Despite the challenges presented by the onset of the global pandemic, we were resilient, successfully sustaining our operations and delivering reliability and stability in net profit throughout the year. The underlying strength of our business, fortified by our multi-disciplinary self- performance capability, established local supply chain and resourceful and experienced workforce, enabled us to continue to effectively service the market and our clients at a time when many other businesses struggled to continue to operate. This capacity to sustain operations amidst a global disruption of the magnitude of COVID-19, is underpinned by the substantial capital investment we have made in our facilities over recent years. The addition of our new world- class Assembly and Sustainment Hall at Henderson marks the completion of the continuous building program initially conceived at the Company’s inception in 2009. Capable of accommodating significant Australian projects across the resource, infrastructure and defence sectors, it is an integral element in securing the Company’s long-term future. Our Henderson facility, set on 200,000m2 of waterfront land, is now one of the best in the world, offering more than 100,000m2 of usable undercover area. The sheer scale of what we have built, and the state-of-the-art equipment now at our disposal, is unparalleled nationally and matches the best facilities globally. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Revenue for FY2020 was A$391.9 million with Net Profit After Tax of A$17.5 million. Our focus in FY2020 was on improving business profitability and delivering strong operating cash flows. 12 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 S T A T E M E N T With the award of a number of significant projects during the year in the Metals & Minerals and Oil & Gas sectors, together with our ongoing, long-term delivery of the Royal Australian Navy’s Offshore Patrol Vessel program, we finished the year with a very strong Order Book of A$900 million, distributed across our operating divisions. These major projects, which are now in the execution phase, will provide us with a consistent revenue stream as we move into FY2021 and beyond. The completion of the Assembly and Sustainment Hall in Henderson has seen our assets increase by A$78.5 million. Over the period net assets increased to A$263.1million. Strong cash generation from operations will be reinvested into the business to continue to strengthen our strategic asset base. DIVIDENDS The Board of Directors has recommended a cash dividend of A$1.0 cents per share, subject to shareholders’ approval at our Annual General Meeting on 30 October 2020. The full year dividend payment represents a 35% payout ratio and will be paid on 11 December 2020. OUR PEOPLE During FY2020, we maintained our position as a significant employer in our industry. As we approached the end of the year, we had in the region of 2,000 people actively involved in our operational activities across the business. What was most pleasing was our ability to keep people working as the pandemic took hold around the globe. The resilience of our people to adapt to the significant changes to their life, both at home and at work, was commendable. The unwavering commitment of our people to our Never Assume culture, which is the bedrock for how we manage ourselves and support those around us, continues to serve us well through these challenging times. STRATEGY & FUTURE FOCUS With the significant investment in both Henderson and Newcastle over recent years, our forward strategy is firmly on maximising the utilisation of these world- class heavy engineering facilities. Our vertically integrated offering enables us to service projects of all sizes and complexities, with our capacity to provide offsite manufacturing, modular assembly and pre-fitout solutions from our state- of-the-art facilities providing clients with tangible cost and schedule benefits. We offer the market a local manufacturing, construction and maintenance capability, leveraging local supply chains to provide clients with reliability and surety of delivery. This could prove to be critical over the coming period, as access to materials, products and services beyond our shores remains constrained under COVID-19. With a strong order book and a number of significant projects in delivery, we will continue to focus on returning sustained and consistent revenue and profit, supported by our robust systems and processes. We remain committed to providing quality, value-for-money engineering solutions for our clients, whilst maintaining a disciplined approach to capital and overhead management to maximise shareholder returns. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our people for their continued dedication and commitment. We have built a strong and successful business together over the past decade, and I look forward to what the next few years will bring. To our clients, many of whom we have worked with for many years, over many projects, thank you for your continued confidence in our ability to deliver for you safely, efficiently and to the highest quality standard. The many long-term partnerships we have established over the years is testament to your trust in us. Our focus remains, as always, on looking after our people, delivering for our clients and providing a positive return on investment for our valued and loyal shareholders. Yours sincerely James Fitzgerald Executive Chairman Civmec Limited I E X E C U T V E C H A R M A N S ’ I 13 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 I E V T U C E X E F E H C I T R O P E R S R E C F F O ’ I FY2020 has certainly presented challenges beyond what we would normally expect to manage, but I am pleased to say that we have successfully been able to navigate the business through the unchartered waters presented by the onset of COVID-19. While the longer term economic impacts of the pandemic are as yet somewhat unpredictable, from the onset we acted quickly and immediately implemented controls in our facilities and sites to ensure we could continue to operate while many other businesses across the country, and indeed the globe, were forced to temporarily close. As to be expected, the pandemic has had an impact on the way we operate overall, both within our facilities and across our sites, but our people have adapted well to the necessary changes in process and therefore we have managed to minimise the adverse effects, both from a health and wellbeing and financial perspective. Working to support the continued delivery of projects for our clients has been critical, as many sectors of the economy have experienced significant pressure, and therefore we are committed to providing a service to the Australian resource and defence sectors to enable them to continue to operate and contribute to the broader economy. To this end, our local manufacturing capability has provided clients with surety of delivery and ongoing employment for our people. 14 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 I C H E F E X E C U T V E I I ’ O F F C E R S R E P O R T BUSINESS PERFORMANCE During FY2020 our focus was on the successful ongoing delivery of a number of major projects. This includes our significant scope in the delivery of Australia’s largest lithium hydroxide plant being constructed south of Perth, for Albemarle, providing the initial site civil works and fabrication and onsite installation of the plant’s structural, mechanical & piping works. This two-year project, which commenced mid-2019 and is due for completion in 2021, has enabled us to leverage our vertical delivery expertise, with our onsite activities supported by our fabrication capability at Henderson. We have also supported the delivery of BHP’s flagship South Flank iron ore mine in the Pilbara, including the supply, manufacture, trial assembly and surface treatment of components for the project’s rail mounted machines for thyssenkrupp, and, in a separate contract directly with BHP, the supply and assembly of 23 fully equipped ‘smart modules’. During the year, our east coast facility in Newcastle has worked in partnership with our west coast facility in Henderson in the fabrication of key components for these significant projects, utilising both facilities concurrently to maximise output and expedite schedule. Additionally, our Newcastle facility has continued to support the delivery of a number of bridge projects for Transport for NSW and continues to work with the local resources industry, fabricating more than 40 haul pack tray bodies for clients during FY2020. Delivery of the Royal Australian Navy’s SEA 1180 Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) program is ongoing and during the year we continued to prepare and profile cut the steel plates, manufacture pipe spools and supply other items for the first two vessels to be built in South Australia. We also commenced activities for OPV3, the first of 10 OPVs to be built at our facilities in Henderson, Western Australia. Having reached milestones, such as the passing of the critical production readiness review and commencement of construction in March 2020, we are already engaged in block consolidation activities at our new Assembly and Sustainment Hall (ASH). The completion of our new 53,000m2 (usable floor area) Assembly and Sustainment Hall at Henderson has been a significant achievement. The effort and resources required to construct this mega facility, while maintaining normal operations, cannot be underestimated, noting the value of this internal building project is not represented in our annual revenue despite the fact that is was a high value project overall. Set to be one of the most efficient and innovative in the world, our dedicated onsite team worked tirelessly to complete the construction to support the OPV delivery schedule. The 70 metre high structure is the largest undercover modularisation and maintenance facility in Australia, significantly enhancing our capacity and capability to support the construction and maintenance of large vessels, as well as complex, integrated modules for the resource sectors. The value of new project and contract extensions awarded in FY2020 was A$471.4 million, comprising new contracts and additional scope in Oil & Gas (A$40.6m), Metals & Minerals, including maintenance and specialist refractory works (A$420.6m), and Defence & Infrastructure (A$10.2m). A number of significant projects were awarded during FY2020 that carry forward into FY2021, strengthening our position for the coming year. In the Oil & Gas sector, our specialist subsea capability has enabled us to secure projects in the further development of Chevron’s Gorgon LNG plant, including for the fabrication of a subsea tie-in, jumper spools, spreader beams and buckle initiators. We were also awarded a contract to deliver an interconnector module, stair tower module and piping spools and skids for Woodside’s Pluto LNG project. With the diversification within our maintenance division, earlier in the year our team successfully delivered the Domgas facility turnaround for Chevron’s Gorgon LNG project on Barrow Island. 15 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 I E V T U C E X E F E H C I We have also carried out site activities for Santos on the Varanus Island compression project. These clients require an extremely high-quality product, and we are pleased that they continue to choose us to meet that demand. New work won in the Metals & Minerals sector during the year included significant scope in the delivery of Fortescue’s new Eliwana mine being constructed in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, with this vertical package including fabrication in Henderson and onsite civil works and structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation installation. We also secured several Run-of-Mine (ROM) packages with Roy Hill and a vertical package with Alcoa for delivery of the overland conveyor works at their Willowdale mine. We finished FY2020 with the award of a substantial scope of work in the further development of Rio Tinto’s Mesa A operational hub in the Robe Valley, with award of full vertical delivery of the Mesa A Wet Plant in the Pilbara. As with our Oil & Gas and Defence & Infrastructure clients, our Metals & Minerals clients continue to see value in our service offering with the award of new contracts, and we appreciate their continued support. OUR PEOPLE With a focus on future-proofing our workforce, we have continued to invest in graduate and apprenticeship programs, collaborating with universities, TAFE and high schools. This included the successful launch of our Graduate Engineering Program in January. The impetus of this T R O P E R S R E C F F O ’ I 16 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 I C H E F E X E C U T V E I I ’ O F F C E R S R E P O R T has seen a 50% increase in the number of apprentices, graduates and trainees across our operations. performance capability to provide delivery solutions for either the entire project or separable portions. A testament to the quality of our programs, four of our talented young apprentices received nominations in their categories at the 2019 Master Builders Apprentice of the Year Awards in November and managed to secure several first place awards. We were also extremely pleased to receive the Skill Hire Host Trainer of the Year Award at this event. In addition to nurturing young people joining the business, we have continued to provide our people with sustainable career pathways, providing leadership training and focusing on succession planning. A significant number of our business leaders have now undertaken our LEAD Program, which includes four nationally accredited units – Apply Risk Management Processes; Communicate Information; Supervise On-site Operations; and Show Leadership – delivered through our internal Registered Training Organisation. STRATEGY & FUTURE FOCUS Our forward focus and underlying strategic intent is to continue to return reliable revenue and profit, as we have done in FY2020. This will be achieved by maximising the utilisation of the significant facilities and plant and equipment we have invested in at both Henderson and Newcastle over recent years. We will continue to leverage our vertically integrated capability to provide clients with a single delivery solution, and given the current global uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, our substantial manufacturing capability, robust local supply chain and resourceful and committed workforce places us in good stead for the future. Our focus in recent years on establishing consistent and recurring revenue streams is now coming to the fore, with a solid, established client base providing opportunities across manufacturing, construction and maintenance. With the award of a number of resource projects in FY2020 that carry through well into FY2021, our focus is on ensuring exceptional delivery of these projects for our clients. We will continue to pursue new construction and expansion projects that leverage our multi-disciplinary, self- Our maintenance division has grown considerably in capability over the past couple of years. We have seen, however, clients minimise and defer some planned maintenance activities in response to COVID-19. With these clients taking prudent steps to minimise the number of personnel mobilising to their sites at any one time, some of their planned works are reduced or postponed, but not cancelled. As a result of this, and the fact that the maintenance still needs to be carried out for operational continuity, we envisage there could be increased activity in FY2021, depending on the future effect that COVID-19 has on the regions where these plants are located. As the OPV program continues to unfold, our focus remains on ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency within our shipbuilding capability. This long-term project will provide sustained revenue until 2029 and the Federal Government’s commitment to undertake its minor naval vessel continuous build program and sustainment of these vessels at Henderson provides further construction and through- life support opportunities going forward. I take this opportunity to thank our resilient workforce, for their flexibility and willingness to adapt to changes in the way we work and operate so that we can continue to provide our clients with the quality and service Civmec is renowned for. The global pandemic has certainly brought challenges to FY2020 that will carry into FY2021, but I know we have the right people, with the right attitude, to get the job done. To our clients, thank you for your enduring trust in us. I feel we have made our best efforts to be reliable and resourceful over the past 12 months to ensure we deliver to your needs, and we look forward to continuing to support you in your endeavours going forward. Yours sincerely Patrick Tallon Chief Executive Officer Civmec Limited 17 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 OUR OPERATING SECTORS OIL & GAS METALS & MINERALS DEFENCE & INFRASTRUCTURE CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 19 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 202002Chevron’s Gorgon LNG Project Pluto LNG Project S A G & L O I A$14m A$41m Annual revenue for FY2020 in new contract awards and extensions During FY2020, we noticed a reasonable upsurge in engineering activity in the Australian Oil & Gas sector, which transpired into opportunities for us to benefit from a more buoyant market. We have delivered numerous specialist subsea projects from our Henderson facility over recent years, including for the Gorgon, Wheatstone and Prelude LNG projects, producing high quality, precision components to the exacting standards required by the Oil & Gas sector. Having been a delivery partner for the Gorgon LNG project since our first project award in late 2010, we were awarded two packages in FY2020 to support the delivery of the Gorgon Stage Two (GS2) project. GS2 includes the expansion of the subsea gas gathering network required to maintain long-term natural gas supply to the 15.6 million tonne per annum LNG plant and domestic gas plant on Barrow Island off the north-west coast of Western Australia. We are applying our specialist subsea capability to deliver a subsea tie-in and jumper spools for the project, on behalf of TechnipFMC. 20 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 The package also comprises the supply, fabrication and testing of 800 tonnes of spreader beams. We have also been awarded scope on the project from Allseas, fabricating and assembling 15 buckle initiators, weighing approximately 55 tonnes each, including the application of a subsea painting system and Factory Acceptance Testing. During the year, we delivered fabrication and assembly work for Santos at our Henderson facility, which was further extended with the opportunity to undertake onsite activities at Varanus Island, with the award of the contract for the completion of the civil works and underground services for the Varanus Island Compression Project. We are familiar with the project and very remote island location, as we have previously been engaged in turnaround activities on the island. Most recently, we have been awarded a contract with Woodside, being managed by Worley, to supply, fabricate, surface treat, assemble, test and deliver an interconnector module, stair tower module and piping spools and skids, for Woodside’s Pluto LNG project. The scope of work will be completed in late 2020. Our maintenance division utilised their specialist maintenance turnaround services when they successfully performed the delivery of the first planned turnaround of a key plant area on Chevron’s Gorgon LNG facility at Barrow Island. The activity was completed ahead of schedule and below budget for this long-term client, further strengthening our relationship with them. With ongoing investment in LNG, including expansion and life extension projects for existing plants, in addition to new developments, we will continue to leverage our extensive capability to service the Oil & Gas sector. In particular, our past experience and specialist capability to support the delivery of subsea projects, ensures we are well positioned to optimise opportunities as they come to market. We are definitely considered to be a very capable contractor for an Australian build option due to the high quality and surety of delivery we provide.

