Under the new agreement, EMD will manufacture all locomotives for the Australian market with Downer continuing to sell EMD locomotives and after-market products, including spare parts. EMD will manufacture the locomotives at one of its new low cost overseas facilities. This new model will ensure Downer has a sustainable locomotive business as it exits high cost manufacturing and concentrates on sales, repairs and maintenance and whole of life asset management. * 2011 rofe has been restated due to the attribution of roads equity to new Zealand. 6 downer edI LImIted DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 Downer continues to build its partnership with French company Keolis, one of Europe’s leading public transport operators.

Downer Rail continues to develop its maintenance and asset management capabilities. It is the largest provider of outsourced freight maintenance services in Australia, with a national network of over 20 maintenance centres. It provides customers with frontline maintenance, locomotive overhauls, remote help desks and derailment recovery and repair services.

At 30 June 2012, 11 Waratah trains had received a certificate of Practical Completion and were available for passenger service. The trains in passenger service are performing well. OUTlOOK There is, at the current time, an increasing level of uncertainty around the level and timing of Government and private sector investment in infrastructure in both Australia and New Zealand. That said, Downer is well positioned in terms of the percentage of work already secured that will impact on the year ahead. Accordingly, Downer expects to deliver EBIT of around $370 million and NPAT of around $210 million for the 2013 financial year.

The consolidated entity’s corporate governance statement is set out at page 117 of this Annual Report. NON-AUDIT SERvICES Downer is committed to audit independence. The Audit Committee reviews the independence of the external auditors on an annual basis. This process includes confirmation from the auditors that, in their professional judgment, they are independent of the consolidated entity. To ensure that there is no potential conflict of interest in work undertaken by our external auditors (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu), they may only provide services that are consistent with the role of the Company’s auditor. The Board has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice from the Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Reference to executives in this report means KMPs who are not Non-executive Directors. The report covers the following matters: 1. Remuneration policy, principles and practices; 2. Relationship between remuneration policy and company performance; 3. The Board’s role in remuneration; 4. Description of Non-executive Director remuneration; 5. Description of executive remuneration; 6. Details of Director and executive remuneration required under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth); 7. Key terms of employment contracts; and 8. Prior equity-based remuneration plans. summary of chanGes to remuneratIon PoLIcy Downer undertook a significant review of executive remuneration policy in the prior year and this was refined during the period. The refinement considered Company strategy, reward plans based on performance measurement and stakeholder feedback on prior practices. There have been limited changes to the policy in the current year and these are noted in the various sections of this report and are summarised below: – Increased focus on capital efficiency and cash flow through changing the cash measure for the short-term incentive (STI) from Operating Cash to Free Cash Flow (FFO). Refer to Section 5.3.3 for a definition of FFO; and – Introduction of the increase in Board discretion for the 2012 period onwards to vary STI payments by up to + or – 100 per cent from the payment applicable to the level of performance achieved, up to the maximum for that executive. 1. REmUNERATION POlICy, PRINCIPlES AND PRACTICES 1.1 non-executIve dIrector remuneratIon PoLIcy Downer’s Non-executive Director remuneration policy is to provide fair remuneration that is sufficient to attract and retain Directors with the experience, knowledge, skills and judgement to steward the Company’s success. 10 downer edI LImIted DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 1.2 executIve remuneratIon PoLIcy Downer’s executive remuneration policy and practices are summarised in the table below. Policy Practices aligned with policy Retain experienced, proven performers, and those considered to have high potential for succession – Provide remuneration that is internally equitable and fair; and – Defer a substantial part of pay contingent on service and sustained performance. Focus performance – Provide a substantial component of pay contingent on performance; – Focus attention on the most important drivers of value by linking pay to their achievement; and – Require profitability to reach an acceptable level before any bonus payments can be made. Provide a Zero Harm environment – Incorporate “Zero Harm” for our employees, contractors, Manage risk Align executive interests with those of shareholders Attract experienced, proven performers communities and the environment as a significant component of reward. – Encourage sustainability by balancing incentives for achieving both short-term and longer-term results; – Set stretch targets that finely balance returns with reasonable but not excessive risk taking; – Cap maximum incentive payments to moderate risk taking; – Do not provide significant “cliff” reward vesting that may encourage excessive risk taking as a performance threshold is approached; – The long-term performance is assessed using multiple measures, diversifying risk and limiting the prospects of unintended consequences from focusing on just one measure; – Require service beyond performance periods for reward vesting to encourage retention and allow forfeiture of rewards that are the result of misconduct or material adjustments; – The Board retains full discretion to vary incentive payments in the event of excessive risk taking; – Staggered testing of performance at the end of the financial year (STIs) and calendar year long-term incentives (LTIs) to encourage performance sustainability and reduce the chance of excessive risk taking to maximise reward at one testing time; and – Restrict trading of vested equity rewards to ensure compliance with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. – Provide that a significant proportion of pay is delivered as shares so part of executive reward is linked to shareholder value performance; – Maintain a guideline minimum shareholding requirement for the Managing Director; – Encourage holding of shares after vesting via a trading restriction for all executives; and – Prohibit hedging of unvested equity and equity subject to a trading lock to ensure alignment with shareholder outcomes. – Provide a total remuneration opportunity sufficient to attract proven and experienced executives from secure positions in other companies. annuaL rePort 2012 11 DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 2. RElATIONShIP BETWEEN REmUNERATION POlICy AND COmPANy PERFORmANCE 2.1 comPany strateGy and remuneratIon Downer’s business strategy includes: – Seeking organic growth through focusing on serving existing customers better across multiple products and service offerings of the Company; – Paying down debt to improve gearing, reduce risk and enhance the Company’s capability to withstand threats and take advantage of opportunities; – Obtaining better utilisation of assets and improved margins through simplifying and driving efficiency; – Identifying opportunities to manage the Downer portfolio that deliver long-term shareholder value; – Being able to adapt to the changing economic and competitive environment to ensure Downer delivers shareholder value; and – Capitalising on the resources sector opportunities. The Company’s remuneration policy complements this strategy by: – Incorporating company-wide performance requirements for both STI and LTI reward vesting to encourage cross-divisional co-operation; – Performance metrics that focus on cash flow to reduce working capital and debt exposure, with increased weighting on this measure in 2012; – Setting earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) STI performance and gateway requirements based on effective application of funds employed to run the business for better capital efficiency; – Changing the cash measure for the STI from Operating Cash to Free Cash Flow (FFO) to provide more emphasis on control of capital expenditure; and – Emphasis on Zero Harm measures in the STI. 2.2 remuneratIon LInKed to Performance The link to performance is provided by: – Requiring a significant portion of executive remuneration to vary with short-term and long-term performance; – Applying a profitability gateway to be achieved before an STI calculation for executives is made; – Applying challenging financial and non-financial measures to assess performance; and – Ensuring that these measures focus management on strategic business objectives that create shareholder value. Downer measures performance on the following key corporate measures: – Earnings per share (EPS) growth; – Total shareholder return (TSR) relative to other ASX100 companies (excluding ASX “Financials” sector companies); – EBIT; – FFO; – Development of our people; and – Zero Harm measures of safety and environmental sustainability. Remuneration for all executives varies with performance on these key measures.

