CAPABILITY OVERVIEW

Capability Overview

Civmec’s multi-disciplinary capability offerings enable us to strategically deliver 
on all project life cycle requirements.

SITE CIVIL WORKS

Our civil business has been the heart of Civmec’s operations and is still core 

to what we do. We are at the forefront of creating innovative construction 

techniques that enable us to meet constrained deadlines.  We provide a 

full range of civil services which include: detailed earthworks, reinforcing 

steelwork, formwork, cast in embedments, concrete placement, backfill 

and compaction to final handover. Leveraging off our precast concrete 

operations, we can offer alternative site construction methods to deliver site 

labour efficiencies across our projects. 

PRECAST CONCRETE

Our precast concrete business has the capability to manufacture reinforced 

concrete products of all sizes for the civil construction industry including: 

structural foundations, caissons, floor slabs, retaining walls and suspended 

slab sections. We are able to manufacture precast concrete structures to 

tight tolerances to suit mechanical interfaces during site installation. We are 

also able to work to stringent specifications associated with concrete mixes 

and controlled curing temperatures. The precast business can draw on our 

steel fabrication capabilities to manufacture custom steel formwork for 

multiple use applications.

HEAVY ENGINEERING

Civmec’s 29,300m2 undercover waterfront facility is fully equipped with 

modern automated fabrication and robotic welding equipment. We 

fabricate: structural steel, platework, tanks, vessels, materials handling 

equipment, offshore structures, subsea structures  and pipe spooling for 

all types of process plants. We undertake both large and small fabrication 

projects including specialist welding of exotic materials such as titanium, 

stainless steels, duplex steel and copper alloys.

10   Civmec Limited Annual Report 2013

MODULARISATION

Our large undercover facility has high bays to cater for the assembly of 

large modules up to 29m wide x 19m high x 149m long. These can be 

fabricated and assembled into single units in our central bay. With the use 

of the onsite 4,600 tonne capacity Self Propelled Modular Transporters, 

modules can be transported with ease to the 6,000 tonne and 15,000 

tonne wharves located only 500 metres away without the need to cross 

any public roads.

SMP

Our structural, mechanical and piping (SMP) installation business has 

the technical expertise, project experience and skilled staff to undertake: 

structural assembly and erection, site welding, mechanical installations and 

alignments, piping installation and pre-commissioning support. We have the 

capacity to mobilise quickly to undertake site installation projects locally 

and at remote sites throughout Australia.

INSULATION

The Cape Civmec Insulation Group (CCIG), a 50% Civmec-owned 

company, provides industrial insulation solutions. We have the capability to 

undertake: sheet metal fabrication, light gauge fabrication, site installation 

of hot, cold, acoustic and cryogenic insulation systems. The sheet metal 

workshop is equipped with modern machinery including a high production 

computerised processing and forming machine.

OFFSHORE LOGISTICS

Our offshore logistics business provides comprehensive integrated supply 

chain solutions to onshore and offshore drilling. Further services offerings 

include production support services, offshore logistic support including

FOUNDATIONS 
READY FOR SOLID 
FUTURE GROWTH

After four years of developing relationships, building capability and capacity, 
and most importantly successfully delivering on projects for major companies 
in the oil and gas, and mining sectors, Civmec has consolidated its strengths 
and is poised to continue the momentum. 

When establishing this business, our goal was to develop a multi-disciplinary 
organisation strongly focused on servicing the oil and gas, mining, utilities 
and infrastructure sectors. The soundness of that strategy has been evidenced 
by the tremendous growth Civmec has achieved in such a short period. That 
growth continued in the 2013 financial year as the company substantially 
grew its activity in the expanding oil and gas sector and matured its position 
in the mining sector. The Board and executive leadership team continues to 
implement strategies to further develop the business, in particular through 
applying our proven capabilities in new geographic markets and expanding our 
service scope to align with the changing needs of our existing customer base.

In contrast to a backdrop of challenging global economic conditions, I am 
pleased to report that our revenue increased by 23.5% from S$328.6 million to 
S$405.9 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2013. In turn the Group’s 
net profit after tax has grown by 18.9% from S$30.3 million to S$36.0 million. 
That this profit result is substantially higher than the company’s total revenue in 
2010 is a mark of how much Civmec has grown, and how well it has performed.

“Civmec has 
consolidated its 
strengths and is 
poised to  
continue the 
momentum”

Executive Chairman

the A$29 billion Wheatstone LNG 
and A$33 billion Ichthys underway 
in western and northern Australia 
respectively. In line with strategy, 
Civmec made significant inroads in 
this sector during the year, increasing 
revenues by 81% to S$144 million 
meaning it now represents over one-
third of total revenue.

To further capitalise on predicted 
growth in this sector, and to continue 
our strategic plan of geographical 
expansion, we established an 
operational base in Darwin, the capital 
of Australia’s Northern Territory.

I am immensely proud of what we 
have achieved together.

On behalf of the Board I extend our 
thanks to Mr Chelva Retnam Rajah, 
who retired as an Independent 
Director with effect from October 
25, 2012. The insights and expertise 
Chelva brought to the boardroom 
were highly valued and will be 
missed. I also welcome Mr Douglas 
Owen Chester to the Board as 
Independent Director. He has already 
proved to be a valuable addition. 

On a personal level I thank the 
current Board of Directors for 
providing the vision and guidance 
that our organisation needs to ensure 
our continued success. Finally I 
would like to extend my appreciation 
to all our shareholders who continue 
to show tremendous support for the 

As we look to the future we will continue to serve 
all our stakeholders with diligence.

Behind our achievements lies the 
strength of Civmec – our diversity, 
our innovation, our reputation for 
excellence, and our people. 

Our strength in innovation provides 
the foundation for the delivery of 
high quality, cost effective solutions 
to our clients, which in turn builds 
our reputation. At the heart of this 
are our people, whose dedication 
and expertise has been the catalyst 
for the company’s success.

Civmec’s proven culture of success 
derives from combining our 
motivated and skilled workforce with 
leadership from our Chief Executive 
Officer and his highly regarded and 
experienced management team. It is 
this driving culture and passion that 
gives the confidence and belief to 
achieve Civmec’s long-term vision. 

I take this opportunity to thank 
our staff for the contribution they 
have made to this year’s extremely 

company as we enter into an exciting 
phase of our strategic direction.

As we look to the future we will 
continue to serve all our stakeholders 
with diligence. Our mission is to 
provide innovative solutions to our 
clients and be known as a company 
that delivers and is ever dependable. 
We will achieve this by investing 
in our people, by challenging our 
processes with rigour to continually 
improve, and by continuing to 
position the business to meet future 
requirements. 

Yours Sincerely 

James Finbarr Fitzgerald

Our plan to initially focus on 
Australia’s robust resources 
sector has been instrumental in 
countering adverse global economic 
effects. Civmec has matured and 
strengthened its market position in 
this sector and remains well placed 
to pursue both new mine expansion 
and mine infrastructure and upgrade 
contracts going forward. 

Through our diverse capabilities 
and existing customer relationships, 
Civmec can readily adapt to 
the perceived shift in resources 
investment, in particular increased 
emphasis on output efficiency in 
the mining sector. During the year 
we added Asset Management 
and Integrated Services to our 
Operational Management structure 
to maximise our focus on, and 
alignment with, this business stream. 
This forms part of our corporate 
strategy of expansion and provides 
an avenue to meet the current focus 
of the mining sector.

It also establishes the basis for 
future opportunities in the oil and 
gas sector, which remains strong as 
is evident with new projects such as

CEO ANNUAL REVIEW

Operational Overview

•  Successfully completed approximately 13,000 tonnes of fabricated and 

modularised structures for BHP’s S$5.6 billion Port Facility. 

•  Manufactured and supplied subsea manifolds for Apache’s Coniston project,  
and awarded further works for the Balnaves and Greater East Spar projects.

•  Supplier of modules and structural steel for the Chevron A$52 billion Gorgon 

LNG Project.

•  Manufactured and supplied approximately 120,000 tonnes of precast concrete 

for the Chevron Gorgon LNG Project on Barrow Island.

•  Awarded contract to supply 90,000 tonnes of pre-cast Accropode II units to 

the Chevron Wheatstone LNG Project.

•  Successfully completed the fabrication and delivery of the largest iron ore car 

dumpers ever built in Australia.

•  Successful completion of circa 35,000m3 concrete civil packages for Rio Tinto.

