Bisalloy Steel Group Ltd (“the Group”) delivered a FY23 Profit after tax attributable to members of $12.8m, representing a 14.6% decrease on the prior year. The Group experienced more challenging business conditions in FY23 driven by significant increases in input costs (Greenfeed, power and transport). 2. The Group’s distribution subsidiaries in Indonesia and Thailand continued to operate profitably over FY23 and made a positive contribution to the Group result. 3. The Group’s cooperative joint venture (CJV) for the manufacture and sale of quench & tempered steel into China and other North Asian markets generated a total operating profit before tax of $6.5m, which after local taxes resulted in a 50% contribution to the Group of $2.4m for FY23.

Mr David Balkin AM, Chairman ii | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Our safety record is exceptional in absolute terms and way better than the industry average. Our balance sheet has very low levels of debt, and our strong financial performance for the year – despite some  significant headwinds we continue to face – enables us  to declare a final dividend of 9.5 cents, for a total year  dividends of 13.5 cents. Our domestic market share for our core products has grown because of our much better engagement with, and understanding of, our customers’ needs and requirements. We have re-engaged with our Chinese Joint Venture (CJV) now that travel to China has reopened. We are intently focused on the key enablers of our growth strategy and intend to invest time and resources to advance and develop them in the next 12 months. Finally, our Governance frameworks are more refined without distracting the Board’s focus from  building a stronger and more profitable company. However, we cannot be complacent. We continue to compete with large multi-national quench and tempered steel producers who see supplying their steel to the Australian mining industry as core to their business. We compete, not by cutting prices, but by continuing to improve our product quality and using our local supply capability to serve our customers better than any steel importer can. Global and local supply shocks combined with Government policies to reduce carbon emissions have delivered increases in both gas and electricity prices. These increases continue to erode our profitability at  a time when your company has continued its efforts to reduce emissions. We are concerned that state and federal governments have little real appreciation as to how sharply rising energy costs will ultimately make energy intensive manufacturing in Australia internationally uncompetitive. Bisalloy is Australia’s  only quench and tempered steel plate producer which serves our mining and defence industries. We believe that our local production capability is a vital part of Australia’s self-reliance. We hope that the Australian and state governments share a similar view. Changes to international shipping markets with the significant reduction of roll-on roll-off coastal shipping  from Australia’s east coast to the west coast, has forced the company to use significantly higher cost  transportation to get its steel to the west coast. We are working diligently to develop innovative alternatives to reduce our freight costs and expect to make significant  progress in the next six months. Finally, we would like to thank our stable group of shareholders for their loyalty and support. Our employees and the Board hope that we exceed your  expectations as we continue to strive for a better performing and more profitable company.  Mr David Balkin AM, Chairman 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | iii Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer’s Report Improving our Health, Safety and Environment performance and developing the right culture is of critical importance at Bisalloy. Rowan Melrose Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer iv | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report The safety of all employees, contractors and stakeholders is our number one priority and we have continued to evolve our standards and expectations. Our focus on leading indicators such as hazards and near misses has led to a 69% increase in our reporting. This has allowed our business to take a much more proactive approach to identify and manage our risks. The improvement in our lagging indicators has also been extremely positive. Our Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) is zero, our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) is zero, our Medical Treatment Injury Frequency Rate (MTIFR) is zero and our All Injury Frequency Rate (AIFR) for the group is 12.5. These are remarkable statistics and are testament to the dedication and commitment of all our employees at all our sites. In consideration of our environmental impact, during the year we have undertaken a detailed analysis of the Australian manufacturing facility. This review was to understand our carbon footprint, our energy usage, and our waste generation to develop a program of works that will lead to a more efficient operation, a  reduction in waste from the plant, and our commitment to be Carbon Neutral by 2030. We are in the process of developing these opportunities, and although we are setting longer term goals we continue to focus on daily improvements. As an example, during the year we were able to reduce our solid wastes by over 50%. This was achieved by increasing recycling and overall employee education. In the annual report last year, we spoke of anticipated headwinds including,” international steel plate prices, increased shipping costs, disruptions to international and domestic shipping, and ever increasing energy costs”. These factors continued to affect the business during the year but were offset by a less volatile Quench and Tempered steel price cycle. Our sales team have held their market positioning, and this has been a driving force for this year’s results. Their expertise and product knowledge, combined with their customer centric, collaborative, and solutions-oriented approach has delivered new partnerships and built on existing relationships. As mentioned, our operations have had to deal with significant increases in both electricity and gas input  costs during the year. To manage these increases we made the difficult decision to rationalize our workforce  and reduce our workshop employees by approximately 20%. Our freight costs and in particular sea freight to our Western Australian market also increased significantly during the year. We do not see this  situation changing in the near term and are looking at alternative and more cost-effective forms of transport to maintain our supply. Our Joint Ventures remain a central pillar of our business strategy. The year has enabled enhanced communication and collaboration with our partners as travel restrictions have been removed, and we have established a deeper understanding of our joint venture partners’ goals and objectives. Our commitment to fostering mutually beneficial  relationships creates a solid foundation for shared 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | v Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer’s Report continued success which has expanded our global reach, leveraged their local expertise and networks, and optimised our global supply chain. Indonesia had a particularly strong year with a demonstrable improvement in the bottom line with their commitment to add more value to their distribution capability. Thailand increased sales volume year on year, but increased product costs resulted in a reduction in margins. They are developing new market opportunities and value-added products which will begin generating income and improve margins this year. We have been able to invest more time into the Chinese JV. They continue to make a significant  contribution to Bisalloy despite China’s difficult  market conditions. As much as we focus on optimizing the day-to-day operations, we are also focusing on our strategic and growth opportunities. During the year we have developed a suite of strategic priorities and business enablers to build and grow the business. Our planned approach has identified several new markets,  new products and potential services that will be investigated and potentially developed. The past 12 months has been very positive for our business. We continue to deliver very healthy financial  performance, have dramatically improved our health and safety performance, and have made significant  internal and business systems changes. Some of these changes have proved challenging but are beginning to deliver the right outcomes. Critically, these changes will be the foundation to allow significant  ongoing improvements. We have a clearer view of our growth opportunities and growth enablers. This is a transformational time for Bisalloy. I would like to thank all our customers for their ongoing support. We value your business, and we will continue to work hard to improve our performance by strengthening our relationships and building your trust. I would also like to thank all the Bisalloy family for  their contribution to our success. It is a result of their efforts, their contribution, and their resilience that we have been able to make the progress we have during the year and deliver a strong set of results for our shareholders.