The facility, which will be operated by Phoenix International under a sub-lease arrangement with Civmec, will support the Royal Australian Navy’s submarine fleet. This development will further support the capacity within the AMC and reinforce the AMC’s significance as a world-class centre for excellence. The official sod turning ceremony for the SRS facility was undertaken in June. The facility will be constructed to house a rapid launch and recovery system, hyperbaric treatment unit, and maintenance training and testing infrastructure, with a 7-metre deep pool. It will be located close to the AMC’s Common User Facility (CUF), with proximity to the CUF enabling rapid mobilisation in the event of a disabled submarine in the region. The Assembly and Sustainment Hall delivers a new resource to the Australian maritime landscape, significantly enhancing the capability of our Henderson facility. At 18-storeys (70 metres) high, it is the largest undercover modularisation and maintenance facility in Australia, with the capacity to house large vessels, including complete Air Warfare Destroyers, Frigates and Offshore Patrol Vessels, for construction or maintenance, as well as large integrated modules for the Oil & Gas and Metals & Minerals sectors. Containing 20 overhead travelling cranes, the central hall offers an impressive 400 tonne lifting capacity. The 60 metre ocean-facing sliding doors are amongst the largest in the world, able to accommodate the transfer of vessels and large modularised structures. The facility has over 1.2 million cubic metres of internal space, which is equivalent to an area that could house 12,000 passenger buses. An estimated total of 5,100 tonnes of steel and 21,000m³ of concrete was required to complete the build. The Assembly and Sustainment Hall will facilitate our ongoing delivery of the Royal Australian Navy’s Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) program, in contract with Luerssen Australia. Under the program, which commenced in late 2018 and will see the delivery of 12 OPVs, the preparation and profile cutting of steel plates for the first two vessels built in South Australia was undertaken at Henderson. With completion of our new facility, the fabrication and consolidation of the remaining 10 vessels will be undertaken in Western Australia. The processing and welding of steel for OPV3 is ongoing at Henderson, with the consolidation of the first of 26 blocks that comprise an OPV marking the commencement of what will be a continuous process for all 10 OPVs to be built at Henderson over the coming years. Our strategic shipbuilding facilities at Henderson are located in a designated shipbuilding and sustainment precinct and will support the Federal Government’s long-term Naval Shipbuilding Plan, focused on building a sustainable Australian naval shipbuilding and sustainment industry.

HEALTH & SAFETY The health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is a critically important aspect of our business and this drives our sustainable success. The focus on our people has helped to continually develop a strong safety culture, which is built on the principles of our Never Assume program that forms the framework upon which the behavioural expectations of our people is based. We encourage our people to lead by example, look out for themselves and those around them and adopt a continual improvement focus, so we are always seeking opportunities to innovate and learn from our experience. Our enhanced reward and recognition program has and will continue to play a vital role in rewarding positive safety behaviours and building and shaping our safety culture across the business. During the year, we aligned our health and safety system and processes to the new ISO 45001:2018 standard, with the alignment audit undertaken at the end of 2019 and certification subsequently awarded. Alignment to the new international standard will ensure our health and safety system remains current, industry leading and aligned with best-practice. In October 2019, we also had our Federal Safety Accreditation under the Australian Government building and construction WHS Accreditation Scheme renewed for a further three years. Through the year, there has been ongoing continual improvement in our health and safety management system, supported by ongoing commitment from our executive, senior management and site-based leaders. The ongoing implementation of the LEAD training program has seen a positive improvement in site leadership and the level of accountability and ownership for positive safety outcomes. The course covers the key leadership elements of risk management, communication, supervising onsite operations and leadership. Since the course commenced in 2019, over 300 leaders have attended, with positive feedback on the content, delivery and relevance to the work they are undertaking. The program is delivered through our Registered Training Organisation and is aligned to our company health and safety management system. During FY2020, we embedded a number of safety initiatives to further improve our health and safety system to ultimately drive sustained improvement in safety performance. The standardisation of the pre-start process using a templated visual board has resulted in improved communication and interaction across our operations. These boards have been adapted to meet the specific requirements of our business and client requirements, with some clients adopting them for use across their projects as a best-practice model. The online induction platforms have been implemented successfully at a corporate level and for all current project sites and facilities, complemented by a face-to-face interactive site orientation that is completed upon the first day on site. Our six Critical Safety Essentials which form the foundation of how we operate, continue to be embedded in our work planning, communication and risk management processes. Throughout the year, there was an increased focus on improving HSE communications throughout the business, primarily on HSE lessons learnt and positive engineering solutions to minimise or eliminate critical safety risks. This includes the use of robotics in the refractory demolition process, undertaking removal works remotely, safely controlled from outside the vessel, along with better and 34 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 of precautionary measures, to minimise the potential spread of the virus. Our immediate concern was focused on implementing stringent controls in our workshop and main office facilities, as these areas contain large numbers of workers all operating in close proximity to each other and therefore posing a significant risk of rapid spread should anyone contract the virus. We also felt that we needed to ensure the manufacturing operations remained as close as possible to normal so we could continue to service our sites and clients to avoid a ripple effect on operations. The measures implemented included applying strict social distancing measures in work areas, in vehicles and lunch rooms; promoting regular hand washing; increased regular cleaning of offices, lunch rooms, equipment and high use areas; temperature checking at our corporate office, workshops and project sites; permitting only essential visitors to our facilities and sites; reduction in personnel movement between offices, floors and workshop bays; and avoidance of face- to-face meetings, with the increased use of electronic platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Skype. Going forward, we will continue to adapt our work practices to meet the evolving challenges presented by the pandemic and ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and the communities in which we operate. Pre-start visual board used on site more efficient types of formwork to minimise manual handling, rigging and lifting and hand injuries. These innovative workplace methods were created by the project teams and not only provided high level safety improvements, but also increased efficiency and sustainable business improvements. Moving forward, we will continue to build on our positive safety culture, enhance our management system, and focus on improved planning and risk reduction measures, to deliver long-term and sustainable health and safety solutions for our people, clients and delivery partners.

