DIRECTORS’ REPORT

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The financial year ended 30 June 2013 (FY13) was characterised by ongoing softness and volatility in commodity prices. Cost cutting measures and capital investment deferrals by miners across all commodities created reduced business opportunities for the mining services sector generally. The gold price, which had seen many years of steady growth, suffered a marked decline in April 2013, resulting in project cancellations and creating uncertainty for other projects which were scheduled for near term commencement. In response, the Company implemented a range of cost cutting measures including a reduction in staff numbers, pay rates and overhead expenditure. The objective of these measures is to retain market competitiveness and maintain the strength of the Company’s Balance Sheet.

As at 30 June 2013, the Company had a workforce comprising 212 professional and support staff in addition to a direct construction workforce and subcontractors. This is a reduction of 14.2% from peak staffing numbers in FY13 and an increase of 5% from FY12.

Despite a difficult year brought about by the commodity price volatility and resulting project deferrals, it is pleasing to report that GR Engineering continued to engage in project and study work and that our primary and direct responsibility, being the occupational health and safety of our employees, was once again met with outstanding results. FY13 was the third consecutive year during which the Company did not incur a Lost Time Injury (LTI), bringing the cumulative total of consecutive LTI free days to 1099 as at 30 June 2013.

The year saw the successful delivery and commencement of projects and studies located in Australia and overseas, including:

  • the design, construction and commissioning of the Andy Well Gold Project for Doray Minerals Limited, located near Meekatharra in Western Australia;

  • the design construction and commissioning of brownfields upgrade projects for Newcrest Mining Limited at Telfer, Western Australia;

  • the design, construction and commissioning of a brownfields upgrade project in Whyalla, South Australia, due for completion in December 2013;

  • the design and construction management of the Syama Expansion Project for Resolute Mining Limited, located in Mali, West Africa, due for completion in mid-2014; and

  • the design, construction and commissioning of the £75 million Hemerdon Tungsten and Tin Project processing plant and associated infrastructure for Wolf Minerals (UK) Limited, located in Devon, England, due for completion in mid-2015.

As at year end all projects on hand were progressing on time and on budget.

All EPC projects delivered during FY13 were completed on time and on budget and collectively contributed to an improvement in margins, particularly in the second half. As in prior years, repeat business made an important contribution to business activity in FY13, again underlining GR Engineering’s reputation for dependability in delivering projects and services to the satisfaction of the client.

The Company‘s EPCM activity made a strong contribution to revenue and earnings during FY13. Importantly, the EPCM engagements related to projects located in Africa and Asia, underscoring the successful implementation of the Company’s strategy of growth through geographical expansion. While the Company’s business model and focus will continue to centre on winning and delivering projects on an EPC basis, it has demonstrated a capacity to deploy EPC engineering and financial disciplines to EPCM project delivery. This approach has been successfully applied to project delivery

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

in jurisdictions that are better suited to an EPCM model, rather than GR Engineering’s traditional EPC contracting model.

During FY13, the Company commenced or completed studies and consultancy work for a range of projects across a broad commodity base. These engagements related to projects in Australia, West Africa, Turkey and Laos. Successfully completing studies and front end engineering engagements remains a priority to securing a pipeline of design and construction activity. Management remains alert to tender opportunities and continues to pursue a range of studies and design and construction engagements for both domestic and overseas projects.

FINANCIAL POSITION

GR Engineering generated revenue of $114.7 million and net operating cashflow of $5.5 million for the year ended 30 June 2013.

During the year the Company paid $9.0 million in fully franked dividends and held cash, including term deposits to secure contingent liabilities under its bank guarantee facilities of $34.5 million as at 30 June 2013, a decrease of $4.4 million over cash held as at the close of the previous financial year.

GROWTH STRATEGY

Looking ahead, the Company’s strategy is to secure organic growth through winning and successfully executing EPC and EPCM projects and pursuing overseas opportunities. Tangible evidence of the successful implementation of this strategy was the award of offshore engagements in FY13 and has helped support the Company during a time of weaker trading conditions in its traditional domestic markets.