Operating and financial review Operations Group Bisalloy Steel Group comprises Bisalloy Steels Pty Ltd in  Australia, the majority owned distribution businesses in Indonesia (PT Bima Bisalloy) and Thailand (Bisalloy  (Thailand) Co Limited) and the investment in the Chinese Joint Venture (CJV) – Bisalloy Shangang  (Shandong) Steel Plate Co, Ltd. Bisalloy delivered strong results in the 2022-23 financial  year. Our global Environment Health and Safety metrics were extremely pleasing, and there were no lost time or medically treated injuries. We were fully compliant from an environmental perspective, and we satisfied all  safety, quality and environmental audits. Our sales tonnes and our sales revenue improved year on year and despite significant increases in input costs  (Greenfeed, power and transport), the business has again delivered strong financial results.  Throughout the year we added to the existing sales team through recruitment and internal role reassignment to increase our focus across our market segments. We now employ a diverse mix of sales professionals drawing from functional experience in steel distribution, plate processing, business development, engineering, operations, mining, earthmoving, and agriculture. Through reallocation of internal personnel, we have added to the focus on our armour business. Notably we were able to expand our service offering by partnering with selected channel partners to offer cut armour parts into key domestic Defence projects as well as export orders. This is a tremendous opportunity to further increase the margin opportunities in the Defence business utilising our nearly 30 years of experience as a Defence industry supplier. Bisalloy Steels is Australia’s only processor of quenched  and tempered high strength, abrasion resistant and armour grade alloyed steel plates. Bisalloy distributes  wear and structural grade plates through both distributors and directly to select manufacturers and end users in Australia and internationally. For armour grade steels, Bisalloy exclusively deals directly with  select companies. Bisalloy’s unique stand-alone heat treatment facility  at Unanderra, near Wollongong, is a highly automated and efficient operation providing a relatively  low-cost base, allowing it to compete with a variety of imported products. During the twelve months ended 30 June 2023 Bisalloy utilised greenfeed steel  supply mainly from neighbouring BlueScope Steel in  Wollongong, complemented with selected supply from international greenfeed suppliers, including the CJV. Financial review Operating results Our businesses continued to perform well with strong operational execution delivering growth in volume and sales revenue through customer focus and disciplined execution in a very competitive environment. While the Gross Margin percentages reverted to normalised levels in FY23 after increasing significantly in FY22  as market prices rose, strong volume growth in FY23 supported increased gross margin dollars, and offset the impact of higher greenfeed, energy and transportation costs as well as absorbing the one-off redundancy costs of our manufacturing staff reductions. The Group’s net profit for the year after income tax was  lower at $13,527,000 (2022: $15,403,000). Operating expenses increased compared to FY22, reflecting the one-off savings in overheads in FY22 not  repeated in FY23. With Covid restriction over, and a full complement of employees on board, employment, marketing and travel costs increased. The impacts from Covid-19 lock-downs and a tepid recovery in Chinese market conditions saw a fall in both Volume and Sales in the CJV for the year. 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 5 Fortunately, these lost sales have been more than offset by lower administration and operating costs, resulting in a small increase to earnings compared to FY22. Operating results are summarised as follows: Operating Segments Australia Overseas Consolidated entity adjustments Consolidated entity revenue and profit after tax for the year FY23 Revenue $’000 Profit after tax $’000 131,198 24,335 155,533 (2,394) 153,139 11,864 3,596 15,460 (1,933) 13,527 Delivering for Shareholders We seek to deliver sustainable dividends for our shareholders. We know that many shareholders rely on the dividends and related franking credits that they receive to support their income. By focusing on our operating  performance and capital generation through different economic environments, we can achieve sustainable dividends over the long-term. The Board has decided to pay a final dividend of 9.5 cents per share for the Year ended 30 June 2023, in addition to  the 4.0 cent interim dividend paid in April.

ERP With the introduction of our ERP upgrade combined with the introduction of more modern reporting platforms, this project will manage our movement to an Integrated Business Planning system that is  anticipated to generate additional sales through better stock fulfilment, while optimising working capital. Joint Venture in China (CJV) With the Chinese Steel Market under significant  pressure, we will invest further in product development, with several new products scheduled to be released in the coming months. Additionally, we are supporting further efforts to strengthen the Bisalloy Bisplate brand  in the Chinese Domestic Market along with a greater focus on opportunities in international markets. Overseas Distribution The Group’s overseas distribution operations in Indonesia and Thailand continue to be profitable and  we are focussed on developing further their higher margin processed Product sales opportunities. Armour Our Armour business continues to be of importance both domestically and internationally. Current market development activities are examining feasibility of a greater presence in the North American defence supply chain, while continuing to service our export opportunity with global defence primes such as Hanwha, Rheinmetall, and Thales. FY24 Outlook The Australian economy has been resilient with relatively high commodity prices and low unemployment. However, there are signs of downside risks building, and a global slowdown driven by Chinese demand poses a significant threat to steel prices and  therefore margins. Despite these headwinds, we remain optimistic to deliver another strong year.