Our environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001:2015, the internationally recognised standard for environmental management, and we also hold platinum status with the Australian Steel Institute Environmental Sustainability Charter. We are committed to minimising our impact on the environment, implementing environmental best-practice at our fabrication and assembly facilities in Henderson and Newcastle and across our project sites. Along with our established controls, we continue to seek new opportunities to improve our environmental performance, focused on resource and energy efficiency. Our continuous improvement strategy is based on: • • • Measuring and monitoring all environmental aspects across the business in order to find improvement opportunities, including monitoring and reviewing our inputs (energy, water, materials) and outputs (waste and emissions). Continuing to expand and improve our training materials and programs to communicate environmental expectations and requirements and improve environmental awareness. Further developing our waste management system by reducing general waste going to landfill and increasing our recycling rates. • Investing in renewable energy. 36 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Civtrac is our proprietary, web-based integrated business management, quality and tracking system, managing all aspects of project delivery, including document control, project reporting and quality compliance, enabling live project data to be recorded and facilitating the seamless flow from fabrication through to onsite installation and commissioning. During the year, our Quality team ensured our system continues to meet certification requirements and industry best-practice, with the ongoing review and refinement of our processes and procedures to drive continuous improvement. QUALITY Providing quality products and project outcomes for our clients continues to be a fundamental metric of success. Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, the internationally recognised standard for quality management.

We also hold CC3 certification to the requirements of AS/NZS 5131:2016 ‘Structural Steelwork - Fabrication and Erection’. OUR PEOPLE During FY2020, we faced the challenges presented by COVID-19 head-on. Our priority was to keep our people employed and maintain a local, reliable service offering for our clients. Our people are the heart of our business. We are proud to say that many of them have been with us since inception. Our focus remains steadfastly on providing meaningful pathways to enable our people to continue to develop and grow their career with us. As a significant employer in our industry, across a broad spectrum of trades and disciplines, we also understand the important role we play in supporting the development of the next generation of tradespeople and industry professionals.

This represents a significant increase of 50% compared to FY2019. Our apprentices include fabrication (boilermakers and welders), bricklayers, mechanical and electrical trades, and our trainees provide functional support in business administration, human resources and logistics. Four of our talented young apprentices received nominations in their categories at the 2019 Master Builders Apprentice of the Year Awards in November and between them secured several overall winner awards. We were also extremely pleased to receive the Skill Hire Host Trainer of the Year Award at this event. With our HSE Graduate Program successfully upskilling and developing many HSE professionals since it was established in 2018, we have now extended the opportunity for graduates to join the business with the launch of our Graduate Engineering Program in January 2020. The extraordinary benefit of this program for these young professionals is that, given our multi-disciplined, multi-sector operations, they get to deal with a very wide range of different experiences and challenges that gives them the rounded training they would struggle to achieve in other organisations. We continue to work in collaboration with local universities to ensure we attract quality candidates into these programs. We are also continuing to work with South Metropolitan TAFE and local high schools for our school-based traineeship program, which was introduced in 2019. This program provides the opportunity for local students completing Year 10, 11 or 12 to undertake work experience through the year at our Henderson facility, whilst continuing their school education. Initially focused on students interested in the Metal Fabrication trades, this year we have expanded the program to provide school- based apprenticeships within the heavy plant mechanics and logistics fields. On completion of their studies and traineeship, students are considered for an opportunity to join our apprenticeship program. Civmec CEO Pat Tallon with some engineering graduates TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Our ongoing commitment to career development and our succession planning strategy is supported by our robust in- house training capability, delivered through our internal Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and overseen by a full-time Learning and Development Manager. A significant number of business leaders undertook our leadership training program, LEAD, during the year. This program, which was launched in 2019, provides targeted training across four nationally accredited units – Apply Risk Management Processes; Communicate Information; Supervise On-site Operations; and Show Leadership. During the year, we also broadened the scope of training provided by our RTO, adding units to complement the LEAD Program and the business’ HSE framework, including: • Lead initial response to and investigate WHS incidents • Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation • Provide basic emergency life support • Provide first aid • Gas test atmospheres • Operate as part of an emergency control organisation • Lead an emergency control organisation • Perform rescue from a live LV panel • Operate Fire Fighting equipment With the inclusion of these units, we can now internally provide First Aid training. Overall, our RTO offers skills and competency-based training across six Certificate and Diploma qualifications, 20 skill sets and 43 units of competence. 38 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 DIVERSITY Diversity in our workforce, across age, gender and ethnicity, is fundamental to cultivating a balanced and inclusive culture. It brings great benefit to the business, providing varied perspective and experience. While we can more easily achieve balanced gender participation in corporate roles, our focus continues to be on providing opportunities for female participation in traditionally male-dominated disciplines across operations and project delivery. With our efforts directed at the grass- roots level, we have a number of female pre-apprentices/apprentices and trainees working across the business. One of these is Kayla Roemer-Hanisch, who first joined us in a work experience placement in 2018. In 2019, Kayla was our internship placement under the Shipbuilding Education and Apprenticeship (SEA) program, aimed at building the skills needed for Australia’s multi-billion dollar naval shipbuilding industry. Progressing through these stages, today Kayla is a member of our Offshore Patrol Vessel construction team, in the role of Technical Clerk. Our ongoing commitment to building sustainable relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) people and their communities remains a priority. We continue to provide employment and training opportunities for ATSI people across our business, again focused at the grass- roots level, with 9% of participants in our apprenticeship program of ATSI descent. We are also committed to utilising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses for supply and subcontract opportunities. We are seeing this as an increased area of engagement and fulfilment of commitment, as more ATSI businesses are establishing and gaining experience in successfully delivering on contractual requirements.

