Albany Ring Road Project Albany, Western Australia 5 Annual Report 2021 Chairman’s Letter In the last 12 months, Decmil has delivered on its commitments to use the 2021 financial year as a year of consolidation, a platform from which to grow in the following financial year and beyond, and to return to profitability. Andrew Barclay Chairman 6 Dear Shareholders, As Chairman of Decmil Group Limited, and on behalf of my fellow Directors, I am pleased to present the Decmil Group Annual Report for 2021. In the last 12 months, Decmil has delivered on its commitments to use the 2021 financial year as a year of consolidation, a platform from which to grow in the following financial year and beyond, and to return to profitability. Consolidation In my report for the 2020 financial year, I suggested that the focus for the 2021 financial year would be on work winning, financial acumen and risk mitigation. I am pleased to report that the strategies adopted to achieve those goals have been achieved. Decmil has largely implemented the turnaround plan set at the beginning of the 2021 financial year. During that 12 month period, Decmil has completed the refresh of the Board and Executive Team, delivered projects to forecast, and won key target contracts in our core market sectors and capabilities. Importantly, Decmil has also finalised legacy disputes (namely the dispute with the NZ Department of Corrections on the Rapid Deployment of Prisons project, the dispute on the Mulla Mulla project, SBS and United Petroleum) so that the senior executive team can now concentrate on winning new work and delivering into existing contacts for existing customers. Further, the standstill arrangements and the repayment plan entered into with Decmil’s bank and surety providers during the 2021 financial year have been finalised and closed out. In a show of confidence in the progress of the company’s financial strategy, NAB has recently extended its $40 million multi-option facility until July 2023, further supporting Decmil’s ongoing financial stability. Decmil has achieved a 35% decrease in overhead costs for the 2021 financial year. Decmil remains focused on rationalising its cost base without sacrificing its core capabilities to respond strategically to new opportunities, changing market conditions and the challenges now posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Board and Governance I would like to welcome Vin Vassallo and David Steele to the Board of Decmil. Both Vin and David joined the Board in June 2021, and they bring to the Board a wealth of industry knowledge and experience, with both having held senior executive positions at major infrastructure construction and engineering companies. The Board is focused on the continued stabilisation of the business and building a sustainable foundation for future growth prospects. Decmil Group LimitedLooking Forward Decmil is well positioned to take advantage of the expected growth in government infrastructure projects fuelled by government stimulus spending in response to the economic recovery post the COVID-19 pandemic. Decmil has already been awarded the Albany Ring Road construction in Western Australia, the upgrade of the Bruce Highway in Queensland and the Gippsland Line Upgrade (rail) in Victoria, to name but a few. These awards evidence Decmil’s capability as one of Australia’s leading domestic providers of infrastructure services across our core capabilities. The award and successful delivery of several Resource and Energy contracts during the year has also enabled the Company to establish new, and reaffirm old, customer relationships in the Resources and Energy sectors. The Company has also increased its focus on its traditional competency as a commercial builder by targeting key projects and existing business relationships in the Western Australian market. This sector continues to show strength through government spending and stimulus across commercial and residential markets. COVID-19 The Company’s activities are based in industries that have largely been deemed ‘essential’ and therefore the impact of COVID 19 through the 2021 financial year has not been all that significant. A range of safety protocols - observing good personal hygiene practices, social distancing, avoiding unnecessary travel, implementing effective cleaning, and engaging workforces from within home states - has been successfully implemented and has reduced potential interruptions to our people and clients. However, COVID 19 has caused delays in the final award of new projects, which has impacted the expected timing of awards for Decmil’s pipeline of project opportunities currently being tendered. Our People Our people will always be the core of our business. I would like to extend my appreciation to employees and management for their strong work ethic, loyalty and dedication over the past year. The achievement of our targets would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of our people. The safety of our people is of paramount importance. The management and project teams need to be commended for an exceptional safety performance throughout the year. Decmil has reported industry leading metrics of zero lost time injuries for the period and a total recordable injury frequency rate of 0.9 for FY21. During the year, Decmil also launched its inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan. The purpose of the plan is to make a positive impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the areas of employment and economic development. However, equally importantly, the Plan is designed to enhance cultural understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the entire Decmil workforce. Although the implementation of the Plan is an ongoing focus, I am pleased to report that our Albany Ring Road project for Main Roads Western Australia continues to report total work hours by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons of greater than 25%, with other key infrastructure projects reporting between 5 and 10%. Conclusion The Board is confident about the future outlook for Decmil. This confidence is underpinned by work-in-hand revenue of approximately $570 million, which provides a stable revenue base for a further growth in revenue for the 2022 financial year, and which should enable sustainable growth for our Company in the years beyond. The Board believes that it has put in place a foundation which will further improve the financial performance of the Company and create a work environment which is focused on excellence, integrity and performance. On behalf of the Board, I thank our highly valued and talented team for their contribution. In addition, I would like to thank our shareholders and various stakeholders for their ongoing support. I look forward to our people working together to strengthen the Company’s financial position in the year ahead while furthering our solid reputation for project excellence across our four industry sectors of infrastructure, resources, energy and construction.

