Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Likely Developments and Outlook In FY18 the business consolidated its focus on the Infrastructure, Resources and Renewable Energy sectors across Australia and New Zealand and is experiencing strong market conditions across these sectors. Based on the Company’s current tender pipeline and work in hand, and as at the date of this report, Decmil expects FY19 revenue to exceed $500 million. Work in hand (comprised of contracted and preferred contracts) for FY19 stands at ~$400 million comprised primarily of forward revenue from Decmil’s NZ Corrections and Schools, BHP South Flank, QGC and various VicRoads transport infrastructure projects. Going into FY19 the Group continues to see good market conditions across a number of its key sectors including: ▪ Natural Resources: Sustaining capital works and replacement tonnage projects in the WA Iron Ore market; ▪ Infrastructure: Significant opportunity in the Transport sector in Victoria where the Group is actively pursuing new road and bridge projects as both head contractor and in joint ventures; and ▪ Renewable Energy: Actively bidding a number of solar PV and wind projects as a balance of plant contractor. The recent budgets announced by State and Federal Government have presented a number of opportunities for Decmil including the following transport infrastructure projects that the Company has bid or is targeting in FY19: ▪ Mordialloc Freeway (VicRoads): the Mordialloc Freeway is a proposed new 9km freeway linking the end of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Springvale Road to the Dingley Bypass. Following an Expression of Interest process Decmil, with its JV partner McConnell Dowell, has been shortlisted to one of two bidders for the tender stage to design and construct the Mordialloc Bypass; ▪ M80 Ring Road Upgrade (VicRoads): the M80 Ring Road Upgrade relates to the design and construction of the remaining northern sections of the M80 Ring Road. Decmil, with its JV partner BMD, is one of two bidders that has submitted an Expression of Interest; ▪ Oxley Highway, Gunnedah (NSW RMS): Decmil is a shortlisted contractor for the Oxley Highway project in Gunnedah. The project relates to the design and construction of a bridge over an existing rail line; and ▪ Drysdale Bypass (VicRoads): Decmil is a shortlisted contractor for the design and construction of the Drysdale Bypass from Grubb Road to Whitcombes Road in Victoria. Decmil’s strategy remains based on an overall ambition to build a diverse and strong construction and engineering business. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Material Business Risks The key challenges for the Group going into the 2019 financial year are: ▪ To recruit quality staff that can sustain projected growth; ▪ Retain robust project controls to ensure project returns are predictable; ▪ To select projects that can deliver acceptable returns; and ▪ Control overheads across the Group. Material risks that could adversely affect the Group include the following: ▪ The Company is exposed to a number of macro-economic cycles, in particular capital expenditure by State and Federal Government and in natural resources. These cycles are in turn impacted by a variety of factors inclusive of fiscal conditions in the economy, Government policy on capital expenditure and commodity prices. Any weakness in the broader construction and engineering sector and a reduction in growth capital expenditure across major new natural resource projects will impact the Company. ▪ A portion of the Group's contracts are 'lump sum' in nature and to the extent costs exceed the contracted price, there is a risk these amounts may not be recovered. From time to time variations to the planned scope occurs or issues arise during the construction phase of a project, not anticipated at the time of bid. This may give rise to claims under the contract with the principal in the ordinary course of business. Where such claims are not resolved in the ordinary course of business they may enter formal dispute and the outcome upon resolution of these claims may be materially different to the position taken by Company. ▪ In order for the Group to continue working on engineering construction projects, a robust safety methodology needs to be in place. A serious safety incident or fatality has the ability to create a substantial risk to Decmil's social licence to operate. Decmil mitigates this safety risk via its 'SHIELD' safety methodology, ensuring that all employees (including senior management) and sub-contractors are aligned and engaged with the approach to safety. ▪ The Company is dependent on various technical and financial accreditations to operate the business. These include safety accreditations, quality assurance standards, building licences, technical accreditations by State Main Roads agencies and various financial accreditations. Many of these accreditations are assessed and monitored by State and Federal Government Agencies. Any failure to maintain or comply with an accreditation can impact the eligibility of the Company to participate in certain projects and sectors. ▪ The Company operates as a ‘Design and Construct’ or ‘Engineer, Procure and Construct’ contractor in the engineering sector. Such projects and contracts place an obligation on the Company to design ‘Fit for Purpose’ infrastructure and to give warranties to such effect. Any failure in design may see the Company exposed to contractual claims for breach of ‘Fit for Purpose’ or design obligations and, from time to time, to performance and liquidated damages. The Company manages this risk by maintaining Professional Indemnity insurance and also engaging appropriate third party design consultants for complex or specialist design expertise. ▪ Any abatement in economic activity in the Gladstone region will result in a short term diminution in the occupancy levels at the Homeground Village and significantly lower levels or revenue and profit than historically generated. Management expects that in the medium term new opportunities will arise for Homeground Gladstone as the LNG sector in Gladstone moves from the construction to the operational and maintenance stages; however the risk of volatility in the short term remains present. ▪ Decmil's ability to remain productive, profitable and competitive and to effect its planned growth initiatives, depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled labour. Tightening of the labour market in key regions due to a shortage of skilled labour, combined with a high industry turnover rate and growing number of competing employers for skilled labour, may inhibit Decmil's ability to hire and retain employees. Decmil is exposed to increased labour costs in markets where the demand for labour is strong. A shortage of skilled labour could limit Decmil's ability to grow its business or lead to a decline in productivity and an increase in training costs and adversely affect its safety record. Each of these factors could materially adversely impact its revenue and, if costs increase or productivity declines, its operating margins. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Material Business Risks (Cont’d) During the 2015 financial year the Company implemented an enterprise risk review process to identify the most material risks facing the Company enterprise wide, together with an action plan to mitigate the occurrence or effect of each identified risk (Enterprise Risk Register). Each of the risks on the Enterprise Risk Register have been allocated to an owner who is responsible for monitoring, reporting and implementing action plans for each of the risks. The Enterprise Risk Register brings together the most critical risks (both corporate and operational) identified by the Group Risk Management System and creates a structured process for regular reporting to the Board. The Enterprise Risk Register is reviewed and presented to the Audit and Risk Committee on a quarterly basis. Capital Management Management is continually assessing the optimal capital structure to ensure the Group is working towards providing shareholders with adequate returns based on assessment of market risks and opportunities. This includes the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and the requirement for further equity funding. Whilst the Group has access to substantial senior debt and bonding facilities, it ended the year with no senior debt and low levels of gearing. Management also periodically reviews the level of capital invested in the Homeground Gladstone Village and where appropriate opportunity exists, will consider options to monetise the asset. Environmental Regulation The Company is subject to environmental regulation in accordance with applicable state, territory or federal legislation and statutory requirements for the jurisdictions in which it operates. There were no incident events that required reporting to relevant statutory bodies during the financial year. The Company aims to continually improve its environmental performance and has established carbon emission reduction targets for the next financial year.

