MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

I am delighted to announce Monadelphous Group Limited has reported another record sales and earnings result for the year ended 30 June 2011, highlighting the dedication and significant contribution made by our people.

Sales revenue for the year was $1,444 million, up 13.2 per cent. Growth was achieved across all three operating divisions and in all markets – resources, energy and infrastructure. Continued strengthening of the resources and energy markets and significant scope growth on a number of major projects contributed to the strong result.

Strong operational performance delivered a healthy earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) margin of 10.6 per cent.

Net profit after tax was a record $95.1 million, up 14.2 per cent. This represents the Company’s tenth consecutive year of earnings growth. Earnings per share increased by 12.4 per cent to 108.8 cents.

The Board of Directors has declared a final dividend of 55 cents per share fully franked, up 14.6 per cent on the previous year. This takes the full-year dividend to 95 cents per share fully franked, a 14.5 per cent increase on the previous year.

Monadelphous’s balance sheet remained robust with a net cash position of $129.5 million at year-end, resulting from a continued strong cash conversion rate.

Monadelphous continued to win work with approximately $650 million in new contracts and contract extensions secured during 2010/11 and a further $350 million awarded subsequent to the reporting period.

The Company maintained an increasing focus on its goal of zero harm with ongoing investment in health and safety management. The implementation of the Company-wide safety leadership program continued with the rollout of “ The Safe Way is the Only Way ” policy message, a powerful directive that underpins safety culture across the Group.

The total case injury frequency rate (TCIFR) was 8.83 incidents per million hours worked and the lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) improved to 0.16 incidents per million hours worked.

Monadelphous maintained its strong reputation for the safe and reliable delivery of multidisciplinary services on large-scale construction and maintenance projects. Excellent progress was made towards the Company’s long-term strategic objective of establishing and maintaining a leadership position in core resources and energy markets and expanding into the infrastructure market.

Onshore pipeline constructor KT Pty Ltd, (trading as KT Pipeline Services), was successfully acquired and integrated within the group’s Infrastructure division. On 5 July 2011, Monadelphous purchased asset management company PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd. The business operates two long-term contracts which will strengthen Monadelphous’s operation and maintenance capabilities and expand its infrastructure services into the power sector.

The total workforce at year-end was 5,649, up 4 per cent on 12 months earlier. Employee numbers were supported by intensifying the domestic and international recruitment campaign to attract people who will contribute to the Company’s continued success and meet increasing resource requirements. Other initiatives included the redevelopment of the careers website, an increased graduate intake, a focus on Indigenous participation and an Employee Benefits Program. Overall, these initiatives are expected to impact positively on employee recruitment and retention.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S REPORT (continued)

The Monadelphous Integrated Learning Centre at the University of Western Australia (UWA) was opened officially in April 2011. The world-class facility is part of UWA’s Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics and is designed to support the development of more job-ready engineers. Monadelphous, along with other industry leaders, is also a sponsorship partner of Curtin University’s new Engineering Pavilion.

While the Queensland cyclone and floods and the Christchurch earthquake did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations, they affected many people, including some employees and their families. Monadelphous, its directors and employees donated more than $100,000 to the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief appeal.

Further development and enhancement of Monadelphous’s risk management framework occurred during the year. This framework provides the processes and tools to manage risks across the business in working towards achieving the Company’s vision.

The Company also formally established an internal group assurance function to provide independent and objective assurance to the Board that Monadelphous is operating within acceptable risk tolerance levels. In addition to services designed to add value and improve operations, the function focuses on ensuring the group’s systems of internal control are operating effectively, efficiently and as designed.

Engineering Construction

The Engineering Construction division achieved record sales revenue of $929.8 million, an increase of 10.2 per cent on the previous year.

The result reflected a healthy workload entering the financial year, combined with strong performance and significant scope growth on a number of major construction contracts.

Monadelphous was a key provider of engineering construction services on Woodside’s Pluto LNG Project. This involvement has provided the platform for the further development of the Company’s expertise in LNG construction and commissioning. The award of additional works and a new contract to provide mechanical commissioning support for Woodside at the Pluto LNG Plant endorses this capability. Monadelphous is now established as a major participant in the construction and commissioning of largescale projects for LNG customers.

Major projects undertaken during the year included:

  • Structural, mechanical, electrical and piping works associated with Rio Tinto’s Brockman 4 Project at Brockman in Western Australia (WA);

  • Structural, mechanical and piping works for BHP Billiton at Yandi Hub in WA;

  • Structural, mechanical, electrical and piping works for BHP Billiton Worsley Alumina’s Efficiency and Growth Project at Collie in WA;

  • Structural, mechanical and piping works associated with Woodside’s Pluto LNG Project at Karratha in WA;

  • Installation of a new automated alumina delivery system and associated infrastructure for Boyne Smelters at Gladstone in Queensland (Qld);

  • Mechanical and electrical instrumentation works for Boyne Smelters at Gladstone in Qld; and

  • Ball mill structural and mechanical works for MCC at CITIC Pacific Mining’s Sino Iron operation at Cape Preston in WA.

The division invested in plant and equipment and specialist personnel to further develop its heavy-lift capability. This has enhanced the division’s ability to deliver on-site installation of pre-assembled modules on large-scale projects.

3

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S REPORT (continued)

During the year, the division was awarded more than $260 million in new projects. These included:

  • Structural and mechanical works for BHP Billiton at the Finucane Island iron ore port facilities in WA;

  • Structural and mechanical shutdown works for BHP Billiton at Nelson Point in WA;

  • Train load out facility for BHP Billiton at Yandi Hub in WA;

  • Structural and mechanical works at Newcrest Mining’s Cadia East Project at Orange in New South Wales (NSW);

  • Structural, mechanical and piping works for MCC at CITIC Pacific Mining’s Sino Iron Project at Cape Preston in WA;

  • Structural and mechanical works for Rio Tinto at its iron ore port facility at Cape Lambert in WA; and

  • Electrical and instrumentation installation for Newcrest Lihir Gold Limited at the Million Ounce Plant Upgrade Project at Lihir Island, in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

In August 2011, subsequent to the reporting period, the division secured four new contracts with key customers in the Queensland coal industry.