Warradarge Wind Farm Project Warradarge, Western Australia 16 Decmil Group LimitedHealth and Safety Health and Safety Ensuring the health and safety of our people, partners and communities in which we operate is core to everything we do at Decmil. Keeping our people healthy and safe requires a constant commitment from our teams and our leaders. During the past year we have placed an increased focus on the management of critical risks, simplification of our management systems and improving the tools we use to efficiently capture and report on health and safety information. This has enabled us to keep pace with technology and strive for continual improvement. Performance During the year, all health and safety lagging indicator results, Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR); Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and High Potential Incident Frequency Rate (HPIFR) improved from the previous reporting period. 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 TRIFR LTIFR HPIFR 0.9 0.0 5.5 4.3 0.7 7.2 5.3 1.1 9.1 3.4 1.0 12.9 6.3 0.8 9.9 Critical Risk Program Across the industries we operate in, our people are exposed to hazards that can result in accidents and impact our health if not appropriately controlled. With the construction industry ranked highly for worker fatalities and serious injuries, it is crucial that we all understand the risks associated with our operations. With this in mind, Decmil embarked on a review and revision of our current approach to the management of health and safety risks. Over the course of the year, our project teams committed their time and efforts to developing our new Critical Risk Program, which comprises six critical risks most relevant to the work we do at Decmil. We looked to our clients, our own lessons learned and industry data to develop this new program. The new Critical Risk Program was implemented across the business at the beginning of 2021 and supports our goal of zero fatalities and no significant incidents on our projects, despite the often difficult conditions we operate in. The Critical Risk Program sets out the minimum requirements to effectively manage and reduce the exposure of our people to the critical risks across our operating environments. Management System During the year, Decmil was externally audited by the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner (OFSC) which resulted in succssfully maintaining OFSC accreditation. This accreditation allows us to deliver federally funded projects and also successfully transitioned our third party accreditation from ISO18001 to ISO45001. We have implemented a new health and safety data platform which has enhanced the proactive capture and subsequent analysis of health and safety information. The platform has also increased efficiency of project teams with mobility solutions removing significant paperwork for project personnel. COVID-19 The ongoing challenges from COVID-19 continued throughout the year. A significant effort across all our project and office locations has been made to ensure the health and wellbeing of our people, and where possible maintain productivity of our operations. A number of control measures were implemented across our operations to manage the risks of COVID-19, tailored to each project and location, including rostering changes to maintain social distancing, modifications to site layouts and implementing health screening and check-in processes prior to workers travelling to site or in screening on arrival prior to entering the workplace. Our project teams implemented innovative solutions to meet COVID-19 contact tracing requirements using innovative technology to dramatically reduce the risk of COVID-19 during the delivery of vital project works. The lanyard technology allows the identification of close and casual contacts within 5 minutes and subsequent contact of affected individuals by automated message if required. We received no reports of positive cases amongst our employees or contractors among our operations. Our processes continue to be applied as required and in accordance with applicable public health orders on a project and location basis. Wellbeing Initiatives A dedicated campaign in partnership with Mates In Construction, focusing on Suicide Prevention in the industry, was successfully rolled out across all projects and corporate offices. The campaign was extremely well received, with an encouraging number of staff taking part in dedicated Mates In Construction training. Our EAP provider program was available to all employees and their families and provided short-term and solutions focused counselling to a number of people throughout the year. With COVID-19 related lockdowns affecting the regions we operate in, this service proved a valuable support for our people. 17 Annual Report 2021 Together we are forward thinking and share the belief in respect for the world and the legacy of our actions. Mordialloc Freeway Project South-East Melbourne, Victoria 18 Decmil Group LimitedSustainability Environmental Excellence Sustainability Strong environmental performance is pivotal to the ongoing success and sustainability of Decmil, and we recognise our contribution to sustainable development through best-practice in environmental management, community investment and increasing the diversity of our workforce, subcontractors and supply chain. There were no significant environmental incidents or penalties recorded across Decmil’s operations. Key achievements include: • Maintaining our accredited Environmental Management System • Rolling out Environmental Sustainability Procedures and supporting tools and training materials to improve awareness and enhance performance • Continuing to build Environmental and Sustainability capability within the business • Continuing our transition to a ‘paper-light office’ by supporting the use of electronic document management and collaboration as well as digital and mobile technology solutions for project based personnel • • Pursuing environmental initiatives relating to carbon reduction, waste management, water recycling and conservation Land rehabilitation and native vegetation planting on our projects. Our approach is aimed at creating new opportunities and enhancing legacy, social and environmental outcomes to deliver lasting benefits for all our stakeholders. The Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) has an IS Rating Scheme (IS), Australia and New Zealand’s only comprehensive rating system for evaluating sustainability across the planning, design, construction and operational phases of infrastructure projects. Decmil currently has two projects undergoing an IS Rating; Mordialloc Freeway seeking a Verified IS Rating V1.2 through ISCA, and Albany Ring Road seeking a Verified Design & As Built IS Rating V2.0 through Main Roads WA. To support the integration of sustainability practices within the organisation and increase capability amongst our personnel, Decmil has identified 20 senior personnel to participate in further training regarding ISCA requirements. This will help further embed ISCA knowledge requirements and increase capability within the business. Additionally, there has been a strong focus on supply chain engagement to influence our suppliers and subcontractors with our approach towards sustainability and stimulate innovation within the ever-evolving industry. The 2022 financial year will see many new partnerships and opportunities for local businesses to foster meaningful, long- term relationships with Decmil. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Participation Decmil provides a work culture that fosters inclusion, respect and equality for all people. We embrace diversity and understand the significant positive influence that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have in our teams and in our communities. During the financial year, Decmil staff received tailored training on supplier diversity and ways to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander business engagement and procurement within our organisation. There was an increase in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people engagement by 71.5% across the business for direct employees along with significant improvements to subcontractor and supplier Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people participation. Other key achievements include: • Launch of our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) • Ongoing cultural awareness training and inductions on projects • Setting targets for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment, participation and/or business spend on key projects • Undertaking of smoking ceremonies to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which we operate • Celebrating National Reconciliation Week, NAIDOC week and other significant events. 