MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Revenue

Sales revenue for the first half (H1) 2012 was a record $879.5 million, up 25.6 per cent on the previous corresponding period. Significant revenue growth from the Company’s Maintenance and Industrial Services and Infrastructure divisions and continued strong demand from customers across all key markets in resources, energy and infrastructure contributed to the result.

Earnings

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA^) in H1 2012 lifted by 22.5 per cent on the previous corresponding period to $90.7 million. Net profit after tax (NPAT) for the period was $57.5 million, up 26.3 per cent. Earnings per share (EPS) increased by 25.0 per cent to 65.4 cents.

Interim Dividend

The Board declared an interim dividend for H1 2012 of 50 cents per share (fully franked), up 25.0 per cent on the previous corresponding period.

Positioned for Growth

During the period, Monadelphous was awarded approximately $1.4 billion in new contracts and contract extensions due to strong market conditions and the Company’s proven track record in delivery. Further new contracts valued at approximately $180 million have been secured subsequent to the reporting period.

The Company’s bond facilities were increased by $150 million to $360 million and its club banking facility was expanded with the addition of HSBC. Monadelphous’s balance sheet remained robust and at the half-year end it held net cash of $136.9 million, supporting future growth.

Capital Expenditure

Monadelphous continued to invest in future capacity with capital expenditure in property, plant and equipment for the period totalling $27.3 million. This included the purchase of industrial land in Karratha for the development of a new workshop facility to support the Company’s activities in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, additions to the mobile crane fleet, and plant and equipment to support the expansion of KT Pty Ltd (KT), the Company’s transmission pipeline business.

In addition, capital commitments of $56.0 million were made to 31 December 2011, including approximately $30 million for 11 heavy-lift cranes with up to 600-tonne capacity. The cranes are scheduled to be delivered and commissioned in the second half of the financial year (H2 2012).

Norfolk Divestment

As announced in February 2012, subsequent to the reporting period, Monadelphous sold its 13.98 per cent interest in Norfolk Group Limited in an on-market transaction for a cash consideration of $24.4 million. The transaction will result in a one-off pre-tax profit of approximately $16.2 million and will support further growth and the continued development of the infrastructure business.

The majority of Monadelphous’s strategic interest in Norfolk was acquired in 2009 in line with the Company’s diversification strategy to broaden exposure to non-resources markets. Following the successful establishment of Monadelphous’s Infrastructure division in 2010, the Company’s holding in Norfolk was no longer considered strategic.

4

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Market Index Rating

In November 2011, following more than a decade of sustained growth, Monadelphous shares were included in the S&P/ASX 100 index. This was a significant milestone in the Company’s development.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Our Strategy

Monadelphous continued to make progress towards its long term strategic objective of establishing and maintaining a leadership position in core markets and further diversifying in infrastructure during the reporting period.

The Company maintained a strategic focus on attracting and retaining the right people and further developing a safety leadership culture.

Health and Safety

Monadelphous continued its focus on health and safety management with further implementation of the safety leadership program. No lost time injuries were recorded for the period and the total case injury frequency rate (TCIFR) trended lower with a 24 per cent reduction compared with the previous corresponding period.

People

The Company’s total workforce at 31 December was 6,237, up 8.6 per cent on 12 months earlier. The attraction and retention of employees remains the Company’s most significant challenge. A broad range of initiatives continued to be executed throughout the period. The introduction of a new long-term employee incentive program was a highlight.

OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY

Monadelphous provides extensive services to the resources, energy and infrastructure sectors through its three operating divisions.

Engineering Construction (EC)

The Engineering Construction division, which provides large-scale multidisciplinary project management and construction services, reported sales revenue of $480.1 million, an increase of 2.8 per cent on the previous corresponding period. The division was awarded approximately $1,075 million in new contracts in H1 2012.

The new contracts included a number of large construction contracts valued at approximately $980 million with blue-chip customers in the iron ore and coal markets. These wins will provide revenue momentum well beyond the current financial year and support the Company’s leadership position in core markets.

During the period Monadelphous secured its first marine construction contract, valued at $330 million, in joint venture with Muhibbah Construction Pty Ltd for Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET) in Queensland. This was a significant highlight which broadens the Company’s service offering.