ThE BOARD’S ROlE IN REmUNERATION The Board engages with shareholders, management and other stakeholders as required, to continuously refine and improve executive and Director remuneration policies and practices. Two Board Committees deal with remuneration matters. They are the Remuneration Committee and the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee. The role of the Remuneration Committee is to review and make recommendations to the Board in relation to executives in respect of: – executive remuneration and incentive policy; – remuneration of senior executives of the Company; – executive reward and its impact on risk management; – executive incentive plan; – equity-based incentive plan; – superannuation arrangements; – recruitment, retention, performance measurement and termination policies and procedures for all key management personnel and senior executives reporting directly to the Managing Director; – disclosure of remuneration in the Company’s public materials including ASX filings and the Annual Report; and – retirement payments. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recommending and reviewing remuneration arrangements for the Executive Directors and Non-executive Directors of the Company. To ensure coordination of remuneration policy, the chairs of the Remuneration Committee and the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee are members of both Committees. Each Committee has the authority to engage external professional advisers without seeking approval of the Board or management. During the reporting period, the Remuneration Committee retained Guerdon Associates Pty Ltd as its adviser. Guerdon Associates Pty Ltd does not provide services to management and is considered to be independent. 4. DESCRIPTION OF NON-ExECUTIvE DIRECTOR REmUNERATION There has been no change to the basis of Non-executive Director fees since the prior reporting period. Fees for Non-executive Directors are fixed and are not linked to the financial performance of the Company. The Board believes this is necessary for Non-executive Directors to maintain their independence. Shareholders approved an annual aggregate cap of $2 million for Non-executive Director fees at the 2008 AGM. The allocation of fees to Non-executive Directors within this cap has been determined after consideration of a number of factors, including the time commitment of Directors, the size and scale of the Company’s operations, the skill sets of Board members, the quantum of fees paid to Non-executive Directors of comparable companies and participation in Board Committee work. 14 downer edI LImIted The basis of fees and the fee pool are reviewed when new Directors are appointed to the Board, when the structure of the Board changes, or at least every three years. Reference is made to individual Non-executive Director fee levels and workload (i.e. number of meetings and the number of Directors) at comparably sized companies from all industries other than the financial services sector, and the fee pools at these companies. In addition, an assessment is made on the extent of flexibility provided by the fee pool to recruit any additional Directors for planned succession after allocation of fees to existing Directors. The Chairman receives a base fee of $375,000 per annum (inclusive of all Committee fees) plus superannuation. The other Non-executive Directors each receive a base fee of $150,000 per annum plus superannuation. Additional fees are paid for Committee duties: $35,000 for the chair of the Audit Committee; and $15,000 for the chair of the Zero Harm Committee, Remuneration Committee and the Risk Committee. Under his original terms of appointment in 2001, John Humphrey is eligible for certain retirement benefits. Consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, the right to these retirement benefits has been frozen and has been fully provided for in the financial statements. Other Non-executive Directors are not entitled to retirement benefits. All Non-executive Directors are entitled to payment of statutory superannuation entitlements in addition to Directors’ fees. 5. DESCRIPTION OF ExECUTIvE REmUNERATION 5.1 executIve remuneratIon structure Executive remuneration has a fixed component and a component that varies with performance. The variable component ensures that a proportion of pay varies with performance. Performance is assessed annually for performance periods covering one year and three years. Payment for performance assessed over one year is an STI. Payment for performance over a three year period is an LTI. If Company performance exceeds that of competitors, realised total executive remuneration, including incentive payouts, will be in the top quartile of the market. In order for maximum STIs to be awarded, performance must achieve a stretch goal that is a clear margin above the planned budget for the period. This enables the Company to attract and retain better performing executives, and ensures pay outcomes are better aligned with shareholder returns. Target STIs are less than the maximum STI. Target STI is payable on achievement of planned objectives. For executives the target STI is 75 per cent of the maximum STI. The maximum total remuneration that can be earned by an executive is capped. The maximums are determined as a percentage of fixed remuneration. These maximums are equal to or higher than most market peers. If maximum total remuneration is achieved, the proportions attributable to each incentive component will be as shown in the following table. DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 Executive position Managing Director Executives appointed prior to 2011 Executives appointed from 2011 Target STI % of fixed pay Maximum STI % of fixed pay* Maximum LTI % of fixed pay 75 75 50 100 100 75 100 75 50 *Prior to the application of any individual performance modifier (IPm). The proportions of STI to LTI take into account: – Market practice; Maximum total performance based pay as % of fixed pay 200 175 125 – The service period before executives can receive equity rewards; – The behaviours that the Board sought to encourage through direct key performance indicators; and – The requirement for the Managing Director to maintain a shareholding as a multiple of pay after equity rewards have vested. 5.2 fIxed remuneratIon Fixed remuneration is the sum of salary and the direct cost of providing employee benefits, including superannuation, motor vehicles, car parking, living away from home expenses and fringe benefits tax. The level of remuneration is set to be able to attract proven performers from secure employment elsewhere, while maintaining internal equity to retain proven performers whether sourced externally or internally. Remuneration is benchmarked against a peer group of direct competitors and a general industry peer group. While market levels of remuneration are monitored on a regular basis, there is no contractual requirement or expectation that any adjustments will be made. The market sectors in which the Company competes may have significant market differentials and remuneration levels must reflect those competitive forces. Adjustments to executive fixed remuneration in 2012 were to recognise changed responsibilities and accountabilities or significant variations from market levels. Most KMP did not receive any adjustment in the 2012 year. Target and maximum incentive payments are set as a percentage of fixed remuneration. 