19 Annual Report 2021 Yandin Wind Farm Project Dandaragan, Western Australia 20 Decmil Group LimitedSocial Inclusion and Governance Our Corporate Social Responsibility program, Decmil In The Community, is about giving back, helping people in need and supporting local communities. We do this through charity events, corporate friendships, volunteering and fundraising. We encourage our project teams to engage with local communities to support education, sport and culture as well as proactively working to improve social amenities. Our four key areas of focus are: 1. Aboriginal engagement and reconciliation 2. Diversity and inclusion 3. Environmental sustainability 4. Mental health and wellbeing. Over the past financial year, Decmil has supported a number of social inclusion initiatives on our projects. Albany Ring Road Project, Western Australia Mordialloc Freeway Project, Victoria In 2021, in acknowledgement of the historical context of Albany and the regional ties to ANZAC, Decmil provided a significant donation to the Albany RSL for the annual ANZAC Remembrance Day Services. The donation provided support to the historic dawn service, as well as the mid-morning service for members of the RSL, families of servicemen, as well as members of the community. Decmil representatives from the Albany Ring Road project attended the services. Mental health support and awareness is ever increasing within the construction industry. The Albany Ring Road project team were provided specific training on mental health awareness by Mates in Construction. Decmil extended this to the broader construction industry in the region by sponsoring Mates in Construction training in conjunction with the Albany division of the Master Builders Association. An ongoing awareness, outcomes and survey for threatened species, such as the Western Ringtail Possum are being completed within the current footprint. This is through keeping open discussions and engagement with Not For Profit groups (Torbay Catchment), and building relationships with University of Western Australia to ensure that research for conservation occurs during construction. This has also been extended to the broader Albany Urban Conservation Areas, through volunteering with the City of Albany Bushcare Group. The project team worked closely with our client to maximise the volume of recycled products which could be reused in the construction products for the project. High value trees were removed from within the project alignment that were not suitable for reuse within the landscaping, and were reused as follows: • Habitat management on nearby waterways and creek lines • • • Trees were donated to the local community from local men sheds Trees were donated to local residents Trees were donated to local City Councils. The project team critically reviewed the project design to minimise the import and use of virgin material. This resulted in a reduction in the plant hours required and therefore reduced emissions and enabled the reuse of recycled materials. We encourage our project teams to engage with and support the local communities in which we operate. 21 Annual Report 2021 People and Culture Our Approach Decmil’s people and culture has been a key factor in the Company’s success. Our people approach comprises strategic objectives that create an agile, leadership driven and high performance culture to enable us to rise to the challenge. Our vision continues to align our people and is essential for success across Decmil. Our Core Values and Guiding Principles define why we do what we do, how we do it, and a shared promise to our clients and all stakeholders. Our vision is to be the market leader in project delivery, achieving sustainable growth through the quality of our people and the strength of our relationships. Annual Overview Decmil’s focus has been to centralise the core functions across the business and ensure a sustainable growth, which has meant that there has been a slight decrease to the overall head count in the business. The number of employees at 30 June 2021 was 374: 269 salaried employees and 105 wage employees. This figure does not include contractors, subcontractors or Non-Executive Directors. With our diverse portfolio of projects we have been able attract over 161 new employees to the business over the last 12 months, all of which have varying backgrounds, skills and experience. At Decmil, we believe that our employees are the best source of quality candidates and have found success in our referral program when sourcing new talent to the business. We have focused on the retention strategies across the business to ensure we are able to retain the talent across the business. These strategies has meant that our overall rolling turnover has decreased by 9% over the past 12 months, which is a reflection of the continued success we expect to achieve in this area. Diversity and Inclusion We consider the continued commitment to diversity and inclusion as an opportunity to deliver on our objective of satisfactory returns to shareholders. We acknowledge that our customers and stakeholders are diverse and therefore, understand that by embracing the individual skills, perspectives and experiences our people bring to the workplace and harnessing these for high performance and improved delivery. Decmil has a diversity policy in place which guides employees to embrace diversity and inclusion in the workplace and builds a workplace of respect and inclusivity. Diversity at Decmil means respect for individual differences. It means valuing and using the unique knowledge, skills and attributes that our people bring to work. Our continued commitment in this area has resulted in a number of exciting achievements in relation to Diversity and Inclusion. Diversity and Inclusion Achievements FY21 • Decmil’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people engagement ratio increased by 71.5% across the business for direct employees along with significant improvements to subcontractor and supplier Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people participation. • 55% of the graduates employed in the business currently are females • Decmil conducted a review of the support and processes undertaken across the business for returning parents in the workplace, whereby parent rooms were introduced into offices where possible, flexible work arrangements (including working from home) have been adopted across the business and additional wellbeing checks conducted for employees that are on parental leave • 25% of the promotions across the business were to female employees, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees forming 5% of the promotions in the business. • Project traineeships have increased by 400%. Our goal is to retain the diverse talent within our workforce and support our people to maintain a long and productive working career. Outlook Next year, our focus will be to continue growing our capability across our business by driving inclusive and diverse high- performing teams and increasing collaborative partnerships with both colleagues and clients. By ensuring that we attract, develop and retain the right people and diverse talent across the business, we can guarantee delivery of results to our stakeholders. This will be achieved by continuing to build a culture of collaboration and continuous learning, where successes are recognised and our people are rewarded. Our leaders are our key drivers in inspiring and encouraging our people and we will therefore be investing in our leaders and capabilities to drive this success. 22 Decmil Group LimitedWe are relentless in pursuing positive outcomes, empowering our people to champion our capabilities through innovative thinking.

Statutory revenue was $304 million which includes a $9.7 million write-down of a contract position from a legacy dispute. Overheads2 from continuing operations fell from $41.2 million to $26.4 million as a result of the successful restructure in early 2020. Normalised EBITDA3 from continuing operations was $7.6 million. Reported EBITDA3 was ($2.1 million) which includes a $9.7 million write-down of a contract position from a legacy dispute. The consolidated entity reported a statutory net loss for the year of $11,456,000 (2020: loss of $140,424,000). Operating cash flow for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 was a net outflow of $21.7 million. Excluding the repayments of called surety bonds for the Sunraysia and RDP projects of $24.3 million, operating cash flow was a net inflow of $2.6m. At 30 June 2021 the balance sheet reflected an overall net debt position of $8.1 million compared to a net cash position in the prior year of $18.7 million. The reduction was predominantly due to $24.3 million of repayments of called surety bonds. Net tangible assets were $40 million at 30 June 2021 compared to the prior year of $49.2 million. Dividends Paid or Recommended No final dividend was paid, declared or recommended for payment. 1 Adjustment relates to write-down of a contract position from a legacy dispute 2 Overheads include administration expenses and equity based payments 3 Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairments 4 Non-current asset held for sale fair value adjustment 5 Earnings before interest and tax Annual Report 2021 33 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 COVID-19 Decmil has experienced some operational impact from COVID-19. Contracted work across all projects has proceeded relatively smoothly with materials being locally sourced as far as practical. Decmil has implemented robust procedures to mitigate the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak, including social distancing measures at its worksites, which will continue to be monitored closely. Decmil has experienced some delays in site access and contract awards which can be attributed to COVID-19 related breakouts in certain states. While the Company successfully navigated COVID-19 obstacles during FY21, the situation remains dynamic and there remains a possibility for disruptions to operations in FY22. Decmil will continue to proactively manage the COVID-19 situation and continue to inform the market of any updates. As the date of this report all Decmil sites are operational, with strict hygiene and control measures in place, however, this is subject to change. During FY21, Decmil was successful in securing benefits from the Federal and State Government COVID-19 stimulus packages including JobKeeper, payroll tax rebates and deferrals and PAYG deferrals. Decmil is also expecting to benefit from the significant Federal and State Government investment in infrastructure works following the COVID-19 pandemic. Operational Overview Operations continue to reflect the diversity of the Group, with project activity spanning public sector infrastructure projects across Australia, non-process and