These included two contracts totalling approximately $100 million for civil, structural, mechanical and electrical work to supply and install ore handling and conveyor facilities associated with the extension project at the Rio Tinto Coal Australia-managed Kestrel Mine in Queensland.

The division was also awarded two contracts with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance’s (BMA) Project Delivery Group for ongoing construction work on various sites in the northern region of the Bowen Basin over two years.

Maintenance and Industrial Services

The Maintenance and Industrial Services division achieved record sales revenue of $401.3 million, an increase of 6.7 per cent on the previous corresponding year.

During the year, the division was awarded more than $220 million in new contracts and contract extensions. Major new contract wins included a three-year sustaining capital works contract for Queensland Alumina Limited in Queensland and an initial one-year maintenance services contract with Rio Tinto Dampier Salt in Western Australia.

Major service contract extensions included:

  • A three-year contract extension with Oil Search for multidisciplinary maintenance and construction services, including additional associated gas works for the LNG project, in PNG;

  • A three-year contract extension to provide support to BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam copper-uranium operation in South Australia (SA); and

  • A one-year extension of a general services contract with Chevron (WA Oil) at Barrow Island in WA.

In August 2011, subsequent to the reporting period, the division secured a three-year contract valued at approximately $100 million with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) to undertake dragline and shovel shutdown work across its Bowen Basin coal operations.

Also in August 2011, the division was awarded a new three-year contract to provide minor capital project services for BHP Billiton Worsley Alumina’s Refinery Project at Collie in Western Australia. The contract formally extends a continuous service relationship with Worsley Alumina which commenced in 2004.

The Maintenance and Industrial Services division was named the winner of the Rio Tinto Iron Ore Supplier of the year award for excellence in the category of Construction and Maintenance. This was a highlight of the reporting period and testament to the quality of services provided by Monadelphous.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S REPORT (continued)

Infrastructure

The Infrastructure division delivered sales revenue of $157.8 million in its inaugural financial year resulting in growth on a like for like basis of 167.0%.

The inception of the division on 1 July 2010 consolidated a portfolio of businesses in water, transmission pipelines, solid waste management (through a joint venture with AnaeCo) and aviation support services. The division’s formation reflects the successful execution of Monadelphous’s diversification strategy that has occurred through organic growth and acquisition in selected infrastructure segments. The acquisition of PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd (renamed Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd) will expand infrastructure services to the power sector.

Major infrastructure projects substantially complete include:

  • Design, supply, commissioning and maintenance of reverse osmosis water treatment systems for Chevron Australia’s Gorgon LNG project at Barrow Island in WA;

  • Civil, structural, mechanical and electrical works for the Nambucca Heads Sewage Treatment Plant and associated infrastructure for the Nambucca Shire Council in NSW;

  • Construction of the Burpengary East Sewage Treatment Plant Upgrade for Unity Water in Qld; and

  • Construction of the Cowra Sewage Augmentation Project for Cowra Shire Council in NSW.

During the year the division was awarded $170 million in new infrastructure contracts. These included:

  • Pipes, cables and tubes project for Chevron Australia’s Gorgon LNG Project at Barrow Island in WA;

  • Construction of intake and outfall pipelines for the desalination plant with Sino Iron at CITIC Pacific Mining’s Sino Iron Project at Cape Preston in WA;

  • Construction of a new waste water treatment plant at Iluka for the Clarence Valley Council in NSW;

  • Supply and construction of a new waste water treatment facility for the Water Corporation at Picton, near Bunbury in WA; and

  • Design and construction, with joint venture partner AnaeCo, of the Stage 2 expansion of the DiCOM bioconversion waste processing facility for Western Metropolitan Regional Council at Shenton Park in WA.

Following the acquisition of KT Pipeline Services, Monadelphous made a significant investment in specialised pipeline equipment to support future growth.

The Company’s aviation support services business, Skystar Airport Services, continued to grow. Strong operational performance was maintained with exceptional on-time performance of 99.5 per cent.

Outlook

With a number of significant projects underway across core markets and new contract awards subsequent to the reporting period, Monadelphous entered the new financial year with a solid workload.

In the past few months the Company has seen an unprecedented volume of tendering activity, signalling the approach of a large new wave of development activity in core markets. Construction and maintenance services opportunities in iron ore, coal and LNG developments in Western Australia and Queensland dominate the Company’s long list of prospects.

The Company is confident of securing a number of significant opportunities in the first half of the new financial year which will underpin strong ongoing revenue flows. Timing of projects remains a risk in the short term.

5

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S REPORT (continued)

The long-term outlook for major engineering construction services remains positive with record levels of forecast capital investment in domestic resources and energy projects over the next few years. Monadelphous’s strong position in these markets will enable it to capitalise on the emerging pipeline of opportunities across all market sectors, particularly in Western Australia and Queensland.

New opportunities for maintenance and industrial services will continue to grow as new resources and energy projects reach completion and become operational.

Monadelphous continues to prepare for escalating demand for skilled labour by investing in attraction and retention strategies. The Company will continue to focus on employee engagement and retention initiatives which build on the Company’s strong service culture, accelerate training and development programs and boost recruitment activities in the domestic and international markets.

Monadelphous continues to develop its new market growth strategy in infrastructure markets. The Infrastructure division will continue to focus on organic growth in the established markets of transmission pipelines, water, solid waste management and aviation support services and will aim to expand services to the power sector through the recent PearlStreet Energy Services acquisition.

On behalf of the Board, I thank our shareholders for their ongoing support and our people for their terrific contribution to another successful year.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the parent entity or the consolidated entity during the financial year.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

On 1 July 2011, Monadelphous Group Limited acquired 100% of the voting shares of asset management company, PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd (‘PearlStreet’). PearlStreet manages two long term operations and maintenance contracts in the power sector in Western Australia. The acquisition forms part of Monadelphous’ market growth strategy. The consideration comprised an initial cash payment of $4,130,000 and a subsequent cash adjustment to the purchase price on finalisation of the completion accounts at the date of acquisition.