5

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Work on major projects during the period included:

  • Engineering construction services at Woodside’s Pluto LNG Project at Karratha in Western Australia (WA);

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

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

  • Mechanical and electrical instrumentation work for Boyne Smelters Limited at Gladstone in Queensland; and

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

New contracts awarded to the Company during the period included:

  • Two contracts for structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation work as part of the Rio Tinto Coal Australia-managed Kestrel Mine, near Emerald in Queensland;

  • Structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation work as part of the upgrade of the coal preparation plant and stockyards at the Kestrel Mine;

  • Two contracts for BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance’s (BMA) Project Delivery Group for ongoing construction work on various sites in the northern region of the Bowen Basin in Queensland;

  • Mechanical commissioning support for Woodside’s Pluto LNG Plant on the Burrup Peninsula, WA;

  • Structural, mechanical and piping work for the greenfields mine processing plant for Rio Tinto and Hancock Prospecting’s Hope Downs 4 Iron Ore Project in WA;

  • Construction and commissioning of coal conveyors associated with Xstrata Coal’s Ulan West Project in the central west of NSW;

  • Structural and mechanical work associated with the coarse ore stockpiles at Cape Lambert for Rio Tinto Iron Ore in WA;

  • Structural, mechanical and piping work associated with the supply and installation of the screenhouse for Rio Tinto at Cape Lambert in WA;

  • A construction general services contract for Bechtel (Western Australia) at the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project near Onslow in WA; and

  • Structural, mechanical and piping work associated with the materials handling and processing facilities at the port operations for BHP Billiton Iron Ore’s Port Hedland Inner Harbour Project at Finucane Island and Nelson Point in WA.

In February, subsequent to the reporting period, Monadelphous announced it had entered into two non-exclusive, five-year framework agreements with Rio Tinto’s iron ore operations for its major program of construction works in the Pilbara region of WA. The first agreement is for the provision of structural, mechanical and piping packages of work. The second is for the provision of electrical and instrumentation packages of work. The milestone agreements provide Monadelphous with preferred contractor status and their key characteristic is early contractor involvement, which will enable the Company to work with Rio Tinto to optimise project delivery outcomes.

Maintenance and Industrial Services (M&IS)

The Maintenance and Industrial Services division, which specialises in the planning, management and execution of multi-disciplinary maintenance services, shutdowns and sustaining capital works, performed strongly in H1 2012.

The division achieved record sales revenue of $311.3 million, up 65.5 per cent on the previous corresponding period.

6

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

This exceptional growth was the result of a significant increase in service volumes through most existing contracts, full period revenue from new contracts and a ramp up in workload through the recently established operations at Mackay in Queensland. Other factors contributing to the division’s strong performance were growth of existing maintenance contracts, major shutdown activity and an increase in sustaining capital works from regional operations.

Major contract activity during the period included:

  • Facilities management services at the Chevron-operated Gorgon Project at Barrow Island in WA;

  • Maintenance and shutdown services for Rio Tinto’s coastal and inland West Pilbara operations in WA;

  • Major shutdown, minor capital and maintenance services for BHP Billiton’s Nickel West in WA;

  • Minor capital project services for BHP Billiton’s Worsley Alumina refinery at Collie in WA;

  • Field construction services for Oil Search at the oil and gas production support facilities in Papua New Guinea;

  • Maintenance, minor capital work and shutdown support for BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam Services at Roxby Downs in South Australia; and

  • General maintenance services and projects for Chevron at its Barrow Island and Thevenard Island operations in WA.

The division was awarded approximately $220 million in new contracts and contract extensions during H1 2012.

The announcement during the period of the Company’s first long-term dragline shovel shutdown contract following the establishment of the workshop facility in Mackay has facilitated an increased presence in the Bowen Basin and revenue growth from coal customers. The new three-year contract with BHP Mitsubishi Alliance for work across its Bowen Basin coal operations is a strategic milestone, representing geographic diversification of the Company’s services.

The following contract extensions were secured during the period:

  • A three-year contract extension to provide minor capital project services for BHP Billiton’s Worsley Alumina refinery at Collie in WA; and

  • A two-year extension to an onshore maintenance and shutdown services contract with ConocoPhillips Australia at its Darwin LNG facility in the Northern Territory.

Infrastructure

The Infrastructure division, established in July 2010 as part of Monadelphous’s diversification strategy to support long-term growth, delivered strong sales revenue of $96.3 million in H1 2012, an increase of 33.8 per cent on the previous corresponding period.

This pleasing result was due to growth in transmission pipeline services, progress on a number of water projects, substantial progress on the construction of the solid waste management project and expansion into the power sector following the acquisition in July 2011 of PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd (renamed Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd).

