Having finished FY2017 positively, with a strong order book and significant pipeline of opportunities, this set the foundation for success in the 2018 financial year (FY2018), delivering our biggest revenue to-date, more than double that of the previous year. This result is a testament to the commitment of our people in strategically pursuing and winning new work, particularly Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts, and the specialist capability of our people in delivering these works. Given we are an Australian company, with all of our operating activities and current primary growth prospects in Australia, the decision was made by the Board to seek dual listing on both the Singapore Exchange (SGX), on which we have been listed since 2012, and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This dual listing was achieved in June 2018 and we believe it will provide a number of material benefits, including: • • • increasing Civmec’s profile in the Australian market, with the potential for greater analyst coverage and media opportunities; exposing Civmec to the substantial pool of funds available for investment in Australia; and facilitating investment and significantly broadening Civmec’s shareholder base, whilst also building on the foundations and strong support we have received from investors in Singapore. The Board endorses the dual listing as a positive step for our current Singaporean and future Australian investors. We value our existing shareholders, whose support has been instrumental in building the company to where it is today, and believe that the dual listing provides us with an additional platform to further grow market profile and investment opportunities. 12 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT We will continue to expand the reach of our core capabilities in the fabrication, supply and installation of steel and precast concrete, particularly focusing on the opportunity presented by the significant investment in transport infrastructure (road and rail) over the next decade on the east coast, leveraging the local capability we have now established with our Newcastle facility. The strength of our Balance Sheet continues to facilitate growth, and our focus on winning the right work and delivering well, will continue to drive shareholder returns in the coming years. On behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate all employees on the excellent results achieved over the past 12 months. It is your commitment, passion, energy and determination that has made this possible. To our loyal shareholders, your confidence in our business and faith in our vision has enabled us to realise success and continue to grow. Yours sincerely James Fitzgerald Executive Chairman Civmec Limited FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Sales revenue for FY2018 was S$738.7 million, more than double the FY2017 result (S$345.9 million), reflecting the transition from winning substantial new work in FY2017 to delivery in FY2018. Net Profit after Tax for FY2018 amounted to S$25.5 million, again substantially up from the S$8.2 million in 2017 (an increase of more than 200%). The company’s Balance Sheet remains strong, with a net asset position of S$188.2 million, underpinned by our significant investment in property, plant and equipment and cash balance of S$23.6 million at year-end. DIVIDENDS The Board of Directors has recommended a cash dividend of S$0.7 cents per share, subject to shareholders’ approval at our Annual General Meeting on 25 October 2018. The full year dividend payment represents a 13.7% payout ratio. Future dividends paid will continue to be reviewed in line with trading conditions, requirements for cash and investment opportunities. The dividend will be paid on 13 December 2018. OUR PEOPLE We are proud to be a significant employer of talented people across Australia. Our number of direct employees grew by nearly 1,000 people over the year, taking us to a record high of more than 2,500. The growth of our business and size and complexity of the projects we are now delivering has enabled us to provide sustainable careers for our people, developing and retaining a vast pool of specialist capability. The launch of our inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in November 2017 represents a significant step towards building positive, sustainable relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) people and their communities. In the coming year we will continue to deliver on the actions outlined in the RAP to facilitate employment, training and commercial partnership opportunities for ATSI people and organisations. Our Never Assume initiative continues to drive our safety culture, built on the premise that we all look out for ourselves and those around us. STRATEGY & FUTURE FOCUS Going forward, our focus will continue to be on securing direct contracts, including under EPC, Design & Construct (D&C), Alliance and other delivery models, in addition to further developing our vertically integrated model and self- performance capability to support the delivery of major projects across Australia, within the Oil & Gas, Metals & Minerals and Infrastructure sectors. We will continue to provide cost-effective, intelligent engineering solutions for our clients, whilst maintaining a disciplined approach to capital and overhead management to maximise our shareholders’ returns. Our substantial investment in the construction of the state-of-the- art shipbuilding and maintenance facility in Henderson will deliver a new world-class resource to the Australian maritime landscape and significantly enhance the capability available at the Australian Marine Complex in Western Australia. The Australian Government has identified Henderson as one of two suitable locations in Australia for the continuous build of naval ships and vessel maintenance, and it is on this basis, along with increasing capacity to support our traditional operating sectors, that we are investing in the new facility. This investment therefore plays a major role in the company’s long-term future, enabling us to align with and support the Australian Government’s Defence Integrated Investment Program, which considers the investment requirement to the mid-2020’s to build Australia’s future Defence capabilities. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT 13 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT With significant new contracts awarded and extended in FY2017, the emphasis for FY2018 has been on delivery, focusing on the fundamental metrics of safety, quality, time and cost. Working with our clients and delivery partners to drive sustainable, long-term partnerships, we have been agile and innovative, showcasing our broad expertise and self-performance capability. On the strength of these partnerships and our performance, we were awarded significant contract extensions during the year. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE The value of new projects and contract extensions awarded in FY2018 was S$800 million. This included award of the contract for the Royal Australian Navy’s SEA 1180 Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) program and new contracts and additional scope in Oil & Gas (S$135m), Metals & Minerals, including maintenance and specialist refractory works (S$174m), and Infrastructure, including in the Water & Energy segment (S$85m). This translated to S$716m secured on the west coast of Australia and S$83m secured on the east coast. Our capacity to deliver projects as an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor is now firmly established with the ongoing delivery of the process plant and non-process infrastructure for the Gruyere Gold project, in joint venture with Wood Group; the expansion of the Pinjarra Alumina Refinery for Alcoa Australia; and the Woodman Point Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade, under an alliance with Water Corporation and Black & Veatch. 14 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT The design and construction of this upgrade project positions us well to pursue future opportunities to deliver specialised infrastructure projects in the Water & Energy segment. Our east coast operations have matured over the past 12 months, with our local capability supporting the delivery of a number of significant road and rail projects that are transforming transport connections in and around Sydney, including the fabrication, supply and installation of steel and precast concrete for the Sydney Metro Northwest, Sydney Light Rail and WestConnex projects. Our specialist precast capability is an integral element in the delivery of the new Grafton Correctional Centre in Grafton, New South Wales, with the establishment of our transportable precast facility onsite supporting the production of more than 600 precast cells from purpose-made moulds. In Western Australia, we were thrilled to be given the opportunity to extend our relationship with the new Perth Stadium precinct. In an alliance with Main Roads WA, the York-Rizzani JV and Civmec, we were given the task to deliver the complex steel fabrication, painting and transportation of the arches and decks for the Matagarup Bridge, which provides an essential pedestrian link between the stadium and East Perth. This is an iconic structure for Perth and demonstrates the capability, quality and overall value of local fabrication in Australia. Our long-term maintenance contracts continue to build solid client relationships, and with an ever increasing client and resource base, we see many future opportunities for this area of the business. Our delivery performance has been supported by a number of system and process improvements initiated in the past year, including the further integration of Civtrac, our operational management system, to include our new customer relationship management (CRM) platform, our primary business development tool for identifying and tracking opportunities, managing stakeholder relationships and winning new work. The next iteration of the integrated Civtrac system will be the inclusion later in 2018 of Civtrac People, our new HR system that will facilitate the management and development of our people and support project launch through streamlined mobilisation. OUR PEOPLE Our business is built on people. The diverse skillset of our talented employees enables us to provide our clients and partners with specialist capability across our key operating sectors. We are committed to providing our people with sustainable career pathways that enable them to grow a career with Civmec. Often, this starts from the very beginning, with more than 50 apprentices and trainees working in our business today, demonstrating our commitment to developing the industry’s next generation. During FY2018 we directly employed some 2,500 people, with an additional 900 people employed as a result of our activities. This represents the biggest workforce we have ever had and reflects the significant growth we have achieved in terms of complexity and scale of projects now in delivery. In April, while working on the previously referenced Woodman Point Wastewater Treatment Plant alliance project, we were devastated by the loss of one of the team members through an industrial accident. This fatality has further reinforced our absolute commitment to managing critical risks in the workplace and further developing our strong leadership and safety culture through our Never Assume initiative. STRATEGY & FUTURE FOCUS Our diversification strategy will see us develop capability to support the Marine & Defence sector, having made a significant commitment and investment in the development of our Henderson facility, with the construction of a state-of-the-art shipbuilding and maintenance facility designed to be one of the most efficient and innovative in the world. Our entry into this new sector will enable us to unlock the value of local steel shipbuilding, whilst focusing on building a sustainable, competitive export industry over time. Award of the Royal Australian Navy’s Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) program, in contract with Luerssen Australia, represents a significant step forward in establishing our capability in this sector. Importantly, when in full production, this sector will provide jobs for an additional 1,000 West Australians, including 100 new apprentices and trainees. We will continue to seek and evaluate new opportunities across our key sectors, predominately in Australia, but also keeping an open view on international opportunities that may fit our business, and consider further opportunities to diversify into new sectors where there is a symbiotic connection with our capacity and capability. Our culture, the way we think and operate, is underpinned by our principles and values. Our commitment to achieving our targets; our focus on continual improvement and innovation; our performance driven attitude and pursuit of excellence; our confidence to influence and challenge; and our commitment to working together collaboratively with our people, partners and clients, guides our future success. Yours sincerely Patrick Tallon Chief Executive Officer Civmec Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT 15 Amrun Project reclaimer leaving Henderson WA for Weipa, QLD OUR OPERATING SECTORS OIL & GAS METALS & MINERALS INFRASTRUCTURE MARINE & DEFENCE ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I OUR OPERATING SECTORS 17 02OIL & GAS Annual revenue S$144 million S$135 million in new contract awards and extensions Gorgon LNG Project, Greater Gorgon Gas Fields, Western Australia 18 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I OIL & GAS Our success in the Oil & Gas sector has been built on the establishment of sustainable relationships with key partners. An example of this is our ongoing contribution to the Ichthys LNG Project, for which we have undertaken various scopes since 2014, resulting in a direct contract with JKC Australia (Ichthys LNG Onshore Plant Construction Contractor) for delivery of the civil works for the project’s onshore Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP). Our association with the Gorgon LNG Project over the past few years is continuing, in the ongoing fabrication of piping and structural steel for the plant. As major Oil & Gas projects in the north-west, including Chevron’s Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG projects, have moved from construction to production, the opportunity for new major capex construction work of the scale of the preceding years in this sector is limited. The market suggests that there is however an appetite for the further development and expansion of existing plants and associated infrastructure in the short-to-medium term. Our current client relationships and proven ability to deliver in remote, highly challenging environments, providing innovative logistical solutions to enable the fundamental project metrics of time and cost to be achieved, ensures we are well positioned to capitalise on these new opportunities with established partners as they come to market. 48 SECTOR PROJECTS IN DELIVERY during FY2018 167% INCREASE in sector revenue FY2018 compared to FY2017 PHILLIP CREEK GAS TREATMENT AND COMPRESSOR STATION (NORTHERN GAS PIPELINE) CLIENT Jemena LOCATION Tennant Creek, NT DURATION August 2017 – October 2018 OVERVIEW Construction of the Phillip Creek Gas Treatment and Compressor Station, as part of the Northern Gas Pipeline project in the Northern Territory. The scope of work includes construction of the 240-bed camp; site civil and earthworks; fabrication; Structural, Mechanical, Piping, Electrical and Instrumentation (SMPEI) installation works; and insulation. The remote location of this project has provided significant logistical challenges in delivery. When complete, the 622 kilometre gas pipeline will link Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory with Mount Isa in Queensland, unlocking the next phase of economic growth for the NT. GORGON LNG PROJECT CLIENT Chevron LOCATION Barrow Island, WA DURATION January 2011 – current OVERVIEW Following the delivery of site civil works, precast and structural steel fabrication for the construction of the Gorgon LNG Project commencing in 2011, Civmec has continued to service the project with the ongoing fabrication of piping and structural steel for the plant. Gorgon is one of the world’s largest LNG projects and the largest single resource project in Australia’s history. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I OIL & GAS 19 METALS & MINERALS Annual revenue S$451 million S$174 million in new contract awards and extensions Gruyere Gold Project, Western Australia Our vertically integrated model continues to support the delivery of projects for key clients in the Metals & Minerals sector. The ability to provide a full turnkey solution for clients has seen us engaged in ongoing works for Rio Tinto’s Amrun project and the delivery of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts for the Gruyere Gold project with joint venture partner Wood Group and the expansion of the Pinjarra Alumina Refinery for Alcoa Australia. With Western Australia expected to soon produce more than half of the world’s lithium supply, the delivery of infrastructure to support lithium mining is an emerging opportunity that we have capitalised on over the past 12 months. This includes the delivery of Altura Mining’s new ‘fast track’ lithium processing facility at Pilgangoora in the Pilbara. Further leveraging the capability of our team of experienced refractory specialists, we have also been awarded the full refractory supply package for the design, supply and installation of over 750 tonnes of refractory materials for the new Lithium Hydroxide Processing Plant (LHPP) project to be constructed in Kwinana, Western Australia for Tianqi Lithium Australia. Our ability to provide reliable and competitive maintenance and shutdown support as a single, multi-disciplinary solution across the spectrum of services is continuing to grow. Working with our clients to optimise operations, whilst minimising the impact of maintenance works on ongoing operations, our capability extends to major and modular shutdowns; sustaining capital works; optimisation and equipment upgrade projects; minor works; emergency repair and replacement; and routine maintenance. We will continue to cultivate this area of the business going forward, as we further develop partnerships with our resource clients. Our long-standing, collaborative relationships in the planning and delivery of construction projects for key partners has led to opportunities to provide ongoing maintenance services for these clients, such as Alcoa, Roy Hill, BHP, Rio Tinto and FMG. 20 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I METALS & MINERALS AMRUN PROJECT CLIENT Rio Tinto and Sandvik Mining and Construction (separate contracts) LOCATION Weipa, North Queensland DURATION January 2017 – October 2018 OVERVIEW Civmec was awarded two significant contracts for the development of a processing facility for Rio Tinto’s Amrun project.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I METALS & MINERALS 23 INFRASTRUCTURE Annual revenue S$144 million S$85 million in new contract awards and extensions Optus Stadium, Western Australia Opportunities in the infrastructure sector continue to grow. Capitalising on the opportunities presented by the significant investment in road and rail infrastructure projects on the east coast, Civmec has played an integral role in the successful delivery of key components for projects that are transforming transport connectivity around Australia’s biggest city, including the Sydney Metro Northwest, Sydney Light Rail and WestConnex projects. Supported by our Newcastle facility, we provided these highly complex projects with specialist capability in the fabrication, supply and installation of steel and precast concrete. Our work at the new Grafton Correctional Centre has seen us establish an onsite precast facility to enable the efficient production of more than 600 precast cells from purpose- made precast moulds. These projects have enabled us to develop significant local capability on the east coast, and with our Newcastle facility now well established, we are in a strong position to leverage this experience to secure ongoing opportunities in the supply of fabricated steel and precast concrete to the major infrastructure projects planned and in delivery in New South Wales. In Western Australia, subsequent to our role in the successful supply and erection of key elements for the iconic new stadium, including the structural frame and roof trusses and various precast elements including the installation of the precast seating platforms, Civmec was awarded the fabrication of Matagarup Bridge, linking the stadium with East Perth. We were also an integral partner in the delivery of the Narellan Road Bridge in Campbelltown and the Nepean River Bridge between Penrith and Emu Plains, in Sydney. The Nepean River Bridge is a highly complex structure consisting of over 820 tonnes of tubular truss sections and has the largest uninterrupted span of any pedestrian bridge in Australia, at 200m long. 24 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I INFRASTRUCTURE Going forward in the Infrastructure sector, in addition to supplying fabricated steel and precast concrete to major projects, we will focus on the specific opportunities to deliver complex, specialised projects in the Water & Energy segment, capitalising on our experience in the delivery of the Woodman Point Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade. MATAGARUP BRIDGE CLIENT Government of Western Australia LOCATION Perth, WA DURATION September 2017 – March 2018 (fabrication completed) OVERVIEW As a member of the Swan River Bridge Alliance, Civmec’s significant specialist expertise was employed to undertake the steel fabrication, painting and transportation of the bridge’s arches and decks, working collaboratively to enable the bridge to be completed within an extremely challenging delivery timeframe. NEPEAN RIVER BRIDGE CLIENT Seymour Whyte LOCATION Penrith, NSW DURATION June 2016 – February 2018 OVERVIEW The largest uninterrupted single span pedestrian bridge in Australia, the Nepean River Bridge provided us with the opportunity to showcase our ingenuity and ability to deliver innovative solutions. Our scope of work included the fabrication, off-site trial assembly, delivery and site assembly of the 200 metre long bridge. We undertook the assembly of the final bridge structure in a purpose-built 65 metre long workshop on site, complete with two 20 tonne gantry cranes. The complexity of the onsite assembly also required the fabrication and installation of engineered temporary collapsible access platforms. The bridge provides a safe crossing for pedestrians and cyclists over the Nepean River and improves connections to existing and future shared paths, including the Great River Walk.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I INFRASTRUCTURE 27 MARINE & DEFENCE Luerssen Offshore Patrol Vessel Blast and Paint Facility currently under construction, Henderson, Western Australia STRATEGY The opportunity to diversify into the Marine & Defence sector aligns with our strategy to further develop and expand our core capabilities. Having strategically positioned the business to participate in the Australian Government’s Defence Integrated Investment Program, we committed to the construction of a state-of-the-art shipbuilding and maintenance facility using the increased land area secured at the Henderson waterfront precinct. Our entry into this new sector will enable us to unlock the value of local steel shipbuilding whilst building a competitive export industry. We will also target Defence estate development opportunities aligned with our capabilities as they come to market. NEW FACILITY Designed to be one of the most efficient and innovative in the world, the new facility is a significant piece of industrial infrastructure, adding a new world-class resource to the Australian maritime landscape and significantly enhancing the capability available at the Australian Marine Complex in Western Australia. Our investment in the new facility aligns with the Australian Government’s identification of Henderson as one of two suitable locations in Australia for the continuous build of naval ships and vessel maintenance. The 53,000 sqm (gross), 18-storey high, purpose-built ship and module construction, ship repair and maintenance facility will be the largest undercover modularisation and maintenance facility in Australia. It will be large enough to house complete Air Warfare Destroyers or Frigates and Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV), for construction or maintenance, as well as large integrated modules for the Oil & Gas and Metals & Minerals sectors. We commenced construction in April 2017, with completion expected during Q4 2019. When fully operational, the facility will provide employment opportunities for up to an additional 1,000 West Australians, including 100 new apprentices and trainees. 28 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I MARINE & DEFENCE AWARD OF OPV PROGRAM In April 2018, Luerssen Australia awarded Civmec the contract for the Royal Australian Navy’s SEA 1180 Offshore Patrol Vessel program. The project includes the supply and processing of steel for 12 vessels. Following the build of the first two vessels in South Australia, we will undertake specific fabrication and construction activities for the following 10 vessels. Final consolidation of these vessels will be undertaken in our new shipbuilding facility. FORMATION OF AMSEG Civmec has partnered with Luerssen to form a new company, Australian Maritime Shipbuilding and Export Group (AMSEG). It will combine our specialist steel manufacturing capability and infrastructure with the shipbuilding and design expertise of Luerssen, to develop a new world-class sovereign shipbuilding capability for Australia. The intention is for AMSEG to serve as a subcontractor to Luerssen in the delivery of the OPV program, ultimately enabling Civmec to perform a larger scope of work. Leveraging the OPV contract as a catalyst, AMSEG will invest in skills and transfer of knowledge to local subcontractors and suppliers, contributing to building a competitive Australian shipbuilding industry and supply chain that can export to the global market. The new company, 49% owned by Civmec and 51% owned by Luerssen Australia, will be chaired by former Chief of the Royal Australian Navy and former Chairman of major shipbuilder ASC Shipbuilding, Vice Admiral (retired) Chris Ritchie.

