving debt profile for the group. The group moves into 2014 with a strong balance sheet and conservative debt levels with a net gearing ratio (net debt/equity) of 9.9% (2012: 21.4%) and significant unutilised debt facilities providing flexibility. Net equity decreased marginally to $91.5 million.
sTATemeNT of ComPReheNsIve INCome
The group achieved revenues of $116.3 million which is a 27% fall year-on-year, due to the abrupt conclusions of some drilling programmes. The average utilisation was 55% of the fleet (2012: 76%) with an ARPoR of $179,000 (2012: $192,000). It is important to note that despite utilisation
dropping to below 50% in some months of the second half the overall ARPoR held up quite well due to better control and rig management. We start 2014 working on two long term production based contracts which provide a stable base for future growth of the group.
The result of the lower revenue was a deterioration in all the major profitability ratios, the gross profit margin for the year decreased to 26% (2012: 33%), this translated to an EBIT loss of $0.2 million (2012: $20.9 million EBIT profit). The loss for the year was $1.9 million.
The loss per share for the year was 1.4c compared to earnings per share of 10.5c in the comparative period. The weighted average number of shares remained unchanged at 134,592,800.
statement of Comprehensive Income (summary)
sTATemeNT of fINANCIAL PosITIoN
As at 31 December 2013, the Statement of Financial Position showed continued strength and improvement with a $2.7 million release of working capital as shown in the reduction of current assets for the group. This is largely due to improved accounts receivable collections and normal working capital release.
In addition to the working capital release the group also reduced its overall liability position mainly through the repayment of the group’s debt facilities, particularly in the first half.

CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 9
In line with the significantly reduced investment in capital expenditure in the year and a modest change in the size of the drilling fleet to 91 rigs (increase YoY of 3%), the net property, plant and equipment of the business decreased by 19% to $60.0 million.
Net debt decreased by $10.9 million as a significant portion of the cash generated was applied to debt reduction.
The group continued to generate strong operational cash flows despite the revenue reductions which was confirmation of the effectiveness of the cost reduction programmes carried out during the course of the year. This is evident in that second half operational cash flows were equal to first half operational cash flows despite the second half revenues being 40% lower.
gross cash used in investing activities was $5.7 million (net $4.3 million) on the back of a modest growth in the drilling fleet, with the only rigs additions being made to replace contracted for revenue generating rigs early in the year. operating capital expenditure was lower on account of the lower rig utilisation.
Cash used in financing activities was $7.7 million, being repayment of debt.
The group’s cash position at year end was $12.3 million and total debt decreased to $21.4 million (2012: $29.1 million)
The net debt position of the business was $9 million (2012: $20 million) and, as a result, net gearing (net debt/equity) was 9.9% (2012: 21.4%).
A reconciliation of the movement in the net cash position is found below.
TReAsuRy AND RIsk mANAGemeNT
The group operates under standard finance procedures with a centralised treasury function. As a result, the majority of receivables are centrally received to mitigate any in country cash risk and therefore cash and cash flow is managed by Head office.
The group does not undertake any formal currency hedging, though it endeavours to increase the percentage of all transactions in USD denominations as an informal hedge. During the financial year under review there have been some changes in monetary regulations in some jurisdictions in which we operate which adds a delay in the timing of receiving funds in the group’s Head office bank accounts. The policy of pooling all of the group’s cash balances in accounts at Head office remains unchanged.
CRITICAL ACCouNTING PoLICIes
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The principal accounting standards are set out in the group’s financial statements.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and are presented in USD, given the groups transactions are primarily denominated in US dollars.
PRoPeRTy, PLANT AND equIPmeNT
The group depreciates all fixed assets over their estimated useful lives, less any pre-agreed salvage value. The carrying value of fixed assets are reviewed annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs.
TAxATIoN
A deferred tax asset and liability is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position. group has tax losses carried forward of $20.5 million (2012: $10.3 million) with a tax value of $5.9 million (2012: $2.9 million) available for offset against future profits. A deferred tax asset has been recognised to the value of $2.8 million (2012: $0.2 million) in respect of such losses. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of the remaining tax losses amounting to $10.7 million (2012: $8.8 million) with a tax value of $3.1 million (2012: $2.7 million) as there is uncertainty whether there will be sufficient future taxable profits available to offset these losses. These losses may be carried forward up to five years or indefinitely depending on the jurisdiction.

CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 201310
PRImARy RIsks
The group operates in environments that pose various risks and uncertainties. The primary risks associated with the business are:
fLuCTuATIoN IN LeveLs ofmINeRAL exPLoRATIoN
The group is highly dependent on the levels of mineral exploration, development and production activity within the markets in which it operates. A reduction in exploration, development and production activities, or in the budgeted expenditure of mining and mineral exploration companies, will cause a decline in the demand for drilling rigs and drilling services, as was evident in the 2013 financial year.
key PeRsoNNeL AND sTAff ReTeNTIoN
The group’s ability to implement a strategy of pursuing expansion opportunities is dependent on the efforts and abilities of its executive directors and senior managers. In addition, the group’s operations depend, in part, upon the continued services of certain key employees. If the group loses the services of any of its existing key personnel without timely and suitable replacements, or is unable to attract and retain new personnel with suitable experience as it grows, the group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, business may be lost to competitors which members of senior management may join after leaving their positions with the group.
CuRReNCy fLuCTuATIoNs
The group receives the majority of its revenues in US dollars. However, some of the group’s costs are in other currencies in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Foreign currency fluctuations and exchange rate risks between the value of the US dollar and the value of other currencies may increase the cost of the group’s operations and could adversely affect the financial results. As a result, the group is exposed to currency fluctuations and exchange rate risks. To minimise the group’s risk, the group tries to match the currency of operating costs with the currency of revenue.
oPeRATING RIsks
operations are subject to various risks associated with drilling including, in the case of employees, personal injury and loss of life and, in the group’s case, damage and destruction to property and equipment, release of hazardous substances into the environment and interruption or suspension of drill site operations due to unsafe drill operations. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely impact the group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, lead to legal proceedings and damage the group’s reputation. In particular, clients are placing an increasing focus on occupational health and safety, and deterioration in the group’s safety record may result in the loss of key clients.
busINess INTeRRuPTIoNs ANDWeATheR CoNDITIoNs
Significant business interruptions as a result of natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, unstable drilling sites, regulatory intervention, delays in necessary approvals and permits or delays in supplies, may reduce the group’s ability to complete drilling services, resulting in performance delays, increased costs and loss of revenue.
As operations are conducted outdoors, they are generally vulnerable to weather and environmental conditions. The group operates in a variety of locations, some of which are prone to extreme weather conditions. High rainfall can significantly impact drilling activity, as well as impede the ability to move drilling rigs between drill sites. Accordingly, weather conditions as well as natural disasters may adversely impact the financial performance of the group.

CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 11
GoING CoNCeRN bAsIs
The group’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Chairman and Chief Executive’s Review as well as this Chief Financial officer’s Report. The financial position of the group, its cash flows and liquidity position are also described in pages 8 to 9 of the annual report.
As highlighted in note 19 to the annual financial statements, the group has borrowings and a debt facility which, together with its clients’ receipts, fund its day to day working capital requirements. Volatile economic conditions may on occasion create uncertainty particularly over (a) the level of demand for the group’s services; (b) exchange rate fluctuations against the US Dollar and the consequent effect on 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, current facilities and related covenants. The group has held discussions with its bankers about its future borrowing needs and no matters have been drawn to its attention to suggest that these needs may not be met on acceptable terms.
The directors have reviewed the overall group strategy, the budget for 2014, considered the assumptions contained in the budget and reviewed the critical risks which may impact the group’s performance. After making such enquiries, the directors believe that the Company and the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.
ResPoNsIbILITy sTATemeNT
The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and give a true and accurate reflection of the operating result, cash position and Statement of Financial Position at31 December 2013.
The Directors further confirm that to the best of their knowledge that the annual report and financial statements, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the company’s performance, business model and strategy.
CAuTIoNARy sTATemeNT
This Business Review, which comprises the Chairman’s Statement, Chief Executive officer’s Review and Chief Financial officer’s Report, has been prepared solely to provide additional information to shareholders to assess the group’s strategies and the potential for those strategies to succeed.
The Business Review contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements are made by the directors in good faith based on the information available to them up to the time of their approval of this report and such statements should be treated with caution due to the inherent uncertainties, including both economic and business risk factors, underlying any such forward-looking information.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 201316
Capital Drilling recognises the value and importance of high standards of corporate governance and has put in place a
framework appropriate for a smaller quoted company to ensure that such standards are met. The Company is subject to the
UK Corporate Governance Code which was issued in September 2012 by the Financial Reporting Council (the “Code’). The
Company falls outside the FTSE 350 Share Index and is considered a “smaller quoted company”.
This section of our annual report sets out how the Company has applied the Code in 2013. The Code is available at
www.frc.org.uk. Details of the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures (including the terms of reference
of each of its corporate governance committees) can be found on the governance page of the Company’s website at www.
capdrill.com.
Statement of compliance with the Code
During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Company has been in compliance with the Code except as explained below.
The Code recommends that at least half the board, excluding the chairman, should comprise of independent non-executive
directors. The Code recommends that for smaller quoted companies the board should have at least two independent non-
executive directors. The Board considers that Alex Davidson and Tim Read are independent, and so the Company satisfi es
the requirements of the Code for smaller quoted companies. The Board does not consider Craig Burton to be independent
because of his historic ties and his signifi cant shareholding in the Company.
The Code also recommends that the Chairman of the Board should be independent. The directors do not consider Jamie
Boyton to be independent because of his historic ties with the Company, his employment with the Company and his
signifi cant shareholding in the Company and so the Company will not satisfy this requirement of the Code. However, in view
of his knowledge of the Company and specifi c strategic role within the Company, the Board considers it appropriate at this
stage, to maintain Jamie Boyton as Chairman. In addition, the Company has appointed a senior independent director (as
described below) to be available to address any queries or concerns from shareholders.
The Code also recommends that the Board should appoint one of its independent non-executive directors to be the senior
independent director. The senior independent director should be available to shareholders if they have concerns that contact
through the normal channels of chairman, chief executive offi cer or chief fi nancial offi cer has failed to resolve or for which such
contact is inappropriate. The Company’s senior independent director is Tim Read.
In accordance with the Code, the Company has established guidelines requiring specifi c matters to be subject to a decision
by a majority of the full Board including material acquisitions and disposals, investments and capital projects.
The Code recommends that a UK listed company should establish an audit committee, a remuneration committee and a
nomination committee. The Company has each of these committees, the terms of reference of which are described in further
detail below. In view of the Company’s commitment to health and safety and its desire to minimise the environment impact of
the business, the Board has also established a Health, Safety, Social and Environmental Committee (“HSSE”) , details of which
are set out below.
Board of directors
The Board comprises:
Executive Directors:Jamie Boyton – Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer (acting as interim Chief Executive until a permanent Chief
Executive has been found)
Brian Rudd – Executive Director
Non-Executive Directors:Tim Read – Senior Independent Director
Alex Davidson – Independent Director
Craig Burton – Non-Independent Director
The executive and non-executive directors are satisfi ed that the Company operates an effective board which is collectively
responsible for the success of the Company. Together, the executive and non-executive directors bring a broad range of
business, commercial and other relevant experience to the Board, which is vital to the management of an expanding company.
(Pages 12 and 13 contains descriptions of the background of each director).

disclosed to the Board.
The number of Board and Committee meetings eligible for attendance and attended by each of the directors during the year

