Chairman's Statement regarding the Unaudited Financial
Results
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
On behalf of your Board of Directors, I present our unaudited
consolidated financial results for Skywest Airlines Ltd. and its
subsidiaries for the half year ended 31 December 2012 (the "Current
Period").
FIRST HALF FISCAL YEAR 2013 RESULTS
Group revenue for the Current Period increased by 19% to a
record S$173m (H1 2012: S$145m).
Substantial investments and an expansion of the workforce was
undertaken to build a foundation for future growth in the ARAN
network. However, due to non recurring costs, expansion costs and
changes in market conditions, earnings before interest, taxation,
depreciation, amortisation and aircraft rentals (EBITDAR) was
S$26.2m (H1 2012: S$31.4m). Current period consolidated net loss
after tax was S$2.2m (2012: S$4.5m profit) and loss per share of
1.03 Singapore cents (1H 2012: 2.23 Singapore cents). Performance
was affected by challenging conditions putting downward pressure on
loads and yields. During this period the Company also increased its
capacity in the RPT network in the lead up to new charter
contracts.
The Company was impacted by several non-recurring costs, as well
as the carbon tax implemented on 1 July 2012 (S$2.0m pre-tax) and
also a non-cash charge related to aircraft maintenance reserve
adjustments (S$1.0m pre-tax). Excluding these items would result in
a profitable Current Period. Internally, non-recurring expenses
associated with the activities to establish a foundation for
continued growth which include preparations for the introduction of
a second A320 aircraft into the fleet, consolidation of
administrative offices into a new more economic off-airport
location, the transfer of flight operations from the existing
passenger terminal to new facilities at Perth Airport's new
terminal and advisory costs related to the proposed transaction
with Virgin Australia also had an impact.
FIRST HALF FISCAL YEAR 2013 REVIEW
In the Fly-in and Fly-out ("FIFO") charter business, capacity
(as measured by ASKs) was 18% lower than the comparable period
while revenue was 6% lower than the comparable period reflecting
higher unit revenue. However, this was temporary. Current trading
as at the date of this announcement shows FIFO activity has
recovered to record levels.
During the six month period aircraft were utilized on the RPT
network while awaiting deployment in FIFO service for new contracts
with BHP Billiton Iron Ore and Rio Tinto which were announced in
October and December, respectively. Accordingly, RPT capacity (as
measured by ASKs) was 34% more than the comparable period. This
shift of asset to RPT was a one-off event. This significant
capacity increase in addition to competitive pressures which have
also affected other airlines resulted in 3% lower revenue due to
lower loads, fares and yields.
In the Australian Regional Airline Network ("ARAN") operated for
Virgin Australia, the Company took delivery of four additional new
ATR-72 aircraft to bring the total number of ATR-72 aircraft to
ten, all operating on the East Coast of Australia. In December, the
Company's ARAN revenue was higher than RPT revenue and nearly half
of all Skywest flight sectors operated in the month were for ARAN.
Operationally, the ARAN continued to outperform its competitors for
both on-time arrivals and departures. The Company ended the Current
Period with 30 aircraft in its fleet. The Company entered one of
its owned F100 aircraft into revenue service during the Current
Period. Skywest also has an additional owned F100 asset that could
be brought into service in due course.
It should be noted that the past twelve months have been a
period of great change for Skywest. The Company faced challenges
including a reduction in its monopoly routes caused by deregulation
changes and as a consequence of security regulation lost some RPT
revenue due to increased security requirements at some regional
airports (up to S$45 per passenger). Skywest experienced changes to
its mix of charter FIFO business. Nevertheless, the Company is now
enjoying growth with the addition of new FIFO contracts including
the BHP and Rio Tinto contracts. Furthermore charters to Onslow are
growing rapidly and the ARAN growth, as noted above, has been
significant and is continuing to increase: the 11(th) ATR-72 is due
for delivery on the date of this announcement.
CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK
In January 2013, the Company performed a record 400 charter
services as new contracts phased-in. In RPT, load factors were 4.6
percentage points higher compared to January 2012. In ARAN, block
hours reached 1,906 in January 2013 which are more than double the
833 block hours in January 2012. Overall, current trading is
trending to the positive: January 2013's financial performance was
materially better than January 2012. Skywest expects to add two
additional ATR-72 aircraft to bring the total ATR fleet to twelve
by 30 June 2013 and to add one A320 in March to bring the combined
Skywest and ARAN fleet to 33 by 30 June 2013. The Company is also
considering the acquisition of two other A320 aircraft.
The Company is conducting an on-going review of the business,
organization, methods and practices. This has led to considerable
cost savings in recent months that will contribute to what is
expected to be an improved second half. I appreciate the
considerable pressure placed on staff and performance as we all
work through the hiatus period leading up to the potential
acquisition of Skywest by Virgin Australia.
RISKS
Risks faced by the Group's business remain the normal commercial
risks and typical airline industry related risks along with client
concentration risks. The Group is exposed to changes in exchange
rates and fuel costs. These two factors still represent a
significant risk to the business. Australian domestic fuel prices,
when combined with a lowering in the value of the Australian
dollar, cause increased overall costs to the Airline's operations.
The Group does attempt to mitigate changes in the dollar and fuel
costs by way of hedging, however, rapid and massive changes can
quickly impact the finances of the Group with significant
consequences. The Company is undergoing a period of rapid growth,
and therefore faces business execution risks associated with that
growth.
DESPATCH OF DOCUMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS FOR 13 MARCH 2013 SCHEME
MEETING
The Board of Directors (the "Directors") of Skywest refers to
the joint announcement made by the Company and Virgin Australia