worker accommodation facilities for the WA and Queensland resource sectors and balance of plant works in renewable energy. Key operational highlights for the year ended 30 June 2021 include: Safety ▪ Exceptional safety performance with no lost time injuries for the period and a total recordable injury frequency rate of 0.9 ▪ Continued successful navigation and management of COVID-19 restrictions on personnel movement, offshore manufacture and border restrictions to ensure minimal effect on projects. Infrastructure ▪ Award of $300 million Gippsland Line Upgrade contract to the VicConnect Alliance, an alliance between Rail Projects Victoria, UGL and Arup. Decmil’s share of the rail infrastructure contract is $120 million and commenced on site in April 2021 ▪ Award of a $55 million contract for the design and construction of phase one of the Albany Ring Road and the design of phase two works for the Western Australian Government. Works for phase one commenced on site in September 2020, with optioneering for next phase of the project ongoing in partnership with Main Roads Western Australia ▪ Award of $8 million Great Eastern Highway Wooroloo Realignment project as part of Main Roads Western Australia Panel Works Program ▪ Award of $25 million Bruce Highway Gin Gin to Benaraby road infrastructure project with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads which commenced on site in March 2021 ▪ Approved by Major Road Projects Victoria as P3 Panelist ($25 to $150 million projects) under the new Program Delivery Approach (PDA) model recognising Decmil’s capability, capacity, past performance and ability to deliver value-for-money solutions ▪ Continued successful delivery of the $400 million Mordialloc Freeway project for MRPV with JV partner McConnell Dowell which is ahead of schedule ▪ Successful practical completion of the $47 million Reid Highway Widening project 34 Decmil Group Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Operational Overview (Cont’d) ▪ Successful practical completion of the Warrego Highway Upgrade project for the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) ▪ Successful practical completion of the Bruce Highway (Benaraby – Rockhampton) – Calliope to Mt Alma Safety Works for the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) ▪ Successful practical completion of the QR Mayne Brisbane Depot project for Queensland Rail ▪ Reaffirmed its F150+ accreditation. Resources ▪ Award of $39 million of non-process infrastructure works at the Mesa A and Mesa J iron ore mines in the Pilbara region of Western Australia for Rio Tinto. Both projects commenced on site in 2021 ▪ Successful practical completion of $40 million of accommodation infrastructure for the Carmichael Rail Network project leading to award of additional accommodation infrastructure variation works. Energy ▪ The award of a $51 million contract for balance of plant works at the Ryan Corner Windfarm for GPG in Victoria ▪ The award of a $21 million contract for balance of plant works at the Crookwell Windfarm for GPG in New South Wales ▪ Successful practical completion of the combined $151 million Yandin and Warradarge Wind Farm balance of plant projects ▪ R1 registration achieved for Sunraysia Solar Farm in December 2020 with commissioning underway. Homeground Gladstone ▪ COVID has impacted occupancy levels in FY21 at Homeground Gladstone, with many Homeground Gladstone clients having to postpone maintenance works due to various lockdowns that have inhibited their ability to access FIFO workers ▪ Between March 2020 and April 2021, the occupancy at Homeground Gladstone was materially affected by COVID related deferments. Since May 2021, there has been a catch up and occupancy has improved. Between March 2020 and April 2021, average occupancy was 6.5% ▪ In May, this increased to 9.1%, in June to 13.2% and in July 20.5%. August is forecast to be ~30%. At this stage, bookings are strong for September and then taper off again from October. Significant Changes in State of Affairs There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year. After Balance Date Events On 27 July 2021, Decmil signed a syndicated facility agreement with Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd (PureAM) and Horley Pty Ltd (Franco) which comprises a $20 million term loan facility ($15 million PureAM and $5 million Franco). The loan is a 3.5 year term (with the option of voluntary prepayment subject to early repayment premiums) at an interest rate of 11% per annum, reducing to 10% if the net leverage ratio falls below 2.0x and increasing to 15% if a review event or event of default is triggered. The facility agreement includes warrants of 30.8 million underlying shares (23.1 million PureAM and 7.7 million Franco) with an exercise price of $0.65 (subject to adjustment), expiring 5 years after issue, subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting of the Company no later than 31 August 2021. The loan is secured by second-ranking security over all present and future-acquired property and a second- ranking registered security over the property located in West Stowe, Queensland (Homeground). The loan facility was drawn to $20 million at the date of this report. Annual Report 2021 35 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 After Balance Date Events (Cont’d) On 26 July 2021, Decmil initiated a $10 million, $0.40 per share two tranche capital raise (Placement) with a $2 million share purchase plan (SPP). The Placement includes one option for every two new shares issued, exercisable at $0.48, with an expiry date of 2 years from issue. Tranche one of the Placement ($7.7 million) was settled on 30 July 2021. Tranche two of the Placement and the SPP are subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting of the Company to be held on 30 August 2021. Settlement of the SPP (up to $2 million) is expected on 30 August 2021 and settlement of tranche two of the Placement ($2.3 million) is expected on 3 September 2021. Except for the matters disclosed above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years. Likely Developments and Outlook Several of Decmil’s key sectors are experiencing strong market conditions. These sectors and their drivers are summarised below: ▪ ▪ Infrastructure (WA, Vic and Qld): a significant spend in transport infrastructure (road and rail) over the coming 5 years has been announced by all state governments. Decmil continues to build its position in road and rail projects and has won contracts in both road and rail in Victoria, Queensland and WA recently. Leveraging Decmil’s existing capability in road, rail and bridge construction, there are also opportunities to expand further into the NSW region. Iron Ore (WA): the iron price has remained very strong allowing Pilbara iron ore producers to generate significant cashflows. All four major producers (BHP, Rio, Fortescue, Roy Hill) are each investing in significant operational upgrade projects that are expected to continue over the next several years. ▪ Other Mining (WA and Qld): the buoyant iron ore price coupled with strong prices in other mining commodities (gold, copper) are also stimulating investment in several other large projects (e.g. Winu copper project by Rio Tinto). ▪ Energy (National): high levels of capital spend on renewable energy projects with the shift towards a decarbonised economy. Decmil has now established a presence in both solar (Gullen and Sunraysia) and wind (Warradarge, Yandin and Ryan Corner). Decmil’s focus on renewable projects is on balance of plant contracts and Decmil will avoid contracts with interconnection risk. Road/Rail investment by state ($ billion) Source: Infrastructure Partnerships Australia 2021 36 Decmil Group Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Likely Developments and Outlook (Cont’d) As at 30 June 2021 the Company has approximately $570 million of work in hand (contracted and preferred extending in to FY24). Accordingly, the Company expects revenue to grow in FY22. Material Business Risks The key challenges for the Group going into the 2022 financial year are: ▪ Building and maintaining balance sheet strength ▪ Delivering profitability within the current and future suite of projects ▪ Selecting projects that can deliver acceptable returns for commensurate risk. Material risks that could adversely affect the Group include the following: ▪ Potential funding issues: The Company’s ability to effectively implement its business strategy over time, may also depend in part on its ability to raise sufficient working capital. The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures. The Company relies on surety bond providers or its primary bank to provide bonding facilities that allow the Company to procure new work. As the Company grows its revenue, it may need to find new bonding facilities which may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms. If such bonding is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of growth opportunities. ▪ Current disputes: The Company is a party to a dispute regarding its Sunraysia Solar Farm contract. This dispute may be resolved on a commercial basis and/or through formal dispute proceedings. The timing and the outcome of this dispute is uncertain and may result in the Company not receiving amounts which it has forecast or making payments which it has not forecast. This may result in significant financial loss to the Company or lower than anticipated project realisation. The Company has signed a Moratorium with the Client, agreeing a stay of Arbitration proceedings as well as an agreement not to draw down on Security Bonds to offset potential liquidated damages – this Moratorium runs through to anticipated Substantial Completion of the works, which is nominated as 30/11/2021. The Arbitration proceedings against Schneider (downstream) remain on foot. In