The Company Secretaries work closely with the Chairman to manage the flow of information between the Board, its committees and senior management across the Company. 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, appoint independent professionals to render advice. 56 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Board Composition and Guidance Principle 2: The Board has an appropriate level of independence and diversity of thought and background in its composition to enable it to make decisions in the best interests of the company. Provision 2.1 An ‘independent’ director is one who is independent in conduct, character and judgement, and has no relationship with the company, its related corporations, its substantial shareholders or its officers that could interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of the director’s independent business judgement in the best interests of the company. The independence of each Director is reviewed annually by the Nominating Committee (‘NC’) in accordance with the Code’s definition of independence. Each Independent Director is required to declare their independence by duly completing and submitting a ‘Confirmation of Independence’ form. The declaration requires each Director to assess whether they consider themselves independent and not having any of the relationships identified in the Code. Each Director is required to declare any circumstances in which they may be considered non-independent. The NC reviews the Confirmation of Independence to determine whether a Director is independent. The NC also 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, namely Mr Chong Teck Sin, Mr Wong Fook Choy Sunny and Mr Douglas Owen Chester, are independent. Provision 2.2 Independent directors make up a majority of the Board where the Chairman is not independent 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 make up half of the Board. No individual, or group of individuals, dominates the Board’s decision-making as half of the Board consist of Independent Directors. The Company does not have Independent Directors make up a majority of the Board where the current Chairman is not independent. Board diversity of thought and professional background of Directors brings a range of longer term benefits to the Company more than a majority number 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. 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 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. Provision 2.3 Non-executive directors make up a majority of 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 make up half of the Board. While Non-Executive Directors do not make up a majority of the Board, the Board considers the management and oversight function with Executive Directors heavily involved in management activities while Non-Executive Directors exercise oversight role brings a range of longer term benefits to the Company more than a majority number of Non-Executive Directors. Diversity of thought and professional background of Directors allow decisions to be made in the best interest of the Company. 57 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Board Composition and Guidance (continued) Principle 2: (continued) Provision 2.3: (continued) The Non-Executive Directors provide constructive review and assist the Board to facilitate and develop proposals on strategy and monitor the performance of the senior management in meeting agreed objectives. The Non-Executive Directors have full access to and co-operation from the Company’s senior management and officers. They have full discretion to have separate meetings without the presence of senior management and to invite any Directors or officers to the meetings as and when warranted. Provision 2.4 The Board and board committees are of an appropriate size, and comprise directors who as a group provide the appropriate balance and mix of skills, knowledge, experience, and other aspects of diversity such as gender and age, so as to avoid groupthink and foster constructive debate. The board diversity policy and progress made towards implementing the board diversity policy, including objectives, are disclosed in the company’s annual report. The Board, in concurrence with the Nominating Committee (‘NC’), is of the view that the current Board and the Board Committees comprise 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 4 100% 100% 100% 100% 67% Number of Directors Proportion of Board 6 0 100% 0 The Company values diversity and equal opportunity and has various policies in place (which includes the diversity policy, equal opportunity policy, and aboriginal peoples policy, that are available on its corporate website) to ensure that its Board, senior management and 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. Nevertheless, the Company endeavours to include further additional attributes when there is a need to bring in fresh perspectives and enhancements. The composition and renewal of the Board, including the need for progressive refreshing of the Board, is reviewed on an annual basis by the NC to ensure that the Board has the appropriate balance and mix of skills, knowledge, expertise, experience and other aspects of diversity such as gender and age, so as to avoid group think and foster constructive debate and possesses the necessary competencies for effective decision making. The Company’s annual Sustainability Report clearly articulates the Company’s strategy, targets, performance and future focus in relation to diversity. 58 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Board Composition and Guidance (continued) Principle 2: (continued) Provision 2.5 Non-executive directors and/or independent Directors, led by the independent Chairman or other independent director as appropriate, meet regularly without the presence of Management. The chairman of such meetings provides feedback to the Board and/or Chairman as appropriate. 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 senior 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. To facilitate an effective review of the senior management, the Non-Executive Directors meet as and when necessary and at least once a year with Auditors without the presence of the senior management. The Board and senior 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 senior management on its assumptions and proposals. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Principle 3: There is a clear division of responsibilities between the leadership of the Board and Management, and no one individual has unfettered powers of decision-making. Provision 3.1 The Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’) are separate persons to ensure an 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 Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are not related. Provision 3.2 The Board establishes and sets out in writing the division of responsibilities between the Chairman and the CEO. 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. 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. Provision 3.3 The Board has a lead independent director to provide leadership in situations where the Chairman is conflicted, and especially when the Chairman is not independent. The lead independent director is available to shareholders where they have concerns and for which contact through the normal channels of communication with the Chairman or Management are inappropriate or inadequate. 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. In addition, all the Board Committees are led and solely comprise of Independent Directors. 59 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Board Membership Principle 4: The Board has a formal and transparent process for the appointment and re-appointment of directors, taking into account the need for progressive renewal of the Board. Provision 4.1 The Board establishes a Nominating Committee (‘NC’) to make recommendations to the Board on relevant matters relating to: (a) the review of succession plans for directors, in particular the appointment and/or replacement of the Chairman, the CEO and key management personnel; (b) the process and criteria for evaluation of the performance of the Board, its board committees and directors; (c) the review of training and professional development programmes for the Board and its directors; and (d) the appointment and re-appointment of directors (including alternate directors, if any). The Company had established an NC to make recommendations to the Board on all board appointments. The formal terms of reference of the NC are to: • nominate senior management personnel, 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; • assess the performance of the Board annually as a whole and the individual contribution of each Director and senior management personnel to the effectiveness of the Board; • • review and recommend succession plans for Directors and senior management, in particular the Executive Chairman and the CEO; and review and recommend training and professional development programmes for the Board and senior management personnel. The Company does not have a practice of appointing alternate Directors. During the reporting period of the year, the NC has: • • • • • reviewed the structure, size and composition of the Board and Board Committees; reviewed the independence of Directors; reviewed and undertaken the process for evaluating the Board, individual Directors, and senior management personnel performance; reviewed results of performance evaluation and provided feedback to the Chairman and Board Committees; reviewed the need for progressive refreshing of the Board and provided feedback to the Chairman and Board Committees; • reviewed succession planning for the Chairman, CEO and senior management personnel and notified the Board; and • discussed information required to be reported under the 2018 Code or Listing Manual. 60 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Board Membership (continued) Principle 4 (continued) Provision 4.2 The NC comprises at least three directors, the majority of whom, including the NC Chairman, are independent. The lead independent director, if any, is a member of the NC. 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 NC Chairman Member and Lead Independent Director Member Provision 4.3 The company discloses the process for the selection, appointment and re-appointment of directors to the Board, including the criteria used to identify and evaluate potential new directors and channels used in searching for appropriate candidates in the company’s annual report. The process for the selection and appointment (or re-appointment) of 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 the Board, prepares a description of the role and the essential and desirable competencies for a particular appointment (or re-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 Provision 4.4 The NC determines annually, and as and when circumstances require, if a director is independent, having regard to the circumstances set forth in Provision 2.1. Directors disclose their relationships with the company, its related corporations, its substantial shareholders or its officers, if any, which may affect their independence, to the Board. If the Board, having taken into account the views of the NC, determines that such directors are independent notwithstanding the existence of such relationships, the company discloses the relationships and its reasons in its annual report. The independence of each Director is reviewed annually by the Nominating Committee (‘NC’) in accordance with the Code’s definition of independence. Each Independent Director is required to declare their independence by duly completing and submitting a ‘Confirmation of Independence’ form. The declaration requires each Director to assess whether they consider themselves independent and not having any of the relationships identified in the Code. Each Director is required to declare any circumstances in which they may be considered non-independent. The NC reviews the Confirmation of Independence to determine whether a Director is independent. The NC also 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 namely Mr Chong Teck Sin, Mr Wong Fook Choy Sunny and Mr Douglas Owen Chester, are independent. 61 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Board Membership (continued) Principle 4 (continued) Provision 4.5 The NC ensures that new directors are aware of their duties and obligations. The NC also decides if a director is able to and has been adequately carrying out his or her duties as a director of the company. The company discloses in its annual report the listed company directorships and principal commitments of each director, and where a director holds a significant number of such directorships and commitments, it provides the NC’s and Board’s reasoned assessment of the ability of the director to diligently discharge his or her duties The dates of Director’s initial appointment, last re-election and their directorships are set out below: Name of Director James Finbarr Fitzgerald Patrick John Tallon Kevin James Deery Chong Teck Sin Date of Initial Appointment 27 Mar 2012 27 Mar 2012 27 Mar 2012 27 Mar 2012 Date of Last Re-election 29 Oct 2019 29 Oct 2019 29 Oct 2019 29 Oct 2019 Wong Fook Choy Sunny 27 Mar 2012 29 Oct 2019 Present Directorships in Listed Companies - Past Directorships in Listed Companies(2) - - - Changan Minsheng APLL Logistics Co., Ltd(1) InnoTeck Limited AIMS APAC REITS Management Limited Mencast Holdings Ltd Excelpoint Technology Ltd InnoTeck Limited - - AVIC International Maritime Holdings Limited KTL Global Ltd Kim Heng Offshore & Marine Holdings Limited Douglas Owen Chester 2 Nov 2012 29 Oct 2019 - Notes: (1) Listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange (2) Past directorships within the past 3 years 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 four (4) 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 FY2020 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. 62 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Board Performance Principle 5: The Board undertakes a formal annual assessment of its effectiveness as a whole, and that of each of its board committees and individual directors. Provision 5.1 The NC recommends for the Board’s approval the objective performance criteria and process for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, and of each board committee separately, as well as the contribution by the Chairman and each individual director to the Board. 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. Provision 5.2 The company discloses in its annual report how the assessments of the Board, its board committees and each director have been conducted, including the identity of any external facilitator and its connection, if any, with the company or any of its directors 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, senior 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, 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 the 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 FY2020 consistent with this process and determined that all Directors have 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 FY2020. Remuneration Matters Principle 6: The Board has a formal and transparent procedure for developing policies on director and executive remuneration, and for fixing the remuneration packages of individual directors and key management personnel. No director is involved in deciding his or her own remuneration. Provision 6.1 The Board establishes a Remuneration Committee (‘RC’) to review and make recommendations to the Board on: (a) a framework of remuneration for the Board and key management personnel; and (b) the specific remuneration packages for each director as well as for the key management personnel. The Company has established a Remuneration Committee (RC) to make recommendations to the Board on remuneration packages of individual Directors and key senior management personnel. 63 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Remuneration Matters (continued) Principle 6 (continued) Provision 6.1 (continued) The formal terms of reference of the RC, are to: • recommend to the Board a framework of remuneration for the Directors and key senior 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. Provision 6.2 The RC comprises at least three directors. All members of the RC are Non-Executive Directors, the majority of whom, including the RC Chairman, are independent. The RC comprises of three (3) members, all of whom including the RC Chairman are Independent Non-Executive Directors: Mr Wong Fook Choy Sunny Mr Chong Teck Sin Mr Douglas Owen Chester RC Chairman Member and Lead Independent Director Member Provision 6.3 The RC considers all aspects of remuneration, including termination terms, to ensure they are fair. The RC has established a framework of remuneration for the Board and key senior 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’), the Civmec Limited Performance Share Plan (‘CPSP’) and the Civmec Limited Performance Rights Plan (‘CPRP’) upon the terms of reference as defined in the CESOS, CPSP and CPRP. The CESOS, CPSP and CPRP were established on 27 March 2012, 25 October 2012 and 25 October 2018 respectively, with a 10-year tenure commencing on the establishment date. The Company has a procedure that governs the Directors and senior management personnel dealing in securities trading. The securities trading procedure reflects the Corporations Act 2001 prohibition on senior management personnel and their closely related parties from hedging the senior management personnel’s incentive remuneration. The senior management personnel, and their immediate family and controlled entities are prohibited from entering into any arrangement that would have the effect of limiting the senior management personnel’s exposure to risk relating to an element of the senior management personnel’s remuneration that is unvested, or is vested but remains subject to a holding lock. 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. 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 senior 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 senior management personnel in the event of such exceptional circumstances of breach of fiduciary duty. 64 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Remuneration Matters (continued) Principle 6 (continued) Provision 6.3 (continued) During the reporting period of the year, the RC has: • • • • reviewed and approved remuneration for Executives which includes salary, Short Term and Long Term incentives; reviewed benchmarking of fees for Directors; reviewed the remuneration packages of employees in the Group which includes salary adjustments and bonus; and reviewed the remuneration package of the Executive Directors and CEO which includes salary, Short Term and Long Term incentives. Provision 6.4 The company discloses the engagement of any remuneration consultants and their independence in the company’s annual report. 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. Level and Mix Remuneration Principle 7: The level and structure of remuneration of the Board and key management personnel are appropriate and proportionate to the sustained performance and value creation of the company, taking into account the strategic objectives of the company. Provision 7.1 A significant and appropriate proportion of executive directors’ and key management personnel’s remuneration is structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance. Performance-related remuneration is aligned with the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders and promotes the long-term success of the company. Executive Directors and key senior 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 Group. In addition, short- term and long-term incentives, such as the CESOS, CPSP and CPRP, are in place to strengthen the pay-for-performance framework by rewarding and recognising the key executives’ contributions to the growth of the Group. 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. During FY2020, no Share Options under the CESOS were granted, as required under the ASX Listing Rules. Refer to the Directors’ Statement for details of Performance Rights granted to Executive Directors and key senior management personnel. 65 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Level and Mix Remuneration (continued) Principle 7 (continued) Provision 7.2 The remuneration of non-executive directors is appropriate to the level of contribution, taking into account factors such as effort, time spent, and responsibilities. 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 the Audit Committee Other Independent Director Annual Fees (S$) 84,000 73,500 Provision 7.3 Remuneration is appropriate to attract, retain and motivate the directors to provide good stewardship of the company and key management personnel to successfully manage the company for the long term. 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. 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. Pursuant to Article 118 of the Company’s Constitution, all the Directors (including Independent Directors) are required to retire from office at every AGM of the Company, meaning that the Independent Directors are appointed for a one year term when elected. The remuneration packages of the Executive Directors and the key senior management personnel are based on service agreements and their remuneration is determined having due regard to the performance of the individuals, the Group as well as market trends. Principle 8: The company is transparent on its remuneration policies, level and mix of remuneration, the procedure for setting remuneration, and the relationships between remuneration, performance and value creation. Provision 8.1 The company discloses in its annual report the policy and criteria for setting remuneration, as well as names, amounts and breakdown of remuneration of: (a) each individual director and the CEO; and (b) at least the top five key management personnel (who are not directors or the CEO) in bands no wider than S$250,000 and in aggregate the total remuneration paid to these key management personnel. For competitive reasons and the sensitive nature of such information, the Board is of the opinion that it is in the best interests of the Company to not disclose remuneration of each individual Director for the year ended 30 June 2020. Instead, the Company discloses the bands of remuneration in the following tables to avoid such information being exploited by competitors and to maintain personal confidentiality on remuneration matters: 66 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Level and Mix Remuneration (continued) Principle 8 (continued) Provision 8.1 (continued) Name of Director A$500,000 to A$749,999 James Finbarr Fitzgerald Patrick John Tallon Kevin James Deery Below A$250,000 Chong Teck Sin Douglas Owen Chester Wong Fook Choy Sunny For the year ended 30 June 2020 Salary Bonus Directors’ Fees Allowances and Other Benefits 93% 94% 93% - - - - - - - - - - - - 100% 100% 100% 7% 6% 7% - - - Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Details of remuneration paid to key senior management personnel (who are not Directors of the Company) of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 are set out below: For the year ended 30 June 2020 Name of Key Executive Designation Salary Bonus A$250,000 to A$499,999 Rodney Bowes Adam Goldsmith Mylon Manusiu David Power Charles Sweeney Executive Group Manager Proposals Executive Group Manager Operational Support Executive General Manager Maintenance Executive General Manager Manufacturing Executive General Manager Construction 88% 89% 60% 89% 90% 0% 0% 36% 0% 0% Allowances and Other Benefits 12% 11% 4% 11% 10% Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% The annual aggregate remuneration paid to all the above-mentioned Directors and key senior management personnel of the Group is A$4,405,000 (2019: A$4,172,000) in FY2020. The procedures for developing remuneration policies and for fixing the remuneration packages of individual Directors have been set out under principle 6 of the Corporate Governance Report above. The relationships between the remuneration of the Board and key senior management personnel and the performance and value creation of the Company have been set out under principle 6 of the Corporate Governance Report above. 67 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Level and Mix Remuneration (continued) Principle 8 (continued) Provision 8.2 The company discloses the names and remuneration of employees who are substantial shareholders of the company, or are immediate family members of a director, the CEO or a substantial shareholder of the company, and whose remuneration exceeds S$100,000 during the year, in bands no wider than S$100,000, in its annual report.

