Directors

The names of the directors in office at any time during or since the end of the half-year are: Christopher Charles Hext Appointed 29 June 2001 William Lewis Timms Appointed 18 December 2009 Raymond John Titman Appointed 23 July 2010 Christopher Michael Giles Appointed 24 September 2010 Anthony Mankarios Resigned 23 July 2010

Principal Activities and Significant Changes in Nature of Activities

The principal activities of the consolidated group during the financial year were:

  • manufacturing and marketing of paint brushes, paint rollers, painters tools and spray guns;

  • manufacturing, marketing and exporting of Treco garden sheds, outdoor storage systems, aviaries and pet homes;

  • manufacturing and marketing of scaffolding and related equipment; and

  • hiring of scaffolding and related products to the building and construction industry.

Manufacturing and marketing of cleaning and personal care products ceased during the period as a result of the orderly wind-down of H&O Products Pty Ltd at 31 October 2010.

Operating Results and Review of Operations for the year

Operating Results

The consolidated group revenue on continuing operations for the six months to 31st December 2010 is $17,667,244 down 2% from $18,042,937 in same period in 2009. The consolidated net loss after tax attributable to members for the six months to 31st December 2010 was a loss of $1,165,495 compared to a loss of $1,703,485 for the corresponding period to 31st December 2009.

The consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation on continuing operations increased by 81% to $1,365,000 for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 compared to $753,000 for half-year ended 31 December 2009. This reflects improved performance from the Scaffold Division

Review of Operations

(i) Paint Applications Division

The Paint Applications division made a small loss for the half-year but is expected to return to profitability in the second half of the financial year. This will be driven by an expansion of the existing customer base, with initial orders from new entrants to the market expected prior to the end of the financial year and an increase in orders next year.

(ii) Treco Garden Sheds Division

The Treco Garden Sheds division made a loss during the half-year and measures are currently being taken to improve the performance of this division with the progressive closure of loss-generating retail alliances and expansion of the division's distribution network. International sales for the division have been adversely affected by the strong performance of the Australian dollar. However, the international market has remained consistent during the period and is expected to remain so in the future.

(iii) Scaffold Division

The division is performing profitability and slightly above expectations. The business has undergone significant management changes over the last eighteen months with a renewed focus on quality and customer service. Further improvements have been forecast in terms of growing the division's revenue and profitability. The focus over the next 12 months is to bring the division's customer service levels to industry best practice, further develop our international markets, develop new products to compliment our existing range and provide our customers with products that meet their scaffolding requirements.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

(iv) Pt Ace Oldfields Indonesia

Export sales to existing customers are increasing. Domestic sales in Indonesia grew this period with further growth expected in the second half of the financial year. Discussions are currently being held to increase the domestic market within the Indonesian distribution network.

(v) Property

The properties held at St Marys, New South Wales and Archerfield, Queensland have been listed for sale. The consideration on sale of these properties will be used to reduce the overall debt of the

The Group's interest in the Tangshan Hengfeng joint venture was sold during the period and settled on the 25th of February 2011.

(vi) H & O Consumer Products Division

This discontinued division delivered a negative result for the period. The wind down of this division was completed in October 2010. All finished goods and assets were sold and all outstanding commitments honoured.

Financial Position

The net assets of the consolidated group have increased by $1,661,753 from 30 June 2010. This increase is largely due to the following factors:

  • improved working capital management;

  • closure of non-performing business units, being H&O Products Pty Ltd and a number of retail alliances within the Treco Garden Sheds division; and

  • capital raising as a result of the recent rights issues.

The directors believe the Group is in a stable financial position to expand and grow its current operations.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

No significant changes in the consolidated group's state of affairs occurred during the year.

Dividends Paid or Recommended

Since the start of the financial year, no dividends have been paid or declared.

After Balance Date Events

The sale of the Group's investment in the Tangshan Hengfeng joint venture was settled on the 25th of February 2011.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

Note 1 Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The half-year report does not include notes to the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company's 2010 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current period.

  • New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to the Group ● Amendments to AASB 5, 8, 101, 107, 117, 118, 136, and 139 as a consequence of AASB 2009-5 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project.

AASB 2009-5 introduces amendments into Accounting Standards that are equivalent to those made by the IASB under its program of annual improvements to its standards. A number of the amendments are largely technical, clarifying particular terms, or eliminating unintended consequences. Other changes are more substantial, such as the current/non-current classification of convertible instruments, the classification of expenditures on unrecognised assets in the statement of cash flows and the classification of leases of land and buildings.

The adoption of these amendments has not resulted in any changes to the Group's accounting policies and have no affect on the amounts reported for the current or prior periods.

Note 2 Going Concern

The Group made a loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 of $1,020,212 and had a net cash outflow from operating activities of $686,532. These conditions give rise to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going

Notwithstanding, the directors' believe that the Group will continue to operate as a going concern for the following reasons:

  • The recent rights issue has recapitalised the Group, enabling funding of future growth initiatives;

  • The Paint Applications Division is expected to benefit from changes in the hardware market in Australia;

  • Economic conditions have improved, particularly in the construction industry, the benefits of which have been experienced in the Scaffold

  • ● DiRationalisation of the Treco Garden Sheds Division has commenced and is expected to be finalised in the next few months which will i i provide ongoing cost savings;

  • The properties held at St Marys, New South Wales and Archerfield, Queensland have been listed for sale. The consideration on sale of these properties will be used to reduce the overall debt of the Group; and

  • The Group's debts are being paid as and when they fall due.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge it liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of liabilities that might result should the company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

Note 4 Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings since the diversification of the Group's operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:

  • the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;

  • the manufacturing process;

  • the type or class of customer for the products or service;

  • the distribution method; and

  • any external regulatory requirements.

The Group has identified the following reportable segments:
