Cover Image Image of the Sydney Modern Project as produced by Kazuyo Sejima + Rye Nishizawa / SANAA (c) Art Gallery of New South Wales, 2021 Chairman’s Report On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the FY2022 BSA Annual Financial Report and provide shareholders with an update on our progress in a year which once again proved to being dynamic and unpredictable. Despite a year of challenges and change, the Group finds itself on a stronger financial footing and at an inflection point to move forward and achieve its stated goals. In Australia, following a disrupted year prior, there were glimmers of hope for a return to normal. Because of the level of border closures, red zones, travel restrictions, isolation mandates and ongoing testing for COVID-19, the impacts were being felt across the economy, and BSA was certainly not immune to these impediments in doing business. It was challenging to navigate the protocols and government restrictions particularly in the first half of FY2022 which significantly affected both the Communications and Utilities Infrastructure (CUI) and our Advanced Property Solutions (APS) business. Indirect impacts included project award delays, mobilisation challenges and having to navigate control measures put in place to keep our employees, contractors and customers safe, which was our primary concern. The stringent health controls implemented dramatically increased the incidence of employees sick leave as a result of ‘close contact’ rules, which evolved during the financial year. This complicated BSA’s provision of contracted services to our customers. Following on from the previous year, we successfully developed a hybrid method of operations with our workforce, seamlessly integrating ‘work from home’ with ‘on the job’ opportunities, to the advantage of our customers. On behalf of the Board, I commend our workforce for its resilience and flexibility. However, whilst the Group continued to plan to meet its major strategic expansion objectives, the ability to achieve the targets was tested by fluctuating management priorities in the continually uncertain environment. Despite this, the Board continued to encourage the development of both culture and values. The Group’s structure has evolved to adapt to client demand and spending patterns with a clear focus on excellent service delivery using a sustainable cost base. 4 Nicholas Yates 2022 Key Highlights* $466.4 million Revenue $0.1 million EBITDA ($8.7) million Net Loss *pre-significant items (refer page 6) BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 KEY DEVELOPMENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR: Class Action Settlement All stakeholders had been made aware of the Class Action brought against the Group by Shine Lawyers alleging that independent contractors should be treated as employees. The Group has consistently defended its position. However, the Board re-evaluated the defense of the legal case and associated opportunity cost against the merits of a commercial solution which was to reduce damage to the Group. The Board considered management distraction from running our existing business and concluded, that the legal action represented a major obstacle to winning new work in addition to impacting on existing client relationships. In February 2022, the Board opted for a commercial solution to enable the Group to move forward and a provisional agreement was reached with Shine, subject to Court approval to pay a settlement of $20 million, over three years, funded from current and future operating cash flows. As a result, the settlement, plus associated costs, totalling $23.5 million, have been recognised as a significant one-off cost in the results for the financial year. The Federal Court subsequently approved the settlement in July 2022. Capital Raise During April 2022, the Board undertook a $13.5 million capital raise (before costs) which was supported by its three major shareholders. The funds received were utilised for general working capital purposes. At the time of the raise, the Board considered its strategic statement published on 8 February 2021 which targeted a 3 year growth target to FY2024 of $750 million revenue at a minimum of 5% EBITDA margins. This statement was retracted on 6 April 2022 due to the ongoing external volatility, the Class Action and the subsequent management changes. It is imperative to point out that this does not diminish our long-term strategic ambitions, however we must adjust for our current trading conditions. The Group is now focused upon four short-term priorities for its ongoing business being: • • • to simplify its structures to best service clients; to right size the cost base to better match current revenue projections; to prioritise immediate term initiatives; and • most importantly, to retain our key people and talent. These initiatives have been progressed by the business resulting in improved FY2022 second half trading and setting a base for improved performance in FY2023. Occupational Health and Safety The Group and the Board are continually reviewing their Occupational Health and Safety standards in the best interests of its employees and contractors. We are pleased to show that in this financial year, management has remained very focused on proactively managing all risks across the portfolio and analysing all incidents and potential incidents. One of the forward looking initiatives was to continue to hold an on-line ‘Stop for Safety’ day to remind employees and contractors of the importance of safety especially leading into the year end holidays. Over 1,000 employees and contractors attended the Zoom meeting during which the Group partnered with ‘Gotcha4Life’ to focus on mental health and mental fitness. Management is determined to embed mental wellness into the existing BSA programs. Safety systems are continuously reviewed and improved to adhere to client and international standards and to ensure that our staff and contractors are safe at work. 5 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Board and executive changes The last two years high-level financial results are: During the year, there have been some Board and management changes. In November 2021, Paul Teisseire retired as a director. Paul’s input over the last 15 years has been invaluable especially as Audit and Risk Committee Chair. Paul was replaced immediately after the 2021 Annual General Meeting by Brendan York who also took on the role as Audit and Risk Committee Chair. Brendan brings a wealth of experience in financial management and compliance. In March 2022, Michael Givoni retired after 17 years serving as a Non- executive Director and more recently as Chairman since April 2015. His area of expertise was in strategy, business development and mergers & acquisitions. Michael provided considerable input in developing the strategy of the business and provided great leadership. I have the privilege of taking the helm as Interim Chair and would like to thank Michael for his guidance and support. In April 2022, Timothy Harris resigned as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). At the same time a broader cost optimisation strategy was executed across the leadership team. Arno Becker, the then Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) has stepped up to assume the role of Interim CEO as well as his ongoing function as CFO. The Group and its employees have shown their resilience and support during considerable change. The Board has commenced the process to appoint a new CEO and is looking at both internal and external candidates. In the interim the Board remains confident that the structures in place support the delivery of services to our customers. Financial and Operational Performance Our financial performance in FY2022 has been challenging. Whilst the Group achieved a small growth in revenue and other income of 10.4% compared to the prior year, the EBITDA before significant items margin was materially eroded. The Board’s focus is to re-establish appropriate margin to our existing revenue base and generate positive operating cash flows. The Group has a fixed timetable in relation to the Class Action settlement payments over the next two years which shapes the Group’s capital allocation strategy as potential dividends relating to profits generated by the Group are restricted until Class Action payments have been made each financial year.

The CEO’s report will outline these results in more detail. Finally, I would like to thank my fellow Directors, the Executive Leadership Team and the BSA workforce including both employees and contractors, for their commitment over the year. It has been an extraordinarily challenging time and all Group personnel have adapted to new circumstances and to unforeseen and ongoing matters outside our control. While the challenges remain and continue to evolve, our workforce has shown its resilience and we are addressing all challenges giving the Board confidence that this laser sharp focus will remain. I remain optimistic as to BSA’s future given the positive momentum from the latter part of the year and believe that all stakeholders should be confident that the operational and leadership changes put in place will support the future of the Group. I look forward to reporting back to shareholders next year with more progress. Nicholas Yates Interim Chair | 23 August 2022 Westconnex3A Tunnel - Roadway.

