Our Facilities

Our main west coast facility, located 
just 30 kilometres south of Perth, is 
the largest heavy engineering facility 
of its kind in Australia. Positioned on 
200,000m² of waterfront land in the 
Australian Marine Complex (AMC) 
precinct, it has access to the AMC’s 
prime facilities, ports and equipment, in 
addition to 440,000m² of Common User 
Facility (CUF) land. Within the Civmec 
facility is our cutting-edge 53,000m² 
(usable floor area) Assembly Hall, 
29,300m² Fabrication Hall, blast and 
paint workshops, exotic metals and site 
support workshops, and multi-storey 
office building. 

Our Newcastle facility is our principal 
manufacturing facility on the east coast, 
situated on 227,000m² of riverfront 
land, 14 kilometres from the port of 
Newcastle. With more than 22,500m² 
of manufacturing workshops (with 
capacity to cater for steel and concrete 
production requirements), as part of 
a combined 30,000m² of undercover 
space (including storage areas), the 
facility efficiently services the east coast 
market, in addition to providing support 
for our west coast operations. 

Sustaining our maintenance and capital 
works operations are our Gladstone and 
Port Hedland facilities, each positioned 
purposely in major activity hubs for the 
Resources and Energy sectors. 

Our Gladstone facility, in regional 
Queensland, provides light fabrication 
capacity and serves as a base for 
essential equipment and the workforce 
required for maintenance, refractory and 
shutdown works in the area. 

Our recently secured lease on a Port 
Hedland facility represents a real 
commitment to the region, making us 
more readily available to our clients and 
allowing us to ably service onshore and 
offshore maintenance and capital works 
projects in the north-west of Western 
Australia as they arise. In the second 
half of the year, we agreed to purchase 
approximately five hectares of land in 
the industrial area of the regional hub 
and have already commenced plans 
to develop the site with a substantial 
workshop and office development.

FY2021  
Highlights

With our geographical diversification 
complete in line with previously 
determined plans, and the majority 
of our facilities established, our 
focus during FY2021 was on 
delivering solid outcomes in the key 
areas of safety, performance and 
profitability. We were also driven by 
our corporate social responsibilities, 
embracing a number of new 
initiatives for the betterment of our 
people and the broader community. 

2020

ORDER BOOK REACHED  
$1.2 BILLION
With a number of significant 
contracts and extensions awarded 
throughout FY2021, our order book 
reached $1.2 billion in November. 
This included contracts from Iron 
Bridge JV (IBJV), Woodside, BHP 
Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), Rio Tinto, 
Roy Hill, Alcoa Australia and Main 
Roads WA.

SUCCESSFUL CONTINUATION OF 
SEA 1180 OPV PROGRAM
We continued to make good progress 
on the Royal Australian Navy’s Offshore 
Patrol Vessel (OPV) Program, with keel 
laying for OPV3 held in September and 
construction commencement of OPV4 
in January. We now have two ships 
under consolidation in our new 
Assembly Hall. 

CAPITAL WORKS DIVISION FORMED 
Our Capital Works division was formed 
to provide additional resources and 
operational support for future Western 
Australian maintenance and capital 
works opportunities in the Energy and 
Resources sectors. This is a new target 
area of opportunity for the business, 
having only had minor interactions 
previously. The requirement comes from 
both existing and new clients, all of 
whom have a significant requirement for 
our multi-disciplined capability.

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021IMPLEMENTED OUR 
FORMALISED MENTAL HEALTH 
STRATEGY 
We introduced a three-year Mental 
Health Strategy to all areas of the 
business to ensure we are adequately 
prepared to address mental health 
issues across employees and 
their families, and offer them the 
best support at their time of need. 
Consistent with this renewed 
focus, we partnered with MATES in 
Construction, an important Australian 
charity that provides mental health and 
suicide prevention support for workers 
in the construction industry. 

SECURED PORT HEDLAND 
FACILITY 
We strategically expanded our 
geographical footprint, securing a 
facility in Port Hedland, Western 
Australia, putting us in closer 
proximity to major onshore and 
offshore Pilbara operations and 
providing additional support for our 
newly established Capital Works 
division. We subsequently made 
a long-term commitment to the 
region with the purchase of a five- 
hectare industrial landholding at the 
export hub, with plans underway 
for development of workshop and 
office facilities.

INTRODUCED PAID PARENTAL 
LEAVE SCHEME
With strong consideration for the 
value we place on our female 
employees, we introduced a Paid 
Parental Leave scheme, providing up 
to ten weeks’ paid leave for eligible 
employees across all regions upon 
the birth or adoption of a child in 
order to facilitate an enhanced  
work-life balance. Secondary carers 
may also receive up to two weeks’ 
paid leave.

2021

CREATED LOCAL EMPLOYMENT 
FOR MORE THAN 2,800 PEOPLE 
Over the course of the financial year, 
we directly employed approximately 
2,800 people at peak, including 
67 apprentices/pre-apprentices, 
56 graduates/undergraduates and 
10 trainees. We also engaged with 
students through schools, colleges 
and via career expos, providing 
students with an insight into our 
sustainable career pathways and 
training programs. 

COMPANY AND SAFETY AWARDS 
We won awards for the company and 
project specific safety performance, 
including the Skill Hire ‘Host Safety 
Award for 2020’, ‘Contractor of the 
Month’ across many of our sites, 
including the Kemerton Lithium Project 
and Rio Tinto’s Mesa projects. Several 
of our apprentices and trainees were 
also recognised for their achievements 
throughout the year, with many of 
them finalists in the annual awards for 
standout apprentices in the State.  

SUPPORTED VARIOUS 
COMMUNITY CHARITIES 
We are always conscious of the 
importance of our position and 
responsibilities within the community 
and this year we continued to care 
for those around us by supporting 
a number of charities, including 
St Patrick’s Community Support 
Centre, Foodbank, Cancer Council, 
RUAH and, most notably, the St. 
Vincent De Paul Society through the 
CEO Sleepout, where Civmec CEO 
Pat Tallon and Group Manager HR 
& IR Stephanie Baptist combined to 
raise some of the highest amounts 
in Western Australia.

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 20211.5

Financial  
Summary

The Group achieved a record Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of  
A$34.6 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (FY2021),  
representing a 98 per cent increase on the previous financial year. 
Revenue for FY2021 increased to A$674.2 million and Earnings  
Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA)  
increased to A$73.8 million.

The year end result was reflective of the Group’s 
efforts to generate growth in net profit returns and 
stable, reliable revenue in FY2021. Maintaining the 
positive momentum in profitability and revenue will 
remain a key priority going forward.  

Consistent with the previous year’s results, and 
with prudent management to ensure it had  
minimal effect, COVID-19 had no material impact 
on the Group’s financial performance at the end  
of FY2021.

Net cash generated from operating activities was 
A$58.3 million and, at year end, the Group had 
A$48.2 million cash in the bank. 

The Group ended FY2021 with a very strong order 
book of A$1.0 billion, representing a A$100 million 
increase from the FY2020 year end and fortifying 
the Group’s financial position as it enters FY2022. 
Forward tendering outlook remains positive  
with the Group now well diversified and firmly  
established to capitalise on future private and 
public infrastructure spend. 

Following the completion of major capital  
investment works in Henderson, the Group 
returned to regular capital expenditure in FY2021, 
with debt controlled and decreasing by $2.4 million 
over the period. The value of property, plant and 
equipment increased to A$412.0 million. Recent 
investment by the Group in establishing a Port 
Hedland presence will set the foundations for a 
successful longer term outcome when the  
Company develops the land purchased in the 
region, which is anticipated to generate a positive 
return on capital over the coming years.  

At completion of FY2021, the Group had  
total assets of A$636.9 million, net assets of 
A$292.1 million and net tangible asset backing of 
A$0.583 per share.

Executive Chairman’s 
Statement

On behalf of the Board of Directors,  
I am pleased to present the 2021  
Civmec Limited Annual Report.

In what has been another challenging year for many 
companies and countries globally, we are very pleased 
to have delivered some of our best results. I feel this 
is an outcome of the forward vision and strategy we 
have implemented since we commenced operations 
in 2009. Back then, we initiated a continuous 
development plan for the Henderson precinct, and  
we have now seen this plan through to completion.  
We have also made other geographical and 
operational adjustments within the growing business 
to ensure we establish a solid platform for a long-term, 
sustainable company. 

While we will continue to look for opportunities to 
further strengthen the business, there is a certain 
sense of fulfilment in witnessing what has been 
achieved to date, and I am proud of our entire 
workforce for their enthusiasm and efforts. We have 
delivered to our planning and have found ourselves in 
the strengthened position we are now in today. Going 
forward, our past capital investments have provided 
us with a substantial, tangible asset base that is stable 
and strong, while our diversification strategy now sees 
us firmly positioned to capitalise on opportunities 
across the sectors in which we operate, across public 
and private enterprise.

We have continued to service the market through 
another year of the pandemic, a trying period that has 
led many of our clients to see the increased value that 
Australian manufacturers can provide for their local 
projects. Our well-established local resource pools, 
state-of-the-art facilities and vast self-performance 
capability have not only enabled us to continue 
delivering a world-class service, but excel in doing so.   

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Our revenue for FY2021 was A$674.2 million, with a 
net profit after tax of A$34.6 million. These results are a 
pleasing validation of the strategies implemented during 
our growth phase of investment and expansion. 

In addition to our emphasis on improving profitability in 
FY2021, we maintained focus on sustaining cash flow 
and were awarded a significant number of new contracts 
across all sectors, taking our order book to as high as 
$1.2 billion in November 2020.  

The value of new and extended contracts awarded in 
FY2021 was A$780 million, comprising new projects and 
additional scopes in Energy (A$99 million); Resources, 
including maintenance and specialist refractory works 
(A$537 million); and Defence & Infrastructure (A$144 
million). A number of the significant projects awarded 
during FY2021 will carry forward into coming years, 
providing us with consistent revenue that will extend well 
beyond FY2022.

DIVIDENDS

With further strengthening of the balance sheet 
transpiring this financial year, a strong financial position 
overall and a demonstration of a genuine willingness to 
return value to our shareholders, this year we declared 
our first interim dividend of A$1.0 cents per share, 
which was paid in March 2021. I feel the business  
has matured significantly since inception and the 
interim distribution of funds to shareholders is reflective 
of the confidence we have in the future outlook for  
the business.  

The Board of Directors has also recommended a final 
cash dividend of A$1.0 cents per share, subject to 

14

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021shareholders’ approval at our Annual General Meeting 
on 29 October 2021. The full year dividend payment 
represents a 29 per cent payout ratio and will be paid 
on 17 December 2021.

OUR PEOPLE

In yet another year impacted by COVID-19, our 
workforce demonstrated incredible resilience and 
adaptability, particularly those who were considerably 
impacted by state border restrictions and lockdowns, 
and for this I am extremely grateful. 

I am pleased that we maintained our position as a 
significant Australian employer, not only providing 
certainty to our current employees, but also creating 
new opportunities for local workers, apprentices, 
trainees and graduates. In FY2021, we provided 
employment to approximately 2,800 workers at  
peak across Australia.

The strength and depth of our multi-skilled workforce, 
combined with the continuous upskilling opportunities 
we are making available to them, is now, I believe, one 
of our most significant differentials and an extremely 
valuable asset to our business. 

STRATEGY AND FUTURE FOCUS

While we entered FY2022 with a solid order book of 
A$1.0 billion, looking ahead, we will continue to focus 
on maintaining capital discipline, securing consistent 
revenue streams and further improving profitability to 
provide sustainable outcomes for the future. 

We believe our long-term strategy of diversification, in 
combination with our significant investment in property, 
plant and equipment over the years, has us positioned 
in excellent stead for upcoming contracts in both the 
private and public sectors. Our vertically integrated, 
turnkey offering enables us to service projects of all 
sizes and complexities, anywhere in the country, from 
our world-class facilities.

With a renewed consideration on Australian 
manufacturing and more clients recognising the 
tangible value in our high-quality, locally made 
product, we are optimistic on the sustainability of the 
business overall for many generations to come; a 
fundamental that will extend long beyond the current 
global situation that has been a consequence of the 
COVID-19 pandemic.  

On behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate 
and thank our people for the commendable results  
we have achieved this year. I appreciate the dedication 
and commitment you have shown and look forward  
to celebrating more successes together in the  
years ahead. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our 
clients for their continued confidence in us. Many of 
you have shared the journey with us for a number 
of years and we pledge to continue to deliver safely, 
efficiently and to the highest standards. 

To my fellow Executives and Independent Directors, I 
would like to acknowledge and thank you for your hard 
work and guidance.

And finally, to our investors, thank you for the trust and 
loyalty you have placed in us. I am confident that we are 
in a strong position to gain increasing benefit from our 
past strategic investments and that, in turn, will continue 
to drive shareholder returns in the coming years.  

Yours sincerely

James Fitzgerald

Although a small number of our projects were 
impacted by client constraints or pandemic 
restrictions, we were able to navigate this 
with strong communication, flexibility and 
collaboration. This approach, combined with 
our local manufacturing capabilities, has 
enabled us to keep our operations profitable 
and our people employed, providing our clients 
with surety of delivery in these uncertain times.  

With innovative methodologies, proven onsite 
and offsite delivery, and significantly increased 
capacity following completion of our world-
class Assembly Hall in Henderson, this year we 
have seen an increase in early engagement with 
clients on future projects. This is an indication 
that they are, more than ever, seeing the value 
of our turnkey solution offering, which includes 
our in-house local manufacturing capability.