5.3 short-term IncentIve 5.3.1 STI OVERVIEW The STI plan provides for an annual payment that varies with annual performance. This has been applied to performance measured over the Company’s financial year to 30 June 2012. The basis of the plan is designed to align STI outcomes with financial results. No STI is paid unless a minimum of 90 per cent of the relevant budgeted profit target is met. For corporate executives, the hurdle is 90 per cent of the Group budgeted profit target. For business unit executives, the hurdle is 90 per cent of the business unit budgeted profit target. Profit for this purpose is defined as Earnings Before Interest and Tax expense (EBIT). This minimum must be of a materially sufficient size to justify the payment of STI to an executive, and deliver an acceptable return for the funds employed in running the business. As noted in section 5.1, the maximum STI that can be earned is capped to minimise excessive risk taking. The STI payment is made in cash after finalisation of the annual audited results. No part of the STI is deferred, as Directors believe risk management is carefully addressed by other remuneration policies. Nevertheless, this aspect of policy remains under review, given emerging market trends to defer part of STI. 5.3.2 HOW STI PAYMENTS ARE ASSESSED Target STI plan per cent of pay An individual’s target incentive under the STI plan is expressed as a percentage of fixed remuneration. The STI plan percentage is set according to policy tabulated in section 5.1. Organisational or divisional scorecard result As a principle, “target” achievement would be represented at budget. Threshold and maximums are also set. Individual performance modifier (IPM) At the end of the plan year, eligible employees are provided with an IPM against their key performance indicators and relative performance. Individual key performance indicators are set between the individual and the Managing Director (if reporting to the Managing Director) or the Board (if the Managing Director) at the start of the performance period. IPMs must average to 1 across all plan participants. STI plan incentive calculation Fixed remuneration x target STI plan per cent x scorecard result x IPM. annuaL rePort 2012 15 DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 5.3.3 STI PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS Overall Company performance is assessed on Company EBIT, FFO, Zero Harm and a measure of people development. The move to FFO and changes to the weighting between measures were designed to focus more on capital expenditure and cash collection. It is expected there will be refinements in the overall measures and weightings from year to year in order to better align with Company performance and better risk management. EBIT includes joint ventures and associates and includes inter alia, changes in accounting policy, material asset sales, acquisitions or divestments. FFO is defined as net cash from operating activities (i.e. EBIT plus non-cash items in operating profit plus distributions received from JVs or associates plus movements in working capital plus movements in operating assets less net interest less tax paid), less Investing Cash Flow. Zero Harm reflects Downer’s commitment to safety and environmental, social and governance matters. The Zero Harm element includes the following safety and environmental measures, underscoring Downer’s commitment to customers, employees, regulators and the communities in which it operates: – Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) calculated as the number of recordable injuries x 1,000,000/the hours worked in 12 months; – Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) is calculated as the number of lost time injuries x 1,000,000/the hours worked in 12 months; and – Environmental sustainability covers the preparation of plans, reporting on energy consumption and GHG emissions and progressing to reductions in GHG emissions. Should a fatality or serious environmental incident occur, the safety or environmental portion of the STI is foregone. People measures include the proportion of performance plans and reviews completed. Weightings applied to the 2012 STI scorecard measures for all executives, including the Managing Director, are set out in the table below. Executive Corporate Business unit EBIT 30% 30% (7.5% Group, 22.5% business unit) Free cash flow Zero Harm People 30% 30% (7.5% Group, 22.5% business unit) 30% 30% 10% 10% The Board has increased its discretion for the 2012 period onwards to vary STI payments by up to + or – 100 per cent from the payment applicable to the level of performance achieved, up to the maximum for that executive. Specific details of STI performance requirements are set out in Section 6.4. 5.3.4 STI TABULAR SUMMARY The following table outlines the major features of the 2012 STI plan. Purpose of STI plan – Focus performance on drivers of shareholder value over 12 month period; – Improve “Zero Harm” and people related results; and – Ensure a part of remuneration costs varies with the Company’s 12 month performance. Minimum performance “gateway” before any payments can be made 90 per cent of budgeted EBIT for the business unit applicable to the executive, i.e. the Company EBIT for the Managing Director and corporate executives and business unit EBIT for business unit heads. Maximum STI that can be earned – KMP appointed pre 2011: up to 100 per cent of fixed remuneration; and – KMP appointed from 2011: up to 75 per cent of fixed remuneration. Percentage of STI that can be earned on achieving target expectations 75 per cent of the maximum. For an executive to receive more, it will require performance in excess of target expectations. Individual performance modifier (IPM) – An IPM may be applied based on an executive’s individual key performance indicators and relative performance; and – Moderate individual performance may result in an IPM of less than 1 or outstanding performance may result in an IPM greater than 1. The IPM must average 1 across all plan participants. 16 downer edI LImIted DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 Discretion to vary payments The Board, in its discretion, may vary STI payments by up to + or – 100 per cent from the payment applicable to the level of performance achieved up to the maximum for that executive.