KT, the Company’s transmission pipeline business, continued to grow in H1 2012 following the award of additional pipeline construction contracts. Further investment was also made in specialised pipe laying equipment.

Significant progress was achieved in the Stage 2 expansion of the DiCOM bioconversion waste processing facility for Western Metropolitan Regional Council at Shenton Park in WA, with joint venture partner AnaeCo Ltd.

7

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The integration of PearlStreet Energy Services during the period contributed additional sales revenue through its two long-term operate and maintain contracts in the power sector. Other major infrastructure projects under way included:

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

  • Construction of pipelines, cables and tubes at the Chevron-operated Gorgon Project at Barrow Island in WA.

The Infrastructure division was awarded approximately $100 million in new contracts in H1 2012, including:

  • Construction of the onshore DomGas pipeline for Clough Sea Trucks Joint Venture associated with the Chevron-operated Gorgon Project in WA;

  • Pipeline remediation work for Ok Tedi Mining in Tabubil, Western Province in Papua New Guinea;

  • Construction of the Toowoomba Wastewater Infrastructure Projects program for the Toowoomba Regional Council in Queensland, in joint venture with Transfield Services; and

  • Construction work for Unitywater’s Cooroy and Woodford Sewage Treatment Plant Augmentation projects in Queensland.

In January 2012, subsequent to the reporting period, the division was awarded a further $180 million in new contracts.

The division secured a contract to construct a potable water supply system with Rio Tinto’s Coastal Waters Project at Bungaroo Valley in the Pilbara region of WA. This will support Rio Tinto’s iron ore expansion operations in the Pilbara and position the division to deliver further large-scale water projects.

Also in January 2012, Monadelphous announced KT had been awarded a contract for the preparation and construction of a CO2 injection pipeline for the Chevron-operated Gorgon project on Barrow Island, WA. This is the third pipeline contract secured by the Company on the Gorgon Project.

OUTLOOK

With a historically high level of large-scale resources and energy projects currently in the execution phase throughout Australia and a healthy pipeline of projects in planning stages – particularly for iron ore, coal and LNG developments – Monadelphous expects the strong revenue momentum achieved in H1 2012 will continue for the remainder of the financial year.

At this stage, the Company expects sales revenue growth for the full year to be similar to the first half of the 2012 financial year.

A significant amount of revenue flow from the more than $1.4 billion of new contracts secured by Monadelphous during H1 2012, along with others secured subsequent to the reporting period, will extend well into the 2013 financial year and beyond, providing continuing strong revenue visibility.

The Company anticipates that supply constraints, particularly for skilled labour, will remain as demand for resources continues to increase in the short term. Monadelphous will continue to develop and implement initiatives to maximise employee retention and attraction.

A robust level of capital investment in property, plant and equipment is expected to continue in support of ongoing core business growth and further expansion in infrastructure markets.

By maintaining its leadership position in its core markets and sustaining the successful execution of its diversification strategy, Monadelphous is confident it is well positioned to capitalise on the strong pipeline of construction and maintenance opportunities and deliver sustainable growth.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

On 30 January 2012, Monadelphous Group Limited announced it had secured water and transmission pipelines construction contracts in Western Australia with a combined value of approximately $180 million.

The first is for Rio Tinto’s Coastal Waters Project at Bungaroo Valley in the Pilbara region of WA. The contract comprises the construction and installation of a potable water supply system that will deliver 10 gigalitres per year of potable water from the Bungaroo Valley to the West Pilbara Supply Scheme at Millstream, WA. The system includes a bore field, approximately 15 kilometres of collector main and 87 kilometres of transfer pipeline and a transfer pump station. Work is expected to commence in the first quarter of the 2012 calendar year and is scheduled to be completed in the first half of the 2013 calendar year.

The second contract, awarded by Chevron Australia, is for the preparation and construction of a CO2 injection pipeline and well sites on the Gorgon Project, Barrow Island, WA. This contract, secured through Monadelphous’s transmission pipelines business KT Pty Ltd, comprises installation and pre-commissioning of seven kilometres of underground pipeline, five well sites and associated facilities. Work will commence immediately and is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of the 2013 calendar year.

On 3 February 2012, Monadelphous Group Limited sold its holding in Norfolk Group Limited (ASX:NFK) of 22,210,268 shares, representing 13.98% of issued capital, in an on-market transaction for a cash consideration of $24.4 million.