The following persons acted as Directors or Executives during or since the end of the financial year: Role Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) Mr David Saxelby – Chairman of the Board Mr Bill Healy – Chairman of the Audit & Risk and Remuneration Committees Mr Don Argent Mr Denis Criddle Mr Dickie Dique Mr Lee Verios Executive Directors Appointed May 2016 and as Chairman 1 March 2018 Appointed to the Board April 2009 Appointed 1 March 2018 Appointed August 2007 Appointed 1 July 2018 Resigned 1 November 2017 Mr Scott Criddle – Managing Director and Group CEO Appointed as CEO in July 2009 and Managing Director in April 2010 Executives (Other KMP) Mr Ric Buratto1 – CEO Construction and Engineering Mr Tony Radalj2 – Chief Operating Officer Resigned 14 July 2017 Appointed to ELT on 1 August 2017 Mr Craig Amos – Chief Financial Officer Appointed March 2014 1 Ric Buratto left the Executive Leadership Team during the 2017 financial year 2 Tony Radalj joined the Executive Leadership Team during the 2018 financial year Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) 1. Remuneration governance 1.1 Remuneration committee The Remuneration Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors compensation arrangements for the directors and Executive Leadership Team (ELT). The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and the ELT on a periodic basis. The assessment is made with reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 1.2 Use of remuneration consultants To ensure the Company and Remuneration Committee is fully informed when making remuneration decisions, it from time to time seeks external remuneration advice and uses industry salary survey data. During the financial year, the fixed remuneration of executives was benchmarked against peers based on industry salary surveys sourced from AON Hewitt and Mercer. In the past, Ernst & Young has also been engaged to provide advice on the structure of the long term incentive plans and provide a comparison of the Company’s plan to market trends. For the purposes of the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2001 (the Act), any guidance provided by remuneration consultants throughout the financial year was not considered a remuneration recommendation in relation to KMP as defined by Division 1 of Part 1.2 of Chapter 1 of the Act. 2. 2.1 Executive remuneration approach and structure Remuneration philosophy The performance of the Company ultimately depends upon the quality of its directors and ELT. In order to maintain performance and create shareholder value, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled and experienced directors and executives. Decmil aims to provide competitive at market remuneration and rewards in order to: ▪ attract the right people who are aligned to Decmil’s values and behaviours; ▪ motivate employees so they understand their contribution to Decmil; ▪ ▪ recognise employees’ effort and commitment to Decmil; and retain the highest quality employees within Decmil. Decmil ensures: ▪ appropriate compensation is given to executives for the services they provide; ▪ attraction and retention of executives with the required skills to effectively manage the operations and growth of the business; ▪ executives are motivated to perform in the best interest of Decmil; and ▪ gender pay equality. 2.2 Executive remuneration structure The remuneration structure for executive officers, including executive directors, is based on a number of factors, including experience, qualifications, job level and overall performance of the Company. The service agreements between the Company and specified directors and executives are on a continuing basis which are not expected to change in the immediate future. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) The following table illustrates the executive remuneration elements, including how each element aligns to the Company’s remuneration strategy and links remuneration outcomes to performance. Vehicle Purpose Link to performance Remuneration component Fixed remuneration STI Comprises base salary, superannuation contributions and other benefits such as motor vehicles and life insurance. Historically, the STI component of the Chief Executive Officer’s remuneration has been paid in cash. For FY16, FY17 and FY18 100% of any STI award earned will be deferred for 12 months and will be satisfied by the issue of Restricted Rights instead of a cash award. The STI of other executives are paid in cash. To provide competitive fixed remuneration for senior executives as determined by the scope of their position and the knowledge, skill and experience required to perform the role. Rewards executives for short term achievement of: ▪ financial and operational key performance indicators; ▪ ▪ progress with the delivery of the Company’s business plan and strategic objectives; and specific goals in relation to the development of people within the Company and its profile within the business community. Company and individual performance are considered during the annual remuneration review. Examples of key performance indicators include: ▪ Achievement of financial targets such as Group revenue and NPAT; ▪ Achievement of target work in hand levels at 30 June of each year to ensure the sustainability of revenue in subsequent years; ▪ Overhead and cost control targets; ▪ Targets set in relation to the achievement of the Group’s business plan such as the diversification of the business and entry into new markets; and ▪ Targets set for safety performance based on Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rates. Vesting of awards is dependent on absolute TSR, achieving EPS growth targets and continuous employment. LTI Executives are entitled to participate in the performance rights scheme approved by shareholders. Performance rights do not attract dividends or voting rights. To better align executives to the interests of shareholders and provide a reward based on long term growth in share price and earnings. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) 2.3 Remuneration practices The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration appropriate to their position, responsibilities and performance within the business and aligned with market practice. The Company’s policy is to position fixed remuneration around the 50th percentile of salary bands based on major industry surveys produced by AON Hewitt and Mercer. This aligns with the market median ensuring Decmil remains competitive with its peers. The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed with each executive and is based predominantly on the Company’s performance and shareholder value. Incentives are linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses, rights and shares. The policy is designed to attract high calibre executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. Where applicable, executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the Government, which during the year was 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice all or part of their remuneration to increase payments towards superannuation. Upon retirement, specified directors and executives are paid employee entitlements and incentives accrued to the date of their retirement. All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at cost to the Company and expensed. Where performance rights and shares are given to directors and executives, they are valued according to the accounting standards. 2.4 Short term incentive plan General Terms of the STI Plan How is it paid Generally, in cash. The CEO STI award can be satisfied by the issue of restricted rights. How much can executives earn? Executives can earn up to 50% of their total fixed remuneration as an STI How is performance measured? When is it paid? What are the deferral terms? What happens if an executive leaves or there is a change of control? How much STI has been accrued in relation to the 2018 financial year? incentive. Through a balance scorecard of financial, operational and organisation development KPI’s set prior to the commencement of each financial year. Financial measures are assessed based on the Group’s audited financial results. In September or October of the financial year after the target year. Historically, the STI component of the Chief Executive Officer’s remuneration has been paid in cash. It was proposed that for, FY16, FY17 and FY18 100% of any STI award earned will be deferred for 12 months and will be satisfied by the issue of restricted rights instead of a cash award. The payment of any accrued or part STI benefit in these circumstances is at the discretion of the Board. No STI has been accrued in relation to the 2016, 2017 or 2018 financial years. The STI award opportunity is based on a percentage of an individual’s base salary. For the CEO, a maximum award opportunity of 50% of total fixed remuneration is available. The STI is based on the previous financial year’s base salary earnings to 30 June before performance based remuneration reviews. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) With the dramatic turnabout in the resources and energy sectors during the 2016 financial year the Group undertook a number of steps to restructure and reduce the overhead base in its traditional business units. As part of these efforts, executives of the Group agreed to a 10% reduction in total fixed remuneration effective February 2016 (with the CEO voluntarily agreeing to a 15% reduction). As market conditions continued to be subdued throughout FY17, the CEO took a further voluntary reduction of 30% and the Board took a further 10% reduction in April 2017. In addition, no STI has been accrued for either the CEO or any other KMP in relation to the 2016, 2017 or 2018 financial years. 2.5 Long term incentive plan The LTI offered to key executives forms a key part of their remuneration and assists to align their interests with the long term interests of shareholders. The purpose of the LTI Scheme is to reward key executives for attaining results over a long measurable period and for staying with the organisation. The LTI Scheme is a share based plan consisting of performance rights and shares which have pre-determined vesting conditions. The LTI Scheme is designed to: ▪ create a strong link between the eligible participants’ performance and Decmil’s performance; ▪ assist in retention of employees; and ▪ contribute to eligible participants feeling they own part of Decmil and have an influence in the direction of Decmil. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) General Terms of the LTI Plan How is it paid? How much can be earned (i.e. maximum opportunity)? How is performance measured? When is performance measured? What happens if an executive leaves or there is a change of control? Are executives eligible for dividends? Have many shares vested under the LTI plan? The Company uses performance rights and restricted shares in its long term incentive plan. For executives, up to 150% of total fixed remuneration converted into performance rights at the 60 day VWAP to 30 June. Vesting hurdles for performance rights for executives are based on absolute TSR (40%), EPS (40%) and continuous employment (20%). The achievement of vesting conditions for performance rights are assessed between July and September after the target financial year-end. Measurement periods are from the date of award of the rights to the first tranche being eligible for vesting. If an employee resigns, or his or her employment is terminated due to misconduct or performance related reasons, all performance rights and restricted shares are immediately forfeited. If an employee retires or an employee’s employment terminates for redundancy prior to performance rights or restricted shares vesting, the Board may use its discretion to vest the performance rights or restricted shares. Where a change of control event occurs in respect to the Company, the Board, in its absolute discretion, may determine the treatment of any unvested performance rights or restricted shares and the timing of such treatment. Only where the Board does not exercise its discretion to determine a particular treatment, will all unvested performance rights and restricted shares vest on change of control. Performance rights do not accrue dividends. The retention grant of restricted shares to the CEO accrues dividends which become payable upon vesting. There has historically been a very low percentage of performance rights awarded that vest e.g. no performance rights have vested since the 2013 financial year other than in relation to time based conditions. For executives, performance rights will vest (that is, shares will be issued or become transferable to the executives upon satisfaction of the performance rights vesting conditions) to the extent that the applicable performance hurdles set by the Board are satisfied. Subject to achievement of the hurdle, the performance rights may be converted (on a one-for-one basis) to fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Any performance rights which do not vest at any due vesting date rollover for re-assessment to the next vesting date. The vesting conditions will be subsequently reassessed in that year and performance rights may vest as applicable. Unvested performance rights will rollover for the length of the performance period and will be forfeited at the end of the grant period if not vested. If an executive resigns from his or her employment, any unvested performance rights will lapse, unless the Board determines otherwise. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) Performance Hurdles Each year the Board reviews and considers the appropriateness of the performance hurdles and, where necessary, makes adjustments and amendments to reflect market conditions. Below is a summary of the performance hurdles that relate to unvested performance rights as at 30 June 2018: Issued financial year ended 30 June 2013 and prior Performance rights issued during the financial year ended 30 June 2013 and prior years are eligible for vesting three, five and seven years after the initial grant date depending upon Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance relative to a comparator group identified at the time of grant (S&P/ASX 300 Index). Performance rights granted during this period remain under these terms and conditions. The performance rights vest according to the schedule below: Company TSR Rank in S&P/ASX 300 Index Below the 50th Percentile At or below the 50th Percentile and below the 75th Percentile At or above the 75th Percentile % of Performance Rights that Vest 0% 50%, plus 2% for every one Percentile increase above 50th Percentile 100% Issued financial year ended 30 June 2014 These performance rights vest two, three and four years after the initial grant date and are subject to the following vesting performance measures: a. Two thirds of the performance rights are subject to earnings per share compound annual growth rate (EPS CAGR) performance and; b. One third of the performance rights are subject to TSR performance relative to the other companies in the ASX 200. The performance rights in respect of a financial year will vest in tranches as follows: Years after the financial year in respect of which the grant of Performance Rights is made 2 3 4 % of Performance Rights Eligible for Vesting 25% 25% 50% For performance rights subject to EPS CAGR performance, vesting will occur as follows: EPS CAGR – Measured from the year in respect of which grant of Performance Rights is made <6% 6% >6% <24% 24% or more % Performance Rights that Vest 0% 25% Pro-rata vesting between 25%-100% 100% Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) For performance rights subject to TSR performance, vesting will occur as follows: TSR – Measured from the year in respect of which grant of Performance Rights is made <50th Percentile 50th Percentile >50th Percentile <75th Percentile >75th Percentile or more % Performance Rights that Vest 0% 50% Pro-rata vesting between 50%-100% 100% Issues financial year ended 30 June 2015 and later These performance rights are subject to the following vesting conditions: a. 20% of performance rights are subject to continuous service of employment. This portion will vest at 100% three years after the financial year of which the grant of the performance rights are made; b. 40% of performance rights are subject to EPS CAGR performance; and c. 40% of performance rights are subject to absolute TSR performance. In relation to the performance rights subject to the EPS CAGR and TSR, the following vesting tranches will apply: Years after the financial year in respect of which the grant of Performance Rights is made 2 3 4 % of Performance Rights Eligible for Vesting 25% 25% 50% For performance rights subject to EPS CAGR performance, vesting will occur as follows: EPS CAGR – Measured from the year in respect of which grant of Performance Rights is made <6% 6% >6% <8% >8% % Performance Rights that Vest 0% 25% Pro-rata vesting between 25%-100% 100% For performance rights subject to TSR performance, vesting will occur as follows: Absolute TSR – Measured from the year in respect of which grant of Performance Rights is made < 7% 7% >7% <11% >11% % Performance Rights that Vest 0% 50% Pro-rata vesting between 50%-100% 100% Note, the Company obtained shareholder approval at the 2015 AGM to implement a number of changes to the hurdles attaching to the performance rights to be issued for FY15, FY16, FY17 and FY18. These changes included the replacement of the Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdle with an Absolute TSR performance hurdle, and adjustment of the Earnings Per Share (EPS) hurdles in line with current market expectations and inclusion of a performance hurdle relating to continuous employment with the Group. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) 3. Link between Company performance and executive remuneration The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives. There have been two methods applied in achieving this aim, the first being a performance based short term incentive based on key performance indicators, and the second being the issue of performance rights to executive directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. 4. Employment contracts of directors and senior executives The Company has entered into a service agreement with Mr Scott Criddle who commenced in the role of CEO on 1 July 2009. The key terms of Mr Scott Criddle’s service agreement are: Notice Period Term Restraint Period Total Fixed Remuneration Long Term Incentive Scheme Short Term Incentive Scheme Termination Benefits Three month written notice unless in relation to certain circumstances such as serious misconduct or gross neglect of duty Ongoing until terminated Three months after termination of employment Reviewed and established annually by the Remuneration Committee The Decmil Group Limited LTI scheme applies The Decmil Group Limited STI scheme applies No contractual termination benefits apply The Company may terminate the contract without cause by providing written notice of the required termination period or by making payment in lieu of notice based on the individual’s annual salary component together with a discretionary payment. Termination payments are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious misconduct, the Company can terminate employment at any time. Other executives in the Company have similar executive service agreements which include terms and conditions relating to confidentiality, restraint on employment and intellectual property. The executive service agreements are typically not fixed term agreements and continue on an ongoing basis until terminated. These agreements may be terminated by notice of either party or earlier in the event of certain breaches. In the event of termination for any reason, the Company will pay accrued and untaken annual leave, and subject to legislation, any accrued and untaken long service leave owing to the executive. Termination payments are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious misconduct, the Company can terminate employment at any time. Non-Executive Directors are appointed under appointment letters that deal with, amongst other matters, the following: ▪ terms of appointment and tenure; ▪ entitlements; ▪ duties and responsibilities; and ▪ indemnities, insurances and access. Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) 5. Non-Executive Director fee arrangements The Board’s policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board approves payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders during a general meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity however to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. Non-Executive Director (NED) fees consist of base fees and committee chair fees. The payment of committee chair fees recognises the additional time commitment required by NEDs who chair Board committees. The chair of the Board attends all committee meetings but does not receive any additional committee fees in addition to base fees. The table below summaries Board and committee chair fees payable to NEDs at 30 June 2018 (inclusive of superannuation): Board fees Chairman Non-Executive Director Committee fees Audit & Risk and Remuneration Chair Member $000 130 73 $000 8 - Maximum aggregate NED fee pool The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to NEDs is subject to approval by shareholders during a general meeting. The maximum aggregate amount that may be paid to NEDs for their services is $650,000 during any financial year, as approved by shareholders at the 2012 AGM. The Board will not seek an increase to the aggregate NED fee pool limit at the 2018 AGM. 6.

Shares Issued on the Exercise of Options There were no ordinary shares of the Company issued on the exercise of options during the year ended 30 June 2018 and up to the date of this report. Employee Share Program At the 2014 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the adoption by the Company of a broad based employee share plan and the issue of securities pursuant to that plan. During the financial year, 213,490 shares were issued under this plan as part of the Decmil Employee Share Purchase Plan. Under this plan, employees who purchased up to $1,000 of shares had those shares matched by the Company. The matched shares are subject to a trade restriction until the earlier of 3 years or cessation of employment with the Company. Indemnifying Officers or Auditor The Company has indemnified the Directors of the Company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a director, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith. During the financial year, the company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the Directors of the Company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. The Company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. Proceedings on Behalf of Company In or around August 2012, Steel Building Systems (SBS) was engaged as a subcontractor by Decmil Australia Pty Ltd (“Decmil”) to construct the Gladstone Village in Queensland. SBS’ scope of work was the design, manufacture and supply of modular buildings, as well as miscellaneous on-site works associated with the modular buildings. On 17 November 2017, the liquidators of SBS commenced proceedings against Decmil Australia Pty Ltd in the NSW Supreme Court for alleged unpaid contract sums of $3.3 million and alleged lost profit on works removed from SBS’ scope of works. Decmil rejects the claims brought by the liquidators of SBS and denies it is indebted to SBS as claimed. 1 Transactions relating to directors’ fees are included in the Directors’ Report details of remuneration Directors’ Report Cont’d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Proceedings on Behalf of Company (Cont’d) Decmil’s current position is that SBS is in fact indebted to Decmil for a similar sum due to defective works and associated rectification costs, incomplete works, overheads incurred by Decmil in connection with the defects and rectification works, expert costs and fees. Decmil has filed a defence in relation to the liquidator’s claims and will file a cross claim for the sum Decmil alleges it is owed by SBS. On 1 May 2017 the Company received an advice from AusIndustry, the agency that oversees technical elements of the Australian Tax Office’s Research and Development Inventive Scheme (“R&D Scheme”), disputing the eligibility of certain engineering activities submitted by the Company in relation to the 2014 financial year for the R&D Scheme. R&D Scheme benefits received by the Company in relation to the 2014 financial year for the disputed engineering activities amounts to approximately $3.4 million. The Company does not agree with the advice received from AusIndustry and under the relevant legislation has requested an independent review of the matter. As at the date of this report, the independent review had not been completed. The Company is also considering further review options available to it, including submission to the Australian Administrative Tribunal. During the year ended 30 June 2017 the liquidators for Forge Group Ltd (in liquidation)(receivers and managers appointed) commenced an action in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Eastcoast Development Engineering Pty Ltd (“EDE”), a subsidiary of the Company, for the repayment of $2.5 million for what they consider constitute unfair preference payments. The liquidators have commenced claims against a number of parties which are joined with EDE in the same action. EDE denies that it has any liability for repayment of any sums previously paid to EDE. Decmil has filed a defence in this matter. No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. Non-Audit Services The Board of Directors, in accordance with advice from the audit committee, is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons: ▪ all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and ▪ the nature of the services provided does not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board. The following fees were paid or payable to RSM Australia Partners for non-audit services provided during the year ended 30 June 2018: Taxation compliance services Accounting assistance Total Auditor’s Independence Declaration $ 29,250 9,585 38,835 A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 can be found within this financial report.