GR Engineering’s growth strategy can only be implemented in the context of prevailing market conditions. As noted earlier, lower commodity prices and in particular the gold price have resulted in a contraction of capital expenditure and the deferral of projects by mining companies. GR Engineering remains confident of its ability to rely on its execution capabilities to deliver satisfactory outcomes in a challenging market environment.

While such market conditions persist, GR Engineering will preserve its financial resources, maintain its excellent market reputation through the timely and efficient delivery of projects and retain and continue to develop its valuable pool of human resources so as to avail itself of opportunities arising from an improvement in business conditions.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Increase to Insurance Bond Facility

On 24 January 2013 the Company entered into an agreement with Assetinsure Pty Ltd providing for an increase in the already established insurance bond facility from $10 million to $20 million.

Part of this facility will be utilised to provide Wolf Minerals (UK) Limited with retention and off site materials bonds in connection with the Hemerdon Tungsten & Tin Project.

Increase to Bank Guarantee Facility

On 28 November 2012 the Company entered into an agreement with National Australia Bank providing for an increase in the Company’s bank guarantee facility to $15 million secured by letters of set-off against cash term deposits equating to 50% of the amount of bank guarantees on issue at any given time.

Settlement of Legal Proceedings

On 10 October 2012 the Company announced that that it had reached agreement with Gold Ridge Mining Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of St Barbara Limited to settle on a full and final basis arbitration proceedings which were instigated by GR Engineering on 28 June 2011.

The arbitration proceedings comprised an initial debt recovery claim by GR Engineering on Gold Ridge Mining Limited of approximately $4.5 million and a counterclaim of approximately $45 million made by Gold Ridge Mining Limited on 18 May 2012.

Settlement was reached on the basis of a net payment of $2.65 million to GR Engineering. Settlement of this claim resulted in the write off of $906,933 in bad debts over and above the amount provided for.

Changes to the Board of Directors

As announced on 26 June 2013, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, Geoff Jones was appointed Managing Director, to replace Joe Ricciardo who moved into the position of Executive Chairman, effective 26 June 2013.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

REMUNERATION POLICY

The Company’s remuneration policy has been designed to attract and retain high calibre key employees whose personal interests are aligned with success and growth of the Company and therefore shareholders.

This will be achieved by:

  • Staying abreast of labour market forces thereby ensuring remuneration offered by the Company is competitive and remains so through a process of annual review.

GR Engineering’s Constitution provides that the Directors shall be paid out of the funds of the Company by way of remuneration for services such sums as may from time to time be determined by the Company in General Meeting, to be divided among the Directors in such proportions as they shall from time to time agree or in default of agreement, equally.

Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company to align their personal objectives with the growth and profitability of the Company.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

LONG TERM INCENTIVES

Employee Share Option Plan

The Company has established an employee share option plan ( ESOP ). The Company may offer options to subscribe for shares in the Company to eligible persons subject to the ESOP rules. Options offered under the ESOP are to be offered on such terms as the board determines and the offer must set out specified information including the number of options, the period of the offer, calculation of the exercise price and any exercise conditions.

The exercise price is to be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion and set out in the offer provided that the exercise price is not less than the average market price on ASX on the five trading days prior to the day the Directors resolve to grant the option(s).

The Company has on issue a total of 2,500,000 options to its Managing Director, Geoff Jones which were issued on 19 April 2011 and are subject to vesting criteria and the ESOP rules. A total of 500,000 of these options expired on 19 April 2013. Key elements of the Options are summarised in the following table:

Grant Date Vesting Date Date of Expiry Exercise Price Number Fair Value at
Grant Date
19 April 2011 19 April 2013 19 April 2014 $1.50 500,000 $0.2450
19 April 2011 19 April 2014 19 April 2015 $1.80 750,000 $0.2400

Equity Incentive Plan

The GR Engineering Services Limited Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ) was adopted by the Board on 28 March 2012. In accordance with the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), shareholder approval of the Plan was obtained at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2012. Under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the issue of securities under the Plan to directors will be subject to separate shareholder approval. As at the date of this report, no securities have been issued to Directors of the Company.