The Group Risk Management Framework enables the Board, Executive  Leadership Team (ELT) and our people to make informed risk decisions to support the delivery of our strategy. The Board takes a proactive approach to  risk management and is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely  basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by  the Board. The Board has established an Audit and Risk  Committee comprising non-executive Directors, whose meetings are also attended by the executive Director. In addition, sub-committees are convened as appropriate in response to issues and risks identified  by the Board, and the sub-committee further examines  the issue and reports back to the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to  ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These  include the following: ● Board approval of a strategic plan, which  encompasses the Group’s purpose, vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk. ● Implementation of Board approved operating plans  and budgets and Board monitoring of progress  against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs of both a financial and  non-financial nature. ● Establishment of committees to report on specific  business risks, including for example, such matters as environmental and governance issues along with work, health and safety. ● Board review of financial risks such as the Group’s  liquidity, currency, interest rate and credit policies and exposures and monitors management’s actions to ensure they are in line with Group policy. The Board and management are placing extra focus  on mitigating a number of our material strategic, financial and non-financial risk types, due to their  potential to have a material impact on the Group, our customers, shareholders and the community, now or in the future. The material business risks with the greatest potential to impact on the financial outlook for the Group  ● Both electricity, and natural gas in particular, are  integral inputs into the Group’s manufacturing process, and affordable energy resources are critical if the Group is to maintain its competitive advantage. ● Operations on the east coast, we are reliant on regular and affordable shipping to the West Australian market to meet demand. Alternative transportation options would have a material impact on the financial outlook in the near term.  ● Supply constraints, market dysfunction and higher gas prices may impact many sectors of the economy including the mining and agricultural sectors on the demand side and the Group’s ability to source competitively priced raw material on the supply side. Significant changes in the state of affairs Total equity increased from $64,286,000 to $72,562,000 an increase of $8,275,000 that was driven by the increase in net profit for the year offset by FY23 interim  and FY22 final dividends totalling $6,136,000 which were  paid to shareholders in October 2022 and April 2023. Significant events after the balance date There have been no significant events after the  balance date. Indemnification and insurance of directors and officers The Group must, subject to certain exceptions set out in the constitution, indemnify each of its officers on a  full indemnity basis and to the full extent permitted by law against all losses, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the officer, as an officer of  the Group (including all liabilities incurred where the officer acts as an officer of any other body corporate  at the request of the Group) including any liability for negligence and for reasonable legal costs. During the year or since the end of the year, the Group has paid premiums in respect of a directors and officers liability insurance policy. Details of the nature  of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in respect of the policy have not been disclosed, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract. 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 9 Environmental regulation The Group’s activities are governed by a range of environmental legislation and regulations.

This information has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel (KMP) who are defined as those persons having authority and  responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company, and includes the three executives in the Group receiving the highest remuneration. Remuneration policy The remuneration policy is set in recognition that the performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. In order to perform, the Group must be successful in attracting, motivating and retaining Directors and executives of the highest quality. To assist in achieving this objective, the remuneration policy embodies the following principles: 1. Provide competitive remuneration to attract high calibre Directors and executives. 2. Align executive rewards with creation of shareholder value. Committee meetings Directors’ meetings Audit and Risk Nominations and Remuneration 11 11 11 11 11 11 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3.  Ensure a significant component of executive  remuneration is ‘at risk’ dependent upon meeting pre-determined performance hurdles. 4. Establish appropriately demanding performance hurdles in relation to variable executive remuneration. 5. Provide the opportunity for non-executive Directors to sacrifice a portion of their fees to acquire shares  in the Company at market price. Nominations and Remuneration Committee The Nominations and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, the Managing Director and CEO and other senior executives, and the review and recommendation of general remuneration principles. Remuneration structure The structure of non-executive Director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct, in accordance with good corporate governance principles. Non-executive director remuneration Objective The Board sets aggregate remuneration at a level  which is intended to provide the Company with the ability to attract and retain non-executive Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 11 Structure The Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules  specify that the non-executive Director fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The non-executive Director fee pool is currently set at $700,000. The remuneration of non-executive Directors must not include a commission on, or a percentage of, profits or operating revenue but non-executive  Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for travelling and other expenses incurred in attending to the Company’s affairs. Each non-executive Director receives a fee for being a non-executive Director of the Company and an additional fee for each Board Committee on  which a non-executive Director sits. The payment of additional fees for serving on a committee recognises the additional time commitment required by non-executive Directors who serve on one or more sub committees. Non-executive Directors are encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company and are able to  participate in the Non-executive Director (“NED”) Share Plan. Under the NED Share Plan a non-executive Director can choose to sacrifice up to 100% of their annual  Director’s fee and instead be allocated shares up to the equivalent value. The value of the allocated shares is determined by reference to the market value on the day they are acquired on market. The remuneration of non-executive Directors for the period ended 30 June 2023 is detailed in the table on page 15 of this report. Executive director and executive manager remuneration Objective The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their duties and responsibilities within the Group and to: ● reward executives for Group, business unit and individual performance measured against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks; ● link reward with the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals; ● align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and ● ensure total remuneration is competitive. Structure Executive Director and executive manager remuneration consists of the following key components: 1. Fixed Remuneration 2. Variable Remuneration made up of: –  Short Term Incentive (STI); and –  Long Term Incentive (LTI) The proportion of total remuneration that is fixed or  variable (either short term or long term incentives) is determined for each individual executive by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee. The remuneration of members of management who have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group for the Year ended 30 June 2023 is detailed in the table on page 15 of this report. Fixed remuneration Objective The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to  provide a base level of remuneration which is both commensurate with the individual’s duties and responsibilities within the Group and competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee utilising a process of reviewing group-wide, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal and external advice on policies and practice. Structure Executive Directors and executive managers are provided with the opportunity to receive their fixed  remuneration in a variety of forms, including cash, additional superannuation contributions and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles. The aim is to provide  payments in a form that is both optimal for the recipient and cost efficient for the Group. The fixed remuneration component of executive  Directors and members of management who have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group for the Year ended 30 June 2023 is detailed in the table on page 15 of this report. Variable remuneration – short term incentives (STI) Objective The STI program has been designed to align the remuneration received by executive Directors and 12 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Directors’ Report (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 respect of the forthcoming year. The proportion of the rights which vest depend on where within this range the Group performs, with 100% vesting on achieving the stretch ROE and no rights vesting if actual ROE is less than 90% of the budgeted ROE. For the rights granted prior to the 2022 year, the stretch ROE was set at 115% of the budget ROE. Any rights to which the employee may become entitled on achieving the performance criteria, are still subject to the three year retention criteria before they can vest. For grants since 2022, these rights are granted based on delivering superior long-term performance as measured by Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) over a three year performance period, determined by the Board in respect of each forthcoming three year  period. The rights which vest depend on achieving this target ROIC, with 100% vesting on achieving the ROIC and no rights vesting if actual ROIC is less than the target ROIC. Any rights to which the employee may become entitled on achieving the performance criteria, are still subject to being employed by Bisalloy for the  whole performance period. Any share rights which do not vest, as a result of the relevant performance condition not being satisfied,  lapse. If the holder leaves the business, the unvested rights lapse on the leaving date unless the Board  determines otherwise. In the event of a change in control of the Group, the vesting date will generally be brought forward to the date of change of control and share rights will vest subject to performance over this shortened period, subject to ultimate Board discretion. Once vested a holder may exercise their share rights and be allocated a fully paid ordinary share of Bisalloy  at no cost to the employee or the equivalent in cash at the Board’s discretion. Precedence suggests all plans  will be settled 50/50 between cash and shares. A total of 274,824 share rights (2022: 217,905) were granted under this scheme during the year. At the 2022 AGM, 98.10% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the Year ended 30 June 2022. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its  remuneration practices. executive managers with the achievement of the Group’s operational and financial targets. The total  potential STI available for payment is determined so as to provide sufficient incentive to executive Directors  and executive managers to achieve the targets and so that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances. Structure The actual STI payments granted to each executive Director and executive manager depends upon the extent to which specific operational and financial  targets set at the beginning of the financial year are  met. The targets consist of a number of both financial  and non-financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). After the end of each financial year, consideration  is given to performance against each of these KPIs to determine the extent of any payment to an individual executive Director or executive manager. The aggregate of STI payments and STI payments to individuals is subject to the approval of the Nominations and Remuneration Committee. The individual needs to be employed at the time of payment to be eligible for the payment. Payments made are normally paid as cash but the recipient is also able to elect to receive payment in alternative forms. Variable remuneration – long term incentives (LTI) Objective The LTI program has been designed to align the remuneration received by executive Directors and executive managers with the creation of shareholder wealth. Consequently, LTI grants are only made to executives who are in a position to influence shareholder wealth  and thus have the opportunity to influence the  company’s performance against the relevant long term performance hurdles. Structure At the 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM), the LTI plan was renewed for LTI grants to executives in the form of share rights. For grants prior to 2022, these rights are granted in two equal parts. The first part is based on retention and  requires the holder remain an employee for three years from grant date. The second part is based on delivering superior long-term performance as measured by Return on Equity (“ROE”), with each grant of rights divided into three equal tranches. For each tranche, actual ROE is measured against a budget ROE and a stretch ROE as determined annually by the Board in  2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 13 Group performance The Board has determined that 100% of the performance components of the 2023 share rights have vested based  on an ROE achieved that was above stretch ROE.

Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) 2.2 Contract balances (continued) Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 30 to 90 days end of month. Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from shipping and handling services as receipt of consideration is conditional on delivery of the steel plates. Upon delivery of the steel plates, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.  Contract liabilities are recognised for shipping and handling services yet to be provided with respect to the steel plates invoiced and for any settlement discounts expected to be obtained by customers. 2.3 Performance Obligations The Group’s contracts with customers are for the sale of steel plates. In completing the sale of the steel plates, there are two performance obligations identified, being the provision of steel plates and the provision of shipping and  handling. The Group has concluded that revenue from the provision of steel plates is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer and revenue from the services of shipping and handling are recognised over time as the service is performed. As at 30 June 2023, the unsatisfied performance obligations per each segment is presented below.

Property, plant and equipment (continued) Revaluation of freehold land and freehold buildings b) Freehold land and freehold buildings are required by the Group to be externally revalued every three years at minimum. In addition to this, Indonesian freehold land and freehold buildings are required to be externally revalued every 12 months in order to meet lending requirements stipulated by their finance provider.  Fair value is the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm’s length transaction as at the valuation date. Fair value is determined by direct reference to recent market transactions on arm’s length terms for land and buildings comparable in size and location to those held by the Group, and to market based yields for comparable properties. In 2022, the Group engaged KJPP Jimmy Prasetyo & Rekan, accredited independent valuers to determine the fair value of its Indonesian land and buildings. The effective date of the valuation was 30 June 2022 and fair value was determined as $2,347,391. In 2022, the Group engaged Herron Todd White, accredited independent valuers to determine the fair value of its Australian land and buildings respectively. The effective date of the valuation was 30 June 2022 and fair value was determined as $17,800,000. There has been no change in the valuation technique in current or prior period. For June 2023, it was determined by the finance provider and supported by the directors that there was no  significant change in fair value for its Indonesian land and buildings. The directors also determined that there was  no significant change in fair value for its Australian land and buildings. c) Carrying amounts if land and buildings were measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment If land and buildings were measured using the cost model the carrying amounts would be as follows: In thousands of dollars Cost Accumulated depreciation and impairment Net carrying amount Consolidated 2023 Freehold land and buildings 2022 Freehold land and buildings 7,632 (2,967) 4,665 7,028 (2,524) 4,504 Leased assets d) ‘Property, plant and equipment’ comprise of owned and leased assets that do not meet the definition of  investment property.