Additional service period after performance period for payment to be made None. Payment timing Form of payment September 2012. Cash. Performance requirements Group and divisional EBIT, FFO, Zero Harm and people measures. New recruits Terminating executives New executives (either new starts or promoted employees) are eligible to participate in the STI in the year in which they commence in their position with a pro-rata entitlement. There is no STI entitlement where an executive’s employment terminates prior to the end of the financial year. The Board retains the right to vary from policy in exceptional circumstances. However, any variation from policy and the reasons for it will be disclosed. In determining the EBIT achievement for KMP during the reporting period, the Statutory Results have been adjusted for the sum of the Individually Significant Items per Note 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, the major item being the restructure of Reliance Rail in February 2012. Downer has transferred the equity accounted Reliance Rail hedge reserve of $72.5 million via the income statement to retained earnings. This transfer has had no impact on cash, equity, net assets or underlying earnings. The restructure was implemented to provide greater certainty that Reliance Rail would be able to refinance its various facilities in 2018. While considered to be in the best interests of Downer, it has negatively impacted full year statutory earnings. 5.4 LonG-term IncentIve 5.4.1 LTI OVERVIEW Executives participate in an LTI plan. This is an equity-based plan that provides for a reward that varies with Company performance over three year measures of performance. Three year measures of performance are considered to be the maximum reasonable time period for setting incentive targets for earnings per share. The payment is in the form of restricted shares. The shares are purchased and held in a trust. This allows the Company to align the timing of its tax deduction with the impact on cash flow. Dividends on the shares held in trust related to plans prior to 2011 are distributed to executives prior to vesting of the shares. Directors note that these dividends are proportional to profit, which reinforces the focus on performance and alignment with the interests of shareholders provided by this form of remuneration. From the 2011 LTI plan onwards, dividends on shares held in trust will not be distributed during the performance measurement and service periods. Net accumulated dividends will be distributed to executives after all vesting conditions have been met. The 2012 LTI represents an entitlement to ordinary shares subject to satisfaction of both a performance condition and a continued employment condition. Grants are in two equal tranches, with each tranche subject to an independent performance requirement. The performance requirements for both tranches share two common features: – once minimum performance conditions are met, the proportion of shares that qualifies for vesting gradually increases pro rata with performance. This approach avoids “cliff” vesting, where a large proportion of reward either vests or does not vest either side of a minimum performance requirement. This approach reduces the incentive for excessive risk taking; and – the maximum reward is capped at a “stretch” performance level that is considered attainable without excessive risk taking. Performance for the 2012 LTI grants is measured over the three year period to 31 December 2014. The Board is of the view that with STI assessed at the end of the financial year, assessing LTI at the end of the calendar year reduces risk because: – incentive rewards are contingent on different measurement dates. This reduces the likelihood of excessive risk taking because attempts to maximise reward at one point in the year could adversely affect incentive reward outcomes at the next measurement point; and – the risk of executive turnover is reduced given that incentives do not all vest at one time in the year. annuaL rePort 2012 17 DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 The proportion of shares that can vest will be calculated in February 2015, but executives must remain in service until 31 December 2015 (or, but for payment in lieu of notice, would have remained in service until 31 December 2015) before they receive any shares. This additional service requirement is to further enhance Company risk management by: – encouraging retention; – allowing discovery of any factors that could contribute to financial restatement that may result in forfeiture of reward; – allowing for a review of executive behaviours to ensure they have complied with the Company’s ethical and risk management guidelines and standards of business conduct; and – maintaining shareholder alignment for a longer period. After vesting, the shares remain in trust and are subject to a trading restriction that is governed by the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee considers requests to lift the trading restriction after reviewing executive compliance with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. All vested and unvested shares held in the trust will be forfeited if the Board determines that an executive has committed an act of fraud, defalcation or gross misconduct or in other circumstances at the discretion of the Board. 5.4.2 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS One tranche of restricted shares in the 2012 LTI grant qualifies for vesting subject to performance relative to other companies, while the other tranche of restricted shares qualifies for vesting subject to an absolute performance requirement. The relative performance requirement is based on total shareholder return (TSR). TSR is calculated as the difference in share price over the performance period, plus the value of shares earned from reinvesting dividends received over this period, expressed as a percentage of the share price at the beginning of the performance period. If the TSR for each company in the comparator group is ranked from highest to lowest, the median TSR is the percentage return to shareholders that exceeds the TSR for half of the comparison companies. The 75th percentile TSR is the percentage return required to exceed the TSR for 75 per cent of the comparison companies. Shares in the tranche to which the relative TSR performance requirement applies vest pro rata between the median and 75th percentile. That is, 0 per cent of the tranche vest at the 50th percentile, 4 per cent at the 51st percentile, 8 per cent at the 52nd percentile and so on until 100 per cent vest at the 75th percentile. Starting at 0 per cent means that there is no “cliff” on achievement of the 50th percentile and the level of reward is low until performance clearly exceeds the 50th percentile. The comparator group for the 2012 LTI grant is the companies, excluding financial services companies, in the ASX100 index as at the start of the performance period on 1 January 2012. Consideration was given in 2012 to using a smaller group of direct competitors for customers, however: 18 downer edI LImIted – this was considered not to represent all competitors for capital and executives; – limiting the comparator group to a small number of direct competitors could result in very volatile outcomes from period to