Given the high levels of forecast expenditure in the oil and gas sector in 

coming years, the significant growth achieved by our Oil and Gas Segment was 

particularly pleasing. In this sector the company secured and commenced a 

number of new contracts for the manufacture and supply of high-specification 

subsea manifolds. 

As the main Australian supplier of structural steel for the A$52 billion Gorgon 

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Project, Civmec was invited to also manufacture and

Reflecting the strong relationships we have developed as a result of successful 

project work, several key contracts that were secured and commenced in 2012 

increased in scope and value during the year, providing additional site civil, 

fabrication and precast concrete works. 

Among many notable operational highlights during the year, the company 

successfully completed 13,000 tonne of fabrication and modularised structures 

for BHP’s port facility, as well as completing the fabrication and delivery of the 

largest iron ore car dumper ever built in Australia.

Safety

At  Civmec, health and safety remains our priority in conducting our business. 

The well being of our employees is of the utmost importance and we continually 

strive to ensure we have a ‘safe day, good day’ everyday.

We have a practical and effective safety management system which is used 

to direct and assist employees in working safely in accordance with our high 

standards. The commitment of our Board and Management, along with the 

cooperation and involvement of our people, is essential in achieving a high level 

of accident prevention and by engaging input from employees at all levels, we 

continually improve our procedures and standards. 

The development and implementation of our “positive safety culture” 

throughout our sites has improved site safety statistics and provided a 

considerable morale boost for the site teams. With the support and guidance 

of management, the safety initiatives were established and implemented by 

the site teams and were based on the principle of “respect”, being the respect 

and well being for each other, and respect for company assets and equipment. 

This resulted in the Total Recordable Incident Frequency Rating (TRIFR) on site 

reach an all time low of 1.5. We continue to see positive results with the number 

of incident free days improving.

Civmec has also implemented an employee safety incentive which will 

simultaneously benefit The Dreamfit Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation to 

help people with disabilities fulfil dreams. By achieving specific safety KPI’s, the 

company will donate proceeds from the subsequent savings to Dreamfit.

STRATEGIC 
HIGHLIGHTS

In addition to successfully 

executing a number of major 

projects, and securing further work 

in existing markets, Civmec made 

significant progress on a number 

of initiatives that will enable the 

company to continue to build on its 

ability to provide turnkey solutions, 

by expanding and evolving its 

capabilities and skilled disciplines. 

We are proud to see the 

completion and occupancy of our 

new, purpose-built headquarters 

office complex adjacent to our 

existing 29,300m2 waterfront 

workshop facilities in Henderson, 

Western Australia. The new offices 

enable us to better meet the 

needs of our clients and provide a 

greater support to our subsidiary 

operations in Onslow, Darwin 

and other site locations. This 

enables us to maximise off site 

project planning and management 

activities, resulting in a lower 

project cost base and more 

attractive value proposition for our 

current and prospective clients.  

During the year, we further 

expanded the Henderson facilities

from 20 to 275 tonnes. These investments further improve our ability to 

provide turn-key solutions to remote major construction projects. 

The company has also expanded to secure additional work in northern

26   Civmec Limited Annual Report 2013

OUTLOOK

Following extraordinary growth in 2012, 2013 was a year in which 

successes were consolidated by maintaining a consistent order book. As a 

result the company is now ready to capitalise on those solid foundations 

and embark on a longer term expansion phase. Our ability to leverage 

our multi-disciplinary capabilities to adapt and service a broad range 

of construction and fabrication work in all our key operating markets 

and beyond provides expansive scope for securing new business. This is 

reflected in our high levels of tendering activity, which also contributes to 

our positive outlook.

With A$268 billion committed to 

additional investment focus on 

Australian resources and energy

feasibility stage projects in Western 

Australia and the Northern Territory, 

we are well positioned to capitalise 

on those opportunities, particularly 

as a result of the strategic initiatives 

and facility investments made during 

the year.

With the A$52 billion Gorgon LNG 

project well underway and the A$29 

billion Wheatstone LNG recently 

commencing, the oil & gas market is 

strong and is forecast to remain so 

for a number of years.

Although not experiencing the 

rapid growth of recent years, capital 

expenditure in the mining sector 

is forecast to remain at high levels 

despite some new mine projects 

being deferred to recommence in the 

future. There are however a number 

of new projects that are likely to 

come online in the near future. 

Strategically and geographically we 

are positioned well to capitalise on 

these prospects. 

The outlook for other infrastructure 

projects is also encouraging as 

investment in port upgrades, 

defence, energy and agriculture 

sectors gain momentum. 

Although we recognise the timing 

risks associated with project 

horizons, we are continually 

positioning the company to 

ensure we take advantage of the 

opportunities. 

Our ability to capitalise on the 

opportunities that lie ahead, as with 

our success to date, is very much a 

team effort. To that end I am very 

pleased the leadership, passion 

and enthusiasm of the founding 

executive team has been instilled

OIL AND GAS

The Oil and Gas Segment performed well during the 2013 financial year, increasing revenue contribution by more than 

80%. New contracts included subsea projects for Apache’s Coniston, Balnaves and Greater Eastern Spar projects. Critical 

to the oil and gas industry, subsea work is both high quality and growing in size, so our ability to secure these projects 

reflects our high-end capabilities and potential for the future. The scope of works included the fabrication and assembly 

of a three and six slot oil manifold; two oil production line end manifolds (PLEMs); and a number of goosenecks. Civmec 

also provided support and site services through factory acceptance and integrated systems testing.

For the Gorgon LNG project  – one of the world’s largest natural gas projects, and the largest single resource project in 

Australia’s history – the company has supplied over 11,000 tonnes of structural steel and manufactured approximately 

120,000 tonnes of precast footings under its contract for underground services package. The ability to produce this 

at the waterfront facility in Henderson eliminated environmental impact at the site.  Demonstrating Civmec’s ability 

to deliver both quality and quantity to support project requirements, peak production of these precast concrete 

components reached 1,250m3 per week.

Reflecting the high regard in which the company’s capabilities are held, Civmec was awarded additional scope in 

surface treatment, pipe spooling and modular assembly.  Additional Gorgon contracts for structural steel components 

fabricated in the Henderson facility are now being assembled and erected.

The company also marked its entry into the Chevron operated Wheatstone LNG project by securing an Australian-first 

contract to produce 37,500m3 of Accropode II precast concrete blocks for construction of the LNG wharf. To facilitate 

efficient project delivery Civmec established a 50,000m2, purpose built yard and set up a nearby accommodation 

village to house our workforce, close to the installation site, and established the equipment and facility required to 

produce 12,500 individual Accropode II units.

West Australia.

28   Civmec Limited Annual Report 2013

MINING

The successful completion of major site civil works at Rio Tinto mines contributed to the Mining Segment’s 

continued solid performance in the 2013 financial year. The Marandoo and Hope Downs 4 projects involved 

placing approximately 35,000m3 of concrete and 3,500 tonnes of steel reinforcement over a period of 24 months.

Civmec recognises further opportunities in supporting and upgrading existing mines as some miners seek to 

increase capacity by improving output efficiencies in lieu of opening or expanding into new mines.

The company also successfully completed the supply of approximately 13,000 tonnes of fabricated and 

modularised  structures for BHP’s S$5.6 billion Port Facility. The quality of product earned high praise from the 

client who described it as ‘industry leading’. This also lead to a follow on package of work that comprised 2,300 

tonnes of fabricated and modularised structures for the project.

Another stand out project undertaken by the segment was for Metso. For this Civmec manufactured and delivered 

the largest iron ore car dumper ever built in Australia. Following on from this the segment secured contracts for 

two more tandem car dumpers.

The segment has also won new contracts for site civil and fabrication works in the gold mining region of 

Kalgoorlie. The scope of works on the Mungari Gold contract includes detailed earth works and concrete works as 

well as onsite tank and bin fabrication.

Other sectors including ports, energy, agriculture and water continue to provide infrastructure project 

opportunities for the segment’s existing capabilities.

Location: Barrow Island, Western Australia 

Civmec scope of works:  

Civmec was awarded the contract for the Shop Fabrication of 

Structural Steel for the Gorgon Downstream LNG Project at Barrow 

Island off the Northwest coast of Western Australia.