Share-based payment plans Long Term Incentives (LTI) Plan The LTI program has been designed to align the remuneration received by executive directors and senior managers with the creation of shareholder wealth. Consequently LTI grants are only made to executives who are in a position to influence shareholder wealth  and thus have the opportunity to influence the  company’s performance against the relevant long term performance hurdles. Structure At the 2022 Annual General Meeting, an LTI plan was renewed for LTI grants to executives in the form of share rights. For grants prior to 2022, those rights were granted in two equal parts. The first part is based on retention and  requires the holder remain an employee for three years from grant date. The second part is based on delivering superior long-term performance as measured by Return on Equity (“ROE”), with each grant of rights divided into three equal tranches. For each tranche, actual ROE is measured against a budget ROE and a stretch ROE as determined annually by the Board in  respect of the forthcoming year. The proportion of the rights which vest depend on where within this range the Group performs, with 100% vesting on achieving the stretch ROE and no rights vesting if actual ROE is less than 90% of the budgeted ROE. For the 2023 year the stretch ROE was set at 115% of the budget ROE. Any rights to which the employee may become entitled on achieving the performance criteria, are still subject to the three year retention criteria before they can vest. Any share rights which do not vest, as a result of the relevant performance condition not being satisfied,  lapse. If the holder leaves the business, the unvested rights lapse on the leaving date unless the Board  determines otherwise. In the event of a change in control of the Group, the vesting date will generally be brought forward to the date of change of control and share rights will vest subject to performance over this shortened period, subject to ultimate Board discretion. For grants in 2022 and 2023, these rights are granted are based on delivering superior long-term performance as measured by Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) over a three year performance period, determined by the Board in respect of each  forthcoming three year period. The rights which vest depend on achieving this target ROIC, with 100% vesting on achieving the ROIC and no rights vesting if actual ROIC is less than the target ROIC. Any rights to which the employee may become entitled on achieving the performance criteria, are still subject to being employed by Bisalloy for the whole  performance period. Once vested a holder may exercise their share rights and be allocated a fully paid ordinary share of Bisalloy  at no cost to the employee or the equivalent in cash at the Board’s discretion.  During the 30 June 2023 financial year, 274,824 share  rights were awarded to executives under this scheme. A fair value expressed as a value per share right has been determined as at the grant date for each grant of rights. The rights have been valued according to a discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology. The share  price at valuation date and a 5.0% dividend yield for Grants 21 and 22, and a 7.3% dividend yield for Grant 20 (based on historic and future estimates at the time) formed the basis of the valuation. Refer to note 28(n) for further details on the valuation methodology. The following table lists the valuation outputs for outstanding grants as at 30 June 2023: Grant 15 Grant 17 Grant 18 Grant 19 Grant 20 Grant 21 Grant 22 Expiry term of three years Value of one right Proportion of rights that are outstanding $0.82 $1.89 $1.43 $1.43 $1.53 $1.80 $1.80 94.26% 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 41 15.

The Board has established an Audit and Risk  Committee comprising non-executive directors, whose meetings are also attended by the executive directors. In addition sub-committees are convened as appropriate in response to issues and risks identified  by the Board, and the sub-committee further examines  the issue and reports back to the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to  ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These  include the following: -  Board approval of a strategic plan, which  encompasses the Group’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk. -  Implementation of Board approved operating plans  and budgets and Board monitoring of progress  against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs of both a financial and  non-financial nature. - The establishment of committees to report on specific business risks, including for example,  matters such as environmental issues and concerns and occupational health and safety. -  The Board reviews financial risks such as the Group’s  liquidity, currency, interest rate and credit policies and exposures and monitors management’s actions to ensure they are in line with Group policy. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if  a customer fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers. Trade and other receivables The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced  mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The Group has a narrow customer base 46 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 18.

A credit policy is in place, the objective of which is: - To ensure all credit worthiness checks are carried out prior to opening new credit accounts and appropriate authorisations obtained; - To ensure the approved credit limit is appropriate to the inherent risk of trading with any particular customer; - To ensure all orders are converted into cash within trading terms; - To minimise late payments and any potential bad debts through the constant application of sound commercial debtor management on a continuing basis; Goods are sold subject to retention of title clauses that permit the Group to reclaim stock from a customer up to the value of monies owed in the event: ● Official Manager ● Receiver and Manager ● Administrator ● Liquidator The Group performs an impairment analysis at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e. geographical region and coverage by insurance). The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time  value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The maximum exposure to credit risk for these financial assets is limited to their  carrying amounts as disclosed in note 10. The Group does not hold collateral as security. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Group has for a number of years had credit insurance in place for Australian, selected export sales, and Indonesian local sales.

Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) 18.3 Financial risk management (continued) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s  approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to  meet its liabilities as and when they fall due without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damaging the Group’s reputation. On 17 December 2021 the Group entered into a new facility agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation. The  facility comprises a $5.5m bank bill facility (decreased from $7.0m), a $12m invoice finance facility and a $9m trade  finance facility. The drawn invoice finance facility balance is limited to the value of the available collateral being  eligible receivables and fluctuates daily. Eligible trade receivables, eligible inventory, plant and equipment and real  property constitute available collateral. At reporting date, the carrying amount of assets pledged as collateral was $90.0m (2022: $86.2m). The Group also has a IDR 44.5 billion revolver facility with BCA in Indonesia. This facility is renewed annually with land  and buildings pledged as collateral. In addition to the eligible collateral, the Group has several general and financial undertakings which it must comply  with including an Equity Ratio covenant, a Leverage Ratio covenant and an Interest Cover Ratio covenant. Due to the nature of the facility, cashflow is managed on a daily basis, comparing actual against forecast collateral,  receipts and payments. Each month a complete review is undertaken of the projected daily cashflow.  Contractual maturity of financial liabilities The table below reflects all contractually fixed payments for settlement, repayments and interest resulting from  recognised financial liabilities, including derivative financial instruments as at 30 June 2023.  For derivative financial instruments the market value is presented, whereas for the other obligations the respective  undiscounted cash flows for the respective upcoming fiscal years are presented. Cash flows for financial assets and  liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2023.

Leasing obligations, trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of assets used  in our ongoing operations such as property, plant, equipment and investments in working capital (e.g., inventories and trade receivables). These assets are considered in the Group’s overall liquidity risk. To monitor existing financial assets and liabilities as well as to enable an effective controlling of future risks,  the Group has established comprehensive risk reporting covering its operation that reflects expectations of  management of expected settlement of financial assets and liabilities. 48 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 18.

Foreign exchange risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will  fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange  rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in different currency from the Group’s functional currency) and the Group’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries. The Group manages its foreign currency risk by hedging transactions that are expected to occur within a maximum twelve-month period. The Group generally adopts a policy of covering exchange exposures related to purchases and sales of product at the time they are incurred or committed. Throughout the year the foreign exchange risk has been actively managed through periodic risk assessments. The objective of these assessments is to stratify foreign exchange exposure into risk categories and enable available hedge facilities to be applied to those assessed as higher risk. Risk assessments take into account macroeconomic lead indicators such as interest rate differentials, inflation rate differentials and externally published  market analytical data to determine the likelihood of movement in exchange rates. The likelihood is applied to the Group’s foreign currency exposure to determine financial impact on a sensitivity basis. 50 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023    18.