period, which may have unintended behavioural consequences impacting risk; and – management’s strong focus on improving the Company’s ranking among ASX100 companies has become embedded in Company culture, so reinforcing this rather than trying to dislodge it with another focus is considered desirable. The absolute performance requirement applicable to the other tranche of shares is based on Earnings per Share (EPS) growth over the three year performance period to 31 December 2014. The EPS measure conforms to AASB 133 Earnings per Share and is externally audited. The tranche of shares dependent on the EPS performance condition vests pro rata between six per cent compound annual EPS growth and 12 per cent compound annual EPS growth. The graduated rate of vesting from meeting the minimum EPS growth performance requirement is more conservative than most companies that have an EPS growth performance requirement. Downer’s Directors believe that more graduated vesting provides better risk management because it reduces the tendency for excessive risk taking stemming from executives having very significant difference in reward outcomes either side of a performance “cliff”. It also means that the level of vesting is not significant until EPS growth clearly exceeds six per cent. Likewise, capping maximum reward outcomes at 12 per cent annual compound EPS growth reduces the tendency for excessive risk taking and volatility that may be encouraged if the annual compound EPS growth bar is set above 12 per cent. 5.4.3 POST-VESTING SHAREHOLDING GUIDELINE The Managing Director is required to continue holding shares after they have vested until the shareholding guideline has been attained. This guideline requires that the Managing Director holds vested performance shares equal in value to 100 per cent of his fixed remuneration. Whilst not a policy, application of the guideline minimum shareholding requirement has been restricted to the Managing Director in recognition that reorganisation of the Company has made it impractical for application to other executives. The Remuneration Committee has discretion to allow variations from this guideline requirement in exceptional circumstances. The guideline requirement has been developed to reinforce alignment with shareholder interests. 5.4.4 CHANGES FROM PRIOR PERIOD The 2012 LTI plan retains the same structure and measures as the 2011 LTI plan. It is noted that the Board has 100 per cent discretion in relation to grants for executives, up to the maximum of the LTI for each executive. DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 5.4.5 LTI TABULAR SUMMARY The following table outlines the major features of the 2012 LTI plan. Purpose of LTI plan – Focus performance on drivers of shareholder value over three year period; – Manage risk by countering any tendency to overemphasise short-term performance to the detriment of longer-term growth and sustainability; and – Ensure a part of remuneration costs varies with the Company’s longer-term performance. Maximum value of equity that can be granted – Managing Director: 100 per cent of fixed remuneration; – KMP appointed pre-2011: 75 per cent of fixed remuneration; and – KMP appointed from 2011: 50 per cent of fixed remuneration. Performance period Performance assessed 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2014. February 2015. Additional service period after performance period for shares to vest Shares for which the relevant performance vesting condition is satisfied will not vest unless executives remain employed with the Group on 31 December 2015. Shares vest Form of payment Performance conditions 1 January 2016. Restricted shares. There are two performance conditions. Each applies to half the shares granted to each executive. relative tsr The relative TSR performance condition is based on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the TSR of companies comprising the ASX100 index, excluding financial services companies, at the start of the performance period, measured over the three years to 31 December 2014. The performance vesting scale applicable to the shares subject to the relative TSR test are: downer edI Limited’s tsr ranking per cent shares subject to tsr condition that qualify for vesting 50th percentile or less Zero per cent Above 50th and below 75th percentile Pro rata so that 4 per cent of the restricted shares in the tranche vest for every one per cent increase between the 50th percentile and 75th percentile 75th percentile and above 100 per cent ePs growth The EPS growth performance condition is based on the Company’s compound annual EPS growth over the three years to 31 December 2014. The performance vesting scale applicable to the shares subject to the EPS growth test is: downer edI Limited’s ePs compound annual growth per cent shares subject to ePs condition that qualify for vesting <6 per cent Zero per cent 6 per cent to <12 per cent Pro rata so that 16.7 per cent of the restricted shares in the tranche vest for every one per cent increase in EPS growth between 6 per cent and 12 per cent 12 per cent or more 100 per cent annuaL rePort 2012 19 DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 How shares are acquired Shares are normally acquired on-market and placed in trust to: Treatment of dividends and voting rights on restricted shares Restriction on hedging Restriction on trading New recruits Terminating executives Change of control – minimise dilution; and – obtain a tax deduction aligned with the cash flow being incurred. For the 2012 LTI grant, there were sufficient forfeited shares in the scheme to cover the allocation to executives. Dividends are received by the trust. The trust either uses dividends to acquire additional shares or distributes to executives the dividends that accrued during the vesting period on shares that vest, when they vest. Hedging of entitlements under the plan is not permitted. Vested shares may only be released from the trust with the approval of the Remuneration Committee. Approval requires that trading comply with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. New executives (either new starts or promoted employees) are eligible to participate in the LTI on the first grant date applicable to all executives after they commence in their position, with an additional pro-rata entitlement if their employment commenced after the grant date in the prior calendar year. All shares in the 2012 LTI grant will be forfeited where an executive’s employment terminates prior to 31 December 2015 (unless, but for payment in lieu of notice, the executive would have remained in service until 31 December 2015). Providing at least 12 months of the grants’ performance period have elapsed, unvested shares pro rated with the elapsed service period are tested for vesting with performance against the relevant relative TSR or EPS growth requirements for that relevant period. Vesting will occur to the extent the performance conditions are met. Shares that have already been tested, have met performance requirements and are subject to the completion of the service condition fully vest. The Board retains the right to vary from policy in exceptional circumstances. However, any variation from policy and the reasons for it will be disclosed. There have been no variations from policy during this financial year. 6.