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021This represents validation of our past investment 
decisions and gives us confidence in the long-term 
sustainability of the business. Our comprehensive 
service offering, now as a recognised Tier 1 contractor, 
has us well placed to pursue upcoming, large-scale 
opportunities in both the public and private sectors. 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
The Company maintained strong operational 
performance across all sectors, continuing to deliver 
core projects and securing several significant new 
contracts throughout the year. 

In the Energy sector, we continued to demonstrate 
our specialist subsea capabilities with works on the 
Chevron-operated Gorgon Stage Two (GS2) Subsea 
Installation Project, completing delivery of 15 buckle 
initiators for Allseas in January and continuing in the 
delivery of tie-in, jumper spools and spreader beams 
for TechnipFMC. The latter works are scheduled for 
completion in late 2021. We delivered interconnector 
and stair tower modules, skids and piping spools 
for Woodside’s Pluto-Karratha Gas Plant (KGP) 
Interconnector Project, via EPCM Worley, and a 
manifold and removable mudmat for Woodside’s 
Julimar Phase Two Project. We were also awarded 
a five-year term non-exclusive, non-binding outline 
agreement by Woodside to support their onshore and 
offshore production facilities and capital projects (with 
two one-year extension options available).

Our Resources division celebrated the successful 
full vertical delivery of the primary crushing and ore 
processing facility at Fortescue Metals Group’s new 
Eliwana mine in November, which included shop 
detailing and fabrication at Henderson and Newcastle, 
plus delivery and site installation of civil, structural, 
mechanical, piping and electrical works. We also 
completed the Larego overland conveyor package 
at Alcoa’s Willowdale mine. We continued to support 
the delivery of Australia’s largest lithium hydroxide 
plant, the Kemerton Lithium Project. Having earlier 
completed the civil concrete works, we have gone 
on to provide fabrication and onsite installation of the 
plant’s structural, mechanical, piping and insulation, 
as well as the supply and installation of refractory 
linings into the kilns we previously manufactured for 
the processing plant.  

The Iron Bridge Magnetite Project, a joint venture 
between Fortescue Metals Group subsidiary FMG 
Magnetite Pty Ltd and Formosa Steel IB Pty Ltd,  
awarded us three significant packages over the 
course of the year, firstly for civil and concrete works, 
then for the fabrication of various steel structures 
and components in a contract for the installation 
of modules, as well as a contract for the structural, 
mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation 
works on the project. We were awarded two separate 
contracts for the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) Hay 
Point Coal Terminal Project. These works include the 
fabrication, modularisation and commissioning of a 
ship loader, and to manufacture approximately 15,000 
tonnes of steelwork for the development of extensive 
port infrastructure. These are large and significant 

projects for our client, and the Queensland region, 
and it is pleasing that such a quality-conscious client  
has trusted us to deliver it, with a very  
collaborative approach. 

Highlighting the recognised value in our service 
offering, we were awarded several new packages 
by some of our other longest-standing clients. This 
included an additional package from Rio Tinto on 
the Robe Valley Sustaining Project to design and 
construct a fixed plant workshop at Mesa A, in 
addition to the previously awarded wet plant package, 
and a contract for the supply and installation of civil 
works for the new Mesa J secondary sizer. We also 
continued our ongoing relationship with Roy Hill 
with the award and delivery of a civil package for a 
de-bottlenecking project, while continuing to support 
BHP with a heavy engineering package for the 
manufacture of train load out (TLO) bin modules for 
their Jimblebar mine site. 

Delivery of the prestigious Royal Australian Navy 
SEA 1180 Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) Program 
continued, with several key milestones achieved 
during the year. This included the completion of 
the hull of OPV2, the keel laying of OPV3, and the 
construction commencement of OPV4. As of June 
2021, we had approximately 225 full time Civmec 
employees supporting construction of the OPVs 
from our Henderson facility. We also successfully 
completed construction of the multimillion-dollar 
Submarine Rescue Service (SRS) facility in Henderson 
for Phoenix International. 

In the Infrastructure space, we were engaged by Main 
Roads WA to deliver the Perth Kids’ Bridge Project, 
which was completed on schedule and now links the 
Perth Children’s Hospital with Kings Park, providing 
respite for children undergoing treatment in the 
hospital. I am confident that our successful delivery 
of this iconic project has cemented our status in the 
Western Australian public infrastructure sector and will 
hold us in good stead for future opportunities. We also 
delivered a number of infrastructure packages from 
our Newcastle facility, including further bridge projects 
for Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) including 
the completion of several significant bridge structures 
for the Berry to Bomaderry portion of the Princess 
Highway upgrade, south of Sydney.

Our east coast facility continued to work in synergy 
with the west, fabricating key components on major 
projects, which enabled us to expedite schedule and 
maximise output. Notably, this year, that included the 
manufacture of shuttle trusses, conveyor trusses, 
platework and stick steel on a significant new 
package of work awarded to us for the Rio Tinto 
Gudai-Darri (Koodaideri) Project. We were also able to 
utilise both facilities for the fabrication and delivery of 
structural steel and platework on Rio Tinto’s Mesa A, 
as well as fabrication of stainless steel hand rails and 
other items on the Hay Point ship loader. Additionally, 
following on from FY2020, our Newcastle facility has 
continued fabricating dumper tray bodies for heavy 
haul equipment suppliers to the Resources sector.

17

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021While our Maintenance division was slightly 
impacted by the rescheduling of some clients’ 
planned maintenance works, due to their 
COVID-19 risk mitigation measures whereby 
clients minimised the number of personnel on site, 
it remained an important division as we continued 
to deliver mechanical maintenance and refractory 
services across Western Australia, Queensland 
and the Northern Territory. We expect these works 
will be, at least, sustained over the next financial 
year, with increased activity anticipated as we 
advance from the pandemic. During the year, we 
also negotiated a new three-year maintenance 
contract with Alcoa Australia, continuing our long-
term relationship with the company. 

To complement our Maintenance division, we 
secured land for a new facility in Wedgefield, Port 
Hedland, giving us a prime base in the Pilbara to 
enable rapid mobilisation and support our clients’ 
onshore and offshore assets in the region. 

The Company maintained 
strong operational 
performance across all 
sectors, continuing to deliver 
core projects and securing 
several significant new projects 
throughout the year. 

Port Hedland is the world’s biggest bulk export 
port by tonnage and is the prime port for many 
of our clients, with close proximity to numerous 
LNG port facilities and Resources mine sites, so 
the significance of establishing in the area should 
not be underestimated. We see strong long-term 
opportunities for the business, particularly in 
maintenance and capital works, with the planned 
facility development, our Gladstone maintenance 
workshop and two manufacturing facilities.

Furthermore, we established a new Capital Works 
division, which provides focused support for 
maintenance and capital works in the Energy and 
Resources sectors. It is our strategic intent that 
this evolution of our service offering will ensure we 
have the resources and expertise to seize more 
opportunities in this area as the need for these 
services increases. 

OUR PEOPLE
We have continued to invest in the training  
and development of our people, utilising 
innovative programs devised to upskill and 
reinforce our capable team from within, and 
collaborating with local high schools, colleges, 
universities and government departments 
throughout the year.

Our Graduate Program has initiated an increase 
in the number of graduates, apprentices and 
trainees across the business, particularly in 
the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) 
and Engineering fields. It is also pleasing to 
report our intake of apprentices, graduates and 
trainees rose this year by 40 per cent. At the 
end of June, we had 150 apprentices, trainees 
and graduates on long-term structured training 
programs across a wide age demographic. We 
are conscious of the importance of giving the 
next generation of people the required skills to 
ensure we have a sustainable industry.

Cultivation of our in-house LEAD Program 
continues to provide our people with exciting, 
sustainable career pathways in the business. 
Tailored as a supervisor and leading hand 
training program, which includes four 
nationally accredited units delivered through 
our Registered Training Organisation, it was 
implemented to identify and upskill emerging 
leaders within the business. I am positive 
that by enhancing the knowledge and 
understanding of our supervisors, leading 
hands and management team, we can continue 
to attract and retain talent at the highest levels, 
paving the way for our future succession plan. 

In a testament to the quality of our programs, 
five of our apprentices were nominated in the 
2020 Skill Hire Awards, with our apprentice 
Hailey Maisey securing the “Apprentice Safety 
Awareness” award. We were also thrilled to 
receive the “Host Safety Award for 2020” at  
this event.

Acknowledging that our responsibilities  
extend beyond our immediate employees,  
we have continued to foster mutually beneficial 
relationships with a wide range of local 
subcontractors, with a particular emphasis  
on increasing our indigenous engagement.  
This has, in turn, been recognised for helping  
to provide employment and other benefits to 
those businesses, their employees and the 
wider community. 

I would also like to draw attention to the 
incredible generosity of our people in supporting 

18

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021various charities this financial year. Whether 
it be volunteering time, donating money or 
goods, recycling containers or baking for charity 
morning teas, it all contributes to creating a 
better community and positive work culture, 
both of which I am extremely proud to be a  
part of. 

STRATEGY AND FUTURE FOCUS
Going forward, we will continue to maximise the 
utilisation of our modern, well-equipped facilities 
and tangible assets, gaining value from our 
earlier diversification and significant investments 
on both sides of the country. With an aim to 
capitalise on future government and private 
spend, we will target profitable construction, 
manufacturing, sustaining capital and 
maintenance opportunities, be it the complete 
vertical delivery of new projects and expansions, 
or separable works portions. 

Our OPV Program will provide us with sustained 
revenue until 2029, and we are confident that 
additional opportunities will emerge in the 
Defence sector as the Federal Government 
continues to expand its naval shipbuilding and 
sustainment program. I also believe we have 
solid potential to increase our revenue in the 
public Infrastructure sector, particularly given 
our status as a Tier 1 contractor and proven 
ability to deliver. 

The establishment of our Capital Works division, 
coupled with our new Port Hedland facility, has 
strengthened our service offering in sustaining 
and brownfields projects, and we believe we 
are well poised for growth in these areas in the 
coming years.

Since we commenced our initial operations, 
we have worked hard to develop and maintain 
a strong, capable team. To this end, I firmly 
believe in the skills and capabilities of our 
workforce; a workforce which is led by an 
exceptional management and executive team, 
and one which is only set to broaden in depth 
and capacity as more talent is identified and 
nurtured from within. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank 
our people for their hard work and dedication, 
their diligence and resilience over the past 
year, particularly in adapting to the necessary 
changes we have had to make in light of 
COVID-19. 

To our clients, thank you for the ongoing trust 
you place in us. As always, our focus remains 
on delivering an exceptional-quality product 
to you in the safest, most efficient way. We 
look forward to continuing to support you, 
sustainably, in the years ahead. 

And finally, a word of thanks to our 
shareholders, whose support is always much 
appreciated and for whom we will continue to 
work diligently to ensure positive outcomes.

Yours sincerely

Patrick Tallon

With a wide range of experience on 
significant Energy projects over the 
years and specialist subsea capabilities, 
our increased capacity at Henderson is 
providing clients with more opportunities 
to engage as they seek to unlock 
the value of our local manufacturing 
capabilities.

Our works on the Chevron-operated 
Gorgon natural gas facility continued in 
FY2021, specifically the Gorgon Stage 2 
(GS2) Subsea Installation Project, an 
expansion to the subsea gas gathering 
network to maintain long-term natural 
gas supply to the LNG facility on Barrow 
Island. Of the two GS2 packages 
awarded to Civmec in the previous year, 
we completed delivery of 15 buckle 
initiators for client Allseas in November. 
The scope included the supply, 
fabrication, application of a specialist 
subsea painting system, and testing 
of the buckle initiators, each weighing 
approximately 55 tonnes, before trial 
lifting and loadout from the Australian 
Marine Complex (AMC). Delivery of the 
tie-in, jumper spools and spreader beams 
for Technip FMC is ongoing, with the 
scope including fabrication and testing of 
the 2,200 tonnes of components. All work 
on the GS2 project is being undertaken 
at either our state-of-the-art Henderson 
facility or the Common User Facility at the 
AMC. This includes post-metrology and 
factory acceptance testing, with loadout 
occurring from the Common User Facility.

In a demonstration of our diverse depth 
of skills and capabilities, our works for 
Woodside – via EPCM contractor Worley 
– on the Pluto-Karratha Gas Plant (KGP) 
Interconnector Project were successfully 
completed in June. The Interconnector 
Project was developed to transport 
gas from the Woodside-operated 
Pluto LNG facility to the North West 
Shelf Project’s KGP via a five-kilometre 

pipeline, providing an opportunity to take 
advantage of future excess capacity at 
KGP and the potential to accelerate future 
developments of other offshore Pluto gas 
reserves, as well as third-party resources. 
Our overall scope of work for the project 
included the supply, fabrication, surface 
treatment, assembly, testing and delivery 
of an interconnector module, stair tower 
module, skids and more than three and a 
half kilometres of piping spools. 

During the year, we completed a 
package for Woodside’s Julimar Phase 
2 Project for the supply, fabrication, 
surface treatment, testing and delivery 
free alongside (FAS) of a manifold and 
removable mudmat foundation. 

Our Manufacturing division received  
a significant boost with the award of  
a five-year term non-exclusive, non-
binding outline agreement by Woodside, 
with two possible one-year extension 
options, to support their onshore  
and offshore production facilities and 
capital projects. This includes the 
provision of miscellaneous piping and 
structural steel fabrication, surface 
treatment and assembly, in a range  
of separate packages.

With the vast capacity of our cutting-
edge facilities, we will continue to target 
new projects and expansions, along 
with ongoing asset maintenance and 
turnaround packages across Australia, 
in anticipation of increased activity in the 
sector as time progresses. Given our 
extensive experience, strong suite of 
specialised capabilities and modern plant 
and equipment, we are well positioned to 
capitalise on future opportunities in the 
sector as they come to market.