Provision 8.3 The company discloses in its annual report all forms of remuneration and other payments and benefits, paid by the company and its subsidiaries to directors and key management personnel of the company. It also discloses details of employee share schemes. More details in relation to the CESOS, CPSP and CPRP can be found in the ‘Directors’ Statement’ in the ‘Financials’ section of the Annual Report. Risk Management and Internal Controls Principle 9: The Board is responsible for the governance of risk and ensures that Management maintains a sound system of risk management and internal controls, to safeguard the interests of the company and its shareholders. Provision 9.1 The Board determines the nature and extent of the significant risks which the company is willing to take in achieving its strategic objectives and value creation.

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 recommendations 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 pla ns 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 Company 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. 69 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 30 JUNE 2020 Risk Management and Internal Controls (continued) Principle 9 (continued) Provision 9.2 (continued) In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the Board is satisfied 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 satisfied 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, with no material weaknesses identified. The Board has received assurances from the CEO and Acting Chief Financial Officer that: (i) the financial records have been properly maintained (and the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards) and the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company’s operations and finances; and (ii) 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.

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 2019, the Company was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’). The Company is now holding dual listing status. The Company has provided an option for 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 ventures, associate, and joint operations are set out in Notes 16, 17, 18 and 19 respectively. The financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 were approved and authorised for issue on the date of the statement by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on the date of the Directors’ Statement. 2. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) (‘SFRS(I)’) under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with SFRS(I) requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. The Group has adopted the new or amended SFRS(I) and SFRS(I) Interpretations (‘SFRS(I) INTs’) that are mandatory for application for the financial year. The details are disclosed in Note 34 to the financial statements. Changes in accounting policy Freehold land and Buildings Over the past 10 years, the Group has built significant facilities in Henderson, Western Australia and since 2016 has enhanced the Company’s New South Wales Newcastle facilities. The majority of this work was carried out by its wholly subsidiary entity’s in house multi-disciplined workforce. Under this delivery model, the Group avoided imposing overhead and profit recovery on to the construction costs. The revaluation method is to present the true value of the freehold land and buildings of the Group. The change in accounting policy was brought about to enhance the relevance and reliability of the information contained in the financial statements. 97 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (a) Basis of Preparation (continued) Changes in accounting policy (continued) Basis of revaluation Freehold land and buildings are revalued on a fair value basis. An independent valuation of freehold land and buildings of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary entities was carried out for 30 June 2020. The fair value of the freehold land and buildings have been assessed as having a fair value of A$320,502,000. The balance sheet adjustments based on the valuation is as follows: Loss on revaluation of freehold land and buildings Gain on revaluation of freehold land and buildings Deferred tax liability arising on revaluation Net asset revaluation reserve adjustment (b) Basis of Consolidation Group A$’000 1,611 112,125 33,638 78,487 (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. 98 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (b) Basis of Consolidation (continued) 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. 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 are recognised in accordance with SFRS(I) 9 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. 99 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (b) Basis of Consolidation (continued) (ii) Joint Arrangements (continued) 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. 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 contributes assets to a joint operation, the Group recognises gains or losses on the sale or contribution of assets that are 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 its 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. (c) 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. 100 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (d) Investment in Associate The Group recognises its interest in an associate 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. If the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. If the associate subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. (e) Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. Construction contract revenue The Group provides engineering and construction services to customers through contracts. Contract revenue is recognised when the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. For these contracts, revenue is recognised over time by reference to the Group’s progress towards the completion of the contract. The measure of progress is determined based on the proportion of contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs (‘input method’). Costs incurred that are not related to the contract or that do not contribute towards satisfying a performance obligation (‘PO’) are excluded from the measurement of progress and instead are expensed as incurred. In some circumstances, such as in the early stages of a contract where the Group may not be able to reasonably measure its progress but expects to recover the contract costs incurred, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of the contract costs incurred until such time when the Group can reasonably measure its progress. Contract modifications that do not add distinct goods or services are accounted for as a continuation of the original contract and the change is recognised as a cumulative adjustment to revenue at the date of modification. The amount of revenue recognised is based on the estimated transaction price, which comprises the contractual price, adjusted for expected returns. Based on the Group’s experience with similar types of contracts, variable consideration is typically constrained and included in the transaction only to the extent that is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimates of revenues, costs or the extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management. At the end of each reporting date, the Group updates its assessment of the estimated transaction price, including its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained. The corresponding amounts are adjusted against revenue in the period in which the transaction price changes. The period between the transfer of the promised services and customer payment may exceed one year. For such contracts, there is no significant financing component present as the payment terms are an industry practice to protect the customers from the performing entity’s failure to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money. 101 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (e) Revenue Recognition (continued) Construction contract revenue (continued) The customer is invoiced on a milestone payment schedule. If the value of the goods transferred by the Group exceeds the payments, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the value of the goods transferred, a contract liability is recognised. For costs incurred in fulfilling the contract which is within the scope of another SFRS(I) (e.g. Inventories), these have been accounted for in accordance with those other SFRS(I). If these are not within the scope of another SFRS(I), the Group will capitalise these as contract cost assets only if (a) these costs relate directly to a contract or an anticipated contract which the Group can specifically identify; (b) these costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and (c) these costs are expected to be recovered. Otherwise, such costs are recognised as an expense immediately. Sale of goods and services Revenue from the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of business are recognised when the Group satisfies a PO by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount of the transaction price allocated to the satisfied PO. The transaction price is allocated to each PO in the contract on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling prices of the promised goods or services. The individual standalone selling price of a good or service that has not previously been sold on a stand-alone basis, or has a highly variable selling price, is determined based on the residual portion of the transaction price after allocating the transaction price to goods and/or services with observable stand-alone selling prices. A discount or variable consideration is allocated to one or more, but not all, of the performance obligations if it relates specifically to those performance obligations. The transaction price is the amount of consideration in the contract to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The transaction price may be fixed or variable and is adjusted for the time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. The consideration payable to a customer is deducted from the transaction price if the Group does not receive a separate identifiable benefit from the customer. When consideration is variable, the estimated amount is included in the transaction price to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Revenue may be recognised at a point in time or over time following the timing of satisfaction of the PO. If a PO is satisfied over time, revenue is recognised based on the percentage of completion reflecting the progress towards complete satisfaction of that PO. The Group considers certain services to be a distinct service as it is both regularly supplied by the Group to other customers on a stand-alone basis and is available for customers from other providers in the market. A portion of the transaction price is therefore allocated to the maintenance services based on the stand-alone selling price of those services. Discounts are not considered as they are only given in rare circumstances and are never material. Revenue from the maintenance services is recognised over time. The transaction price allocated to these services is recognised as a contract liability at the time of the initial sales transaction and is released on a straight-line basis over the period of service. (f) Government Grants Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. As the grant relates to R&D expenditure already incurred it is recognised in the income statement in the period it became receivable. 102 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (g) Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities A contract asset is recognised when the Group recognises revenue as set out in Note 2(e) before being unconditionally entitled to the consideration under the payment terms set out in the contract. Contract assets are assessed for expected credit losses (‘ECLs’) in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2(j) and are reclassified to receivables when the right to the consideration has become unconditional. A contract liability is recognised when the customer pays consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue as set out in Note 2(e). A contract liability would also be recognised if the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised. For a single contract with the customer, either a net contract asset or a net contract liability is presented. For multiple contracts, contract assets and contract liabilities of unrelated contracts are not presented on a net basis. (h) 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 assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised on all temporary differences except for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint venture, where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and interest in joint venture, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured: (i) 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. 103 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (h) Income Tax (continued) Current income taxes are recognised in profit and loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit and loss is recognised outside profit and loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition. Sales tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except: • Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sale tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included. The net amount of sales tax recoverable from or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statements of financial position. (i) 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 financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars (‘A$’), which is the functional currency of the Company. Prior to 1 July 2019, the financial statements were presented in Singapore Dollars (‘S$’). With effect from 1 July 2019, the Group changed its presentation currency from S$ to A$. The Group largely operates within Australia where virtually all its income is derived. Following the Group’s listing on the Australian Securities Exchange on 22 June 2019, the change will help to provide a clearer understanding of the Group’s financial results and improve comparability of the Group’s performance. The effect of the change of presentation currency was applied retrospectively using the following procedures: • Assets and liabilities of all corresponding figures presented (including opening balances from the beginning of earliest prior period presented) were translated at the closing rates of respective year end; • Income and expenses for all corresponding figures presented were translated at the average exchange rate for the financial year approximating the exchange rates at the dates of transactions; and • All resulting exchange differences were recognised in other comprehensive income. 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. 104 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (i) Foreign Currency Translation (continued) Transactions and balances (continued) 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. (j) Financial Assets Classification and measurement The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: • Amortised cost; • Fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’); and • Fair value through profit or loss (‘FVPL’). The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets as well as the contractual terms of the cash flows of the financial asset. Financial assets with embedded derivatives, if any, are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. The Group reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. 105 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (j) Financial Assets (continued) Initial recognition At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Subsequent measurement Debt instruments mainly comprise of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and contract assets. There are three subsequent measurement categories, depending on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset: • Amortised cost: Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method. • FVOCI: Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for sale, and where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are classified as FVOCI. Movements in fair values are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (‘OCI’) and accumulated in fair value reserve, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and presented in ‘other income / other expenses’. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised using the effective interest rate method and presented in ‘interest income’, if any. • FVPL: Debt instruments that are held for trading as well as those that do not meet the criteria for classification as amortised cost or FVOCI are classified as FVPL. Movement in fair values and interest income is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises and presented in ‘other income / other expenses’, if any. Recognition and derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on 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 debt instrument, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale proceeds is recognised in profit or loss. Any amount previously recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that asset is reclassified to profit or loss. Impairment The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss (‘ECL’) associated with its debt financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. ECL are probability-weighted estimates of credit losses. Credit losses are measured at the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECL are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by SFRS(I) 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. 106 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (j) Financial Assets (continued) Impairment (continued) For other receivables, the Group applies the general approach. For the purpose of impairment assessment for other receivables, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECL, which reflects the low credit risk of the exposures. Credit-impaired financial assets A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the observable data about the following events: • Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer; • A breach of contract such as a default or past due; • The lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower or a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not other consider (e.g. the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise); • It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or • The disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties. Write-off policy The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Financial assets written off may still be subject to recovery efforts under the Group’s recovery procedures. