CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
It is with pleasure that I report to you on GR Engineering Services Limited’s (GR Engineering or the Company) performance for the year ended 30 June 2021 (FY21).
The FY21 year was an excellent year that was characterised by solid operational performance in challenging conditions given ongoing market volatility and the COVID-19 pandemic. GR Engineering successfully achieved multiple project completions during the year, and it is satisfying that these projects have further enhanced the Company’s reputation for reliability and dependability.
During FY21, GR Engineering achieved record revenue of $392.4 million and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $37.2 million. Pleasingly, Upstream Production Solutions Pty Ltd, Mipac Holdings Pty Ltd (Mipac) and Hanlon Engineering & Associates, Inc. contributed positively to this excellent result.
The Company has continued to increase its contracted and near term pipeline of future work and announced two important awards post year end, an EPC contract for the Thunderbox 6mtpa Expansion Project ($101 million) and a subcontractor agreement for the Newmont Tanami Gold Project ($68 million). GR Engineering continues to build its pipeline of work for FY22 and future years.
GR Engineering’s expertise across a broad range of commodities is also reflected in its study activity. GR Engineering’s study work during FY21 has exposure to multiple commodities including gold, copper, nickel, mineral sands, potash, battery minerals, alumina and lithium, with projects located in Australia and overseas.
In May 2021, GR Engineering acquired Mipac, a leading process controls engineering business. The acquisition is aligned to our strategic plan and enhances GR Engineering’s controls system design capabilities. We welcome the Mipac team and look forward to growing the business in the coming years.
During FY21, the Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate was 9.51. Regrettably, GR Engineering recorded one Lost Time Injury during FY21, after 1,257 days and in excess of 2.3 million hours worked. GR Engineering continues to strive for a zero harm work environment on all jobs and at all locations.

The Company continues to have a strong focus on cash collection and I was pleased that cash increased by 84% from $37.5 million at 30 June 2020 to $69.0 million at 30 June 2021.

The ex-dividend date for this dividend is 2 September 2021, the Record Date is 3 September 2021 and the Payment Date is 22 September 2021.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The year under review saw the consolidated entity achieve record revenue and EBITDA results for the consolidated group. During FY21, revenue increased significantly by 76.4% from $222.4 million to $392.4 million. GR Engineering achieved an FY21 EBITDA of $37.2 million compared to FY20 EBITDA (underlying) of $11.3 million. Underlying EBITDA in FY20 excluded debtor write-offs, miscellaneous inventory write-offs and acquisition related costs.
FY21 was a year that was characterised by solid operational performance in challenging conditions given the COVID-19 pandemic. During the period, GR Engineering successfully delivered multiple projects in Australia that were on time and on budget. GR Engineering has been successful in building its contracted and near term pipeline of work for FY22 and FY23. GR Engineering’s wholly owned subsidiary, Upstream Production Solutions Pty Ltd (Upstream PS) also achieved significant contract wins during FY21.
Through its operational performance, the consolidated entity also strengthened its balance sheet as net assets increased from $34.7 million to $51.6 million during FY21. GR Engineering continued to generate strong cash flows and as a result, cash at bank increased from $37.5 million at 30 June 2020 to $69.0 million at 30 June 2021.
GR Engineering has been proactive in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has implemented a range of protective and preventative measures. GR Engineering continues to manage equipment deliveries in line with project schedules despite delays in international shipping. COVID-19 has not had a material impact on the FY21 results.
During the year, GR Engineering announced the passing of one of its founding Directors, Barry Patterson, on 9 December 2020. Barry co-founded GR Engineering and was instrumental in establishing the core team of individuals in 1986 that took the business from its roots as JR Engineering Services, a Kalgoorlie based contractor, to the process design and construction group that we are today.