addition, Southern Cross Electrical Engineering (SCEE) is in formal arbitration proceedings with Decmil relating to SCEE’s subcontract on the 2017 Rio Tinto Amrun Project. While Decmil considers that SCEE is unlikely to be successful in this arbitration, there remains a chance that SCEE may be successful in which case the Company may have to make a payment to SCEE. This may result in a material financial loss to the Company. ▪ Debt facilities: The Company has agreed debt and bonding facilities with both National Australia Bank Limited, Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd, Horley Pty Ltd and its four main surety bond providers. If the Company is unable to repay or refinance its debt facilities upon the expiry of these facilities, the Company may have to seek further equity funding, dispose of its assets, or enter into new debt facilities on less favourable terms and there is no guarantee it will be able to do so. These factors could materially affect the Company’s ability to operate its business and its financial performance. The Company is also subject to various covenants and obligations contained in its debt facilities. In the event that any of these are breached, the Company's lenders may cancel their commitments under the facilities and require all amounts payable to them under or in connection with the facilities to be repaid immediately. If the Company is unable to repay or refinance its debt facilities upon maturity, or in the event of a breach of covenant, the Company may have to seek further equity funding, dispose of its assets, or enter into new debt facilities on less favourable terms and there is no guarantee it will be able to obtain further debt. These factors would materially affect the Company's ability to continue to operate its business and its financial performance. Annual Report 2021 37 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Material Business Risks (Cont’d) ▪ Accreditations: The Company relies heavily upon various technical and financial accreditations to operate its 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 on a regular basis. Any failure to maintain or comply with an accreditation can impact the eligibility of the Company to participate in certain projects and/or sectors and this will have a material effect on the business. ▪ Effective management of contracts and the risk of dispute: Effective ongoing contract management seeks to ensure, among other things, appropriate project and customer selection and the effective management of customer expectations and contract terms. There is a risk that the Company may fail to manage its existing contracts appropriately and may therefore be subject to disputes with customers regarding the payment of fees and liability for costs and delays. Such disputes can be costly, result in further liability to the Company, absorb significant amounts of management time and damage customer relationships. The Company may also experience payment defaults or delays, whether in conjunction with disputes or otherwise, leading to increased debt levels. ▪ External factors that may impede operational activities: The Company's activities are subject to numerous operational risks, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company's activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of factors such as adverse weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, external services failure, industrial disputes and action, IT system failures, mechanical failures and compliance with governmental requirements. Industrial and environmental accidents could lead to substantial claims against the Company for injury or loss of life, and damage or destruction to property, as well as regulatory investigations, penalties and the suspension of operations. The occurrence of any one or a combination of these events may have a material adverse effect on the Company's performance and the value of its assets. ▪ Safety: In order for the Company to continue working on engineering construction projects, a robust safety methodology needs to be in place. A serious safety incident or fatality may impact the Company's social licence to operate. This can affect the Company by increasing its costs for carrying out work, increasing the time required to complete packages of work and impairing the Company’s ability to win new work. ▪ Labour costs and availability: The Company's ability to remain productive and competitive and to affect 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 the Company’s ability to hire and retain employees. The Company is exposed to increased labour costs in markets where the demand for labour is strong. A shortage of skilled labour could limit the Company’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. ▪ Tender processes and new contracts: The Company’s revenue is dependent on winning new contracts with acceptable terms and conditions. The Company operates in increasingly competitive markets and it is difficult to predict whether and when the Company will be awarded new contracts due to multiple factors influencing how clients evaluate potential service providers, such as accreditations, maintenance and safety standards, experience, reputation, client relationships and financial strength. Consequently, the Company is subject to the risk of losing new awards to competitors which will adversely impact its business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company's results of operations and cash flows may fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on the timing and size of new contract awards. The Company is also at risk from materially underestimating the cost of providing services, equipment or plant. 38 Decmil Group Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Material Business Risks (Cont’d) ▪ Homeground occupancy: 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 lower levels of revenue and profit than historically generated. The Company expects that in the medium-term new opportunities will arise for Homeground Gladstone as energy prices rise and energy companies (gas, hydrogen, renewables) progress investment plans; however, the risk of volatility in the short term remains present. ▪ 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. The Company aims to continually improve its environmental performance. ▪ Inflation: The buoyant economy and demand for construction services and commodities is impacting the price of many construction components including steel, concrete and other items. While most of the Company’s contracts contain rise and fall clauses, those clauses generally reference publicly available cost indices which may not correspond to the price rises of cost inputs and as such the profitability of individual projects may be impacted. ▪ Climate risk: There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include: I. the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower- carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences. II. climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates. ▪ Coronavirus (COVID-19): The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. In addition, the Company’s Australian projects may be impacted by international supply issues and the inability for the Company’s workforce to move between states. The delivery of key supplies and construction components have all been either delayed or cancelled as a result of restricted international trade in light of COVID-19. As a result of sudden and unpredictable border travel changes, freight of interstate supply items may be impacted which in turn may cause delays in the delivery of projects. The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market in regard to the impact of COVID-19 on its revenue channels and any adverse impact on the Company. Annual Report 2021 39 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Material Business Risks (Cont’d) ▪ Economic: General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. The Company is exposed to the impact of economic cycles and, in particular, how these cycles increase or decrease future capital expenditure by state and federal governments and by energy and resources companies. These economic cycles are in turn impacted by a number of factors including: the fiscal conditions of the economy; government policies on capital expenditure; and commodity prices. ▪ Lump sum contract: A portion of the Company’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 occur 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. ▪ Market conditions: Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: I. general economic outlook II. introduction of tax reform or other new legislation III. interest rates and inflation rates IV. changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors V. the demand for, and supply of, capital VI. terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. In addition, the extent of the effects of COVID-19 is at this stage uncertain and continuing to evolve. The COVID-19 pandemic is having, and is expected to continue to have, a significant influence on the volatility of equity markets generally and may continue to impact and influence the value of the Company’s quoted securities. ▪ Litigation risk: The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. ▪ Reliance on key personnel: The Company’s ability to remain productive, profitable and competitive and to affect 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 the Company’s ability to hire and retain employees. The Company is exposed to increased labour costs in markets where the demand for labour is strong. A shortage of skilled labour could limit the Company’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. 40 Decmil Group Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 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.