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss. (k) 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. (l) Property, Plant and Equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Freehold land and buildings Before 1 July 2019, the Group was using cost model for this class of property. Freehold land and buildings were stated on the cost basis and are therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes construction costs and borrowing cost that are eligible to be capitalised. From 1 July 2019, under the revaluation model, freehold land and buildings are initially recognised at cost. Such costs, including the construction costs and borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation, are subsequently carried at their revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount do not differ materially from those that would be determined using fair values at the end of the reporting period. 107 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (l) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued) (i) Recognition and measurement (continued) Freehold land and buildings (continued) Freehold land and buildings are revalued by independent professional valuers on triennial basis and whenever their carrying amounts are likely to differ materially from their revalued amounts. When an asset is revalued, any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset. The net amount is then restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Increases in carrying amounts arising from revaluation are recognised in other comprehensive income, unless they offset previous decreases in the carrying amounts of the same asset, in which case, they are recognised in profit or loss. Decreases in carrying amounts that offset previous increases of the same asset are recognised in other comprehensive income. All other decreases in carrying amounts are recognised in profit or loss. Other property, plant and equipment All other items of property 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 (ii) 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 Assets Buildings Plant and equipment Leased plant and equipment Small tools Motor vehicles Office and IT equipment Depreciation Rate 2% - 33.33% 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. 108 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (m) 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. (n) 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. (o) 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. 109 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (o) Financial Liability and Equity Instruments Issued by the Group (continued) Financial liabilities (continued) After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through amortisation process. Borrowings Borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Derecognition of financial liabilities The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. (p) 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. (q) Leases Applicable to reporting periods before 1 July 2019 Finance 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. Operating leases 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. 110 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (q) Leases (continued) Applicable to reporting periods after 1 July 2019 The Group as Lessee At the inception of the contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Reassessment is only required when the terms and conditions of the contract are changed. The Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the date which the underlying assets become available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement dates, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. Any initial direct costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are added to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets. Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right- of-use assets are periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the corresponding lease liabilities. The Group presents its right-of-use assets in ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘Lease liabilities’ in the statements of financial position. The initial measurement of lease liabilities is measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the implicit rate in the lease, if the rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: • Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivables; • Variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; • Amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; • The exercise price of a purchase option if it is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and • Payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option. For contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease and non-lease components. The Group has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for property leases; instead, these are accounted for as one single lease component. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost, and are remeasured when: • There is a change in future lease payments arising from changes in an index or rate; • There is a change in the Group’s assessment of whether it will exercise lease extension and termination options; • There is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or • There is a modification to the lease term. When lease liabilities are remeasured, corresponding adjustments are made against the right-of-use assets. If the carrying amounts of the right-of-use assets have been reduced to zero, the adjustments are recorded in profit or loss. The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less, as well as leases of low value assets. 111 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (q) Leases (continued) Applicable to reporting periods after 1 July 2019 (continued) The Group as Lessee (continued) Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate are included in the measurement of the corresponding right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Other variable lease payments are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. (r) 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. 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. 112 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (s) 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. (t) 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. (u) 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’). a. A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to a reporting entity if that person: (i) has control or joint control over the reporting entity; (ii) has significant influence over the reporting entity; or (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the reporting entity. b. An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions applies: (i) the entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others); (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member); (iii) both entities are joint ventures of the same third party; (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity; (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity; (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity); or (viii) the entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity. 113 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 3. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. (a) Critical Judgements in applying the Group’s Accounting Policies In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, the application of judgements that are expected to have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are discussed as follows. (i) Impairment of trade and other receivables and contract assets As at 30 June 2020, the Group’s trade and other receivables and contract assets amounted to A$75,016,000 (2019: A$63,558,000) and A$95,118,000 (2019: A$117,443,000) respectively, net of allowance for impairment, if any, arising from the Group’s different revenue segments as disclosed in Note 31. Based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, trade receivables exhibited different loss patterns for each revenue segment. Within each revenue segment, the Group has common customers across the different geographical regions and applies credit evaluations by customer. Accordingly, management has determined the expected loss rates by grouping the receivables across geographical regions in each revenue segment. An allowance for impairment of A$2,678,000 (2019: Nil) for trade and other receivables was recognised as at 30 June 2020. No allowance for impairment for contract assets was recognised as at 30 June 2020 (2019: Nil). Notwithstanding the above, the Group evaluates the expected credit loss on customers in financial difficulties separately. So far as management is aware, there is no major customer in financial difficulties during the financial year. The Group’s and the Company’s credit risk exposure for trade receivables by different revenue segment are set out in Note 32(a). (ii) Judgement and method used in estimating construction contract revenue As discussed in Note 2(e) to the financial statements, construction contract revenue is recognised over time by reference to the Group’s progress towards completion of the contract. The measure of progress is determined based on the proportion of contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs (‘input method’). Costs incurred that are not related to the contract or that do not contribute towards satisfying a performance obligation (‘PO’) are excluded from the measure of progress and instead are expensed as incurred. Construction contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and variations in contract work to the extent that is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. In estimating the variable consideration for contract revenue, the Group uses the expected value amount method to estimate the transaction price. The expected value is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. Management has relied on historical experience and the work of experts, analysed by customers and nature of scope of work, from prior years. Management has exercised judgement in applying the constraint on the estimated variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price. For variations claims, management has determined that a portion of the estimated variable consideration is subject to the constraint as, based on past experience with the customers, it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognised will occur, and therefore will not be recognised as revenue. 114 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 3. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued) (a) Critical Judgements in applying the Group’s Accounting Policies (continued) (iii) Legal proceedings The Group is exposed to the risk of claims and litigation which can arise for various reasons, including changes in scope of work, delay and disputes etc. Given the nature of the business, variation orders, additional works and prolongation costs are common. As some of these items could be subjective and hence contentious in nature, the Group may from time to time be involved in adjudication or legal processes. In making its judgment as to whether it is probable that any such adjudication decisions or litigation will result in a liability and whether any such liability can be measured reliably, management relies on past experience and the opinion of legal advisors and technical experts. In making that overall judgment, management has included in its consideration the likely outcome of the claims. Although an adverse outcome of those claims could have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group, management have taken the view that such a material adverse outcome is very unlikely. (iv) 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 was recorded for the financial years ended 30 June 2020 and 2019. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2020 is A$397,804,000 (2019: A$201,004,000). (v) Determination of the lease term In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease term is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Group becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects the assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee. For leases of the leasehold land and buildings, the following factors are normally the most relevant: • • If there are significant penalties to terminate (or not extend), the Group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate). If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate). • Otherwise, the Group considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs and business disruption required to replace the leased asset. (vi) Valuation of freehold land and buildings The Group carries its freehold land and building at fair values which are determined by an independent real estate valuation expert using the highest-and-best use approach which is generally the sales comparison approach (i.e. the basis of market value). In arriving at the valuation figure, the valuer has taken into consideration the prevailing market conditions and differences between the freehold land and building and the comparables in terms of location, tenure, size, shape, design and layout, age and condition of the building, dates of transactions and other factors affecting their values. The most significant inputs in this valuation approach are the selling price per square meter and the usage of the property. The estimates are based on local market conditions existing at the reporting date. 115 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 3. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued) (a) Critical Judgements in applying the Group’s Accounting Policies (continued) (vi) Valuation of freehold land and buildings (continued) Fair values of buildings with no available market information are determined by the independent real estate valuation expert using the depreciated replacement cost method, which involves estimating the current replacement cost of the buildings and from which deductions are made to allow for depreciation due to age, condition and functional obsolescence. The replacement cost is then added to the land value to derive the fair value. The land value is determined based on the direct comparison method with transactions of comparable plots of land within the vicinity and elsewhere. In arriving at the valuation figure, the valuation expert has taken into consideration the prevailing market condition and differences between the freehold land and buildings and the comparable in terms of location, tenure, size, shape, design and layout, age and condition, dates of transactions and other factors affecting their values. The most significant inputs into this valuation approach are the estimated construction costs, depreciation rates and developer profit margin. The carrying amount of the freehold land and buildings at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 14. If the selling prices and price per unit measurement of the freehold land and buildings determined by valuation experts had been 5% higher/lower, the carrying amount of the freehold land and buildings would have been A$16,025,000 higher/lower. (b) Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. (i) Estimation of total contract costs for construction contracts The Group has significant ongoing construction contracts as at 30 June 2020 that are non-cancellable. For these contracts, revenue is recognised over time by reference to the Group’s progress towards completion of the contract. The measure of progress is determined based on the proportion of contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs (‘input method’). Management has to estimate the total contract costs to complete, which are used in the input method to determine the Group’s recognition of construction revenue. When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed the total construction revenue, a provision for onerous contracts is recognised immediately. Significant assumptions are used to estimate the total contract sum and the total contract costs which affect the accuracy of revenue recognition based on the percentage-of-completion and completeness of provision for onerous contracts recognised. In making these estimates, management has relied on past experience and the work of specialists. The Group includes incremental costs of fulfilling the contracts which are the cost of materials and labour required to construct the projects. In estimating the forecast costs, the management exercised judgement in considering costs that relate directly to the contracts. If the estimated total contract sum decreases by 1% from management’s estimates, the Group’s profit before income tax will decrease by approximately A$3,901,000 (2019: A$4,870,000). If the remaining estimated contract costs increase by 1% from management’s estimates, the Group’s profit before income tax will decrease by approximately A$3,472,000 (2019: A$4,633,000). 116 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 3. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued) (b) Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued) (ii) Estimation of 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 2020 was A$397,804,000 (2019: A$201,004,000) (Note 14). A 10% difference in the expected useful lives of these assets from management’s estimate would result in an approximately A$1,046,000 (2019: A$1,002,000) variance in the Group’s profit before tax. (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 the 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 2020 were income tax payable of A$2,862,000 (2019: income tax recoverable A$4,024,000) and A$2,840,000 (2019: income tax recoverable A$4,043,000) respectively. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and Company’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as at 30 June 2020 are disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements. 117 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a) Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Group derives revenue from the transfer of goods and services over time and at a point in time as follows: Over time: Construction contract revenue Revenue from rendering of services At a point in time: Revenue from sales of goods The segment analysis of the Group is disclosed in Note 31 to the financial statements. (b) Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets Contract liabilities Group Group 2020 A$’000 390,235 728 390,963 905 391,868 2020 A$’000 95,118 (83,266) 2019 A$’000 483,943 3,031 486,974 1,537 488,511 2019 A$’000 117,443 (69,333) Contract assets primarily relate to the Group’s right to consideration for work completed but not yet billed at the reporting date on construction contracts. The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the rights become unconditional, which usually occurs when the customer certifies the progress claims. Contract liabilities primarily relate to the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Group has received advances from customers for construction contracts and progress billings issued in excess of the Group’s rights to the consideration in respect of construction contract revenue. 118 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 4.