At the date the Financial Statements were authorised for issue, the initial accounting for the business combination was incomplete with the fair value assessments of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired at acquisition and the calculation of the adjustment to the purchase price to be finalised. As a result it is not possible to disclose the carrying value or fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities that will be recognised at 1 July 2011, the acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred or to calculate the value of goodwill.

On 14 July 2011, the company name of PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd was changed to Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd.

On 19 August 2011, the company announced that it had secured major maintenance and construction contracts with a combined value of approximately $350 million. The contracts are with key customers in the Queensland coal industry and the Western Australian oil and gas and alumina industries. The contracts include:

  • A three-year contract with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) in Queensland, valued at approximately $100 million for dragline and shovel shutdown work across its Bowen Basin coal operations;

  • Two contracts totalling approximately $100 million, for civil, structural, mechanical and electrical work to supply and install an overland conveyor and a drift conveyor as part of the extension project at the Rio Tinto Coal Australia–managed Kestrel Mine near Emerald, Queensland;

  • Two contracts with BMA’s Project Delivery Group for ongoing construction work on various sites in the northern region of the Bowen Basin in Queensland over two years;

  • A new contract with Woodside to provide mechanical commissioning support to its Pluto LNG Plant on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia, expected to be completed in the first half of 2012; and

  • A new three-year contract to provide minor capital project services for BHP Billiton Worsley Alumina’s Refinery Project at Collie in Western Australia.

On 22 August 2011, the directors of Monadelphous Group Limited declared a final dividend on ordinary shares in respect of the 2011 financial year. The total amount of the dividend is $48,167,255 which represents a fully franked final dividend of 55 cents per share. This dividend has not been provided for in the 30 June 2011 Financial Statements.

Other than the items noted above, there are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (cont’d)

In determining the levels of remuneration of directors and executives, the Remuneration Committee takes into consideration the performance of the Group and the individual.

Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive management remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2007 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $400,000 in the ‘not to exceed sum’ paid to non-executive directors.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

Non-executive directors have long been encouraged by the board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the director on-market). It is considered good governance for directors to have a stake in the Company.

The non-executive directors do not receive retirement benefits, nor do they participate in any incentive programs.

The remuneration of non-executive directors for the period ending 30 June 2011 is detailed in Table 1 on page 17 of this report.

Executive remuneration

Objective

The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company so as to:

  • Reward executives for Group, business unit and individual performance;

  • Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and

  • Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Remuneration Committee receives external survey data from a recognised remuneration research organisation and considers market levels for comparable executive roles when making its recommendations to the Board.

14

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (cont’d)

Executive remuneration (cont’d)

Remuneration consists of a fixed remuneration element and variable remuneration elements in the form of Short Term and Long Term Incentives.

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for each member of the executive management team by the Remuneration Committee. Tables 1 and 2 on pages 17 and 18 of this report detail the proportion of fixed and variable remuneration for each of the executive directors and the members of the executive management team of the Company.

Fixed remuneration

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee and the process consists of a review of Company-wide, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally, and where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Monadelphous has a structured approach aimed at delivering fixed remuneration which is market competitive and rewards performance. The Company participates in a number of respected remuneration surveys from which it receives quarterly or six-monthly market and forecast data, and it’s remuneration system is designed to analyse detailed market and sector information at various levels.

Structure

Executive team members are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.

The fixed remuneration component of the executive directors and the five most highly remunerated members of the executive management team of the Company is detailed in Tables 1 and 2 on pages 17 and 18 of this report.

Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (STI)

Objective

The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Company’s targets with the performance of the employee charged with meeting those targets. The total STI for executives is set at a level so as to remunerate the executives for achieving the operational targets and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable in the circumstances.

Structure

On an annual basis at the end of the financial year, after consideration of performance against KPIs, an overall performance rating for the Company and each individual business unit is approved by the Remuneration Committee. The individual performance of each executive is also rated and all three are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the short-term incentive payment made to each individual.

15

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (cont’d)

Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (STI) (cont’d)

The KPIs considered in the assessment process adopt a balanced scorecard approach to measuring performance. The following categories of performance measures are considered:

  • Financial Measures: including revenue, contribution and financial administration metrics,

  • Safety Measures: including lost time and total case injury frequency metrics,

  • Customer Satisfaction Measures: including customer performance feedback,

  • Employee Retention and Development Metrics and

  • Progress being made in terms of specific long-term strategic initiatives.

The KPIs have been selected to underpin the Company’s core values and ensuring performance is aligned to the strategic direction of the business.

The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Company is subject to the approval of the Remuneration Committee. Payments made are usually delivered as a cash bonus.

In the 2010 financial year, 100% of the cash bonus previously accrued in that period vested and was paid in the 2011 financial year. The amount payable for the 2011 financial year in relation to executives is $590,000 which has been fully accrued at 30 June 2011. This amount was fully paid in July 2011 on approval by the Remuneration Committee.

Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI)

Objective

The objective of the LTI plan is to retain and reward key employees in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

Structure

LTI grants to executives are delivered at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee in the form of options. The individual performance rating of each executive and the annual cost to the Company, on an individual basis, of any issue is taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of options granted. During the year ended 30 June 2011, there were 631,000 options granted under the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan. No Directors or Key Management Personnel included in Table 1 on page 17 received options during the year ended 30 June 2011. All executives are eligible to participate in the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan.