On 17 February 2012, Monadelphous Group Limited announced it had entered into two milestone framework agreements with Rio Tinto’s iron ore operations. The agreements give Monadelphous preferred contractor status for a program of structural, mechanical and piping work and a program of electrical and instrumentation work over the next five years.

9

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE (continued)

The agreements are non-exclusive and a number of agreements of this type are expected to be made with other suppliers, covering different work streams and sites.

A key feature of the innovative agreements is early contractor involvement (ECI) which will enable Monadelphous to work with Rio Tinto in the early phases of projects to contribute to design constructability and early cost and schedule development to optimise delivery.

The agreements will give visibility of a stream of projects and continuity of work. Visibility will allow longer term resource planning and optimisation while continuity of work will assist employee retention and attraction and ongoing Indigenous engagement initiatives, as well improved safety, cost and schedule outcomes.

On 20 February 2012, Monadelphous Group Limited declared an interim dividend on ordinary shares in respect of the 2012 financial year. The total amount of the dividend is $44,337,164, which represents a fully franked interim dividend of 50 cents per share. This dividend has not been provided for in the 31 December 2011 Financial Statements.

Other than the items noted above, there are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the halfyear ending 31 December 2011 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.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

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’s markets and growth strategy. The consideration comprised an initial cash payment of $4,130,000 and a subsequent cash payment of $303,814 on finalisation of the completion accounts. The company was renamed as Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd on 14 July 2011.

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2011

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of Monadelphous Group Limited as at 30 June 2011.

It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Monadelphous Group Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year ended 31 December 2011, in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

a) Basis of Preparation

The half-year financial report is a general-purpose condensed financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting.

The half-year financial report has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets which have been measured at fair value. The half-year financial report is presented in Australian Dollars.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

b) Significant Accounting Policies

The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011, as described in Note 1 (c).

c) New and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended and are effective 1 July 2011 have resulted in no material changes in accounting policies and therefore no material impact on Monadelphous Group Limited’s financial performance or position for the half-year ended 31 December 2011.

Monadelphous Group Limited and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’) has adopted all Australian Standards and Interpretations mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011, including:

  • AASB 124 (Revised) Related Party Disclosures

These amendments clarify the definition of a related party.

20

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2011

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

c) Changes in Accounting Policies (continued)

  • AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures This standard relocates all Australian specific disclosures from other standards to one place and revises disclosures in the following areas:

  • Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;

  • The statutory basis or reporting framework for financial statements;

  • Whether the financial statements are general purpose or special purpose;

  • Audit fees; and

  • Imputation credits.

  • AASB 2010-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project

This amendment affected the following standards:

  - AASB 1 Business Combinations;

  - AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures;

  - AASB 101 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates;

  - AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting; and

  - Interpretation 13.
  • AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on transfer of financial assets

  • The amendments increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. Disclosures require enhancements to the existing disclosures in IFRS 7 where an asset is transferred but is not derecognised and introduce new disclosures for assets that are derecognised but the entity continues to have a continuing exposure to the asset after the sale.

d) Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Monadelphous Group Limited and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’) as at 31 December 2011.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

All intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses arising from intragroup transactions, have been eliminated in full.

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

Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which Monadelphous Group Limited has control.

22

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2011

7. 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 half-year ended 31 December 2011 the Engineering Construction division contributed revenue of $480.1 million, the Maintenance and Industrial Services division contributed revenue of $311.3 million and the Infrastructure division contributed revenue of $96.3 million. Included in these amounts is $8.2 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.

8. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

(a) Forward currency contracts

At 31 December 2011, the Group had five foreign currency forward contracts outstanding in relation to future purchases of plant and equipment which are denominated in foreign currency. The maturity of the foreign currency forward contracts has been aligned with the expected payment dates of the purchases. The Group does not apply hedge accounting and the fair value movement of $264,695 (2010: nil) has been taken to the Income Statement.

(b) Fair value hierarchy There have been no changes to the fair value valuation hierarchy of financial instruments since the date of the last annual report.

9. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

(a) Contingent assets

There have been no changes in contingent assets since the date of the last annual report.

(b) Contingent liabilities There have been no changes in contingent liabilities since the date of the last annual report, except for the following:

11. INTERESTS IN JOINTLY CONTROLLED OPERATIONS

Monadelphous Muhibbah Marine joint venture was established on 1 July 2011. The principal activity of the joint venture is to construct the approach jetty and ship berth associated with the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal project at Gladstone in Queensland.