At the discretion of the Board, all eligible employees of the Company or eligible consultant s may participate in the Plan. Non-executive directors are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

The Plan is designed to align the interests of executives and employees with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity to receive an equity interest in the Company and therefore direct participation in the benefits of future Company performance over the medium to long term.

17

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

This is achieved by awarding both or either:

  • Performance Rights (PR), with each PR being a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share of the Company and vesting upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions; and

  • Share Appreciation Rights (SARs), being rights to receive a future payment in shares, equal to the amount of increase in market value of one share in the Company in a specified period between the grant of the SAR and exercise of that SAR.

Securities issued under the Plan will be subject to vesting criteria as determined by the Board and have a term of 3 years (or such term as otherwise agreed by the Board).

During the year ended 30 June 2013 2,315,000 Performance Rights were issued, with 240,000 subsequently being forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. 2,075,000 performance rights were on issue as at 30 June 2013. No Share Appreciation Rights were issued during the year.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION POLICY

The table below sets out summary information about the Company’s earnings and movements in shareholder wealth for the 5 years to 30 June 2013:

2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Revenue ($000’s) 79,074 128,217 142,512 152,838 114,695
Net profit before tax ($000’s)
22,111
24,427 29,247 19,858 11,476
Net profit after tax ($000’s) 15,471 17,836 21,098 13,115 7,539
Share Price at year end N/A N/A $1.95 $0.90 $0.46
Dividend ($000’s) 11,000 15,000 19,000 12,000 9,000
EPS (cents) 12.9 14.9 16.76 8.74 5.03
Diluted EPS (cents) 12.9 14.9 16.75 8.74 4.97

For comparative purposes, the number of shares assumed to be on issue for the financial year ended 30 June 2009 is 120 million. This period is prior to a share split performed at the time the Company listed in April 2011, which resulted in the issue of a further 30 million shares.

Messrs Ricciardo and Patrizi, both Executive Directors of the Company, a Non-Executive Director, two senior executives and four key employees hold significant shareholdings in the Company. As a result the performance of the Company and the personal and financial interest of its executive and management team are aligned.

The Company has issued options to its Managing Director Geoff Jones which are designed to incentivise the Managing Director and align his interests with those of all shareholders.

The ESOP and Plan have been adopted by the Company and will be implemented as the Nomination and Remuneration Committee identify the need to remunerate either existing or future employees, key employees, executives or executive directors on a performance basis.

This marks the end of the remuneration report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 1. General information

The financial report covers GR Engineering Services Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of GR Engineering Services Limited and the entities it controlled during the year. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is GR Engineering Services Limited's functional and presentation currency.

The financial report consists of the financial statements, notes to the financial statements and the directors' declaration.

GR Engineering Services Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business are:

Registered office Principal place of business 71-73 Daly Street 179 Great Eastern Highway BELMONT WA 6104 BELMONT WA 6104

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial report.

The financial report was authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 21 August 2013. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial report.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to their operations and are effective for the current financial reporting period beginning 1 July 2012.

The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current period and have affected the amounts reported in these financial statements:

  • AASB 2011-9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income’

From 1 July 2012, the Consolidated Entity applied amendments to AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income’ outlined in AASB 2011-9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income’. The change in the accounting policy only relates to disclosures and has had no impact on the earnings of the Consolidated Entity. The changes have been applied retrospectively and require the Consolidated Entity to separately present those items of other comprehensive income that maybe reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that will never be reclassified to profit or loss. These changes have been included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated entity is a for-profit entity.

Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the company and the consolidated entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

Basis of preparation

Historical cost convention

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain non-current assets and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Accounting for Construction Contracts

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.

Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Where construction contracts are still in the completion stage, they are included as work in progress.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of GR Engineering Services Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. GR Engineering Services Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The effects of potential exercisable voting rights are considered when assessing whether control exists. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director of the consolidated entity.

Foreign currency translation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is GR Engineering Services Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The functional currency of GR Engineering Services (UK) Limited is Great British pounds. The functional currency of all other subsidiaries of the consolidated entity is United States dollars.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Sales revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion.

Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Income tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of profit or loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The consolidated entity’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for the financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

  • except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Income tax (continued)

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Unearned income

Unearned income classified as a current liability consists of customer advances for construction work in progress. The consolidated entity recognises a liability upon receipt of customer advances and then subsequently recognised as revenue when earned.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. For unlisted investments, the consolidated entity establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Investments and other financial assets (continued)

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.

The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been recognised had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

  • Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: - Property, plant and equipment - over 2.5 to 20 years

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss in the cost of sales line item.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued used of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of profit or loss in the period the item is derecognised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases

Finance leases, which transfer to the consolidated entity substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as the lease income.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the consolidated entity makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised and as well as through the amortisation process.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Where the consolidated entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Employee benefits (continued)

Share-based payments

Share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the share based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the consolidated entity revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

Share based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of GR Engineering Services Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

De-recognition of financial instruments

The de-recognition of a financial instrument takes place when the consolidated entity no longer controls the contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument, which is normally the case when the instrument is sold, or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed through to an independent third party.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.

Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Where construction contracts are still in the completion stage, they are included as work in progress.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Because the consolidated entity predominantly undertakes projects on an Engineering, Procurement & Construction (“EPC”) turnkey design and construction contract basis, all the risk associated with cost, time, plant performance and plant warranty (defects period) rests with the consolidated entity. As such the consolidated entity is responsible for the total “make-good” of any defects of underperformance.

The consolidated entity includes a project completion and close out provision (liability) in design and construction project cost forecast reports, nominally being 3% of the project costs. This percentage has been assessed based on management’s best estimate.

Note 4. Operating segments

Operating segments have been identified on the basis of internal reports of the consolidated entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors. On a regular basis, the board receives financial information on a company basis similar to the financial statements presented in the financial report, to manage and allocate their resources.

  • The consolidated entity holds $18,266,375 (2012: $5,035,260) in term deposits to secure bank guarantees for current projects. The term deposits remain in place for the life of the projects so although they are cash balances they are classified as other receivables. Of this amount, $13,231,115 relates to a project to be completed in the 2014-2015 financial year so this term deposit is classed as non-current (2012: nil).

A summary of term deposits held for project security is as follows:

Bad debts written off during the year as uncollectable amount to $906,933 (2012: nil)

Past due but not impaired

Customers with balances past due but without provision for impairment of receivables amount to $956,129 as at 30 June 2013 ($5,147,472 as at 30 June 2012).

The reduction in this balance is predominantly due to the settlement of legal proceedings with Gold Ridge Mining Limited. Settlement involved a net payment of $2,650,000 to the consolidated entity and a write off of $906,933 in bad debts over and above the amount provided for doubtful debts ($1,525,000).

The ageing of the past due but not impaired receivables are as follows:

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the consolidated entity considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.

Ordinary shares

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.

Changes to the Corporation Law abolished the authorised capital and par value concept in relation to share capital from 1 July 1998. Therefore, the consolidated entity does not have a limited amount of authorised capital and issued shares do not have a par value.

Note 22. Financial instruments (continued)

Capital Management

The consolidated entity manages its capital to ensure the ability to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders. The capital structure of the consolidated entity consists of equity in the form of issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. There is no requirement for borrowings at this stage, as there are sufficient reserves of cash balances.

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The consolidated entity and the parent entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and are exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

The consolidated entity holds a cash balance in United States dollars, this balance is translated into Australian dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at 30 June 2013 of AUD $1 = USD $0.91 (2012: nil). The following table details the consolidated entity’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the value of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar :

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The consolidated entity uses independent rating agencies, publicly available financial information and other trading records to rate its major customers. Legally binding contracts are entered into to determine payment terms in relation to major projects.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The consolidated entity does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties.

Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the consolidated entity’s short-, medium- and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Note 31. Share-based payments

The consolidated entity has established an employee share option plan named the GR Engineering Services Limited Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP). The consolidated entity may offer options to subscribe for shares in the consolidated entity to eligible persons under the ESOP. Options offered under the employee share option plan are to be offered on such terms as the board determines and the offer must set out specified information including the number of options, the period of the offer, calculation of the exercise price and any exercise conditions.