LONG TERM INCENTIVES
Equity Incentive Plan
The GR Engineering Services Limited 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (Plan) was adopted by the Board on 25 October 2019. In accordance with the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), shareholder approval of the Plan was obtained at the consolidated entity’s Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2019. 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. Eligible participants in the Plan include those defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (CO) or as determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
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 consolidated entity and therefore direct participation in the benefits of future consolidated entity performance over the medium to long term.
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 consolidated entity and vesting upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions; and
-
Share Appreciation Rights (SARs), being rights to receive a future payment in shares, based on the amount of increase in market value of one share in the consolidated entity 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 2021, a total of 4,955,000 Performance Rights were issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. A total of 4,645,000 Performance Rights were on issue as at 30 June 2021.

Management are currently undertaking an assessment of the impact of recently issued or amended standards an interpretations on the consolidated entity.
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.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the consolidated entity takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.

GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 CONTINUED
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
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.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the consolidated entity and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the consolidated entity and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the consolidated entity:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The consolidated entity reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the consolidated entity has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The consolidated entity considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the consolidated entity’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
-
the size of the consolidated entity’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
-
potential voting rights held by the consolidated entity, other vote holders or other parties;
-
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the consolidated entity has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the consolidated entity obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the consolidated entity loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the consolidated entity gains control until the date when the consolidated entity ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the consolidated entity and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the consolidated entity and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the consolidated entity’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the consolidated entity are eliminated in full on consolidation.

GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
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 exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. 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 GR Engineering Services (Greece) is Euro. The functional currency of GR Engineering Services Turkey is Turkish Lira. The functional currency of GR Engineering Services (Papua New Guinea) is Papua New Guinea Kina. The functional currency of other foreign 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 for the two segments: Mineral Processing and Oil & Gas.
Mineral Processing
The Mineral Processing segment includes Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) contracts and Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management (EPCM) Contracts.
In these contracts, the consolidated entity provides services comprising design and construction of minerals processing facilities and associated infrastructure for complete greenfields or brownfields projects including plant modifications, upgrades and expansions, plant evaluation and condition reports, plant operations and maintenance support and optimisation, plant relocation, refurbishment and recommissioning, and provision of owners representatives and teams for project management and delivery. Project management services also include project studies (concept through to bankable feasibility), engineering and procurement, construction and commissioning, asset management plans and system development, operations and technical support (audits, reviews and consulting), and infrastructure development.
EPC and EPCM contracts generally contain a single performance obligation because the activities are highly integrated with each other to represent the combined output for which the customer has contracted, and therefore are not distinct from one another. Additionally, whilst some of the services could be provided to the customer individually, this is not the business practice as customers engage the consolidated entity to provide a start to end service.
29
GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 CONTINUED
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The consolidated entity enters into lump sum contracts or guaranteed maximum price contracts. In some cases, variable consideration is present in the contract in the form of, for example, bonus payments or penalties based on performance, or variations. Where variable consideration is present in a contract, the constraint of estimates of variable consideration is applied as necessary by assessing the historical performance of the consolidated entity on similar contracts and consideration of factors that are outside the consolidated entity’s influence. Revenue for EPC and EPCM contracts is recognised over time because the performance creates and enhances an asset controlled by the customer as the work is performed. The asset is specific to the customer as it cannot be sold elsewhere or have another use, and the consolidated entity is entitled to payment for work performed. In recognising revenue over time, the consolidated entity measures the satisfaction of progress using cost as an input as cost faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer.
The consolidated entity enters into contracts for the sale of assets, where revenue is recognised over time because the performance creates and enhances an asset controlled by the customer, as the work is performed. The asset is specific to the customer, as it cannot be sold elsewhere or have an alternative use, and the consolidated entity is entitled to payment for work performed. In recognising revenue over time, the consolidated entity measures the satisfaction of progress using cost as an input, as cost faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer.
Oil & Gas
Oil and Gas contracts comprise the delivery of operations and maintenance, wellsites, engineering and production assurance services to the customer base. Under these contracts, the services provided is the provision of labour as well as the procurement of equipment for the customer on an as needs basis. These arrangements can be long or short term and are generally structured as an overarching master agreement, with individual work orders made by the customer. Each work order will specify the services to be performed. The combination of the master agreement and each work order forms the contract.
Each work order is deemed to be a contract and each work order is generally considered to be one performance obligation. These contracts do not have a fixed fee and the customer is charged based on the number of labour hours incurred, multiplied by agreed rates contained in the master agreement. Equipment may also be provided to customers which is charged on a recoverable basis as and when the equipment is procured and provided to the customer.
Revenue for contracts in this segment is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services being provided as they are performed. The consolidated entity will bill the client on a monthly basis based on hours incurred multiplied by the agreed rates or on a cost plus basis. This will also include any recoverable expenditure incurred for equipment provided in respect of that period. Therefore, the consolidated entity has a right to consideration from its customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the consolidated entity’s performance completed to date and hence the consolidated entity has decided to adopt the practical expedient of recognising revenue on a billings basis.
Tender costs
Tender costs are expensed as they are not incremental costs to obtaining the contract.
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.
Contract fulfilment costs
Significant costs incurred prior to the commencement of a contract may arise for example due to mobilisation / site setup costs and tender costs. These activities are costs incurred to fulfil a contract. Where these costs are expected to be recovered, they are capitalised and amortised over the course of the contract consistent with the transfer of a service to the customer. Where the costs, or a portion of these costs, are reimbursed by the customer, the amount received is recognised as deferred revenue and allocated to the performance obligations within the contract and recognised as revenue over the course of the contract.
Loss making contracts
When it is probable that total contract costs for a project will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
30
GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Contract assets and liabilities
AASB 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’ to describe what is commonly known as ‘accrued revenue’ and ‘deferred revenue’. Contract receivables represent receivables in respect of which the consolidated entity’s right to consideration is unconditional subject only to the passage of time. Contract receivables are non-derivative financial assets accounted for in accordance with the consolidated entity’s accounting policy for financial assets set out in Note 23. Contract assets represent the consolidated entity’s right to consideration for services provided to customers for which the consolidated entity’s right remains conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities arise where payment is received prior to work being performed. Contract assets and contract liabilities are recognised and measured in accordance with this accounting policy.
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.
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.
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.

GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 CONTINUED
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated entity’s statement of financial position when the consolidated entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Classification of financial assets
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
-
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Despite the foregoing, the consolidated entity may make the following irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition of a financial asset:
-
the consolidated entity may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income if certain criteria are met; and
-
the consolidated entity may irrevocably designate a debt investment that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.
(i) Amortised cost and effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
For financial assets, the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
32
GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. For financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “Other income” line item (note 6).
(ii) Equity instruments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOTCI)
On initial recognition, the consolidated entity may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
-
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the consolidated entity manages together and has evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss is not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it is transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
The consolidated entity has designated all investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading as at FVTOCI on initial application of AASB 9 (see note 13).
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. Specifically:
-
Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the consolidated entity designates an equity investment that is neither held for trading nor a contingent consideration arising from a business combination as at FVTOCI on initial recognition.
-
Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria are classified as at FVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that meet either the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (so called ‘accounting mismatch’) that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The consolidated entity has not designated any debt instruments as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in ‘Other income’ (note 6).

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, trade receivables and contract assets. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
Financial assets other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment 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.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
For financial instruments, the consolidated entity recognises lifetime expected credit loss (ECL) when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the consolidated entity measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.
Derecognition of financial assets
The consolidated entity derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the consolidated entity neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the consolidated entity recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the consolidated entity retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the consolidated entity continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. In addition, on derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument classified as at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. In contrast, on derecognition of an investment in equity instrument which the consolidated entity has elected on initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.
Financial liabilities and equity
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the consolidated entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the consolidated entity’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the consolidated entity’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
-
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the consolidated entity manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
-
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the consolidated entity’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
-
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in ‘Other income’ (note 6) in profit or loss.
However, for financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. The remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognised in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk that are recognised in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss; instead, they are transferred to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The consolidated entity derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the consolidated entity’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
When the consolidated entity exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the consolidated entity accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification should be recognised in profit or loss as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses.
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.
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.

GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Leases
The consolidated entity assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The consolidated entity recognises as a right of use asset and a corresponding liability at the date on which the leased asset is available for use by the consolidated entity, except for short term or low value leases. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period, so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis of the lease payments.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used being the rate the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Lease liabilities include the value of the following lease payments, where applicable:
-
Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
-
Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
-
Amounts expected to be payable by the lease under residual value guarantees;
-
The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and
-
Payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease liabilities are presented in borrowings in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The consolidated entity remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset) whenever:
-
The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances;
-
The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payments under a guaranteed residual value;
-
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The consolidated entity did not make any such adjustments during the current period.
The right of use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured as cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
The right of use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight line basis. The lease term is the current contracted lease term and the term of any lease extension option where there is a likelihood that the option to extend the lease will be exercised. The right of use assets are presented in property, plant and equipment in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The consolidated entity applies AASB 136 Impairment of Assets to determine whether a right of use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the policies under “Impairment of non-financial assets”.
The consolidated entity applies the short-term lease recognition exemption (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered low value (i.e. below $5,000). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
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.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered.
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.
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.
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.
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 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the consolidated entity, liabilities incurred by the consolidated entity to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interest issued by the consolidated entity in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes and AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
When the consideration transferred by the consolidated entity in a business combination includes a deferred consideration arrangement, the deferred consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in fair value of the deferred consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the deferred consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the deferred consideration is classified. Deferred consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Other deferred consideration is remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the consolidated entity reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.
Goodwill
Goodwill is initially recognised and measured as set out above.
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the consolidated entity’s cash-generating units (or consolidated entity of cash- generating units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
On disposal of a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Intangibles
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are recognised initially at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
Derecognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
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.
Revenue recognition, contract assets and liabilities
Where the outcome of a mineral processing 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 contract assets.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Warranties
Because the consolidated entity predominantly undertakes projects on an Engineering, Procurement & Construction 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 of 3% of the project costs, or such other amount as assessed by management having regard to specific project requirements.

NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
Trade and other receivables and contract assets
As disclosed in the accounting policies in Note 2, an estimate of expected credit losses in respect of trade and other receivables is regularly made. Bad debts are written off when identified. The allowance for expected credit losses requires significant estimation and judgement. The Directors and management utilise the most recent available information available to them such as the aging of the receivable, historical experience with the customer, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtor situations to make their estimation of the recoverability of trade receivables and contract assets. Included in past due but not impaired balances, are situations whereby the consolidated entity will from time to time enter into payment plans with customers for commercial reasons. These payment plans entered into will normally extend the credit terms provided to the customer. In such situations, management exercise their judgement to determine their estimated recovery and whether any loss allowance is required to be recognised in respect of the individual debtor and any associated contract asset. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the consolidated entity has been assessed and it has not affected the recoverability of any trade receivables or contract assets.
When the assessment is made that there is an expected credit loss to be incurred, a loss allowance will be raised against a debtor and any contract asset to account for this expected loss. Where the estimation is different to actual results, carrying amounts are adjusted in the next financial period.
Lease term
The management has exercised their judgement in the determination of the lease term. Management have considered extension options under their lease agreements and if it is reasonably certain that these options will be exercised, an extended lease term will be assumed.
Impairment testing
The consolidated entity assesses for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists for a cash generating unit that has goodwill allocated, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in use-calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates such as growth rates, discount rates and EBITDA margins.
Useful lives of intangible assets
The useful life of customer assets and intellectual property assets acquired in business combinations are assessed at the time of acquisition. This requires estimation and judgement relating the length of time assets will be required to be replaced and the benefit to be derived from the relationships. Amortisation of these assets is based on the useful life assigned at acquisition and amortised based on a straight line basis of the estimated useful life as assigned on acquisition.

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 Managing Director. 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 Managing Director has chosen to classify the operations of the consolidated entity by reference to presence in an industry. The segments identified on this basis are “mineral processing” and “oil and gas”.