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Decmil Group Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. Decmil Group Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors dated 30 July 2018. NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated entity is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Decmil Group Limited at the end of the reporting period. The Company controls an entity when it 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. The assets, liabilities and results of all controlled entities are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the consolidated entity from the date on which control is obtained by the consolidated entity. The consolidation of a controlled entity is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the consolidated entity. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of controlled entities are shown separately within the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets of the controlled entity comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date. Where the consolidated entity loses control over a controlled entity, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the controlled entity together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’) (b) Income Tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in controlled entities, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Tax consolidation Decmil Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the controlled entities nor a distribution by the controlled entities to the head entity. (c) Construction Contracts and Work in Progress Construction work in progress is valued at cost, plus profit recognised to date less any provision for anticipated future losses. Cost includes both variable and fixed costs relating to specific contracts, and those costs that are attributable to the contract activity in general and that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Construction profits are recognised on the stage of completion basis and measured using the proportion of costs incurred to date compared to expected actual costs. Where losses are anticipated they are provided for in full. Construction revenue has been recognised on the basis of the terms of the contract adjusted for any variations or claims allowable under the contract. (d) Interests in Joint Arrangements Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required. Joint venture operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The consolidated entity’s interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the consolidated financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other parties’ interests. When the consolidated entity makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not recognise its share of the gains and losses from the joint operations until it resells those goods/assets to a third party. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (e) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment but excluding freehold land is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Owned plant and equipment Leased plant and equipment 5% to 33% 12.5% to 20% 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 and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. (f) Investment Property Investment property, comprising investment interests in land and buildings, is held to generate long-term returns. Investment property is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. Investment property is carried at fair value which is based on discounted cash flow projections. Investment property is valued at least every 3 years by independent external valuers. Any resultant changes in fair value are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as net gains/(losses) from fair value adjustments on investment property. (g) Leases Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the consolidated entity are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (h) Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed immediately to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (i) Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest over the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. It is allocated to the consolidated entity’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored not being larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed. (j) Intangibles other than Goodwill Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to each class of intangible assets. Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, through the ‘amortisation expenses’ line item. Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists and in the case of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. (k) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the consolidated entity’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled. The consolidated entity’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The consolidated entity’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) Other long term employee benefits Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the periods in which the changes occur. The consolidated entity’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the consolidated entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions. Equity-based payments The consolidated entity provides equity-settled equity-based compensation benefits to employees. The equity-based compensation benefits include the award of shares, and performance rights over shares, in exchange for the rendering of services. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is measured as the share price at the date of grant and the fair value of performance rights is ascertained using various option pricing models which incorporate, where required, market vesting conditions. The number of shares and performance rights expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. (l) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable 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, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. (m) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 6 months or less. (n) Revenue and Other Income Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services, namely construction activities, is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period, where outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable. Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (o) Financing 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 those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred. (p) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Decmil Group Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. (q) Issued Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (r) Dividends Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period. (s) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the relevant revenue authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (t) Financial Instruments Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the consolidated entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income immediately. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) Classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in the statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income. The consolidated entity does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. i. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised. ii. Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. iii. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other financial assets are classified as current assets. Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (u) Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets. Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment. Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets. Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment. (v) Current and Non-current Classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non- current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. (w) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Foreign currency translation The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. (x) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The consolidated entity measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price the consolidated entity would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the consolidated entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) The fair value of liabilities and the consolidated entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to equity-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instrument, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements. (y) Rounding of Amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. (z) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (aa) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the consolidated entity. Impairment of goodwill and intangibles The consolidated entity determines whether goodwill and intangible assets are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill and intangibles are discussed in note 19. Equity-based payment transactions The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of performance rights are determined using various option pricing models. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled equity-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity. Construction contracts When accounting for construction contracts, the contracts are either combined or segmented if this is deemed necessary to reflect the substance of the agreement. Revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method. Stage of completion is agreed with the customer on a work certified to date basis, as a percentage of the overall contract. Revenue from cost plus contracts is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred plus a percentage of fees earned during the financial year. The percentage of fees earned during the financial year is based on the stage of completion of the contract. Where a loss is expected to occur from a construction contract, the excess of the total expected contract costs over expected contract revenue is recognised as an expense immediately. Provision for maintenance In determining the level of provision required for maintenance, the consolidated entity has made judgements in respect of the expected outcome of construction contracts and the costs of fulfilling the maintenance obligations. The provision is based on estimates made from historical data associated with past construction contracts. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) Fair value measurement hierarchy The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the consolidated entity 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. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective. The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs. Provision for impairment of receivables The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors’ financial position. Income tax The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Recovery of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and losses only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Employee benefits provision The liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account. Estimation of useful lives of assets The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 2: New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below. AASB 9 Financial Instruments This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income (OCI). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but it will have minimal impact on the consolidated entity. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining the timing and quantum of revenue recognised. It replaces existing guidance, including AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity shall recognise revenue when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. This standard will become mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Significant judgments and estimates are used in determining the impact, such as the assessment of the probability of customer acceptance of claims, estimation of project completion date and assumed levels of project execution productivity. The contractual terms and the way in which the Group operates its construction contracts is predominantly derived from projects containing one performance obligation. Contracted revenue will continue to be recognised over time, however the new standard provides new requirements for variable consideration, as well as accounting for claims and variations as contract modifications which all impart a higher threshold of probability for recognition. Revenue is currently recognised when it is probable that work performed will result in revenue whereas under the new standard, revenue is recognised when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur for these modifications. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 2: New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods (Cont’d) Currently under AASB 111 Construction Contracts, costs incurred during the tender process are capitalised within other current assets when it is deemed probable the contract will be won. Under the new standard costs can only be capitalised if they are both expected to be recovered and either would not have been incurred if the contract had not been won or if they are intrinsic to the delivery of a project. Based on the current assessment, the higher recognition thresholds in the new standard may lead to an estimated adjustment reducing the current shareholder equity balance of $206.3 million by around $12.3 million (after tax) on 1 July 2018. AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019. The adoption of this standard has been assessed by the consolidated entity and will impact its assets, liabilities and expenses but the extent of which has not yet been assessed by the consolidated entity.