The project involves the construction and commissioning of a liquefied 

natural gas plant, condensate handling facilities, carbon dioxide 

injection facilities and various utilities and comprises 3 trains for which 

Civmec is supplying over 11,000 tonnes of structural steel. Civmec 

was also awarded the preassembly of modular frames in various 

configurations and both carbon and stainless steel pipe supports. 

We also delivered over 120,000 tonnes of precast concrete 

components for the Gorgon Barrow Island LNG onshore process plant.

ASSET 
MANAGEMENT 
& INTEGRATED 
SERVICES 

The company expanded and 

realigned its operational structure 

to include the new Asset 

Management and Integrated 

Services Segment during the 2013 

financial year. 

The company has strategically 

positioned the segment to take 

advantage of Civmec’s core skills 

and capabilities in meeting the 

requirements of the mining sector’s 

output efficiency focus. These 

requirements include infrastructure 

upgrades, major maintenance and 

servicing work. 

Shutdowns and capital 

maintenance scheduling generated 

by the oil and gas sector are also 

a focus. With its extensive modern 

waterfront facility in Henderson 

and a large skilled workforce 

that can be quickly mobilised, 

the company is well positioned 

to provide offsite fabrication and 

other support for these activities.

While not a quick entry market 

sector, the segment is evolving and 

the outlook remains positive as the 

new project management team 

gains momentum. 

New opportunities to service 

customers have already been 

identified, with scaffolding services 

recently added to the segment’s 

suite of capabilities. Continuing 

contracts including the Brockman 

projects for civil and maintenance 

works are performing well.

SEGMENT REPORTSStrength Through Innovation 

Civmec sustains its competitive advantages by driving and unlocking the 
value of innovation, and developing strategic partnerships. The success of the 
company’s projects demonstrate the benefits of continually nurturing a culture 
of innovative thinking and continuous improvement. As the following examples 
show, strength through innovation has delivered customised solutions and 
ensured cost effective outcomes without compromising safety and quality. 

•  Accropodes II units for the Wheatstone LNG Project – innovative manufacturing methods enabled 
Civmec to be price competitive against imports from lower cost countries, resulting in the first ever 

contract for Australian made units.

•  Tandem car dumpers for Metso – the completion of the design award winning tandem car dumper  
for Rio Tinto was followed by the awarding of contracts for a further two tandem car dumpers.

•  Precast concrete modules for Gorgon – the use of re-usable custom made formwork and application 
of methodologies that improved safety, accuracy, and productivity were innovations that contributed 

to the success of this contract for Leighton.

•  Workshop innovation – continuous improvements in workflows and materials handling, use of 

high-tech multi-purpose robotic tools, and automated beam and plate processing contribute to the 

company’s highly efficient, high quality fabrication. 

•  Safety innovations – this has been the driving force behind our teams’ willingness and initiative to 
introduce new safety methods across our projects. The high level of accountability and innovation 

demonstrated by our team members allows us to deliver projects in a safer work environment, whilst 

delivering positive project cost efficiencies, in many cases.

Civmec’s strength through innovation has delivered customised solutions and ensured cost effective 

savings without compromising safety and quality.

on the quarterly basis whenever there is a  
whistle-blowing issue.

The AC has reviewed the external auditors’ non-
audit services, and was of the opinion that there was 
no non-audit services rendered that would affect 
the independence of the external auditors. The AC 
recognises the need to maintain a balance between the 
independence and objectivity of the external auditors 
and the work carried out by the external auditors based 
on value for money consideration. 

The AC has recommended to the Board the re-
appointment of Messrs Moore Stephens LLP as the 
Company’s external auditors.

The Company confirms that Rules 712 and 715 of the 
Listing Manual have been complied with.

Maintains a sound system of internal controls to 
safeguard the shareholders’ investments and the 
Company’s assets.

The Group’s internal controls and systems are designed 
to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and 
reliability of the financial information and to safeguard 
and maintain accountability of assets. Procedures 
are in place to identify major business risks and 
evaluate potential financial effects, as well as for the 
authorisation of capital expenditure and investments. 

The external auditors carry out, in the course of their 
statutory audit, an annual review of the effectiveness 
of the Group’s key internal controls, including financial, 
operational and compliance controls as well as risk 
management to the extent of their scope as laid 
out in their audit plan. Any material weaknesses in 
internal controls, together with recommendation for 
improvement, are reported to the AC. 

It is the opinion of the Board that, in the absence 
of evidence to the contrary, the system of internal 
controls maintained by the Company’s Management 
and that were in place throughout the financial year 
and up to the date of this report provide reasonable, 
but not absolute, assurance against material financial 
misstatements or losses. This includes the safeguarding 
of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting 
records, the reliability of financial information, 
compliance with appropriate legislation, regulations 
and best practices, and the identification and 
containment of financial, operational and compliance 
risks. The Board is therefore of the view, with the 
concurrence of the AC, that the system of internal 
controls and risk management maintained by the Group 
is adequate to safeguard shareholders’ investments and 
the Group’s assets in the current business environment. 

The Company has established a whistle-blowing 
policy where staff of the Group may, in confidence, 
raise concerns about possible improprieties in matters 
of financial reporting, fraudulent acts and other 
matters, and ensure that arrangements are in place for 
independent investigations of such matters and for 

The Board notes that all internal control systems are 
designed to manage rather than eliminate risks and 
no system of internal controls could provide absolute 
assurance against the occurrence of material errors, 
poor judgment in decision-making, human error losses, 
fraud or other irregularities.

Share Options 

Civmec Employee Share Option Scheme 

The  Civmec  Employee  Share  Option  Scheme  (the  “CESOS”)  for  key  management  personnel  and 
employers of the Group formed part of the Civmec Limited prospectus dated 5 April 2012. 

The  Remuneration  Committee  (the  “RC”)  administering  the  Scheme  comprises  directors,  Mr  Wong 
Fook Choy Sunny (Chairman of the Committee), Mr Chong Teck Sin and Mr Douglas Owen Chester. 

The CESOS forms an integral and important component of the employee compensation plan, which is 
designed  to  primarily  reward  and  retain  key  management  and  employees  of  the  Company  whose 
services are integral to the success and the continued growth of the Company. 

Principal terms of the Scheme 

(i) 

Participants 

Under the rules of the Scheme, executive and non-executive directors (including independent 
directors)  and  employees  of  the  Company,  who  are  not  Controlling  Shareholders  or  their 
associates, are eligible to participate in the Scheme. 

Persons  who  are  Controlling  Shareholders  and  their  Associates  shall  not  participate  in  the 
CESOS unless: 

(a)  written  justification  has  been  provided  to  Shareholders  for  their  participation  at  the 

introduction of the CESOS or prior to the first grant of Options to them; 

(b) 

 the  actual  number  and  terms  of  any  Options  to  be  granted  to  them  have  been 
specifically  approved  by  Shareholders  who  are  not  beneficiaries  of  the  grant  in  a 
general meeting in separate resolutions for each such Controlling Shareholder; and 

(c) 

all conditions for their participation in the CESOS as may be required by the regulation 
of the SGX-ST from time to time are satisfied.

Principal terms of the Scheme (cont’d) 

(ii) 

Size of the Scheme 

The aggregate number of new Shares in respect of which Options may be granted on any date 
under the CESOS, when added to (i) the number of new Shares issued and issuable in respect 
of all Options granted thereunder, and (ii) all new Shares issued and issuable pursuant to any 
other share-based incentive schemes of our Company, shall not exceed 15% of the number of 
issued  Shares  on  the  day  immediately  preceding  the  relevant  Date  of  Grant  (or  such  other 
limit as the SGX-ST may determine from time to time). 

(iii) 

Options, Exercise Period and Exercise Price 

The  Options  that  are  granted  under  the  Scheme  may  have  exercise  prices  that  are,  at  the 
Committee’s  discretion,  set  at  a  price  as  quoted  on  the  Singapore  Exchange  for  five  market 
days  immediately  preceding  the  date  of  grant  (the  “Market  Price”)  equal  to  the  weighted 
average share price of the shares for the last trading day immediately preceding the relevant 
date of grant of the option or at a discount to the Market Price (subject to a maximum discount 
of  20%).  Options  which  are  fixed  at  the  Market  Price  (“Market  Price  Option”)  may  be 
exercised  after  the  first  anniversary  of  the  date  of  grant  of  that  option  while  options 
exercisable at a discount to the Market Price (“Incentive Option”) may only be exercised after 
the  second  anniversary  from  the  date  of  grant  of  the  option.  The  vesting  of  the  options  is 
conditional on the key management personnel or employees completing another two years of 
service  to  the  Group  and  the  Group  achieving  its  targets  of  profitability  and  sales  growth. 
Once the options are vested, they are exercisable for a period of three years. 