A joint venture agreement between Skystar Airport Services Pty Ltd and Menzies Aviation (Australia) Pty Ltd was executed on 28 July 2011. The principal activity of the joint venture is to provide aviation support services.

A joint venture agreement between Monadelphous Engineering Pty Ltd and Transfield Services (Australia) Pty Ltd was executed on 5 September 2011. The principal activity of the joint venture is to undertake construction of the Toowoomba Wastewater Infrastructure Projects program for the Toowoomba Regional Council in Queensland.

12. SHARE BASED PAYMENT

In November 2011, a total of 4,630,000 options were granted by Monadelphous Group Limited under the Employee Option Prospectus at an exercise price of $17.25 and a further 40,000 options were issued under the Employee Option Plan – October 2011 at an exercise price of $19.31. The exercise price of the options granted under the Employee Option Prospectus was calculated as the average closing market price of the shares for the five trading days prior to 10 October 2011. The exercise price of the options granted under the Employee Option Plan – October 2011 was calculated as the average closing market price of the shares for the five trading days prior to the invitation date to apply for the options of 31 October 2011. The fair value of each option issued during the half-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 half-year:

Dividend yield 5.4% - 5.5%
Expected volatility 30.0% - 40.0%
Historical volatility 30.0% - 40.0%
Risk-free interest rate 3.06% - 3.79%
Expected life of option 25% - 2 years
25% - 3 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.

For the half-year ended 31 December 2011, the Group has recognised $2,198,376 of share-based payment expense in the Income Statement (2010: $1,115,237).

25

MONADELPHOUS GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2011

13. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

The consolidated group has capital commitments of $56,006,357 at 31 December 2011 (2010: $19,109,810), which includes $30 million for 11 heavy-lift cranes with up to 600-tonne capacity. The cranes are scheduled to be delivered and commissioned in the second half of the financial year.

14. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE

On 30 January 2012, Monadelphous Group Limited announced it had secured water and transmission pipelines construction contracts in Western Australia with a combined value of approximately $180 million.

The first is for Rio Tinto’s Coastal Waters Project at Bungaroo Valley in the Pilbara region of WA. The contract comprises the construction and installation of a potable water supply system that will deliver 10 gigalitres per year of potable water from the Bungaroo Valley to the West Pilbara Supply Scheme at Millstream, WA. The system includes a bore field, approximately 15 kilometres of collector main and 87 kilometres of transfer pipeline and a transfer pump station. Work is expected to commence in the first quarter of the 2012 calendar year and is scheduled to be completed in the first half of the 2013 calendar year.

The second contract, awarded by Chevron Australia, is for the preparation and construction of a CO2 injection pipeline and well sites on the Gorgon Project, Barrow Island, WA. This contract, secured through Monadelphous’s transmission pipelines business KT Pty Ltd, comprises installation and pre-commissioning of seven kilometres of underground pipeline, five well sites and associated facilities. Work will commence immediately and is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of the 2013 calendar year.

On 3 February 2012, Monadelphous Group Limited sold its holding in Norfolk Group Limited (ASX:NFK) of 22,210,268 shares, representing 13.98% of issued capital, in an on-market transaction for a cash consideration of $24,431,295.

On 17 February 2012, Monadelphous Group Limited announced it had entered into two milestone framework agreements with Rio Tinto’s iron ore operations. The agreements give Monadelphous preferred contractor status for a program of structural, mechanical and piping work and a program of electrical and instrumentation work over the next five years.

The agreements are non-exclusive and a number of agreements of this type are expected to be made with other suppliers, covering different work streams and sites.

A key feature of the innovative agreements is early contractor involvement (ECI) which will enable Monadelphous to work with Rio Tinto in the early phases of projects to contribute to design constructability and early cost and schedule development to optimise delivery.

The agreements will give visibility of a stream of projects and continuity of work. Visibility will allow longer term resource planning and optimisation while continuity of work will assist employee retention and attraction and ongoing Indigenous engagement initiatives, as well improved safety, cost and schedule outcomes.

On 20 February 2012, Monadelphous Group Limited declared an interim dividend on ordinary shares in respect of the 2012 financial year. The total amount of the dividend is $44,337,164, which represents a fully franked interim dividend of 50 cents per share. This dividend has not been provided for in the 31 December 2011 Financial Statements.

Other than the items noted above, there are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the half-year ending 31 December 2011 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.