Endorsement of the RAP represents a significant step towards building positive, sustainable relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their communities. The RAP, driven by our RAP Working Group, identifies practical actions based on the three pillars of Relationships, Respect and Opportunities. Its intent is to provide employment, training and commercial partnership opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, businesses and community organisations and to develop a better understanding of cross-cultural sensitivities to improve relationships across the organisation, through participation in events including National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week. As a testament to our commitment to the RAP, approximately 15% of our current apprentices, including two females, are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent. Furthermore, we have engaged Aboriginal subcontractors during the year on projects in Western Australia, including the Pilgangoora Lithium project in the Pilbara and the Gruyere Gold project in the Goldfields. Civmec became a member of Supply Nation during the year, to further develop our supplier diversity footprint and incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses into our supply chain. Supply Nation connects Australian buyers with verified Indigenous businesses to build a prosperous, vibrant and sustainable Indigenous enterprise sector.

Therefore, our focus over the past 12 months has been at the grass-roots level, encouraging female apprentices to grow their career with us. This strategy has been successful, with three female apprentices now in the business. Going forward, we will continue to identify and support suitable candidates to join us in trade and operations roles onsite and in our fabrication facilities. We are committed to driving gender diversity in the workplace and facilitating an environment that is fair and inclusive for all employees.

It is this diversity that has challenged us to adapt, innovate and implement the appropriate environmental management controls to meet relevant industry requirements, our planned activities and each project’s unique environmental compliance requirements, with the common goal of mitigating environmental harm. In addition to our project sites, we continue to implement environmental best-practice at our two main fabrication and assembly facilities in Perth and Newcastle. Along with our traditional and established controls, we continue to seek new opportunities to improve our environmental performance, focused on resource and energy efficiency through: • • • reducing supplier packaging and improving recycling rates, in turn reducing waste going to landfill; investigating the feasibility of investing in renewable energy; and continuing to measure and monitor our inputs (energy, water and materials) and outputs (waste and emissions), allowing us to understand our current impacts on the environment and monitor performance over time. The past year has seen further success in strengthening our Environmental Management System (EMS) through internal compliance and auditing, and our environmental training and awareness programs. Further to this, we have successfully transitioned to the latest ISO 1400:2015 EMS accreditation with Lloyd’s Register, also achieving platinum status with the Australian Steel Institute Environmental Sustainability Charter. With the upcoming release of our inaugural Sustainability Report in late 2018, we look forward to the next 12 months of continuous improvement in our environmental management performance and compliance.