(iv) 

Grant Options 

Under the rules of the Scheme, there are no fixed periods for the  grant of options. As such, 
offers for the grant of options may be made at any time, from time to time at the discretion of 
the Committee. 

In  addition,  in  the  event  that  an  announcement  on  any  matter  of  an  exceptional  nature 
involving unpublished price sensitive information is imminent, offers may only be made after 
the second market day from the date on which the aforesaid announcement is made.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 

Independent Auditors’ Report

CIVMEC LIMITED 
(Incorporated in Singapore) 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  statements  of  Civmec  Limited  (the  “Company”)  and  its 
subsidiaries  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “Group”)  as  set  out  on  pages  67  to  126,  which  comprise  the 
consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  of  the  Group  and  the  statement  of  financial  position  of  the 
Company  as  at  30  June  2013,  and  the  consolidated  income  statement,  consolidated  statement  of 
comprehensive  income,  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  consolidated  statement  of  cash 
flows  of  the  Group  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other 
explanatory information. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in 
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Singapore  Companies  Act,  (Cap.  50)  (the  “Act”)  and  Singapore 
Financial  Reporting  Standards,  and  for  devising  and  maintaining  a  system  of  internal  accounting  controls 
sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or 
disposition;  and  transactions  are  properly  authorised  and  that  they  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  the 
preparation  of  true  and  fair  profit  and  loss  accounts  and  balance  sheets  and  to  maintain  accountability  of 
assets. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment 
of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  making 
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial 
statements  that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the 
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal 
controls.  An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation 
of the financial statements. 

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

Significant Accounting Policies 

(a) 

Basis of Preparation 

The Group is regarded as a continuing entity resulting from the Group Restructuring Exercise since 
all the entities which took part in the Group Restructuring are deemed to be controlled by the same 
ultimate  controlling  parties,  James  Finbarr  Fitzgerald  and  Olive  Theresa  Fitzgerald  (acting  as 
trustees  for  the  JF  &  OT  Fitzgerald  Family  Trust)  and  Goldfirm  Pty  Ltd  (acting  as  trustee  for  the 
Kariong  Investment  Trust).  Consequently,  immediately  after  the  Group  Restructuring,  there  is  a 
continuation of the risks and benefits to the ultimate controlling parties that exist prior to the Group 
Restructuring Exercise. The Group Restructuring Exercise has been accounted for as a restructuring 
under common control in a manner similar to pooling of interests. 

Accordingly, the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 have been prepared 
on  the  basis  of  merger  accounting  and  comprise  the  audited  financial  statements  of  the  entities 
which  are  under  common  control  of  the  ultimate  controlling  parties  that  exist  before  and  after  the 
Group Restructuring Exercise. 

In applying merger accounting, financial statement items of the combining entities or businesses for 
the  reporting  period  in  which  the  common  control  combination  occurs  and  for  any  comparative 
periods  disclosed,  are  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  the  entity  as  if  the  combination  had 
occurred from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the 
controlling party or parties.   

A single uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by the entity. Therefore, the entity recognises 
the assets, liabilities and equity of the consolidated entities or businesses at the carrying amounts in 
the financial statements of the controlling party or parties prior to the common control combination. 
There is no recognition of any goodwill or excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of 
the  acquiree’s  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  over  cost  at  the  time  of  the 
common  control  combination.  The  effects  of  all  transactions  between  the  consolidated  entities  or 
businesses,  whether  occurring  before  or  after  the  combination,  are  eliminated  in  preparing  the 
consolidated financial statements of the entity. 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Singapore  Financial  Reporting 
Standards (“FRS”) and have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed 
in the accounting policies below.

Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

(a) 

Basis of Preparation (cont’d) 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  FRS  requires  management  to  exercise 
judgement in the process of applying the Group’s critical accounting policies and requires the use of 
certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the reporting dates, and the 
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the relevant periods.  Although these estimates are 
based  on  management’s  best  knowledge  of  historical  experience  and  other  factors,  including 
expectations  of  future  events  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances,  actual 
results may differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on 
an ongoing basis.   

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty used that are significant to 
the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements. 

(b) 

(i) 

Adoption of New/Revised Singapore Financial Reporting Standards 

New or Revised FRS Effective in the Current Year 

For  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2013,  the  Group  and  the  Company  has  adopted  the 
following new or revised FRS that are mandatory for application in the said year and which 
are relevant to the Group as follows: 

Amendments to FRS 1  

Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income 

The amendments to FRS 1 changes the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive 
income.  Items  that  will  be  reclassified  subsequently  to  profit  and  loss  when  specific 
conditions  are  met  would  be  presented  separately  from  items  that  will  not  be  reclassified 
subsequently to profit or loss. As the amendments only affect the presentation of items that 
are already recognised in other comprehensive income, there is no impact on the financial 
position or performance of the Group upon adoption of these amendments. 

(ii) 

New or Revised FRS Issued But Not Yet Effective 

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group and the Company has 
not applied the following new and revised FRS that have been issued and which are relevant 
to the Group and the Company but will only be effective for the Group for annual periods 
beginning 1 July 2013 onwards.  

FRS 27 (Revised)  

Separate Financial Statements 

FRS  27  (Revised)  will  now  solely  address  separate  financial  statements,  the  requirements 
for  which  are  substantially  unchanged.  It  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or 
after  1  January  2014  and  will  not  have  any  impact  on  the  financial  position  or  financial 
performance of the Group when implemented.

FRS  28  (Revised)  changes  in  scope  as  a  result  of  the  issuance  of  FRS  111  Joint 
Arrangements. It  continues  to  prescribe  the  mechanics  of  equity  accounting.    The  changes 
are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, and will have no 
impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group when implemented. 

FRS 110  

Consolidated Financial Statements 

FRS 110 Consolidated Financial Statements supersedes FRS 27 Consolidated and Separate 
Financial Statements  and  INT  FRS  12  Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities,  which  is 
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.   

The standard changes the definition of control and applies it to all investees to determine the 
scope of consolidation. FRS 110 requirements will apply to all types of potential subsidiary. 
It  requires  an  investor  to  reassess  the  decision  whether  to  consolidate  an  investee  when 
events indicate that there may be a change to one of the three elements of control, i.e. power, 
variable  returns  and  the  ability  to  use  power  to  affect  returns.  The  Group  has  reassessed 
which entities the Group controls and expects no change. 

FRS 111 

Joint Arrangements 

FRS111  which  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2014, 
supersedes FRS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures Arrangements, eliminates the option of using 
proportionate  consolidation  for  a  jointly  controlled  entity  and  FRS  31’s  ‘jointly  controlled 
operations’  and  ‘jointly  controlled  assets’  categories.  These  categories  will  fall  into  the 
newly defined category ‘joint operation’. The adoption of this standard will have no impact 
on the financial position or financial performance of the Group when implemented.

FRS 112 

Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities 

FRS 112 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities, which is effective from 1 January 2014 
combines  the  disclosure  requirements  for  subsidiaries,  joint  arrangements,  associates  and 
structured entities within a comprehensive disclosure standard. FRS 112 specifies minimum 
disclosures that an entity must provide. It requires an entity to provide summarised financial 
information about the assets, liabilities, profit or loss and cash flows of each subsidiary that 
has  non-controlling  interests  that  are  material  to  the  reporting  entity  and  to  disclose  the 
nature  of  its  interests  in  unconsolidated  structured  entities  and  the  nature  of  the  risks  it  is 
exposed to as a result; a schedule of the impact on the parent entity is required for changes 
in  the  ownership  interest  in  a  subsidiary  without  a  loss  of  control;  details  of  any  gain/loss 
recognised  on  loss  of  control,  and  the  line  item  of  the  income  statement  in  which  it  is 
recognised; year ends of subsidiaries, joint arrangements or associates if different from the 
parent’s that are consolidated using different year ends and the reasons for using a different 
date.  As this is a disclosure standard, it will not have any impact on the financial position or 
financial performance of the Group when implemented. 