Full vertical delivery of the Primary 
Crushing and Ore Processing Facility at 
Fortescue Metals Group’s new Eliwana 
mine was achieved in November, 
strengthening our relationship with 
Fortescue. The scope of works on 
the project included the facility’s iron 
ore loading, primary, secondary and 
tertiary crushing, ore screening and 
associated conveyor systems, up to no 
load commissioning. Shop detailing and 
fabrication was undertaken at both our 
Henderson and Newcastle facilities, with 
the package also incorporating delivery 
and site installation of the civil, structural, 
mechanical, piping and electrical works.  

Continuing to attest to our solid reputation 
in the Resources sector, we were 
awarded a substantial stand-alone civil 
contract on the Iron Bridge Magnetite 
Project, located 145 kilometres south 
of Port Hedland in Western Australia’s 
Pilbara region. The new mine will support 
the production of 22 wet million tonnes 
per annum (wmtpa) of high grade, 
magnetite concentrate product. The 
contract, awarded by the Iron Bridge 
Joint Venture (IBJV) comprising Fortescue  
Metals Group subsidiary FMG Magnetite 
Pty Ltd and Formosa Steel IB Pty Ltd, 
includes construction of the detailed 
earthworks and structural concrete 
components for the dry plant. Following 
this, in September, we were awarded 
an additional major contract by IBJV for 
the fabrication and modular assembly 
of 4,700 tonnes of conveyor, trusses, 
trestles and modules for the dry plant, 
and in November, a contract for the onsite 
structural, mechanical, module installation, 
electrical and instrumentation works.

Our relationship with Rio Tinto continued  
over the year, beginning with an award on 
the Robe Valley Sustaining (RVS) Iron Ore 
Project in the Pilbara, and followed by 
additional contracts awarded in the Mesa 
A and Mesa J operational hubs. The initial 
package comprised the supply, fabrication, 
modularisation, transportation to site, 
erection, modification, installation, and 
commissioning of structural, mechanical, 
piping (SMP), electrical and 
instrumentation, and communication 
work for the Mesa A Wet Plant. We 
were later awarded a contract for the 
design and construction of a fixed plant 
workshop on the same site. In August 
2020, this was followed with a package 
for the supply and delivery of a civil works 
package for the new Mesa J Secondary 
Sizer/Train Load Out (TLO) Facility and 
associated items, including earthworks, 
removal of redundant services, services 
infrastructure, deconstruction works, 
modification works, stacker tyre wall and 
bogie track. The Mesa J works were 
completed in April 2021.

Additionally, we were awarded a package 
by Rio Tinto for the supply, fabrication, 
surface treatment and modularisation of 
approximately 1,500 tonnes of shuttle 
trusses, conveyor trusses, platework 
and stick steel for their Gudai-Darri 
(Koodaideri) Project. Once complete, 
Gudai-Darri will produce up to 43 million 
tonnes of iron ore a year, becoming a 
new production hub for Rio Tinto’s iron 
ore business. Our scope of work will 
be undertaken at both our Henderson 
and Newcastle facilities, maximising 
efficiencies in capacity and schedule, and 
is due for completion this year.

27

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021Continuing to leverage our multi-disciplined 
capabilities in the sector, we were awarded a 
major package of work on the BHP Mitsubishi 
Alliance (BMA) Ship Loader and Berth 
Replacement (SABR) Project at Hay Point 
Coal Terminal, located 40 kilometres from 
Mackay, Queensland. The package comprises 
the supply, fabrication, surface treatment, 
assembly and no-load commissioning of a 
complete 1,800-tonne ship loader for the 
loading port. The equipment will be fabricated 
and assembled at our Henderson facility before 
being delivered FAS (free alongside) a heavy lift 
ship at the Australian Marine Complex (AMC), 
and then transported in one shipment from the 
AMC to Queensland. 

Delivery of the Kemerton Lithium Plant, near 
the Western Australian port town of Bunbury, 
is ongoing, with the completed plant set 
to become the largest lithium hydroxide 
conversion plant in Australia. Located within 
the Kemerton Strategic Industrial Area, 
approximately 160 kilometres south of Perth, 
our extensive scope includes the site civil 
works, fabrication and onsite installation of 
tanks, structural, mechanical, piping and 
insulation for the hydromet, final product, 
reagents and utilities for Trains 1 and 2. We 
are also supplying and installing all refractory 
lining and, under a separate contract directly 
with Metso, we manufactured kilns required 
for the processing plant. Works on the project 
are progressing, with fabrication and supply 

of two trains complete and site works on the 
installation ongoing. In a demonstration of our 
Never Assume safety culture, in March 2021, 
we achieved one million man hours on the 
project without a lost time incident on site. 

In the latter part of the year, we delivered a 
package for the supply, manufacture, trial 
assembly and delivery FAS of four main train 
load out (TLO) bin modules for the BHP 
Jimblebar Project. We also finalised delivery  
of key components for BHP’s world-class 
US$3.6 billion South Flank iron ore mine in  
the Pilbara. Vertical delivery of the Larego 
overland conveyor package at Alcoa’s 
Willowdale mine was achieved, closing  
out a significant works package that 
encompassed civil works, fabrication,  
structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, 
instrumentation and no-load commissioning. 

Long-term client, Roy Hill, awarded us a 
civil works package for a de-bottlenecking 
project involving detailed earthworks, concrete 
placement, cabling and pipework. This was in 
addition to the Run-of-Mine (ROM) packages 
awarded to us last year, of which all fabricated 
components were delivered this year.  

Our presence in the Pilbara was strengthened 
as we secured a new Port Hedland facility, 
providing us with a permanent base to mobilise 
a local workforce who will be readily on hand 
for our onshore and offshore clients in Western 
Australia’s north.  

28

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021Our maintenance revenue stream was 
sustained, and, although some areas 
of activity slowed in response to the 
pandemic, we continued to deliver ongoing 
maintenance works packages to key clients, 
including Fortescue Metals Group, Rio Tinto, 
Alcoa, QAL and Roy Hill. In early 2021, 
we were awarded a significant three-year 
contract by Alcoa of Australia to provide 
calciner maintenance, major overhaul and 
repair services to their Kwinana, Pinjarra and 
Wagerup refineries. 

During the year, we established a new 
Capital Works division in anticipation of 
increased activity in the capital works space 
in the future. This division will focus on 
delivering capital upgrades to operating 
plants, allowing our clients to achieve 
incremental gains or capacity increases,  
and will complement our already well-
established Maintenance division. Both 
divisions are being overseen by strong, 
experienced teams. 

Despite the challenges presented during 
another year of COVID-19, when it came 
to resourcing, we were able to successfully 
recruit quality employees and have witnessed 
many of our talented people develop and 
shine in our future leaders’ team. 

With long-standing relationships secured 
with blue-chip clients and a demonstrated 
success in our construction, manufacturing 
and maintenance offering, the outlook 
remains positive as we continue to support 
the safe, high-quality and timely delivery of 
vital Australian resource projects.

As a Tier 1 contractor with the required 
financial accreditation for major public 
infrastructure projects and the proven 
expertise to deliver complex builds, 
both onsite and offsite, we provide a 
fully integrated service offering to both 
sectors from the largest undercover 
modularisation and assembly facility  
in Australia.

Our 53,000m² (usable floor area) 
Assembly Hall at Henderson, with more 
than 1.2 million cubic metres of internal 
space, has facilitated the success of our 
works on the Royal Australian Navy’s 
Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) Program 
to date. The ten-year project, which 
commenced in 2018, includes the supply 
and processing of steel for twelve vessels. 
Following the build of the first two vessels 
in South Australia, using steel plates and 
pipework processed and manufactured 
at Henderson, we are undertaking the 
fabrication and consolidation of the 
follow-on ten vessels to be completed in 
Western Australia. 

In September 2020, we held a keel 
laying ceremony for OPV3, marking the 
beginning of the consolidation phase for 
the third vessel, while works on OPV4 
commenced in January. Completion of 
the OPV2 hull was achieved in February, 
which represented an important milestone 
in the program. More recently, with 
optimising productivities in mind, and in 
order to streamline construction of several 
vessels simultaneously, we designed and 
implemented an innovative block rotation 
technique, which will deliver repeated cost 
and schedule efficiencies as we complete 
the build of all ten vessels at Henderson in 
the coming years.  

We will continue to provide a fully 
integrated service offering to the 
Defence sector for the construction 
of naval vessels and will support the 
Federal Government’s long-term Naval 
Shipbuilding Plan, focused on building a 
sustainable Australian naval shipbuilding 
and sustainment industry. 

FY2021 saw us awarded a prestigious 
public infrastructure project by Main 
Roads WA for the construction of a 
new bridge across Winthrop Avenue in 
Nedlands, linking Perth Children’s Hospital 
to Kings Park. Known as the Perth Kids’ 
Bridge or “Koolangka” Bridge (meaning 
“children” in Noongar), the colourful, 
217-metre long, architecturally designed 
pedestrian bridge was conceived to 
enable sick children and their carers a 
safe passage across a busy thoroughfare 
between the hospital and adjacent 
parkland, and was successfully delivered 
in a short 24-week program.  

Civil infrastructure projects undertaken 
from our east coast facility during FY2021 
supported the delivery of a number of 
bridge projects in New South Wales, 
including several bridge structures 
between Berry and Bomaderry on the 
Princess Highway upgrade program, 
south of Sydney, which were completed in 
December. We also provided fabrication, 
supply, and delivery of structural steel for 
a number of Transport for NSW (TfNSW) 
bridge projects, including truss span steel 
for the Briner Bridge capacity upgrade, 
fabricated elements for the Liddell 
Deviation Bridge, integral panels for the 
Coldstream River Bridge and various steel 
components for the Manilla Bridge truss 
steel piers.

In Western Australia, construction was 
completed on the multimillion-dollar 
Submarine Rescue Service (SRS) facility, 
which commenced in June 2020. The 
facility was designed to support the Royal 
Australian Navy’s submarine fleet and 
has increased that support capacity and 
capability within the Australian Marine 
Complex (AMC) precinct. The SRS 
facility was constructed to house a rapid 
launch and recovery system, hyperbaric 
treatment unit, and maintenance training 
and testing infrastructure, with a seven-
metre-deep pool. Its close proximity to 
the AMC’s Common User Facility will 
enable rapid mobilisation in the event of a 
disabled submarine in the region. 

33

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021Additionally, within the Western Australian 
manufacturing division, we were awarded a 
second major project for the BHP Mitsubishi 
Alliance at Hay Point to deliver a marine and 
infrastructure upgrade package to improve 
the wharf facilities at the port location. The 
package involves a significant amount of heavy 
steel plate, which will be manufactured into 
large structural wharf beams and assembled 
in modules, prior to being shipped from 
Henderson to the Queensland location. The 
award was the result of months of early 
contract involvement with the owner and onsite 
installation contractor, culminating in a solution 
that utilises our Western Australian facility for 
heavy engineering and fabrication works, and 

highlights the confidence clients place in our 
local manufacturing capability and capacity. 

As the government continues to commit 
substantial investment into national and state 
infrastructure projects to drive economic 
recovery from COVID-19, we will continue  
to target major projects in the public sector,  
in addition to the private sector, as a  
Tier 1 contractor with a fully integrated,  
multi-disciplined service offering. We have the 
in-house capabilities and capacity to undertake 
complex construction projects, anywhere in 
Australia, with our supply chain advantages 
providing clients with delivery surety and 
schedule reliability.

Health, Safety, 
Environment & 
Quality (HSEQ) 

Our strong commitment 
to best practice in Health, 
Safety, Environment 
and Quality will enable 
us to deliver successful 
projects, community 
and stakeholder 
wellbeing, and long-term 
sustainability.

HEALTH & SAFETY 
At Civmec, the health and safety of our people 
is our number one priority. Our focus remains 
on ensuring we create an environment free from 
injuries and a culture focused on employee 
wellbeing. It is this strong safety culture that 
forms the premise of our Never Assume 
principle, which empowers our people to look 
after themselves and those around them. The 
holistic philosophy considers safety, quality, 
the environment, the health and wellbeing of 
all stakeholders, and all critical factors that 
drive our business’s long-term sustainability. 
We aim to be a company of forward-thinkers 
who strive for excellence and new ways to 
deliver improved safety, productivity, and 
sustainable outcomes. Our focus on continual 
improvement encourages our employees to 
strive for innovation in every project or task we 
deliver, and through our enhanced reward and 
recognition program, we remain committed to 
providing opportunities for our people. 

38

The program has continued to play an essential 
role in making employees more accountable 
for their safety in our operations by rewarding 
positive safety behaviours and building and 
shaping our safety culture across the company. 
Civmec’s Health and Safety Management 
System is certified to ISO 45001:2018.

We have continued to update our health, safety 
and environment (HSE) procedures throughout 
the year in response to the COVID-19 
pandemic, the challenges it presents, and to 
ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of our 
employees and the communities in which we 
operate. We have invested considerable time 
into ensuring we continue to focus on and 

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021An internal sustainability group, consisting of employees 
with knowledge on sustainability, was created during 
FY2021 to come up with initiatives to enhance our 
sustainability performance in the immediate and long term. 

improve the practices we have in place. Working 
together through the pandemic, we have seen the 
impact that it can have on the mental health of our 
people. The impact of COVID-19 was particularly 
significant for some of our employees who were 
unable to return home due to interstate and 
international travel restrictions. Our HR department 
kept in regular contact with these employees and 
their families, offering support and access to our 
Employee Assistance Program (EAP), as well as 
sending personalised care packages to the families 
of our east coast and New Zealand employees. 