(ii) Unsatisfied performance obligations Group 2020 A$’000 2019 A$’000 Aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to contracts that are partially or fully unsatisfied as at 30 June 899,498 819,042 The Group expects that the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of 30 June 2020 will be recognised as revenue as the Group continue to perform to complete the construction, which is expected to occur over the next few years up to 2029. The amount disclosed above does not include variable consideration which is subject to constraint. As permitted under the SFRS(I) 15, the aggregated transaction price allocated to unsatisfied contracts of periods of one year or less, or are billed based on time incurred, is not disclosed. 119 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 5.

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 A$483,000 (2019: A$11,000) and are not recognised as there is no reasonable certainty that future capital gains will be available to utilise the capital tax losses. 123 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 9. Income Tax Expense (continued) The non-assessable income of the Group mainly relates to research & development tax incentives received by the Group from the Australian Taxation Office. The tax rate used for the 2020 and 2019 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.

An independent valuation of freehold land and buildings of the Group was carried out by Griffin Valuation Advisory as at 30 June 2020. The fair value is determined by the valuer on the highest and best use approach of each asset. Such valuation was determined using the Sales Comparison approach, Hypothetical Development approach and Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) approach (to non-market-type properties). The fair value of the freehold land and buildings have been assessed as having a fair value of A$320,502,000. The fair value has been derived through a mix of Level 2 inputs where applicable and Level 3 inputs where the Valuer has deemed Level 2 inputs to be not applicable. 131 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 14.

Sales prices of comparable properties in close proximity are adjusted for differences in key attributes as disclosed in Note 3(a)(vi) to the financial statements. The most significant input in this valuation approach is the selling price per square meter and the usage of the property.

Goodwill has been allocated to the cash-generating unit, Metals and Minerals division. Management is of the opinion that the recoverable amount will exceed the carrying amount on the basis that this cash generating unit has been generating profit since acquisition and management forecasts the results of this subsidiary to be in a net profit position for the financial year ended 30 June 2020. In arriving at this assessment, management has determined the recoverable amount using a two (2019: two) years forecasting process based on the current order book, projected orders and a consumer price index (‘CPI’) factor of 1.6 % (2019: 1.9%) per annum on direct costs and overhead costs. 16.

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 equivalent to A$0.74 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 equivalent to A$0.68 per share. The options are exercisable on or before 11 September 2023. Options granted to employees are as follows: Grant date 11 September 2013 Total number granted 6,000,000 Vesting period 1 year The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of, and movements in share options during the year: 2020 2019 No. WAEP No. WAEP Outstanding at the beginning of the year 4,000,000 0.65 4,000,000 0.65 - Cancelled during the year Outstanding at the end of the year - - 4,000,000 0.65 4,000,000 0.65 Exercisable at the end of the year 4,000,000 4,000,000 146 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 30 JUNE 2020 25. Share-Based Payments (continued) (b) Employee Share Option Scheme (continued) The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding as at 30 June 2020 is 3 (2019: 4) years. The exercise price of outstanding shares was S$0.65 (2019: S$0.65) equivalent to A$0.68 (2019: A$0.68). 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 S$0.35 (2019: S$0.38) equivalent to A$0.37 (2019: A$0.40). 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. (c) Performance Rights Plan The Civmec Limited Performance Rights Plan (the ‘CPRP’) for key senior executives of the Group was approved and adopted by shareholders at the Annual General meeting held on 25 October 2019. A Performance Right refers to a right to one issued ordinary share of the Company granted under the scheme for no consideration. To the extent the gateway hurdles are satisfied, 100% of the vesting will be based on the absolute earnings per share (aEPS) outcome. aEPS is based on the achievement of certain predetermined performance targets determined by the Committee. The Committee has the discretion to determine whether the performance targets have been met. The balances of Performance Rights are as follows: Grant Balance at 1 July Issued Vested Forfeited /Lapsed /Expired Balance at 30 June FY 2019 FY 2020 - 8,109,993 8,109,993 - - - - (750,000) 8,109,993 7,359,993 147 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 30 JUNE 2020 26.