wholly owned subsidiary, VAH Newco No. 2 Pty Ltd (the "Offeror"),
by way of a scheme of arrangement under Section 210 of the
Companies Act (Chapter 50 of Singapore) and in accordance with the

a scheme document dated 26 February 2013 (the "Scheme Document")
containing, inter alia, full details of the Scheme (including the

The adoption of new standards and interpretation as of 1 July
2012 did not have material impact on the financial position or
performance of the Group
The Group has not elected to early adopt any other new Standards
or amendments that are issued but not yet effective.
Change in accounting estimate
During the current financial period, the Group revised the
estimated useful lives and residual values of certain of its
aircraft and engine from 5 to 24 years to 11 to 24 years to more
accurately reflect their condition and estimated utilisation. The
revision in accounting estimate has been applied prospectively from
1 July 2012. The effect of the revision on the depreciation charge
recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in
the current period is a reduction of $936,636.
3. Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in
business activities from which it may earn revenues or incur
expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions
with other components of the same entity), whose operating results
are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision
maker to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the
segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial
information is available. Management will also consider other
factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of
a line manager and the level of segment information presented to
the board of directors.
Operating segments have been based on the information provided
to the chief operating decision makers- being the executive
management team. The accounting policies applied for internal
reporting are consistent with the policies applied in the
preparation of the financial statements.
The Group has identified that it has one operating segment with
operations predominantly in Australia as an airline operator.

8. Derivative financial instruments
The non-current derivative financial instruments relate to the
fair value changes of embedded derivatives relating to the warrants
and conversion option of the convertible loan. The fair values of
these embedded derivatives are calculated using the binomial option
pricing method based on certain assumption of volatility that is
not supported by observable market data. The binomial option
pricing method takes into account changes in the stock price, which
is determined by parameters such as risk free rate, time step and
the volatility of the stock price.
As at 31 December 2012, the fair value of these embedded
derivatives calculated using the binomial option pricing method
amounts to $3,508,458 (A$2,763,000). However this amount has not
been recorded as at 31 December 2012 as management has received in
writing from the holder the intention not to convert the warrants
and exercise the conversion option. Consequently, the fair value of
$1,177,377 (A$906,023) recorded as at 30 June 2012 was similarly
reversed in the current period.

10. Other reserves
(a) Capital reserve
This represents the gain or loss arising from purchase, sale,
issue or cancellation of treasury shares. No dividend may be paid,
and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the
Company's assets (including any distribution of assets to members
on a winding up) may be made in respect of this reserve.
(b) Warrant reserve
The Company has a warrant scheme under which options to
subscribe for the Company's ordinary shares have been granted to
the Directors and Executives of the Group for the purpose of
providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who have
contributed significantly to the growth and performance of the
Group.
Warrant reserve is made up of the cumulative fair values of the
warrants at grant date which are recognised over the vesting
period.
Movement of share warrants during the financial period
The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted
average exercise prices (WAEP) of, and movements in, share warrants
during the financial period:
No. WAEP

__________ ___________
- The weighted average fair value of the warrants granted during
the half year period was S$0.08.
- The weighted average share price at the date of exercise of
the warrant exercised during the financial period was S$0.51 (25.78
pence).
- The exercise price for warrant outstanding at the end of the year was S$0.51 (25.78 pence).
Fair value of warrants granted
The fair value of the warrants granted is estimated at the grant
date using a binomial option pricing model, taking into account the
terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.
The following table lists the inputs into the binomial option
pricing model for the six-months ended 31 December 2012:
Dividend yield 0%
Expected volatility 40%
Risk-free interest rate 0.35% per annum
Expected life of warrant 1.09 years
Weighted average share price 25.78 pence

(c) Foreign currency translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve represents exchange
differences arising from the translation of the financial
statements of foreign operations whose functional currencies are
different from that of the Group's presentation currency.