On appointment, and throughout their tenure, directors receive appropriate training and regular presentations are made to the
Board by senior management and external advisers.
All directors are authorised to obtain, at the Company’s expense and subject to the Executive Chairman’s approval,
independent legal or other professional advice where they consider it necessary. All directors have access to the Company
Secretary, who oversees their ongoing training and development needs.
Election and re-election of directors
The Company’s Bye-Laws contains detailed rules for the appointment and retirement of directors. There is a formal procedure
in place to select and appoint new directors to the Board. The directors are required to retire at the next AGM, but can
offer themselves for re-election by shareholders. All directors are required to submit themselves for re-election at intervals not
exceeding three years.
The Board annually evaluates the performance of individual directors, the Board as a whole and its Committees. The
evaluation comprises structured interviews led by the Executive Chairman and the Senior Independent Director with the other
directors. The performance of the executive and non-executive directors was appraised by the Executive Chairman, taking into
account the views of the other directors. Led by the Senior Independent Director, the performance of the Executive Chairman
was assessed by the non-executive directors, taking into account the views of the other executive directors.
Operation of the Board
The Board meets regularly and fi ve meetings (including the Board meeting held in February 2014) were held in 2013. All
directors are supplied, in advance of meetings, with appropriate information covering matters which are to be considered. The
Executive Chairman also met with the non-executive directors in the absence of the other executive directors.
There is a formal schedule of decisions reserved for the Board. This includes approval of the following: the Group’s strategy;
the annual operating plan and budget; the annual and interim fi nancial statements; signifi cant transactions; major capital
expenditures; risk management policies; the authority levels vested in management; Board appointments; and remuneration
policies. As described below, the review of certain matters is delegated to Board Committees, which make recommendations
to the Board in relation to those matters reserved for the Board as a whole.

Audit and Risk Committee
The Audit and Risk Committee comprises Tim Read (chairman), Alex Davidson and Craig Burton.
The profi les of the Audit and Risk Committee members are on pages 12 and 13 and are considered to have recent and
relevant fi nancial experience. The Committee met four times in 2013 and one time in 2014, and had met the external auditors
separately on three occasions.
The Committee may, from time to time, invite the Company’s Chief Executive Offi cer and Chief Financial Offi cer to attend its
meetings.
The Code recommends that smaller quoted companies have two independent non-executive directors appointed to the Audit
and Risk Committee. Tim Read and Alex Davidson are independent non-executive directors and therefore the Company
complies with the Code for smaller quoted companies.
The Audit and Risk Committee is primarily concerned with the effectiveness of the Company’s accounting policies and
practices, fi nancial reporting and internal controls. It is among other things responsible for:
(i) monitoring the integrity of fi nancial statements, including reviewing the fi nancial statements and signifi cant fi nancial

ethics;

(vii) approving all audit and non-audit services;
(viii) reviewing policies and procedures with respect to internal accounting and fi nancial controls; and

In 2013, the Audit and Risk Committee:
(i) reviewed the 2013 half-year report and the 2013 annual report and fi nancial statements, in advance of their
consideration by the Board, and considered the appropriateness and consistency of application of accounting
policies adopted in their preparation and the basis of any major judgements and estimates. As part of this review,
the Audit and Risk Committee received a report from the external auditors on their review of the 2013 interim fi nancial
statements and their audit of the 2013 annual fi nancial statements;
(ii) reviewed proposed changes to the Group’s internal controls;
(iii) received a report from the external auditors on, and considered the effectiveness of, the Group’s accounting and
internal control systems and monitored the actions taken by management in response;
(iv) considered and agreed the scope of the review to be undertaken by the external auditors on the 2013 half-year report
and 2013 annual report;
(v) agreed the fees to be paid to the external auditors for the review of the 2013 interim fi nancial statements and for the

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 19
The chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee reported to the Board on its activities after each meeting, identifying relevant
matters requiring communication to the Board and recommendations on the steps to be taken.
External auditors
The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board, to be put to shareholders at the
Annual General Meeting, in relation to the appointment, re-appointment and removal of the external auditors, as well as for
the approval of their remuneration and their terms of engagement. Deloitte & Touche have been the Group’s external auditors
since 2006. The Committee has considered the independence of the external auditors and is satisfi ed that independence
has been maintained. Following consideration and satisfaction of the performance of the Company’s auditors, the Audit and
Risk Committee has recommended to the Board that the external auditors be re-appointed. The Audit and Risk Committee
also pre-approves any material permitted non-audit engagements with the Group auditors (of which there were none during
the period under review). Regular reports were presented on the fees paid to the external auditors in order to ensure that
the relationship between non-audit fees and audit fees was not inappropriate. The Audit and Risk Committee reviewed the
external audit plan proposed by the auditors and participated in the review of the quality of the service that they provided. It
has also met privately with the external auditors during the year without senior executive management being present.
Internal auditors
The Company did not have a formal internal audit function for the fi nancial year under review. For the fi nancial year under
review, the Audit and Risk Committee, having considered the size, complexity of the operations as well as the existing internal
control environment, has not recommended the need for an internal audit function.
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee comprises Craig Burton (chairman), Tim Read and Alex Davidson.
In respect of smaller quoted companies, the Code recommends that a company’s remuneration committee has at least two
independent non-executive directors appointed. Tim Read and Alex Davidson are independent directors and therefore the
Company complies with the Code for smaller quoted companies.
The Remuneration Committee sets the remuneration packages for the directors, including basic salary, bonuses and other
incentivised compensation payments and awards. It ratifi es policy and framework proposals made by the executive directors
in respect of the remuneration for senior executives within the Group. The Remuneration Committee also approves the grant
of options under the 2010 Discretionary Share Option Plan. The Remuneration Committee is assisted by the Company
Secretary and takes advice as appropriate from external advisers. The Remuneration report is set out on pages 22 to 24.
Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee comprises Craig Burton (chairman), Tim Read and Alex Davidson.
The Code recommends that the majority of members of the nomination committee should be independent non-executive
directors. Tim Read and Alex Davidson are independent non-executive directors and therefore the Company complies with
the Code for smaller quoted companies. The Code also recommends that the Chairman or an independent non-executive
director chairs the nomination committee. Craig Burton, who is not considered independent, is chairman and so the Company
does not meet the requirements of the Code in this respect. However, in view of his experience and knowledge of the industry
sector and the Company, the Board considers it appropriate for Craig Burton to be a member and chairman of the Nomination
Committee.
The Nomination Committee deals with appointments to the Board, monitors potential confl icts of interest and reviews annually
the independence of the non-executive directors. The Nomination Committee is also responsible for proposing candidates for
appointment to the Board having regard to the balance and structure of the Board. The Nomination Committee is committed
to diversity while securing the best talent available. The Nomination Committee also continues to look to identify further non-
executive directors for appointment with the help of external search consultants to bring the composition of the Board in
compliance with the Code.