The Group monitors the underlying interest rate outlook and considers the use of interest rate derivatives (principally swaps) to manage the exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s interest bearing borrowings.

Assets/Liabilities Measured at Fair value The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities. The methods comprise: Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 – the fair value is calculated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for  the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable  market data. The fair value of the assets and liabilities as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised in the table below. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the  Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each  reporting period. At 30 June 2023 the fair values of land, buildings and improvements were determined by reference to valuations performed in June 2022 (Note 13 (b)). For properties not subject to independent valuations, fair value was determined by Directors’ valuation. 52 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 l a t o T – 7 4 1 , 0 2 7 4 1 , 0 2 5 9 5 9 – – – – – – 7 4 1 , 0 2 7 4 1 , 0 2 5 9 5 9 – – – – – 3 3 7 4 1 , 0 2 0 8 1 , 0 2 8 0 1 8 0 1 – – – – – 3 3 7 4 1 , 0 2 0 8 1 , 0 2 8 0 1 8 0 1 – – – – – t e k r a m n o n t e k r a m n o i t a u a V l n o i t a u a V l i - e u q n h c e t i - e u q n h c e t 2 2 0 2 e n u J 0 3 d e d n e r a e Y t e k r a m n o n t e k r a m n o i t a u a V l n o i t a u a V l i - e u q n h c e t i - e u q n h c e t 3 2 0 2 e n u J 0 3 d e d n e r a e Y l e b a v r e s b o l e b a v r e s b o d e t o u Q s t u p n i ) 3 l e v e L ( s t u p n i ) 2 l e v e L ( e c i r p t e k r a m ) 1 l e v e L ( l a t o T l e b a v r e s b o l e b a v r e s b o d e t o u Q s t u p n i ) 3 l e v e L ( s t u p n i ) 2 l e v e L ( ) 1 l e v e L ( e c i r p t e k r a m s r a l l o d f o s d n a s u o h t n I s g n d i l i u B & d n a L d e t a d i l o s n o C s t e s s A s t c a r t n o c e g n a h c x e n g e r o F i s t c a r t n o c e g n a h c x e n g e r o F i s e i t i l i b a i L ) d e u n i t n o c ( t n e m e g a n a m k s i r l i a c n a n i F . 3 8 1 . l e t a d e c n a a b t a e t a r e g n a h c x e t n e r r u c e h t o t e c n e r e f e r y b d e t a u c a c s l l i s t c a r t n o c y c n e r r u c d r a w r o f f o e u a v l r i a f e h T s e i r o g e t a c n e e w t e b r e f s n a r T . l i e u a v g n y r r a c e h t s e t a m i i x o r p p a s g n w o r r o b d n a s n a o l f o e u a v l r i a f e h T . r a e y e h t g n i r u d s e v e l l n e e w t e b s r e f s n a r t o n e r e w e r e h T 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 53 ) d e u n i t n o c ( s e i t i l i b a i l l i a c n a n fi d n a s t e s s a l i a c n a n i F . 8 1     19.