This price is reviewed quarterly and is based on what would be realised in the event the sale was made to an external party at arm’s length. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group’s financial statements. Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. (c) Segment assets and liabilities The Group does not identify nor segregate its assets and liabilities in operating segments as these are managed on a ‘group basis’. Geographical segments (secondary reporting) Revenue is based on the location of customers regardless of where the services are rendered.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Group and the Company financial risk management policies set out the Group’s and the Company’s overall business strategies and its risk management philosophy. The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks include credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s and the Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise adverse effects from the unpredictability of financial markets on the Group’s and the Company’s financial performance. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks. The Audit Committee provides independent oversight to the effectiveness of the risk management process. The Group and the Company do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As at 30 June 2020, the Group’s and the Company’s financial instruments mainly consisted of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, contract assets, trade and other payables, contract liabilities and borrowings. There has been no change to the Group’s and the Company’s exposures to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis indicated below. (a) Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables, contract assets and cash and cash equivalents. The Group adopts the policy of dealing only with: • Customers of appropriate credit standing and history, and obtaining sufficient collateral or buying credit insurance where appropriate to mitigate credit risk; and • High credit quality counterparties of at least an ‘A’ rating by external credit rating companies. Financial assets that are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk consist are principally bank deposits and receivables. The Group places its deposits with financial institutions and other creditworthy issuers and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one party. As at 30 June 2020, the Group has a concentration of credit risk on one debtor (2019: one debtor) that individually represents more than 24.9% (2019: 35%) of total trade and other receivables and contract assets. As the Group and the Company do not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk for each class of financial instruments is the carrying amount of that class of financial instruments presented on the statement of financial position, except for financial guarantees as disclosed in Note 29 to the financial statements. The following sets out the Group’s internal credit evaluation practices and basis for recognition and measurement for expected credit losses (‘ECL’): Internal rating grades Definition Basis for recognition and measurement of ECL (i) Performing (ii) Under-performing (iii) Non-performing (iv) Write-off The counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past-due amounts. 12-month ECL There has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (>60 days past due). Lifetime ECL (not credit-impaired) There is evidence indicating that the asset is credit-impaired (>90 days past due). Lifetime ECL (credit-impaired) There is evidence indicating that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery as the debtor is in severe financial difficulty. Asset is written off 154 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 32. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued) (a) Credit Risk (continued) Trade receivables and contract assets The Group’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit risk exposure. The Group has adopted the policy of dealing with customers with an appropriate credit history as a means of mitigating the credit risk exposures. Credit evaluation which takes into account qualitative and quantitative profile of each customer is performed and approved by management before credit is being granted. The Group also closely monitors customers’ payment pattern and credit exposures on an on-going basis. The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for the ECL for all trade receivables and contract assets. The simplified approach requires the loss allowance to be measured at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL. The Group uses a provision matrix to measure the lifetime ECL allowance for trade receivables and contract assets. In measuring the ECL, trade receivables and contract assets are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The contract assets relate mainly to unbilled work in progress, which have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets. In calculating the ECL rates, the Group considers historical loss rates for each category of customers, and adjusts for forward-looking macroeconomic data. The Group has identified the gross domestic product (‘GDP’) growth of the countries in which it sells goods and services to be the most relevant factor, and accordingly adjust the historical loss rates based on expected changes in this factor. The Group considers a financial asset as in default when the counterparty fail to make contractual payments for a prolonged period of time when they fall due, and the Group may also consider internal and external information, such as significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flow, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Group and it is becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation. Where receivables have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss. Management has assessed and concluded that the ECL rate for trade receivables past due less than 1 year approximates Nil and is immaterial, while the ECL rate for trade receivables past due more than 1 year approximates 50% to 100%, except for specific cases where management has assessed the amount is still fully recoverable. The Group’s credit risk exposure in relation to trade receivables and contract assets under SFRS(I) 9 as at 30 June 2020 and 2019 are set out in the provision matrix as follows: Group 2020 Trade receivables Loss allowance Past due Current Within 60 days 61 to 90 days A$’000 More than 90 days A$’000 Total A$’000 61,698 - 61,698 9,559 - 9,559 6 - 6 2,919 (911)* 2,008 74,182 (911) 73,271 * Risk profile of the corresponding receivable is assessed separately from the other trade receivables. 155 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 32. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued) (a) Credit Risk (continued) Trade receivables and contract assets (continued) There is no ageing analysis for contract assets as these mainly relate to variable considerations which have yet to be invoiced. The Group has assessed and concluded that trade receivables are subject to immaterial credit loss. There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the current reporting year. Other receivables and receivables from subsidiaries and a related party The Group applies the general approach to provide for the ECL for other receivables and receivables from subsidiaries and a related party. Under the general approach, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL at initial recognition. At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and includes forward-looking information. If credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition or if the credit quality of the financial instruments improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. Impairment of these balances have been measured on the 12-month ECL basis which reflects the low credit risk of exposures. These amounts are subject to immaterial credit loss. Impact of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has had no significant impact on the Group’s overall credit risk; however, it has impacted on the loan to a related party, Civtec Africa Ltd. While Civtec Africa remains profitable, its cashflow and ability to repay the loan has been impacted by a Government enforced lockdown. The management has assessed the risk and decided to impair the loan outstanding valued at A$1.8mil as at 30 June 2020. It is expected that in future years when cashflow in Civtec Africa stabilises and improves, this impairment can be reversed. Cash and cash equivalents The cash and bank balances are entered into with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are rated at least AA, based on international credit rating agencies. For the purpose of impairment, cash and cash equivalents has been measured on the 12-month expected loss basis and reflects the short maturities of the exposures. The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties. Financial guarantees The Company has issued financial guarantees to financial institutions for borrowings of its subsidiaries. These guarantees are subject to the impairment requirements of SFRS(I) 9. The Company has assessed that its subsidiaries have the financial capacity to meet the contractual cash flow obligations in the near future and hence, does not expect significant credit losses arising from these guarantees. 156 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 32. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued) (b) Interest Rate Risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. Interest rate risk is managed using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt. At 30 June 2020, approximately 97% (2019: 68%) of the Group’s debt is fixed. The Group’s borrowings at variable rates are denominated mainly in A$. If the A$ interest rates increase/decrease by 1% (2019: 1%) with all other variables remain constant, the Group’s profit before tax will be approximately lower/higher by A$21,000 (2019: A$377,000) 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. Information relating to the Group’s interest rate exposure is also disclosed in the notes on the Group’s borrowings and leasing obligations. They are both fixed and floating rates of interest. The policy is to retain flexibility in selecting borrowings at both fixed and floating rates interest.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (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. The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (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 2020 A$’000 245,543 263,073 0.93 2019 A$’000 197,310 174,128 1.13 There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the current financial year. (e) Fair Value Estimation Financial instruments 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. 161 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 32. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued) (e) Fair Value Estimation (continued) Fair value hierarchy The Group categories fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that is depend on the valuation inputs used as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date; • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements that use inputs of different hierarchy levels are categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. 33. Litigation Perth Stadium Project In February 2019, the Group lodged a writ in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Brookfield Multiplex Engineering and Infrastructure Pty Ltd (‘Brookfield Multiplex’), in relation to the valuation of additional time and changes to the works undertaken in the delivery of the new Perth Stadium project in Western Australia. The Group is seeking a determination from the Supreme Court to recover costs associated with the changes in scope and nature of the works required to be completed and for the granting of Practical Completion. 34. Adoption of New Standards 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 2019. • SFRS(I) 16 Leases; • SFRS(I) INT 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments; • Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-28); • Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to SFRS(I) 9); • Previously Held Interest in a Joint Operation (Amendments to SFRS(I) 3 and 11); • Income Tax Consequences of Payments on Financial Instruments Classified as Equity (Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-12); • Borrowing Costs Eligible for Capitalisation (Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-23); • Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-19). Except for the adoption of SFRS(I) 16 Leases, the application of the above standards and interpretations did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. 162 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 34. Adoption of New Standards (continued) Adoption of New Standards SFRS(I) 16 Leases SFRS(I) 16 sets out a revised framework for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, and replaces SFRS(I) 1-17 Leases, SFRS(I) INT 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SFRS(I) INT 1-15 Operating Leases – Incentives; and SFRS(I) INT 1-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. SFRS(I) 16 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. Lease incentives (e.g. rent-free period) are recognised as part of the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with SFRS(I) 1-36 Impairment of Assets. 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. The Group has applied a modified retrospective approach that does not restate comparative information, but recognises the cumulative effect of initially applying SFRS(I) 16 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on 1 July 2019. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Group has elected to apply the following practical expedients under SFRS(I) 16: a) For all contracts entered into before 1 July 2019 and that were previously identified as leases under SFRS(I) 1-17 and SFRS(I) INT 4, the Group is exempted from having to reassess whether pre-existing contracts contain a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease in accordance with SFRS(I) 1-17 and SFRS(I) INT 4 will continue to be applied to leases entered or modified before 1 July 2019. b) The Group has, on a lease-by-lease basis: • applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; • relied on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review; • excluded initial direct costs in the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and • used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. c) The Group has elected not to recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impact on lessee accounting For leases previously classified as operating leases, the Group chose to measure its ROU assets (except for ROU assets which meet the definition of investment property) at a carrying amount as if SFRS(I) 16 had been applied since the commencement of the lease but discounted using incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. The Group recognised its lease liabilities by discounting remaining lease payments as at 1 July 2019 using the incremental borrowing rate for each individual lease or, if applicable, the incremental borrowing rate for each portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics. The difference between the carrying amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities as at 1 July 2019 is adjusted directly to opening retained profits. Comparative information is not restated. For leases previously classified as finance leases, the carrying amount of the leased asset and finance lease liability as at 1 July 2019 are determined as the carrying amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. 163 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 34. Adoption of New Standards (continued) Impact on lessor accounting There are no significant changes to the accounting by the Group as a lessor.

(m) The Performance Rights will be issued to Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald no later than 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Performance Rights will be issued on one date.

The aggregate number of Performance Rights which shall vest in favour of Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald, Mr Patrick John Tallon and Mr Kevin James Deery respectively, will be based on the achievement of certain predetermined performance targets (which are based on absolute earnings per share (‘aEPS’) as determined by the Remuneration Committee in accordance with the Civmec PRP.

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. However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (7.1A Mandate). An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes. Resolution No. 16 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval. If Resolution No. 16 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval. If Resolution No. 16 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. 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 No. 16: (a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following: (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting; (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking). (b) Minimum Price Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before: (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued. (c) Use of Funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate 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 and reduction of debt.. (d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. 180 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING If Resolution No 16 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below. The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 9 September 2020. 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 7.1A Mandate. DILUTION Issue Price Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) Shares issued – 10% voting dilution $0.195 $0.39 $0.585 50% decrease Issue Price 50% increase Funds Raised Current 501,100,000 Shares 50,110,000 Shares 50% increase 751,650,000 Shares 75,165,000 Shares 100% increase 1,002,200,000 Shares 100,220,000 Shares $9,771,450 $19,542,900 $29,314,350 $14,657,175 $29,314,350 $43,971,525 $19,542,900 $39,865,800 $58,628,700 *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 501,100,000 Shares on issue. 2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 9 September 2020. 3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate. 4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1. 5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. 6. 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 Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed. 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%. 181 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. 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. (e) Allocation policy under 7.1A Mandate The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate 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 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors: (i) the purpose of the issue; (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement 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). (f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A The Company previously obtained approval from its shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 October 2019 (Previous Approval). During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 October 2019, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval. (g) Voting exclusion As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice. Notes: i. ii.

An Award Letter confirming the Performance Right and specifying, inter alia, the Award Date, the number of Award Shares, the prescribed performance condition(s), the performance period during which the prescribed performance condition(s) is/ are to be attained or fulfilled, the extent to which the Award Shares will vest on satisfaction of the prescribed performance condition(s), the vesting date(s) and the vesting period(s) (if any) will be sent to each Participant as soon as is reasonably practicable after the grant of a Performance Right. (f) Events Prior to Vesting Special provisions for the vesting and lapsing of Performance Rights apply in certain circumstances including the following: (i) the Participant ceasing to be in the employment of the Group for any reason whatsoever (other than as specified in paragraphs (vi), (vii) and (viii) below); (ii) the bankruptcy of a Participant or the happening of any other event which results in them being deprived of the legal or beneficial ownership of the Performance Right; (iii) the misconduct on the part of a Participant as determined by the Committee in its discretion; (iv) an order being made or a resolution passed for the winding-up of the Company on the basis, or by reason, of its insolvency; (v) any breach of the rules of the Civmec PRP by the Participant; (vi) the retirement of the Participant; (vii) the Participant ceasing to be in the employment of the Group by reason of retirement, or ill health, injury or disability (in each case, evidenced to the satisfaction of the Committee) or death, or redundancy, or any other reason approved in writing by the Committee; or (viii) the Participant ceasing to be in the employment of the Group by reason of: (1) the company by which they are employed ceasing to be a company within the Group or the undertaking or part of the undertaking of such company being transferred otherwise than to another company within the Group; (2) (where applicable) the Participant’s transfer of employment between members of the Group; or (3) any other event approved by the Committee. Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, a Performance Right then held by a Participant shall, as provided in the rules of the Civmec PRP and to the extent not yet vested, lapse without any claim whatsoever against the Company. Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in paragraphs (vi), (vii) and (viii) above, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine whether a Performance Right then held by such Participant, to the extent not yet vested, shall lapse or that all or any part of such Performance Right shall be vested. If the Committee determines that a Performance Right (to the extent not yet vested) shall lapse, then such Performance Right shall lapse without any claim whatsoever against the Company. If the Committee determines that a certain number of, or all Performance Rights shall be vested, the aggregate number of Award Shares underlying that aggregate number of vested Performance Rights shall be delivered to the Participant within the prescribed automatic timeline stipulated in the Civmec PRP. In exercising its discretion, the Committee will have regard to all circumstances on a case-by-case basis, including (but not limited to) the contributions made by that Participant and the extent to which the prescribed performance condition(s) has/have been satisfied. 186 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020 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) 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 (ii) 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.

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. 187 CIVMEC ANNUAL REPORT I FINANCIAL REPORT 2020 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING In this Schedule, the following definitions apply unless otherwise stated: ‘Associate’ ‘Award Date’ ‘Award Letter’ ‘Award Shares’ ‘Board” ‘CDP’ ‘Companies Act’ : : : : : : : Associate shall bear the same meaning as set out in the Listing Manual.