Health, Safety, Social and Environment Committee (the “HSSE Committee”)
The Health, Safety, Social and Environment (the “HSSE Committee”) comprises of Alex Davidson (chairman), and Brian Rudd.
The HSSE Committee is responsible for formulating and recommending to the Board a policy on health, safety, social and
environmental issues related to the Group’s operations. In particular, the HSSE Committee focuses on compliance with
applicable standards to ensure that an effective system of health, safety, social and environmental standards, procedures and
practices is in place at each of the Group’s operations. The HSSE Committee is also responsible for reviewing management’s
investigation of incidents or accidents that occur, to assess whether policy improvements are required. While the HSSE
Committee is expected to make recommendations, the ultimate responsibility for establishing the Group’s health, safety,
social and environmental policies remain with the Board. The terms of reference of the HSSE Committee are available on the
Company’s website at www.capdrill.com.
Internal Controls
The Company has complied with the Code’s provisions on internal control having established the procedures necessary to
implement the guidance issued in October 2005 (formerly known as the Turnbull Guidance) and by reporting in accordance
with that guidance.
Maintaining a sound system of internal control
The Board conducts a periodic review of the effectiveness of the Group’s system of internal controls.
The Board’s assessment includes a review of the major fi nancial and non-fi nancial risks to the business and the corresponding
internal controls. Where weaknesses or opportunities for improvement are identifi ed, clear action plans are put in place and
implementation is monitored by senior management and the executive directors.
In instances where the Group is setting up operations in a new country or a new region, appropriate personnel are deployed
or recruited and training is conducted to facilitate the integration with Group operational and fi nancial policies.
In addition, there are clear lines of responsibilities for key risk areas such as acquisitions, capital expenditure, compliance,
information technology and operations. These lines of responsibilities are continuously monitored by the executive directors
and to ensure that the Group’s strategic risk management principles are met.
Reviewing the effectiveness of internal control
The Board has overall responsibility for the Company’s system of internal control and reviewing its effectiveness. The system
of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives. In pursuing
these objectives, internal controls can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or
loss.
In addition to the process of assessment of internal control and the monitoring of the effectiveness of internal fi nancial control
by the Audit and Risk Committee, the process used by the Board to review the effectiveness of the system of internal control
can be summarised as follows:
(i) Control environment
The Board is committed to maintaining a control-conscious culture across the Group whilst allowing the business
streams suffi cient autonomy to manage and develop their businesses. This is communicated to employees by way of
regular management meetings and dissemination of updated Group policies. Monthly commercial meetings are also
held between the corporate headquarters in Singapore and the respective country managers where weaknesses in
internal controls are identifi ed and clear action plans are drawn up.
(ii) Financial reporting
There is a comprehensive system of fi nancial reporting to the Board including comparison to an annual budget
prepared in line with the Group’s strategic plan and formally adopted by the Board, rolling forecasts and monthly
reporting of fi nancial and operating results. Key performance indicators are continuously monitored by senior
management and executive directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 21
(iii) Group procedures manual
Responsibility levels are communicated throughout the Group as part of the Group procedures manual, which sets out
delegation of authority and authorisation levels and other control procedures, together with accounting and reporting
procedures. The manual is updated periodically to take into account changes in the accounting standards, reporting
requirements and operational procedures. Senior management is also provided with training and guidance, where
necessary, to ensure that the current and future needs of the Group are met.
Share dealing policy
The Company has a share dealing policy, which imposes dealing obligations at least as rigorous as those required by
the Model Code of the London Stock Exchange Listing Rules. The share dealing policy applies to the directors, persons
discharging managerial responsibilities (“PDMR”) identifi ed by the Board and other relevant insider employees of the Group,
and their respective connected persons. All employees under the share dealing policy are restricted from dealing in the
Company’s shares during close periods or if they are in possession of inside information.
Shareholder relations
The Executive Chairman and CEO and the Chief Financial Offi cer are the Group’s principal spokesmen with investors,
analysts, fund managers, the press and other interested parties. Access is available to the Senior Independent Director
and other non-executive directors if required. The Board is kept informed about shareholder relations and in particular the
Senior Independent Director is kept informed of the views of major shareholders. This is done by a combination of reports
to the Board on meetings held and feedback to the Board from the Group’s advisers. The Group holds briefi ng meetings
with analysts and institutional shareholders, usually following the half year and fi nal results announcements, to ensure that
the investing community receives a balanced and complete view of the Group’s performance and the issues faced by the
business.
The Group provides fi nancial statements to all shareholders twice a year when its half year and full year results are announced
and provides interim management statements as required. These results and all other stock exchange announcement
information are available on the Group’s website www.capdrill.com. Management presentations as well as other information
relevant to investors are also available on the website.
All shareholders are given at least 21 days’ notice of the AGM. It is standard practice for all directors to attend the AGM to
which all shareholders are invited and at which they may raise questions to the chairmen of the various committees or the
Board generally. The proxy votes for and against each resolution, as well as abstentions (which may be recorded on the proxy
form accompanying the notice of the AGM) are counted before the AGM commences and are made available to shareholders
at the close of the formal business of the meeting. The proxy votes are announced through the stock exchange and posted
on the Company’s website shortly after the close of the meeting.

DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION REPORT
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 201322
The Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee comprises Craig Burton (chairman), Tim Read and Alex Davidson.
The Remuneration Committee reviews and determines, on behalf of the Board, the salary and benefi ts packages of the
Executive Chairman and the other executive directors. The Remuneration Committee also considers and approves all awards
made by the Company to employees under the 2010 Discretionary Share Option Plan. Fees for the non-executive directors
are based on their letters of appointment entered into with the Company and reviewed annually by the Board.
In determining the executive directors’ remuneration for the year, the Remuneration Committee consulted the Executive
Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer as appropriate, save in relation to his own remuneration. No director is involved in
deciding his own remuneration. In deciding the executive directors’ remuneration, the Remuneration Committee draws on
its members’ experience and knowledge of the industry sector of the Company and also makes use of published reports on
directors’ remuneration packages within the same industry, taking into account the size and complexity of the business. The
Remuneration Committee also has access to advice from independent external advisers where necessary.
Remuneration policy
Compensation packages for executive directors are based on their service agreements entered into with the Company. The
package for each executive director currently comprises an annual salary. In addition, each executive director was also issued
with share options under the 2010 Discretionary Share Option Plan. The 2010 Discretionary Share Option Plan was replaced
by the 2013 Bonus Incentive Scheme which requires the Company to meet certain pre-determined fi nancial performance
targets before any bonus is payable to an executive director. In 2013, the fi nancial performance targets were not met and
accordingly no bonuses are payable. Other than as disclosed below, the executive directors did not receive any other
remuneration.
In reviewing and setting compensation packages for executive directors, the Remuneration Committee takes into account a
wide range of factors, including the Group’s fi nancial performance, market trends and practices, and individual contributions
across a range of performance measures, such as health and safety standards, training standards and reducing any negative
environmental and social impact of the business.
Annual salary
The Remuneration Committee’s policy is to set the annual salaries of each executive director at levels that refl ect their roles,
experience and the practices in the employment market whilst ensuring that they are in line with the pay and employment
conditions of other employees within their business units. The remuneration of the executive directors was as follows:
Salary2013
US$’000
Salary2012
US$’000
Executive chairman and CEO Jamie Boyton 483 412
Executive directorBrian Rudd 406 420

Share Option
The 2010 Discretionary Share Option Plan
The 2010 Discretionary Share Option Plan was approved by shareholders on 28 May 2010 and will expire on 6 June 2020
or on such earlier date as the Remuneration Committee may at any time determine. It is designed to motivate directors and
senior employees, whilst retaining them in the Company’s employment, by granting options to acquire shares in the Company.
The Remuneration Committee regularly considers when and to whom awards should be granted having regard to the
importance of retaining and motivating key employees who make a material contribution to the business. The Remuneration
Committee did not believe that the share incentive structure raises any environmental, social and governance risks.
Under the rules of the 2010 Discretionary Share Option Plan, an employee may not receive options in any fi nancial year such
that the aggregate market value of the Company’s shares comprised in the options exceeds 200% of his annual salary.
At 31 December 2013, the share options that had been awarded to each director were as follows:

Service contracts
The executive directors’ service contracts have no specifi ed term but are required to submit themselves for re-election at the
AGM at intervals not exceeding three years. No director has a service contract containing more than a six months notice
period or with pre-determined compensation provisions upon termination exceeding six months’ salary and benefi ts. It is the
Company’s policy that, except where prescribed by law, there should be no automatic entitlement to bonuses in the event of
an early termination.
External appointments
The Company recognises that executive directors may be invited to become non-executive directors of other companies and
that such appointments can broaden their knowledge and experience to the benefi t of the Company and they are entitled to
retain any fees earned. Mr Jamie Boyton holds directorships of Sahar Minerals Ltd and Cannon Investment Management. Mr
Brian Rudd holds directorship of Sahar Minerals Ltd.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 25
The directors are responsible for preparing this Annual Report, directors’ remuneration report and the fi nancial statements
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The directors consider that this Annual Report, directors’ remuneration
report and fi nancial statements taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable, and provide the information
necessary for shareholders to assess and provide the Group’s performance, business model and strategy.
The directors are required to prepare group fi nancial statements for each fi nancial year giving a true and fair view of
the Group’s state of affairs at the end of the year and profi t or loss for the year, in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The directors have also chosen to
prepare the parent company fi nancial statements under IFRSs. The directors must not approve the accounts unless they are
satisfi ed that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profi t or loss of the company for
that period. In preparing these fi nancial statements International Accounting Standard 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”
require the directors to:
properly select and apply accounting policies;
present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and
understandable information;
provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specifi c requirements in IFRSs are insuffi cient to enable users
to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity’s fi nancial position and
fi nancial performance; and
make an assessment of the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are suffi cient to show and explain the Group’s
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the fi nancial position of the Group. They are also responsible
for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and
other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and fi nancial information included on the
company’s website.
Directors’ responsibility statement
We confi rm to the best of our knowledge:
1. the fi nancial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, fi nancial
position and profi t or loss of Capital Drilling Limited and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a
whole; and
2. the management report, which is incorporated into the Chief Executive Review and the Chief Financial Offi cer’s Report,
includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group and the
undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that they face.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders of Capital Drilling Limited
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 201326
We have audited the consolidated and separate fi nancial statements of Capital Drilling Limited set out on pages 28 to 63,
which comprise the statements of fi nancial position as at 31 December 2013, and the statements of comprehensive income,
statements of changes in equity and statements of cash fl ows for the year then ended, and the notes, comprising a summary
of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated and separate
fi nancial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated and separate fi nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated and separate fi nancial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as issued by the International Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate fi nancial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
fi nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated and separate fi nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and
separate fi nancial position of Capital Drilling Limited as at 31 December 2013, and its consolidated and separate fi nancial
performance and consolidated and separate cash fl ows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Going concern
As required by the Listing Rules of the London Stock Exchange we have reviewed the directors’ statement contained in
the Chief Financial Offi cer’s Report that the Group is a going concern. We confi rm that based on our audit of the fi nancial
statements:
we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the fi nancial
statements is appropriate; and
we have not identifi ed any material uncertainties that may cast signifi cant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern.
However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern.