Image courtesy of WestConnex 6 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CEO’s Report OPERATIONAL UPDATE I would like to thank all of the staff and contractors of BSA for their efforts throughout the year. Your work, day in day out, to service our clients makes a considerable difference. FY2022 proved to be a challenging year for BSA. The first half of the financial year was significantly impacted by COVID-19; most notably: • • • • Closure of construction sites on the East Coast; Reclassification of “Essential Services” impacting previously unaffected contracts, clients and platforms including smart metering and Foxtel; Restrictions on travel impacting labor demand across states; and Health protocols significantly reducing the productivity of the workforce. The Group’s approach in navigating the impacts of COVID-19 was to target a return to normal scenario. This scenario was estimated to occur once the population achieved a 95% vaccination rate under public health targets and was originally forecast to occur by the end of the first half of FY2022. The Group retained its cost base and infrastructure put in place to deliver on its growth strategy which included significant investment in people, systems and its operating model. At the same time the Group was defending a Class Action brought against it by Shine Lawyers. This had a significant impact on management resources, client relationships and operating expenses. In February 2022 BSA reached a commercial settlement with Shine Lawyers amounting to $20 million, excluding legal costs, to be paid over a three-year period from current and future operating cashflows. Management and the Board assessed this commercial decision in the best interests of shareholders. Unfortunately, expected trading did not return in the second half of FY2022 to the levels required to sustain the existing cost base. In addition, the East Coast of Australia experienced an unprecedented amount of rainfall in Q3 FY2022. This significantly impacted progress on construction and service sites. Arno Becker BSA | Group $466.4 million Revenue FY2021 $422.5million $0.1 million EBITDA FY2021 $20.1million *pre-significant items (refer page 6) 7 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CEO’s REPORT On reflection, the impact of COVID-19 and other items on BSA’s business were more adverse than originally estimated with the aggregated impact of the above resulting in losses over the period. The Group has commenced to address this by focusing on its delivery model and overhead structure. In April 2022, the Group successfully restructured its operating processes, making significant changes to the cost base. The Group also undertook a capital raise of $13.5 million before costs to be utilised for general working capital purposes. The support from existing shareholders was vital. The last quarter of the financial year showed positive signs indicating a gradual return to a sustainable operating rhythm and generation of appropriate returns. Most importantly, we have a talented workforce that has proved to be incredibly resilient under difficult circumstances and are looking forward to the upcoming financial year where we anticipate to have an un- interrupted year to our delivery models. WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY The health, safety and wellbeing of our people continued to remain a key focus in FY2022 as we underpinned our value of ‘we work safe and go home safe’. In FY2021 BSA conducted a Health and Safety (“HSE”) Index survey. The results of the survey were utilised to develop the FY2022 health, safety and wellbeing program under the below strategic pillars of: • • • • Leadership; Systems and Risk; Engagement; and Health and Wellbeing. Key achievements for the year include: • • • • • The establishment of the health and wellness hub; A refreshed critical risk control program; Consolidation of our health, safety and environment (HSE) systems; The automation of HSE dashboards through Power BI; and Our celebration of the Safe Work Australia month in October with BSA’s Annual Stop for Safety Day having a mental health focus. The day closed with an inspiring session by Gus Worland from Gotcha4Life. Our injury frequency rates remained relatively stable. Lost Time Injuries (LTIFR) increased marginally from 2.77 to 2.83 whilst Total Recordable Injuries (TRIFR) decreased from 7.76 to 6.23. During the year we successfully maintained our International Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (ISO 45001: 2018) and maintained accreditations to the Quality (AS/NZS: 9001), and Environment (ISO: 14001) Standards. We were also successfully reaccredited by the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner (OFSC). Our goal throughout FY2023 will be to improve our HSE Index score whilst continually developing our safety excellence. BSA has commenced the development of a tailored Safety Leadership Pathway program with competencies and skills required to drive a high performing culture and leadership team. 8 FINANCIAL UPDATE The Group remained resilient and delivered a modest year-on-year revenue growth with the current and comparative periods impacted by COVID-19, albeit in varying ways. The APS segment continued to secure annuity-style revenue streams. Reactive maintenance and minor works demand was lower and impacted by clients’ reduced discretionary spend. The CUI group was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. These restrictions primarily impacted platforms other than nbn which was classified as an essential service throughout FY2022. Nbn transitioned from OMMA to Unify, resulting in higher volume but lower margin assurance activity from a previously more prominent higher margin lower volume activation platform. CUI has also been diversifying its customer base through new clients (including Axicom, TPG/Vodafone, Go Evie, American Towers & Intellihub). Revenue levels compared to prior years grew 10.4% to $466.4m (FY2021: $422.5m) and driven by higher volumes in the CUI segment and new customers in the APS segment. However, lower margin mix work, the impact of COVID-19, inclement weather and the cost of new structures put in place for previously forecast growth resulted in EBITDA pre-significant items being materially lower than the prior year at $0.1m (2021: $20.1m). The Net Loss amounted to ($42.2m) (Net Profit FY2021: $0.0m) which includes the following significant items: • • • • • • Settlement amount relating to the Class Action and associated costs – $23.5m Impairment of goodwill – $11.2m; Provision against uncertain indirect tax position - $5.6m; Restructuring costs – $1.6m; Costs related to legacy legal matters - $0.8m; and Initial due diligence related costs – $0.4m. While these items exacerbate the net loss, it is important to note that the impairment of goodwill is a non-cash item, the Class Action settlement amount has a deferred payment profile and the restructuring costs incurred will yield future cost base benefit. Operating cash outflow before interest and tax was impacted by the first tranche payment of the class action settlement ($4.4m) and restructuring costs, resulting in a net operating outflow of $13.8m (FY2021: $7.6m) with Net Cash at year-end was $1.9m (FY2021 $12.8m). No dividends have been declared for the year and future dividends will be subject to restrictions imposed by the Class Action Settlement Deed with Shine Lawyers including the requirement that each year’s tranche is paid prior to the declaration of any dividends. MANAGEMENT TEAM As previously outlined, during the final quarter of FY2022 the Group made necessary structural changes which impacted the Executive Leadership Team. The leadership team was streamlined to myself as Interim CEO (in addition to CFO duties) and: • Divisional EGM’s Richard Bartley and Mark Dunn for both CUI and APS respectively. These divisions are now managing functional responsibilities across people, legal, safety and finance; and • General Counsel Ben Quirk. I would like to extend my thanks to Tim Harris, Joanna Hull, Rebecca Crompton and Tanya McCabe for their contributions to the business over the year. While the leadership team has lost a great talent, the streamlined leadership team is making great strides forward in setting the objectives for FY2023 and it is pleasing to see a great number of talented people step up and take leadership roles. BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 COMMUNITY SUPPORT BSA is committed to continual engagement with the communities in which we work, through local training and employment opportunities, and Indigenous and community support through sponsorships and charity fundraisers. The Group was actively involved with Ronald McDonald House Charities, R U Ok? Day, White Ribbon Australia, Children’s Cancer Institute, World Vision, The Children’s Hospital Gifts Donation, St John of God Hospital, Drew Brophy Healing Fund, Movember and the QLD & NSW Flood Relief Appeal participating in charitable initiatives throughout the year. Our team in NT are extremely active in the community, providing support to over 12 charities and community including Children’s Charity, Variety NT, Carols by Candle Light, NT, Variety Bash, Katherine Indigenous Soccer 7’s, Humpty Doo Child Care Centre, Darwin Speedway, Darwin Symphony Orchestra and the Humpty Doo Volunteer Fire Brigade. DIVERSITY Diversity & Inclusion (“D&I”) has remained a focus area for BSA in FY2022. Over the course of the year, BSA developed its Group-wide First Nations Engagement Plan. The Plan outlines our approach and targets for FY2023 with emphasis on establishing the foundations of our purpose, defining our vision for reconciliation, and setting achievable goals and deliverables. Our vision for our First Nations Engagement Plan is to: • • • Make a Difference – Be part of a meaningful movement that can make a real difference to our people and the surrounding communities; Create Value – Create value for our stakeholders, as our employees and our customers demand it. This is a cornerstone of our success; and Be a Responsible Corporate – Instill a culture of acting lawfully, ethically and responsibly in line with our obligations. Our commitment to D&I is reflected in our company Values, which are our guiding principles and essential to our success. We appreciate the value that diversity brings to our business and we acknowledge, honour and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culture, and history. In FY2022, we also continued our focus on gender diversity. The Group has sustained its female participation rates across senior leadership positions and across the Group. BSA continues to target improved female participation. This focus will continue more broadly across the business in FY2023. Our four key approaches to diversity remain unchanged and include: • • • • Creating a workplace culture that embraces and respects diversity and inclusion; Addressing gender diversity in all areas of the organization; Improving overall diversity in recruitment; and Committing to a series of transparent checks and balances. Every year, our team connects with thousands of customers across construction, business and residential sites Australia-wide to deliver our services. With a large technical workforce touching many communities within these areas, we acknowledge that BSA has a significant responsibility to contribute. Our Plan underpins our commitment to be genuine in our approach and not to focus exclusively on employment and procurement metrics. CEO’s REPORT BSA is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act and the most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in and published under that Act. Both are available to view on our website.

CUI full year revenue increased by $33m predominately due to higher nbn market share and demand compared to FY2021. This significant nbn revenue growth was offset by COVID-19 work restrictions on other customer platforms (including Vector, Foxtel and Telstra). As a result EBITDA return decreased by 53% and was further impacted by significant one-off mobilisation costs for the new/renewed contracts. COVID-19 work restrictions impacted the efficiencies on all customer platforms due to increased infection-control protocols. With contracts now fully mobilised throughout FY2022 and COVID-19 work restrictions eased, returns for CUI are expected to increase in FY2023. The division continued to diversify its fixed-line customer base by securing Axicom as a new key wireless strategic client. The governments continued investment into the nbn network will be a key target area for the division going forward whilst pursuing further diversification into the Wireless and Smart Metering growth markets. Telecommunications customer equipment installation and testing. 10 BSA | CUI $244.1 million Revenue FY2021 $211.1million $8.1 million EBITDA FY2021 $16.9million *pre-significant items KEY AREAS OF FOCUS FOR FY2023 INCLUDE: • Optimising and organically growing existing fixed line platinum customer base; • Expanding our Wireless customer base by capitalising on our SAED and Build capabilities; • Expanding our Smart Metering customer base; • Retaining our people to maintain our competitive advantage; • Continuing to lead the market with our Customer Experience Program; and • Implementing robust cost containment initiatives to mitigate cost pressures from global and local market forces. BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 NBN network activation and assurance services in Victoria and New South Wales. 11 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CEO’s REPORT Advanced Property Solutions (APS) In FY2022, BSA | Advanced Property Solutions (“APS”) consolidated on structural changes made in the prior year, and accelerated the focus on business development, improving our win rate by over 10 percentage points and developing our pipeline to contain over $700m in active opportunities. APS full year revenue increased by $10.9m despite the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our service business’ customers, especially in the tertiary education and retail sectors. Coupled with the increase in overhead structures implemented pre-COVID-19, these significantly affected profitability for the division, resulting in a $4.0m EBITDA loss for FY2022 (vs $9.4m EBITDA profit in FY2021 – FY21 includes Jobkeeper benefits). We continue to right-size the overhead structure to address operating performance. BSA | APS $222.3 million Revenue FY2021 $211.4million $(4.0) million EBITDA FY2021 $9.4million *pre-significant items Key new clients and projects for the year are outlined below. NEW SERVICE CONTRACTS • • • • NT Government – HVAC/Mechanical Services for Group 7 facilities (NT) VIC/NSW Corrections, Honeywell – Mechanical and Fire Service (VIC/NSW) I-MED Radiology Network – Mechanical Services (VIC, QLD, SA, TAS, NT and WA) Sydney Catholic Schools – Mechanical Services (NSW) These new service contracts help to cement APS’ credentials as a true multi-service provider nationally, being able to provide our customers with a one-stop shop for maintenance and optimisation of all their facility’s hard assets. Combined with this service capability and footprint, the following new projects wins and completed projects will further support building the installed base of service customers for APS. NEW CONSTRUCTIONS AND PROJECTS • • • • • • • • Perth Centre for National Resilience, Multiplex – Fire Detection/Suppression, HVAC/Mechanical, and Building Management Systems/BMS (WA) ALDI BMcS Project, Aldi – Building Management Control Systems across the Aldi portfolio of over 500 Australian stores (National) Southern Queensland Correctional Precinct Stage 2, John Holland Group - Fire Detection and Suppression (QLD) 101-121 Castlereagh St, Scentre Group – HVAC/Mechanical Upgrade (NSW) Bendigo Health, ADCO Construction – HVAC/Mechanical and Fire Detection (VIC) SYD066 Data Centre, Hutchinson Builders – Fire Detection and Suppression (NSW) NextDC M2 Stage 3 Data Centre, Kapitol Group – HVAC/Mechanical (VIC) RAAF Tindal, Barpa – HVAC/Mechanical, Fire Detection/Suppression, and BMS (NT) We have successfully completed various projects during the year, including: • • • • • 80 Anne Street, Mirvac – Fire Detection and Suppression (QLD) Grosvenor Place - Central Energy Plant Upgrade (NSW) HMAS Cerberus, BARPA - HVAC building refurbishment and upgrade (VIC) Sydney University Engineering Faculty, Laing O’Rourke – Fire Detection and Suppression (NSW) Paramatta Square, Built – Fire Detection and Suppression (NSW) Looking forward, FY2023 will see APS continue the focus on growth through projects, while further streamlining the service business, and leveraging our significant BMS/IoT capability. This will allow APS to provide services to our customers which reduce their overall costs, by optimizing equipment uptime and reducing reactive service requirements. 12 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Design and construction of fire suppression systems at the new Sydney Football Stadium for John Holland. CEO’s REPORT OUTLOOK AND GROWTH In April the Group removed its previous guidance of $750m revenue at minimum 5% EBITDA margin by FY2024. While we have stepped back from our outer market goal, this does not diminish the ambitions of the Group to improve financial performance. We have taken the necessary measures to reduce cost base to appropriately match forecasted revenue and focus on cash conversion initiatives to maximise free cash flow. This will provide BSA with the necessary platform to achieve future growth. The Group has implemented a three horizon view to its strategic journey, which has been embraced by all stakeholders: FOCUS • Key tender targets • Commercial improvement • Scalable systems TRANSFORM • Accelerated growth on our terms • Client Partnerships • Increased shareholder returns STABILISE • Structural optimization • Return to cash backed profits • Core system functionality • Exit low performing platforms, branches and projects CONCLUSION Despite the challenging year, there are signs that the Group is heading in a positive direction. The last quarter of FY2022 has shown a steady return to profitability and there is a high level of engagement across the business. Thank you to our supportive shareholders and we look forward to making further progress in FY2023.