On behalf of the Board of Directors James Finbarr Fitzgerald Executive Chairman Singapore 28 August 2018 Patrick John Tallon Executive Director ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 51 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 INTRODUCTION The Board of Directors (the ‘Board’) and the Management of Civmec Limited (‘Civmec’ or the ‘Company’) together with its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’), recognise the importance of good corporate governance in ensuring greater transparency and protecting the interests of shareholders, as well as strengthening investors’ confidence in management and financial reporting and are, accordingly, committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance throughout the Group. This corporate governance report (‘Report’) describes the Company’s corporate governance practices that were in place during the financial year ended 30 June 2018 (‘FY2018’) with specific reference to the Principles of the Code of Corporate Governance 2012 (the ‘Code’). In line with the commitment of the Company to maintaining high standards of corporate governance, the Company will continually review its corporate governance processes to strive to fully comply with the Code. The Board is pleased to report compliance of the Company with the Code, the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange Securities Limited (‘SGX-ST’), and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’), where applicable, except where otherwise stated. BOARD’S CONDUCT OF AFFAIRS PRINCIPLE 1: EFFECTIVE BOARD TO LEAD AND CONTROL THE COMPANY. THE BOARD IS COLLECTIVELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LONG-TERM SUCCESS OF THE COMPANY. THE BOARD WORKS WITH MANAGEMENT TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE AND THE MANAGEMENT REMAINS ACCOUNTABLE TO THE BOARD. The primary role of the Board is to protect and enhance shareholders’ value and to ensure that the Company is run in accordance with best international management and corporate governance practices, appropriate to the needs and development of the Company. Apart from its statutory duties and responsibilities, the Board oversees the management and affairs of the Group and approves the Group’s corporate strategy and directions. The Board is also responsible for implementing policies in relation to financial matters, which include risk management and internal control and compliance. In addition, the Board reviews the financial performance of the Group, approves investment proposals and sets values and standards, including ethical standards for the Company and the Group. All Directors are aware of their fiduciary duties and exercise due diligence and independent judgement in ensuring that their decisions are objective and in the best interests of the Company. The Board has delegated the day-to-day management of the Group to Management, headed by the Executive Chairman, Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Patrick John Tallon and the Chief Operating Officer, Mr Kevin James Deery. Matters that are specifically reserved for the approval of the Board include, among others: • reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s internal controls, risk management systems, compliance and financial reporting systems; • approving the annual budgets and business plans; • approving any major investment or expenditure; • approving material acquisitions and disposal of assets; • approving the Company’s periodic and full-year results announcements for release to the SGX-ST and ASX; • approving annual report and audited financial statements; • monitoring Management’s performance; • recommending share issuance, dividend payments and other returns to shareholders; • ensuring accurate, adequate and timely reporting to, and communication with Shareholders; and • assuming responsibility for corporate governance. 52 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 BOARD’S CONDUCT OF AFFAIRS (Continued) PRINCIPLE 1 (Continued) The Company has adopted a policy on signing limits, setting out the level of authorisation required for specific transactions, including those that require Board approval. All the Board members are actively engaged and play an important role in ensuring good corporate governance within the Company. Visits to the Company’s business premises are arranged to acquaint the non-executive Directors with the Company’s operations and ensure that all the Directors are familiar with the Company’s business, policies and governance practices. The profile of each Director is presented in the section headed ‘Board of Directors’ of this Annual Report. The Directors have access to the Company Secretary and Management. They may also seek independent professional advice concerning the Company’s affairs when necessary. Prior to their respective appointments to the Board, each of the Directors was given an orientation and induction programme to familiarise them with the Company’s business activities, strategic directions, policies and key new projects. In addition, newly appointed directors are introduced to the senior management team. Upon appointment of each Director, the Company provides a letter to the Director setting out the Director’s duties and obligations. To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has established several Board Committees namely; Audit Committee (‘AC’), Nominating Committee (‘NC’), Remuneration Committee (‘RC’) and Risks and Conflicts Committee (‘RCC’). These committees function within clearly defined terms of references and operating procedures, which are reviewed on a regular basis. The effectiveness of these committees is also regularly monitored and reviewed by the Board. The roles and responsibilities of these committees are described in the following sections of this report. The Board meets on a regular basis and when necessary, to address any specific significant matters that may arise. Board meetings are scheduled in advance. The Constitution of the Company provides for Directors to conduct meeting by teleconferencing or videoconferencing or other similar means of communication whereby all persons participating in the meeting are able to hear each other. The Board and Board Committees may also make decisions by way of circulating resolutions. The number of Board and Board Committee meetings held and attended by each Board member during the financial year ended 30 June 2018 (‘FY2018’) is set out below: BOARD COMMITTEES BOARD AUDIT COMMITTEE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE NOMINATING COMMITTEE RISKS AND CONFLICTS COMMITTEE 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4* 4* 4* 4 4 4 2 2* 2* 2* 2 2 2 2 2* 2* 2* 2 2 2 4 4* 4* 4* 4 4 4 Number of Meetings Held Number of Meetings Attended James Finbarr Fitzgerald Patrick John Tallon Kevin James Deery Chong Teck Sin Wong Fook Choy Sunny Douglas Owen Chester *By invitation ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 53 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 BOARD’S CONDUCT OF AFFAIRS (Continued) PRINCIPLE 1 (Continued) All Directors are updated regularly on changes to the Company’s policies and are kept updated on relevant new laws and regulations including Directors’ duties and responsibilities, corporate governance and financial reporting standards. Newly appointed Directors are given briefings by Management on the business activities of the Group. The Company encourages the Directors to learn and develop as Directors. The Directors may attend training, conferences and seminars which may have a bearing on their duties and contribution to the Board, organised by professional bodies, regulatory institutions and corporations, at the Company’s expense, to keep themselves updated on the latest developments concerning the Group and to keep abreast of the latest regulatory changes. Each quarter, the Board was briefed and/or updated on recent changes to the accounting standards and industry developments and business initiatives. BOARD COMPOSITION AND GUIDANCE PRINCIPLE 2: STRONG AND INDEPENDENT ELEMENT ON THE BOARD. As at the date of this Report, the Board comprises six (6) Directors, three (3) of whom are Executive Directors and the remaining three (3) Directors being Independent Directors who comprise half of the Board. The Company has adopted the Code’s definition of ‘Independent Director’ and its guidance in respect of relationships which would deem a Director to be regarded as non-independent. No individual or group of individuals dominates the Board’s decision-making as half of the Board consist of Independent Directors. Collectively, the Executive Directors and Independent Directors bring a wide range of experience and expertise as they all currently occupy or have occupied senior positions in industry and/or government, and as such, each contributes significantly to Board decisions. The Board, in concurrence with the Nominating Committee (‘NC’), is of the view that the current Board and the Board Committees comprises an appropriate balance and diversity of skills, experience and knowledge of the Company, which provides broad diversity of expertise such as accounting or finance, business or management experience, industry knowledge, strategic planning experience and customer-based experience and knowledge who, as a group, provide core competencies necessary to meet the Company’s requirements. Further details on the key information and the profile of the Directors including their academic and professional qualifications, and other directorships in other listed companies is set out on related pages of this annual report. The current Board composition provides a diversity of skill, experience, and knowledge to the Company as follows: CORE COMPETENCIES Business Management Accounting or finance Legal or corporate governance Strategic planning experience Relevant industry knowledge or experience GENDER Male Female BALANCE AND DIVERSITY OF THE BOARD NUMBER OF DIRECTORS PROPORTION OF BOARD 6 6 6 6 4 6 0 100% 100% 100% 100% 67% 100% 0 54 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 BOARD COMPOSITION AND GUIDANCE (Continued) PRINCIPLE 2 (Continued) The Company values diversity and equal opportunity and has in place a diversity policy to ensure that its workforce is comprised of individuals with diverse skills, values, backgrounds and experience to the benefit of the Group. Diversity refers to characteristics such as age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability and ethnicity. All appointments and employment of employees including directors are based strictly on merit and equal opportunity and not driven by any gender bias. Formal gender diversity targets were not set for FY2018 but will be set by the Company for FY2019. Management is responsible for achieving the diversity objectives and reporting the progress towards and achievement of these objectives to the Board of Directors. The independence of each Director is reviewed annually by the NC in accordance with the Code’s definition of independence. Each Independent Director is required to declare his independence by duly completing and submitting a ‘Confirmation of Independence’ form. The declaration, which is drawn up based on the definitions and guidelines set forth in Guideline 2.1 in the Code, requires each Director to assess whether he considers himself independent and not having any of the relationships identified in the Code. Each Director is required to declare any circumstances in which he may be considered non-independent. The NC will then review the Confirmation of Independence to determine whether a Director is independent. As well, the NC considers the actions and conduct of the Independent Directors, including in formal Board meetings, to assess their independence. The NC has carefully reviewed and subsequently determined that the Independent Directors are independent. None of the Independent Directors has served on the Board beyond nine (9) years from the date of his first appointment. Guideline 2.4 of the Code is therefore not applicable to the Board. However, taking into account the need for Board refreshment, the Board will, develop a policy on this at the appropriate time. The Board reviews the size of the Board on an annual basis, and considers the present Board size as appropriate for the current scope and nature of the Group’s operations. In order to strengthen the independence of the Board, the Company has appointed a Lead Independent Director, Mr. Chong Teck Sin, to co-ordinate and lead the Independent Directors, providing a non-executive perspective and balanced viewpoint. The Independent Directors communicate regularly without the presence of the other Executive Directors and Management, to discuss matters such as succession and leadership development planning, Board processes and corporate governance matters. Feedback on the outcomes of these discussions is provided to the Executive Chairman. The Lead Independent Director will represent the Independent Directors in responding to shareholders’ questions and comments that are directed to the Independent Directors as a group. The Non-Executive Directors provide constructive review and assist the Board to facilitate and develop proposals on strategy and monitor the performance of the Management in meeting agreed objectives. The Non-Executive Directors have full access to and co-operation from the Company’s Management and officers. They have full discretion to have separate meetings without the presence of Management and to invite any Directors or officers to the meetings as and when warranted. To facilitate an effective review of Management, the Non-Executive Directors meet as and when necessary and at least once a year with Auditors without the presence of the Management. The Board and management fully appreciate that a fundamental of good corporate governance is an effective and robust Board whose members engage in open and constructive debate and challenge management on its assumptions and proposal. The Company has in place processes to ensure that the Non-Executive Directors are well supported by accurate, complete and timely information, have unrestricted access to Management and have sufficient time and resources to discharge their oversight function effectively. These include informal meetings for Management to brief the Directors on pertinent issues and provide the Board with regular information on projects and initiatives. To keep the Board abreast of relevant business developments, the Company regularly circulates to the Board, analyst and media commentaries on matters in relation to the Company and the industries in which it operates. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 55 REPORT ON REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 30 June 2018 CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PRINCIPLE 3: CLEAR DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITIES BETWEEN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE BOARD AND THE EXECUTIVES RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS. CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TO BE SEPARATE PERSONS TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE BALANCE OF POWER, INCREASED ACCOUNTABILITY AND GREATER CAPACITY OF THE BOARD FOR INDEPENDENT DECISION MAKING. Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald is the Executive Chairman of the Company, while Mr Patrick John Tallon is an Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’). The two roles are separated whereby the Executive Chairman bears responsibility for providing guidance on the corporate direction of the Group and leadership to the Board, and the CEO has executive responsibility for the Company’s day-to-day business. The Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are not related. The Executive Chairman ensures that Board meetings are held when necessary and approves the agenda in consultation with other Directors and ensures that Board members are provided with complete, accurate and timely information on a regular basis to enable them to be fully cognisant of the affairs of the Company. The Executive Chairman monitors communications and relations between the Company and its shareholders, and between the Board and Management to encourage constructive relations and dialogues between them. The Executive Chairman also works to facilitate the effective contribution of Directors and assists to ensure procedures are in place to comply with the Company’s guidelines on corporate governance. At the Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) and other shareholders’ meeting, the Executive Chairman ensures constructive dialogue between Board, Management and shareholders, and upholds high standards of corporate governance. Whilst the Board does not have an independent Chairman, the roles of the Executive Chairman and that of the CEO are clearly delineated. The Board believes that while the Chairman is not independent, the current composition of the Board with its combined skills and capability, and its mix of experience, best serve the interests of shareholders. In addition, the Company has appointed a Lead Independent Director, Mr Chong Teck Sin. As well as representing the views of the Independent Directors, he is also available to shareholders and to facilitate a two-way flow of information between shareholders, the Executive Chairman and the Board. All the Board Committees are led and solely comprise of Independent Directors. BOARD MEMBERSHIP PRINCIPLE 4: THERE SHOULD BE A FORMAL AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS FOR THE APPOINTMENT AND RE-APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS TO THE BOARD. The Company had established an NC to make recommendations to the Board on all board appointments. The NC comprises of three members, all of whom, including the NC Chairman, are Independent Non-Executive Directors: Mr Douglas Owen Chester Mr Chong Teck Sin Mr Wong Fook Choy Sunny Chairman Member Member The formal terms of reference of the NC are to: • • • • • nominate Directors (including