The exercise price is to be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion and set out in the offer provided that the exercise price is not less than the average market price on ASX on the five trading days prior to the day the Directors resolve to grant the option(s).

The following equity based payment arrangements existed at 30 June 2013:

The consolidated entity has issued a total of 2,500,000 Options to its Chief Operating Officer, which confer the right of one ordinary share for every option held. These options have exercise conditions attached, whereby they will lapse if the employee ceases to become an eligible person, for any reason other than a specified reason as outlined in the terms of the option. On 19 April 2013, 500,000 of these options expired.

Set out below are summaries of options granted under the plan:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

GR Engineering Services Ltd (" the Company ") has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs. To the extent they are applicable, the Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (“ Principles & Recommendations ”) as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.

A summary of the Company's corporate governance practices is set out below.

Summary of Board Charter

The role of the Board is to provide leadership for and supervision of the Company’s senior management. The Board provides the strategic direction of the Company and regularly measures the progression by senior management of that strategic direction. The Board is responsible for promoting the success of the Company through its oversight role. The Board also reviews the Company's policies on risk oversight and management, internal compliance and control, its Code of Conduct, and legal compliance. There are mechanisms in place so that the Board can satisfy itself that senior management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control in relation to financial reporting risk and material business risk. The Board monitors and reviews senior management's performance and implementation of strategy.

The Board Charter also sets out quantitative and qualitative materiality thresholds.

The Board delegates to senior management the responsibility of the day-to-day activities in fulfilling the Board's responsibility. Senior executives are responsible for supporting the Managing Director and assisting the Managing Director in the running of the general operations and financial business of the Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board.

Senior executives are responsible for reporting all matters which fall within the Company's materiality thresholds at first instance to the Managing Director or, if the matter concerns the Managing Director then directly to the Chair or the lead independent Director, as appropriate.

The Board Charter describes the division of responsibilities between the Chair, the lead independent Director and the Managing Director.

The role of non-executive and independent directors is also set out in the Board Charter.

Summary of Audit and Risk Committee Charter

The role of the audit and risk committee is to monitor and review the integrity of the financial reporting of the Company and to review significant financial reporting judgments. The audit and risk committee is also to review the Company’s internal financial control system and risk management systems and to monitor, review and oversee the external audit function.

The audit and risk committee has the power to conduct or authorise investigations into any matters within the audit and risk committee's scope of responsibilities. The audit and risk committee has the authority, as it deems necessary or appropriate, to retain independent legal, accounting or other advisors.

The audit and risk committee also assesses whether external reporting is consistent with audit and risk committee members' information and knowledge and is adequate for shareholder needs and assesses the management processes supporting external reporting.

Summary of Nomination Committee Charter

The role of the nomination committee is to effectively examine the selection and appointment practices of the Company. The nomination committee regularly reviews the size and composition of the Board and makes recommendations to the Board on any appropriate changes. The nomination committee identifies and assesses necessary and desirable Director competencies with a view to enhancing the Board.

69

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

==> picture [171 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The nomination committee also regularly reviews the time required from non-executive Directors and whether non-executive Directors are meeting that requirement.

Initial Director appointments are made by the Board. Any new Director will be required to stand for election at the Company's next annual general meeting following their appointment.

Summary of Remuneration Committee Charter

The function of the remuneration committee is to review and make appropriate recommendations on remuneration packages of executive Directors, non-executive Directors and senior executives. The remuneration committee is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans, including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.

Summary of Remuneration Policy

Emoluments of Directors and senior executives are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference to the skills and experience of the Directors and executives.

The Company’s policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at a fixed fee for time, commitment and responsibilities. Remuneration for non-executive Directors is not linked to individual performance. This policy is subject to annual review. From time to time, and subject to obtaining the relevant approvals, the Company may grant options to non-executive Directors. The grant of options is designed to recognise and reward efforts as well as to provide non-executive Directors with additional incentive to continue those efforts for the benefit of the Company.