OVERVIEW OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT The Directors present the Remuneration Report for the Company and its controlled entities (the ‘Group’ or ’BSA’) for the year ended 30 June 2022 (‘FY2022’). This report forms part of the Directors’ Report and has been audited in accordance with section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The report sets out the remuneration arrangements for the Group’s Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’), comprising its Non-executive Directors (‘NED’), Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’) and Chief Financial Officer (‘CFO’), who together have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. The KMP of BSA in FY2022 are listed below.

ADDRESSING THE FY2021 REMUNERATION REPORT STRIKE In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Group is required to gain at least 75.0% approval for the annual Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’). The FY2021 Remuneration Report was presented at the 16 November 2021 AGM and received a 40.6% approval vote. The KMP have held meetings with major shareholders since the AGM to address concerns raised, including the linkage between current financial year performance and KMP remuneration outcomes, the existing Class Action, restoration of profitability and capital management of the Group. To address this, in FY2022 the Group has focused on a number of strategic objectives including: • • • • • • a resolution to the Class Action provisionally settled in February 2022 which the Board believes was in the best commercial interests of the Group’s shareholders; a significant reduction to the current cost base of the business to better align against current revenue generation and delivery of margin; a $13.5m before costs, capital raise in April 2022 to provide necessary working capital for the Group and underpin its financial position; the rotation of the Board including Nicholas Yates being appointed as Interim Chair following Michael Givoni’s retirement as a Director, the appointment of a new Independent Non-Executive Director Michelle Cox and the appointment of Brendan York as a Naos Asset Management (the Group’s largest shareholder) nominee Non-Executive Director; the commencement of a search for a new CEO following the resignation of Tim Harris in April 2022; and retention of key revenue generating employees in both the CUI and APS divisions. The Board believes the above actions were all necessary steps to give management the best possible chance of future success for the Group and that this strongly aligns remuneration to shareholder returns. The Board is comfortable that the existing remuneration framework serves the right purpose of incentivising management to drive future growth. As noted in section 7 the FY2022 at-risk remuneration outcomes for KMP are nil and are reflective of the weaker financial performance of the Group in FY2022. 3. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE The remuneration of NED and KMP is ultimately approved by the Board. Recommendations for the remuneration of NED and KMP is provided by the Remuneration Committee. BOARD REMUNERATION COMMITTEE The Remuneration Committee is the key governing body with respect to remuneration matters within the Group. It oversees NED, KMP and Group-wide remuneration quantum and structure. The Corporate Governance Statement and the Remuneration Charter provides further information on the role of this committee. MANAGEMENT Makes recommendations and provides relevant information to the Remuneration Committee and undertakes work as directed by the Remuneration Committee, including the use of external advisers where appropriate. EXTERNAL ADVISERS The Remuneration Committee engages and considers advice from independent remuneration consultants where appropriate in relation to KMP remuneration matters and NED fees. During the year, no remuneration recommendations as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001 were provided. There were no remuneration consultants used during the year. 17 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT 4. REMUNERATION POLICY As outlined in section 3 the Remuneration Committee oversees the structure and quantum of NED and KMP remuneration. Key principles involved in the determination of structure and quantum of the NED and KMP framework are outlined below. Non-executive Directors Principle Application Competitiveness and reasonableness Shareholder alignment Performance linkage of compensation Transparency NED remuneration reflects the demands that are made of the Directors and their responsibilities. The Chair’s fees are determined independently to the fees of other NEDs. All fees are based on the Director’s experience and comparative roles in the external market. The Chair is not present at any discussions relating to determination of their remuneration. NED fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $750,000 per annum and was last approved by shareholders at the AGM on 16 November 2021. NED remuneration is not linked to the Group’s financial performance as variable remuneration is not consistent with the principles of remuneration for those acting in a role of oversight and governance. NEDs receive fixed remuneration which includes fees and statutory superannuation and are not eligible for any other retirement schemes or benefits. The NEDs are entitled to participate in the Non-executive Director Fee Sacrifice Equity Plan (‘NED Plan’) as outlined in section 5. The current base remuneration for NED was last reviewed and determined on 26 June 2012. NED fees include the requirement to sit on at least one Board committee for the duration of their tenure. No additional fees are payable in relation to Chairing of the Audit & Risk Committee or the Remuneration Committee. A Director’s expected time commitment is a minimum ten hours per month. Non-executive Director Role Chair Other Non-executive Directors Key Management Personnel Fees $ 155,299 83,236 Superannuation $ Total $ 15,530 8,324 170,829 91,560 The KMP, along with NEDs have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. The Group’s remuneration framework for KMP reflects the following key principles: Princple Application Competitiveness and reasonableness Remuneration structures and quantum are designed to address the following key drivers of competitiveness and reasonableness: • Rewards capability and experience: remuneration quantum and mix is reviewed from time to time for market competitiveness given the nature of the roles and experience of the KMP’s undertaking those roles. • Reflects competitive reward for contribution to financial performance: primary driver of target variable at-risk remuneration is Group financial performance. • Provides a clear structure for earning rewards: Key Performance Indicators (‘KPIs’) are clearly defined and approved by the Remuneration Committee, with any variable at-risk reward paid (including any discretionary award) approved by the Remuneration Committee. • Provides recognition for contribution: Fixed Remuneration comprises 84% of KMP remuneration to reflect baseline expectations of the role with target variable at-risk remuneration of 16% in recognition of expectations of strong performance against KPIs. Remuneration structures and quantum are designed to address the following key drivers of shareholder alignment: • Achievement of target financial profit as a core component of performance reward: payment of any variable at- risk remuneration is based on a Group financial performance gateway. Shareholder alignment • Focusing each executive on key performance metrics relevant to the role: KPIs are clearly defined and approved by the Remuneration Committee, with any variable at-risk reward paid (including any discretionary award) approved by the Remuneration Committee. • Attracts and retains high calibre executives: remuneration quantum and mix is reviewed from time to time for market competitiveness given the nature of the roles and experience of the KMP’s undertaking those roles. In addition, Deferred Incentives include retention requirements for up to three years from the commencement of the financial year on which the at-risk variable reward is determined. 18 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT Performance linkage of compensation Remuneration structures and quantum are designed to address the following key drivers of performance linkage of compensation: • Achievement of target financial profit as a core component of performance reward: payment of any target variable at-risk remuneration is based on a Group financial performance gateway. • Focusing each executive on key performance metrics relevant to the role: KPIs are clearly defined and approved by the Remuneration Committee, with any variable at-risk reward paid (including any discretionary award) approved by the Remuneration Committee. • Provides recognition for contribution: Fixed Remuneration comprises 84% of KMP remuneration to reflect baseline expectations of the role with target variable at-risk remuneration of 16% in recognition of expectations of strong performance against KPIs. As a result of the above principles and framework the continuing KMP target remuneration is as follows: KMP Target Remuneration Interim CEO 84% 8% 8% - 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 600,000 700,000 Fixed STI Deferred Incentive The components of KMP target remuneration are outlined below. Component Description Fixed STI Deferred Incentive Fixed remuneration is structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash, post-employment benefits (superannuation), and prescribed non-financial benefits at the KMP discretion. KMP are offered a base pay that is reviewed annually to ensure it is competitive with the market and reflects the responsibilities of the position. There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in the KMP terms of employment. All KMP receive statutory superannuation benefits which are included in their fixed remuneration. KMP remuneration includes participation in the BSA Performance Reward Plan (‘PRP’), an incentive based on achievement of KPIs across safety, financial, people and customer metrics for the Group. An Earnings Before Interest and Tax (‘EBIT’) Gateway must be achieved to trigger payments under the plan to ensure variable at-risk reward is only available when value has been created for shareholders. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for assessing whether the targets are met. Targets are set at the beginning of each financial year and are set for the year. Incentive payments are adjusted in line with actual performance versus target performance levels. The PRP incentive is comprised of two components: • Short Term Incentive (‘STI’) which is paid to the KMP in cash after the final audited results on which the EBIT is calculated have been released in the Annual Report, and • Deferred Incentive, which is outlined below. Actual outcomes of the PRP incentive plan operations are outlined in section 6. To the extent an incentive is awarded to the KMP under the PRP outlined above, 50% of the incentive is paid in cash and the remainder is awarded via a Deferred Incentive. This Deferred Incentive is subject to a service condition of 24 months (two financial years after the end of the year in respect of which the award is calculated), i.e. for those incentives based on FY2022 performance, the KMP must remain employed by the Group until at least the end of FY2024 to receive the full award. The Deferred Incentive is primarily via an issue of Service Rights which convert to shares once the KMP has met the service vesting conditions. These Service Rights are governed by the BSA Limited Rights Plan Rules. Under the Plan rules the Remuneration Committee retains discretion to award the Deferred Incentive as either cash or as Service Rights. Actual outcomes of the PRP incentive plan operations are outlined in section 6. The Remuneration Committee retains the ability to pay a discretionary award with any award made under discretionary considerations outlined in section 5. 19 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT 5. INCENTIVE PLAN OPERATION Employee Performance Rights Plan The BSA Performance Reward Plan (‘PRP’) provides KMP the opportunity to earn an incentive that is contingent upon performance against a combination of agreed financial and non-financial performance targets, which are set by the Board in consultation with the CEO at the start of each financial year. Feature Delivery Description Delivered as a combination of cash (50%) and deferred equity (50%). Performance period Annual financial year, 1 July to 30 June the following year. Eligibility The KMP participate in the PRP. Various other senior management within the Group are also eligible for the PRP. The PRP opportunities for the Interim CEO are outlined below: Reward opportunities Performance level Below threshold Threshold Target Maximum % Fixed Remuneration nil% 16% 20% 24% The above reward opportunity is split 50% cash paid within 4 months of the end of the financial year and 50% issued as deferred Service Rights which vest into shares two financial years after the end of the year in respect of which the award is calculated, subject to the KMP meeting the service vesting conditions. A Board approved Earnings Before Interest and Tax (‘EBIT’) Gateway (‘Group Budget’) must be achieved to trigger any payments under the PRP. These metrics are as follows: Threshold Below 90% Group budgeted EBIT 90% Group budgeted EBIT 100% Group budgeted EBIT 120% Group budgeted EBIT PRP bonus available (% of target available for assessment against KMP KPIs) nil% 80% 100% 120% Performance measures Once the EBIT gateway is met and scaled as noted above, a participant’s individual PRP award is determined based on individual KPIs. For the KMP these KPIs are as follows: KPI Interim CEO / CFO Weighting (%) Safety: site visits and inspections and incident deep dives Financial: Group EBIT Financial: Cash Conversion People: Retention and engagement Other project specific individual KPIs 10% 35% 15% 10% 30% Deferred Incentive vesting criteria The deferred Service Rights are conditional and only vest if the KMP remains employed by the Group up to and including two financial years after the end of the year in respect of which the award is calculated (i.e. for FY2022 deferred service rights the KMP is required to be employed up to and including 30 June 2024). Valuing deferred awards The number of Service Rights issued to participants is calculated by dividing 50% of the PRP award dollar value by the volume weighted average price (‘VWAP’) of the Group’s ordinary shares over the 10 trading days subsequent to the release of the Annual Report for the relevant financial year on which the PRP outcomes was determined. Board discretion The Board may exercise discretion to adjust the PRP outcomes to more appropriately reflect the performance of the Group. The Board also retains discretion to adjust vesting outcomes in any circumstances to ensure they are appropriate. 20 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT Non-executive Director Fee Sacrifice Equity Plan The Non-executive Director Fee Sacrifice Equity Plan (‘NED Plan’) purpose is to: • • • facilitate the acquisition of equity in the Group by NEDs serving on the board because it aligns their interests with shareholders, preserve the independence of NEDs by ensuring that NEDs participate in a separate equity plan from the employee BSA Limited Rights Plan for which the NEDs set vesting conditions, and overcome the challenges faced by NEDs in acquiring equity on-market due to governance and regulatory issues in a manner that is intended to demonstrate good governance. The NED Plan allows for eligible NEDs, subsequent to AGM approval, to sacrifice a portion of their NED fees for an equivalent number of deferred Rights which covert into shares of the Group. The deferred Rights are issued within 30 days of the NED application and convert to shares 90 days after the issue of the deferred Rights. The shares are held in the NEDs name and are restricted from trading until the earlier of 15 years from grant date or the date the NED no longer serves on the Board of the Group. As the NED Plan allows for the sacrifice of NED fixed remuneration for a fixed value of shares this plan is considered a type of fixed remuneration share- based payment. 6. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND AT-RISK REMUNERATION OUTCOMES The charts below show the Group’s performance and percentage of Remuneration which was performance related in the five-year period ended 30 June 2022.

