Director's Report

Directors The name of directors who held office during or since the end of the half year reporting period are:

John Lester — Non Executive Chairman Hugh Dai — Executive Director Noel Halgreen — Non Executive Director

Result The loss after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2013 was $424,613.

Review of Operations

31 st January 2014: International Coal Limited (ASX: ICX) continued to receive positive results from its key coking coal projects at Bundaberg and Consuelo. The second half of 2013 saw the Company make significant progress drilling and exploring these key projects and lay the groundwork for a successful 2014.

At 1 January, 2014, ICX and its subsidiaries (Gen Resources and Great White Nominees) held the following tenements:

Bundaberg Project (Maryborough Basin)

EPC 2194 (75%), EPC 2195 (75%), EPC 2196 (75%)

Consuelo Project (Bowen Basin)

EPC 2332 (20%) EPC 2318 (20%)

South Blackall Project (Eromanga Basin)

EPC 2197 (100%)

Don Juan Project (Surat Basin)

EPC 2286 (46%)

Other Projects

EPC 2861 (100%)

During the quarter, ICX retained all of its core granted tenements. Exploration Permit for Coal (EPC 2327) in the Consuelo Project exited the native title notification period in late December 2013. Grant is expected within 30 days of the end of this notification period (i.e. January 2014).

During the quarter, exploration activities focused on the Bundaberg and Consuelo Project with desktop studies and compliance work carried out on the remaining tenements.

Bundaberg Project The Company completed drilling at Bundaberg (Figure 1) during the reporting period as scheduled and the results were released on 17 December 2013. An inferred Resource of 37.9Mt of hard coking coal was reported following the drilling of two exploration holes and an update of the related geological model (Figure 1). This was an increase of 33% from previously announced results. The Inferred Resource was reported to the new reporting standards required by the ASX and Joint Ore Reserve Committee (JORC 2012). International Coal Limited is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the announcement of 17 December 2013. Further, that in regard to the estimates provided in that announcement, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

These results were from the same seams that were sampled and found to have hard coking coal characteristics comparable to hard coking coal mines in the Bowen Basin.

The Company is working with Fox Resources who hold ground adjacent to the south of EPC 2196. The two companies developed a data sharing arrangement to enable the development of the resource as a whole.

Consuelo Project

EPC 2332 and 2318 (Consuelo Project) were granted in July 2013 and EPC 2327 has been granted subsequent to the reporting period

A desktop geological review was compiled on the Consuelo Project (Figure 1) in the southern Bowen Basin near Rolleston. The Company currently holds a 20% interest (Coal Face Resources holds the remaining 80%) in the Consuelo Project and is currently exercising its option to earn in up to 71% of the project.

The studies substantiated the potential for semi-soft coking and thermal coal products. The review indicated that EPC 2327 has the highest potential for coal at open cut depths of all the Consuelo Project tenements (EPC 2327, 2318, 2332). The new studies have uncovered drilling and seismic information that suggests there is potential for coal seam(s) up to 4m thick to occur between 45m and 100m in the northwest of the tenement.

The Company is currently earning a major stake (up to 71%) in the Consuelo Project - a potentially large semi-soft coking and thermal coal prospect in the Bowen Basin, one of the world's premier coal basins. The Company intends to commence drilling at the Consuelo Project as soon as landholder negotiations and clearance work is completed.

Early discussions with rail and port operators for the Consuelo and Bundaberg projects also progressed during the reporting period as part of the ICX's strategy to fast track the development of these projects.

South Blackall Project

The Company continues to research options for the development of its South Blackall Project (Figure 1) in the Eromanga Basin and remains committed to the commercialisation of this large thermal coal asset.

Improvements in our operations saw a continued reduction in our administration costs from the previous quarter. The Company remains in a position to progress exploration on our projects and expects to produce further results on its key project in coming months.

The Board and management remain in discussions with strategic investors and continue to look for other project opportunities that fit International Coal's strategic focus on achieving coal production by 2017 or earlier.