Executive pay and reward consists of a base salary and performance incentives. Long term performance incentives may include options granted at the discretion of the Board and subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory and shareholder approvals. The grant of options is designed to recognise and reward efforts as well as to provide additional incentive and may be subject to the successful completion of performance hurdles.

Executives are prohibited from entering into transactions or arrangements which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements.

Summary of Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct sets out the principles and standards which the Board, management and employees of the Company are encouraged to strive towards when dealing with each other, shareholders, other stakeholders and the broader community.

The Company is to comply with all legislative and common law requirements which affect its business. The Company will deal with others in a way that is fair and will not engage in deceptive practices.

The Code of Conduct sets out directives for Directors, management and staff relating to conflicts of interests, protection of the Company's assets and confidentiality.

Summary of Policy and Procedure for Selection and (Re)Appointment of Directors

In considering new candidates, the nomination committee evaluates the range of skills, experience and expertise of the existing Board. In particular, the nomination committee is to identify the particular skills that will best increase the Board's effectiveness. In this process, consideration is also given to the balance of independent Directors on the Board, while reference is made to the Company's size and operations as they evolve from time to time. Any appointment made by the Board is subject to ratification by shareholders at the next general meeting.

All Directors are required to consider the number and nature of their directorships and calls on their time from other commitments.

Shareholders shall be informed of the names and details of candidates submitted for election as Directors, in order to enable shareholders to make an informed decision regarding the election.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Summary of Process for Performance Evaluation

The Chair evaluates the performance of the Board by way of an informal round-table discussion with all directors and through questionnaires completed by each director.

The Chair reviews the performance of the committees of the Board by way on an informal round-table discussion with all directors and through questionnaires completed by each director who is a member of the committee being evaluated.

Individual director's performance evaluations are completed by the Chair. The Chair meets with each individual director and reviews questionnaires completed by each director.

The Managing Director's performance evaluation is conducted by the Chair. The Chair conducts a performance evaluation of the Managing Director by way of meeting with the Managing Director and with an informal round-table discussion with all directors, and by reference to the Managing Director's key performance indicators which are set by the Nomination Committee.

The Managing Director reviews the performance of the senior executives. The Managing Director conducts a performance evaluation of the senior executives by way of on-going informal monitoring throughout each financial year and at an annual formal interview.

Summary of Policy for Trading in Company Securities

The Board has adopted a policy which prohibits dealing in the Company's securities by directors, officers, specified employees (including connected persons) and, contractors when those persons possess inside information. The policy also contains a blackout period within which directors, officers and employees are prohibited from trading. The policy prohibits short term or speculative trading of the Company's securities. Trading may be permitted in a blackout period in certain exceptional circumstances subject to obtaining prior written clearance. Directors, officers and specified employees are required to obtain clearance prior to trading at all times.

Summary of Diversity Policy

The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy which describes the Company's commitment to ensuring a diverse mix of skills and talent exists amongst its directors, officers and employees, to enhance Company performance. The Diversity Policy addresses equal opportunities in the hiring, training and career advancement of directors, officers and employees. The Diversity Policy outlines the process by which the Board will set measurable objectives to achieve the aims of its Diversity Policy. The Board is responsible for monitoring Company performance in meeting the Diversity Policy requirements, including the achievement of any diversity objectives.

Women comprise approximately 19% of the Company’s total workforce and approximately 14% of the Company’s professionally qualified personnel. Women are not represented in the Company’s senior executive team.

The Board recognises the under representation by women in its professional and executive workforce. Therefore and subject to identifying female candidates with the requisite qualifications and experience, it is the Board’s objective to improve on this percentage and if possible increase it to 15% by 30 June 2014.

The Company will continue to facilitate flexible working hours to enable all employees to meet ongoing training and education and in particular in enable female staff members to balance their professional and domestic commitments. This is an important element of the Company’s strategy of attracting more professionally qualified women to its workforce.