Independent Directors) taking into consideration their competencies, contribution, performance and ability to commit sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Group and considering their respective commitments outside the Group; review and recommend to the Board the composition of the Audit Committee, Remuneration Committee and Risks and Conflicts Committee; re-nominate Directors for re-election in accordance with the Constitution at each AGM and having regard to the Director’s contribution and performance; determine annually whether or not a Director of the Company is independent; decide whether or not a Director is able to and has been adequately carrying out their duties as a Director; 56 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT REPORT ON REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 30 June 2018 BOARD MEMBERSHIP (Continued) PRINCIPLE 4 (Continued) • • • assess the performance of the Board as a whole and contribution of each Director to the effectiveness of the Board; review and recommend succession plans for Directors, in particular, the Executive Chairman and the CEO; and review and recommend training and professional development programmes for the Board. The process for the selection and appointment of new Board members is as follows: • • • the NC evaluates the balance of skills, knowledge and experience of the Board and, in light of such evaluation and in consultation with Board, prepares a description of the role and the essential and desirable competencies for a particular appointment; if required, the NC may engage consultants to undertake research on, or assess, candidates for new positions on the Board; the NC meets with short-listed candidates to assess their suitability and ensure that the candidates are aware of the expectations; and • the NC makes recommendations to the Board for approval. Pursuant to Article 118 of the Company’s Constitution, all the directors are required to retire from office at every AGM of the Company. After due review, the Board has accepted the recommendation of the NC and, accordingly, the below named Directors will be offering themselves for re-election at the forthcoming AGM: 1. James Finbarr Fitzgerald 2. Patrick John Tallon 3. Kevin James Deery 4. Chong Teck Sin 5. Wong Fook Choy Sunny 6. Douglas Owen Chester For the year under review, the NC held two (2) meetings and evaluated the Board’s performance as a whole and the contribution of each director to the effectiveness of the Board. The NC has adopted a formal process and criteria to assess the effectiveness of the Board and each of the Directors. The evaluation is carried out annually. The Board and the Management are of the view that the current Board structures in the principal subsidiaries are already well organised and constituted. The Board and Management will from time to time renew the Board structures of the principal subsidiaries and will make an appropriate decision to consider the appointment of the Independent Director into the principal subsidiaries, if necessary. Mr. Chong Teck Sin was appointed a Director of the Group’s subsidiary, Civmec Construction & Engineering, Singapore Pte. Ltd. The Company does not have a practice of appointing alternate directors. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 57 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 BOARD MEMBERSHIP (Continued) PRINCIPLE 4 (Continued) The dates of Directors’ initial appointment, last re-election and their directorships are set out below: NAME OF DIRECTOR James Finnbar Fitzgerald Patrick John Tallon Kevin James Deery Chong Teck Sin DATE OF INITIAL APPOINTMENT DATE OF LAST RE-ELECTION 27 Mar 2012 27 Mar 2012 27 Mar 2012 27 Mar 2012 26 Oct 2017 26 Oct 2017 26 Oct 2017 26 Oct 2017 PRESENT DIRECTORSHIPS IN LISTED COMPANIES PAST DIRECTORSHIPS IN LISTED COMPANIES* - - - - - - Changan Minsheng APLL Logistics Co. Ltd (1) AVIC International Maritime Holdings Limited InnoTek Limited Wong Fook Choy Sunny 27 Mar 2012 26 Oct 2017 Mencast Holdings Ltd KTL Global Ltd Excelpoint Technology Ltd InnoTek Limited Douglas Owen Chester 2 Nov 2012 26 Oct 2017 China Medical (International) Group Limited Kim Heng Offshore & Marine Holdings Limited Stamford Land Corporation Limited * Within the past three years Notes: (1) Listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange The NC has considered and taken the view that it would not be appropriate at this time to set a limit on the number of listed company directorships that a Director may hold. Directors have different capabilities, the nature of the organisations in which they hold appointments and the committees on which they serve are of different complexities, and accordingly, each Director would personally determine the demands of their competing directorships and obligations and assess the number of listed company directorships they could hold and serve effectively. Currently, none of the directors hold more than five (5) directorships in other listed companies. In addition, the NC also determines annually whether a Director with multiple board representations is able to and has been adequately carrying out their duties as a Director of the Company. The NC takes into account the results of the assessment of the effectiveness of the individual Director and the respective Directors’ actual conduct on the Board. The NC is satisfied that for FY2018 sufficient time and attention have been devoted by the Directors to the affairs of the Company and the Group. As such, there is presently no need to implement internal guidelines to address their competing time commitments notwithstanding that some of the Directors have multiple board representations. The NC will, however, continue to review, from time to time, the Board representations and other principal commitments to ensure that Directors continue to meet the demands of the Group and are able to discharge their duties adequately. 58 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 BOARD PERFORMANCE PRINCIPLE 5: FORMAL ANNUAL ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BOARD AS A WHOLE AND ITS BOARD COMMITTEES AND THE CONTRIBUTION BY EACH DIRECTOR TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BOARD. The NC undertakes an annual formal review and evaluation of both the Board’s performance as a whole, as well as individual Director’s performance, such as Board commitment, standard of conduct, competency, training & development and interaction with other Directors, Management and stakeholders. All Directors complete an evaluation questionnaire designed to seek their view on the various aspects of their individual and Board performance so as to assess the overall effectiveness of the Board. The completed questionnaire is collated by the Company Secretary and the results of the evaluation exercise are subsequently considered by the NC, before making recommendations to the Board. The Chairman of the Board may take actions as may be appropriate according to the results of the performance evaluation, which will be based on objective performance criteria proposed by the NC and approved by the Board. The performance of individual Directors is assessed based on factors which include their attendance, participation at Board and Board committee meetings and contributions to the Board in long range planning and the business strategies as well as their industry and business knowledge. Each member of the NC abstains from voting on any resolutions and making any recommendations and/or participating in any deliberations of the NC in respect of the assessment of their performance and re-nomination as a Director. The NC conducted a performance evaluation of the Board and Board Committees for FY2018 consistent with this process and determined that all directors has demonstrated full commitment to their roles and contributed effectively in the discharge their duties. Both the NC and the Board are of the view that the Board has met its performance objectives for FY2018. ACCESS TO INFORMATION PRINCIPLE 6: BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH COMPLETE, ADEQUATE AND TIMELY INFORMATION PRIOR TO BOARD MEETINGS AND ON AN ONGOING BASIS. The Board has separate and independent access to the senior Management of the Company and the Company Secretaries at all times. Request for information are dealt with promptly by Management. The Board is informed of all material events and transactions as and when they occur. The Management consults Board members as necessary and appropriate. Detailed board papers, agenda and related material, background or explanatory information relating to matters to be discussed are sent out to the Directors, usually at least a week prior to each meeting, so that all Directors may better understand the issues beforehand, allowing more time at meetings for discussion and deliberations. Directors are provided with a copy of documents containing a wide range of relevant information, including, quarterly and annual financial results, progress reports of the Group’s operations, corporate developments, business developments, management information, sector performance, budgets, forecast, capital expenditure and personnel statistics, reports from both external and internal auditors, significant project updates, business strategies, risk analysis and assessments and relevant regulatory updates. Management’s proposals to the Board for approval include background and explanatory information such as, resources needed, risk analysis and mitigation strategies, financial impact, regulatory implications, expected outcomes, conclusions and recommendations. Employees who can provide additional insight into matters to be discussed will be present at the relevant time during the Board and Board Committee meetings. In order to keep Directors abreast of the Group’s operations, the Directors are also updated on initiatives and developments on the Group’s business as soon as practicable and/or possible and on an ongoing basis. The Company Secretaries administer and are available to attend Board meetings, and assist the Chairman in implementing appropriate Board procedures to facilitate compliance with the Company’s Constitution. The Company Secretaries also ensures that the requirements of the Companies Act (Chapter 50), SGX-ST Listing Manual, ASX Listing Rules and other governance matters applicable to the Company are complied with. The Company Secretaries work together with the ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 59 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 ACCESS TO INFORMATION (Continued) PRINCIPLE 6 (Continued) Company to ensure that the Company complies with all relevant rules and regulations. The appointment and removal of the Company Secretaries are subject to the approval of the Board. The Board in fulfilling its responsibilities can, as a collective body or individually as Board members, when deemed fit, direct the Company and at the Company’s expense, to appoint independent professionals to render advice. REMUNERATION MATTERS PRINCIPLE 7: THE POLICY ON EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION AND FOR FIXING REMUNERATION PACKAGES OF INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS SHOULD BE FORMAL AND TRANSPARENT. NO DIRECTOR SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN DECIDING HIS OWN REMUNERATION. The Company has established a Remuneration Committee (RC) to make recommendations to the Board on remuneration packages of individual Directors and key management personnel. The RC is comprised of three (3) members, all of whom including the RC Chairman are Independent Non-Executive Directors: Mr Wong Fook Choy Sunny Chairman Mr Chong Teck Sin Mr Douglas Owen Chester Member Member The formal terms of reference of the RC, are to: • recommend to the Board a framework of remuneration for the Directors and key management personnel; • determine specific remuneration packages for each Executive Director; • review annually the remuneration of employees related to the Directors and substantial shareholders to ensure that their remuneration packages are in line with the staff remuneration guidelines and commensurate with their respective job scopes and level of responsibilities; and • perform such other acts as may be required by the SGX-ST and the Code, or ASX, from time to time. The recommendations of the RC are submitted for endorsement by the entire Board. Each member of the RC abstains from voting on any resolutions in respect of their own remuneration package. Also, in the event that a member of the RC is related to the employee under review, they will abstain from participating in that review. Directors are not involved in the discussion and in deciding their own remuneration. The RC has established a framework of remuneration for the Board and key management personnel covering all aspects of remuneration but not limited to Directors’ fees, salaries, allowances, bonuses, incentive schemes and benefits-in-kind. The RC also oversees the administration of the Civmec Limited Employee Share Option Scheme (‘CESOS’) and Civmec Limited Performance Share Plan (‘CPSP’) upon the terms of reference as defined in the CESOS and CPSP. The CESOS and CPSP were established on 27 March 2012 and 25 October 2012 respectively with a 10-year tenure commencing on the establishment date. The Company does not have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the Share Plan scheme. The RC has access to expert professional advice on human resource and remuneration matters whenever there is a need to consult externally. During the financial year, the fixed remuneration of executives was benchmarked against peers based on the industry salary surveys sourced from AON Hewitt McDonald. The RC reviews the fairness and reasonableness of the termination clauses of the service agreements of Executive Directors to ensure that such contracts of service contain fair and reasonable termination clauses which are not overly generous, with an aim to be fair and avoid rewarding poor performance. 60 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 REMUNERATION MATTERS (Continued) PRINCIPLE 7 (Continued) The RC is of the view that it is currently not necessary to use contractual provisions to allow the Company to reclaim incentive components of remuneration from the Executive Directors and key Management personnel in exceptional circumstances of misstatement of financial statements, or of misconduct resulting in financial loss to the Company and the Group. The Executive Directors owe a fiduciary duty to the Company and the Company should be able to avail itself to remedies against the Executive Directors and key Management personnel in the event of such exceptional circumstances of breach of fiduciary duty. PRINCIPLE 8: THE LEVEL OF REMUNERATION SHOULD BE ALIGNED WITH THE LONG-TERM INTEREST AND RISK POLICIES OF THE COMPANY, AND SHOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO ATTRACT, RETAIN AND MOTIVATE (A) THE DIRECTORS TO PROVIDE GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE COMPANY, AND (B) KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE COMPANY. HOWEVER, COMPANIES SHOULD AVOID PAYING MORE THAN IS NECESSARY FOR THIS PURPOSE. In making its recommendations to the Board on the level and mix of remuneration, the RC strives to be competitive, linking rewards with performance. It takes into consideration the essential factors to attract, retain and motivate the Directors and senior management needed to run the Company successfully, linking rewards to corporate and individual performance, and aligning their interest with those of the shareholders. Executive Directors and key Management personnel remuneration comprises a fixed and a variable component, the latter of which is in the form of a bonus linked to the performance of the individual as well as the Company. In addition, short-term and long-term incentives, such as the CESOS and CPSP, are in place to strengthen the pay-for-performance framework by rewarding and recognising the key executives’ contributions to the growth of the Company. This is designed to align remuneration with the interests of shareholders and link rewards to corporate and individual performance so as to promote long-term sustainability of the Group. The Company has renewed the service agreements with the Executive Directors, Mr. James Finbarr Fitzgerald, Mr. Patrick John Tallon and Mr. Kevin James Deery. Each service agreement is valid for a period of three (3) years with effect from the date of expiry of the previous period. During the renewal period of three (3) years, either party may terminate the Service Agreement at any time by giving to the other party not less than six (6) months’ notice in writing, or in lieu of notice, payment of amount equivalent to six (6) months’ salary. The Executive Directors do not receive Director’s fees. The remuneration packages of the Executive Directors and the key senior management personnel are based on service contracts and their remuneration is determined having due regard to the performance of the individuals, the Group as well as market trends. During FY2018, no Share Option and performance rights have been granted to the Executive Directors and key management personnel. The remuneration of the Independent Directors is in the form of a fixed fee which is subject to shareholders’ approval at the AGM. Each member of the RC abstains from voting on any resolution, participating in any deliberation of the RC, and making any recommendation in respect of their own remuneration. The Independent Directors’ fees were derived using the fee structure as follows: Independent Director who is the Chairman of Audit Committee Other Independent Directors ANNUAL FEES (S$) 80,000 70,000 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 61 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 REMUNERATION MATTERS (Continued) PRINCIPLE 9: CLEAR DISCLOSURE ON REMUNERATION LEVEL AND MIX OF REMUNERATION, AND THE PROCEDURE FOR SETTING REMUNERATION IN THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL REPORT.