FY2018 to FY2021 EPS amounts have been restated to reflect the bonus issue impact of the Accelerated Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer (‘ANREO’). Performance related bonuses are calculated as: performance related cash and share-based payments as a percentage of total KMP remuneration as disclosed in the Remuneration Report.

The consequences of this have impacted the Group materially such that EPS pre significant items has declined to (1.07)cps. Despite this, the Board believes that historical business performance and in particular FY2022 is not reflective of the number of strategic objectives achieved during FY2022 which set up the Group for improved financial metrics in FY2023, a more resilient balance sheet and opportunities for growth. 7. FY2022 AT-RISK REMUNERATION OUTCOMES FY2022 PRP outcomes As noted in Section 5 the PRP plan includes a Group EBIT Gateway whereby at least 90% of Budgeted FY2022 EBIT must be achieved prior to the KMP’s performance against their Board approved KPIs being assessed. In FY2022 the Group EBIT significant items of ($7,392) thousand was below the 90% threshold and as such $nil was payable with all the PRP incentive forfeited. FY2022 Other KMP incentive outcomes KMP other incentive outcomes below are based on current estimates, with final remuneration decisions to be made in September 2022 in accordance with the Group’s standard performance remuneration reward cycles. The FY2021 Remuneration Report reflected expected remuneration outcomes related to FY2021, with the KMP estimated to receive a discretionary incentive of 25% of their target PRP outcomes. The adjustment for actual payment related to the FY2021 period as well as the impacts of share- based payments issued in prior periods is recognised in the FY2022 Remuneration Report. These amounts are reflected in the key remuneration tables as follows: Name FY2022 Cash Bonus Prior periods Cash Bonus (1) FY2022 Share-based payments (2) Prior periods Share-based payments (2) Arno Becker Timothy Harris - - 5,011 4,773 - - 1,167 (1,262) (1) This is the difference between the estimated FY2021 bonus payable as disclosed in the FY2021 Remuneration Report and the actual payment made in October 2021. (2) This is the portion of the share-based payment for which the three-year service condition has been met in FY2022. FY2022 NED Plan outcomes No transactions occurred in the NED Plan in FY2022. 8. KMP SERVICE AGREEMENTS Name Fixed Remuneration Agreement term KMP initiated notice Group initiated notice Redundancy Arno Becker (1) $355,250 Rolling contract 3 months 3 months Amounts required under applicable law (1) The above fixed remuneration reflects Mr Becker’s permanent role as CFO and does not include the additional $175,000 per annum allowance related to his role as Interim CEO. In the event of cessation of employment, a KMP’s unvested PRP Deferred Incentive will ordinarily lapse if within the first twelve months of service post issue of the Incentive, will vest in a pro-rata basis for the subsequent twelve-month period and will not be forfeited if the KMP is made redundant. The intended vesting outlined above is subject to Board discretion which may be exercised in circumstances such as death, disability, retirement, redundancy or special circumstances. 22 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 REMUNERATION REPORT 9.

COMPANY INFORMATION BSA Limited (‘the Company’) and its controlled entities (‘BSA’ or ‘the Group’) is an Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed Company whose principal activities are focused on providing services across communications and utilities infrastructure and property solutions. BSA Limited is the ultimate parent company of the Group and is a for-profit listed company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company’s principal place of business and registered office is Unit C4, Building C, Lidcombe Business Park 3-29 Birnie Avenue, Lidcombe NSW 2141 Financial statement characteristics The financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the directors on 23 August 2022. The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that: • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), • include the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 2022 and the results of the subsidiaries for the year then ended.

