Review of operations
SubZero Group Limited (ASX:SZG) today reported a statutory net loss after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2013 of $2.233m.
Underlying EBITDA of $0.946million was outside the range provided by the Company in its trading update provided on 29 January 2014. Since the announcement the Directors and management have become aware that an invoice requested by a customer in December is for work to be carried subsequent to half-year end and have deferred the booking of that invoice to the second half.
Market conditions in the six months ended December 2013 continued to be soft. Although coal production continues to operate at record levels in the Hunter Valley with high equipment utilisation, customers have maintained tight controls over expenditure in order to conserve cash and improve profitability. As such revenue for the Group was softer than in the previous six months. Commensurate with these market conditions, SubZero has been maintaining tight cost controls and conserving cash.
During the period SubZero continued to be awarded new contracts as well as the roll over of current contracts. In order to support this growth SubZero has increased levels of inventory and work in progress. However, the deferral in start dates of planned contracts continues to adversely impact revenue and the ability to recover these sunk costs in a timely manner. Wet weather in late November also negatively impacted on operations.
SubZero occupied its major facility in Muswellbrook, the largest climate controlled workshop in the Hunter Valley. During the six months we have continued to improve our safety systems and training programs for our personnel. We have restructured our management team and continue to refine our processes further. A review of our future business systems requirements has been undertaken and the Board has approved a $1.2m investment over the next 2 financial years for the replacement of the Company's existing business and IT platform. From an equipment and personnel perspective, SubZero is well positioned with the capacity and capability to meet its customer's current and future needs.
Clear indications from customers support our outlook that with the reduction in capital expenditure on new equipment and high levels of production, maintenance expenditure will increase over the balance calendar 2014 and beyond.

1 Basis of preparation of the half-year report
This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2013 and any public announcements made by SubZero Group Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
(a) Going Concern
As at 31 December 2013, the Group has incurred a loss after tax for the half year of ($2.3m) (2012: profit of $0.6m), the Group has a deficiency in net current assets of $5.9m (30 June 2013: deficiency of $10.1m). The Group has a net asset position at 31 December 2013 of $7.3m (30 June 2013: $1.5m) following the successful equity raisings of $8.2m (net of transaction costs) during the half year.
As a result of these matters, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group is well advanced in pursuing refinancing initiatives to better fund the company's working capital and growth, following the equity raisings completed during the half year. The directors believe that the company and Group will be successful in the above matters and, accordingly, have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis. The directors are also of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the financial report. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the carrying amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
(b) Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the entity
There are standards issued not yet applied by the entity which will have a material impact on the Group.
2 Segment information
(a) Description of segments
The SubZero Group operates in a single segment, Mining Services, in Australia. The various products and services all relate to the same economic characteristics and are sold to a common set of customers. Based on the operation of a single segment and geography separate segment numbers have not been provided as the financial statements represent the one segment.
3 Fair value measurement of financial instruments
(a) Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 required disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly (level 2), and
(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The following table presents the group's financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 31 December and 30 June 2013 on a recurring basis:
| At 31 December 2013Held to maturity investments | Level 1$'000150150 | Level 2$'000-- | Level 3$'000-- | Level 4$'000-- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| At 30 June 2013Held to maturity investments | Level 1$'000300300 | Level 2$'000-- | Level 3$'000-- | Level 4$'000-- |
The group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. The group did not measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as at 31 December 2013.
(b) Fair values of other financial instruments
The group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. These had the following fair values at 31 December 2013:
| CarryingAmount | Fair Value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-current borrowings | $'000 | $'000 | |
| Bank facilities | 4,374 | 4,388 | |
| 4,374 | 4,388 |
Due to their short term nature, the carrying amounts of the current receivables, current payables and current borrowings is assumed to approximate their fair value.

- (i) complying with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; and
- (ii) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of it's performance for the half year ended on that date and

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

Independent auditor's review report to the members of SubZero Group Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of SubZero Group Limited (the Company), which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2013, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for SubZero Group Limited (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled during that halfyear.
Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of SubZero Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of SubZero Group Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date;
- b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of ($2.3m) during the half year ended 31 December 2013, and, as of that date; the company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $5.9m and that the group is currently pursuing refinancing initiatives. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Other Matter
The Company was not required to prepare or lodge a financial report for half year end 31 December 2012. The comparative amounts included in the financial report are therefore unaudited.