In accordance with the rules of the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan, options may only be exercised in specified window periods (or at the discretion of the directors in particular circumstances):

25% 2 years after the options were issued 25% 3 years after the options were issued 50% 4 years after the options were issued

16

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (cont’d)

Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI) (cont’d)

In addition, for options issued under the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan during the years ended 30 June 2009, 30 June 2010 and 30 June 2011, the ability to exercise options during each applicable window period is subject to the financial performance of the Company during the option vesting period. The options shall only be capable of exercise during that window period where the Company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) metric is growing at a rate of at least 10% per year on average. If, however, this hurdle is not achieved for a particular window period, rather than lapsing, the options will be re-tested during all later window periods in respect of that issue and may become exercisable at that later date.

Hedging of equity awards

The Company prohibits executives from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested LTI awards. The prohibition includes entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options awarded as part of their remuneration package.

Adherence to the policy is monitored on an annual basis and involves each KMP signing an annual declaration of compliance with the hedging policy.

Employment Contracts

All executives have non-fixed term employment contracts. The Company or executive may terminate the employment contract by providing 1 to 3 months written notice. The Company may terminate the contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred.

Company Performance

The profit after tax for the Group for the last six The profit after tax for the Group for the last six years is as follows:
2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006
$‘000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000
Profit after income tax expense 95,067 83,217 74,241 69,543 60,418 29,396

A review of the Company’s performance over the last six years has been provided on page 6 of this report.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Monadelphous Group Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Monadelphous Group Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 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 year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company 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 controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.

d) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Monadelphous Group Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (‘the Group’).

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

33

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

d) Basis of consolidation (cont’d)

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values (see note 2(e)).

The difference between the above items and the fair value of the consideration (including the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on acquisition.

e) Business combinations

Subsequent to 1 July 2009

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or a liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 whether in the profit and loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

Prior to 1 July 2009

The purchase method of accounting was used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets were acquired. Cost was measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the combination. Where equity instruments were issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments was their published market price as at the date of exchange. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments were recognised directly in equity.

Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which were measured at fair value less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination were measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired was recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition was less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference was recognised as a gain in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

34

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

e) Business combinations (cont’d)

Where settlement of any part of the consideration was deferred, the amounts payable in the future were discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used was the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

f) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation currencies of Monadelphous Group Limited, its Australian subsidiaries and its Papua New Guinea subsidiary (Monadelphous PNG Ltd) are Australian dollars (A$). Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

The functional currency of the New Zealand subsidiary (Skystar Airport Services NZ Pty Ltd) is New Zealand dollars (NZ$), the Hong Kong subsidiary (Moway International Limited) is United States dollars (US$) and the Chinese subsidiary (Moway AustAsia Steel Structures Trading (Beijing) Company Limited) is Chinese Renminbi (RMB).

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rate ruling at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined.

Translation of Group companies’ functional currency to presentation currency

As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the New Zealand, Hong Kong and Chinese subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Monadelphous Group Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the income statements are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period.

Exchange variations arising from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

g) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposits with an original maturity 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.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

35

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

h) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectable amounts. An allowance for impairment loss is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at a Company and business unit level. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectable are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivables. Financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments, historical bad debt performance or debts more than 60 days overdue are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

i) Inventories

Construction work-in-progress is stated at the aggregate of contract costs incurred to date plus profits recognised to date less recognised losses and progress billings. Costs include all costs directly related to specific contracts.

j) Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses derivative financial instruments (including forward currency contracts) to manage its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered and are subsequently remeasured to fair value. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and changes in fair value are recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the profit or loss for the year.

The fair values of forward currency contracts are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

36

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

k) Investments and other financial assets

Investments and financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are categorised as either financial assets at fair value through the profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Designation is re-evaluated at each financial year end, but there are restrictions on reclassifying to other categories.

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of assets not at fair value through the profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Recognition and Derecognition

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial assets has expired or been transferred.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through the profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through the profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term with the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on financial assets held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss and the related assets are classified as current assets in the balance sheet.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired. These are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance date, which are classified as non-current.

(iii) Available-for-sale securities

Available-for-sale securities are those non-derivative financial assets, principally equity securities that are designated as available-for-sale, or are not classified in any of the two preceding categories or held to maturity. After initial recognition, available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.

The fair values of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets are determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments with no active market, fair values are determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include: using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models making as much use of available and supportable market data as possible and keeping judgemental inputs to a minimum.

l) Property, plant and equipment

All classes of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing balance method on all plant and equipment acquired before 1 July 1996 and a straight line basis for all acquisitions on or after 1 July 1996, and a straight line basis on all property other than freehold land.

Major depreciation periods are:

2011 2010
Buildings 40 years 40 years
Plant and equipment 3 to 15 years 3 to 15 years

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

m) Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value.

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement.

n) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Finance leases

Leases which effectively transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item are classified as finance leases. The financed asset is stated at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. An interest bearing liability of equal value is also recognised at inception. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the lease liability.

The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss.

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

Operating leases

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. The minimum lease payments of operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

o) Interest in jointly controlled operation

The group has an interest in a joint venture that is a jointly controlled operation. A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of assets and other resources of the venturers rather than the establishment of a separate entity. The group recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operation by recognising its interest in the assets and liabilities of the joint venture. The group also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods and services by the jointly controlled operation.

p) Goodwill and intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the consideration over the fair value of the Group’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination, is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cashgenerating units), to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit is determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period. Cash flows beyond the five year period are not used in the calculation.

When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

Intangibles

Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite and amortised over their useful life. They are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for the intangible assets is reviewed at least each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the assets are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets is recognised in the profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

q) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and are not discounted due to their short term nature. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 to 45 days of recognition.

Monadelphous Group Limited and the controlled entities subject to Class Order 98/1418 (refer to Note 25 for further details), entered into a deed of indemnity on 12 April 1995, 3 July 2001, 30 June 2005, 29 June 2007 and 9 June 2011. The effect of the deed is that Monadelphous Group Limited has guaranteed to pay any deficiency in the event of winding up of these controlled entities. The controlled entities have also given a similar guarantee in the event that Monadelphous Group Limited is wound up.

r) Interest bearing loans and borrowings

Interest bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

Gains or losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised.