material inconsistencies between the annual report and the audited fi nancial statements. The annual report is the responsibility
of the directors. Based on reading the annual report we have not identifi ed material inconsistencies between the annual report
and the audited fi nancial statements. However, we have not audited the annual report and accordingly do not express an
opinion on it.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2013
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 33
3. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The fi nancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for fi nancial instruments which are
measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for the
assets.
The fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board and are presented in United States Dollars since that is the currency
in which the majority of the Group’s transactions are denominated. Where additional information has been presented
in the current year fi nancial statements, the prior year amounts have been re-presented to be consistent with the
presentation in the current year.
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going concern
The directors have, at the time of approving the fi nancial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company and
the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue
to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the fi nancial statements.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated fi nancial statements incorporate the fi nancial statements of the Company and entities (including
special purpose entities) controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the
power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities.
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as
appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the fi nancial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in
line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Business combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in
a business combination is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given,
liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.
Acquisition related costs are generally recognised in profi t or loss as incurred. The acquiree’s identifi able assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognised at their fair
values at the acquisition date, except for deferred tax assets or liabilities recognised in accordance with IAS 12 Income
Taxes and non-current assets that are classifi ed as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held
for Sale and Discontinued Operations, which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and subsequent impairment
losses. Depreciation is charged so as to write-off the cost of assets, less their residual values, over their expected
useful lives using the straight-line basis, on the following basis;
Drilling rigs 5 - 12 years
Associated drilling equipment 2 - 7 years
Vehicles and trucks 4 - 7 years
Camp and associated equipment 3 - 5 years
![Page 36: CAPITAL DRILLING€¦ · quality drilling solution at various stages of the mining cycle. We have a flexible structure that enables us to respond rapidly and efficiently to changes](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8c84078b347f45296d1199/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2013
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 201334
3. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (continued)
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each reporting date, with the effect
of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefi ts are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of
property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of
the asset and is recognised in profi t or loss.
Impairment of tangible assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is
any indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset
is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the
recoverable amount for an individual asset, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which
the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset for which the estimates of future
cash fl ows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased
to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-
generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the
relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a
revaluation increase.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event
and it is probable that this will result in an outfl ow of economic benefi ts that can be reliably estimated. Provisions are
measured at the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date, and
are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of fi nancial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits
held on call with banks with maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are separately disclosed as current
liabilities.
For the purpose of the cash fl ow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits held on
call with banks net of bank overdrafts.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated
customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

for the year ended 31 December 2013
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 35
3. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (continued)
Revenue recognition (continued)
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The
stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows:
• revenue from drilling contracts is recognised at the contractual drilling rates as the drilling services are delivered
and direct expenses are incurred.
• revenue from equipment rental is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
• revenue from information technology services is recognised when the services are rendered.
Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established
(provided that it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Group and the amount of income can be
measured reliably).
Interest income from a fi nancial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the
Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to
the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash receipts through the expected life of the fi nancial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial
recognition.
Foreign currency
The individual fi nancial statements of each Group Company are presented in the currency of the primary economic
environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated fi nancial statements, the
results and fi nancial position of each Group Company are expressed in United States Dollars, which is the functional
currency of the Company, and the presentation currency for the consolidated fi nancial statements.
In preparing the fi nancial statements of the individual group companies, transactions in currencies other than the
entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the
transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the
rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
not retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognised in profi t or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
• exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive
use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs
on those foreign currency borrowings;
• exchange differences on transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and
• exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement
is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation),
which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassifi ed from equity to profi t or loss on
repayment of the monetary items.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated fi nancial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign
operations are translated into United States Dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income and
expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fl uctuate signifi cantly
during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising,
if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests
as appropriate).

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2013
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 201336
3. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (continued)
Retirement benefi ts
The Group does not have a legal obligation to provide for retirement benefi ts, however each subsidiary makes
contributions for retirement benefi ts as per the country’s statutory obligations and charged to profi t and loss as
payment falls due.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax paid and currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profi t for the year. Taxable profi t differs from profi t as reported in the
statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible
in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or tax deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax
is calculated using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted in countries where the
Company and subsidiaries operate at the reporting date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the fi nancial
statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profi t. Deferred tax liabilities are
generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all
deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profi ts will be available against which
those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other
assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profi t nor the accounting profi t.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries
and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary
difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets
arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised
to the extent that it is probable that there will be suffi cient taxable profi ts against which to utilise the benefi ts of the
temporary differences and are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that suffi cient taxable profi ts will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets refl ects the tax consequences
that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying
amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends
to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profi t or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial
accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

for the year ended 31 December 2013
CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 37
3. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (continued)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average
method. Redundant and slow moving stocks are identifi ed and written down to their estimated economic or realisable
values. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to
be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets
that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of
those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
To the extent that variable rate borrowings are used to fi nance a qualifying asset and are hedged in an effective cash
fl ow hedge of interest rate risk, the effective portion of the derivative is recognised in the other comprehensive income
and released to profi t or loss when the qualifying asset impacts profi t or loss. To the extent that fi xed rate borrowings
are used to fi nance a qualifying asset and are hedged in an effective fair value hedge of interest rate risk, the capitalised
borrowing costs refl ect the hedged interest rate.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specifi c borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profi t or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Leasing
The Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease terms, except where
another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefi ts from the leased assets
are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which
they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a
liability. The aggregate benefi t of incentives is recognised as a reduction on rental expense on a straight-line basis,
except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefi ts from the
leased asset are consumed.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value
of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At each
reporting date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of
the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profi t or loss over the remaining vesting period, with a
corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefi ts reserve.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and fi nancial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the instrument.
Financial assets and fi nancial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable
to the acquisition or issue of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities (other than fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities at
fair value through profi t or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities,
as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of fi nancial assets or
fi nancial liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss are recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

3. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a fi nancial asset and of allocating interest
income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash
receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction
costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the fi nancial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter
period. Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable
amounts.
Derecognition of fi nancial assets
The Group derecognises a fi nancial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash fl ows from the asset expire, or
when it transfers the fi nancial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another
entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues
to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for
amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred
fi nancial asset, the Group continues to recognise the fi nancial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for
the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a fi nancial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum
of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profi t or loss.
On derecognition of a fi nancial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase
part of a transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the fi nancial asset between the part it
continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative
fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part
that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any
cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profi t
or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the
part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of
those parts.
Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classifi ed according to the substance of the
contractual arrangements entered into and the defi nitions of a fi nancial liability and an equity instrument. An equity
instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its
liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specifi c fi nancial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Other fi nancial liabilities
Other fi nancial liabilities, including borrowings and trade payables, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction
costs. Other fi nancial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with
interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
Derecognition of fi nancial liabilities
The Group derecognises fi nancial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled
or they expire.

3. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its
liabilities.
Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment in the stand-alone fi nancial statements of the Company.
Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation and uncertainty
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart
from those involving estimations, which have the most signifi cant effect on the amounts recognised in the fi nancial
statements:
Impairment of assets
Determining whether assets are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the assets being tested for
impairment. The value in use calculation required the directors to estimate the future cash fl ows expected to arise from
the use of the assets and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
Residual value and useful life
The Group depreciates its assets over its estimated useful lives taking into account residual values, which, following the
adoption of IAS16 Property, plant and equipment, are re-assessed on an annual basis. The actual lives and residual
values of these assets can vary depending on a variety of factors.
Technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes all impact the useful lives and residual
values of the assets. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life
of the asset and projected disposal values.
Income taxes
The Group recognises the net future tax benefi t related to deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is probable
that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. Assessing the recoverability of deferred
income tax assets requires the Group to make signifi cant estimates related to expectations of future taxable income.
Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash fl ows from operations and the application of existing tax
laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash fl ows and taxable income differ signifi cantly from estimates, the
ability of the Group to realise the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted. Additionally,
future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates could limit the ability of the Group to obtain
tax deductions in future periods.
Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation and uncertainty
New venture costs
The Group capitalises costs incurred in securing new contracts and in the initial set up phase of such contracts. These
costs are only capitalised if management adjudges the probability of successfully securing the contract as probable.
During such assessment management takes into account the fact patterns specifi c to the contract involved.

3. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (continued)
Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation and uncertainty (continued)
Share-based payments
In calculating the charge for the year under IFRS 2, Share-based payments, certain assumptions have been made
surrounding the future performance of the Capital Drilling Limited share price and the number of employees likely to
remain employed during the duration of the option life period. In addition, in order to arrive at a fair value for each of the
grants, certain parameters have been assumed for the 2010 and 2011 grants and these have been disclosed in note
18.
Contingent liabilities
Management applies its judgement to the fact patterns and advice it receives from its attorney, advocates and other
advisors in assessing if an obligation is probable, more likely than not, or remote. This judgement application is used to
determine if the obligation is recognised as a liability or disclosed as a contingent liability.

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.
The taxation charge for the year can be reconciled to the theoretical amount that would arise using the basic tax rate
on the profi t or loss per the statement of comprehensive income as follows:
(Loss) profi t before tax (1,907,045) 18,925,584 (10,430,282) (13,774,330)

Total taxation (30,690) 4,814,713 270,524 885,594
The Group’s consolidated income tax expense is affected by the varying tax laws and income tax rates in effect in
the various countries in which it operates, which are mainly in Africa and Latin America. The increase in the average
statutory rate in the reconciliation above refl ects changes in profi t mix between jurisdictions from year to year.

Drilling rigs, with a total net book value of $1,345,785 (2012: $2,049,010) are encumbered as disclosed in note 19 to
the annual fi nancial statements.
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. Due to the poor performance of the Group’s share
price in 2013, the net asset value of the Group exceeded its market capitalisation as at 31 December 2013. The
Group identifi ed this circumstance as an indicator of impairment for the current period. As a result property, plant and
equipment was tested for impairment at the reporting date. As at this date management concluded that the carrying
amount of property, plant and equipment did not exceed the value in use and therefore, no impairment loss was
recognised on that basis.
For purposes of determining the recoverable value of tangible assets, management estimates discount rates using
pre-tax rates that refl ect current market rates for investments of similar risk. The rate was estimated from the weighted
average cost of capital of companies, which operate a portfolio of assets similar to those of the Group’s assets.
In validating the value in use, key assumptions used in the discounted cash-fl ow model (such as identifi cation of
cash-generating unit, discount rates, average revenue rates, drilling volumes and terminal growth rate) management
performed a sensitivity analysis to test the resilience of the assumptions used in determining the value in use for
the impairment test. Management believe that reasonable movements in key assumptions would not result in an
impairment loss to be recognised.

All of the above subsidiaries principal activity is that of providing drilling services or support services. There have been
no changes in the percentage ownership held by the Group or Company in any of its subsidiaries.
The Group manages its cash fl ow from central treasury. Thus the Group provides fi nancial support to its subsidiaries
when necessary and the Group settles liabilities as they fall due from the Group’s treasury reserves. The fi nancial
support is provided by way of affi liate company receivables as disclosed in note 15.

Disclosed as follows:
Deferred tax assets 1,111,738 79,867
Deferred tax liabilities – 1,599,129
At the reporting date, the Group has tax losses carried forward of $20.5 million (2012: $10.3 million) with a tax value
of $5.9 million (2012: $2.9 million) available for offset against future profi ts. A deferred tax asset has been recognised
to the value of $2.8 million (2012: $0.2 million) in respect of such losses. No deferred tax asset has been recognised
in respect of the remaining tax losses amounting to $10.7 million (2012: $8.8 million) with a tax value of $3.1 million
(2012: $2.7 million) as there is uncertainty whether there will be suffi cient future taxable profi ts available to offset these
losses. These losses may be carried forward up to fi ve years or indefi nitely depending on the jurisdiction.
At the reporting date, the aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with unremitted earnings of overseas
subsidiaries for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognised, amounted to $119.8 million (2012: $108.3
million). No liability has been recognised in respect of these differences because the Group is in a position to control
the timing of declaration of dividends from the subsidiaries and it is expected that such differences will not reverse in
the foreseeable future.

Before accepting any new customer, the Group assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defi nes credit
limits by customer. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed annually. The Group’s credit risk is concentrated as
the Group currently provides drilling services to a limited number of major and junior exploration and mining companies
operating in the countries the Group operates in.
Included in trade receivables are amounts of $5,543,309 (2012: $9,555,374) receivable from customers that represents
more than 10% of the Group’s trade receivables.
No allowance is made for doubtful debts, as the directors anticipate 100% recoverability of the trade receivables.
The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximate their fair values.