The Board is mindful of its obligations to furnish timely information to its shareholders, the public and regulators and to ensure full disclosure of material information to its shareholders in compliance with the statutory requirements and the SGX-ST Listing Manual and ASX Listing Rules. In this respect the Board is responsible for the release of quarterly and full-year results, price sensitive information, the annual report and other material corporate developments in a timely manner and within the legally-prescribed period.

Financial results and other corporate announcements of the Company are disseminated through announcements via SGXNET and ASX Online PRINCIPLE 11: MAINTAINS A SOUND SYSTEM OF RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS TO SAFEGUARD THE SHAREHOLDERS’ INTERESTS AND THE COMPANY’S ASSETS. The Company has established a Risks and Conflicts Committee (RCC) to advise and make recommendations to the Board on risk and conflict matters. The RCC comprises three (3) members, all of whom, including the RCC Chairman are Independent Non-Executive Directors: Mr. Chong Teck Sin – Chairman Mr. Douglas Owen Chester – Member Mr. Wong Fook Choy Sunny – Member The RCC is guided by its terms of reference which highlights its primary responsibilities are to: • • • review and monitor the Group’s risk management framework and activities, including the Group’s levels of risk tolerance and risk policies; report to the Board regarding the Group’s risk exposures, including review risk assessment model used to monitor the risk exposures and Management’s views on the acceptable and appropriate level of risk faced by the Group’s Business Units; recommend and adopt appropriate measures to control and mitigate the business risks of the Group, as and when these may arise; and • perform any other functions as may be agreed by the Board. During the year, the RCC has: • • • • reviewed the Risk Register and Risk Management Framework; revised the Risk Mitigation Plan presented by Management to mitigate and monitor the risk exposure; reviewed the Project Risk and Opportunity Reporting Improvements; and reviewed the policies adopted by the Company such as Bribery & Corruption Policy and Procedures and the Code of Conduct. 64 64 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT (Continued) PRINCIPLE 11 (Continued) The Group’s internal controls and systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance on the integrity and reliability of the financial information and to safeguard and maintain accountability of its assets. Procedures are in place to identify major business risks and to 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, compliance, information technology controls as well as risk management systems 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 and RCC. The Company’s internal audit function prepares an annual internal audit plan, which takes account of the Company’s key risks and other assurance activities performed, enabling internal audit resources to be targeted to areas of greatest value across the Company’s operations, including group and subsidiary structures. Processes subject to internal audit include financial, administrative, operational and project specific activities and systems. The internal audit function provides advice on the effectiveness of risk management processes and material internal controls, recommends corrective actions and control improvements and follows up on the implementation of action plans designed by management to address any control deficiencies or improvement opportunities. Internal audit reports containing internal audit results, recommendations and agreed action plans are presented to the AC on a quarterly basis. The Group appoints internal auditors to carry out a review of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s key internal controls, including financial, operational, compliance and information technology controls as well as risk management systems to the extent of their scope as laid out in their audit plan. 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 and that was in place throughout the financial year and up to the date of this report provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material financial misstatements or losses, and 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. Based on the risk management and internal control systems established and implemented by the Group, and work conducted by the internal auditors, external auditors and our internal audit team, the Board, with the concurrence of the AC, is of the opinion that the Company’s system of internal controls and risk management procedures maintained by the Group are adequate and effective to meet the needs of the Company in addressing the financial, operational, compliance, information technology controls and risk management systems in the Group’s current business environment. The Board has received assurances from the CEO and Chief Financial Officer: (i) that the financial records have been properly maintained and the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company’s operations and finances; and (ii) that the Company’s risk management and internal control systems are adequate and effective. 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. The Company will publish its inaugural Sustainability Report in November 2018, which will further consider the management of any material economic, environmental and social sustainability risks faced by the Group.

