PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

During the financial period the consolidated entity’s activities have been the provision of process engineering design and construction services to the mining and mineral processing industry and the provision of operations, maintenance and well management services to the oil and gas sector.

REVIEW OF RESULTS AND OPERATIONS

The operating profit after tax of the consolidated entity was $8,746,233 (HY15: $6,462,643). The EBITDA of the consolidated entity was $10,843,360 (HY15: $9,853,329).

Operationally, all projects advanced satisfactorily and the consolidated entity was successful in maintaining a record of no lost time injuries during the half.

HY16 saw heightened design and construction activity on predominantly Australian based projects. The largest of these projects is the engineering, procurement and construction works on the processing plant, paste fill plant and associated non-process infrastructure for Independence Group NL’s Nova Nickel Project. As at 31 December 2015, this project was over 30% complete and was progressing on time and on budget.

Work was completed on the construction of the MZI Resources Limited’s Mineral Sands Project. This project, which involved the construction of a wet concentrator plant located at the Keysbrook mine site and the expansion of an existing mineral separation plant located in Picton also progressed on time and on budget with practical completion being achieved in December 2015.

In July 2015 the consolidated entity entered into an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with Western Areas Limited in relation to its Forrestania Mill Recovery Enhancement Project. Engineering and design work on this project commenced immediately and is scheduled for completion in February 2016. Related construction work on this project has been deferred.

In August 2015 GR Engineering commenced early works on Doray Minerals Limited’s Deflector Project located near Gullewa Western Australia. Also executed under an EPC contract model, this project involves the design, construction and commissioning of 480ktpa gold-copper mineral processing facility and associated infrastructure. As at 31 December 2015 this project was approximately 74% completed and was progressing on time and on budget.

During HY16 GR Engineering continued to build on its international reputation by successfully executing design and construction engagements in a range of commodities and countries.

In the UK, operational control of the Hemerdon tungsten/tin plant was handed over to Wolf Minerals Limited in September 2015 and commissioning of the plant has commenced. As at 31 December, construction of the Hemerdon plant was complete save for work on peripheral and punch list items. With a value of GBP 75 million, this is the largest project executed by the consolidated entity to date and was delivered under an EPC contracting model.

In Indonesia, work continued on the Wetar Copper Project for PT Batutua Tembaga Raya pursuant to a contract awarded in November 2014 and in Greece, work commenced in September 2015 on Phase 2 of Hellas Gold SA’s Olympias Project. This project involves the design and construction of a 385ktpa gold, lead and zinc concentrator. Both the Wetar Copper Project and the Olympias Project are executed under engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contracting arrangements.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of GR Engineering Services Limited

Tel: +61 8 9365 7000 Fax: +61 8 9365 7001 www.deloitte.com.au

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of GR Engineering Services Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 6 to 16.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of GR Engineering Services Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of GR Engineering Services Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
