Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to this General Meeting of Shareholders of Global Construction Services Limited.

My name is Sam Mangione. I am the Chairman of the GCS Group and I will be chairing today's meeting.

Please ensure that you have signed the attendance register.

I note there is a quorum present and declare the meeting open.

The Notice of Meeting dated 2 May 2011 and entitled "Notice of General Meeting Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form" has been circulated to all GCS shareholders and I will therefore take that notice as read.

The purpose of this meeting is to consider and vote on the resolutions outlined in the Notice of Meeting

Proxy votes have been received. The total number of valid proxy votes and the manner in which the proxies are to vote will be presented before each resolution is considered and voted upon.

I note that where a proxy vote has been given to the chairman without voting instructions, I intend to vote in favour of the resolution.

I would like to introduce you to the Company's Directors and Company Secretary, who are present at this meeting.

Mr Enzo Gullotti Managing Director of the GCS Group Mr George Chiari Executive Director Mr Vince Gerasolo Company Secretary

The format of the meeting will be as follows:

I will deliver a brief overview on GCS's current position.

We will then deal with the formalities of the meeting, which include voting on the 2 resolutions included in the Notice of Meeting.

In April 2011, GCS upgraded its full year forecast to a net profit of $19.1 million after tax.

This upgrade is a 12% increase over the previously announced upgraded profit forecast of $17.1m and a 67% increase over our FY10 result of $11.4 million

The acquisition of GIS will secure a significant additional pool of labour, open up new expansion opportunities for the group and strengthen major client relationships.

The GIS acquisition will be EPS accretive in FY12 and contribute strong margins and cash flows to the group.

The combined GCS-GIS group is strongly placed to capture significant new contract revenue in FY12 and the group is currently tendering on a number of major projects and is actively pursuing new opportunities.

The GCS Group expects to be able to maintain its increased level of earnings in future years on the back of increased activity in Civil Construction and demand for services to support expansion in the Oil & Gas and Mining Services sector.

As a Board we are very pleased with the performance of the company thus far in FY11 and are looking forward to building on our strengths to take full advantage of the pipeline of opportunities in 2012 and beyond.

We will now proceed to the formal business of the meeting.