During the year residual goodwill values associated with Scope Australia and Decmil Southern (formerly Cut and Fill) were amalgamated with the goodwill of Decmil Australia as certain activities and operations of these businesses was integrated into Decmil’s principal construction and engineering business unit. Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive. The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for each cash-generating unit: a. 12.9% (2017: 12.9%) pre-tax discount rate; b. 5% (2017: 5%) per annum projected revenue growth rate; c. 2.5% (2017: 2.5%) per annum increase in operating costs and overheads; and d. 2.5% (2017: 2.5%) per annum increase in terminal value. The discount rate of 12.9% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements. Management believes the projected 5% revenue growth rate and 2.5% increase in operating costs and overheads is justified based on past experience and current market outlook. Management also believes that a 2.5% increase in the terminal value of each cash-generating unit is prudent and appropriate based on current market conditions. At the date of this report there has been no reason to adjust these assumptions. Sensitivity As disclosed above, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease. The sensitivities are as follows: a. Revenue for Decmil Australia Pty Ltd would need to decrease by more than 6.2% before goodwill would need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant. b. Overheads for Decmil Australia Pty Ltd would need to increase by more than 17.1% before goodwill would need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant. Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit’s goodwill is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the consolidated entity does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the consolidated entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement. The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

At the shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Decmil Group Limited Employee Share Plan Trust was established. In November 2016, 1,470,000 ordinary shares were issued into the trust on an allocated basis for 58 employees. In October 2017, a further 1,577,500 ordinary shares were issued into the trust on an allocated basis for 80 employees. These ordinary shares will vest to employees after two years of continuous employment from the date of grant. Also, during the year ended 30 June 2018, 213,490 shares were issued under the Decmil Employee Share Purchase Plan. Under this plan, employees who purchased up to $1,000 of shares had those shares matched by the Company. The matched shares are subject to a trade restriction until the earlier of three years or cessation of employment with the Company. In addition to the above share issues, 284,240 shares were issued to executives upon vesting of performance rights during the year ended 30 June 2018. (b) Capital Management Management controls the capital of the consolidated entity in order to maintain an optimal debt to equity ratio, provide shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the consolidated entity can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The consolidated entity’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities (including bank guarantee and surety bonding facilities), supported by financial assets. Management manages the consolidated entity’s capital by assessing the consolidated entity’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. This includes the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and the requirement for further equity funding in the consolidated entity. The deployment of capital to the consolidated entity’s assets and business units is also reviewed regularly and managed to ensure rates of return continue to be at an acceptable level. Where necessary, management may consider redeploying capital within the consolidated entity or alternatively returning capital to shareholders.

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 28: Segment Reporting The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The consolidated entity operates as three segments. 1. Construction and Engineering ▪ Decmil Australia Pty Ltd – multi-discipline design, civil engineering and construction services; ▪ Eastcoast Development Engineering Pty Ltd – fabrication and installation of high pressure pipes, vessels and tanks; ▪ Decmil PNG Limited – construction arm of Decmil located in Papua New Guinea; ▪ Decmil Engineering Pty Ltd – civil construction including roads and bridges primarily for the Government sector; ▪ Decmil Construction NZ Limited – construction arm of Decmil located in New Zealand; ▪ Decmil Southern Pty Ltd (formerly Cut and Fill Pty Ltd) – civil engineering company focussed on civil infrastructure works across the South Eastern seaboard of Australia; and ▪ Scope Australia Pty Ltd – discontinued business specialising in the delivery of study, project management, engineering and design consultancy services to the mining, resources, government and construction sectors. 2. Accommodation ▪ Homeground Villages Pty Ltd – build-own-operation of the Homeground Gladstone Accommodation Village located in Gladstone, Queensland. 3. Other ▪ Decmil Properties Pty Ltd – former owner and manager of a commercial office building located at 20 Parkland Road, Osborne Park, Western Australia which derived internal and external revenue; ▪ SC Services Pty Ltd – discontinued business specialising in the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance services to telecommunications network owners, manufacturers and NBN service providers; and ▪ Decmil Telecom Pty Ltd trading as SAS Telecom – the discontinued mining communications and managed services business. The consolidated entity is domiciled in Australia. 86% of revenue from external customers is generated from Australia. The consolidated entity derives 26%, 20% and 14% (2017: 14%, 10% and 10%) of its revenues from the top three external customers. All of the consolidated entity’s assets are located in Australia. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments a. Accounting policies adopted Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the chief operating decision makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the consolidated entity b. Intersegment transactions Corporate charges are allocated to reporting segments based on the segments’ overall proportion of revenue generation within the consolidated entity. Management believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost recoveries. c. Segment assets Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of the economic value from the asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 28: Segment Reporting (Cont’d) d. Segment liabilities Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the consolidated entity as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings. e. Unallocated items The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment: ▪ income tax expense; ▪ deferred tax assets and liabilities; and ▪ current tax liabilities.

The $65 million multi-option facility encompasses a bank guarantee facility, letter of credit facility, overdraft and/or limited recourse receivables funding facility capped at $25 million and a market loan facility capped at $25 million. The bank market loan facility expires in January 2020. The interest charged is calculated at Bank Bill Rate plus a margin of 1.55% (2017: 1.45%) which equates to 3.73% as at 30 June 2018 (2017: 3.30%).

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 30: Equity Based Payments Performance Rights Plan The Board believes that the long term incentive offered to key executives forms a key part of their remuneration and assists to align their interests with the long term interests of Shareholders. For details of the Long Term Incentive Plan, refer to the Directors’ Report. A summary of the movements of all performance rights issued is as follows: Performance rights outstanding as at 30 June 2016 Granted Forfeited Vested Lapsed Performance rights outstanding as at 30 June 2017 Granted Forfeited Vested Lapsed Performance rights outstanding as at 30 June 2018 Number 6,466,779 3,634,749 (4,060,766) (250,000) - 5,790,762 1,676,126 - (284,240) (851,506) 6,331,142 The fair value of the performance rights granted during the financial year was $311,760. Performance rights are valued using various valuation methodologies, including Black-Scholes option pricing models and Monte Carlo simulations where performance rights have market based vesting conditions. Expected life is based on management’s best estimate at the time of valuation of vesting criteria being achieved. The fair value has been discounted to reflect the probability of not meeting the vesting conditions. The discount factors were determined through an analysis of relative share price to the date of grant, dividends paid and likelihood of rights being forfeited prior to vesting. The weighted average fair value of performance rights granted during the year was $0.186 (2017: $0.305). These values were calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following inputs: Expected vesting period for the performance rights to vest: 2, 3 and 4 years Expected share price volatility: Risk-free interest rate: Dividend yield 30% 2.75% 0.0% Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of future movements. Expenses arising from equity-based payment transactions recognised during the year were as follows: Performance Rights Expenses Written back due to forfeiting Written back due to lapsing Written back on reassessment of probabilities Consolidated Entity 2018 $000 1,403 - (152) (270) 981 2017 $000 1,442 (381) - (397) 664 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 30: Equity Based Payments (Cont’d) Incentive Shares Plan During the year the Board approved an Incentive Shares Plan whereby ordinary shares are issued into the Decmil Group Limited Employee Share Plan Trust on an allocated basis for employees. These ordinary shares will vest to employees after two years of continuous employment from the date of grant. In the event an employee resigns or Decmil terminates their employment due to misconduct or performance related reasons prior to vesting, the shares are forfeited. A summary of the movements of all incentive shares issued is as follows: Unvested incentive shares as at 30 June 2016 Granted Forfeited Unvested incentive shares as at 30 June 2017 Granted Vested Forfeited Unvested incentive shares as at 30 June 2018 Number - 1,475,000 (105,000) 1,370,000 1,762,500 (165,000) (412,500) 2,555,000 The fair value of the incentive shares granted during the financial year was $1,478,906. Incentive shares are valued using the share price at the date of grant. The fair value has been discounted by 25% to reflect the probability of not meeting the continuous employment vesting condition. During the year ended 30 June 2018 the Board used their discretion to vest incentive securities totalling 165,000 to staff who were employed by the SC Services and Scope Australia business units which were discontinued during the financial year. Expenses arising from the incentive shares plan transactions recognised during the year were as follows: Incentive Shares Expenses Written back due to forfeiting Consolidated Entity 2018 $000 1,441 (174) 1,267 2017 $000 387 (21) 366 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 31: Related Party Transactions and Balances Parent entity Decmil Group Limited is the parent entity.