A report is presented to the AC on a quarterly basis whenever there is a whistle-blowing issue. The AC having reviewed the external auditors’ non-audit services, is of the opinion that there were 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 monetary consideration. The aggregate amount of agreed fees to be paid to the external auditors, Moore Stephens LLP for FY2018 is S$240,000 which comprises audit fee of S$173,000 and S$67,000 non-audit fees. The AC has recommended to the Board the re- appointment of Moore Stephens LLP as the Company’s external auditors at the forthcoming AGM. The AC is kept abreast by the external auditors of changes to accounting standards, SGX-ST Listing Rules and ASX Listing Rules, and other regulations which could have an impact on the Group’s business and financial statements. 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 has ensured that arrangements are in place for independent investigations of such matters and for appropriate follow up actions. All whistle-blowing reports will be addressed to the AC Chairman, either directly or through STOPline, the whistle blowing service provider. Staff are regularly informed of the existence of the whistle-blowing mechanism and encouraged to report relevant matters. There were no reports received through the whistle-blowing system during FY2018. PRINCIPLE 13: ESTABLISH AN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION THAT IS ADEQUATELY RESOURCED AND INDEPENDENT OF THE ACTIVITIES IT AUDITS. The Board recognises the importance of maintaining an internal audit function, independent of the activities it audits, to maintain a sound system of internal control within the Company to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Company’s assets. The Company’s internal audit function is outsourced to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, which is independent of the Company’s business activities. The internal auditors conduct the audit based on the standards set by internationally recognised professional bodies. The annual internal audit plan is submitted to the AC for approval prior to the commencement of the internal audit work. The internal auditors review the effectiveness of key internal controls in accordance with the internal audit plan. Staffed by suitably qualified and experienced executives, the internal auditors have unrestricted direct access to the AC and unfettered access to all the Company’s documents, properties and personnel. The internal auditors have a direct and primary reporting line to the AC and assist the AC in overseeing and monitoring the implementation and improvements required on internal control weaknesses identified. The AC reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal audit function quarterly. The role of the internal auditors is to support the AC in ensuring that the Group maintains a sound system of internal controls by monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of key controls and procedures, conducting in-depth auditors of high risk areas and undertaking investigations as directed by the AC. The RCC reviews all significant control policies and procedures and highlights all significant risk matters to the Board for discussions and to take appropriate actions, if required. The Company’s external auditors also conduct annual reviews of the effectiveness of the Group’s material internal controls for financial reporting in accordance with the scope as laid out in their audit plans. The AC regularly reviews the performance of the internal auditors and determines their reappointment and level of remuneration. The AC reviews the adequacy of the function of the internal audit annually and based on this review believes that the internal auditors have adequate resources to perform their function effectively and objectively. The AC is satisfied with the effectiveness of the existing internal control systems put in place by the Management to meet the needs of the Group in its current business environment. 68 68 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT (Continued) SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES PRINCIPLE 14: COMPANIES SHOULD TREAT ALL SHAREHOLDERS FAIRLY AND EQUITABLY, AND SHOULD RECOGNISE, PROTECT AND FACILITATE THE EXERCISE OF SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHTS, AND CONTINUALLY REVIEW AND UPDATE SUCH GOVERNANCE ARRANGEMENTS. PRINCIPLE 15: COMPANIES SHOULD ACTIVELY ENGAGE THEIR SHAREHOLDERS AND PUT IN PLACE AN INVESTOR RELATIONS POLICY TO PROMOTE REGULAR, EFFECTIVE AND FAIR COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS. PRINCIPLE 16: COMPANIES SHOULD ENCOURAGE GREATER SHAREHOLDER PARTICIPATION AT GENERAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS, AND ALLOW SHAREHOLDERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE THEIR VIEWS ON VARIOUS MATTERS AFFECTING THE COMPANY. The Company recognises the importance of regular, timely and effective communication with the shareholders. The Company does not practise selective disclosure. In line with continuous disclosure obligations of the Company pursuant to the SGX-ST Listing Manual, the Companies Act of Singapore and the ASX Listing Rules, it is the Board’s policy that all the shareholders should be equally informed, on a timely basis via SGXNET and ASX Online, of all major developments that will or expect to have an impact on the Company or the Group. The Company ensures that shareholders have the opportunity to participate effectively and vote at shareholders’ meetings. In this regard, shareholders are informed of shareholders’ meetings through notices contained in annual reports or a circular sent to all shareholders. These notices are also published in the local newspaper and posted on SGXNET and ASX Online.. In addition to SGXNET and ASX Online, announcements and its annual report, the Company updates shareholders of its corporate developments thought its corporate website at www.civmec.com.au, Shareholders are invited and given the opportunity to voice their views, put forth any questions and seek clarification on questions they may have regarding the Company. The directors, Management and the external auditors are normally available at the AGM to answer shareholders’ queries. Shareholders are also informed of the rules and voting procedures governing such meetings. Resolutions are, as far as possible, structured separately and may be voted on independently. The Group fully supports the Code’s principle to encourage shareholders’ participation in and vote at all the general meetings. The Company’s Constitution allows the appointment of not more than two proxies by shareholders to attend the AGM and vote on his/their behalf. Shareholders who hold shares through nominees are allowed, upon prior request through their nominees, to attend the general meetings as proxies without being constrained by the two-proxy requirement. The Company, however, has not implemented measures to allow shareholders who are unable to vote in person at the Company’s AGM the option to vote in absentia, such as via mail, electronic mail or facsimile transactions, as the authentication of shareholder indemnity information and other related security issues still remain a concern. The Company Secretary prepares minutes of general meetings that include substantial and relevant comments or queries from shareholders relating to the agenda of the meetings and responses from the Board and the Management, and to make these minutes available to shareholders at the registered office of the Company at 80 Robinson Road #02-00, Singapore 068898 during normal business hours upon written request. For greater transparency, the Company has adopted the voting of all its resolutions by poll at the general meetings and an announcement of the detailed results of the number of votes cast for and against each resolution and the respective percentages are announced at the meeting and via announcements on SGXNET and ASX Online made on the same day. The Company conducts regular investor and analyst briefings with institutional investors to update its business operations and to solicit feedback as well as hearing its investors’ views and addresses their concern, if any and where appropriate. All investors and analyst briefings presentation materials are uploaded onto SGXNET and ASX Online for all investors’ information. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 69 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 June 2018 SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES (Continued) PRINCIPLE 14, 15, 16 (Continued) The Company has in place an investor relations policy which sets out the principles and practices that the Company applies in order to provide shareholders and prospective investors with information necessary to make well informed investment decisions and to ensure a level playing field. In addition, the Group has engaged WeR1 Consultants as its media and investor relations team that communicates with its shareholders and analysts regularly and attends to their queries. The investor relations team supports the Company to promote relations with, and acts as liaison for, institutional investors and public shareholders. The Group’s website also includes a tab labelled ‘Investor Relations’ which provides investors with all the information they may require. Civmec Limited is committed to providing excellent returns to its shareholders through a combination of longer term capital growth and regular dividend payments. The Board considers a range of factors in determining the dividend payable in any year, including the business environment, balance sheet, working capital requirements of the business and potential investment opportunities. The form, frequency and amount of dividends declared each year will take into consideration the Group’s profit growth, cash position, positive cash flow generated from operations, projected capital requirements for business growth and other factors as the Board may deem appropriate. Any payouts are clearly communicated to shareholders in public announcements and via announcements on SGXNET and ASX Online when the Company discloses its financial results. The Company has proposed a tax exempt (foreign source) First and Final Dividend of 0.7 Singapore cents per ordinary share for the financial year ended 30 June 2018, payment of which is subject to shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming AGM. OTHER GOVERNANCE PRACTICES MATERIAL CONTRACTS There were no material contracts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including loans, involving the interests of any Director, the CEO or the controlling shareholders either still subsisting at the end of FY2018.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the ‘Act’) and Financial Reporting Standards in Singapore (‘FRSs’) so as to give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group and the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2018 and of the consolidated financial performance, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date. BASIS FOR OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (‘SSAs’). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (‘ACRA’) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (‘ACRA Code’) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. KEY AUDIT MATTERS Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financials as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. KEY AUDIT MATTER HOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER Revenue recognition on construction contracts Our response We refer to Note 3(a)(ii) under ‘Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty’ and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s revenue arising from construction contracts amounted to S$738.7 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2018. Revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date. We have focused on this area because of the significant judgment involved in estimating the contract revenue, contracts costs, and the percentage of completion of each project. We performed procedures to understand, evaluate and validate relevant key controls put in place by the management over the revenue and costs recognition on construction contracts. We assessed management’s assumptions in determining the forecast contract revenue, percentage of completion of the projects and the total budgeted cost estimated for the project. We have challenged the appropriateness of the variations and claims included in the computation of the construction revenue. In particular, we focused on whether there were subsequent approval of these variations and claims or where it is probable that these variations and claims will be thereafter approved. We evaluated the appropriateness of inputs, amongst others, materials, subcontractor and labour costs used by management in their estimation of the total cost to complete and obtained supporting documentation on the major inputs. 72 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CIVMEC LIMITED KEY AUDIT MATTERS (Continued) KEY AUDIT MATTER Revenue recognition on construction contracts (Continued) HOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER Our response (Continued) We also examined key project documentation and discussed the progress of the significant projects with the Group’s key project personnel and management for potential disputes, variation order claims or significant events that could impact the estimated contract revenue, estimated contractual costs and stage of completion. We then assessed the arithmetic accuracy of the revenue and profit recognised based on the percentage of completion computation for individually significant projects. We have also checked that appropriateness of the carrying value of the work-in-progress by reviewing management’s assessment of foreseeable losses on projects by focusing on projects with low or negative margins. Our findings In determining the percentage of completion of projects, the Group has a structured process and takes into account variations and claims depending on the status of the variation and nature of the variation or claim. Management conducts regular meetings to review the status of the projects including the variations and claims and any potential foreseeable losses. Management’s judgement used in the estimation of the percentage of completion and decision on whether to include emerging profits from variations and claims or to recognise foreseeable losses is balanced and a fair reflection of their internal project discussions and external discussions with customers. Recoverability of trade and other receivables Our response We refer to Note 3(b)(i) under ‘Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty’ and Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements. The carrying amount of trade and other receivables of the Group was S$290.8 million as at 30 June 2018. We focused on this area because of its significance and the degree of judgement required in determining the carrying amount of trade and other receivables as at the reporting date. The Group assesses at each financial year end where there is objective evidence that the receivables are impaired. When there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. We obtained an understanding of the Group’s credit policy and evaluated the processes for identifying impairment indicators. We selected sample transactions to test the accuracy of the ageing computation. We have also reviewed significant outstanding trade and other receivables for any known significant difficulties of debtors. Our findings Based on our audit procedures, we found management’s assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables to be reasonable and the disclosures to be appropriate.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and FRSs, 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 financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • • • • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 74 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CIVMEC LIMITED • • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditor have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Lao Mei Leng.