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 is 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 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 ▪ 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. Annual Report 2021 43 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 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 Comprises base salary, superannuation contributions and other benefits such as motor vehicles and life insurance. STI The STI component of the KMP remuneration is paid in cash. Company and individual performance are considered during the annual remuneration review. The STI KPIs include: ▪ achievement of EBITDA target as a hurdle for payment of the STI ▪ ▪ a budgeted target in relation to Group cash flow from operations targets set for safety performance based on Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rates and Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate. 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. The STI has been designed to support our remuneration philosophy by: ▪ rewarding KMP for exceptional business performance (financial and operational) ▪ ▪ focusing KMP on achieving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which contribute to shareholder value providing significant bonus differentials based on performance against KPIs. 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. Vesting of awards is dependent upon share price targets and continuous employment. 44 Decmil Group Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 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 ensures 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% (subject to the statutory cap), 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 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.

Financial measures are assessed based on the Group’s audited financial results. In September of the financial year after the target year. The payment of any accrued or part STI benefit in these circumstances is at the discretion of the Board. The STI award opportunity is based on a percentage of an individual’s base salary. For the CEO, a maximum award opportunity of 75% 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. 2.6 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 ▪ contribute to eligible participants feeling they own part of Decmil and have an influence in the direction of Decmil. 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? The Company uses performance rights and restricted shares in its long term incentive plan. The CEO and executives can earn up to 100% of total fixed remuneration converted into performance rights at the 20-day VWAP to 30 June. Vesting hurdles for performance rights for executives are based on share price targets (80%) and continuous employment (20%). The achievement of vesting conditions for performance rights are assessed between July and September after three years after the financial year of which the grant of the performance rights was made. 46 Decmil Group Limited DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT’D FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Remuneration Report (Cont’d) General Terms of the LTI Plan (cont’d) What happens if an executive leaves or there is a change of control? Are executives eligible for dividends? 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. 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. Unvested performance rights 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. 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 vesting conditions that relate to unvested performance rights as at 30 June 2021: 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. 20% of Performance Rights vest when and if the share price average (based on closing prices) over any consecutive 30 trading days exceeds $0.80 c. 30% of Performance Rights vest when and if the share price average (based on closing prices) over any consecutive 30 trading days exceeds $1.20 d. 30% of Performance Rights vest when and if the share price average (based on closing prices) over any consecutive 30 trading days exceeds $1.60. The above vesting conditions will be assessed three years after the financial year of which the grant of the performance rights was made. All performance rights related to prior year schemes have lapsed and therefore the details of these schemes have not been included in this report.

Non-Executive Director fee arrangements 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 ▪ indemnities, insurances and access. 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 accountabilities. 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 the NED fee structure inclusive of superannuation: Board fees Chairman Non-Executive Director Committee fees Committee Chair Committee Member Annual Fees ($) 130,000 75,000 8,100 - 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 and this maximum sum cannot be increased without shareholders’ approval by ordinary resolution at a general meeting.

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 18 August 2021. NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 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 (‘AASB’), and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). 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. Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 36. Annual Report 2021 61 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (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. (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. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 62 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) 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) Contract Assets and Liabilities The contract assets are for: entity’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on the contracts; costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer; costs to obtain contracts with customers; pre-contract costs and setup costs; and the amount of amortisation and any impairment losses recognised in the reporting year. The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional. The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for which transfer of control occurs, and therefore revenue is recognised. The entity recognises revenue for each respective performance obligation when control of the product or service transfers to the customer. (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. (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 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 Plant and Equipment Depreciation Rate Owned plant and equipment Leased plant and equipment 5% to 33% 12.5% to 20% Annual Report 2021 63 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) 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) Non-Current Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. (g) Right-of-use Assets A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. (h) Lease Liabilities A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 64 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. (i) 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. (j) 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. For the purpose of impairment testing and since the acquisition date of the business combination, goodwill is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree were assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than a segment. (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. Annual Report 2021 65 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 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) Trade and Other Payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. (n) 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. (o) Revenue and Other Income The financial reporting standard on revenue from contracts with customers establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. An asset (goods or services) is transferred when or as the customer obtains control of that asset. 66 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) Revenue from Construction Activities: For long-term service contracts and projects for constructing, manufacturing or developing an asset the customer value is created over time during the contract period and it is accounted for as a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. This is because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the entity’s performance in processing each transaction as and when each transaction is processed; the performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or the performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The revenue is recognised over time by using the input method. For the input method the revenue is recognised on the basis of the efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation such as resources consumed, labour hours expended and costs incurred, relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. Services: Revenue from service orders and term projects is recognised when the entity satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time generally when the significant acts have been completed and when transfer of control occurs or for services that are not significant transactions revenue is recognised as the services are provided. Accommodation: Accommodation revenues are recognised as services are performed, which for the accommodation segment is over the term of the customer’s stay. Interest income: Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). (p) 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. (q) 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. Annual Report 2021 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (r) 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. (s) 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. (t) 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. (u) Financial Instruments Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments: A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All other financial instruments are recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date accounting or settlement date accounting. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the entity neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. A financial liability is removed from the statement of financial position when, and only when, it is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. At initial recognition the financial asset or financial liability is measured at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Classification and measurement of financial assets: Financial assets classified as measured at amortised cost: A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at fair value through profit or loss, that is (a) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Typically trade and other receivables, bank and cash balances are classified in this category. Financial assets that are a debt asset instrument classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: There were no financial assets classified in this category at reporting year end date. Financial assets that are an equity investment classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: There were no financial assets classified in this category at reporting year end date. Financial assets classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss: There were no financial assets classified in this category at reporting year end date. 68 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss in either of the following circumstances: the liabilities are managed, evaluated and reported internally on a fair value basis; or the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. All other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Reclassification of any financial liability is not permitted. (v) 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. The trade receivables and contract assets are subject to the expected credit loss model under the financial reporting standard on financial instruments. The methodology applied for impairment loss is the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. The expected lifetime losses are recognised from initial recognition of these assets. These assets are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due for measuring the expected credit losses. The allowance matrix is based on its historical observed default rates over a period of 36 months over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. The loss allowance was determined as nil for both trade receivables and contract assets. (w) Discontinued Operations A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (x) 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. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. (y) Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Annual Report 2021 69 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (z) 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. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. (aa) 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). 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. 70 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (ab) 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. (ac) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (ad) 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. Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Impairment of goodwill and intangibles The amount of goodwill is tested annually for impairment. This annual impairment test is based on assumptions that are affected by expected future market or economic conditions. As a result, judgement is required in evaluating the assumptions and methodologies used by management, in particular those relating to the forecasted revenue growth and profit margins. The disclosures about goodwill are included in note 20, which explains that small changes in the key assumptions used could give rise to an impairment of the goodwill balance in the future. Actual outcomes could vary from these estimates. 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. Revenue recognised over time: The entity has revenue where the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognised over time by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. A single method is applied consistently for measuring progress for each performance obligation satisfied over time. Judgment is required when selecting a method (output or input methods) for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation. Annual Report 2021 71 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) Assessing the satisfaction of performance obligations over time requires judgment and the consideration of many criteria that should be met to qualify such as whether the customer presently is obligated to pay for an asset, whether the customer has legal title, whether the entity has transferred physical possession of the asset, whether the customer has assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and whether the customer has accepted the asset. Events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Even if the events anticipated under the assumptions occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the estimates since other anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. The related account balances at the end of the reporting year are disclosed in the notes 4 and 14 on revenues and contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract modifications: A contract with a customer is accounted for as a separate contract if (1) the scope of the contract increases because of the addition of promised goods or services that are distinct and (2) the price of the contract increases by an amount of consideration that reflects the entity's stand-alone selling prices of the additional promised goods or services. In order to faithfully depict the entity's rights and obligations arising from a modified contract, the modifications may be accounted for some prospectively and others on a cumulative catch-up basis. The accounting for the modification depends on whether the additional promised goods or services are distinct. The accounting for contract modification requires judgement. In addition, if the entity has not yet determined the price, management has to estimate the change to the transaction price arising from the contract modification using the variable consideration guidance in the financial reporting standard. Contract modifications may have a significant impact on the entity's ability to record revenue. The related account balances at the end of the reporting year are disclosed in the notes 4 and 14 on revenues and contract assets and liabilities. 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. 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 The deferred tax relating to an asset is recognised when the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of the asset through use or sale. Judgement is required for assessment of whether recovery will be through use or through sale when the asset is measured using the fair value model for investment property or when the revaluation model is required or permitted by a financial reporting standard for a non-financial asset. Management has taken the view that as there is clear evidence that the entity will consume the relevant asset economic benefits throughout its economic life. The amount is detailed in note 25. 72 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 2: New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations 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 2021. 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. Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the consolidated entity has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements. Annual Report 2021 73 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 3: 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 two segments. Construction and Engineering ▪ Decmil Australia Pty Ltd – multi-discipline design, civil engineering and construction services ▪ Decmil Construction NZ Limited – discontinued construction arm of Decmil located in New Zealand ▪ Decmil Southern Pty Ltd – civil engineering and infrastructure construction services ▪ Decmil Maintenance Pty Ltd – dormant entity formerly known as Decmil Infrastructure Pty Ltd ▪ Eastcoast Development Engineering Pty Ltd – acquired business now integrated into the Decmil Australia Pty Ltd entity ▪ Decmil Engineering Pty Ltd – acquired business now integrated into Decmil Australia Pty Ltd entity ▪ Decmil PNG Limited – dormant construction arm of Decmil located in Papua New Guinea. Accommodation ▪ Homeground Villages Pty Ltd – holder of the units in the Homeground Gladstone Unit Trust ▪ Homeground Gladstone Unit Trust – Homeground Gladstone Accommodation Village located in Gladstone, Queensland. The consolidated entity is domiciled in Australia. 100% of revenue from external customers is generated from Australia. The consolidated entity derives 48%, 9% and 8% (2020: 33%, 28% 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. 74 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 3: 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/benefit ▪ deferred tax assets and liabilities ▪ current tax liabilities.

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is most sensitive. The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for each CGU: a. 12.9% (2020: 12.9%) pre-tax discount rate b. 5% (2020: 5%) per annum projected revenue growth rate from FY2023 onwards c. 2.5% (2020: 2.5%) per annum increase in operating costs and overheads from FY2023 onwards d. 2.5% (2020: 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 CGU 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. To test the sensitivity of the assumptions, the Company undertook simulations related to: a. Per annum revenue growth rate reduced to 0% from FY2023 onwards b. Per annum operating cost and overhead growth rate increased to 10% from FY2023 onwards c. Per annum terminal value growth rate reduced to 0%. The simulations resulted in the recoverable amount exceeding the carrying amount of the CGU when each was considered in isolation of the others. Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of each CGU’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.

During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Decmil Group Limited Employee Share Plan Trust was established. Shares allocated to employees stay in the trust and vest to employees after two years of continuous employment from the date of grant. There was no allocation made to employees during the year ended 30 June 2021. During the year ended 30 June 2021, 245,135 shares were issued to executives upon vesting of performance rights. On 5 November 2020 a share consolidation took place, reducing every 10 securities on issue to 1 security, applying to shares, performance rights and options on issue at that date. Subsequent to 30 June 2021, the Company issued new shares for capital raising. Details of the capital raising are in note 37. (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.

Annual Report 2021 101 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 31: 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 20191 Granted1 Forfeited1 Vested1 Lapsed1 Performance rights outstanding as at 30 June 20201 Granted Forfeited Vested Lapsed Performance rights outstanding as at 30 June 2021 Number 617,564 207,475 (162,468) (79,802) (107,254) 475,515 4,881,841 (554,896) (24,514) (31,447) 4,746,499 The fair value of the performance rights granted during the financial year was $610,230. Performance rights are valued using various valuation methodologies, including Binomial and Barrier option pricing models. 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 and the likelihood of rights being forfeited prior to vesting. The weighted average fair value of performance rights granted during the year was $0.125 (2020: $0.178). These values were calculated using a Binomial and Barrier option pricing model applying the following inputs: Expected vesting period for the performance rights to vest: 3 years Market price of shares: Expected share price volatility: Risk-free interest rate: Dividend yield: $0.57 35% 0.2% 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.