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. The Group does not currently hold qualifying assets but, if it did, the borrowing costs directly associated with the asset would be capitalised (including any other associated costs directly attributable to the borrowing and temporary investment income earned on the borrowing).

s) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group 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.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, 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 income statement net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free government bond rate relevant to the expected life of the provision is used as a discount rate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

A provision for dividends is not recognised as a liability unless the dividends are declared on or before the reporting date.

t) Employee benefits

(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave, rostered days off, sick leave, project incentives and project redundancies Liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave, rostered days off, vesting sick leave, project incentives and project redundancies expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Expenses for non-vesting sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of the expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the estimated future cash outflows.

(iii) Defined contribution superannuation plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

(iv) Workers compensation

It is customary for all entities within the Engineering and Construction industry to be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Payments under these policies are calculated differently depending on which state of Australia the entity is operating in. Premiums are generally calculated based on actual wages paid and claims experience. Wages are estimated at the beginning of each reporting period. Final payments are made when each policy is closed out based on the difference between actual wages and the original estimated amount. The amount of each payment varies depending on the number of incidents recorded during each period and the severity thereof. The policies are closed out within a five year period through negotiation with the relevant insurance company. The provision has been created to cover the expected costs associated with closing out each insurance policy and is adjusted accordingly based on the actual payroll incurred and the severity of incidents that have occurred during each period.

u) Share-based payment transactions

The Group provides benefits to employees (including Key Management Personnel) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

Monadelphous Group Limited provides benefits to employees through the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Monadelphous Group Limited (market conditions), if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).

42

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

u) Share-based payment transactions (cont’d)

The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of an original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

Shares in the Group reacquired on-market and held by Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Share Trust are classified and disclosed as reserved shares and deducted from equity.

v) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognised directly in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Reserved shares

The Group’s own equity instruments, which are reacquired for later use in employee share-based payment arrangements (reserved shares) are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.

w) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of Services

Where the contract outcome can be reliably measured:

  • revenue is recognised at the time of billing to the customer for maintenance contracts or for construction contracts refer to the accounting policy for construction contracts, for method of revenue recognition.

Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured:

  • contract costs are recognised as an expense as incurred, and where it is probable that the costs will be recovered, revenue is recognised only to the extent that costs have been incurred.

Dividends

Revenue is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the dividend payment is established.

Interest income

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

x) Construction contracts

When accounting for construction contracts, the contracts are either combined or segmented if this is deemed necessary to reflect the substance of the agreement.

Revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method. Stage of completion is agreed with the customer on a work certified to date basis, as a percentage of the overall contract.

Revenue from cost plus contracts is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred plus a percentage of fees earned during the financial year. The percentage of fee earned during the financial year is based on the stage of completion of the contract.

Where a loss is expected to occur from a construction contract the excess of the total expected contract costs over expected contract revenue is recognised as an expense immediately.

y) Taxation

Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

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

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

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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; or

  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference 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 credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference 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; or

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet 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.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

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 balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

y) Taxation (cont’d)

Tax consolidation legislation

Monadelphous Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities formed a tax consolidated group on 1 July 2003. The head entity, Monadelphous Group Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the separate taxpayer within group method in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Monadelphous Group Limited also recognised the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Details of the tax funding agreement are disclosed in note 4.

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when 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; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

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

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.

z) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

aa) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of 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 and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.

Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Recovery of deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

Impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives

The group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are discussed in note 10.

Impairment of available-for-sale assets

After initial recognition available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model, using the assumptions detailed in note 22. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

aa) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (cont’d)

Taxation

The Group’s accounting policy for taxation requires management’s judgement as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgement is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unrecouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits.

Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the balance sheet and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustments, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the income statement.

Construction contracts

When accounting for construction contracts, the contracts are either combined or segmented if this is deemed necessary to reflect the substance of the agreement. Revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method. Stage of completion is agreed with the customer on a work certified to date basis, as a percentage of the overall contract. Revenue from cost plus contracts is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred plus a percentage of fees earned during the financial year. The percentage of fee earned during the financial year is based on the stage of completion of the contract. Where a loss is expected to occur from a construction contract the excess of the total expected contract costs over expected contract revenue is recognised as an expense immediately.

Workers compensation

It is customary for all entities within the Engineering and Construction industry to be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Payments under these policies are calculated differently depending on which state of Australia the entity is operating in. Premiums are generally calculated based on actual wages paid and claims experience. Wages are estimated at the beginning of each reporting period. Final payments are made when each policy is closed out based on the difference between actual wages and the original estimated amount. The amount of each payment varies depending on the number of incidents recorded during each period and the severity thereof. The policies are closed out within a five year period through negotiation with the relevant insurance company. The provision has been created to cover the expected costs associated with closing out each insurance policy and is adjusted accordingly based on the actual payroll incurred and the severity of incidents that have occurred during each period.

ab) Comparatives

Comparative amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current year disclosures.

(f) Tax consolidation

(i) Members of the tax consolidated group and the tax sharing agreement

Monadelphous Group Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003. Monadelphous Group Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. Members of the Group have entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement on the basis that the possibility of default is remote.

(ii) Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group

Measurement method adopted under UIG 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting

The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the separate taxpayer within group approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. The current and deferred tax amounts are measured in a systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes . The nature of the tax funding agreement is discussed further below.

Nature of the tax funding agreement

Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. Under the funding agreement the funding of tax within the Group is based on the separate taxpayer within group method of allocation, which is an acceptable method of allocation under UIG 1052. The tax funding agreement requires payments to/from the head entity to be recognised via an inter-company loan account.

a) Allowance for impairment loss

Trade receivables are generally on 30 day terms from end of month. An allowance for impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that trade receivables may be impaired. An impairment loss of $601,000 (2010: $248,000) has been recognised by the Group in the current year. These amounts have been included in the administrative expenses item in the income statement.

6. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (cont’d)

(a) Allowance for impairment loss (cont’d)

Impaired Trade Receivables:

At 30 June 2011, the current trade receivables of the Group were $143,458,000 (2010: $119,039,000). The amount of the allowance for impairment loss was $3,135,000 (2010: $2,534,000). An impairment provision is recognised where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivables. Financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments, historical bad debt performance or debts more than 60 days overdue are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Past Due Not Impaired:

At 30 June 2011, the ageing of receivables past due but not considered impaired is as follows:

31 – 60 Days
61 – 90 Days
91+ Days

5,085
5,896
1,235
3,021
36,769
33,139

Payment terms on these amounts have not been re-negotiated however credit has been stopped where the credit limit has been exceeded. In this case, payment terms will not be extended. Each business unit has been in direct contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied that payment will be received.

Receivables not impaired or past due:

Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Publicly available credit information from recognised providers is utilised for this purpose where available. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

(b) Other debtors

Other debtors, which includes accrued sales, are non-interest bearing and have repayment terms between 30 to 60 days.

(c) Fair value, credit risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk

Details regarding fair value and credit, foreign exchange and interest rate risk are disclosed in note 28.

(a) Description of the Group’s Intangible Assets and Goodwill

(i) Intangible assets

Intangible assets have been acquired through business combinations and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. The intangible asset has been assessed as having a finite life and is amortised using the straight line method over a three year period. The amortisation has been recognised in the income statement in the cost of services rendered classification. Intangible assets include the fair value of contracts acquired on acquisition of KT Pty Ltd (Note 27).

(ii) Goodwill

After initial recognition, goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment (refer to section (b) of this note).

(b) Impairment Testing of Goodwill

Goodwill acquired through a business combination has been allocated to cash generating units (‘CGU’) for impairment testing purposes. The cash generating units are the entity MI & E Holdings Pty Ltd (goodwill of $2,311,000), the Hunter Valley business unit (Ellavale) (goodwill of $240,000) and the entity KT Pty Ltd (goodwill of $382,000). The recoverable amount of each cash generating unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period. Cash flows beyond the five year period have not been used in the calculation.

The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 15% for the entity MI & E Holdings Pty Ltd (2010: 15%), the Hunter Valley business unit (2010: 15%) and the entity KT Pty Ltd (2010: not applicable). The cash flows are based on the entities’ and business unit’s budgeted cash flows. No reasonable possible changes in key assumptions would result in the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount.

14. PROVISIONS (Cont’d)

(a) Employee benefits

Employee benefits includes liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave, rostered days off, vesting sick leave, project incentives and project redundancies. It is customary within the Engineering and Construction industry for incentive payments and redundancies to be paid to employees at the completion of a project. The provision has been created to cover the expected costs associated with these statutory and project employee benefits. The increase in the balance of the provision from the prior period is attributable to a number of major projects being in the latter stages of completion at year end.

(b) Workers’ compensation

It is customary for all entities within the Engineering and Construction industry to be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Payments under these policies are calculated differently depending on which state of Australia the entity is operating in. Premiums are generally calculated based on actual wages paid and claims experience. Wages are estimated at the beginning of each reporting period. Final payments are made when each policy is closed out based on the difference between actual wages and the original estimated amount. The amount of each payment varies depending on the number of incidents recorded during each period and the severity thereof. The policies are closed out within a five year period through negotiation with the relevant insurance company. The provision has been created to cover the expected costs associated with closing out each insurance policy and is adjusted accordingly based on the actual payroll incurred and the severity of incidents that have occurred during each period.

The Group’s own equity instruments are reacquired for later use in employee share-based payment arrangements (reserved shares) and are deducted from equity. During the prior year, 124,249 reserved shares were transferred to ordinary shares and issued upon exercise of options under the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan. At 30 June 2010, no reserved shares remained and during the year ended 30 June 2011, no own equity instruments were reacquired.

(c) Share options

Options over ordinary shares

During the financial year, there were 631,000 options issued over ordinary shares.

At the end of the year there were 3,928,500 (2010: 4,860,000) unissued ordinary shares in respect of which options were outstanding (Note 22).

(d) Capital management

Capital is managed by the Group’s Chief Financial Officer in conjunction with the Group’s Finance & Accounting department. Management continually monitor the Group’s net cash/debt position and the gearing levels to ensure efficiency and compliance with the current ratio, interest cover ratio and operating leverage ratio debt covenants. At 30 June 2011, the Group is in a net cash position of $129,523,000 (2010: $116,591,000) and has a debt to equity ratio of 22.2% (2010: 22.6%) which is within the Group’s net cash and debt to equity target levels.

During the year ended 30 June 2011, management paid dividends of $77,041,208. The policy is to payout dividends of 80% to 100% of net profit, subject to ongoing strong trading conditions and the need for significant cash requirements for investment opportunities.

The capital of the Company is considered to be contributed equity.

Monadelphous Group Limited and all controlled entities marked * in Note 25 have entered into a deed of cross guarantee pursuant to the ASIC Class Order made on 12 April 1995, 3 July 2001, 30 June 2005, 29 June 2007 and 9 June 2011 whereby they covenant with a trustee for the benefit of each creditor, that they guarantee to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of any entity, including Monadelphous Group Limited, being wound up. It is anticipated that Ellavale Engineering Pty Ltd and MBF Workforce Pty Ltd will be removed from the deed of cross guarantee with effect from 9 December 2011 as they are no longer operating entities.

20. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Revenue is derived by the consolidated entity from the provision of engineering services to the resources, energy and infrastructure industry sector. For the year ended 30 June 2011, the Engineering Construction division contributed revenue of $929.8 million (2010: $843.6 million ), Maintenance and Industrial Services division contributed revenue of $401.3 million (2010: $376.2 million), and the Infrastructure division contributed revenue of $157.8 million (2010: $59.1 million ). Included in these amounts is $45.0 million (2010: $3.5 million) of inter-entity revenue, which is eliminated on consolidation. The operating divisions are exposed to similar risks and rewards from operations, and are only segmented to facilitate appropriate management structures.