Subsequent events The Directors are not aware of any significant events since the end of the reporting period. A2. KEY CONSIDERATIONS In preparing the financial report certain judgements and estimates have been made by the Group. The material estimates and judgements applied in preparing the financial report are outlined in detail in the following notes: Note A3 Going Concern B2 Revenue Key judgement or estimate Going concern basis Estimates of the costs to complete construction contracts B3 Other Operating Costs Settlement of Class Action and Consequential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic B4 Income Tax C4 Intangible Assets F2 SaaS Restatement Recoverability of deferred tax balances Recognition of Software-as-a-Service Intangible Assets and Impairment of Goodwill Restatement of capitalised intangibles on the adoption and implementation of SaaS IFRIC 33 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 A ABOUT THIS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 A3. GOING CONCERN The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The review of operations reflects that the Group’s current period performance has been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and settlement of the Class Action. This has resulted in the following for the year ended 30 June 2022: • Current period net loss after tax of $42,242 thousand (2021: $9 thousand profit), • Current period net operating cash outflow of $13,774 thousand (2021: $7,575 thousand operating cash outflow), • Net deficiency of current assets of $12,870 thousand (2021: $417 thousand net current assets), • Net asset deficiency of $7,092 thousand (2021: $24,110 thousand net assets), • Cash and cash equivalents of $13,441 thousand (2021: $12,821 thousand), and • Net cash of $1,941 thousand (2021: $12,821 thousand). In considering the current period financial performance, financial position and liquidity, the following items have been reflected upon: • $23,474 thousand of the current period loss relates to settlement and legal costs associated with the defence and subsequent provisional settlement of the Class Action with settlement amounts paid and payable in three instalments in June 2022, June 2023 and June 2024 (refer to note B3 for further details), • $11,185 thousand of the current period loss relates to the non-cash impairment of goodwill related to the Fire Build CGU, which does not impact the Group's cashflow or going concern assessment. The reduction of EBITDA multiples for sales of similar businesses between the prior and current years’ being a key driver of this impairment (refer to note C4 for further details), • The Group recorded an EBITDA pre-significant items of $2,137 thousand in the second half of FY2022, a $4,163 thousand EBITDA improvement on the preceding half-year as economic factors progressively improve as a consequence of the impact of the COVID-19 starting to normalise. In the event that the extent and duration of restrictions and economic impacts of COVID-19 are greater than anticipated, the Group will be adversely impacted, and • The Group has available, an undrawn short-term funding facility of $32,000 thousand (as outlined in note D4) to draw as required for working capital purposes which has no financial covenants, but is subject to Review Events (driven by current period financial performance based on a pre-defined EBITDA measure). The Group has obtained conditional waivers with respect to Review Events embodied in actual and forecast financial position and performance by adjusting predefined EBITDA measures and other conditions attached to the waivers. The Review Event requirements have been modified for each of the quarters ending to 30 June 2023 with the forecast profitability in the model outlined below demonstrating that the Group will operate within the modified Review Event requirements over this period. The Review Event requirements will revert back to the original conditions for the quarter ending 30 September 2023 on a rolling 12 month EBITDA measure. As a consequence of the above considerations, a cash flow, profitability and liquidity forecast (“forecast”) has been prepared up to the date of the final Class Action payment (30 June 2024). The key considerations included in this forecast are as follows: • An increase in revenue with the lifting of COVID-19 related restrictions with higher margin complimentary revenue (reactive work). Demand has been subdued over the past 24 months in most maintenance sectors with a significant backlog of delayed recurring service work, • Increased gross margins as a result of product mix with the backlog of higher margin work, forecast margins are broadly in line with April to June 2022 actual gross margins, • No further Class Action expenditure, with suitable provisions for the final settlement and related legal fees being made in the current period, • Consistent working capital management and sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as and when they come due, • No expected payment of dividends until the Class Action settlement payments are completed in June 2024, • Based upon the cash flow projections, the Group will operate within the short-term funding facility limit outlined in note D4, • The forecast has been tested for sensitivity to reasonably possible outcomes over the forecast period and for the financial performance and position between 30 June 2022 and the date of signing of this report, with no issues noted. Based on the forecast, the Group will have sufficient financial performance, cash flows and liquidity for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial report. Accordingly, the Directors have determined it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing this financial report. 34 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 ABOUT THIS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 A However, if the Group is unable to achieve its cash flow forecast and is unable to obtain the continuing financial support of the lenders and shareholders, material uncertainty would exist that may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. No adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern. 35 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 B NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BUSINESS PERFORMANCE B1.

REVENUE Key Estimates and Judgements: Revenue Recognition Recognition of construction contract revenue and contract assets and liabilities involve the following key judgements and estimates: • management estimates of the costs incurred to date as a percentage of the total costs required to complete the prescribed construction contract, this is used to determine the stage of completion and accordingly recognise revenue on that basis, • modifications to the scope of the construction contract are recognised when the Group has an enforceable right to payment, revenue in relation to claims and variations is only included in the total contract value when the amount claimable becomes highly probable. Management uses judgement in determining whether an approved enforceable right exists, and • Determining the amount of variable consideration requires an estimate based on either the “expected value” or the “most likely amount”. The estimate of variable consideration can only be recognised to the extent it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future. Significant changes in the above estimates and judgements could have a material impact on the financial performance and position of the Group.

Assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers The Group has recognised the following assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers: Current contract assets Current contract liabilities Net contract assets/(liabilities) Revenue recognised in relation to contract liabilities 2022 $'000 17,936 (7,185) 10,751 2021 $'000 8,010 (9,628) (1,618) Revenue recognised in the reporting period that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period was $9,628 thousand (2021: $1,654 thousand). There was no revenue recognised in the current reporting period that related to performance obligations that were satisfied in a prior year. Accounting Policy Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control and the fair value of consideration receivable requires judgement. Classification and recognition Maintenance revenue The Group performs maintenance services for a variety of different industries. This revenue stream is recognised on a basis consistent with when the related services are provided to the customer. Customers are in general invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is calculated on either a schedule of rates or a cost plus basis that are aligned with the stand alone selling prices for each performance obligation. Payment is received following invoice on normal commercial terms. 37 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 B BUSINESS PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 Installation revenue The benefits from this category of work type do not transfer to the customer until the completion of the installation and as such revenue is recognised upon completion. Customers are in general invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is calculated on either a schedule of rates or a cost plus basis that are aligned with the stand alone selling prices for each performance obligation. Payment is received following invoice on normal commercial terms. Construction revenue The Group provides the design and installation of building services for commercial and industrial buildings including mechanical services, air conditioning, heating and ventilation, refrigeration and fire services. Contracts entered into may be for the construction of one or several separate inter-linked pieces of large infrastructure. The construction of each individual piece of infrastructure is generally taken to be one performance obligation. Where contracts are entered for the building of several projects the total transaction price is allocated across each project based on relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price is normally fixed at the start of the project. It is normal practice for contracts to include bonus and penalty elements based on timely construction or other performance criteria (variable consideration). The performance obligation is fulfilled over time and as such revenue is recognised over time. As work is performed on the assets being constructed, they are controlled by the customer and have no alternative use to the Group, with the Group having a right to payment for performance to date. Generally, contracts identify various inter-linked activities required in the construction process. Revenue is recognised on an input basis. Revenue earned is typically invoiced monthly or in some cases on achievement of milestones or to match major capital outlay. Invoices are paid on normal commercial terms, which may include the customer withholding a retention amount until finalisation of the construction. Certain construction projects entered into receive payment prior to work being performed in which case revenue is deferred and recognised as a contract liability on the statement of financial position. Other income Primarily relates to gains on sales of property, plant and equipment or right of use assets. These gains are recognised as income when control of the underlying asset is transferred to the counterparty. Measurement Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the relevant contract with the customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price, which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money (excluding credit risk); allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. Variable consideration It is common for contracts to include performance bonuses or penalties assessed against the timeliness or cost effectiveness of work completed or other performance related KPIs. Where consideration in respect of a contract is variable, the expected value of revenue is recognised when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is highly probable of being resolved. The Group assesses the constraint requirements on a periodic basis when estimating the variable consideration to be included in the transaction price. The estimate is based on all available information including historic performance. Where modifications in design or contract requirements are entered into, the transaction price is updated to reflect these. Where the price of the modification has not been confirmed, an estimate is made of the amount of revenue to recognise whilst also considering the constraint requirement. Contract Assets and Liabilities When the contract value recognised to date (revenue less costs incurred) is greater than progress billings to the customer, the surplus is shown as Contract assets on the statement of financial position. For contracts where progress billings exceed the contract value recognised to date, the surplus is shown as Contract liabilities on the statement of financial position. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the statement of financial position as trade receivables. Contract fulfilment costs Costs incurred prior to the commencement of a contract may arise due to mobilisation/site setup costs, feasibility studies, environmental impact studies and preliminary design activities as these are costs incurred to fulfil a contract. Where these costs are expected to be recovered, they are capitalised and amortised over the course of the contract consistent with the transfer of service to the customer. Where the costs, or a portion of these costs, are reimbursed by the customer, the amount received is recognised as deferred revenue and allocated to the performance obligations within the contract and recognised as revenue over the course of the contract. Loss making contracts A provision is made for the difference between the expected cost of fulfilling a contract and the expected unearned portion of the transaction price where the forecast costs are greater than the forecast revenue. 38 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 BUSINESS PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 B B3. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES Key Estimates and Judgements: Settlement of Class Action On 9 February 2022, the Group advised that it had provisionally settled the class action proceedings filed on 24 July 2020 in relation to its contracting arrangements (specifically to its independent contractors and whether they are properly characterised as such). Subsequent to the reporting date, on 28 July 2022, the Federal Court has now approved the agreed terms of settlement. The settlement of the proceedings is without admission of liability. The total costs incurred in relation to the Class Action settlement in 2022 are $23,474 thousand and are comprised of the present value of the settlement amount of $20,000 thousand and legal and professional fees incurred in relation to the defence and subsequent settlement of the matter. The Class Action settlement sum of $20,000 thousand is payable as following: • $4,400 thousand was paid by 30 June 2022, • $6,600 thousand is payable by 30 June 2023, and • $9,000 thousand is payable by 30 June 2024. Settlement payments will be funded by current and future operating cash flows. The Group is restricted from paying dividends to the extent that any settlement amount is outstanding on the due dates noted above. Should the payments be made in accordance with the above, there is no restriction on the declaration or payment of dividends imposed by this settlement agreement. Consequential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic As noted in in the Chairman’s Letter it was challenging to navigate the protocols and government restrictions particularly in the first half of 2022 which significantly affected both the CUI and APS businesses. Indirect impacts included project award delays, mobilization challenges and having to navigate control measures put in place to keep our employees, contractors and customers safe. As a consequence, the expected profitability of the APS | Fire Build business for the 2023 period has been impacted by delays in awards of new contracts and by market instability impacting the EBITDA multiples at which comparable businesses have been sold for in the most recent financial year. The combination of these factors has resulted in the impairment of $11,185 thousand of goodwill associated with the Fire Build CGU in the current financial year. Further details of this impairment, which has been recorded as a significant item are outlined in note C4. In the current financial year the Group did not receive any significant government assistance to help navigate the additional costs of operations associated with the pandemic; whereas in the 2021 financial year it received the following relief: • Government grants, in the form of JobKeeper wage subsidies of $nil in 2022 (2021: $11,261 thousand), and • the Group repaid previously deferred indirect tax payments totalling $600 thousand in 2022 (2021: $13,740 thousand). Significant Items (Loss)/Profit for the period includes the following items: Business reorganisation and restructure costs Acquisition related costs Class Action settlement and associated legal defence costs Goodwill Impairment Provision for an uncertain indirect tax position Legal and professional fees relating to legacy issues Total significant items 2022 $’000 1,629 380 23,474 11,185 5,649 772 43,089 2021 $’000 4,244 362 771 - - 2,004 7,381 39 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 B BUSINESS PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 COVID-19 impact Employee benefits expense has been reduced by $11,261 thousand in FY2021 to reflect government assistance received (JobKeeper wage subsidy) in accordance with government guidelines to maintain BSA's workforce. Commonwealth and State government initiatives aimed at alleviating cash flow pressures, including the deferment of indirect tax payments, have applied to BSA during FY2021. Government assistance received is primary comprised of the JobKeeper wage subsidy and has been utilised to ensure employees can be retained during uncertain operational conditions. The Group has continued to ensure suitable health and safety protocols are in place with suitable working condition amendments made for all employees. In March 2020 to June 2020, the group utilised COVID-19 payment deferral measures made available by government agencies to navigate near-term uncertainties. These are being progressively repaid with $13,740 thousand of deferred payments paid to tax authorities in FY2021 and $600 thousand repaid early in the 2022 financial year. While there has been a number of delays and restricted capacity considerations in the construction sector, the Group considers that our products and services are likely to be in high demand once certainty returns and client spend patterns return to normal levels and as a consequence of infrastructure spending announced by federal and state governments. Remuneration of auditors During the year the following fees were paid or payable for services provided by the auditor of the parent entity, BSA Limited, its related practices and non- related audit firms: 2022 $ 2021 $ Audit and review of financial reports 482,635 383,000 Other services Tax services Other Total services provided The auditor of the Group is Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. Accounting Policy Government grants 115,000 17,000 614,635 129,335 15,000 527,335 JobKeeper government grants are recognised as a reduction in the employee expenses for which the grants are intended to compensate. Grant amounts are recognised in profit or loss when the grant amount is known and the Group has confirmed it has complied with the conditions attached to the grant. Significant items Significant items are amounts incurred in the financial period which are significant in size and nature and relate to factors that are either not expected to be incurred in future periods or are not related to core on-going operational activities of the Group. 40 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 BUSINESS PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 B B4. INCOME TAX Key Estimates and Judgements: Recoverability of deferred tax balances The 30 June 2022 Deferred tax balance totals $17,174 thousand (2021: $7,963 thousand). Deferred tax assets are recognised up to the value that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits in future years to offset the asset reversals. As outlined in note A3, the Group has prepared a cash flow, profitability and liquidity forecast (“forecast”). This forecast includes consideration of the utilisation of deferred tax assets, which are forecast to be utilised within three years of the current date. As a consequence, $17,174 thousand of deferred tax assets have been recognised at 30 June 2022 as it is probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. In addition, the Group has $10,336 thousand (2021: $nil) of tax losses for which a deferred tax asset of $3,101 thousand has not been recognised at 30 June 2022. The forecast, its inputs and the timing of generation of taxable profits involves significant judgements and estimates.