The Company listed on ASX in April 2011 after an exhaustive search for Board members of suitable skills, experience and qualifications. The Board is comprised of three male non-executive and three male executive directors. The Board recognises that it would be beneficial to have on its Board an independent female non-executive director to widen the Board’s skill set and to add experience and broadened perspective to the assessment of information and decision making. However, the

71

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

==> picture [171 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Company has not sought to expand its Board during the year under review and therefore has not sought candidates for any Board position.

Subject to the Company achieving this strategy for growth, the Board will identify a suitable candidate for an additional non-executive directorship. Consistent with its policy on gender diversity the Company will consider a female for this position provided that the appointment satisfies Board composition requirements at the time.

Summary of Compliance Procedures

The Board has adopted Compliance Procedures to assist it to comply with the Listing Rules disclosure requirements. Under the Compliance Procedures, a responsible officer is appointed who is primarily responsible for ensuring the Company complies with its disclosure obligations. The duties of the responsible officer are set out in the Compliance Procedures. The Compliance Procedures provide guidelines as to the type of information that needs to be disclosed and encourages thorough recording of disclosure decision making.

Summary of Risk Management Policy

The Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy. Under the policy, the Board delegates day-to-day management of risk to the Managing Director, with the assistance of senior management as required. The Policy sets out the role and accountabilities of the Managing Director. It also contains the Company's risk profile and describes some of the policies and practices the Company has in place to manage specific business risks.

The Managing Director is required to report on the progress of, and on all matters associated with risk management. The Managing Director is to report to the Board as to the effectiveness of the Company's management of its material business risks at least annually.

The Board is responsible for approving the Company's policies on risk oversight and management and satisfying itself at least annually that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control.

As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance structures will be given further consideration.

Recommendation 2.1: A majority of the board should be independent Directors.

Disclosure:

The Board has a majority of Directors who are independent.

The independent Directors of the Company are Peter Hood, Terrence Strapp and Barry Patterson (deemed independent).

The Board deems Barry Patterson to be an independent director notwithstanding his substantial shareholding in the Company because he is not a member of management and is otherwise free of any business or other relationship (including those referred to in Box 2.1 of the Principles & Recommendations and the Company's Policy on Assessing the Independence of Directors) that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of his judgment. Furthermore, Barry Patterson's interests as a major shareholder are considered by the Board to be in line with the interests of all other shareholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Disclosure:

A profile of each Director containing their skills, experience, expertise and term of office is set out in the Directors Report.

As noted above, the independent Directors of the Company are Peter Hood, Terrence Strapp and Barry Patterson (deemed independent). These directors are independent as they are non executive Directors who are not members of management and who are free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of their judgement.

Independence is measured having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.1 of the Principles & Recommendations and the Company's materiality thresholds.

To assist Directors with independent judgement, it is the Board's policy that if a Director considers it necessary to obtain independent professional advice to properly discharge the responsibility of their office as a Director then, provided the Director first obtains approval for incurring such expense from the Chair, the Company will pay the reasonable expenses associated with obtaining such advice.

The Board has established a Nomination Committee. Barry Patterson (chair), Peter Hood, Terrence Strapp and Joe Ricciardo are members of the Nomination Committee. The Company's Nomination Committee Charter is summarised above in the section titled "Summary of Nomination Committee Charter."

Performance evaluations of the Board, its Committees and the Directors will be conducted from time to time in accordance with the Company's Process for Performance Evaluation.

In determining candidates for the Board, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) follows a prescribed procedure summarised in the section titled "Summary of Policy and Procedure for Selection and (Re)Appointment of Directors" above.

The Board recognises that Board renewal is critical to performance and the impact of Board tenure on succession planning. Each director other than the Managing Director, must not hold office (without reelection) past the third annual general meeting of the Company following the Director's appointment or three years following that Director's last election or appointment (whichever is longer). However, a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the Company. At each annual general meeting a minimum of one director or a third or the total number of Directors must resign. A Director who retires at an annual general meeting is eligible for re-election at that meeting. Re-appointment of Directors is not automatic.

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making

Recommendation 3.1: Companies should establish a Code of Conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company's integrity, the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders and the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.