With so many challenges being faced by our 
people, and impacts being felt on our employees’ 
mental wellbeing due to COVID-19 uncertainty 
and restrictions, this year was very timely for us to 
implement our three-year Mental Health Strategy 
for 2021 to 2024. The strategy provides a formal 
structure and sets goals for us to measure our 
performance on. 

The Mental Health Strategy has been put in place 
to drive mental health promotion throughout the 
business and keep it at the forefront of our minds.  
It encompasses:

• 

• 

• 

key management responsibilities and resource 
commitments to allow us to achieve the 
objectives of the strategy;
the requirement of risk assessments to 
identify critical psychosocial risks and ensure 
appropriate and suitable control measures are 
implemented;
the establishment of a key industry partnership 
with MATES in Construction, an alignment that 
acknowledges suicide prevention leadership 

and support with the vision to create a 
mutually safer workplace by delivering 
suicide prevention education, peer to 
peer support, case management, and 
access to a 24/7 helpline;
key procedural documents required to 
ensure corporate and operational level 
integration of requirements;
the introduction of a targeted auditing 
program to ensure implementation of the 
program is consistent across different 
areas of the business;
key formal training and awareness 
packages to help promote mental health 
in the workplace; and

• 

• 

• 

•  an increased range of support services 

available to our workforce to ensure that 
if help is needed, it is readily available 
and user friendly.

We implemented several safety initiatives in 
FY2021 to improve our health and safety 
system and drive long-term improvements 
in safety performance. The introduction of 
our ‘See it, Own it’ campaign has helped to 
promote and drive individual accountability 
for safety throughout our operations.  
Individuals took ownership of work areas and 
influenced positive safety change amongst 
work crews and teams. 

The ‘Finish Strong 2020’ campaign was 
rolled out across the business in November 
last year to assist with maintaining focus in 
the lead up to the festive season, which is 
known to be a high-risk time of the year.  

39

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021This change in work practice not only enhanced 
worker safety but also increased efficiency. 

By implementing a series of health and safety 
initiatives to improve our management system 
further, and ultimately promote continual 
improvement of health and safety performance, 
we have seen a pleasing reduction in our Total 
Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) from 
the previous financial year. 

As we plan for the year ahead, we will remain 
focused on strengthening the systems we 
have in place, ensuring we are continually 
planning and implementing best practice for 
risk reduction strategies. Our uncompromising 
approach to health and safety will provide 
long-term, sustainable safety solutions for our 
people. 

This focus continued into the new year with 
the ‘Kick Start 2021’ program, and included an 
increased site presence of our executive and 
senior organisational leaders in the first four 
weeks of operation in 2021. 

Several other project-specific initiatives and 
strong project safety performances have 
returned positive results, with a number of 
our projects earning us ‘Contractor of the 
Month’ awards. Of particular note was being 
presented two client-orchestrated awards in 
a ‘Make A Difference’ program for separate 
safety and health initiatives. The safety award 
was in recognition of our new starter ‘Buddy’ 
program, which was successfully implemented 
on site over a period that saw a significant 
increase in personnel mobilisations; while the 
health award was for recognising a heat-related 
risk to workers in certain isolated work areas 
and addressing it by utilising a portable shade 
shelter that could be moved along as their work 
task moved and progressed. 

The way we manage safety starts with our six 
Critical Safety Essentials, and by integrating 
them into our planning, communication, and 
risk management processes, they continue to 
form the foundation of how we operate. We 
have increased our focus on strengthening 
HSE communication across the company, with 
a particular emphasis on lessons learned from 
incidents and active engineering solutions to 
avoid or eliminate significant safety hazards. An 
example of this is an engineered solution for the 
removal of an impact frame during maintenance 
work to prevent line of fire hand injuries.  

40

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021QUALITY
Quality is a key component of all areas of  
our business, from project solutions through  
to providing our clients with high-quality 
products. Our quality management system  
is certified to ISO 9001:2015, the internationally 
recognised standard for quality management. 
Our facilities across Australia hold certification 
to ISO 3834.2:2008, ‘Quality requirements  
for fusion welding of metallic materials  
(Part 2: Comprehensive quality requirements)’, 
which demonstrates the Company’s welding 
management system meets the most stringent 
requirements. We also hold CC3 certification 
to the requirements of AS/NZS 5131:2016 
‘Structural Steelwork - Fabrication and Erection’.

Along with our quality management system for 
governing quality assurance on a project, part 
of what makes Civmec different from others is 
our award-winning Project Controls System, 
Civtrac. It is a single platform capturing project 
delivery data from design to commissioning, 
providing key insights and controls to ensure 
delivery of a quality product on time and 
on budget. Continual investment has been 
made throughout the year into our Business 
Management Systems with a new Civtrac 
mobile application currently in development. 

Fundamental to our success, Civmec’s 
strategic orientation is supported by the 
Quality team, which develops and implements 
quality programs that identify and manage 
risk while driving improvement. Our Quality 
team ensures that our systems comply with 
certification standards and industry best 
practices, examining and revising our processes 
and procedures continuously throughout the 
lifespan of a project.

ENVIRONMENT 
This year, there has been a significant focus 
on our sustainability performance and our 
business’s long-term effects on our external 
environment. Our attention remains on 
developing an environmentally conscientious 
culture through leadership, communication, and 
training, as we understand it is critical to our 
ongoing sustainability. 

Civmec 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. 

During FY2021 we undertook many activities 
to support our sustainability. Some examples of 
this include: 

•  committing to the development of a new 
sustainability charter and supporting 
procedures for launch in FY2022, which will  
set targets and hold us accountable for our 
carbon emissions;

•  assessing the feasibility of powering our 

current facilities with solar energy, and 
committing to assessing the performance 
of renewable energy options on all 
new facilities moving forward, including 
currently studying the economic, social 
and environmental costs and benefits 
associated with the implementation; and 
supporting the development of Western 
Australia’s critical battery mineral industry 
with constructability input for major  
lithium producers. 

• 

In addition to our existing measures, we 
continue to look for new ways to improve 
our environmental performance, focusing on 
resource and energy efficiency. Our continual 
improvement strategy is based on: 

•  measuring and monitoring our inputs 
(energy, water, materials) and outputs 
(waste and emissions) to better understand 
our environmental impacts and track 
performance and improvement over time;

•  continually expanding and improving 

our environmental training materials and 
programs to communicate environmental 
requirements and raise awareness;
improving our waste management system 
by reducing the amount of waste sent to 
landfills and increasing recycling rates; and
investigating suitable opportunity for the 
utilisation of renewable energy options 
across our business.

Our People

We understand the importance of offering a 
healthy workplace for employees to thrive in 
and are focused on promoting an environment 
that embraces an inclusive and diverse culture. 
Our employees remain the core of our business 
and their commitment and high performance is 
what drives our company’s success.

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Civmec’s Registered Training Organisation (RTO 
54625) continued to operate as usual through 
FY2021, despite some training restrictions 
imposed due to COVID-19. The restrictions, 
although minimal, did require the RTO to reduce 
class sizes to maintain social distancing and 
ensure worker safety. Despite this, enrolments 
increased by 30 per cent from 1,259 in FY2020 
to 1,777 in FY2021. 

To accommodate the increase in enrolments, 
the RTO has developed new training initiatives 
to maximise operational efficiency whilst 
ensuring the integrity and quality of training 
is not compromised. These initiatives include 
moving some of the training modules to a 
Learning Management System (LMS) where 
e-learning can be delivered to our remote 
worksites via live video training sessions.

We aim to ensure that the workforce is made 
up of individuals with diverse skills, values,

backgrounds and experience to the benefit 
of Civmec. This now includes a number of 
nationally recognised units of competence 
taught in Mandarin, which is the first language 
of a portion of our workforce, with English being 
their second. Providing the option to study in 
their first language, we believe, will optimise 
comprehension of new learnings as well as 
promote inclusion in the workplace. Civmec  
is one of the few training organisations in 
Australia providing this service to our  
students and employees.

We have increased our support of local high 
schools and colleges, providing coaching 
and mentoring to teachers, and guidance to 
Vocational Education Co-ordinators. One of the 
highlights of the year was the Seton College 
Tour. 140 year 10, 11 and 12 students were 
provided the opportunity to have a guided tour 
of the Henderson facility, led by the Learning 
and Development team. The students were 
provided with a running commentary of the 
facility and the current projects across the 
various sectors we operate. The tour route 
followed the journey of the steel, from laydown 
and fabrication through to final assembly.

Cecil Andrews College “World of Work”  
was another highlight for Civmec, which gave 
the student cohort an opportunity to interact 
with some of the remote-controlled plant we 
utilise on our projects, and link their studies  
in Science, Technology, Engineering and  
Maths (STEM) to real world equipment  
and applications. 

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021With a continually 
growing workforce, 
Civmec strives to 
create an environment 
where our people are 
supported and provided 
with opportunities to 
develop and enhance 
their careers. 

In this reporting period, we have increased 
our commitment and investment in Australian 
apprenticeships, traineeships and graduate engineer 
positions. There have been 150 apprentices, trainees 
and graduates across our operations during FY2021, 
representing a significant increase of 40 per cent 
across the business. Our apprentices include those 
in the metal trades (boilermakers and welders), 
bricklayers (for the refractory division), carpenters, 
mechanical, surface treatment and electrical trades; 
while our trainees provide functional support in 
business administration, human resources, quality 
control and logistics. 

With our HSE Graduate Program successfully 
upskilling and developing many HSE professionals 
since it was established in 2018, four of our 
graduates within the program have now completed 
their two-year term and progressed as HSE Advisors 
across our business. As a result of the success, we 
have expanded the intake and employed six new 
HSE graduates that have already commenced the 
two-year program. Our Graduate Engineer intake in 
FY2020 of five graduates increased to 20 for FY2021 
and provides a formal structured training plan, which 
includes five rotations through the various disciplines 
of our company. In November 2020, we also 
launched our first formal Engineering Undergraduate 
Vacation Work Program, which consisted of seven 
young engineers who were engaged for a ten-week 
paid program. The undergraduates rotated through 
the business in order to better understand what 

Civmec offers through our operating sectors 
and they can consider returning to the 
company once they complete their studies. 

Australian traineeships overall have increased 
significantly in an effort to alleviate a 
perceived skills shortages in the Defence 
industry with the creation of traineeships in 
supply chain solutions and opportunities for 
school leavers in business administration.

This financial year, we also increased support 
for our hosted apprentices with a dedicated 
full-time mentor and coach provided by 
Skill Hire, our apprenticeship partners. 37 
new apprentices commenced with Civmec 
in FY2021, taking our total of hosted 
apprentices to 67. Five of our talented young 
apprentices received finalist nominations 
in their categories at the 2020 Skill Hire 
Awards. We were also extremely pleased to 
receive the Skill Hire “Host Safety Award for

Civmec works tirelessly on building 
a workplace where people of varying 
backgrounds, sexual orientation, ages 
and gender identity or expression work 
together in an environment where everyone’s 
contribution is respected and acknowledged 
equally. We understand the importance 

43

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021of the possibilities available in traditionally  
male occupations. 

Seven of our entry level female employees have 
chosen to complete a Company supported 
business administration traineeship. These 
opportunities have been provided to a variety of 
departments, including Administration Support, 
Payroll, Human Resources and Quality Control. 

diversity can bring to our business and remain 
committed to fostering an environment which  
is reflective of our core company values. 
Diversity in our workforce is fundamental to 
cultivating a balanced culture and enriches 
our perspectives, knowledge, and capabilities 
across the business. 

Throughout the financial year, we have seen 
an increased percentage of female employees 
in sectors such as apprenticeships, machine 
operators and drivers, trade support and 
management. Throughout operations and 
project delivery, our goal has been to continually 
promote opportunity for female engagement in 
traditionally male-dominated professions.

As we are focusing our efforts at the 
grassroots level, we currently have three 
female apprentices: a Second Year Welding 
Apprentice who is currently working on the 
Offshore Patrol Vessels Project, a First Year 
Boilermaker Apprentice who started her career 
at Civmec through a pre-apprenticeship during 
the Christmas school holidays, deciding to 
commence an apprenticeship at the end of 
that period, and a first Year Mechanical Fitter 
Apprentice who commenced with us as a  
Trade Assistant on one of our Fly In, Fly Out 
(FIFO) projects, where her passion for a trade 
was identified and her employment progressed 
into an apprenticeship during the Eliwana 
Project. These females are important to our 
apprentice program and provide examples

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT 
Civmec respects the land, culture, and heritage of 
Indigenous people. We are dedicated to creating 
a workplace that prioritises our relationships with 
Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander (ATSI) people 
and their communities with a significant focus 
on creating opportunities for ATSI people in our 
business and supply chain. 

During this financial year, across the business, 
six per cent of participants in our apprenticeship 
program are of ATSI descent. They are employed 
within our manufacturing, construction and 
maintenance areas. Two of these apprentices 
started as Trade Assistants on a project and 
progressed their career through an apprenticeship. 
We also have a painting apprentice who is a mature-
age employee who wished to gain a trade skill after 
previous experience in the Navy and FIFO. 

Going forward, we aim to increase employee and 
community engagement in ATSI communities, and 
we strive to continue to provide ATSI people with 
equal training and job opportunities. We remain 
committed to utilising ATSI businesses for supply 
and subcontract opportunities.

Community 
Engagement

Over the year, Civmec has 
contributed greatly to several 
community initiatives and, together 
with our employees, frequently 
raised funds for and volunteered 
time to various charitable causes.  
We have a long-term commitment 
to the communities we operate 
in and, as a proudly Australian 
business, we aim to employ local 
people and use local suppliers. 

CEO Sleepout 
This year, Civmec CEO Pat Tallon and Group Manager HR & 
IR Stephanie Baptist took part in the Vinnie’s CEO Sleepout. 
With the generous support of many, we were delighted to 
exceed our target and raise almost $60,000 for the cause, 
which will go towards helping to break the cycle of poverty 
and homelessness in our community.