FRS 113 

Fair Value Measurement 

FRS  113  Fair  Value  Measurement  provides  guidance  on  how  to  measure  fair  values 
including  those  for  both  financial  and  non-financial  items  and  introduces  significantly 
enhanced  disclosures  about  fair  values.  It  does  not  address  or  change  the  requirements  on 
when  fair  values  should  be  used.  When  measuring  fair  value,  an  entity  is  required  to  use 
valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the 
use of unobservable inputs.  It requires disclosures of a fair value hierarchy for all assets and 
liabilities measured at fair value. This FRS is to be applied for annual periods beginning on 
or after 1 January 2013.  The Group is in the process of assessing the impact on the financial 
statements.  As  for  the  disclosures,  it  will  not  have  any  impact  on  the  financial  position  or 
financial performance of the Group when implemented.

Amendments to FRS 32  

Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 

The amendments to FRS 32 clarify that an entity must currently have a legally enforceable 
right of set off that is: 

(a) 
(b) 

not contingent on a future event; and 
legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances: 

(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 

the normal course of business; 
the event of default; and 
the  event  of  insolvency  or  bankruptcy  of  the  entity  and  all  of  the

The  amendment  to  FRS  32  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January 
2014.  The Group is in the process of assessing the impact on the financial statements. 

Amendments to FRS 107 

Disclosure  of  Offsetting  of  Financial  Assets  and 
Financial Liabilities 

Amendments  to  FRS  107  contain  new  disclosure  requirements  for  financial  assets  and 
financial liabilities that are offset in the statement of financial position or are subject to master 
netting arrangements or similar agreements. Therefore, an entity needs to identify all financial 
assets and financial liabilities that fall within the two categories mentioned. The amendments 
explain  that  their  scope  includes  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  subject  to  similar 
agreements that cover similar financial instruments and transactions. It is effective for annual 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. As this is a disclosure standard, it will not have 
any impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group when implemented.

Basis of Consolidation 

Subsidiaries  are  entities  over  which  the  Group  has  power  to  govern  the  financial  and  operating 
policies  so  as  to  obtain  benefits  from  its  activities,  generally  accompanied  by  a  shareholding  giving 
rise  to  a  majority  of  the  voting  rights.  The  existence  and  effect  of  potential  voting  rights  that  are 
currently  exercisable  or  convertible  are  considered  when  assessing  whether  the  Group  controls 
another  entity.  Subsidiaries  are  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  to  the 
Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.

(c) 

Basis of Consolidation (cont’d) 

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on 
transactions  between  group  entities  are  eliminated.  Unrealised  losses  are  also  eliminated  but  are 
considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have 
been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

Subsidiaries  are  consolidated  from  the  date  of  acquisition,  being  the  date  on  which  the  Group 
obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. 

Non-controlling  interests  are  that  part  of  the  net  results  of  operations  and  of  net  assets  of  a 
subsidiary attributable to the interests which are not owned  directly or indirectly by owners of the 
Company. They are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement 
of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and statements of financial 
position.  Total  comprehensive  income  is  attributed  to  the  non-controlling  interests  based  on  their 
respective  interests  in  a  subsidiary,  even  if  this  results  in  the  non-controlling  interests  having  a 
deficit balance. 

(d) 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  or  receivable  after  taking  into 
account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed.  

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. 

Interest  income  is  recognised  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method,  which  for  floating  rate 
financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.  

Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term as set out in specific rental 
agreements. 

Revenue  from  construction  contracts  is  recognised  in  accordance  with  the  Group’s  accounting 
policy on construction contract (see Note 2(g) Construction Contracts and Work in Progress below). 

Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of 
completion  of  the  transaction  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  and  where  the  outcome  of  the 
contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services 
performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome 
cannot  be  estimated  reliably,  revenue  is  recognised  only  to  the  extent  that  related  expenditure  is 
recoverable. 

All revenue is stated net of goods and services tax (“GST”).

(e) 

Income Tax 

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 

Current income tax are recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax 
authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 
balance sheet date. 

Deferred  income  tax  are  recognised  for  all  temporary  differences  arising  between  the  tax  bases  of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred 
income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that 
is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of 
the transaction. 

Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  recognised  on  all  temporary  differences  except  for  taxable  temporary 
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint venture, where the Group is able to 
control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary 
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused 
tax credits  and  unused  tax  losses,  to the extent  that it  is  probable  that  future taxable profit  will be 
available  against  which  the  deductible  temporary  differences,  and  the  carry  forward  of  unused  tax 
credits  and  unused  tax  losses  can  be  utilised  except  where  the  deferred  tax  asset  relating  to  the 
deductible  temporary  difference  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a 
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the 
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. In respect of deductible temporary differences associated 
with investments in subsidiaries and interest in joint venture, deferred tax assets are recognised only 
to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future 
and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured: 

(i) 

(ii)  

at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or 
the  deferred  income  tax  liability  is  settled,  based  on  tax  rates  and  tax  laws  that  have  been 
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date; and 

based  on  the  tax  consequence  that  would  follow  from  the  manner  in  which  the  Group 
expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and 
liabilities. 

The  carrying  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  reviewed  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  and 
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to 
allow  all  or  part  of  the  deferred  tax  asset  to  be  utilised.  Unrecognised  deferred  tax  assets  are 
reassessed  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  and  are  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  has  become 
probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Income Tax (cont’d) 

Current  income  taxes  are  recognised  in  profit  and  loss  except  to  the  extent  that  the  tax  relates  to 
items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. 
Management  periodically  evaluates  positions  taken  in  the  tax  returns  with  respect  to  situations  in 
which  applicable  tax  regulations  are  subject  to  interpretation  and  establishes  provisions  where 
appropriate. 

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit and loss is recognised outside profit and loss. 
Deferred  tax  items  are  recognised  in  correlation  to  the  underlying  transaction  either  in  other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is 
adjusted against goodwill on acquisition. 

Sales tax 

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

-  Where  the  sales  tax  incurred  on  a  purchase  of  assets  or  services  is  not  recoverable  from  the 
taxation authority, in which case the sale tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of 
the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and 

-  Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included. 

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part 
of receivables or payables in the statements of financial position.

Foreign Currency Translation 

Functional and presentation currency 

The  financial  statements  of  each  entity  in  the  Group  are  measured  using  the  currency  that  best 
reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to each entity 
(the “functional currency”).  The functional currency of the Company is Australian dollar (“A$”). 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Singapore dollar (“SGD” or S$).

Foreign Currency Translation (cont’d) 

Transactions and balances 

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than 
the  entity’s  functional  currency  (foreign  currencies)  are  recognised  at  the  rates  of  exchange 
prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  monetary  items 
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. 

Currency  translation  differences  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at 
the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss, unless they arise from borrowings in foreign 
currencies and other currency instruments designated and qualifying as net investment hedges and 
net  investment  in  foreign  operations.  Those  currency  translation  differences  are  recognised  in  the 
currency translation reserve in the consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss 
as part of the gain or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. 

Non-monetary  items  that  are  measured  in  terms  of  historical  cost  in  a  foreign  currency  are  not 
retranslated. 

Group companies 

The  consolidated  results  and  financial  position  of  foreign  operations  whose  functional  currency  is 
different  from  the  Group’s  presentation  currency  are  translated  into  the  presentation  currency  as 
follows: 

(cid:127) 

(cid:127) 

(cid:127) 

Assets  and  liabilities  for  each  statement  of  financial  position  presented  are  translated  at  the 
closing rate at the date of that statement; 
Income  or  expense  for  each  statements  presenting  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income  (i.e.  including  comparatives)  are  translated  at  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the 
transactions; and 
All  resulting  currency  translation  differences  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income 
and accumulated in the currency translation reserve. 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  foreign  operations  are  transferred  directly  to  the 
Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences 
are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred. 

On  the  disposal  of  a  foreign  operation  (i.e.  a  disposal  of  the  Group’s  entire  interest  in  a  foreign 
operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation 
or loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation), all of the 
accumulated  exchange  differences  in  respect  of  that  operation  attributable  to  the  Group  are 
reclassified to profit or loss. Any exchange differences that have previously been attributed to non-
controlling interests are derecognised, but they are not reclassified to profit or loss.

Construction Contracts and Work in Progress 

When  the  outcome  of  a  construction  contract  can  be  estimated  reliably,  contract  revenue  and 
contract  costs  are  recognised  as  revenue  and  expenses  respectively  by  reference  to  the  stage  of 
completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date (“percentage-of-completion method”). 

The outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably when: 

i. 
ii. 

total contract revenue can be measured reliably; 
it  is  probable  that  the  economic  benefits  associated  with  the  contract  will  flow  to  the 
enterprise; 

iii.  both  the  contract  cost  to  complete  the  contract  and  the  stage  of  contract  completion  at  the 

balance sheet date can be measured reliably; and 

iv.  the contract costs attributable to the contract can be clearly identified and measured reliably 

so that actual contract costs incurred can be compared with prior estimates. 

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should 
be recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable, will be recoverable and 
contract costs should be recognised as an expenses in the period in which they are incurred. 

When  it  is  probable  that  total  contract  costs  will  exceed  total  contract  revenue,  the  expected  loss 
should be recognised as an expense immediately. 

Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and variations in the 
contract  work  and  claims  that  can  be  measured  reliably.  A  variation  or  a  claim  is  recognised  as 
contract  revenue  when  it  is  probable  that  the  customer  will  approve  the  variation  or  negotiations 
have reached an advanced stage such that it is probable that the customer will accept the claim. 

The stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred to date 
to  the  estimated  total  contract  costs  for  the  contract.  Costs  incurred  during  the  financial  year  in 
connection  with  future  activities  on  a  contract  are  excluded  from  costs  incurred  to  date  when 
determining  the  stage  of  completion  of  a  contract.  Such  costs  are  shown  as  construction  contract 
work-in-progress  on  the  balance  sheet  unless  it  is  not  probable  that  such  contract  costs  are 
recoverable from the customers, in which case, such costs are recognised as an expense immediately. 

At  the  balance  sheet  date,  the  aggregated  costs  incurred  to  date  plus  recognised  profit  (less 
recognised  loss)  on  each  contract  is  compared  against  the  progress  billings.  Where  costs  incurred 
plus the recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is presented 
as  due  from  customers  on  construction  contracts  within  “trade  and  other  receivables”.  Where 
progress  billings  exceed costs incurred to date plus  recognised  profits (less recognised  losses), the 
balance is presented as due to customers on construction contracts within “trade and other payables”. 

Progress  billings  for  work  performed  but  not  yet  paid  by  customers  and  retentions  are  included 
within  “trade  and  other  receivables”.  Amounts  received  before  the  related  work  is  performed  are 
included within “trade and other payables”.

Financial Assets 

Classification 

Financial  assets  are  recognised  on  the  statement  of  financial  position  when,  and  only  when,  the 
Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The classification 
depends on the nature of the asset and the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management 
determines  the  classification  of  financial  assets  at  initial  recognition  and  re-evaluates  this 
designation at every reporting date. 

Loans and receivables are non-derivatives financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that 
are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except those maturing later 
than twelve months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and 
receivables  are  presented  as  “trade  and  other  receivables”  and  “cash  and  cash  equivalents”  at  the 
balance sheet date. 

Recognition and Derecognition  

Regular  way  purchase  and  sales  of  financial  assets  are  recognised  on  the  trade-date  –  the  date  on 
which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the 
rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the 
Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. 

On disposal of a financial asset, the difference between the net sale proceeds and its carrying amount 
is recognised in profit or loss.  

Initial and Subsequent Measurement 

Loans  and  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  plus  transaction  costs.  Subsequent  to 
initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method,  less  impairment.  Gains  and  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  when  the  loans  and 
receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.  

Impairment  

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial 
asset  or  a  group  of  financial  assets  is  impaired  and  recognises  an  allowance  for  impairment  when 
such evidence exists. 

Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy, 
and  default  or  significant  delay  in  payments  are  objective  evidence  that  these  financial  assets  are 
impaired.  

The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account 
which is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated 
future  cash  flows  discounted  at  the  original  effective  interest  rate.  When  the  asset  becomes 
uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

Financial Assets (cont’d) 

Impairment (cont’d) 

The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through profit or loss in a subsequent period 
when the amount of impairment loss decreases and the related decrease can be objectively measured. 
The carrying amount of the asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying 
amount does not exceed the amortised cost had no impairment been recognised in prior periods. 

(i) 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term 
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank 
overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial 
position. 

(j) 

Property, Plant and Equipment 

Each class of property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried 
at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 

Property 
Leasehold building is stated on the cost basis and is therefore carried at cost. Such cost includes the 
construction costs and borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation. 

Plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. In the event the carrying amount of plant and 
equipment  is  greater  than  its  estimated  recoverable  amount,  the  carrying  amount  is  written  down 
immediately to its estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses recognised either in profit or 
loss  or  as  a  revaluation  decrease  if  the  impairment  losses  relate  to  a  revalued  asset.  A  formal 
assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 3 
for details of critical judgements of impairment of property, plant and equipment). 

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, 
borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  or  recognised  as  a  separate  asset,  as 
appropriate,  only  when  it  is  probable  that  future  economic  benefits  associated  with  the  item  will 
flow  to  the  Group  and  the  cost  of  the  item  can  be  measured  reliably.  All  other  repairs  and 
maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation 
The  depreciable  amount  of  all  fixed  assets  including  buildings  and  capitalised  leased  assets,  but 
excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life from the 
time  the  asset  is  held  ready  for  use.  Leasehold  improvements  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of 
either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Depreciation (cont’d) 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 
Buildings 
Plant and equipment 
Leased plant and equipment 
Motor vehicles 
Office and IT equipment 

Depreciation Rate 
3% 
5 - 15% 
5 - 15% 
6.67% - 33.33% 
5 - 33.33% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of 
each reporting period. 

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with  the  carrying  amount. 
These gains or losses are included in profit or loss. 

(k) 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets 

Non-financial  assets  are  tested  for  impairment  whenever  there  is  any  objective  evidence  or 
indication that these assets may be impaired. 

At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Group  reviews  the  carrying  amounts  of  its  non-financial 
assets  to  determine  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  those  assets  have  suffered  an  impairment 
loss.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is  estimated  in  order  to 
determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any), on an individual asset. 

Where  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  Group 
estimates  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash-generating  unit  to  which  the  asset  belongs.  Where  a 
reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to 
individual  cash-generating  units,  or  otherwise  they  are  allocated  to  the  smallest  group  of  cash-
generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value 
in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the 
asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

(k) 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (cont’d) 

If  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  asset  (or  cash-generating  unit)  is  estimated  to  be  less  than  its 
carrying  amount,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  (or  cash-generating  unit)  is  reduced  to  its 
recoverable  amount.  The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  and  recoverable  amount  is 
recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. 

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously 
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. 

Where  an  impairment  loss  subsequently  reverses,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  (or  cash-
generating  unit)  is  increased  to  the  revised  estimate  of  its  recoverable  amount,  but  so  that  the 
increased  carrying  amount  does  not  exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been  determined 
had  no  impairment  loss  been  recognised  for  the  asset  (or  cash-generating  unit)  in  prior  years.  A 
reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

(l) 

Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past 
events, for which it is more likely than not that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that 
outflow can be reliably measured. 

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at 
the end of the reporting period. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will 
be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money 
is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the 
risks  specific  to  the  liability.  When  discounting  is  used,  the  increase  in  the  provision  due  to  the 
passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

(m) 

Financial Liability and Equity Instruments Issued by the Group 

Classification as debt or equity 

Debt  and  equity  instruments  are  classified  as  either  financial  liabilities  or  as  equity  in  accordance 
with the substance of the contractual arrangement.  

Financial liabilities 

An entity shall recognise a financial liability on its statement of financial position when, and only 
when, the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.  

Financial liability is recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of a financial liability not at 
fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or 
issue.

Financial Liability and Equity Instruments Issued by the Group (cont’d) 

Financial liabilities (cont’d) 

After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the liabilities 
are derecognised, and through amortisation process. 

Borrowings 

Borrowings  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  and  are  subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on 
an effective yield basis. 

The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating  the  amortised  cost  of  a  financial  liability 
and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, 
or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. 

Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer 
settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 

The  Group  derecognises  financial  liabilities  when,  and  only  when,  the  Group’s  obligations  are 
discharged, cancelled or expired.  

(n) 

Borrowing Costs 

Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of  assets  that 
necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the 
cost of these assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.  
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 

(o) 

Leases 

Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of 
the asset, but not the legal ownership which are transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as 
finance leases. 