The directors believe that the aggregation of the operating divisions is appropriate for segment reporting purposes as they:

  • have similar economic characteristics;

  • perform similar services for the same industry sector;

  • have similar operational business processes;

  • provide a diversified range of similar engineering services to a large number of common clients;

  • utilise a centralised pool of engineering assets and shared services in their service delivery models, and the services provided to customers allow for the effective migration of employees between divisions; and

  • operate predominately in one geographical area, namely Australia.

Skystar Airport Services is not considered material for segment reporting purposes.

Accordingly all services divisions have been aggregated to form one segment.

The Group has a number of customers to which it provides services. The largest customer represented 28% of the Group’s revenue. The other three customers contributing over 10% of revenue represented 20%, 15% and 10% respectively. There are multiple contracts with these customers, across a number of their subsidiaries, divisions within those subsidiaries and locations.

  • Note, the 2010 comparative for Infrastructure includes Skystar sales revenue and reclassification of revenues previously reported with Engineering Construction.

22. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND SUPERANNUATION COMMITMENTS

(a) Share-based Payment Plan

The Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan has been established where eligible directors and employees of the consolidated entity are issued with options over the ordinary shares of Monadelphous Group Limited. The options, issued for nil consideration, are issued in accordance with the guidelines established by the Remuneration Committee of Monadelphous Group Limited. The options issued carry various terms and exercising conditions. There is currently 1 director and 167 employees participating in this scheme.

In accordance with the rules of the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan, options may only be exercised in specified window periods (or at the discretion of the directors in particular circumstances):

25% 2 years after the options were issued 25% 3 years after the options were issued 50% 4 years after the options were issued

22. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND SUPERANNUATION COMMITMENTS (cont’d)

(a) Share-based Payment Plan (cont’d)

In addition, for options issued under the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan during the years ended 30 June 2009, 30 June 2010 and 30 June 2011, the ability to exercise options during each applicable window period is subject to the financial performance of the Company during the option vesting period. The options shall only be capable of exercise during that window period where the Company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) metric is growing at a rate of at least 10% per year on average. If, however, this hurdle is not achieved for a particular window period, rather than lapsing, the options will be re-tested during all later window periods in respect of that issue and may become exercisable at that later date.

The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices of and movements in options granted under the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan during the year.

The weighted average share price at the date of exercise of options during the year was $14.90 (2010: $12.85).

A total of 631,000 options were granted by Monadelphous Group Limited during the year ended 30 June 2011. The fair value of each option issued during the year was estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option-pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants during the year:

Dividend yield 5.5%
Expected volatility 35.0% - 45.0%
Historical volatility 35.0% - 45.0%
Risk-free interest rate 4.65% - 4.76%
Expected life of option 25% - 3 years
25% - 3.5 years
50% - 4 years

The dividend yield reflects an analysis of past dividends and future dividend expectations. The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which also may not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

26. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

On 1 July 2011, Monadelphous Group Limited acquired 100% of the voting shares of asset management company, PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd (’PearlStreet’). PearlStreet manages two long term operations and maintenance contracts in the power sector in Western Australia. The acquisition forms part of Monadelphous’ market growth strategy. The consideration comprised an initial cash payment of $4,130,000 and a subsequent cash adjustment to the purchase price on finalisation of the completion accounts at the date of acquisition.

At the date the Financial Statements were authorised for issue, the initial accounting for the business combination was incomplete with the fair value assessments of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired at acquisition and the calculation of the adjustment to the purchase price to be finalised. As a result it is not possible to disclose the carrying value or fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities that will be recognised at 1 July 2011, the acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred or to calculate the value of goodwill.

On 14 July 2011, the company name of PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd was changed to Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd.

On 19 August 2011, the company announced that it had secured major maintenance and construction contracts with a combined value of approximately $350 million. The contracts are with key customers in the Queensland coal industry and the Western Australian oil and gas and alumina industries. The contracts include:

  • A three-year contract with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) in Queensland, valued at approximately $100 million for dragline and shovel shutdown work across its Bowen Basin coal operations;

  • Two contracts totalling approximately $100 million, for civil, structural, mechanical and electrical work to supply and install an overland conveyor and a drift conveyor as part of the extension project at the Rio Tinto Coal Australia–managed Kestrel Mine near Emerald, Queensland;

  • Two contracts with BMA’s Project Delivery Group for ongoing construction work on various sites in the northern region of the Bowen Basin in Queensland over two years;

  • A new contract with Woodside to provide mechanical commissioning support to its Pluto LNG Plant on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia, expected to be completed in the first half of 2012; and

  • A new three-year contract to provide minor capital project services for BHP Billiton Worsley Alumina’s Refinery Project at Collie in Western Australia.

26. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE (cont’d)

On 22 August 2011, the directors of Monadelphous Group Limited declared a final dividend on ordinary shares in respect of the 2011 financial year. The total amount of the dividend is $48,167,255 which represents a fully franked final dividend of 55 cents per share. This dividend has not been provided for in the 30 June 2011 Financial Statements.

Other than the items noted above, there are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.

27. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On 1 July 2010, Monadelphous Group Limited acquired 100% of the voting shares of KT Pty Ltd, a private company based in Australia specialising in high pressure gas pipeline and facilities construction throughout Australia and overseas. The acquisition will expand the capabilities and range of services offered by the Group.

The upfront consideration comprised a cash payment of $10,000,000 and 422,627 ordinary shares. The ordinary shares were issued at a fair value of $12.79 each, based on the quoted price of the shares of Monadelphous Group Limited at the date of acquisition. A further contingent component is payable subject to KT Pty Ltd achieving certain financial targets over the period to 31 December 2011. The total consideration payable will not exceed $30,000,000.

At 30 June 2011, the contingent consideration has been recalculated to a total payment of $1,181,000. The increase to the estimate has been charged to the Income Statement and is included within the other expenses classification.