The Group also aims to maintain a capital structure that delivers the lowest cost of capital available to its operations. The Group adjusts the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the economic conditions change, the Group may change the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 30 June 2023 and 2022. The Group monitors capital through the gearing ratio (net debt/ total equity plus net debt) and currently targets a gearing ratio of between 0% and 35%. The Group includes within net debt interest bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) a) Basis of preparation (continued) The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that Instrument, all financial information presented in  Australian Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements provide  comparative information in respect of the previous period. Comparative information Comparative information is consistent with the current years presentation. b) Basis of consolidation and investments in joint venture The consolidated financial statements comprise the  financial statements of the Company, being Bisalloy  Steel Group Limited, and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) as at the reporting date. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are  prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits  arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held  by the Group, and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial  position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent. The Group has an interest in a joint venture, which is a jointly controlled entity, whereby the venturers have a contractual arrangement that establishes joint 66 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report control over the economic activities of the entity. The Group’s investment in the joint venture is accounted for using the equity method and is not part of the consolidated Group. Under the equity method, the investment in the joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. The statement of profit or loss and other  comprehensive income reflects the Group’s share of  the results of operations of the joint venture. When there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture. The Group’s share of profit of the joint venture is shown  on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other  comprehensive income. In the application of the Group’s accounting policies as described below, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management have not made any significant  accounting judgements which affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing  material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: –  nature of the products and services, –  nature of production processes, Property, plant and equipment The Group measures the fair value of land buildings by reference to valuations performed at reporting date. The fair value is determined by an external valuer every three years, unless determined by Directors’ valuation that the fair value has moved significantly or at the  request of a finance provider. The valuation method is  detailed in note 18.3. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees (including directors and other senior executives) by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using discounted cash flow models using the assumptions dealt with in  note 28(n). The Group measures the cost of cash-settled transactions with employees (including directors and other senior executives) by reference to the fair value at the reporting date. The fair value is determined by reference to the price of shares of the issuer. d) Operating segments An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes  start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the Board of directors. Operating segments have been identified and  based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers – being the executive  management team. The Group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects: –  type or class of customer for their products  and services, –  methods use to distribute their products or provide  their services, and if applicable –  nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately.  However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. e) Taxation Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically  evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial  reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: –  when the deferred income tax liability arises from  the initial recognition of goodwill or 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 –  in respect of taxable temporary differences  associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, when the 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 67 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) e) Taxation (continued) 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 tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry-forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised 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 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 –  in respect of deductible temporary differences  associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only 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 tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit  will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting 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 tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit  or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax  items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset 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. Bisalloy Steel Group Limited and its wholly-owned  Australian controlled entities implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003. The head entity, Bisalloy Steel 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 Group allocation approach 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, Bisalloy Steel Group Limited also recognises the current  tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused losses. Assets or liabilities under tax funding arrangements with the tax consolidation entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. 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. f) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and short term deposits in the statement of financial position and the cash flow statement  is comprised of cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of  changes in value. g) Trade and other receivables A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in note 28(p) Financial instruments.  Inventories h) Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are  valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows: Raw materials: Purchase cost is on a weighted average cost basis. 68 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) h) Inventories (continued) Work in progress and finished goods: Cost of direct materials, labour and an appropriate proportion of manufacturing overheads is based on normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Property, plant and equipment i) Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. 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 the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repairs and maintenance  are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred. Land and buildings are measured at fair value using the revaluation model, less accumulated depreciation on buildings and any impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation. Valuations are performed every three years, or sooner should there be a significant change in market conditions or other  market requirements such as in Indonesia where land and buildings are revalued every 12 months as a result of lending requirements, to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the specific assets as  follows: –  Land  –  Buildings  not depreciated 50 years –  Plant and equipment  1 – 20 years –  Leasehold improvements   5 – 10 years or lease life  if shorter The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, at each financial year end. Revaluations of land and buildings Any revaluation increment is credited to the asset revaluation reserve in equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrement for the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the  increment is recognised in profit or loss. Any revaluation decrement is recognised in profit  or loss, except to the extent that it offsets a previous revaluation increment for the same asset, in which case the decrement is debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve to the extent of the credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve for that asset. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amounts of the assets and the net amounts are restated to the revalued amounts of the assets. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the profit or loss. Upon disposal or derecognition, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings. Derecognition An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or  disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit and loss in the period the  item is derecognised. j) Intangible assets Recognition and measurement Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit  or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group  intends to and has sufficient resources to complete  development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent  to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied  in the specific asset to which it relates. All other  expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 69 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) j) Intangible assets (continued) Amortisation Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognised in profit or loss.  The estimated useful life for current periods for development costs is 3 years. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Trade and other payables k) Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and 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. Contributed equity l) Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity, net of tax, as a reduction of the share proceeds received. m) Employee benefits Liabilities arising in respect of short-term employee benefits such as annual leave and sick leave represent  the amount which the entity has a present obligation to pay resulting from employees’ services provided up to the balance date. Liabilities in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at their  nominal amounts. Long-term employee benefit liabilities such as long  service leave represent the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the  employer resulting from employees’ services provided up to the balance date. Long-term employee benefit  liabilities are measured at their present values using corporate bond rates which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. In determining the employee benefit liabilities,  consideration has been given to future increases in wage and salary rates, and the Group’s experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also been included in the liability. 70 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report The Group contributes to defined contribution  superannuation plans, as well as an unfunded defined  benefit plan in Indonesia and a defined benefit plan  in Thailand. Share-based payment transactions n) Employees (including directors and other senior executives) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of a grant of Rights, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (‘equity-settled transactions’). There is currently a Share Rights Plan in place to provide these benefits. If the  issue of shares in the Board’s opinion does not achieve  the desired outcome, then the Board may determine  to satisfy the entitlement to Shares under a Vested Right in the form of cash rather than Shares. In recent years, there have been a number of instances in which settlement has taken the form of 50% equity and 50% cash (‘cash-settled transactions’). Equity-settled transactions The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a discounted cash flow  methodology. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the issuer (‘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, ending on the date on which the  relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). Cash-settled transactions The cost of cash-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the reporting date and ultimately at settlement. The fair value is determined by reference to the price of the shares of the issuer (‘market conditions’). The cost of cash-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in liability, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the  relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). The cumulative expense recognised for both equity-settled and cash-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects the extent to  Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) n) Share-based payment transactions (continued) which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. This estimate is formed based on the best available information at balance date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive  income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. No expense is recognised for Rights that do not ultimately vest. Any Rights that do not become vested Rights, lapse. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding Rights is reflected as additional share dilution in the  computation of diluted earnings per share. Provisions o) 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. Where 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 related to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the  liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost. Financial instruments p) A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to  a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or  equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as  subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.  The classification of financial assets at initial  recognition depends on the financial asset’s  contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s  business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant  financing component, the Group initially measures  a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of  a financial asset not at fair value through profit or  loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which  the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the accounting policies in note 28(r) Revenue from contracts with customers. In order for a financial asset to be classified and  measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely  payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. The Group’s business model for managing financial  assets refers to how it manages its financial assets  in order to generate cash flows. The business model  determines whether cash flows will result from  collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial  assets, or both. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require  delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Subsequent measurement For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial  assets are classified in four categories:  –  Financial assets at amortised cost  (debt instruments) –  Financial assets at fair value through OCI  with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments) –  Financial assets designated at fair value through  OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments) –  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss  Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments) This category is the most relevant to the Group. The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if  both of the following conditions are met: 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 71 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) p) Financial instruments (continued) –  The financial asset is held within a business model  with the objective to hold financial assets in order to  collect contractual cash flows; and –  The contractual terms of the financial asset give  rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely  payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is  derecognised, modified or impaired.  The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost include  trade receivables. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss  include derivative assets which are mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are  designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are  carried in the statement of financial position at fair  value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.  Derecognition A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a  financial asset or part of a group of similar financial  assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial  position) when the rights to receive cash flows from the  asset have expired. Impairment Further disclosures relating to impairment of financial  assets are also provided in the following notes: –  Significant accounting judgements, estimates  and assumptions - Trade and other receivables Note 28(c) Note 28(g) The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the  difference between the contractual cash flows due in  accordance with the contract and all the cash flows  that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the  sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in  credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial  recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs.  Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the  economic environment. The Group considers a financial asset in default when  internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in. A financial asset is written off when  there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.  Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition,  as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or  loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair  value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and  other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and derivative financial instruments.  Subsequent measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on  their classification, as described below:  Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss  include financial liabilities held for trading and financial  72 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) p) Financial instruments (continued) liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.  The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.  Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if  they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group  that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Separated  embedded derivatives are also classified as held  for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.  Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at  the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. The Group has not designated any  financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.  Financial liabilities at amortised cost This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the  liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit  or loss. All loans and borrowings are classified as current  liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings. For more information, refer to Note 18. Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation  under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced  by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or  modification is treated as the derecognition of the  original liability and the recognition of a new liability. Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset  and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently  enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. q) Goods and services tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), or GST equivalents, such as Value Added Tax, except: –  where the amount of GST incurred is not  recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO),  or equivalent foreign organisations. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expenses; –  receivables and payables are stated with the  amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash  flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash  flows arising from investing and financing activities  which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO 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. Revenue from contracts with r) customers The Group is in the business of manufacturing and selling quench and tempered steel plates. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration  to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, as it controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer. 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 73 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) r) Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of steel plates is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, which is on delivery of the goods for domestic sales, on invoice for Bill and Hold sales and on  bill of lading for export sales. Revenue from the services of shipping and handling is recognised over time as the service is performed. The normal credit terms are 30 to 90 days upon end of month invoiced. have been delivered. Should a significant financing  component exist, the Group will apply the practical expedient in AASB 15. Using this, the Group does not  adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it  expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated (e.g., shipping). In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components,  non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any). (i) Variable consideration If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of  cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Some contracts for the sale of steel plates provide customers with a right of return and early settlement discounts. The rights of return and early settlement discounts give rise to variable consideration. Early Settlement Discounts The Group provides early settlement discounts to certain customers if the payment for the sale of goods is made within a specified period of time. The discounts  are offset against amounts payable by the customer. To estimate the variable consideration to which it will be entitled, the Group applies the ‘expected value method’ to estimate the settlement discounts that will be issued. This method best predicts the amount of variable consideration to which the Group will be entitled. The Group then applies the requirements on constraining estimates of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price. (ii) Significant financing component Generally, the Group receives payment for the sale of goods between 30 to 90 days after the goods (iii) Non-cash consideration The Group does not receive non-cash consideration for the sale of goods. Contract balances Contract Assets A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Trade Receivables A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section p) Financial instruments –  initial recognition and subsequent measurement. Contract Liabilities A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract. s) Other Income Interest income Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset to the net  carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income  74 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) s) Other Income (continued) is included in finance income in the statement of profit  or loss and other comprehensive income. Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established. Borrowing costs t) Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,  construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs  consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Bisalloy Steel  Group Limited does not currently hold qualifying assets but, if it did, the borrowing costs directly associated with this asset would be capitalised (including any other associated costs directly attributable to the borrowing and temporary investment income earned on the borrowing). Leases u) At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of  time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease  in AASB 16.  This policy is applied to contracts entered into, on or after 1 July 2020. Group as a lessee At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, the Group has elected for all leases in which it is a lessee, not to separate non-lease components and will instead account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the  Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if the that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to  reflect the terms of the lease and type of asset leased.  Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise of the following: –  Fixed payments, included in-substance  fixed payments; –  Variable lease payments that depend on an index  or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; –  Amounts expected to be payable under a residual  value guarantee; and –  The exercise price under a purchase option that  the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 75 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) u) Leases (continued) in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes it assessment of where it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or recorded in profit  or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Group presents right-of-use assets in ‘property, plant and equipment’, the same line item as it presents underlying assets of the same nature that it owns and lease liabilities in ‘lease liabilities’ in the statement of financial position. differences arising on the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve within equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Earnings per share (EPS) w) Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to  members, adjusted to exclude 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, adjusted for: Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets –  costs of servicing equity (other than dividends); The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Foreign currency translation v) The Group’s consolidated financial statements  are presented in Australian dollars (AUD$), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured  using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial  position date. All differences are taken to profit or loss. Non-monetary  items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. The functional currency of the foreign operations is the currency in circulation in the country they each reside in. As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the Company’s presentation currency (AUD$) at the rate of exchange ruling at balance date, and their income statements are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The exchange –  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. x) Derivative financial instruments and hedging The Group uses derivative financial instruments  such as forward currency contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair  value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when  the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when  the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly to net profit or loss for the year. The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair  value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to market values for similar instruments. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as: 76 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) x) Derivative financial instruments and hedging (continued) –  fair value hedges: when hedging the exposure to  changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; or –  cash flow hedges: when hedging exposure to  variability in cash flows that is either attributable  to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the  hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies  for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements: –  There is ‘an economic relationship’ between the  hedged item and the hedging instrument. –  The effect of credit risk does not ‘dominate  the value changes’ that result from that economic relationship. –  The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is  the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. Hedges that meet all the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as described below: Cash Flow Hedges The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in equity, while the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss.  Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive  income when the hedged transaction affects profit  or loss, such as when hedged financial income or  financial expense is recognised or when a forecast sale  or purchase occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts taken  to equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss. If the hedging instrument  expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. If the related transaction is not expected to occur, the amount is taken to profit or loss.  Fair Value Hedges The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other  comprehensive income as a finance cost. When an unrecognised firm commitment is designated  as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable  to the hedged risk is recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in profit  or loss. The Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge no longer meets criteria for hedge accounting or the Group revokes the designation. Any adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedge financial instrument for which the effective interest  method is used is amortised to the profit or loss.  Amortisation may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and shall begin no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged. Fair Value Measurement y) The Group measure financial instruments such as  derivatives at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: –  in the principal market for the asset or liability, or –  in the absence of a principal market, in the most  advantageous market for the asset or liability. 2023 Annual Report Bisalloy Steel Group Limited | 77 28. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) z) Changes in accounting standards The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are  consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements  for the Year ended 30 June 2022, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 July 2022. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. aa) Standards issued but not yet effective A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2022 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements. No  new standard is considered to have a material impact on the Group. y) Fair Value Measurement (continued) The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value,  maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are  categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: –  Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in  active markets for identical assets or liabilities –  Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest  level input that is significant to the fair value  measurement is directly or indirectly observable –  Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest  level input that is significant to the fair value  measurement is unobservable. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group  determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the  fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of the reporting period. 78 | Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2023 Annual Report Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)For the year ended 30 June 2023 In accordance with a resolution of the directors of Bisalloy Steel Group Limited, I state that: In the opinion of the directors: a.  the financial statements and notes of the consolidated entity are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i)   giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its  performance for the Year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001; b.  the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (AASB) as  disclosed in note 28. c. there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. d. as at the date of this declaration, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the members of the Closed Group identified in Note 24 will be able to meet any obligations or liabilities to which they are or may become  subject, by virtue of the Deed of Cross Guarantee. e. this declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made to the Directors in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial Year ended 30 June 2023.