St Patrick’s Volunteering
In December, we supported St Patrick’s Community Support 
Centre, a charity local to our Henderson facility, that provides 
services to struggling people and families. Many of our 
employees volunteered to lend a hand, packing Christmas 
hampers for those in our community that are homeless or 
vulnerable to homelessness. We were also lucky enough 
to be given a tour of their facility, seeing first-hand all the 
amazing support and services they provide to people in need.

Australia’s Biggest 
Morning Tea 
In support of Cancer Council Australia, we participated 
in Australia’s Biggest Morning tea to raise much-needed 
funds to go towards vital cancer research, support 
services, prevention programs, and advocacy. 

Ruah Christmas Gift 
Donation

Christmas can be a difficult time for many, so our people 
came together and donated gifts for children and women 
to Ruah Community Services. Ruah provides resources 
to those dealing with homelessness, domestic violence 
and chronic mental illness.  

46

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021Civmec remains committed to supporting the communities we 
operate in through partnerships, sponsorships and fundraising. 
In line with our Make A Difference value, we empower our 
employees to join us in assisting the communities and charity 
groups that we support. 

Foodbank Donation 
Drive-Thru
In the lead up to Easter, our Henderson team generously 
donated food and other non-perishable supplies to the 
Foodbank WA Donation Drive-Thru campaign. We were 
able to drop off a utility vehicle load of donations, which 
was used by Foodbank, Australia’s largest food relief 
organisation, to create care hampers for West Australians 
experiencing homelessness.

R U OK? Day 
The mental health and wellbeing of our people is important 
to Civmec and has been a particular focus for us in FY2021. 
This year, we again supported R U OK? Day, a national day 
of action that reminds Australians to ask each other, “Are 
you OK?”. By encouraging our employees to reach out 
and check in on one another, we hope to drive continued 
discussion around mental health, reducing the stigma and 
empowering our people to seek support when it’s needed.

Containers for Change
During the year, we implemented a new community 
initiative across our Henderson facility called Containers 
for Change. Every eligible container collected is worth ten 
cents, with all money raised going directly to St Patrick’s 
Community Support Centre. Their goal is to serve the 
community through providing holistic, supportive and 
quality care to those most in need through services, such 
as emergency relief, housing, meals, welfare, education, 
recreation and health.

Clean Up Australia Day 
This year, as per many past years, Civmec employees 
took part in a ‘Business Clean Up’ in support of Clean Up 
Australia, cleaning up around the local area and helping to 
make a difference to our beautiful environment. 

Indigenous Partnerships 
Civmec is proud to work in partnership with Aboriginal and 
Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) businesses in our community, 
including the East West Pilbara Group Pty Ltd (EWPG) and 
EWP Yalagan Pty Ltd (EWP Yalagan). “We wholly endorse 
your organisation as one that ‘walks the walk’ when it comes 
to Indigenous engagement. This type of support not only 
helps our organisation prosper but creates benefits to our 
Indigenous employees, their families and wider communities.” 
- Nathan Martin, Director EWP Yalagan.

Other Initiatives 
Our employees and project teams around Australia took part 
in several fundraising events for a range of charities throughout 
the year. We supported education, sporting organisations, 
indigenous initiatives, and charity groups. Some additional 
initiatives we have been involved in this financial year include 
Pink Ribbon Day, Jeans for Genes Day and support of the 
Kwinana Knights Women’s Football team.

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021Report on 
Corporate Governance

30 JUNE 2021

Introduction
The Board of Directors (the ‘Board’) and the senior management of Civmec Limited (‘Civmec’ or the ‘Company’) together 
with its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’), recognise the importance of good corporate governance in ensuring greater transparency 
and protecting the interests of shareholders, as well as strengthening investors’ confidence in its management and financial 
reporting and are, accordingly, committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance throughout the Group. 

This corporate governance report (‘Report’) describes the Company’s corporate governance framework and practices 
that were in place during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (‘FY2021’) with specific reference to the Principles 
and Provisions of the Singapore Code of Corporate Governance 2018 (the ‘Code’) and the 3rd edition of the 
Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (‘ASX Principles and 
Recommendations’), which is also available on the Company’s corporate website. 

In line with the commitment of the Company to maintaining high standards of corporate governance, the Company 
continually reviews its corporate governance processes to strive to comply with the Code. To the extent the Company’s 
practices may vary from the provisions of the Code for FY2021, the Company has explained how its practices are 
consistent with the intent of the relevant principles of the Code. 

The Board is pleased to report compliance of the Company with the Code, the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange 
Securities Limited (the ‘SGX-ST’), and the Listing Rules of the ASX, where applicable, except where otherwise stated.

Board Matters
The Board’s Conduct of Affairs
Principle 1:  The company is headed by an effective Board which is collectively responsible and works with Management for 
the long-term success of the company.

Provision 1.1  Directors are fiduciaries who act objectively in the best interests of the company and hold Management 
accountable for performance. The Board puts in place a code of conduct and ethics, sets appropriate tone-from-the-top 
and desired organisational culture, and ensures proper accountability within the company. Directors facing conflicts of 
interest recuse themselves from discussions and decisions involving  
the issues of conflict.

The Board’s primary role is to protect and enhance shareholders’ value and ensure that the Company is run according to 
the best international management and corporate governance practices, appropriate to the needs and development of 
the Group. The Board works closely with the senior management for the Company’s long-term success and continuously 
maintains the highest standards of behaviour and ethical conduct within the Group.  The Board has adopted a formal code 
of conduct, and it requires all the Directors, senior management and employees to abide by the Company’s Standard Code 
of Conduct, which is available on its corporate website.

Apart from its statutory duties and responsibilities, the Board’s functions include:

•  overseeing the management and affairs of the Group and approving the Group’s corporate strategy and directions;

•  implementing policies in relation to financial matters, which include risk management and internal control and 

compliance;

•  reviewing the financial performance of the Group, approves investment proposals and sets values and standards, 

including ethical standards for the Company and the Group;

•  ensuring that the Group has in place an appropriate risk management framework and setting the risk appetite within 

which the Board expects senior management to operate;

•  approving the appointment, and when necessary replacement, of the senior management personnel; and

•  developing and reviewing corporate governance principles and policies.

The Board’s Conduct of Affairs (continued)
Principle 1 (continued)

Provision 1.1 (continued)

All Directors are aware of their fiduciary duties and exercise due diligence and independent judgement in ensuring that 
their decisions are objective and in the best interests of the Company. Directors who face conflicts of interest disclose their 
interests and voluntarily recuse themselves from discussions and decisions involving the issues of conflict.

Provision 1.2  Directors understand the company’s business as well as their directorship duties (including their roles as 
Executive, Non-Executive and Independent Directors). Directors are provided with opportunities to develop and maintain 
their skills and knowledge at the company’s expense. The induction, training and development provided to new and existing 
Directors are disclosed in the company’s annual report. 

The Company encourages the Directors to learn and develop as Directors. The Directors may attend training, conferences 
and seminars which may have a bearing on their duties and contribution to the Board, organised by professional bodies, 
regulatory institutions and corporations at the Company’s expense, to keep themselves updated on the latest developments 
concerning the Group and to keep abreast of the latest regulatory changes. 

Each quarter, the Board was briefed and/or updated on recent changes to the accounting standards and industry 
developments and business initiatives.

All the Board members are actively engaged and play an important role in ensuring good corporate governance within 
the Company. Visits to the Company’s business premises are arranged to acquaint the Non-Executive Directors with the 
Company’s operations and ensure that all the Directors are familiar with the Company’s business, policies and governance 
practices.

Prior to their respective appointments to the Board, each of the Directors was given an orientation and induction 
programme to familiarise them with the Company’s business activities, strategic directions, policies and key new projects 
and have undertaken all appropriate checks (including the person’s character, experience, education, criminal record 
and bankruptcy history). In addition, newly appointed senior management personnel are subject to the same orientation, 
induction programme and appropriate checks in accordance with our internal onboarding policies and procedures before 
the personnel are introduced to the senior management team. Upon appointment of each Director and senior management 
personnel, the Company provides a services agreement to the Director and senior management personnel setting out their 
duties and obligations.

Provision 1.3  The Board decides on matters that require its approval and clearly communicates this to Management in 
writing. Matters requiring board approval are disclosed in the Company’s annual report.

The Board has delegated the day-to-day management of the Group to the senior management, headed by the Executive 
Chairman, Mr James Finbarr Fitzgerald, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Patrick John Tallon and the Chief Operating Officer, 
Mr Kevin James Deery. Matters that are specifically reserved for the approval of the Board include, among others:

•  reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s internal controls, risk management systems, compliance and 

financial reporting systems; 

•  approving the annual budgets and business plans;

•  approving major investment or expenditure;

•  approving material acquisitions and disposal of assets;

•  approving the Company’s periodic and full-year results announcements for release to the SGX-ST and ASX;

•  approving the annual report and audited financial statements; 

•  monitoring senior management’s performance;

•  recommending share issuance, dividend payments and other returns to shareholders; 

•  ensuring accurate, adequate and timely reporting to, and communication with shareholders; and

Provision 1.4  Board committees, including Executive Committees (if any), are formed with clear written terms of reference 
setting out their compositions, authorities and duties, including reporting back to the Board. The names of the committee 
members, the terms of reference, any delegation of the Board’s authority to make decisions, and a summary of each 
committee’s activities, are disclosed in the company’s annual report.

To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has established several Board Committees namely; Audit 
Committee (‘AC’), Nominating Committee (‘NC’), Remuneration Committee (‘RC’) and Risks and Conflicts Committee 
(‘RCC’). These committees function within clearly defined terms of references and operating procedures, which are reviewed 
on a regular basis. The effectiveness of these committees is also regularly monitored and reviewed by the Board. The roles 
and responsibilities of these committees are described in the following sections of this report.  

Provision 1.5  Directors attend and actively participate in Board and board committee meetings. The number of such 
meetings and each individual Director’s attendances at such meetings are disclosed in the company’s annual report. 
Directors with multiple board representations ensure that sufficient time and attention are given to the affairs of each 
company.

The Board meets on a regular basis and when necessary, to address any specific significant matters that may arise.  
Board meetings are scheduled in advance. The Constitution of the Company provides for Directors to conduct meetings 
by teleconferencing or videoconferencing or other similar means of communication whereby all persons participating in 
the meeting are able to hear each other. The Board and Board Committees may also make decisions by way of circulating 
resolutions.

The Board’s Conduct of Affairs (continued)
Principle 1 (continued)

Provision 1.6  Management provides directors with complete, adequate and timely information prior to  
meetings and on an on-going basis to enable them to make informed decisions and discharge their duties  
and responsibilities.

The Board is informed of all material events and transactions as and when they occur. The senior management consults 
Board members as necessary and appropriate. Detailed Board papers, agenda and related material, background or 
explanatory information relating to matters to be discussed are sent out to the Directors, usually at least a week prior 
to each meeting, so that all Directors may better understand the issues beforehand, allowing more time at meetings for 
discussion and deliberations. 

Directors are provided with a copy of documents containing a wide range of relevant information, including, quarterly and 
annual financial results, progress reports of the Group’s operations, corporate developments, business developments, 
management information, sector performance, budgets, forecast, capital expenditure and personnel statistics, reports from 
both external and internal auditors, significant project updates, business strategies, risk analysis and assessments and 
relevant regulatory updates.

The senior management’s proposals to the Board for approval include background and explanatory information such as, 
resources needed, risk analysis and mitigation strategies, financial impact, regulatory implications, expected outcomes, 
conclusions and recommendations. Employees who can provide additional insight into matters to be discussed will be 
present at the relevant time during the Board and Board Committee meetings. In order to keep Directors abreast of the 
Group’s operations, the Directors are also updated on initiatives and developments on the Group’s business as soon as 
practicable and/or possible and on an ongoing basis. 

The Company Secretaries administer and are available to attend Board meetings and assist the Chairman in implementing 
appropriate Board procedures to facilitate compliance with the Company’s Constitution. The Company Secretaries also 
ensure that the requirements of the Companies Act (Chapter 50), SGX-ST Listing Manual, ASX Listing Rules and other 
governance matters applicable to the Company are complied with. The Company Secretaries work together with the 
Company to ensure that the Company complies with all relevant rules and regulations. 

All Directors are updated regularly on changes to the Company’s policies and are kept updated on relevant new laws and 
regulations including Directors’ duties and responsibilities, corporate governance and financial reporting standards. Newly 
appointed Directors are given briefings by the Management on the business activities of the Group. 

Provision 1.7  Directors have separate and independent access to Management, the Company secretary, and external 
advisers (where necessary) at the company’s expense. The appointment and removal of the company secretary is a 
decision of the Board as a whole.

The Board has separate and independent access to the senior management of the Company and the Company Secretaries 
at all times. Requests for information are dealt with promptly by the senior management. 

The Company Secretaries are appointed by the Board and are accountable to the Board, through the Chairman, on all 
matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. The removal of the Company Secretaries are subject to the approval 
of the Board. 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.

Board Matters (continued)

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 coordinate 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.

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 cooperation 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 FY2021 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.

Board Matters (continued)

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 FY2021 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 FY2021. 

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.

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 2019 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.

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 FY2021, 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. 

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:

Board Matters (continued)
Level and Mix Remuneration (continued)

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 2021. 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:

Business Units;

•  recommend and adopt appropriate measures to control and mitigate the business risks of the Group, as and when 

these may arise; and

•  perform any other functions as may be agreed by the Board.