Mr Fenn’s contract will continue until terminated by either party under the terms of the employment agreement as summarised below. Mr Fenn’s remuneration comprises fixed and variable components. The initial fixed remuneration is $1.8 million per annum and this was unchanged during the 2012 financial year. This amount includes superannuation contributions and non-cash benefits and excludes Mr Fenn’s home telephone rental and call costs, home internet costs and medical health, life and salary continuance insurance. Mr Fenn may also be accompanied by his wife when travelling on business, at the Chairman’s discretion. There was no such travel during the year. It is reviewable annually in accordance with Downer’s policies. Mr Fenn is eligible to receive an annual STI and the maximum STI opportunity is 100 per cent of fixed remuneration. Any entitlement to an STI is at the discretion of the Board, having regard to performance measures and targets developed in consultation with Mr Fenn including Downer’s financial performance, safety, people, environmental and sustainability targets and adherence to risk management policies and practices. The Board also retains the right to vary the STI by + or – 100 per cent (up to the 100 per cent maximum) based on its assessment of performance. Mr Fenn’s performance requirements have been described in Section 5. There is no STI entitlement where the Managing Director’s employment terminates prior to the end of the financial year, other than in the event of a change of control or by mutual agreement. Mr Fenn was also eligible to receive key milestone incentives on a once-only basis in lieu of an LTI grant pro rated with service as Managing Director for calendar 2010. These milestones are over and above the STI operating and financial objectives, and are considered to be sufficiently critical to shareholder value to warrant special STI treatment on a one-off basis. These special milestone incentives included a grant of 200,000 shares which was made with a specific performance hurdle requiring the achievement of practical completion of the first six Waratah Train Sets by 30 September 2011. The service period prior to vesting is a further 2.25 years to 31 December 2013. The timing required under the performance hurdle was not met and the shares are forfeited. Mr Fenn is eligible to participate in the annual LTI plan and the value of the award is 100 per cent of fixed remuneration calculated using the volume weighted average price after each year’s half yearly results announcement. Mr Fenn’s performance requirements have been described in Section 5. In the event of a change of control, providing at least 12 months of a grant’s performance period have elapsed, unvested shares pro rated with the elapsed service period are tested for vesting with performance against the relevant hurdles for that period and vest, as appropriate. The specific milestone performance shares not yet tested will fully vest on a change of control. Shares that have already been tested, have met performance requirements and are subject to the completion of the service condition, fully vest. The Board retains the right to vary from policy in exceptional circumstances. Mr Fenn can resign: (a) by providing six months’ written notice; or (b) immediately in circumstances where there is a fundamental change in his role or responsibilities. In these circumstances, Mr Fenn is entitled to a payment in lieu of 12 months’ notice. Downer can terminate Mr Fenn’s employment: (a) immediately for misconduct or other circumstances justifying summary dismissal; or (b) by providing 12 months’ written notice. When notice is required, Downer can make a payment in lieu of notice of all or part of any notice period (calculated based on Mr Fenn’s fixed annual remuneration). If Mr Fenn resigns because ill health prevents him from continuing his duties, he will receive a payment in recognition of his past services equivalent to 12 months’ fixed remuneration. At the discretion of the Board, his shares under the LTI plan may also vest. If Downer terminates Mr Fenn’s employment on account of redundancy, in addition to the notice (or payment in lieu of notice) required to be given by Downer, Mr Fenn will receive a payment in recognition of his past services equivalent to 12 months’ fixed remuneration. If Mr Fenn resigns he will be subject to a six month post-employment restraint in certain areas that the Downer Group operates, where he is restricted from working for competing businesses. 28 downer edI LImIted DIRECTORS’ REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2012 The agreement contains provisions regarding leave entitlements, duties, confidentiality, intellectual property, moral rights and other facilitative and ancillary clauses. It also contains provisions regarding corporate governance and a provision dealing with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) limits on termination benefits to be made to Mr Fenn. 8. PRIOR EqUITy-BASED REmUNERATION PlANS Prior Downer equity-based remuneration plans in which executives retained an interest during the financial year are: – 2011 executive share plan; – 2010 executive share plan; – 2009 executive share plan; and – 2008 executive share plan.

After attaining share price hurdles, service conditions apply for shares to vest, with a third of shares that pass the hurdles to vest providing the executive remains in service to 31 December of 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively. Vesting schedule By 31 December, 2010 pro rated vesting between 0 per cent and 100 per cent for share prices from $10 to $12.50. By 31 December 2011 pro rated vesting 0 per cent to 100 per cent for a share price hurdle between $6 and $13. The latter re-test hurdle was added at the Board’s discretion due to the unforeseen impact of the global financial crisis on the overall share market. Performance requirements Re-test There is no re-test for awards that vest on satisfaction of an EBIT or operating cash flow target. At the discretion of the Board, tranches of awards subject to a share price hurdle that do not meet the hurdle may be re-tested under the conditions of the following tranche. If the performance hurdle is met at the re-test, the relevant proportion of the tranche will vest. Two tranches of restricted shares were granted under the plan. The performance conditions for those pools are: Tranche One: 50 per cent vests on achievement of an EBIT target and 50 per cent vests on achievement of an operating cash flow target for the year ended 30 June 2008. Tranche Two: A share price hurdle as at 31 December in the relevant year. The share price is calculated as the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) leading up to 31 December for each cycle.