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal 
to  the  fair  value  of  the  leased  property  or  the  present  value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments, 
including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the 
lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

(o) 

Leases (cont’d) 

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives 
or the lease term. 

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the 
lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line 
basis over the life of the lease term. 

(p) 

Joint Venture 

The Group’s joint venture is the entity over which the Group has contractual arrangements to jointly 
share the control over the economic activity of the entity with another party. The Group’s interest in 
the joint venture is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. 
On disposal of investment in joint venture, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the investment are recognised in profit or loss. 

(q) 

Employee Benefits 

Defined contribution plans 

The  Group  participates  in  the  national  pension  schemes  as  defined  by  the  laws  of  the  countries  in 
which it has operations. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an 
expense in the period in which the related service is performed. The Group has no further payment 
obligations once the contributions have been paid. 

Provision for employee benefits 

Provisions are made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered 
by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled 
within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. 
Employee  benefits  payable  later  than  one  year  have  been  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the 
estimated  future  cash  outflows  to  be  made  for  those  benefits.  In  determining  the  liability, 
consideration  is  given  to  employee  wage  increases  and  the  probability  that  the  employee  may  not 
satisfy  vesting  requirements.  Those  cash  flows  are  discounted  using  the  market  yields  on  national 
government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.  

(r) 

Segment Reporting 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the 
executive  committee  whose  members  are  responsible  for  allocating  resources  and  assessing 
performance of the operating segments.

Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty 

Estimates,  assumptions  and  judgements  are  made  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements.  
Management  continually  evaluates  its  judgements  and  estimates  in  relation  to  assets,  liabilities, 
income  and  expenses,  and  disclosures  made.  They  are  assessed  continually  based  on  historical 
experience and on other various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material  adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: 

(a) 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions 

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment 

The useful lives of assets have been based on historical experience, lease terms and best available 
information for similar items in the industry. These estimations will affect the depreciation expense 
recognised  in  the  financial  year.  There  is  no  change  in  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  plant  and 
equipment during the year. The carrying amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as at  
30 June 2013 was S$75,037,000 (2012: S$55,885,000) (Note 14). A 10% difference in the expected 
useful  lives  of  these  assets  from  management’s  estimate  would  result  in  an  approximately 
S$517,000 (2012: S$416,000) variance in the Group’s profit before tax. 

Determination of percentage of completion on construction contracts 

Contract  revenue  is  recognised  as  revenue  in  profit  or  loss  using  the  percentage  of  completion 
method  in  the  reporting  periods  in  which  the  work  is  performed.  The  stage  of  completion  is 
measured by reference to the contract costs incurred to date compared to the estimated total costs for 
the contract or on the basis of value of work completed. 

Construction  contract  accounting  requires  that  variations,  claims  and  incentive  payments  only  be 
recognised  as  contract  revenue  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  they  will  be  accepted  by  the 
customer.  As  the  approval  process  takes  some  time,  judgement  is  required  to  be  made  of  its 
probability and revenue recognised accordingly. The aggregate costs incurred plus recognised profit 
less recognised losses to date, progress billings, retentions on construction contracts and due from/to 
the customers are disclosed in Notes 10 and 18. 

Deferred tax assets 

The  Group  recognises  deferred  tax  assets  on  carried  forward  tax  losses  to  the  extent  there  are 
sufficient estimated future taxable profits and/or taxable temporary differences against which the tax 
losses can be utilised and that the Group is able to satisfy the continuing ownership test. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are S$4,383,000 (2012: S$2,470,000).

(b) 

Critical Judgements in Applying the Group’s Accounting Policies 

In  the  process  of  applying  the  Group’s  accounting  policies,  management  has  made  the  following 
judgement, apart from those involving estimations, which have a significant effect on the amounts 
recognised in the financial statements: 

Allowance for impairment of receivables 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial 
asset  is  impaired.  To  determine  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  of  impairment,  the  Group 
considers  factors  such  as  the  probability  of  insolvency  or  significant  financial  difficulties  of  the 
debtor  and  default  or  significant  delay  in  the  payment.  The  directors  exercise  their  judgement  in 
making  allowances  for  receivables.  A  specific  allowance  for  impairment  of  receivables  is  made  if 
the receivables are not collectible. The factors considered in making allowances are payment history, 
past due status and trading terms.  

No  impairment  loss  on  trade  and  other  receivables  were  recorded  for  the  financial  years  ended  30 
June 2013 and 2012. 

The  carrying  value  of  the  Group’s  trade  and  other  receivables  as  at  30  June  2013  and  2012  is 
S$89,873,000 and S$86,620,000, respectively. 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment 

The  Group  assesses  impairment  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  at  each  year  end  by  evaluating 
conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Adjustments will be made 
when considered necessary. 

Impairment  assessment  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  includes  considering  certain  indications 
such as significant changes in asset usage, significant decline in assets’ market value, obsolescence 
or physical damage of an asset, significant under performance relative to the expected historical or 
future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. 

No impairment loss on property, plant and equipment were recorded for the financial years ended 30 
June 2013 and 2012. 

The  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  at  30  June  2013  is  S$75,037,000  (2012: 
S$55,885,000).

Critical Judgements in Applying the Group’s Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Impairment of investment in subsidiaries 

The  Company  assesses  annually  whether  its  unquoted  equity  investments  have  any  indication  of 
impairment in accordance with the accounting policy. The carrying amount of the unquoted equity 
investments has been determined based on the estimated future profitability and the financial health 
of the investees and near-term business outlook for the investees, including factors such as industry 
and  sector  performance,  and  operational  and  financing  cash  flow  which  requires  the  use  of 
judgement. 

No impairment loss was recorded for the financial years ended 30 June 2013 and 2012. 

The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in subsidiaries as at 30 June 2013 is S$8,769,000 
(2012: S$9,792,000).

  Income Tax Expense (cont’d) 

Unrecognised temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries 

At the end of the reporting period, no deferred tax liability (2012: Nil) has been recognised for taxes 
that  would  be  payable  on  the  undistributed  earnings  of  certain  of  the  Group’s  subsidiaries  as  the 
Group  has  determined  that  undistributed  earnings  of  its  subsidiaries  will  not  be  distributed  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

Such  temporary  differences  for  which  no  deferred  tax  liability  has  been  recognised  aggregate  to 
S$797,959  (2012:  S$891,058).  The  deferred  tax  liability  is  estimated  to  be  S$239,388  (2012: 
S$267,317). 

Tax consequences of proposed dividends 

There  are  no  income  tax  consequences  (2012:  Nil)  attached  to  the  dividends  to  the  shareholders 
proposed by the Company but not recognised as a liability in the financial statements (Note 28 (b)).

Earnings per Share 

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  Group’s  net  profit  attributable  to  ordinary 
equity holders for the financial year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued.

Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  net  profit  attributable  to  the  owners  of  the 
Company  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  during  the  year  plus  the  weighted 
average  number  of  ordinary  shares  that  would  be  in  issue  on  the  conversion  of  all  the  dilutive 
potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. As there is no dilutive potential ordinary shares, the 
diluted earnings per share is the same as the basic earnings per share.

Goodwill arose from the excess of the consideration paid for a business acquired from a third party.  
Goodwill has been allocated to the cash-generating unit, Mining and Others division. 

Management is of the opinion that the recoverable amount will exceed the carrying amount on the 
basis  that  this  cash  generating  unit  has  been  generating  profit  since  acquisition  and  management 
forecasts  the  results  of  this  subsidiary  to  be  in  a  net  profit  position  for  the  financial  year  ending  
30  June  2014.  In  arriving  at  this  assessment,  management  has  determined  the  recoverable  amount 
using  a  two  year  forecasting  process  based  on  the  current  order  book,  projected  orders  and  a 
consumer price index (“CPI”) factor of 1.2% per annum on direct costs and overhead costs.

Financial Information by Segments 

Management  has  determined  the  operating  segments  based  on  the  internal  reports  which  are 
regularly reviewed by the Operations Management that are used to make strategic decisions. 

The Operations Management comprises of the Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief 
Operations  Officer,  Chief  Financial  Officer,  Finance  Manager  and  the  department  heads  of  each 
operating segment. 

The  business  is  managed  primarily  on  the  basis  of  different  products  and  services  as  the 
diversification  of  the  Group’s  operations  inherently  have  notably  different  risk  profiles  and 
performance assessment criteria. 