Other Projects

Joint venture work at Don Juan (EPC 2286) focussed on further desktop studies and land clearances, primarily led by joint venture partner Coal Face Resources Pty Ltd. The company is reviewing options for commercialising this project.

An option for purchase was negotiated with Blackall Capital Pty Ltd for non-core assets (EPC 2702 and 2861) near Emerald following the grant of EPC 2702. This option has resulted in the sale of EPC 2702 in December 2013. Proceeds of the sale of these assets will be used to fund development of our core projects (Consuelo and Bundaberg) and will be included in the financial statements for the next reporting period.

These decisions are consistent with our continued effort to focus on our core assets at Consuelo and Bundaberg.

Corporate Activities

Corporate activity continued to focus on marketing the Company and managing its reporting and compliance

activities. Management continued to achieve improvements in operational efficiencies during the reporting period through stronger pre-expenditure controls and negotiation on contractor rates following the contraction of the coal industry through 2012-2013. These efforts saw the Company maintain a strong financial position into 2014.

Our corporate marketing activities were aimed at maintaining the Company's profile and key stakeholder relationships. A number of Asian investors continued to express an interest in the Company and its coal assets. The Board continues to develop these relationships for the Company's long term benefit, particularly as our projects move beyond exploration toward mine development.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose interim financial statements for half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of International Coal Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as the

consolidated group or the Group). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore

recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013, together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.

Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

1. Basis of consolidation

Adoption of AASB 10 resulted in change in the definition of control. Under the new definition, the group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with

the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The consolidated group has reviewed its investments in other entities to assess whether the consolidated treatment in relation to these entities is different under AASB 10 than under the previous applicable standard. No differences were found and therefore no adjustments to any of the carrying amounts in the financial statements are required as a result of adoption of AASB 10.

(b) New and amended standards and interpretations

The Group has adopted the following new and revised Australian Accounting Standards from 1 July 2013 together with consequential amendments to other Standards:

AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements

AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011)

AASB 11: Joint Arrangements

AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011)

AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

AASB 2011-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards; and

AASB 2012-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Transition Guidance and Other Amendments.

These Standards became mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2013 and became applicable to the Group for the first time in the current half-year reporting period 1 July 2013 to 31 December 2013. The Group has applied these Accounting Standards retrospectively in accordance with AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and the specific transition requirements in AASB 10 and AASB 11.

The adoption of these standards has not had a material impact on the financial statements of the consolidated group. Where required, new disclosures introduced by these standards have been included in these interim financial statements.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

Going Concern

The consolidated entity has recorded a net loss of $424,613 for the half year ended 31 December 2013,

and has no ongoing source of operating income. At 31 December 2013 the consolidated entity had net assets of $13,055,292.

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

The directors believe the going concern basis is appropriate for the following reasons:

• At 31 December 2013 the consolidated entity had cash and cash equivalents of $1,574,078.

• The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts which include a further capital raising planned for the second half of 2014 to meet all planned expenditure programs.

Based on the above, the directors are satisfied that the consolidated entity will be able to fund its operations and continue as going concern, and it is appropriate that the financial statements have been prepared on that basis.

NOTE 2: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The company had no contingent liabilities at 31 December 2013.

NOTE 3: SEGMENT INFORMATION

International Coal Limited operates within the exploration industry in Queensland, Australia

NOTE 4: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of the operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INTERNATIONAL COAL LIMITED

Report on the Half-year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of International Coal Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of International Coal Limited 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 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 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 half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of International Coal Limited 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 International Coal 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 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.

HALL CHADWICK a INTERNATIONAL COAL LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ABN 65 149 197 651 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE

MEMBERS OF INTERNATIONAL COAL LIMITED

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 International Coal Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

(I)

giving a true and fair view of International Coal Limited's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

(ii) complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half year financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $424,613 and has no ongoing source of operating income for the half year ended 31 December 2013. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity 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.