GENERAL INFORMATION Civmec Limited (the ‘Company’) was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore on 3 June 2010 under the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the ‘Act’) as an investment holding company for the purpose of acquiring the subsidiary companies pursuant to the Restructuring Exercise. On the 29 March 2012 the company changed its name to Civmec Limited. The Company was listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Ltd (SGX-ST) since 13 April 2012. On 22 June 2018, the Company was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Company is now holding dual listing status. The Company has provided an option to shareholders to convert their shares with SGX-ST for shares with ASX, at the ratio of 1:1. The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is at 80 Robinson Road, #02-00, Singapore 068898. The principal activity of the Company is that of an investment holding company. The principal activities of its subsidiaries, joint venture and joint operations are set out in Note 15, 16 and 17. The financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue on the date of the statement by the directors. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of preparation 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. 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) Adoption of New/Revised Financial Reporting Standards (i) Application of New/Revised Financial Reporting Standards (‘FRSs’) effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 July 2017 The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except that in the current financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised standards which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 July 2017. The adoption of these standards did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Group and the Company. • Amendments to FRS 7 Statement of Cash Flows The amendments require new disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities in respect of: (a) Changes from financing cash flows; (b) Changes arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; (c) The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates; (d) Changes in fair values; and (e) Other changes. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 83 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (b) Adoption of New/Revised Financial Reporting Standards (Continued) (i) Application of New/Revised Financial Reporting Standards (‘FRSs’) effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 July 2017 (Continued) The above disclosure also applies to changes in financial assets if cash flows from those financial assets are included in cash flows from financing activities. Comparatives are not required in the first year of adoption. As this is a disclosure requirement, the application of this amendment has had no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The above information is provided under consolidated statement of cash flows. • Amendments to FRS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrecognised Losses The amendments to FRS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrecognised Losses clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. The amendments to FRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2017. Management has reassessed all unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and there is no material impact. (ii) New or Revised standards issued but not yet effective At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the relevant amended standards that has been issued but not yet effective is as follows: DESCRIPTION FRS 109 FRS 115 Amendments to FRS 102 INT FRS 122 Financial Instruments Revenue from Contracts with Customers Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration Improvements to FRSs (December 2016) EFFECTIVE FOR ANNUAL PERIODS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER 1 January 2018 1 January 2018 1 January 2018 1 January 2018 1 January 2018 - FRS 101 - FRS 28 FRS 116 INT FRS 123 Amendments to FRS 110 and FRS 28 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures Leases Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture 1 January 2019 1 January 2019 Deferred indefinitely, early application is still permitted Except for FRS 109, FRS 115 and FRS 116 described below, the directors expect that the adoption of the other standards above will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. • FRS 109 Financial Instruments FRS 109 was introduced to replace FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. FRS 109 changes the classification and measurement requirements for financial assets and liabilities, and also introduces a three-stage impairment model that will impair financial assets based on expected losses regardless of whether objective indicators of impairment have occurred. FRS 109 also provides a simplified hedge accounting model that will align more closely with companies’ risk management strategies. FRS 109 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early application permitted. Retrospective application is generally required, except that hedge accounting requirements are, with limited exemptions, applied prospectively. Comparative information need not be restated. The Group does not expect to reclassify any of their financial assets and liabilities as a result of the application of FRS 109. 84 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (b) Adoption of New/Revised Financial Reporting Standards (Continued) (ii) New or Revised standards issued but not yet effective (Continued) Trade, contract and lease receivables The Group plans to apply the simplified impairment approach to recognise only lifetime expected credit losses (‘ECL’) impairment charges on all trade receivables and other contract assets that arise from FRS 115, as well as lease receivables. The Group does not expect a resulting significant change in aggregate impairment allowance on these receivables. • FRS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers FRS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers sets out the requirements for recognising revenue that apply to all contracts with customers (except for contracts that are within the scope of the standards on leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments). FRS 115 replaces the previous revenue standards, FRS 18 Revenue and FRS 11 Construction Contracts, and the related interpretations on revenue recognition, INT FRS 115 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, INT FRS 118 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and INT FRS 31 Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. FRS 115 establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under FRS 115, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in FRS 115 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognising revenue when the promised goods and services are transferred to the customer i.e. when performance obligations are satisfied. Key issues for the Group include identifying performance obligations, accounting for contract modifications, applying the constraint to variable consideration, evaluating significant financing components, measuring progress toward satisfaction of a performance obligation, recognising contract cost assets and addressing disclosure requirements. Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted. Significant judgments and estimates are used in determining the impact, such as the assessment of the probability of customer acceptance of claims, estimation of project completion date and assumed levels of project execution productivity. The contractual terms and the way in which the Group operates its construction contracts is predominantly derived from projects containing one performance obligation. Contract revenue will continue to be recognised over time, however the new standard provides new requirements for variable consideration, as well as accounting for claims and variations as contract modifications which all impart a higher threshold of probability for recognition. Revenue is currently recognised when it is probable that work performed will result in revenue whereas under the new standard, revenue is recognised when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur for these modifications. Management is of the view that the adoption of FRS 115 is not expected to have a significant financial impact on the financial performance or the financial position of the Group, but will have necessary disclosures to be present in the financial statements. • FRS 116 Leases FRS 116 Leases sets out a revised framework for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, and replaces FRS 17 Leases, INT FRS 104 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, INT FRS 15 Operating Leases - Incentives; and INT FRS 27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. FRS 116 requires lessees to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, except where the underlying asset is of low value. The right-of-use asset is depreciated and interest expense is recognised on the lease liability. The accounting requirements for lessors have not been changed substantially, and continue to be based on classification as operating and finance leases. Disclosure requirements have been enhanced for both lessors and lessees. FRS 116 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted for companies but only if it also apply FRS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial application of FRS 116. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 85 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (b) Adoption of New/Revised Financial Reporting Standards (Continued) (ii) New or Revised standards issued but not yet effective (Continued) At this stage, the Group is of the view that the expected impact of the Standard cannot be estimated reliably due to the number of lease contracts of the Group. The Group will make a more detailed assessment of the impact over the next twelve months. • Convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Singapore-incorporated companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) are required to apply a new financial reporting framework identical to the International Financial Reporting Standards (referred to as SG-IFRS in these financial statements) for the financial year ending 31 December 2018 onwards. The Group has performed a preliminary assessment of the impact of SG-IFRS 1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards for the transition to the new reporting framework. Based on the Group’s preliminary assessment, the Group expects that the impact on adoption of SG-IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and SG-IFRS 9 Financial Instruments will be similar to adopting FRS 115 and FRS 109 as described in this note. Other than the adoption of new and revised standards, the Group does not expect to change its existing accounting policies on adoption of the new framework. The Group will reassess the accounting policies adopted by the Group in accordance with FRS and SG-IFRS. Based on the Group’s preliminary assessment, there are no material textual differences between these accounting standards. The Group has assessed the available accounting policy choices, transitional optional exemptions and transitional mandatory exceptions under SG-IFRS 1 and does not expect significant changes to the first SG-IFRS financial statements for the financial year ending 30 June 2019. (c) Basis of Consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give power, including: - the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; - potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; - - rights arising from other contractual agreements; and any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. 86 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (c) Basis of Consolidation (Continued) (i) Subsidiaries (Continued) Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with FRS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition- date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group’s accounting policies. Change in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. Disposal of subsidiaries When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. (ii) Joint Arrangements A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. A joint arrangement is classified either as joint operation or joint venture, based on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint venture. The Group reassesses whether the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved has changed when facts and circumstances change. Joint Venture The Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for the investment using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 87 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (c) Basis of Consolidation (Continued) (ii) Joint Arrangements (Continued) Joint Operations The Group’s joint operations are joint arrangements whereby the parties (the joint operators) that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations to the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group recognises, in relation to its interest in the joint operation: • • • • • its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. When the Group sells or contribute assets to a joint operation, the Group recognises gains or losses on the sale or contribution of assets that is attributable to the interest of the other joint operations. The Group recognises the full amount of any loss when the sale or contribution of assets provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value, or an impairment loss, of those assets. When the Group purchases assets from a joint operation, it does not recognise it share of the gains and losses until it resells the assets to an independent party, However, a loss on the transaction is recognised immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of the assets to be purchased or and impairment loss. The accounting policies of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to the Group’s interest in a joint operation have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. (d) Investment in Subsidiary Companies Investments in subsidiary companies are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the statement of financial position of the Company. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investments are recognised in the profit or loss. (e) 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(h) 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 contract costs incurred to date as a percentage of the estimated total costs for the contract or on the basis of value of work completed. 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’). 88 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (f) Income Tax Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current income tax is 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 is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of ssets 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) 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 (ii) 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. Current income taxes are recognised in profit and loss except to the extent that the tax relates 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. to items recognised 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. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 89 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (g) 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$’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Singapore dollar (‘SGD’ or S$), which is considered to be more relevant to investors as the equity securities of the Company are traded in the Singapore Exchange Securities Ltd (SGX-ST). 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: - - - 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. 90 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (h) Construction Contract 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) total contract revenue can be measured reliably; (ii) 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’. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 91 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (i) Financial Assets (i) 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. (ii) 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. (iii) 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. (iv) 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. 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. (j) 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. 92 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (k) 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 Land and leasehold building are stated on the cost basis and are therefore carried at cost. Leasehold building includes the construction costs and borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation. Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 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. Assets under construction are not depreciated. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Buildings Plant and equipment Leased plant and equipment Small tools Motor vehicles Office and IT equipment Depreciation Rate 3% 5%– 15% 5% – 15% 5%– 33.33% 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. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 93 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (l) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets Non-financial assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any 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. 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. (m) 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. (n) 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. 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. 94 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (n) Financial Liability and Equity Instruments Issued by the Group (Continued) 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. (o) 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. (p) 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. 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. (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 high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 95 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) (q) Employee Benefits (Continued) Share-based payments The Group operates an equity-settled share-based compensation plan. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of options is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in the share option reserve over the vesting period. The total amount to be recognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted on the date of the grant. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the estimation of the number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date and recognises the impact of the revision of the estimates in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to the share option reserve over the remaining vesting period. The charge or credit to profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. No expense is recognised for options that do not ultimately vest, except for options where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vested irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. The employee share option reserve is transferred to retained earnings upon expiry of the share options. When the options are exercised, the employee share option reserve is transferred to share capital if new shares are issued, or to treasury shares if the options are satisfied by the reissuance of treasury shares. In situations where equity instruments are issued and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, the unidentified goods or services received (or to be received) are measured as the difference between the fair value of the share-based payment and the fair value of any identifiable goods or services received at the grant date. This is then capitalised or expensed as appropriate. (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. (s) Share Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against the share capital account. Treasury shares When any entity within the Group purchases the Company’s ordinary shares (‘treasury shares’), the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a component within equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders, until they are cancelled, sold or re-issued. When treasury shares are subsequently cancelled, the cost of treasury shares are deducted against the share capital account if the shares are purchased out of capital of the Company, or against the retained earnings of the Company if the shares are purchased out of the earnings of the Company. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or re-issued pursuant to the employee share option scheme, the cost of treasury shares is reversed from the treasury share account and the realised gain or loss on sale or re-issue, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and related income tax, is recognised in the capital reserve. (t) Related Parties A related party is defined as follows: A related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that is preparing its financial statements (referred to as the ‘reporting entity’). 96 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 2.

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 (i) 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 current financial year. The carrying amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 30 June 2018 was S$145,072,000 (2017: S$136,063,000) (Note 13). A 10% difference in the expected useful lives of these assets from management’s estimate would result in an approximately S$1,084,000 (2017: S$1,074,000) variance in the Group’s profit before tax. (ii) 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 period 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. In making the judgment, the Group evaluates this by relying on past experience and knowledge of the project specialist. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 97 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued) (a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions (Continued) (ii) Determination of percentage of completion on construction contracts (Continued) 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 approved or accepted by the customer. As the approval process takes some time, significant 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. (iii) Income taxes The Group has exposure to income taxes of which a portion of these taxes arose from certain transactions and computations for which ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises receivables or liabilities on expected tax issues based on their best estimates of the likely taxes recoverable or due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax positions in the period in which such determination is made. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and Company’s current income tax positions as at 30 June 2018 were current tax payable of S$1,376,000 (2017: tax recoverable of S$4,470,000) and S$1,369,000 (2017: tax recoverable of S$4,498,000) respectively. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2018 are disclosed in Note 8. (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: (i) 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 receivables were recorded for the financial years ended 30 June 2018 and 2017. The carrying value of the Group’s and the Company’s trade and other receivable as at 30 June 2018 is S$290,846,000 (2017: S$157,435,000) and S$34,610,000 (2017: $29,233,000). (ii) 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 2018 and 2017. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2018 is S$145,072,000 (2017: S$136,063,000). 98 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 4.

As at 30 June 2018, the Group has capital tax losses of approximately S$9,233,000 (2017: S$9,648,000) that are available for offset against future capital gains of the companies in which the losses arose, for which no deferred tax asset is recognised due to uncertainty of its recoverability. The use of these capital tax losses is subject to the agreement of tax authorities and compliance with certain provisions of the tax legislation of the respective countries in which the companies operate. The deferred tax assets arising from these capital losses amounted to S$2,677,000 (2017: S$2,801,000) and are not recognised as there is no reasonable certainty that future capital gains will be available to utilise the capital tax losses. The tax rate used for the 2018 and 2017 reconciliations above is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by corporate entities in Australia on taxable profits under the tax law in that jurisdiction. The Group’s operations are located in Australia. 102 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 8.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (a) Performance Share Plan The Civmec Performance Share Plan (the ‘CPSP’) for key management personnel and employees of the Group was approved and adopted by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 25 October 2012. Under the CPSP, 1,199,000 ordinary shares with a market value of S$0.70 per share were fully allotted out of treasury shares issued by the Company on 13 June 2014.

(b) Employee Share Option Scheme The Civmec Employee Share Option Scheme (the ‘CESOS’) was established on 27 March 2012 and formed part of the Civmec Limited prospectus dated 5 April 2012. The CESOS is a long term incentive scheme to reward and retain key management and employees of the Group whose service are integral to the success and the continued growth of the Group. 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. Controlling shareholders or their associates cannot participate in the scheme unless certain conditions are satisfied and shareholder approval is obtained. The options are issued for no consideration and carry no entitlements to voting rights or dividends of the Group and are not transferable. The number of options granted is subject to approval by the Remuneration Committee and is based on a performance framework which incorporates financial and/or non-financial performance measurement criteria. Options are forfeited immediately after the holder ceases to be employed by the Group (except in the case of ill health, retirement, redundancy or bankruptcy), unless the committee determines otherwise. The options are issued with a strike price that is at the Remuneration Committee’s discretion, set at a price as quoted on the Singapore Exchange for three market days 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%). The vesting period for options issued with no discount to market price is over one year. On 11 September 2013, 6,000,000 options were granted to employees under the CESOS to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of S$0.65 per share. The options are exercisable on or before 11 September 2023. Options granted to employees are as follows: GRANT DATE TOTAL NUMBER GRANTED VESTING PERIOD 11 September 2013 6,000,000 1 year ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT 117 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 22. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (Continued) (b) Employee Share Option Scheme (Continued) The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of, and movements in share options during the year: 2018 2017 NO.

WAEP $ Outstanding at the beginning of the year 4,500,000 0.65 5,000,000 0.65 Cancelled during the year (500,000) Outstanding at the end of the year 4,000,000 Exercisable at the end of the year 4,000,000 - 0.65 (500,000) 4,500,000 4,500,000 - 0.65 The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding as at 30 June 2018 is 5 years (2017: 6 years). The exercise price of outstanding shares was S$0.65 (2017: $0.65). The fair value of the options granted to employees is deemed to represent the value of the employee services received over the vesting period. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $0.0472 (2017: $0.0472). These values were calculated using the Binomial option pricing model applying the following inputs: GRANT DATE: Vesting period Dividend yield Weighted average exercise price Share price Expected average life of the option Expected share price volatility Risk-free interest rate 11 SEPTEMBER 2013 1 year 11% S$0.65 S$0.65 5.9 years 26% 2.68% The expected volatility of the Company has been determined having regard to the historical volatility of the market price of the Company’s shares and the mean reversion tendency of volatilities. The life of the options is based on the expected exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future. A liquidity discount has also been applied to the value of the options to account for historically low trading volume of the shares. 118 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 23.

