Dulhunty Power Ltd ABN 38 002 679 469

Market Announcement Preliminary results Financial Year ended 30 June 2009

A significant improvement in operating results during the second half of the year will see DUL report a consolidated loss after tax and minorities of approximately $750,000 (December 2008 consolidated 6 month loss after tax and minorities was $838,000). Whilst this result is disappointing, it does represent a significant turn around in operations in the second half of the year to 30 June 2009 and demonstrates the successful implementation of both sales drivers and cost reduction strategies.

The previously reported result for the December half year included a one off write down in the listed company’s investment in eChoice Pty Ltd of $187,641, due to participation in the successful offer by Firstfolio Limited. Valuation of the investment in Firstfolio Limited shares as held by DUL has not changed at 30 June 2009. The investment in eChoice Pty Ltd was as previously stated a historic investment which was not synergistic with DUL as an energy sector provider and this write down does not impact on Dulhunty Power’s plans for growth.

Dulhunty Power Limited is pleased to report a return to profitability for it’s operating subsidiary, Dulhunty Engineering Limited (DEL), after a difficult first half year. Sales have increased significantly for the second Half Year to 30 June 2009 and are in excess of $12.3m for the 6 months ($20.6m full year to 30 June 2009 and $8.7m for the comparative 6 month period to 30 June 2008). DEL will achieve a full year EBIT profit to 30 June 2009 of approximately $740,000 and a consolidated Net Profit after tax and minority of approximately $10,000 (Net Loss after tax and minority of $420,585 for the Half Year to 31 December 2008).

Dulhunty Power Limited has strengthened its balance sheet during the year including a further successful capital raising totaling $500,000 through share placement during the second half year to 30 June 2009 and continues to seek new investment capital to facilitate achievement of the approved Growth Plan, including the development of it’s licensed fibreglass concrete composite power pole technology. Costs for the listed entity have also been reduced during the second half year to 30 June 2009 and have decreased by more than 20% over the previous comparative 6 month period.