There is no loss allowance recognised for contract assets. The consolidated entity always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance of 100% against all receivables over 120 days past due because historical experience has indicated that these receivables are generally not recoverable. In certain circumstances, arrangements are agreed to with customers for commercial reasons, which would extend this time period. An allowance for expected credit losses requires significant judgement and estimation on behalf of the directors and management, as described in note 3.
The consolidated entity provides for a trade receivable and contract assets when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier.
Bad debts written off during the year as uncollectable amount to $11,023 (2020: $17,660,944).

The ageing of the past due but not impaired receivables are as follows: 0 to 3 months overdue 3 to 6 months overdue Over 6 months overdue There are no overdue balances for contract assets. |

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.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the directors of the consolidated entity have elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at fair value through other comprehensive income as they believe that recognising short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the consolidated entity’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes and realising their performance potential in the long run.

Capital risk 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, and debt in the form of borrowings. The consolidated entity is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
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.
The carrying amounts in Australian dollars (AUD) of the consolidated entity’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows.
| Assets Liabilities 2021 AUD $ 2020 AUD $ 2021 AUD $ 2020 AUD $ |

Equity price risk
The consolidated entity is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments.
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure of the consolidated entity to a 5% increase or decrease in equity prices at the end of the reporting period.
- other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2021 would increase by $109,609 (2020: $263,138) as a result of an increase of 5% in equity prices, and decrease by $109,609 (2020: $263,138) as a result of a decrease of 5% in equity prices.
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.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The financial assets and liabilities of the consolidated entity are classified into these categories below:

NOTE 32. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued)
The initial accounting for the acquisition of Mipac Holdings Pty Ltd has only been provisionally determined at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of trade and other receivables amounts to $3,847,515. The gross amount of trade receivables is $3,847,515 and it is expected that the full contractual amounts can be collected.

GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021 81
CONTINUED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group’s cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report

Responsibilities
The directors of GR Engineering Services Limited are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

PRINCIPLE 1 – LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT (continued)
Recommendation 1.6
The Chair is responsible for evaluation of the Board and, when deemed appropriate, Board committees and individual directors. The Chair is also responsible for evaluating the Managing Director.
The Chair evaluates the performance of the Managing Director and other Board members through a series of discussions held throughout the year. These discussions include an assessment of the Company’s state of affairs, the risks facing the Company and its economic objectives. The Chair evaluates the extent to which each director has contributed to the efficient utilisation of resources, the identification of risk and the achievement of economic objectives. During these discussions the Chair also elicits confidential feedback from each Director on their view of the interpersonal dynamics between Board members and the quality of the Board’s decision making.
During the Reporting Period the Chair evaluated the performance of all Directors, including the Managing Director, in accordance with the above process.
Recommendation 1.7
The Managing Director is responsible for evaluating the performance of senior executives in accordance with the process disclosed in the Company’s Process for Performance Evaluations.
During the Reporting Period the Managing Director conducted performance evaluations of Senior Executives. Where these evaluations resulted in the identification of areas where the Senior Executive’s technical or interpersonal skills could be strengthened, appropriate training or remedial action was formulated and agreed.
PRINCIPLE 2 – STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE
Recommendation 2.1
The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee comprising Phillip Lockyer (Chair), Peter Hood and Joe Totaro. All members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are non-executive directors and all members are independent directors. Accordingly, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is structured in accordance with Recommendation 2.1.
The Board has adopted a Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and is disclosed on the Company’s website.
Recommendation 2.2
The Board is comprised of 4 qualified engineers and 1 qualified accountant. The matrix of skills held by the Board is weighted towards those skills which are required to identify, assess, quantify and manage those risks which are most relevant to and prevalent in the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates.
The majority of the Company’s directors hold, or have held, positions on the boards of other publicly listed companies and all have extensive experience in the management of organisations across a range of industries.
When necessary, the Board engages the services of external experts and consultants to augment its capacity to consider and assess matters which fall outside the domain of its collective expertise.
Recommendation 2.3
The Board considers the independence of directors having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.3 of the Principles & Recommendations. The independent directors of the Company are Messrs Lockyer, Hood and Totaro.
Mr Totaro is a substantial shareholder of the Company. Notwithstanding that he is a substantial shareholder the Board considers Mr Totaro to be an independent director because he is not a member of management and is otherwise free of any interest, position, association or relationship (including those listed in Box 2.3 of the Principles & Recommendations) that might influence in a material respect, his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and its members generally. Further, Mr Totaro’s interest as substantial shareholders is considered by the Board to be in line with the interests of all other shareholders.
The length of service of each director is set out in the Directors’ Report of the Company’s Annual Financial Report.