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 (i) 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 2018, approximately 12% (2017: 19%) 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% (2017: 1%) with all other variables remain constant, the Group’s profit before tax will be approximately lower/higher by S$949,000 (2017: S$506,000) 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.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Continued) (a) Market Risk (Continued) (ii) 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. (b) 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. Depending on the division within the Group and the Company, credit terms are generally 30 days from the date of invoice. The main source of credit risk to the Group and Company is considered to relate to the class of assets described as ‘Trade and other receivables’. The Group has a concentration of credit risk with one counterparty accounting for 20% (2017: 17%) of trade receivables as at 30 June 2018. The following table details the Group’s and the Company’s trade and other receivables, excluding retention sums, 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 believes 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 monitoring of customer credit risk, the Group 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. Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by investing surplus funds with counterparties that are at a Standard and Poor’s rating of at least AA. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents based on Standard and Poor’s counterparty credit ratings. Cash and cash equivalents: AA Rated GROUP COMPANY 2018 S$’000 2017 S$’000 2018 S$’000 2017 S$’000 23,590 24,044 5 25 128 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) (c) 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: - Preparing forward-looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; - Monitoring undrawn credit facilities; - Maintaining credit risk related to financial assets; - Obtaining funding from a variety of sources; - Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and - Comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. 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.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) (d) 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. Net debt Total equity Net debt-to-equity ratio GROUP 2018 S$’000 194,141 189,246 1.03 2017 S$’000 94,033 175,075 0.54 There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the current financial year. (e) 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. 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. The fair value of non-current receivables and borrowings are calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. The discount rates used are based on market rates for similar instruments at the reporting date. The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are assumed to approximate their respective fair values. The Group does not anticipate that the carrying amounts recorded at the balance sheet date would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled. 29. SUBSEQUENT EVENT Subsequent to the financial year end, the Group has proposed to change its presentation currency from SGD to AUD. Following the Group’s listing on the ASX on 22 June 2018, this change will help to provide a clearer understanding of the Group’s financial results and improve comparability of the Group’s performance.

Mr Douglas Chester will be considered independent for the purpose of Rule 704(8) of the Listing Manual of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.

(iv) Each of Resolution Nos 4 to 9 are also included for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 14.5, which provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting. (v) Resolution No. 11, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company from the date of the passing of Ordinary Resolution No. 11 to the date of the next Annual General Meeting or the date by which the next Annual General Meeting of the Company is required by law to be held, whichever is the earlier, to issue shares in the capital of the Company and to make or grant instruments (such as warrants or debentures) convertible into shares, and to issue shares in pursuance of such instruments, up to an amount not exceeding in total 50% of the issued shares (excluding treasury shares and shares (if any) held by a subsidiary) in the capital of the Company, with a sub-limit of 20% of the issued shares (excluding treasury shares and shares (if any) held by a subsidiary) for issues other than on a pro-rata basis to shareholders. Any issue of securities pursuant to Resolution No. 11 will be made subject to the Company’s compliance with ASX Listing Rule requirements including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at any given time. Resolution No. 11 is not a prior approval for the issue of securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. (vi) Resolution No. 12, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company, effective until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or the date by which the next Annual General Meeting of the Company is required by law to be held, whichever is the earlier, to repurchase ordinary shares of the Company by way of on-market purchases or off-market purchases of up to ten per centum (10%) of the total number of issued shares in the capital of the Company at the Maximum Price as defined in the Appendix to the Company’s Letter to Shareholders dated 3 October 2018. (vii) Resolution No. 13 seeks shareholder approval for the adoption of the Civmec PRP in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)), and for all other purposes. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution No. 13 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without shareholder approval in any 12-month period. A summary of the Civmec PRP is set out in the Schedule. Shareholders should note that no Performance Rights have previously been issued under the Civmec PRP. The objectives of the Civmec PRP are to (i) align the interest of participants with the long-term interests of the shareholders of the Company; (ii) retain key employees of whose contributions are essential to the long-term growth and profitability 140 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Company and its subsidiaries (iii) instil loyalty to, and a stronger identification by participants with the long-term prosperity of, the Company and its subsidiaries; (iv) attract potential employees with relevant skills to contribute to the Company and its subsidiaries to create value for shareholders; and (v) to deliver compensation in a manner that drives the long-term performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. Any future issues of Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP or to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. Further details of the Civmec PRP are set out in the Circular to Shareholders dated 3 October 2018. (viii) Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald is a Controlling Shareholder and Executive Chairman. He is responsible for the development and performance of the Group including the areas of safety, strategy and financial performance. Mr Fitzgerald and the Chief Executive Officer were amongst the founders of the Group. Mr Patrick John Tallon is a Controlling Shareholder and Chief Executive Officer. He is responsible for the safety, budgets, management and development of the Group’s operations, setting all Group policies such as those relating to safety, quality and the environment and the improvement of productivity. Mr Tallon and the Executive Chairman were amongst the founders of the Group. The Directors (not including Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald and Mr Patrick John Tallon, who are eligible to participate in, and are therefore interested in the Civmec PRP and have abstained from making any recommendation on the Civmec PRP) believe that both Mr Fitzgerald and Mr Tallon will continue to contribute substantially to the growth of the Group and allowing them to participate in the Civmec PRP will serve to reward as well as to instil in them a commitment to continue to contribute to the growth of the Group. As full time employees of the Group, Mr Fitzgerald and Mr Tallon should also be eligible to participate in the Civmec PRP alongside other Key Senior Executives, and benefit from the Company’s fair and equitable system of remuneration. The Company will seek shareholders’ approval for the actual number of Award Shares and the terms of Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald or Mr Patrick John Tallon or any controlling shareholder or their respective Associates pursuant to the Civmec PRP, in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Manual and the ASX Listing Rules. Further details of the Civmec PRP are set out in the Circular to Shareholders dated 3 October 2018. (ix) ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting: (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000. As outlined above, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A can only be utilised by a company that is an Eligible Entity on the date of the company’s annual general meeting. In the event that on the date of the Annual General Meeting the Company: (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000. then Resolution 16 will not be considered or voted on at the Meeting. A resolution to approve a 10% Placement Capacity cannot then be proposed at any Shareholders meeting held before the Company’s next annual general meeting. However, at each subsequent annual general meeting, the Company may consider whether it is an Eligible Entity and whether it will seek approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the following 12-month period. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 141 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security. Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: CVL). If Shareholders approve Resolution 16, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. In exercising the authority conferred by this Resolution, the Company must also comply with the applicable provisions of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST for the time being in force (unless such compliance has been waived by the SGX-ST). Resolution 16 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 16 for it to be passed. Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 16: (a) Minimum Price The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before: (i) (ii) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section (a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued. (b) Date of Issue The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following: (i) (ii) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid), (10% Placement Capacity Period). (c) Risk of voting dilution Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. If Resolution 16 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table following. The table following shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 18 September 2018. The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity. 142 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 501,000,000 (Current Variable A) DILUTION $0.295 50% DECREASE IN ISSUE PRICE 50,100,000 Shares $0.59 50,100,000 Shares $0.885 50% INCREASE IN ISSUE PRICE 50,100,000 Shares ISSUE PRICE (PER SHARE) Shares issued - 10% voting dilution 751,500,000 (50% increase in Variable A) Shares issued - 10% voting dilution 75,150,000 Shares 75,150,000 Shares 75,150,000 Shares Funds raised $14,795,500 $295,590,000 $44,338,500 Funds raised $22,169,250 $44,338,500 $66,507,750 1,002,000,000 (100% increase in Variable A) Shares issued - 10% voting dilution 100,200,000 Shares 100,200,000 Shares 100,200,000 Shares Funds raised $29,559,000 $59,118,000 $88,677,000 *The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. The table above uses the following assumptions: 1. There are currently 501,000,000 Shares on issue: 2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 September 2018. 3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. 4. 6. 5. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances. 7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. 8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. 9. Shareholders should note that there is a risk that: (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue. (d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes: (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued capital expenditure on the Company’s current assets, general working capital; or (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3. The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 143 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company. The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors: (i) (ii) the purpose of the issue; alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate; (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company; (v) prevailing market conditions; and (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments. (f) No previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A As the Company was admitted to the official list of ASX on 20 June 2018, the Company has not previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. (g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX: (i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and (ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market. Voting Exclusion A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 16. For the purpose of Resolution 16 and explanatory note (ix), the following terms apply: Equity Securities includes a share, a right to a share or option to acquire a share (Option), an Option, a convertible security and any security that ASX decides to classify as an Equity Security. Ordinary Securities has the meaning set out in the ASX Listing Rules. Variable A means ‘A’ as set out in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2). 144 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Notes: (a) Save for members which are nominee companies, a member of the Company shall not be entitled to appoint more than two proxies to attend and vote at the general meeting of the Company.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 147 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (g) Size and Duration The total number of Award Shares which may be delivered pursuant to Performance Rights granted under the Civmec PRP on any date, when added to: (i) (ii) the total number of new Shares allotted and issued and/or to be allotted and issued and issued Shares delivered and/ or to be delivered, pursuant to Performance Rights granted under the Civmec PRP; and the number of new Shares allotted and issued and/or to be allotted and issued and issued Shares delivered and/or to be delivered, in respect of any other options or grants under share option schemes or share schemes adopted by the Company for the time being in force, as the case may be, shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST) of the Company on the date preceding the date of grant of the relevant Performance Right. The maximum limit of 15% will provide for sufficient Shares to support the use of Performance Rights in the Company’s overall long-term incentive and compensation strategy. In addition, it will provide the Company with the means and flexibility to grant Performance Rights as incentive tools in a meaningful and effective manner to encourage staff retention and to align Participants’ interests more closely with those of Shareholders. Furthermore, the aggregate number of Award Shares available to Controlling Shareholders and their Associates shall not exceed 25% of all Award Shares available under the Civmec PRP, and the number of Award Shares available to each Controlling Shareholder or his Associate shall not exceed 10% of all Awards Shares available under the Civmec PRP. The Civmec PRP shall continue in force at the absolute discretion of the Committee, subject to a maximum of 10 years commencing from the date it is adopted by the Company in general meeting, provided always that the Civmec PRP may continue beyond this stipulated period with the approval of Shareholders in general meeting and relevant authorities which may then be required. Notwithstanding the expiry or termination of the Civmec PRP, any Performance Rights granted to Participants prior to such expiry or termination, whether such Performance Rights have been vested (whether fully or partially) or not, will continue to remain valid. (h) Operation Subject to the prevailing legislation and the Listing Manual, the Company will have the flexibility to deliver Award Shares to Participants by way of: (a) an issue of new Shares; and/or (b) the delivery of existing Shares (including treasury shares). New Shares allotted and issued, and existing Shares procured by the Company for transfer, pursuant to the vesting of a Performance Right, shall rank in full for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of the then existing Shares, the record date for which is on or after the relevant vesting date, and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing Shares then in issue. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether the performance condition has been satisfied (whether fully or partially) or exceeded and in making any such determination, the Committee may make reference to the audited results of the Company or the Group (as the case may be), taking into account such factors as the Committee may determine to be relevant, such as changes in accounting methods, taxes and extraordinary events, and further, the Committee shall have the right to amend the performance condition if the Committee decides that a changed performance target would be a fairer measure of performance from the Company’s perspective. 148 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 I NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING In this Schedule, the following definitions apply unless otherwise stated: ‘Associate’ ‘Award Date’ ‘Award Letter’ Associate shall bear the same meaning as set out in the Listing Manual.