Provision 9.2  The Board requires and discloses in the company’s annual report that it has received assurance from:

(a)  the CEO and the Chief Financial Officer (‘CFO’) that the financial records have been properly maintained and the financial 

statements give a true and fair view of the company’s operations and finances; and

(b)  the CEO and other key management personnel who are responsible, regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the 

company’s risk management and internal control systems.

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 plans designed by management to address any control 
deficiencies or improvement opportunities. Internal audit reports containing internal audit results, recommendations and agreed 
action plans are presented to the AC on a quarterly basis. 

The 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.

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.

The Company will publish its Sustainability Report later in 2021, which will further consider the management of any material 
economic, environmental and social sustainability risks faced by the Group.

Audit Committee
Principle 10:  The Board has an Audit Committee (‘AC’) which discharges its duties objectively.

Provision 10.1  The duties of the AC include:

(a)  reviewing the significant financial reporting issues and judgements so as to ensure the integrity of the financial 

statements of the company and any announcements relating to the company’s financial performance;

(b)  reviewing at least annually the adequacy and effectiveness of the company’s internal controls and risk management 

systems;

(c)  reviewing the assurance from the CEO and the CFO on the financial records and financial statements;

(d)  making recommendations to the Board on: 

(i) 

the proposals to the shareholders on the appointment and removal of external auditors; and 

(ii)  the remuneration and terms of engagement of the external auditors;

(e)  reviewing the adequacy, effectiveness, independence, scope and results of the external audit and the company’s 

internal audit function; and

(f)  reviewing the policy and arrangements for concerns about possible improprieties in financial reporting or other matters 
to be safely raised, independently investigated and appropriately followed up on. The company publicly discloses, 
and clearly communicates to employees, the existence of a whistle-blowing policy and procedures for raising such 
concerns.

The AC has the power to conduct or authorise investigations into any matters within its scope of responsibility. The AC 
is authorised to obtain independent professional advice whenever deemed necessary to discharge of its responsibilities 
at the Company’s expenses. 

The AC has the cooperation of and complete access to the Company’s management. It has full discretion to invite any 
Director or Executive Officer to attend the meetings, and has been given reasonable resources to enable the discharge

whenever there is a whistle-blowing issue.

The AC, having reviewed the external auditors’ non-audit services, is satisfied there were no non-audit services rendered

Audit Committee (continued)
Principle 10 (continued) 

Provision 10.4  The primary reporting line of the internal audit function is to the AC, which also decides on the appointment, 
termination and remuneration of the head of the internal audit function. The internal audit function has unfettered access to 
all the company’s documents, records, properties and personnel, including the AC, and has appropriate standing within the 
company.

The Board recognises the importance of maintaining an internal audit function, independent of the activities it audits, to 
maintain a sound system of internal control within the Company to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Company’s 
assets. 

The Company’s internal audit function is outsourced to Deloitte, which is one of the Big Four multinational accounting 
organisations and it is independent of the Company’s business activities. The internal audit team that provide expertise 
and industry insights to strengthen the Company’s governance and risk management on an annual basis and comprises a 
Director, a senior manager and supported by other staff, which have more than 30 years of relevant experience combined. 
The internal auditors conduct the audit based on the standards set by internationally recognised professional bodies. The 
annual internal audit plan is submitted to the AC for approval prior to the commencement of the internal audit work. The 
internal auditors review the effectiveness of key internal controls in accordance with the internal audit plan. 

Staffed by suitably qualified and experienced executives, the internal auditors have unrestricted direct access to the AC 
and unfettered access to all the Company’s documents, properties and personnel. The internal auditors have a direct and 
primary reporting line to the AC and assist the AC in overseeing and monitoring the implementation and improvements 
required on internal control weaknesses identified. The AC reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal audit 
function quarterly.

The role of the internal auditors is to support the AC in ensuring that the Group maintains a sound system of internal 
controls by monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of key controls and procedures, conducting in-depth audits of 
high risk areas and undertaking investigations as directed by the AC. 

The AC regularly reviews the performance of the internal auditors and determines their reappointment and level  
of remuneration. 

The AC reviews the adequacy of the function of the internal audit annually and based on this review believes that the internal 
auditors have adequate resources to perform their function effectively and objectively and has unfettered access to the 
Company’s documents, records, properties and personnel.

The AC is satisfied with the effectiveness of the existing internal control systems put in place by the senior management to 
meet the needs of the Group in its current business environment.

The Company’s external auditors also conduct annual reviews of the effectiveness of the Group’s material internal controls 
for financial reporting in accordance with the scope as laid out in their audit plans. 

Provision 10.5: The AC meets with the external auditors, and with the internal auditors, in each case without the presence of 
Management, at least annually.

The AC has met with the Company’s external auditors and internal auditors without the presence of the management and 
has full unfettered access to do so.

Board Matters (continued)

Shareholders Rights and Conduct of General Meetings
Principle 11:  The company treats all shareholders fairly and equitably in order to enable them to exercise shareholders’ 
rights and have the opportunity to communicate their views on matters affecting the company.  
The company gives shareholders a balanced and understandable assessment of its performance, position  
and prospects.

Provision 11.1  The company provides shareholders with the opportunity to participate effectively in and vote at general 
meetings of shareholders and informs them of the rules governing general meetings of shareholders.

Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) and other shareholders’ meetings will always be held at a reasonable place and time. In FY2021, 
AGM will be held electronically due to the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Alternative Arrangements for Meetings for Companies, 
Variable Capital Companies, Business Trusts, Unit Trusts and Debenture Holders) Order 2020. The Company ensures that 
shareholders have the opportunity to participate effectively and vote at shareholders’ meetings. In this regard, shareholders are 
informed of shareholders’ meetings through notices contained in annual reports or a circular sent to all shareholders. These notices 
are also published in the local newspaper and posted on SGXNET and ASX Online.  Shareholders are able to send and receive 
communications electronically with the Company through its respective share registries platform in Singapore and Australian, details 
for doing so are available on the corporate website at www.civmec.com.au.

At AGM and other shareholders’ meetings, the Executive Chairman ensures constructive dialogue between the Board and 
shareholders and upholds high standards of corporate governance.  Shareholders are invited and given the opportunity 
to voice their views, put forth any questions and seek clarification on questions they may have regarding the Company.  
Shareholders are also informed of the rules and voting procedures governing such meetings under the relevant notice of meeting. 

For greater transparency, the Company has adopted the voting of all its resolutions by poll at the general meetings  
and an announcement of the detailed results of the number of votes cast for and against each resolution and the respective 
percentages are announced at the meeting and via announcements on SGXNET and ASX Online made  
on the same day.

Provision 11.2  The company tables separate resolutions at general meetings of shareholders on each substantially 
separate issue unless the issues are interdependent and linked so as to form one significant proposal. Where the resolutions 
are ‘bundled’, the company explains the reasons and material implications in the notice of meeting.

Resolutions are, as far as possible, structured separately and may be voted on independently. 

Provision 11.3  All directors attend general meetings of shareholders, and the external auditors are also present to address 
shareholders’ queries about the conduct of audit and the preparation and content of the auditors’ report. Directors’ 
attendance at such meetings held during the financial year is disclosed in the company’s annual report.

The Directors and the external auditors are available at the AGM to answer shareholders’ queries. In FY2021, all Directors 
and the external auditor attended the AGM.

Provision 11.4  The company’s Constitution (or other constitutive documents) allow for absentia voting at general meetings 
of shareholders.

The Group fully supports the Code’s principle to encourage shareholders’ participation in and vote at all the general 
meetings. The Company’s Constitution allows the appointment of not more than two proxies by shareholders to  
attend the AGM and vote on his/her/their behalf. Shareholders who hold shares through nominees are allowed,  
upon prior request through their nominees, to attend the general meetings as proxies without being constrained  
by the two-proxy requirement. 

The Company, however, has not implemented measures to allow shareholders who are unable to vote in person at 
the Company’s AGM the option to vote in absentia, such as via mail, electronic mail or facsimile transactions as the 
authentication of shareholder indemnity information and other related security issues remain a concern. The Company will 
review its Constitution from time to time. Where amendment to its Constitution is required to align the relevant provisions 
with the requirements of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST and the Listing Rules of the ASX, shareholders’ approval will 
be obtained.

Opinion  

We  have  audited  the  financial  statements  of  Civmec  Limited  (the  “Company”)  and  its  subsidiaries  (the

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit 
of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of 
the financials as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on 
these matters. 

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Accounting for construction contracts 

Our response 

We  refer  to  Note  3(a)(ii),  3(a)(iii)  and  3(b)(i) 
under “Critical Accounting Judgements and Key 
Sources of Estimation Uncertainty”, Note 4 and 
Note 33 to the financial statements. 

During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2021, 
revenue from construction contracts amounted to 
A$620.0 million which represented 92.0% of the 
total revenue of the Group. 

Contract  revenue  comprises  the  initial  amount 
agreed  in  the  contract  and  variations  in  the 
contract  as  constrained  to  the  extent  that  it  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 
removed. 

The  amount  of  revenue  recognised  is  based  on 
the Group’s progress towards completion of the 
construction  contract,  determined  based  on  the 
proportion of construction costs incurred to date 
to  the  estimated  total  contract  costs  (“input 
method”).  The  Group uses the input  method to 
measure project progress and recognises contract 
revenue in accordance with SFRS(I) 15 Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers. 

•  We  performed  procedures  to  understand  the  projects 
through discussions with management and examination 
of  key  project  documents  including  contracts  and 
correspondences with customers on delays and extension 
of  time.  We  evaluated  the  relevant  key  controls  put  in 
place by the management over the construction contract 
revenue and costs recognition on construction contracts. 
In  relation  to  the  contract  revenue  for  projects,  on  a 
sample basis, we have: 
o  Traced  the  contract  sums  to  the  contracts  and 
variation  orders  entered  into  by  the  Group  and  its 
customers. 

• 

o  Challenged  the  appropriateness  of  the  Group’s 
judgement on the variations and claims included in 
the  construction  contract

relevant  customer 
revenue  via 
correspondence,

o  Held  discussions  with  senior  operational  and

advisors 
consultants  where 
appropriate,  to  evaluate  management’s  assessment 
that it 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 removed.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Accounting for construction contracts 
(continued) 

Our response (continued) 

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. 

• 

The determination of estimated contract revenue, 
total contract costs and costs to complete require 
significant judgement which may impact on the 
amounts  of  construction  contract  revenue  and 
profits recognised during the year, including the 
provision  for  onerous  contracts.  We  have 
therefore, identified this as a key audit matter. 

o  Assessed the adequacy of the provision for onerous 
contracts based on our understanding of the projects. 
This  includes  reviewing  management’s  assessment 
of  provision  for  onerous  contracts  by  focusing  on 
projects with low or negative margins. We have also 
held  discussions  with  senior  operational  and 
financial  management,  where  appropriate  on  these 
projects. 

In relation to total contract costs, on a sample basis, we 
have: 
o  Tested  costs  incurred  to  date  and  agreed  these  to 

supporting documentation. 

o  Evaluated  the  appropriateness  of  inputs,  amongst 
others,  materials,  subcontractor  and  labour  costs 
used by management in their estimation of the total 
cost to complete the contract or project, and obtained 
supporting documentation on the major inputs. 
o  We  examined  key  project  documentation  and 
discussed  the  progress  of  the  significant  projects 
with 
the  Group’s  key  project  personnel  and 
management for significant events that could impact 
the  estimated  total  contract  costs  and  stage  of 
completion. 

•  We have recomputed the percentage of completion based 
on actual cumulative contract costs incurred to date to the 
total estimated contract costs for individually significant 
projects. 

•  We checked the arithmetic accuracy of the revenue and 
profit recognised based on the percentage of completion 
computation  for  individually  significant  projects  and 
traced  the  revenue  for  the  current  year  based  on  the 
measurement of progress to the accounting records.

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Recoverability  of  trade  and  other  receivables 
and contract assets 

Our response  

We  refer 
to  Note  3(a)(i)  under  “Critical 
Accounting  Judgements  and  Key  Sources  of 
Estimation Uncertainty”, Note 4(b), Note 11 and 
Note 32(a) to the financial statements. 

•  We obtained an understanding of the Group credit policy 
and  evaluated  the  processes  for  identifying  impairment 
indicators. 

•  We have reviewed and tested the ageing of trade and other 

The  carrying  amount  of 
trade  and  other 
receivables and contract assets of the Group was 
A$87.5 million and A$82.6 million as at 30 June 
2021  respectively.  We  focused  on  this  area 
because  of  its  significance  and  the  degree  of 
judgement required in determining the carrying 
amount of trade and other receivables as at the 
reporting date. 

In  accordance  with  SFRS(I)  9  Financial 
Instruments, the Group assesses periodically and 
at  each  financial  year  end,  the  expected  credit 
loss associated with its receivables. When there 
is  expected  credit  loss  impairment,  the  amount 
and  timing  of  future  cash  flows  are  estimated 
based on historical, current and forward-looking 
loss experience for assets with similar credit risk 
characteristics. 

receivables. 

•  We  have  reviewed  management’s  assessment  on  the 

credit worthiness of selected customers. 

•  We have also assessed current ongoing negotiations and 
settlements  of

consideration is highly probable.

subject 

•  We further discussed with the key management and the 
component auditors on the adequacy of the allowance for 
impairment  recorded  by  the  Group  and  reviewed  the 
supporting  documents  provided  by  management  in 
relation to their assessment. 

•  We have also reviewed the adequacy and appropriateness 
of  the  impairment  charge  based  on  the  available 
information. 

Our audit findings: 
Based  on  our  audit  procedures,  we  found  management’s 
assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables 
and contract assets to be reasonable and the disclosures to be 
appropriate.