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are 
considered  to  have  similar  economic  characteristics  and  are  also  similar  with  respect  to  the 
following: 

(cid:127) 
(cid:127) 
(cid:127) 
(cid:127) 
(cid:127) 

the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;

Financial Information by Segments (cont’d) 

The two main reportable segments for the Group are: (1) Oil and Gas (2) Mining and Others. The 
business  activities  include  civil  construction,  fabrication,  precast  concrete,  SMP  (Structural, 
Mechanical and Piping Erection), insulation, maintenance and plant hire. 

Basis of Accounting for Purposes of Reporting by Operating Segments 

(a) 

Accounting policies adopted 

Unless  stated  otherwise,  all  amounts  reported  to  the  Board  of  Directors,  being  the  chief  decision 
makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies 
that are consistent to those adopted in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. 

(b) 

Inter-segment transactions 

An  internally  determined  transfer  price  is  set  for  all  inter-segment  sales.  This  price  is  reviewed 
quarterly and is based on what would be realised in the event the sale was made to an external party 
at  arm’s  length.  All  such  transactions  are  eliminated  on  consolidation  of  the  Group’s  financial 
statements. 

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to 
be received net of transaction costs. 

(c) 

Segment assets and liabilities 

The Group does not identify nor segregate its assets and liabilities in operating segments as these are 
managed on a “group basis”. 

Geographical Segments (Secondary Reporting) 

The Group operates within Australia. 

Major Customers 

The Group has a number of customers to whom it provides both products and services. For the year 
ended 30 June 2013, the Group supplies to a single external customer in Mining & Others segment 
who accounts for 35% of external revenue (2012: 45%). The next most significant client accounts 
for 22% and 20% (2012: 20% and 18% respectively) of external revenue.

Financial Risk Management 

The Group’s and the Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, 
accounts  receivable  and  payable,  borrowings  and  finance  lease  liabilities.  The  key  financial  risks 
include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 

(a) 

Market risk 

Interest rate risk 

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end 
of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the 
fair  value  of  fixed  rate  financial  instruments.  The  Group  is  also  exposed  to  earnings  volatility  on 
floating rate instruments. 

Interest  rate  risk  is  managed  using  a  mix  of  fixed  and  floating  rate  debt.  At  30  June  2013, 
approximately 60% (2012: 100%) of the Group’s debt is fixed. The Group’s borrowings at variable 
rates are denominated mainly in AUD. If the AUD interest rates increase/decrease by 1% (2012: Nil) 
with  all  other  variables  remain  constant,  the  Group’s  profit  before  tax  will  be  approximately 
lower/higher  by  S$119,000  (2012:  Nil)  as  a  result  of  higher/lower  interest  expenses  on  these 
borrowings. 

The  Group  and  the  Company  has  cash  balances  placed  with  reputable  banks  and  financial 
institutions.  Such  balances  are  placed  on  varying  maturities  and  generate  interest  income  for  the 
Group and the Company. 

The  Group  obtains  additional  financing  through  bank  borrowings  and  leasing  arrangements. 
Information  relating  to  the  Group’s  interest  rate  exposure  is  also  disclosed  in  the  notes  on  the 
Group’s borrowings and leasing obligations. They are both fixed and floating rates of interest. The 
policy is to retain flexibility in selecting borrowings at both fixed and floating rates interest.

Financial Risk Management (cont’d) 

(a)  Market risk (cont’d) 

Foreign Currency Risk 

There is no significant exchange rate risk as substantially all financial assets and financial liabilities 
are denominated in Australian Dollar, which is the functional currency of the Company and of each 
entity in the Group. Accordingly, the sensitivity analysis to currency risk exposure is not disclosed 
as management is of the view that this is not significant. 

Credit Risk 

Exposure  to  credit  risk  relating  to  financial  assets  arises  from  the  potential  non-performance  by 
counterparties  of  contractual  obligations  that  could  lead  to  a  financial  loss  to  the  Group  and  the 
Company. 

Credit  risk  is  managed  through  maintaining  procedures  ensuring,  to  the  extent  possible,  that 
customers  and  counterparties  to  transactions  are  of  sound  credit  worthiness  and  includes  the 
utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, the regular monitoring 
of exposures against such limits and the monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers 
and  counterparties.  Such  monitoring  is  used  in  assessing  receivables  for  impairment.  Such 
monitoring  is  used  in  assessing  receivables  for  impairment.  Depending  on  the  division  within  the 
Group and the Company, credit terms are generally 30 days from the date of invoice. 

The  Group  has  a  concentration  of  credit  risk  with  one  counterparty  accounting  for  46%  of  trade 
receivables  as  at  30  June  2013  (2012:  56%).  The  main  source  of  credit  risk  to  the  Group  is 
considered to relate to the class of assets described as “Trade and other receivables”. 

The  following  table  details  the  Group’s  and  Company’s  trade  and  other  receivables  exposed  to 
credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment 
provided  for  thereon.  Amounts  are  considered  as  “past  due”  when  the  debt  has  not  been  settled 
within  the  terms  and  conditions  agreed  between  the  Group and  the  Company  and  the  customer  or 
counterparty  to  the  transaction.  Receivables  that  are  past  due  are  assessed  for  impairment  by 
ascertaining  solvency  of  the  debtors  and  are  provided  for  where  there  are  specific  circumstances 
indicating that the debt may not be fully paid to the Group and the Company.

The Group and the Company did not hold any financial assets whose terms have been renegotiated, 
but which would otherwise be past due or impaired. 

The Group and the Company believe that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 30 
days  are  still  collectible  based  on  historic  payment  behaviour  and  extensive  analyses  of  customer 
credit  risk,  including  underlying  customers’  credit  ratings,  when  available.  Based  on  the  Group’s 
and the Company’s monitoring of customer credit risk, the Group  and the Company believes that, 
apart from the above, no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of receivables not past due or 
past due by 30 days and above.

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  and  the  Company  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting  its 
commitments  concerning  its  financial  liabilities.  The  Group  and  the  Company  manages  this  risk 
through the following mechanism: 

(cid:127) 

Preparing  forward-looking  cash  flow  analysis  in  relation  to  its  operational,  investing  and 

financing activities; 

(cid:127)  Monitoring undrawn credit facilities; 
(cid:127)  Maintaining credit risk related to financial assets; 
(cid:127)  Obtaining funding from a variety of sources; 
(cid:127)  Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and 
(cid:127)  Comparing  the  maturity  profile  of  financial  liabilities  with  the  realization  profile  of  financial 

assets. 

The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Bank 
overdrafts  have  been  deducted  in  the  analysis  as  management  does  not  consider  that  there  is  any 
material risk that the bank will terminate such facilities. The bank does however maintain the right 
to terminate the facilities without notice and therefore the balances of overdrafts outstanding at year 
end could become repayable within 12 months. Financial guarantee liabilities are treated as payable 
on  demand  since  the  Group  and  the  Company  has  no  control  over  the  timing  of  any  potential 
settlement of the liability. 

Cash  flows  realised  from  financial  assets  reflect  management’s  expectation  as  to  the  timing  of 
realisation.  Actual  timing  may  therefore  differ  from  that  disclosed.  The  timing  of  cash  flows 
presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates and 
do  not  reflect  management’s  expectations  that  banking  facilities  will  be  rolled  forward.  Balances 
due within 12 months equal their carrying amount as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Capital Management 

Management  controls  the  capital  of  the  Group  in  order  to  maintain  a  good  debt-to-equity  ratio, 
provide the shareholders with adequate returns and to ensure that the Group can fund its operations 
and continue as a going concern. 

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by 
financial assets. 

The Group and the Company have no externally imposed capital requirements. 

Management  effectively  manages  the  Group’s  capital  by  assessing  the  Group’s  financial  risks  and 
adjusting  its  capital  structure  in  response  to  changes  in  these  risks  and  in  the  market.  These 
responses include the management of debt levels, distribution to shareholders and share issues. 

The net debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net debt is calculated as 
total financial liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. 

Fair Value Estimation 

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities can be compared to their carrying values 
as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset 
could be exchanged, or liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length 
transaction. 

Fair  values  derived  may  be  based  on  information  that  is  estimated  or  subject  to  judgement,  where 
changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgement 
and the assumptions have been detailed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. 

The fair value of current financial assets and financial liabilities approximate the carrying value due 
to  the  liquid  nature  of  these  assets  and  /  or  the  short  term  nature  of  these  financial  rights  and 
obligations.