Refer to note F2. (2) As at 30 June 2022 the Group has $10,336 thousand of tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised (2021: $nil). These amounts do not have an expiry date. 41 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 B BUSINESS PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 Accounting Policy Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items that are recognised directly in equity. Calculation of tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that are in place at the reporting date. Tax consolidated group The Company and all of its subsidiaries as outlined in note E1 have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity within that tax consolidated group is the Company. Consequently, the Group is taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are offset in the consolidated financial statements. Current tax Current tax liabilities are taxation obligations to the Australian Taxation Office that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements (accounting profit). Deferred tax Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where there is a difference in timing between the accounting recognition of the asset or liability and the tax timing of the same asset or liability. This method is used for all differences between tax and accounting basis except for: • initial recognition of goodwill, or • if the transaction has no impact on accounting or taxable profit. In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognised if the reversal of the difference is under the control of the Group, it relates to investments in subsidiaries or associates and the Group does not intend to take any action to trigger a change in ownership of the subsidiary or associate in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised up to the value that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits in future years to offset the asset reversals; this is based on forecasts the Group’s future taxable profits and the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised, such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has the legal ability and intent to settle these amounts on a net basis with the same taxation authority. B5.

Right-of-use Assets Right-of-use assets are initially measured with reference to the value determined for the associated right-of-use liability (refer note D1), less direct costs and any lease incentives. Expected end of lease costs such as make good are included in the right-of-use asset value determined at lease inception. Throughout the lease term (including extended terms where judged appropriate), right-of-use assets are depreciated and periodically assessed for impairment. Depreciation begins when control of the leased asset by the Group occurs up until the date when control ends. In the event of changes to the lease, the right of-use asset is remeasured with reference to the remeasurement of the right-of-use liability. Expected useful lives The expected useful life and depreciation methods used are listed below. Asset Land Buildings Leaseholds Improvements Plant & Equipment Right-of-use vehicles Right-of-use property Assets Under Construction Useful life n/a 25 years 4 to 5 years 3 to 10 years 3 to 5 years 1 to 5 years Depreciation method n/a Straight-line Straight-line Straight-line Straight-line Straight-line To be determined To be determined Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost (other than freehold land) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment Property, Plant and Equipment is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use within its cash generating unit. Property, Plant and Equipment is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use within its cash generating unit. 47 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 C OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 C4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Key Estimates and Judgements: Recognition of Software-as-a-Service Intangible Assets In April 2021 the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued an agenda decision related to accounting for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements. The IFRIC concluded configuration and customisation costs incurred in implementing SaaS arrangements should be expensed unless the criteria for recognising a separate asset are met. The impact of the retrospective application of the SaaS IFRIC are outlined in note F2 of the financial report. Subsequent to the implementation of the SaaS IFRIC, the Group retains a number of software assets which operate in various states including on in-house servers, on designated third party servers and in cloud computing environments. The costs associated with bringing these to a state where they can be used in the Group’s operations have been suitably bifurcated between costs meeting the capitalisation requirements under the SaaS IFRIC and other relevant accounting standards and those which were expensed as incurred. This bifurcation involves judgement as to the application of accounting standard criteria, with $1,374 thousand of expenditure capitalised in the current financial year (2021: $2,107 thousand). Impairment of Goodwill As outlined note B3, it was challenging to navigate the protocols and government restrictions particularly in the first half of 2022 which significantly affected both the CUI and APS businesses. Indirect impacts included project award delays, mobilization challenges and having to navigate control measures put in place to keep our employees, contractors and customers safe. As a consequence, the following key inputs to the recoverable value of Fire Build Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU’) have been impacted: • the expected revenue and profitability of the APS | Fire Build business for the 2023 financial year has been impacted by delays in awards of new contracts, and • broader market instability has impacted the EBITDA multiples at which comparable businesses have been sold for in the most recent financial year. The combination of these factors has resulted in the impairment of $11,185 thousand of goodwill associated with the Fire Build CGU in the current financial year (2021: $nil). The calculation of the recoverable value of a CGUs asset involves significant estimates and assumptions which include: • forecast revenue and EBITDA, • selection of appropriate EBITDA multiples for sales of similar size and nature businesses, and • future economic and market conditions both specific to the CGU and its operations and to the broader economic environment.

To determine the recoverable amount, the group uses the Fair Value Less Costs to Sell (FVLCTS) to determine the amount for which the business could be sold (less sale related expenses). The resulting FVLCTS models are consistent with level 3 instruments in the fair value hierarchy. The assessment of impairment of goodwill FVLCTS models include the following considerations: • EBITDA forecast and expected EBITDA multiples which incorporate the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic into the assumptions, • EBITDA for the CGUs are broadly consistent with the 30 June 2023 financial year board approved budgeted EBITDA, and • EBITDA multiples for arm’s length transactions of businesses similar in size and nature to the CGUs within recent financial periods. Due to COVID-19, the expected profitability of the APS - Fire Build business for the 2023 period has been impacted by delays in awards of new contracts and by market instability impacting the EBITDA multiples at which comparable businesses have been sold for in the most recent financial year. The recoverable amount of Fire Build CGU based on FVLCTS results in full impairment of $11,185 thousand Goodwill at the midpoint EBITDA multiple of 4.2x based on publicly available data for arm’s length transactions of businesses similar in size and nature to the CGUs within recent financial periods. Below are the key assumption of the FVLCTS model: Financial Year EBITDA Multiple EBITDA($m) FY 2022 FY 2021 4.2x 8.0x FY2023 Board approved Fire Build CGU budgeted EBITDA FY2022 Board approved Fire Build CGU budgeted EBITDA The Group further determined the recoverable amount of the APS - Fire Build business utilising the Value-in-Use (“VIU”) methodology based on the below key assumptions: • estimated cash flows for five years based on Board approved budget for 30 June 2023 financial year with extrapolation for the remaining period, • terminal value arrived by extrapolating last forecast year cash flows to perpetuity using long-term growth rates. These long-term growth rates take into consideration external macro-economic sources of data. Such long-term growth rate considered does not exceed that of the relevant business and industry sector, and • the discount rates used are based on weighted average cost of capital of a comparable market participant, which are adjusted for specific industry risks. 49 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 C OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 The key assumptions used in performing the impairment test for APS - Fire Build CGU were as follows: Financial Year FY 2022 Discount rate 12.67% Growth Rate 3% Perpetual Growth Rate 2.5% The VIU, consistent with the FVLCTS, resulted in full impairment charge of $11,185 thousand for goodwill related to the APS - Fire Build business CGU. This impairment charge of $11,185 thousand was recorded in significant items (note B3). Accounting Policy Goodwill Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries has an infinite useful life and is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. On disposal of a business unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets, including software and customer lists and contracts are acquired or developed by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment Goodwill and other indefinite useful life intangible assets A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than it’s carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Impairment losses for goodwill are recognised as an expense when incurred and are not reversed in subsequent periods. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s Fair Value Less Costs to Sell (FVLCTS) and Value in use (VIU). Other intangible assets Other intangible assets including software and customer lists and contracts are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Expected useful lives The expected useful life and amortisation methods used are listed below. Asset Goodwill Software Customer lists and contracts Software assets under construction Amortisation methods and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. C5.