2010 Discretionary share option plan:
On 28 May 2010, shareholders approved the 2010 Discretionary share option plan which was adopted by the board of
directors on the same date. All previous share option plans were terminated on that date.
All employees of the Group are eligible to participate in the scheme. Employees to whom options are offered are
required to accept the offer prior to issuance of the option certifi cate. Options are exercisable at a price equal to the
average quoted market price of the Group’s shares on the date of grant. The vesting period is three years or shorter or
longer period as determined by the Remuneration Committee on the date of grant. If the options remain unexercised
after a period of ten years from the date of grant the options expire. Options are forfeited if the employee leaves the
Group before the options vest. Details of the share options outstanding during the year are as follows:

Options were priced using a binomial option pricing model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model
was adjusted based on management’s best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and
behavioural considerations. Expected volatility is based on management’s expectation of the future volatility in the
Company’s share price. In 2013 the Group recognised total expenses of $20,975 (2012: $51,946) related to the 2010
discretionary share option plan.

27. Segmental analysis
Operating segments are identifi ed on the basis of internal management reports about components of the Group
that are regularly reviewed by the chief executive in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their
performance. Information reported to the Group’s chief executive offi cer 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 of world: Derives revenue from the provision of drilling services and related logistic, equipment rental and IT
support services.
Information regarding the Group’s operating segments is reported below. At 31 December 2013, management
reviewed the composition of the Group’s operating segments and the allocations of operations to the reportable
segments.
Segment revenue and results:
The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by reportable segment:

28. Financial instruments
Financial instruments that are measured in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position or disclosed at fair value
require disclosure of fair value measurements by level based on the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included 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 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
The fair values of fi nancial 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 specifi c estimates.
The directors consider that the carrying value amounts of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities recorded at amortised
cost in the consolidated fi nancial statements are approximately equal to their fair values. The fair values disclosed
for the fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities are classifi ed in level 3 of the fi nancial instrument hierarchy have been
assessed to approximate their carrying amounts based on a discounted cash fl ow assessment.
Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall
strategy remains unchanged from 2013.
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in notes 19 and 22, cash
and cash equivalents disclosed in note 16 and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued
capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in notes 17 and the statement of changes in equity.
Risk management is conducted within a framework of policies and guidelines that are continuously monitored by
management and the board of directors, the objective being to minimise exposure to market risks (interest rate risk,
foreign currency risk and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

Foreign currency risk management
The Group undertakes transactions in foreign currencies which give rise to exchange rate fl uctuation. To manage the
Group’s risk to foreign currency fl uctuations and foreign exchange rate risk, the Group tries to match the currency
of operating costs with the currency of revenue as well as the currency of fi nancial assets with currency of fi nancial
liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reviewed regularly by management to
ensure that the Group is not unduly exposed to foreign currencies.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets, consisting of cash and other
receivables, and monetary liabilities, consisting of trade and other payables, at 31 December 2013 are as follows:

Foreign Currency sensitivity analysis:
The Group is exposed to a number of currencies, which are listed below.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% change in the United States Dollar against the relevant
foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis includes the outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items year
end together with the income and expense items during the year and adjusts their translation for a 10% change in
foreign currency rates.
The positive number below indicates an increase in profi t where the United States Dollar strengthens by 10% against
the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the United States Dollar against the relevant currency, there would be
an equal and opposite impact on the profi t.

A 10% strengthening of the United States Dollar against the basket of currencies in which the Group trade would result
in a decrease in the Group’s net equity of $540,003 (2012: increase of $84,074) and a decrease in the company’s net
equity of $20,487 (2012: increase of $9,725).
Monetary regulation changes in some jurisdiction has imposed the usage of local currency for transactions which
triggered foreign currency rate fl uctuation exposure. The Group manages this exposure by converting excess local
currency cash in to functional currency.
Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in fi nancial loss to the
Group. Credit risk relates to potential exposure on trade and other receivables and bank balances.
Before accepting any new customer, the Group assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defi nes credit
limits by customer. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed annually. Amounts owing from the Group’s customers
are continuously monitored. The Group currently provides drilling services to a limited number of major and junior
exploration and mining companies operating in the countries the Group operates in.
The credit risk on bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by
international credit-rating agencies.
At year-end, the Group did not consider there to be any signifi cant concentration of credit risk. Also refer notes 14 and
16.
Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors. The Group manages liquidity
risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash fl ows, and by matching the maturity profi les of fi nancial assets and liabilities.
Liquidity risk tables:
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its fi nancial assets and liabilities. The tables for
assets have been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual maturities of the fi nancial assets including interest
that will be earned on those assets. The tables for liabilities represent undiscounted cash fl ows of fi nancial liabilities
based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay based on the interest rates at the reporting date:

Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group borrow funds at both fi xed and variable interest
rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fi xed and fl oating rate
borrowings. The Group’s exposures to interest rates on fi nancial liabilities are detailed below.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis:
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the balance sheet
date. For fl oating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the balance
sheet date was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest
rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible
change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profi t before
taxation for the year ended 31 December 2013 would decrease by $105,948 (2012: $141,146). If interest rates had
been 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s net equity would decrease by
$104,253 (2012: $105,295). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate
borrowings. The increase in the Group’s sensitivity to interest rates, is directly attributable to the new variable interest
rate long term debt facilities, offset by the settlements that occurred during the year, as disclosed in note 19.

32. Subsequent event
In the opinion of the Directors, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the fi nancial year and the date of
the report any matter or circumstance that has signifi cantly affected or may signifi cantly affect, the Group’s operations,
results or state of affairs in future fi nancial years.
33. Contingent liability
Capital Drilling Mauritania SARL is a party to various tax claims by the Director General of Taxation (Direction Générale
de Impôts) of Mauritania totalling $785,000. On 16 May 2012, the Company received a tax assessment from the
Mauritanian Director General of Taxation. The tax authorities made certain assumptions based on incorrect information
obtained from third parties and assessed the company for taxation based on these assumptions. Payment was made
to the Mauritanian Director General of Taxation on behalf of Capital Drilling Mauritania SARL by a third party. Capital
Drilling Mauritania SARL appealed against the assessments. The erroneous recalculations by the tax authorities could
result in the funds owed to Capital Drilling Mauritania not being recoverable from the Mauritanian Director General of
Taxation. These claims are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation
of damages are diffi cult to ascertain. Consequently, the Group is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the expected
fi nancial effect that will result from the ultimate resolution of the proceeding. As of 31 December 2013, the Group did
not record any provision for the likelihood of not recovering these funds.