The Financial Report is a general purpose Financial Report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (A-IFRS). Compliance with A-IFRS ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of the consolidated entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Financial Report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 13 August 2012. roundInG of amounts Downer is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order, amounts in the Directors’ Report and the Financial Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. BasIs of PreParatIon The Financial Report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The preparation of the Financial Report requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described below. aPPLIcatIon of crItIcaL JudGements and Key sources of estImatIon uncertaInty The following are critical judgements that Management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue and expense are recognised in net profit by reference to the stage of completion of each identifiable component for construction contracts. 40 downer edI LImIted A fundamental condition for being able to estimate profit recognition based on percentage of completion is that project revenues and project costs can be reliably estimated. This reliability is based on such factors as compliance with the Group’s system for project control and that project management is performed with the necessary skills. Project control also includes a number of estimates and assessments that depend on the experience and knowledge of project management, industrial relations, risk management, training and the prior management of similar projects. In determining revenues and expenses for construction contracts, Management makes key assumptions regarding estimated revenues and expenses over the life of the contracts. Where contract variations are recognised in revenue, assumptions are made regarding the probability that customers will approve those contract variations and the amount of revenue arising from contract variations. In respect of costs, key assumptions regarding costs to complete contracts may include estimation of labour, technical costs, impact of delays and productivity. Changes in these estimation methods could have a material impact on the financial statements of Downer. CAPITALISATION OF TENDER/BID COSTS Tender/bid costs are expensed until the Group has reached preferred bidder status and there is a reasonable expectation that the cost will be recovered. At this stage costs are capitalised. Tender/bid costs are then expensed over the life of the contract. Where a tender/bid is subsequently unsuccessful the previously capitalised costs are immediately expensed. Tender/bid costs that have been expensed cannot be recapitalised in a subsequent financial year. Judgement is exercised by Management in determining whether it is probable that the contract will be awarded. An error in judgement may result in capitalised tender/bid costs being recognised in the income statement in the following financial year. KEY CONTRACTS AND SUPPLIERS A number of contracts that Downer enters into are long-term contracts with recurring revenues but are terminable on short notice for convenience. There is a risk that such key contracts may not be renewed, may be renewed on less favourable terms or may be cancelled. Similarly, where Downer is reliant on one or a small set of key suppliers to provide goods and services, the performance of these suppliers may impact Downer’s ability to complete projects and earn profits. In addition, there are particular suppliers with whom Downer has a long-term relationship that support Downer’s business activities. A change in relationship with these suppliers could negatively impact Downer’s future financial performance. Downer also has a large capital equipment fleet, which is subject to availability of major spares such as tyres for mining equipment. New contracts often require the acquisition of new equipment and the timing of purchases is dependent upon availability from suppliers in an international market. Management judgement is therefore required to estimate the impact of the loss of key contracts and suppliers on future earnings, supporting existing goodwill and intangible assets. NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED WARATAH TRAIN PROJECT A total provision of $440.0 million has previously been provided against the Waratah Train Project (WTP) based on an estimate to complete the contract. The provision was based on program design, manufacture, production and delivery schedules (the program) to complete the contract within the estimated provision. The WTP team has continued to implement changes to the program over the past 12 months, which are summarised below. Importantly, as part of its planning for the delivery of trains, the WTP team continues to be required to estimate future events and make a number of assumptions in relation to the revised program. The provision currently reflects the revised program (Master Program Schedule (MPS) 11) that provides for the production of trains in five distinct phases. 1. Trains 1 and 2 (in order of delivery from Changchun Railway Vehicles Company (CRC or China)) were delivered early in the project, without their full interiors and have been used as test trains. Train 1 has been returned to CRC to be retrofitted to the required standard and will be available for Practical Completion (PC) in late 2013. Train 2 completes its test train activities during August 2012 and will be returned to CRC before the end of 2012 for retrofit in similar timescales; Cardiff for the first time in the project leading to reduced costs of manufacture. Also additional workforce has been applied to the workshops in CRC to deliver output of three trains per month from June 2012; and 5. Trains 41 to 78 are scheduled to be built with further process and design improvements for simpler assembly and higher quality of the passenger areas being progressively implemented at Trains 41 and 51. Further acceleration of the flow-lines in Cardiff to a three day TAKT time is being planned from Train 41 (in February 2013). The program (MPS11) is targeting the following delivery milestones, which remain broadly within the parameters outlined in February 2011: – Since 30 June 2011, 12 trains have been presented to RailCorp, received PC and are currently available for passenger service; – The current delivery schedule provides for a further 11 trains (a total of 23 trains) by Christmas 2012; and – The program initiatives still enable Train 78 to be delivered to RailCorp and enter passenger service before the end of FY2014. Key assumptions underpinning the manufacturing program include: – The successful acceleration to a three day cycle time from 2. Trains 3 to 9 were part of a focused production plan for Train 41 in February 2013 in Cardiff; the initial trains that required significant additional work on the interior fit-out and related areas due to design related production issues, inadequate methods and processes in assembly. These trains were manufactured and delivered to the customer by December 2011 (consistent with the MPS10 schedule developed in June 2011); 3. Trains 10 to 14 were made to an initial configuration standard using new methods and processes to assist efficient production of the bodyshell and interior fit-out. These trains have been built with an improved level of quality compared to the initial trains, however still require some rework. Trains 10 and 11 were completed prior to the launch of new flow-line processes in Cardiff in February 2012 and delivered to the customer during April and May 2012 and subsequently achieved PC. Three train sets are currently within the production facility at Cardiff but being worked on a separate flow-line due to the higher levels of rework than following