Onerous leases Contract provisions Uncertain indirect tax position The remaining contractual costs over the lease term for under utilised leased premises space with the sale of the HVAC Build business in 2019. The expected cost of obligations under various construction contracts recognised at the Directors' best estimate of the expenditure to settle the Group's obligation. A provision has been raised for specific uncertain indirect taxation positions which are in the process of being disputed with relevant taxation authorities. Restructuring provision The expected costs associated with organisational change restructures. These amounts primarily relate to headcount Accounting Policy Employee benefit liabilities Employee benefits are included in current provisions at their face value if the Group expects to settle it within the next twelve months. Employee benefits payable later than one year are included in non-current provisions and have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. The present value is determined using market yields on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of employee benefit cash flows. Other provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. 51 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 D NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITAL AND FINANCING STRUCTURE D1.

Interest rates for lease liabilities outstanding during the year ranged between 4.47% and 5.97%. 52 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CAPITAL AND FINANCING STRUCTURE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 D Accounting Policy Borrowings See accounting policy in note D4. Lease liabilities Initial recognition Initially lease liabilities are measured as the present value of future lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that is not known then rate at which the Group could borrow similar cashflows over a similar term. Determination of future lease payments includes consideration of the impact of lease incentives (such as rent free periods), incremental increases during the lease term (such as CPI or fixed lease rate increases), lease extension options (where reasonably certain that will occur) and residual value guarantees expected to be paid. Certain leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group up to one year before the end of the non-cancellable contract period. Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options (by the Group not the lessor) in new leases to provide operational flexibility. The Group has assessed at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options, and where it is reasonably certain, the extension period has been included in the lease liability. Subsequent measurement Over the lease term, payments made by the Group to the lessor reduce the liability balance while applicable interest is recognised as interest expense and increases the liability balance. Lease liabilities are re-assessed and remeasured in line with the initial recognition criteria above when substantive elements of the lease change. These elements can include changes to the lease term through exercise or otherwise of lease extension options or significant variations to amounts payable under the lease. Periodically, the Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain that extension options will be exercised if there is a significant event or change in circumstances. D2.

The above amounts are calculated from the balance of the franking account as at the end of the reporting period, adjusted for franking credits and debits that will arise from the settlement of liabilities or receivables for income tax and dividends after the end of the year. Capital Management In managing its capital, the Group’s primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide a consistent return for its equity shareholders through a combination of capital growth and distributions. In order to achieve this objective, the Group seeks to maintain a gearing ratio that balances risks and returns at an acceptable level and also to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the Group to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims, either through altering its dividend policy, new share issues or the reduction of debt, the Group considers not only its short-term position but also its long-term operational and strategic objectives. It is the Group’s policy to review its gearing ratio to ensure adequate funds are available to meet its obligations. 54 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CAPITAL AND FINANCING STRUCTURE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 D D3. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The group had contingent liabilities at 30 June 2022 in respect of: Matter Description Bank guarantees and Insurance bonds SE for guarantees issued to various clients for satisfactory contract performance, secured by cross guarantees Established in favour of National Australia Bank, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Swiss Re International from all wholly owned group members amounting to $32,450 thousand (2021: $32,923 thousand). Claims against the Group Certain claims, including those arising out of construction contracts, have been made by, or against, the Group The Directors do not consider the outcome of any of these claims will be materially different to the position taken in the financial accounts of the Group. Provisions From time to time the Group may be involved in litigation by or against the Group. The Directors have made adequate provisions (see note C5), which is the best estimate at the time and appropriate disclosures have been made unless their inclusion would be unreasonably prejudicial to the Group. D4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to financial risks that arise. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements. There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and polices and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group's finance function. The Group's risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material. The Board receives monthly reports from the Finance Department through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the objectives and policies it sets. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. The Group does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities. Included in trade receivables, the most significant customer accounts for 16.1% of trade receivables at balance date (2021: 5.8%). BSA only trades in Australia, as such the maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date on a country level is limited to Australia. Liquidity risk Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The table below sets out details of additional undrawn facilities that the Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk. 55 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 D CAPITAL AND FINANCING STRUCTURE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 Financing arrangements The following financing facilities were available at balance date: Credit stand-by arrangements Borrowing Base Facility Facility Limit Used Unused Cash Advance Facility Facility Limit Used Unused Master Asset Finance Facility Facility Limit Used Unused 2022 $'000 2021 $'000 37,500 (6,500) 31,000 6,000 (5,000) 1,000 223 (223) - 37,500 - 37,500 6,000 - 6,000 921 (921) - Total unused facilities at balance date 32,000 43,500 In addition to the above arrangements the group has bank guarantee facilities of $26,500 thousand (2021: $26,500 thousand) of which $23,554 thousand (2021: $15,703 thousand) was utilised. In addition to the above facilities the group has a surety bond facility with Swiss Re International SE of $12,000 thousand (2021: $20,000 thousand) which was utilised to $8,896 thousand (2021: $17,220 thousand). The following table details the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are at floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.

Measurement of financial liabilities are also based on the business model and are classified and measured either at amortised cost or FVTPL. Category Measurement Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividendincome, are recognised in profit or loss. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensiveincome, except for interest or dividend income, which are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at amortised cost cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised orloss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. Financial liabilities at amortised cost These liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenseis recognised in profit or loss with any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to the cashflows associated with the asset have expired. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the cashflows associated with the liability have been repaid or expired. Any gain or loss on derecognition (being the difference between the carrying value and the consideration received, if any) is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment Impairment requirements use an Expected Credit Loss (‘ECL’) model under which credit losses are recognised earlier than incurred. The impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost and contract assets. The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs for all applicable assets. The Group considers amortised cost financial assets with the counterparty being ‘investment grade’ to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to be AA- or higher per Standard & Poor’s. 57 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 D CAPITAL AND FINANCING STRUCTURE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 Measurement of ECLs ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses with the key exposure being in relation to trade receivables and contract assets. ECLs for trade receivables and contract assets are determined after considering specific provisions against the financial asset and uses an expected loss percentage from recorded historic credit losses for that specific population. The key disaggregation of the balances is between those that are with investment grade counterparties and the age of the financial asset outstanding in 30-day tranches up to more than 121 days overdue. These expected loss percentages are then modified for forward-looking economic factors, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group exercises considerable judgement about how the forward-looking economic factors impact each tranche independently, and applies a premium as deemed appropriate to adjust the historically determined default rates to present the total expected credit losses on the current balances. Presentation of impairment Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. 58 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 E NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GROUP STRUCTURE E1.

Under the deed, BSA Limited agrees to support the liabilities and obligations of the controlled entities. As all entities within the Group are members of the deed of cross guarantee their consolidated performance and position are the same as those presented in the primary financial statements, and, as such their performance and position have not been duplicated here. 59 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 E GROUP STRUCTURE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 Accounting policy The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: • has power over the investee, • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses 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 listed above. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