PRINCIPLE 2 – STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE (continued)
Recommendation 2.4
The Board has a majority of directors who are independent.
The Board is comprised of 5 directors, 3 of whom are or are deemed to be independent. The two non-independent directors are Tony Patrizi and Geoff Jones. Tony Patrizi is a founding shareholder of the Company and Geoff Jones has been employed by the Company since 2011, initially as Chief Operating Officer and since 1 July 2013, as Managing Director. Messrs Patrizi and Jones have thorough knowledge of the Company’s business and extensive experience in managing the risks it faces. Their continued presence on the Board is therefore highly valued.
The Board is of a size commensurate with the size and nature of the Company. Should the number of Board members increase, it is the intention of the Company to appoint an additional independent director thereby preserving a majority of independent directors.
Recommendation 2.5
The Chair of the Board is Phillip Lockyer. Mr Lockyer is an independent director and is not the Chief Executive Officer.
Recommendation 2.6
The Company has an induction program for new directors and senior executives. The goal of the program is to assist new directors to participate fully and actively in Board decision-making at the earliest opportunity and to assist senior executives to participate fully and actively in management decision-making at the earliest opportunity. The Company’s Induction Program is disclosed on the Company’s website.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee regularly reviews whether the directors as a group have the skills, knowledge and familiarity with the Company and its operating environment required to fulfil their role on the Board and the Board committees effectively using a Board skills matrix. Where any gaps are identified, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee considers what training or development should be undertaken to fill those gaps. In particular, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee ensures that any director who does not have specialist accounting skills or knowledge has a sufficient understanding of accounting matters to fulfil his or her responsibilities in relation to the Company’s financial statements. Directors also receive ongoing briefings from the Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer on developments in accounting standards.
PRINCIPLE 3 – ACT ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY
Recommendation 3.1

Recommendation 3.2

PRINCIPLE 7 – RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK (continued)
Recommendation 7.4
The Company provides engineering and construction services to the mining industry and operations and maintenance services to the oil and gas industry, including producers of coal seam gas. These activities expose the Company, directly and indirectly to environmental, social and economic sustainability risks, which may materially impact the Company’s ability to create or preserve value for shareholders over the short, medium or long term.
In relation to the provision of goods and services, these risks are mitigated by virtue of the Company entering a project’s life cycle at a stage where all environmental, social and economic requirements of the relevant jurisdiction have been met by the client. The Company does not provide goods and services in circumstances where this is not the case and to that extent, the Company is in a position to continue its business activities in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable manner.
In relation to the Company’s suppliers, the Company takes due care to ensure that the goods and services required for the conduct of its business are sourced from entities which act fairly and responsibly within the environments, societies and economies in which they operate thereby mitigating sustainability risks in relation to these factors.
The Company aims to operate in a socially sustainable way by engaging with the local communities and wherever possible providing employment and training opportunities to members of the local community. In doing so, the Company operates within the framework of local norms and customs and endeavours to ensure that its clients do likewise. The Company will not participate in any activity where it is likely to receive either directly or indirectly, economic benefit through the exploitation of others.
PRINCIPLE 8 – REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY
Recommendation 8.1
As noted above in relation to Recommendation 2.1, the Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Please refer to the disclosure above in relation to Recommendation 2.1 in relation to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