Key Audit Matters (continued) 

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Valuation of property, plant and equipment 

Our response  

We refer to Note 3(a)(vi), Note 14 and Note 26 
to the financial statements. 

The  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment of the Group was A$412.0 million as 
at 30 June 2021, of which the fair value of the 
freehold land and buildings had been assessed as 
having a fair value of A$325.2 million.  

The valuation of property, plant and equipment 
is  significant  to  our  audit  due  to  the  use  of 
various  valuation  techniques  which  involve 
significant judgements and critical estimates. 

The  key  assumptions used  in  the  fair  valuation 
are  also  disclosed  in  Note  14  to  the  financial 
statements. 

Management  relied  on  independent  external 
valuations  for  the  fair  valuation  of  its  freehold 
land and buildings. 

•  We

key  assumptions  and  inputs  used  with  the  professional

•  We  assessed  the  reasonableness  of  the  market  value  of 
properties  by  benchmarking  them  against  those  of 
comparable properties when there are comparable market

•  We  evaluated  the  reasonableness  of  the  key  data  and

approach  by  the  valuer  when  there  are  no  comparable

•  We  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the  disclosures 
relating to the valuation techniques and key inputs applied 
by the professional valuer.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

Other Information 

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Annual Report, but 
does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form 
of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or 
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we 
have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required 
to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements 

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in 
accordance with the provisions of the Act and SFRS(I)s, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal 
accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from 
unauthorised  use  or  disposition;  and  transactions  are  properly  authorised  and  that  they  are  recorded  as 
necessary  to  permit  the  preparation  of  true  and  fair  financial  statements  and  to  maintain  accountability  of 
assets. 

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue 
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern 
basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no 
realistic alternative but to do so. 

The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from 
fraud  or  error  and  are  considered  material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 

CIVMEC LIMITED 
(Incorporated in Singapore) 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued) 

As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional 
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is 
sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not  detecting  a  material 
misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one  resulting  from  error,  as  fraud  may  involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that 
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness 
of the Group’s internal control.  

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and related disclosures made by management. 

•  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  management’s  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions 
that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that 
a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw  attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related 
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, 
future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

•  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  statements,  including  the 
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation.  

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 
activities  within  the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  We  are 
responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  group  audit.  We  remain  solely 
responsible for our audit opinion.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during 
our audit. 

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical  requirements 
regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other  matters  that  may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 

CIVMEC LIMITED 
(Incorporated in Singapore) 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued) 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance 
in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe 
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or 
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest 
benefits of such communication.  

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements  

In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those 
subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditor have been properly kept in accordance with 
the provisions of the Act. 

The  engagement  partner  on  the  audit  resulting  in  this  independent  auditor’s  report  is  Christopher  Bruce 
Johnson.

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021Notes to the 
Financial Statements 

30 JUNE 2021

These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.

1.  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 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 of the Company is at 80 Robinson Road #02-00, Singapore 068898 and the principal place of 
business is at 16 Nautical Drive, Henderson, WA 6166 Australia. 

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 2021 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 for the revaluation on freehold land and buildings.

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.

(b)  Basis of Consolidation
(i)  Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity 
when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability 
to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 
control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are 
changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when 
the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The 
Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an 
investee are sufficient to give power, including:

•  the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other 

vote holders;

•  potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;

•  rights arising from other contractual agreements; and

•  any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current 

ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at 
previous shareholders’ meetings.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(b)  Basis of Consolidation (continued)
(i)  Subsidiaries (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.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(b)  Basis of Consolidation (continued)

(ii)  Joint Arrangements

A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the 
contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities 
require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. 

A joint arrangement is classified either as joint operation or joint venture, based on the rights and obligations of the 
parties to the arrangement.

To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the 
arrangement is a joint venture.

The Group reassesses whether the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved has changed when facts and 
circumstances change.

Joint venture

The Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for the investment using the  
equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or 
decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.

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.

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. Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are 
revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected 
in the profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by 
management 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.

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.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(e)  Revenue Recognition (continued)
Construction Contract revenue (continued)

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.

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. 

(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.

(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.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
(i)  Foreign Currency Translation (continued) 

Transactions and balances

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

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

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

Group companies

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

•  Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the 

date of that statement;

• 

Income or expense for each statements presenting profit or loss and other comprehensive income (i.e. 
including comparatives) are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and

•  All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated 

in the currency translation reserve.

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

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

(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.

(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 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.

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.

(j)  Financial Assets (continued)

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.

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.

(l)  Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
(i)  Recognition and measurement (continued) 

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 
recognized 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

Leasehold land

Leased assets

Small tools

Motor vehicles

Office and IT equipment

Depreciation Rate

2% - 33.33%

3.1% - 33.33%

2.9% - 3.6%

5% - 15%

5% - 33.33%

6.67% - 20%

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.

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. 

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
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.

(q)  Leases (continued)
The Group as Lessee (continued)

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.

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.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(r)  Employee Benefits (continued)

Share-based payments

The Group operates an equity-settled share-based compensation plan. The fair value of the employee services 
received in exchange for the grant of options is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in the 
share option reserve over the vesting period. 

The total amount to be recognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the 
options granted on the date of the grant. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the estimation of the 
number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date.

At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares under options that are 
expected to become exercisable on the vesting date and recognises the impact of the revision of the estimates in 
profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to the share option reserve over the remaining vesting period.

The charge or credit to profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at 
the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for options that do not ultimately vest, except for options where vesting is conditional 
upon a market condition, which are treated as vested irrespective of whether or not the market condition is 
satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. The employee share option 
reserve is transferred to retained earnings upon expiry of the share options. When the options are exercised, the 
employee share option reserve is transferred to share capital if new shares are issued, or to treasury shares if the 
options are satisfied by the reissuance of treasury shares.

In situations where equity instruments are issued and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as 
consideration cannot be specifically identified, the unidentified goods or services received (or to be received) are 
measured as the difference between the fair value of the share-based payment and the fair value of any identifiable 
goods or services received at the grant date. This is then capitalised or expensed as appropriate.

(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.

the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity.

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 2021, the Group’s trade and other receivables and contract assets amounted to A$87,488,000 
(2020: A$75,016,000) and A$82,642,000 (2020: A$95,118,000) respectively, net of allowance for impairment, if any, 
arising from the Group’s different revenue segments as disclosed in Note 31 to the financial statements. 

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$200,000 (2020: A$2,678,000) and a A$1,646,000 (2020: Nil) write-off for trade 
and other receivables were recognised as at 30 June 2021. No allowance for impairment for contract assets was 
recognised as at 30 June 2021 (2020: Nil).

3.  Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued) 

(a)  Critical Judgements in applying the Group’s Accounting Policies (continued)
(i) 

Impairment of trade and other receivables and contract assets (continued)

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 except for those customers with impairment loss being recognised.

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.

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.

(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 2021 
and 2020 except for a loss on revaluation of buildings of A$1,611,000 during the previous financial year. The 
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2021 is A$412,030,000 (2020: A$397,804,000).

3.  Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued) 

(a)  Critical Judgements in applying the Group’s Accounting Policies (continued)

(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.

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$16,260,000 
higher/lower.

3.  Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued) 

(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 2021 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$6,200,000 (2020: A$3,901,000).

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$5,991,000 (2020: A$3,472,000).

(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 2021 was A$412,030,000  
(2020: A$397,804,000) (Note 14). A 10% difference in the expected useful lives of these assets from management’s 
estimate would result in an approximately A$1,417,000 (2020: A$1,046,000) 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 2021 were 
income tax payable of A$14,978,000 (2020: A$2,862,000) and A$17,835,000 (2020: A$2,840,000) respectively. The 
carrying amounts of the Group’s and Company’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as at 30 June 2021 
are disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements.

(iv)  Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, 
or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products 
and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Other 
than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the 
financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the 
Group unfavorably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

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.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group has capital tax losses of approximately A$2,094,000 (2020: A$1,611,000) that are 
available for offset against future capital gains of the companies in which the losses arose, for which no deferred 
tax asset is recognised due to uncertainty of its recoverability. The use of these capital tax losses is subject to the 
agreement of tax authorities and compliance with certain provisions of the tax legislation of the respective countries 
in which the companies operate. The deferred tax assets arising from these capital losses amounted to A$628,000 
(2020: A$483,000) and are not recognised as there is no reasonable certainty that future capital gains will be available 
to utilise the capital tax losses. 

The non-deductible expenses of the Group mainly relate to share option expenses which are being treated as non-
deductible for tax purposes.

The tax rate used for the 2021 and 2020 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 primarily located 
in Australia.

The receivables from subsidiaries are non-trade, unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand in cash.

The Group provided working capital funding to an associate, Civtec Africa Ltd. The loan is unsecured, interest bearing 
at 7% to 9% plus 2% and repayable on demand. The Group has fully impaired the amount of A$1,967,000 (2020: 
A$1,767,000) due to cashflow constraints of the borrower caused by the COVID-19 lockdown limiting their ability to 
repay the loan.

The loan receivable from a joint venture was non-trade, unsecured and interest bearing at a market rate of Australian 
Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (‘BBSY’) plus 3%. The loan was repaid in full on 24 July 2020.

Freehold land and buildings carried at fair value
An independent valuation was carried out by Griffin Valuation Advisory on the newly constructed Submarine 
Rescue Facility and the existing freehold land and buildings at 35-39 Old Punt Road, Tomago, New South Wales 
in June 2021. 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 (to market-type properties), Hypothetical 
Development approach, Income Capitalisation approach and Depreciated Replacement Cost (‘DRC’) approach (to 
non-market-type properties). 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.

Level 2 fair value of the Group’s freehold land and building have been derived using the market data approach. 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.

Valuation techniques used to derive Level 3 fair values

The following table shows the information about fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) 
as at 30 June 2021 and 2020:

depreciation rates, the 
lower the fair value.

The higher the 
construction costs, the 
higher the fair value.

The higher the profit 
margin, the higher the  
fair value.

Goodwill arose from the excess of the consideration paid for a business acquired from a third party. Goodwill has 
been allocated to the cash-generating unit, 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 2021. In arriving at this assessment, 
management has determined the recoverable amount using a two (2020: two) years forecasting process based 
on the current order book, projected orders and a consumer price index (‘CPI’) factor of  3.8% (2020: 1.6%) per 
annum on direct costs and overhead costs.

The Group has not recognised its share of loss of A$294,000 for the financial year ended 30 June 2021  
(2020: A$183,000, profit) because the Group’s cumulative share of losses exceeds its interest in that entity  
and the Group has no obligation in respect of those losses. The cumulative unrecognised loss amount to

25. 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. 

No issuance of share-based payment transactions in the current financial year.

(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$0.64 per share. The options are exercisable on or before  
11 September 2023.

Options granted to employees are as follows:

25. Share-Based Payments (continued)

(b)  Employee Share Option Scheme (continued)

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding as at 30 June 2021 is 2 (2020: 3) years. 
The exercise price of outstanding shares was S$0.65 (2020: S$0.65) equivalent to A$0.64 (2020: 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 (2020: S$0.35) equivalent to A$0.35 (2020: A$0.37). 
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:

31. Financial Information by Segments

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

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

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

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021Notes to the

30 JUNE 2021

31. Financial Information by Segments (continued)

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

• 

• 

• 

• 

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

the manufacturing process;

the type or class of customer for the products or services;

the distribution method; and 

•  any external regulatory requirements. 

Although the Operations Management receives separate reports for each project in the Energy, Resources, and 
Infrastructure businesses, these have been aggregated into the respective reportable segments as they have similar 
long-term average gross margins.

The three main reportable segments for the Group are: (1) Energy (2) Resources and (3) Infrastructure and Defence. 
The business activities include civil construction, fabrication, precast concrete, SMP (Structural, Mechanical and Piping 
Erection), insulation, maintenance and plant hire.

Basis of accounting for purpose of reporting by operating segments
(a)  Accounting policies adopted

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

(b) 

Inter-segment transactions

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

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

(c)  Segment assets and liabilities

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

Geographical segments (secondary reporting)
Revenue is based on the location of customers regardless of where the services are rendered. Non-current assets 
are based on the location of those assets:

32. 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 2021, 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 2021, the Group has a concentration of credit risk on 
one debtor (2020: one debtor) that individually represents more than 49.1% (2020: 24.9%) 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

(i)   Performing

(ii)  Under-performing

(iii) Non-performing

Definition

The counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any 
past-due amounts.

Basis for 
recognition and 
measurement of ECL

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)

(iv) Write-off

There is evidence indicating that there is no reasonable expectation 
of recovery as the debtor is in severe financial difficulty.

Asset is written off

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 under SFRS(I) 9 as at 30 June 2021 and 2020 are 
set out in the provision matrix as follows:

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

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that COVID-19 pandemic has had, or may have, on 
the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services 
offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Unless otherwise 
addressed in specific notes, it has had no significant impact on the Group’s overall credit risk.

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.

30 JUNE 2021

32. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)

(b)  Interest Rate Risk (continued)

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 2021, approximately 83% 
(2020: 97%) 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% (2020: 1%) with all other variables remain constant, the 
Group’s profit before tax will be approximately lower/higher by Nil (2020: A$21,000) 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.

(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.

32. 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.

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.

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 2020. 

•  Amendments to SFRS(I) 1-1 and SFRS(I) 1-8 Definition of material;

•  Amendments to SFRS(I) 3 Definition of business;

•  Amendments to SFRS(I) 9, SFRS(I) 1-39 and SFRS(I) 7 Interest rate benchmark reform;

•  Amendments to SFRS(I) 16 Related rent concessions.

The application of the above standards and interpretations did not have a material effect on the consolidated 
financial statements.

CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021CIVMEC LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021Notice of  
Annual General Meeting

Explanatory Notes: -

(i)  Ordinary Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.17 (and for all other 
purposes) to increase the total aggregate amount of fees payable to non-executive Directors to S$257,000. 

Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all 
of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities. 

Directors’ fees include all fees payable by the entity or any of its child entities to a non-executive director for acting as a 
director of the entity or any of its child entities (including attending and participating in any board committee meetings), 
superannuation contributions for the benefit of a non-executive director and any fees which a non-executive director 
agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine 
“special exertion” fees paid in accordance with an entity’s constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive director 
under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities. 

If Ordinary Resolution 3 is passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to the non-executive Directors will 
increase by S$15,000 to S$257,000. The increase to maximum aggregate amount of fees payable may enable the 
Company to:

(a)  fairly remunerate both existing and any new non-executive directors joining the Board;

(b)  remunerate its non-executive Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them both by the Company 

and the regulatory environment in which it operates; and

(c)  have the ability to attract and retain non-executive directors whose skills and qualifications are appropriate for a 

company of the size and nature of the Company.

If Ordinary Resolution 3 is not passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to non-executive Directors will 
remain at S$242,000. This may inhibit the ability of the Company to remunerate, attract and retain appropriately skilled 
non-executive directors. 

In the past three years, the Company has not issued any securities to non-executive Directors pursuant to ASX Listing 
Rules 10.11 and 10.14. 

(ii)  Ordinary Resolution 7 and 14 relate to Mr Chong Teck Sin’s re-election as a Director of the Company and his continued 

designation as an Independent Non-Executive Director.  As of 1 January 2022, Mr Chong would have been a Director 
of the Company for an aggregate period of more than 9 years and will cease to be regarded as independent on such 
date pursuant to Rule 210(5)(d)(iii) of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (which will come into effect on 1 January 2022), 
unless Resolution 7 and Resolution 14 are both passed. 

If Resolution 7 and Resolution 14 are both passed, Mr Chong will continue to be designated as an Independent Non-
Executive Director of the Company for the duration specified in Resolution 14. 

If only Resolution 7 is passed but Resolution 14 is not passed, Mr Chong shall continue to be designated as an 
Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company up to and including 31 December 2021, and shall thereafter be 
re-designated as a non-independent Non-Executive Director as of and from 1 January 2022. 

Mr Chong will, upon re-election as Director of the Company, remain as Chairman of Audit Committee and Risks and 
Conflicts Committee and a member of Nominating and Remuneration Committees.   
Key information on Mr Chong can be found on the section “Board of Directors” of the Annual Report 2021.   

(iii)  Ordinary Resolution 8 and 15 relate to Mr Wong Fook Choy’s re-election as a Director of the Company and his  

continued designation as an Independent Non-Executive Director.  As of 1 January 2022, Mr Wong would have been a 
Director of the Company for an aggregate period of more than 9 years and will cease to be regarded as independent on 
such date pursuant to Rule 210(5)(d)(iii) of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (which will come into effect on 1 January 
2022), unless Resolution 8 and Resolution 15 are both passed. 

If Resolution 8 and Resolution 15 are both passed, Mr Wong will continue to be designated as an Independent Non-
Executive Director of the Company for the duration specified in Resolution 15. 

If only Resolution 8 is passed but Resolution 15 is not passed, Mr Wong shall continue to be designated as an 
Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company up to and including 31 December 2021, and shall thereafter be 
re-designated as a non-independent Non-Executive Director as of and from 1 January 2022.

Explanatory Notes (continued)

  Mr Wong, will, upon re-election as Director of the Company, remain as Chairman of Remuneration Committee and a 

member of Audit, Risks and Conflicts and Nominating Committees. Key information on Mr Wong can be found on the 
section “Board of Directors” of the Annual Report 2021. 

(iv)  Ordinary Resolution 9 and 16 relate to Mr Douglas Owen Chester’s re-election as a Director of the Company and his 

continued designation as an Independent Non-Executive Director.  As of 1 January 2022, Mr Chester would have been 
a Director of the Company for an aggregate period of more than 9 years and will cease to be regarded as independent 
on such date pursuant to Rule 210(5)(d)(iii) of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (which will come into effect on 1 January 
2022), unless Resolution 9 and Resolution 16 are both passed. 

If Resolution 9 and Resolution 16 are both passed, Mr Chester will continue to be designated as an Independent Non-
Executive Director of the Company for the duration specified in Resolution 16. 

If only Resolution 9 is passed but Resolution 16 is not passed, Mr Chester shall continue to be designated as an 
Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company up to and including 31 December 2021, and shall thereafter be 
re-designated as a non-independent Non-Executive Director as of and from 1 January 2022. 

Mr Chester, will, upon re-election as Director of the Company, remain as Chairman of Nominating Committee and a 
member of Audit, Risks and Conflicts and Remuneration Committees. Key information on Mr Douglas Chester can be 
found on the section “Board of Directors” of the Annual Report 2021.

(v)  Each of Resolutions No. 4 to 9 are also included for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 14.5, which provides that an entity 

which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting. 

(vi)  Resolution No. 11, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company from the date of the passing of Resolution 
No. 11 to the date of the next Annual General Meeting or the date by which the next Annual General Meeting of 
the Company is required by law to be held, whichever is the earlier, to issue shares in the capital of the Company 
and to make or grant instruments (such as warrants or debentures) convertible into shares, and to issue shares in 
pursuance of such instruments, up to an amount not exceeding in total 50% of the issued shares (excluding treasury 
shares and shares (if any) held by a subsidiary) in the capital of the Company, with a sub-limit of 20% of the issued 
shares (excluding treasury shares and shares (if any) held by a subsidiary) for issues other than on a pro-rata basis to 
shareholders. 

Any issue of securities pursuant to Resolution No. 11 will be made subject to the Company’s compliance with ASX 
Listing Rule requirements including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 
7.1 at any given time. Resolution No. 11 is not a prior approval for the issue of securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 
7.1.

(vii)  Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Civmec Key Senior 

Executives Performance Rights Plan” (Civmec PRP) and for the issue of Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP in 
accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).   

The objective of the Civmec PRP is to attract, motivate and retain key senior executives and the Company considers 
that the adoption of the Performance Rights Plan and the future issue of Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP will 
provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company. 

As summarised in Explanatory Note (vi) above, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed 
company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary 
shares it had on issue at the start of that period. 

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an 
employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s 
ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1. 

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does 
not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the 
meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) 
also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of 
meeting.

Annual General Meeting

Explanatory Notes (continued)

If Resolution 12 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP to eligible 
participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Performance Rights to eligible participants under the Civmec PRP 
(up to the maximum number of Performance Rights stated in sub-section (b) below) will be excluded from the calculation 
of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.  

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of 
any future issues of Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP to a related party or a person whose relationship with 
the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained. To this end, the Company 
is seeking approval for the issue of Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP to Mr Kevin James Deery pursuant to 
Resolutions 13. 

If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights under the 
Civmec PRP to eligible participants, but any issues of Performance Rights will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s 
capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period 
following the issue of the Performance Rights. 

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation 
to Resolution 12:

(a)  a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Civmec PRP is set out in the Schedule;

(b)  the Company has issued 15,937,993 Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP since the Civmec PRP was last 

approved by Shareholders on 25 October 2018; and

(c)  the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Civmec PRP, following Shareholder approval, is 
50,000,000 Performance Rights which includes the Performance Rights proposed to be issued under Resolutions 
13. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

(viii) Resolution No. 13 seeks shareholders’ approval for the grant of Performance Rights covering 334,000 Shares to Mr 

Kevin James Deery upon such terms to be determined by the Remuneration Committee in accordance with the rules of 
the Civmec PRP, and the allotment and issuance from time to time such number of fully-paid Shares as may be required 
to be delivered pursuant to the vesting of such Performance Rights under the Civmec PRP. Mr Kevin James Deery is 
Chief Operating Officer of the Company. 

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities 
under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities: 

10.14.1   a director of the entity; or 

10.14.2   an associate of a director of the entity; or 

10.14.3   a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 0.14.2 is   
               such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders. 

The issue of Performance Rights to Mr Kevin James Deery falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires 
the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. 

If Resolution No. 13 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr 
Kevin James Deery under the Civmec PRP within 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted 
by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for 
the issue of the Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the 
Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 
7.1. 

If Resolution No. 13 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to 
Mr Kevin James Deery under the Civmec PRP. 

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in 
relation to the proposed grant of the Performance Rights.

(a)  The Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Kevin James Deery, who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 

10.14.1, by virtue of being a Director.

(b)  The maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Kevin James Deery is 334,000. 

(c)  The current total remuneration package for Mr Kevin James Deery is $593,568, comprising of salary and allowances 
of $570,000, a superannuation payment of $23,568 and share-based payments of $NIL. If the Performance Rights 
are issued, the total remuneration package of Mr Kevin James Deery will increase by $167,000 to $760,568, being 
the value of the Performance Rights (based on the Black-Scholes methodology).

(d)  The Civmec PRP was adopted by shareholders on 25 October 2018. 1,940,000 Performance Rights have previously 
been issued to Mr Kevin James Deery for nil cash consideration under the Civmec PRP.  Of those rights previously 
issued, 522,000 have been cancelled, 228,000 have vested and been converted to shares and 1,190,000 remain.

(e)  The Performance Rights are unquoted performance rights. The Company has chosen to grant the Performance 

Rights to Mr Kevin James Deery for the following reasons:

a.  the Performance Rights are unlisted, therefore the grant of the Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary 

impact on shareholders;

b.  the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Kevin James Deery will align the interests of Mr Kevin James Deery with 

those of shareholders;

c.  the issue of the Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective 

remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash 
reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Kevin James 
Deery; and

d.  it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the 

Company in granting the Performance Rights on the terms proposed.

(f)  The Company values the Performance Rights at A$167,000 (being A$0.50 per Performance Right) based on the 

Black-Scholes methodology using the following assumptions:

Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was 
obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

(n)  The terms of the Performance Rights are in accordance with the Civmec PRP subject to the key terms and 

conditions of the Performance Rights set out below. 

The Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Kevin James Deery will vest based on the performance of Mr Kevin 
James Deery over a three (3) year performance period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024. 
The aggregate number of Performance Rights which shall vest in favour of Mr Kevin James Deery, 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. The vesting schedule is as follows: 

Long Term Incentive Proportion Vesting – Number of Performance 
Rights to be vested, calculated as a percentage of the number of 
Performance Rights for each performance period   

Absolute Earnings per Share 

50% 

On a pro rata basis between 50% and 100% 

100% 

In addition:

Target – If the aEPS achieved is equal to 90% of 
the three-year average annual result 

Between Target and Stretch – If the aEPS achieved 
is more than 90% but not more than 110% of the 
three-year average annual result

Stretch – If the aEPS achieved is more than 110% 
of three-year average annual result

•  Upon satisfaction of the relevant vesting condition attached to a Performance Right, the Performance Right shall vest 

and will convert into 1 fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company.

•  A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in 

new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

•  The Performance Rights are not transferable.

• 

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner 
consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules at the time of reorganisation.

•  The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or 

receive dividends.

• 

If the vesting condition attached to the relevant Performance Right has not been satisfied within the relevant time 
period set out above, the relevant Performance Rights will automatically lapse.

SCHEDULE – SUMMARY OF CIVMEC PRP (continued)
(f)  Events Prior to Vesting (continued) 

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.

(g)  Size and Duration

The total number of Award Shares which may be delivered pursuant to Performance Rights granted under the Civmec 
PRP on any date, when added to: 

(i) 

(ii) 

the total number of new Shares allotted and issued and/or to be allotted and issued and issued Shares delivered 
and/or to be delivered, pursuant to Performance Rights granted under the Civmec PRP; and 

the number of new Shares allotted and issued and/or to be allotted and issued and issued Shares delivered and/or 
to be delivered, in respect of any other options or grants under share option schemes or share schemes adopted 
by the Company for the time being in force, as the case may be, 

shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) (or 
such other limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST) of the Company on the date preceding the date of grant of the 
relevant Performance Right.

The maximum limit of 15% will provide for sufficient Shares to support the use of Performance Rights in the Company’s 
overall long-term incentive and compensation strategy. In addition, it will provide the Company with the means and 
flexibility to grant Performance Rights as incentive tools in a meaningful and effective manner to encourage staff 
retention and to align Participants’ interests more closely with those of Shareholders.

Furthermore, the aggregate number of Award Shares available to Controlling Shareholders and their Associates shall 
not exceed 25% of all Award Shares available under the Civmec PRP, and the number of Award Shares available to 
each Controlling Shareholder or his Associate shall not exceed 10% of all Awards Shares available under the Civmec 
PRP.

The Civmec PRP shall continue in force at the absolute discretion of the Committee, subject to a maximum of 10 
years commencing from the date it is adopted by the Company in general meeting, provided always that the Civmec 
PRP may continue beyond this stipulated period with the approval of Shareholders in general meeting and relevant 
authorities which may then be required.

Notwithstanding the expiry or termination of the Civmec PRP, any Performance Rights granted to Participants prior to 
such expiry or termination, whether such Performance Rights have been vested (whether fully or partially) or not, will 
continue to remain valid.

(h)  Operation

Subject to the prevailing legislation and the Listing Manual, the Company will have the flexibility to deliver Award Shares 
to Participants by way of:

(a)  an issue of new Shares; and/or

(b) 

the delivery of existing Shares (including treasury shares).

New Shares allotted and issued, and existing Shares procured by the Company for transfer, pursuant to the vesting 
of a Performance Right, shall rank in full for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or 
recommended in respect of the then existing Shares, the record date for which is on or after the relevant vesting date, 
and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing Shares then in issue.
