REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
1. Mine Mixers
Following the acquisition of the Mine Mixers IP in 2008, the company commenced the commercialisation of this technology through the construction of two machines. These machines were completed in September and October 2008.
The timing of the completion of these machines however coincided with the commodity crisis which had a negative impact on demand for the mine mixer during the first half of the 2009 financial year to date. The scaling back of operational and capital expenditure by mines and contractors was not favourable for commercialisation of the machines.
Despite the fall off in demand late last year, the new year has seen renewed interest in the two completed machines on a three year contract plus a substantial tender outcome is still pending. The Company does not expect a decision on this until the last quarter of the 2009 financial year, at which time an announcement will be made.
In addition to the above negotiations, a revised marketing plan for the Mine Mixer has also been prepared. This plan consists of direct marketing of the Mine Mixer to potential clients on their sites following the positive responses received from parties once they have undertaken a physical inspection of the machines. This marketing commenced in the second week of February 2009 and one of the machines will be showcased at the Mt Isa Mine Expo in March 2009.
2. Pre-filled Medical Device
The Company continued to pursue possibilities for the pre-filled medical device during the half year following the assessment of the technology and quantification of the potential capital expenditure associated with its further development.
As announced, the company commenced discussions with a potential joint venture party. Following a number of meetings, the Company terminated discussions and now continues to assess options in relation to this technology.
OPERATING RESULTS
For the six months to 31 December 2008 the company incurred a consolidated net loss of $965,657 (2007- $248,830).

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
This general purpose financial report for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2008 has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, Accounting interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
This condensed half year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, position and cash flows of the consolidated entity as in the full financial report. Accordingly, it is recommended that this report be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2008 and any public announcements made by RTL Corporation Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules . The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those detailed in the 2008 Annual Report.
(b) Basis of preparation of half-year financial report
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and certain classes of property, plant and equipment.
Going concern
The consolidated entity incurred a loss before impairment of intangibles of $128,407 for the half year ended 31 December 2008 and has available cash at balance date of $220,886. The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis due to the following reasons:
-
The company is in discussion with a number of parties on the rental or sale of the mine mixer units
-
The company has minimal monthly outgoings.
-
The company has a strategy to raise additional shareholder funds.
-
The company has a strategy in place to assist in allowing it to get to a position where operating earnings brings it to a cash positive position.
The consolidated entity is dependent on the sale or rental of items currently held as inventories to enable it to increase its cash reserves to fund its operations in the future. To the extent that the consolidated entity is not successful in these initiatives there is uncertainty that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(c) Significant accounting judgements and key estimates
The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this half year report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated report for the year ended 30 June 2008.
( d) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
In the half –year ended 31 December 2008, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008.
It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Note 5 Segment Information
Business and Geographical Segment
The Group is involved in two commercial activities.
-
The development of the safety syringe pre-fill concept.
-
The rental and marketing for sale of the Mine Mixer Agitator truck.
No material expenditure was incurred during the period on the safety syringe pre- fill concept giving the declining interest in this product despite continuing marketing efforts.
Note 6 Contingent Liability / Asset
On audit the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) issued an amended assessment in respect of the 2004 and 2005 Income Tax Years claiming a return of the Research and Development tax offset paid to the company in the amount of $248,070.
The company reached an agreement with the ATO to settle 50% of this amount ($124,035) while it provided documentation to support its tax offset claim for these years. If the company is successful it will recover the amount of $124,035 paid to the ATO. If the company is unsuccessful it will have a further liability to the ATO of $124,035. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the appeal, the entity is unable to reliably estimate the outcome. As a result the Company has not recognised an asset or liability in respect of this matter.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of
RTL Corporation Limited
- Report on the Half Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report, which comprises the condensed balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, the condensed income statement, condensed statement of changes in equity, condensed cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements for the halfyear ended on that date, and the directors’ declaration, of RTL Corporation Limted and the entities it controlled during the half-year ended 31 December 2008 (“consolidated entity”).
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
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 Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports 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 2008 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 RTL Corporation 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. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 has been provided to the directors of RTL Corporation Limited on 27 February 2009.
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 RTL Corporation 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 2008 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Significant Uncertainties Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern and Value of Contingencies
Without qualification to the conclusion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 1 to the half year financial report which states that the consolidated entity is dependant on the sale or rental of items currently held as inventory, and to the extent that the consolidated entity is not successful in this regard, there is significant uncertainty of its ability to continue as a going concern. We also draw attention to Note 6 to the half year financial report which indicates that the Australian Taxation Office has disallowed the company’s Research and Development Tax Offset claim for the 2005 and 2006 financial years. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot presently be determined, and no provision for any liability or asset that may result has been made in the financial report.