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.

The consolidated entity does not use derivatives nor speculates 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 and price 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. Unused facilities are disclosed in note 30(d). Credit risk Financial assets that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk and failures by counterparties to discharge their obligations in full or in a timely manner are subject to credit risk. These arise principally from cash balances with banks, cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the total of the fair value of the financial assets at the end of the reporting year. Credit risk on cash balances with banks and any other financial instruments is limited because the counter-parties are entities with acceptable credit ratings. For expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets, a simplified approach is permitted by the financial reporting standards on financial instruments for financial assets that do not have a significant financing component, such as trade receivables. On initial recognition, a day-1 loss is recorded equal to the 12 month ECL (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables), unless the assets are considered credit impaired. For credit risk on trade receivables an ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of the debtors and an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Reviews and assessments of credit exposures in excess of designated limits are made. Renewals and reviews of credits limits are subject to the same review process. Note 12 discloses the maturity of the cash and cash equivalents balances. Cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of the standard on financial instruments. There are no material amounts of collateral held as security at 30 June 2021. 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. 106 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 33: Financial Instruments (Cont’d) 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. (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.

(v) Sensitivity Analysis Interest Rate Risk and Price Risk The consolidated entity has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk and price 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 2021, 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 2021, 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 2021 $000 2020 $000 Change in profit Increase in labour costs by 5% (CPI assumption) (3,064) (4,179) Change in equity Increase in labour costs by 5% (CPI assumption) (3,064) (4,179) 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. 108 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 34: 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 2021 Assets Non-current asset held for sale Total assets Consolidated 2020 Assets Non-current asset held for sale Total assets - - - - - - - - 56,655 56,655 56,655 56,655 56,644 56,644 56,644 56,644 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. The non-current asset held for sale has been valued using a discounted cash flow model. In October 2019, the Group’s property, being the Homeground accommodation village located near Gladstone, Queensland, was revalued by an independent valuer (Ernst and 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 is 20 years with no terminal value ▪ Various occupancy assumptions over the estimated useful life based on expected future accommodation demand ▪ Room rate growth of 1.0% from FY21 ▪ A nominal post-tax discount rate range of 9.5% to 11.0%. The Homeground Gladstone property is currently on the market and classified as a non-current asset held for sale and is valued at $56,655,000 net of selling costs. Due to the long term nature of the 20 year useful life of the asset, the fair value assessment at 30 June 2021 took into consideration a range of occupancy scenarios that were re-validated by the expert engaged in order to continue to rely upon them in the independent valuation. Annual Report 2021 109 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 34: Fair Value Measurement (Cont’d) 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 Increase in Assumption Decrease in Assumption Positive impact Positive impact Positive impact Negative impact Negative impact Negative impact Negative impact Positive impact NOTE 35: Contingent Liabilities Guarantees given to external parties for satisfactory contract performance for the consolidated entity Consolidated Entity 2021 $000 2020 $000 69,917 96,842 Decmil is currently engaged in contractual disputes in relation to the Sunraysia Solar Farm project with Sunraysia Solar Project Pty Ltd and the Amrun project with Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited. Whilst the Company expects a favourable outcome on these disputes, in the event that it is unsuccessful in its claims, it may be required to pay liquidated damages and/or other amounts to the customer. Apart from the above there are no further contingent liabilities relating to the consolidated entity. 110 Decmil Group Limited NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 36: Parent Entity Information Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income Loss for the year Total comprehensive income for the year Statement of financial position ASSETS Current assets Non-current assets TOTAL ASSETS LIABILITIES Current liabilities Non-current liabilities TOTAL LIABILITIES EQUITY Issued capital Accumulated losses TOTAL EQUITY a) Guarantees Parent Entity 2021 $000 2020 $000 (37,307) (37,307) (32,100) (32,100) 71,489 90,915 162,404 139,082 10,106 149,188 79,146 91,293 170,439 108,214 11,467 119,681 267,543 (254,327) 13,216 267,778 (217,020) 50,758 Cross guarantees have been provided by Decmil Group Limited and its controlled entities as listed in note 27(b). b) Other Commitments and Contingencies Decmil Group Limited has no commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment, and has no contingent liabilities apart from that disclosed in note 35. c) Significant accounting policies The accounting policies of the parent entity are consistent with those of the consolidated entity, as disclosed in note 1, except for the following: - Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, in the parent entity. Annual Report 2021 111 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 37: Subsequent Events On 27 July 2021, Decmil signed a syndicated facility agreement with Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd (PureAM) and Horley Pty Ltd (Franco) which comprises a $20 million term loan facility ($15 million PureAM and $5 million Franco). The loan is a 3.5 year term (with the option of voluntary prepayment subject to early repayment premiums) at an interest rate of 11% per annum, reducing to 10% if the net leverage ratio falls below 2.0x and increasing to 15% if a review event or event of default is triggered. The facility agreement includes warrants of 30.8 million underlying shares (23.1 million PureAM and 7.7 million Franco) with an exercise price of $0.65 (subject to adjustment), expiring 5 years after issue, subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting of the Company no later than 31 August 2021. The loan is secured by second-ranking security over all present and future-acquired property and a second- ranking registered security over the property located in West Stowe, Queensland (Homeground).

This area is 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. Our audit procedures included:  Reviewing contractual terms with customers and substantiated project revenues and costs incurred against underlying supporting documents; assumptions  Assessing management’s in determining the stage of completion, total contract revenue and total estimated costs;  Checking mathematical accuracy of revenue recognised during the year based on the stage of completion;  Reviewing and customers subcontractor correspondences and discussed the progress of the projects with project managers for any potential disputes, variation order claims, known technical issues or significant events that could impact the estimated contract costs;  Discussing with project personnel and management on the rationale for revisions made to estimated costs and checked supporting documentation; and and assessed the reasonableness of the provision for foreseeable losses provided by management.  Reviewing management’s assessment Non-Current Asset Held-for-sale Refer to Note 16 in the financial statements The Group owns a property in the Homeground Accommodation Village in Gladstone, Queensland.

With reference to the valuation report, management impaired the property to fair value less cost to sell of $56,655,000. The primary valuation method used by the external valuer was a discounted cash flow (DCF) model. We determined this area to be a key audit matter as there are judgements involved in the preparation of the DCF model such as the useful life of the asset, estimated occupancy rates over the useful life, estimated growth rates and an appropriate post-tax discount rate.
