Chairman's statement

I am pleased to present Weatherly's interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2008.

As described below, following dramatic falls in the copper price, the Board took the decision in late 2008 to close Weatherly's mining operations and place the mines on care and maintenance. Weatherly continues to operate the Tsumeb smelter under Namibia Custom Smelters to process imported concentrates, and has successfully negotiated a US$11.3 million loan facility that will provide funding for the smelter's expansion and its ongoing requirements, as well as for redundancy payments. As at the date of this report, US$1.0 million of this facility remains committed but undrawn.

In addition to the cessation of mining activities, further measures have been taken to reduce overheads at our operations office in Namibia and at our head office in London.

Revenue in the six months to 31 December 2008 increased to US$77.3 million from US$41.5 million in the corresponding prior year period. This was primarily due to the agreements to process third party concentrates, which were not in place during the prior six month period. Weatherly recorded a gross loss for the six months of US$11.5 million compared to a gross profit of US$4.9 million for the same period in 2007. The significantly weaker performance resulted from sharply lower copper prices and higher one-time operational costs associated with the closure of our mines - specifically redundancy costs and development costs that would otherwise have been capitalised had the Board not decided to write off these assets.

The net loss for the period of US$15.4 million, or US 3.69 cents per share, included an expense of US$3.0 million reflecting an adjustment to the fair value of the company's share options in Emerging Metals Limited (EML) which are valued on a marked-to-market basis; a profit on the exercise of copper put options of US$2.7 million; and deferred revenue of US$4.9 million released in relation to the initial value of the sale of the slag dumps to EML following that company's admission to AIM on 1 July 2008. A fair value adjustment of US$5.8 million was also made in order to reflect the decrease in value of the company's shareholding in EML, although this was recognised through equity rather than the income statement.

The sharp decline in world copper prices from circa US$8,000 per tonne in June 2008 to circa US$3,000 in November 2008, well below Weatherly's production cost of approximately US$5,000 per tonne, called into question the viability of the company's mining operations. Weatherly undertook a number of cost cutting measures which initially included closing Tsumeb West in October 2008 and placing the Matchless mine on care and maintenance in November, as well as making redundancies at Otjihase and Tschudi. However, continuing falls in the copper price compelled us to place these last two mines on care and maintenance also, with operations ceasing on 20 December 2008. All mine closures were conducted in an orderly manner with appropriate compensation being paid to redundant employees.

Weatherly Mining Namibia's production for the period was as follows:

MINING PRODUCTION	6 months ended 31 December 2008
	Milled	Grade	Recovery	Copper
Area	(t)	(%)	(%)	(t)
Central Operations	316,080	1.24	91.85	3,597

Smelter throughput of copper feed materials for the period is shown in the table below:

Third party concentrates	1,476	2,691	4,167	3,145	1,871	5,016	943	1,826	2,769	7,785
Third party blister and matte	-	-	-	468	1,155	1,623	794	81	875	2,498
Total copper blister (tonnes)	4,055	4,618	8,673	5,493	5,222	10,715	3,757	4,156	7,913	18,628

Starting in April 2009 it is proposed to report production numbers quarterly.

In November 2008, with the rapid fall in copper prices, a full review of its cash resources in progress, and a potential claim lodged against the company, Weatherly requested that trading of its shares on AIM be temporarily suspended. The company subsequently implemented an extensive programme of cost reductions, secured the substantial long-term loan facility referred to above, and conducted a thorough investigation into the potential claim. Trading in Weatherly's ordinary shares resumed on AIM following publication of the company's annual report on 26 February 2009.

As a result of the decisive and carefully considered measures it has taken during the period, the Board is cautiously confident that Weatherly is now well positioned to survive the current market conditions, and to generate significant shareholder value from its existing assets and future opportunities when market conditions improve.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

for the period 1 July to 31 December 2008

1. a. Basis of preparation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements which are for the six month period ended 31 December 2008 have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of reporting standards that are either already in issue, as adopted by the European Union (EU) and effective at 30 June 2009, or are expected to be adopted and effective at 30 June 2009.

The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2008 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 237(2) of the Companies Act 1985.

The accounting policies applied in this interim report are consistent with those applied in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2008.

b. Nature of operations and general information

Weatherly International plc and subsidiaries' ("the group's") principal activities include the mining, smelting and sale of copper.

Weatherly International plc is the group's ultimate parent company. It is incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of Weatherly International plc's registered office, which is also its principal place of business, is Marble Arch Tower, 55 Bryanston Street, London W1H 7AJ. The company's shares are listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.

Weatherly International's consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars (US$), which is also the functional currency of the parent company.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 March 2009.

1 Weatherly exercised copper put options that had a strike price of US$5,000 per tonne. These options were in the money for October 2008, November 2008 and December 2008. As of 1 January 2009 Weatherly did not hold any further options.

2 Weatherly recognised deferred revenue relating to the initial value attributed to EML at 30 June 2008. EML listed on AIM on 1 July 2008 which triggered the release of the entire EML deferred revenue balance, as a result of the revenue recognition criteria being met.

Loss for the period attributable to equity	(14,973)	(1,145)		(52,393)


Basic loss per share (US cents)	(3.69)	(0.29)		(13.15)
Diluted loss per share (US cents)	(3.69)	(0.29)		(13.15)




Issued ordinary shares at start of the period	405,327,066	356,146,555		356,646,567
Shares issued during the period	98,361	48,375,010		48,680,499


Issued ordinary shares at end of the period	405,425,427		404,521,565		405,327,066


Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period - basic earnings per share	405,400,837	391,979,359		398,431,898
Effect of share options in issue	-	8,196,042		7,330,789


Weighted average number of ordinary shares fully diluted at end of the period - diluted earnings per share	405,400,837	400,175,401		405,762,687

Where a loss has been incurred for the period, the diluted loss per share does not differ from the basic loss per share as the exercise of share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per share and is therefore not dilutive under the terms of IAS 33.

10. Post balance sheet events

Board change

As part of the extensive restructuring of the company, Paul Craven stepped down from his position as Chief Financial Officer and Director on 9 February 2009.