The only derivatives used by the consolidated entity relate to forward foreign exchange contracts in relation to offshore procurement. The consolidated entity does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. (i) Financial Risk Management Policies The Chief Financial Officer and other senior finance executives regularly analyse financial risk exposure and evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the consolidated entity in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Treasury functions are performed in accordance with policies approved by the Board of Directors. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. (ii) Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks the consolidated entity is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, price risk and foreign exchange risk. Interest rate risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows. Liquidity risk The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained. Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, at balance date to recognise financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. There are no material amounts of collateral held as security at 30 June 2018. In respect of the parent entity, credit risk also incorporates the exposure of Decmil Group Limited to the liabilities of all the parties to the deed of cross guarantee. Credit risk is managed on a consolidated basis and reviewed regularly by finance executives and the Board. It arises from exposures to customers as well as through deposits with financial institutions. The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity. Price risk The consolidated entity is exposed to price risks associated with labour costs and to a lesser extent, fuel and steel prices. Wherever possible, the consolidated entity contracts out such exposures or allows for the rise and fall for changes in prices or provides sufficient contingencies to cover for such price risks. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 32: Financial Instruments (Cont’d) Foreign exchange risk Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the consolidated entity holds financial instruments which are other than the Australian Dollar (AUD) functional currency of the consolidated entity. This risk is managed predominantly through forward foreign exchange contracts. (iii) Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis: The tables below reflect the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other financial instruments. As such, the amounts may not reconcile to the statement of financial position.

(iv) Net Fair Values of financial instruments Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amount of financial instruments reflect their fair value. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 32: Financial Instruments (Cont’d) (v) Sensitivity Analysis Interest Rate Risk and Price Risk The consolidated entity has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk, price risk and foreign exchange risk at balance date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis The consolidated entity’s cash and cash equivalents and borrowings are subject to interest rate sensitivities. At 30 June 2018, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant is immaterial. Price Risk Sensitivity Analysis At 30 June 2018, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the price risk, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows: Consolidated Entity 2018 $000 2017 $000 Change in profit Increase in labour costs by 5% (CPI assumption) (3,666) (3,557) Change in equity Increase in labour costs by 5% (CPI assumption) (3,666) (3,557) In the opinion of the consolidated entity’s management, the majority of the above increase in labour cost, had it been incurred, would have been negated by an increase in the price of services offered by the consolidated entity. The above sensitivity analysis has been performed on the assumption that all other variables remain unchanged. Foreign Exchange Sensitivity Analysis The effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates, with all other variables remaining constant, is immaterial. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 33: Fair Value Measurement Fair value hierarchy The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the consolidated entity can access at the measurement date Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset Level 1 $000 Level 2 $000 Level 3 $000 Total $000 Consolidated 2018 Assets Investment property Total assets Consolidated 2017 Assets Investment property Total assets - - - - - - - - 92,410 92,410 92,410 92,410 92,400 92,400 92,400 92,400 There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Investment property has been valued using a discounted cash flow model. Movements in level 3 assets during the current and previous financial year are set out below: Consolidated Balance at 30 June 2016 Additions Revaluation Balance at 30 June 2017 Additions Revaluation Balance at 30 June 2018 Investment Properties $000 111,032 131 (18,763) 92,400 10 - 92,410 Total $000 111,032 131 (18,763) 92,400 10 - 92,410 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 33: Fair Value Measurement (Cont’d) In July 2017, the Group’s investment property, being the Homeground Gladstone Accommodation Village located near Gladstone, Queensland, was revalued by an independent valuer (Ernst & Young). The primary valuation method utilised by the valuer was a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions utilised by the valuer in the preparation of its valuation included: ▪ Useful life of the asset in the range of 20 to 30 years with no terminal value; ▪ Various occupancy assumptions over the estimated useful life based on expected accommodation demand (low of 15% to high of 98%); ▪ Room rate growth in the range of 0% to 2.0%; and ▪ A nominal post-tax discount rate range of 11.0% to 12.0%. As a result of the independent valuation, the Homeground Gladstone investment property was revalued to $92,400,000. The fair value is sensitive to long term changes to key assumptions disclosed above. Any material change within the range for any individual assumption or any combination of assumptions will likely have a material impact on the fair value as follows: Assumption Useful life Occupancy Room rate growth Discount rate NOTE 34: Contingent Liabilities Increase in Assumption Decrease in Assumption Positive impact Negative impact Positive impact Negative impact Positive impact Negative impact Negative impact Positive impact Guarantees given to external parties for satisfactory contract performance for the consolidated entity Consolidated Entity 2018 $000 2017 $000 68,949 63,614 In or around August 2012, Steel Building Systems (SBS) was engaged as a subcontractor by Decmil Australia Pty Ltd (“Decmil”) to construct the Gladstone Village in Queensland. SBS’ scope of work was the design, manufacture and supply of modular buildings, as well as miscellaneous on-site works associated with the modular buildings. On 17 November 2017, the liquidators of SBS commenced proceedings against Decmil Australia Pty Ltd in the NSW Supreme Court for alleged unpaid contract sums of $3.3 million and alleged lost profit on works removed from SBS’ scope of works. Decmil rejects the claims brought by the liquidators of SBS and denies it is indebted to SBS as claimed. Decmil’s current position is that SBS is in fact indebted to Decmil for a similar sum due to defective works and associated rectification costs, incomplete works, overheads incurred by Decmil in connection with the defects and rectification works, expert costs and fees. Decmil has filed a defence in relation to the liquidator’s claims and will file a cross claim for the sum Decmil alleges it is owed by SBS. On 1 May 2017 the Company received an advice from AusIndustry, the agency that oversees technical elements of the Australian Tax Office’s Research and Development Inventive Scheme (“R&D Scheme”), disputing the eligibility of certain engineering activities submitted by the Company in relation to the 2014 financial year for the R&D Scheme. R&D Scheme benefits received by the Company in relation to the 2014 financial year for the disputed engineering activities amounts to approximately $3.4 million. The Company does not agree with the advice received from AusIndustry and under the relevant legislation has requested an independent review of the matter. As at the date of this report, the independent review had not been completed. The Company is also considering further review options available to it, including submission to the Australian Administrative Tribunal. Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 34: Contingent Liabilities (Cont’d) During the year ended 30 June 2017 the liquidators for Forge Group Ltd (in liquidation)(receivers and managers appointed) commenced an action in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Eastcoast Development Engineering Pty Ltd (“EDE”), a subsidiary of the Company, for the repayment of $2.5 million for what they consider constitute unfair preference payments. The liquidators have commenced claims against a number of parties which are joined with EDE in the same action. EDE denies that it has any liability for repayment of any sums previously paid to EDE. Decmil has filed a defence in this matter. Certain contractual claims arising out of engineering and construction contracts have been made by, or against, controlled entities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors do not presently consider the outcome of any of these claims will be materially different to the position taken in the financial accounts of the Company. Apart from the above there are no further contingent liabilities relating to the consolidated entity. NOTE 35: Subsequent Events No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to section 295(5)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001. On behalf of the directors David Saxelby Chairman 31 July 2018 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Members of Decmil Group Limited Opinion We have audited the financial report of Decmil Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets Refer to Note 24 in the financial statements The Group has deferred tax assets of $30.329 million relating mainly temporary differences. losses and tax to For the year ended 30 June 2018, management has performed an assessment on the recoverability of the deferred tax assets by using the Group’s forecast for 2019 and beyond to satisfy the probability criteria that future taxable profits will be available against which the balance can be utilised. Impairment of Intangible Assets Refer to Note 19 in the financial statements The Group has goodwill of $75.482 million relating to the Construction and Engineering cash generating unit (“CGU”) as disclosed in note 19. We focused on this area due to the size of the goodwill balance, and because the directors’ assessment of the ‘value in use’ of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) involves judgements about the future underlying cash flows of the business and the discount rates applied to them. During the year, the Group disposed of SC Services Pty Ltd and Scope Pty Ltd (refer to note 29 (b)). The goodwill of SC Services Pty Ltd was written off in the previous year. The goodwill of Scope Pty Ltd was integrated into the Construction & Engineering CGU, as the part of the business associated with the goodwill was restructured into the Construction & Engineering CGU. During the year, Decmil Southern Pty Ltd (formerly Cut & Fill Pty Ltd) was included in the Construction restructure and & Engineering CGU after a reorganisation of this business unit to integrate into the broader Construction & Engineering business. Our audit procedures in relation to management’s recognition of deferred tax assets included: • Reviewing of the Group’s forecast for 5 assessing years 2019 management’s assumptions and inputs for reasonableness; and from and • Assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, and the manner in which timing differences would be reversed and losses utilised. This was based on the same intangible asset forecasts used valuation model (refer below) and were therefore assessed in conjunction with our audit procedures over intangible assets. the in Our audit procedures in relation to management’s impairment assessment included: • Assessing the appropriateness of the integration of the Decmil Southern Pty Ltd (formerly Cut & Fill Pty Ltd) and Scope goodwill the Construction & Engineering CGU in compliance with the requirements of AASB 136 Impairment into • Assessing the valuation methodology used and reconciling to supporting evidence, such as approved forecasts, then reviewing these forecasts against actual current and previous performance; input data • Challenging the reasonableness of key assumptions used in the valuation model, including the cash flow forecast and discount rates used; • Reviewing management’s sensitivity analysis on revenue growth rates and overheads used in the valuation model to determine the extent of headroom for the CGU; and • Reviewing the adequacy of disclosures against the requirements of AASB 136. For the year ended 30 June 2018, management has performed an impairment assessment over the restructured Construction and Engineering CGU goodwill balance by: • calculating the value in use for the CGU using a discounted cash flow model. This model used cash flows (revenues, expenses and capital expenditure) for the CGU for 5 years, with a terminal growth rate applied to the 5th year. These cash flows were then discounted to net present value using the Group’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC); and • comparing the resulting value in use of the CGU to its book value. Recognition of Revenue and Profits on Long Term Contracts Refer to Note 14 in the financial statements The Group’s largest source of revenue is from construction and engineering. Our audit procedures in relation to recognition of revenue and profits on long term contracts included: Construction and engineering revenues are derived from contracts where revenue is recognised based on the stage of completion. This is measured as the percentage of work performed up to the reporting date with respect to the total anticipated contract work to be performed. Construction and engineering revenue recognised by management after assessing all factors relevant to each contract, including specifically assessing the following as applicable: is • Determination of stage of completion • Estimation of total contract revenue and costs including the estimation of cost contingencies • Determination of contractual entitlement and assessment of the probability of customer approval of variations and acceptance of claims • Estimation of project completion date • Provision for loss making contracts We focused on this area as a key audit matter due to the number and type of estimation events over the course of the contract life, the unique nature of individual contract conditions, leading to complex and judgmental revenue recognition from contracts. • Evaluating and assessing the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the accuracy and timing of revenue recognised in the financial report, including: - Transactional controls in the revenue and billing cycles - Transactional controls in the underlying contract related cost balances in the purchase and payroll cycles • For material contracts with a delivery schedule of greater than 12 months, we performed the following procedures: - Understanding the performance and status of the contracts through enquiries for of personnel with responsibility contract management. - Assessing the Group’s ability to deliver contracts within budgeted margins by analysing the historical accuracy of forecasting margins. - Assessing loss the provisions making contracts and whether these appropriately reflected the expected contractual provisions. for - Evaluating the probability of recovery of outstanding amounts by reference to the historical status of supporting recoveries documentation. negotiations, and other Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