No rights were granted in FY2022. The details of the Group’s active SBP Plans in the current year are outlined in the following sections. Employee Performance Reward Plan The Employee Performance Rights Plan ('PRP Plan') was approved by shareholders at the 2008 AGM. The Plan was established to reward selected eligible employees and to: • provide an incentive for the creation of, and focus on, shareholder wealth, • enable the Group to recruit and retain the talented people needed to achieve the Group’s business objectives, • link the reward of key employees with the achievement of strategic goals and the Group’s performance, • align the financial interests of participants with the Group’s shareholders, and • ensure the remuneration packages of employees are consistent with market practice. Securities may be offered under the Plan and the Board has discretion to determine who is offered the opportunity to participate. 62 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 OTHER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 F PRP Plan (SR) Within the PRP Plan is a subset of Service Rights (SR). Service rights issued under the PRP Plan are only subject to service conditions, whereby the employee must remain employed by the Group until the vestment date. This is subject to a number of exceptions (including death, cessation of employment, takeovers and schemes of arrangement). Service Rights are typically used in the following instances by the Group: • As part of senior management short-term incentive payments, to encourage continued service and alignment of employee and shareholder interests. Senior management incentive payments generally include two components: - - an upfront cash payment for 50% of the reward, and a PRP Plan (SR) portion which grants employees service rights which vest 24 months post the relevant financial performance period with the number of service rights granted calculated based on the 10 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the Group’s shares after the release of the Group’s annual report for the relevant financial performance period. • As a method of retention of key employees who have joined the Group to ensure their remuneration packages are in-line with market practice in their first financial period prior to earning short-term incentives. PRP Plan (PR) Within the PRP Plan is a subset of Performance Rights (PR). Performance rights issued under the PRP Plan are subject to both non-market performance conditions and service conditions. Performance Rights are typically used to: • incentivise financial performance of section of the Group’s operations over the long-term, and • encourage continued service and alignment of employee and shareholder interests. Non-executive Director Fee Sacrifice Equity Plan The Non-executive Director (‘NED’) Fee Sacrifice Equity Plan (‘NED Plan’) purpose is to: • facilitate the acquisition of equity in the Group by NEDs serving on the board because it provides NEDs with “skin in the game” and aligns their interests with shareholders, • preserve the independence of NEDs by ensuring that NED participate in a separate equity plan from the PRP plan in which executives of the Group participate and for which NEDs set performance vesting conditions, and • overcome the challenges faced by NEDs in acquiring equity on-market due to governance and regulatory issues in a manner that is intended to demonstrate good-governance. The NED Plan allows for eligible NEDs, subsequent to AGM approval can sacrifce a portion of their NED fees for an equivalent number of deferred rights, which covert into shares of the Group. The deferred rights are issued within 30 days of the NED application and convert to shares 90 days after the issue of the deferred rights. The shares are held in the NEDs name and are restricted from trading until the earlier of 15 years from grant date and the date the NED no longer serves on the Board of the Group. As the NED Plan allows for the sacrifice of NED Fixed remuneration for a fixed value of shares this plan is considered a type of fixed remuneration sharebased payment. Accounting Policy Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at the value an independent third party would pay for them on the date they were granted (fair value). This fair value along with an estimate of how many of them are expected to be transferred to the employee at the end of the arrangement is expensed on a straightline basis from when the employee commenced working for them until the end of the arrangement (vesting). At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest with a corresponding increase in equity. The impact of the change in estimate, is recognised in profit or loss such that the total expense recognised over the arrangement to date reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve. 63 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 F OTHER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 F2. RESTATEMENT In April 2021 the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued an agenda decision related to accounting for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements. The IFRIC concluded configuration and customisation costs incurred in implementing SaaS arrangements should be expensed unless the criteria for recognising a separate asset are met. The Group outlined in notes C4 and F2 to the 30 June 2021 financial report that the impact of the change in accounting policy upon application of the SaaS IFRIC would be reflected as a retrospective restatement in the financial reports for the 2022 financial year. The implementation of this retrospective restatement is outlined below. As part of this implementation, an assessment of all historical expenditure on SaaS arrangements was undertaken. The assessment determined that due to the nature of the historic information, it was impracticable to identify those configuration, customisation and other activities which should remain capitalised on the application of the SaaS IFRIC. This impracticability of application has resulted in the expensing of all amounts in the periods in which they were incurred, where there is insufficient information to support on-going capitalisation under the SaaS IFRIC. The impact of the adoption of the SaaS IFRIC, including costs expensed are disclosed below: 30 June 2021 30 June 2021 30 June 2020 Statement of Financial Position Reported Adjustment $'000 $'000 Intangible assets 25,658 (8,363) Current tax assets/(liabilities) 5,454 2,509 Other net assets/(liabilities) (1,148) Net assets 29,964 (5,854) Restated $'000 17,295 7,963 (1,148) 24,110 Reported Adjustment $'000 $'000 20,407 (6,390) 7,611 1,917 4,270 - 32,288 (4,473) Accumulated losses (74,368) (5,854) (80,222) (75,749) (4,473) Other equity Equity 104,332 29,964 (5,854) 104,332 24,110 108,126 32,377 - (4,473) 30 June 2020 Restated $'000 14,017 9,528 4,270 27,815 (80,222) 108,126 27,904 Statement of Comprehensive Income Employee benefits expense Depreciation and amortisation expense Other expenses Other comprehensive income items before tax Profit before income tax Income tax expense Profit/(loss) for the period 30 June 2021 Reported Adjustment $'000 $'000 30 June 2021 Restated $'000 (54,583) (10,921) (31,951) (2,741) 887 (246) 100,184 - (57,324) (10,034) (32,197) 100,184 2,729 (2,100) 629 (1,250) 630 1,479 (1,470) (620) 9 Comprehensive income for the period 1,479 (1,470) 9 64 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 OTHER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 F 30 June 2021 Reported Adjustment $'000 $'000 30 June 2021 Restated $'000 (444,100) (2,987) 439,512 - (4,588) (2,987) (5,094) 2,987 (237) - (447,087) 439,512 (7,575) (2,107) (237) Statement of Cash flows Payments to supplier and employees Other operating cashflows Net cash outflow from operating activities Payments for intangible assets Other investing cashflows Net cash outflow from investing activities (5,331) 2,987 (2,344) F3. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reclassifications When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Significant reclassifications include the presentation of Significant Items on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income (previously included in Other expenses). Accelerated Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer On 6 April 2022 the Group announced a capital raising, including an Accelerated Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer (“ANREO”) to raise up to $15,500 thousand of share capital. The Group’s share price on announcement date was 12.3 cents per share. The instruments to be issued under the ANREO comprised of a single share in the Company and a one-for-one option for an additional share in the Company exercisable at 10 cents at any date to 30 April 2025. The two instruments were issued at a price of 10 cents, with the option valued under a Black-Scholes model at 5.0 cents per option and thus implying the value of the Group’s share at 5.0 cents per share. The difference between the share price at offer date of 12.3 cents per share and the offer value of 5.0 cents per share is treated as a bonus issue under the accounting standards and thus prior comparative period earnings per share have been restated for the bonus issue component of the ANREO. Sale and leaseback In the 2022 and 2021 financial year’s the Group undertook a sale and leaseback transactions (‘S&LB’) to free up capital in 10 motor vehicles (2021: 78) for more efficient use in the Group’s operations. The S&LB transaction resulted in a gain on sale of $131 thousand (2021: $854 thousand). New accounting standards and interpretations New accounting standards effective in the current year No new standards or amendments to accounting standards applicable to the current reporting period had a significant impact on the Group's financial statements. New accounting standards not yet effective At the date of authorisation of the financial report no Standards and Interpretations that were issued but not yet effective are anticipated to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements. Finance costs Finance costs relate to right-of-use liabilities, financial institution borrowing costs and bank guarantee costs and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount is not recoverable from the taxation authority. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flow on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows. 65 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 The Directors declare that: (a) In the Directors’ opinion, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable, (b) in the Directors’ opinion, the attached financial statements are in compliance with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards, as stated in note A1 to the financial statements, (c) In the Directors’ opinion, the attached financial statements and notes thereto are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with accounting standards and giving a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the consolidated entity, and (d) The Directors have been given the declarations required by s.295A of the Corporations Act 2001.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) (ii) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern We draw attention to Note A3 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss after tax of $42,242 thousand and a net cash outflow from operating activities of $13,774 thousand during the year ended 30 June 2022 and, as of that date, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $12,870 thousand and the Group’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $7,092 thousand. As stated in Note A3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note A3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Member of Deloitte Asia Pacific Limited and the Deloitte organisation. 67 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Page 2 Our procedures in relation to going concern included, but were not limited to: • • • • • Challenging the underlying assumptions reflected in management’s cash flow forecasts, including the timing of expected cash flows; Assessing the historical accuracy of the forecasts prepared by management; Inquiring with management and the board as to knowledge of events and conditions that may impact the assessment on the Group’s ability to pay its debts as and when they fall due; Assessing the cash position and availability of borrowing facilities as at 30 June 2022 and over the forecast period; and Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in Note A3 to the financial report. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

As disclosed in Note B2, revenue is derived from a number of contracts and recognised based on the stage of completion of each contract. Stage of completion of the construction work is determined with reference to the work completed, i.e. the percentage of work performed up to the reporting date compared to the total anticipated contract work to be performed. The recognition of revenue is dependent on the following key factors: • • Determination of stage of completion; • Estimation of total contract revenue and contract cost including the estimation of cost contingencies; • Determination of contractual entitlement and assessment of the probability of customer approval of variations and acceptance of claims; and • Estimation of project completion date. The Group recognises contract assets in respect of the progressive valuation of work completed as well as trade receivables which represent amounts invoiced to customers. Fire Build contract assets are amounts due to the Group from customers that have not been invoiced. Some of these contract assets are made up of claims 68 HHooww tthhee ssccooppee ooff oouurr aauuddiitt rreessppoonnddeedd ttoo tthhee KKeeyy AAuuddiitt MMaatttteerr Our procedures included, but were not limited to: • Evaluating management’s processes and controls over the recognition of Fire Build construction the contract respective trade receivables and contract assets including; revenue and collectability of - Obtaining an understanding of the key controls, in particular the estimation and review of costs to complete; and - Understanding the project review control that is undertaken by Group management on a monthly basis.

Judgement is applied when determining the likely litigation and claims. The most settlement of significant legal claims are related to payroll tax liabilities with the Office of State Revenue (“OSR”) in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. • Evaluating management’s processes and controls to assess the likely financial impact of legal proceedings; • Obtaining the Group’s litigation reports and making enquiries about the status of litigation matters with Group management and external legal advisors; • • • Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance to identify their consideration of legal proceedings as relevant and correspondence between the Group and its external legal advisors; Assessing management’s determination of the provisions recorded for potential litigation losses and claims; and Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in the financial statements. 69 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT RReeccoovveerraabbiilliittyy ooff ddeeffeerrrreedd ttaaxxaattiioonn aasssseettss Our procedures included, but were not limited to: Page 4 As disclosed in Note B4, deferred taxation assets were recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which a deductible temporary difference can be utilised.

Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 70 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Page 5 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 71 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Page 6 RReeppoorrtt oonn tthhee RReemmuunneerraattiioonn RReeppoorrtt Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 16 to 24 of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.