The consolidated Income Statement includes sales revenue for the period ended 30 June 2011 of $52,004,000. Net profit for the period was not material.

Key factors contributing to the $382,000 of goodwill are the synergies existing within the acquired business, and synergies expected to be achieved as a result of combining KT Pty Ltd with the rest of the Group.

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts, available-for-sale investments, cash, short-term deposits and derivatives.

The Group is exposed to financial risks which arise directly from its operations. The Group has policies and measures in place to manage financial risks encountered by the business.

Primary responsibility for the identification of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board determines policies for the management of financial risks. It is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer and senior management to implement the policies set by the Board and for the constant day to day management of the Group’s financial risks. The Board reviews these policies on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to address the risks faced by the Group.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s policy to minimise risk from fluctuations in interest rates is to utilise fixed interest rates in its bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts. Cash and short term deposits are exposed to floating interest rate risks. The Group manages its foreign currency risk arising from significant supplier contracts in foreign currencies by purchasing foreign currency or taking out forward exchange contracts. Analysis is performed on customers’ credit rating prior to signing contracts and analysis is performed regularly of credit exposures and aged debt to manage credit and liquidity risk.

The policies in place for managing the financial risks encountered by the Group are summarised below.

(a) Risk Exposures and Responses

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (cont’d)

(a) Risk Exposures and Responses (cont’d)

The Group’s policy is to manage its exposure to movements in interest rates by fixing the interest rate on financial instruments, including bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase liabilities, where possible. In addition, the Group utilises a number of financial institutions to obtain the best interest rate possible and to manage its risk. The Group does not enter into interest rate hedges.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the variable interest rate risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date:

At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and other comprehensive income would have been affected as follows:

Judgements of reasonably

(604)
(522)
-

The reasonably possible movements have been based on review of historical movements and forward rate curves for forward rates.

The periodic effects are determined by relating the hypothetical changes in the floating interest rates to the balance of financial instruments at reporting date. It is assumed that the balance at the reporting date is representative for the year as a whole.

Foreign currency risk

As a result of operations in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and China, the Group’s balance sheet can be affected by movements in the US$/A$, NZ$/A$, PNGK/A$ and RMB/A$ exchange rates.

The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency. The Group’s policy is to hedge foreign exchange exposure by purchasing foreign currency or taking out forward contracts for the amount of foreign currency required. Where possible, Monadelphous does not take on foreign exchange risk. At 30 June 2011 the Group had no forward contracts.

The Group also mitigates its exposure to foreign currency risk by minimising excess foreign currency balances in overseas jurisdictions not required for working capital.

At 30 June 2011, the Group had the following exposure to US$ foreign currency:

The reasonably possible movements have been based on review of historical movements.

Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Publicly available credit information from recognised providers is utilised for this purpose where available.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to accounts receivable by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers within the resources, energy and infrastructure industry sector.

For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the relevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without the specific approval of the Chairman, Managing Director or Chief Financial Officer.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (cont’d)

(a) Risk Exposures and Responses (cont’d)

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprises cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is its trade receivables which have a balance at 30 June 2011 of $140,323,000 (2010: $116,505,000).

Since the Group only trades with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

Liquidity risk

The Group’s objective is to manage the liquidity of the business by monitoring project cash flows and through the use of financing facilities. The Group currently utilises financing facilities in the form of bank loans and hire purchase liabilities. The liquidity of the group is managed by the Group’s Finance & Accounting department.

The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs, repayments and interest resulting from financial liabilities as of 30 June 2011.

Board Functions

The Board seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks.

To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities it has established guidelines for the nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the Board.

The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated, by the Board, to the Managing Director and the executive management team. The Board ensures that this team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the Managing Director and the executive management team.

Whilst at all times the Board retains full responsibility for guiding and monitoring the Company, in discharging its stewardship it makes use of sub-committees. Specialist committees are able to focus on a particular responsibility and provide informed feedback to the Board.

To this end the Board has established the following committees:

  • Audit

  • Nomination

  • Remuneration

The roles and responsibilities of these committees are discussed throughout this Corporate Governance Statement.

88

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued) 30 JUNE 2011

The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risk identified by the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved including:

  • Board approval of a strategic plan designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk;

  • ongoing development of the strategic plan and approving initiatives and strategies designed to ensure continued growth and success of the entity; and

  • implementation of budgets by management and monitoring progress against budgets – via the establishment and reporting of both financial and non-financial key performance indicators.

Other functions reserved to the Board include:

  • approval of the annual and half-yearly financial reports;

  • approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures;

  • ensuring that any significant risks that arise are identified, assessed, appropriately managed and monitored;

  • reporting to shareholders.

Structure of the Board

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report on page 7. Directors of Monadelphous are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.

In the context of director independence, ‘materiality’ is considered from both the Company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the Company’s loyalty.

In accordance with the definition of independence, and the materiality thresholds set, Mr P. J. Dempsey and Mr C. P. Michelmore are considered to be independent directors.

The Board believes that while the Chairman is not independent, the current composition of the Board with its combined skills and capability, best serve the interests of the shareholders.

The role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are not exercised by the same individual.

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

The term in office held by each director in office at the date of this report is as follows:

C. G. B. Rubino 20 years Executive Director
R. Velletri 19 years Executive Director
I. Tollman 19 years Non-Executive Director
P. J. Dempsey 8 years Lead Independent Non-Executive Director
C. P. Michelmore 4 years Independent Non-Executive Director

Performance

The performance of the Board and key executives is reviewed regularly against both measurable and qualitative indicators.

The performance criteria against which the Board and executives are assessed are aligned with the financial and non-financial objectives of Monadelphous.

Remuneration Committee

It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team by remunerating directors and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the remuneration committee links the nature and amount of executive directors’ and officers’ remuneration to the Company’s financial and operational performance. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are:

  • retention and motivation of key executives

  • attraction of quality management to the Company

  • performance incentives which allow executives to share the rewards of the success of Monadelphous.