trains. The program schedule has been adjusted so that this work can be carried out at Cardiff efficiently without causing delay to the following trains; 4. Trains 15 to 40 are being built using a flow-line process that has been implemented in the interior fit-out shop in CRC. Continuing process and design improvements introduced progressively at Trains 15 and 24 have resulted in trains of a higher quality, with significantly reduced rework and with design changes as a result of testing and development included in the base build. These trains are then being completed at Cardiff on the new flow-lines that have been in place since February 2012. This has been operating at a four day TAKT time (the time which passes before each occasion that the flow-line is pulsed) since late May 2012 meaning that eight cars come out of production every eight business days. Train 24 has seen rework reduced to below that originally budgeted for in – The program will recover the six weeks lag to schedule resulting from resource shortages in the early stages of flow-line implementation in Cardiff; – Continued refinement of Lean Manufacturing initiatives in China (jointly with CRC) and Cardiff will continue to improve the quality and production rates evidenced by three trains being manufactured in each of June and July 2012 in CRC; – Improved quality from CRC is maintained, which has already resulted in more efficient production rates and reduced labour hours at Cardiff; – The continuing progressive implementation of process and component re-designs to achieve the estimated production rates required quality levels in the bodyshell and interior fit-out shops in China (VE programs); – CRC continues to deploy the requisite number of resources to the interior fit-out shop in Changchun with the appropriate skill and experience to achieve the required productivity and quality in trains (significant resource increases were seen during May 2012 and these have remained allowing the increased outputs to be met in June and July 2012); – All parties continue to honour their contractual obligations; – That RailCorp and Reliance Rail continue to adopt a reasonable industry approach to the acceptance of trains for passenger service through the manufacture phase of the WTP (including supporting documentation) and the required track access will be made available to allow the project to achieve reliability and growth targets; annuaL rePort 2012 41 NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED WARATAH TRAIN PROJECT – CONTINUED – That the majority of monies held in the Manufacturing Delay Account (MDA) are paid to Downer upon achievement of contracted milestones, and that interest that accrues on the MDA is to be paid when Train 78 is delivered to Reliance Rail, together with the balance of the MDA ($12.5 million) that will be retained in the MDA to meet Downer’s contingency funding obligation until 2018 as part of the Reliance Rail restructure. MDA interest receivable in the Forecast Cost At Completion (FCAC) assumes that the funds are invested at arm’s length interest rates available for deposits of this term, size and nature from September 2012 with an APRA regulated financial institution; and – An accelerated delivery cadence continues to be accepted by RailCorp. The FCAC includes a general contingency of ~ $64 million and provides for liquidated damages (LDs) in line with the revised delivery program with no specific contingency for LDs.

The materials forecast reflects the following assumptions: – Current yield and scrap rates based upon experience contained within the existing bill of material (BOM) and based upon the initial history of the build through 26 completed trains from CRC. For example, the BOM assumes a 20 per cent loss on stainless steel while cutting, due to scrappage; – Estimated costs of materials obsolescence based upon known engineering changes and other design changes and design faults; – No specific allowance has been made for variation to these yield assumptions, obsolete parts or materials associated with future engineering changes or potential improvements to the yield associated with value engineering proposed to be undertaken; and – It is assumed that any materials obsolescence associated with value engineering (or investments in supplier tooling) will be offset by additional savings in manufacturing cost reductions from Cardiff. The WTP team has implemented a number of specific business control programs during the year to address key risks across a number of the major materials categories. These programs are largely designed to address risks with Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) (and associated rework programs), stainless steel and flooring. The impact of these areas remains a work in progress and represent some additional risk to the total materials cost, although these cost risks are considered to be adequately offset by opportunities for reduction in the cost of Jointly Procured Materials (JPM) items managed with CRC. The FCAC assumes that all current suppliers remain solvent over the remaining build contract duration and that there are no latent defects or quality issues in any parts or designs provided. Should any latent defects manifest through the build or testing phase, it is assumed that they will be rectified at the supplier’s cost with no significant delays to the manufacturing schedule. Where the WTP team has identified suppliers with inherent risks in quality, secondary sourcing strategies to address the supply chain and cost risks have been implemented. These costs have been included as risks and opportunities within the materials management plan of the FCAC. The FCAC has allowed for the additional storage costs associated with the revised delivery program where suppliers could not be contractually slowed down (without significant penalties) to match the revised manufacturing schedule. This is reflected within the logistics provision. 42 downer edI LImIted NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED MATERIALS AND SUB-CONTRACTED COMPONENT – CONTINUED While Downer currently has a potential right of recovery of LDs from materials suppliers, the FCAC does not assume recovery of these amounts at this stage. Similarly, the FCAC does not assume any potential increases in materials costs associated with suppliers in the future attempting to claim LDs from Downer due to the manufacturing delays. LABOUR Labour includes manpower costs sub-contracted with CRC in China and those incurred directly by Downer at Cardiff. CRC has committed to maintain the increased labour undertaking within the interior fit-out shop to allow them to meet the agreed cadence and delivery dates and will continue to satisfy their obligations. The FCAC includes a Cardiff labour allowance for the significant rework of Trains 1 to 23 at Cardiff and minor levels of rework thereafter to Train 78. In making the estimates for rework, the experience of the trains built to date has been taken into consideration, as well as a clearly defined process of signing-off rework requirements before trains depart Changchun for Australia. In addition, the expected productivity benefits derived from an assumed learning curve (derived from the learning curve experienced on past passenger train builds) have been applied. Similar learning curve assumptions have been factored into the labour productivity assumptions for the original Cardiff scope of work. The FCAC assumes that suitably skilled tradespeople are available to perform this transferred scope of work and that they will be paid ordinary rates pursuant to the Enterprise Bargaining Agreements that are in force. No provision has been made in the FCAC for the potential future redundancy costs associated with making Cardiff staff redundant at the completion of this project on the assumption that all staff will be redeployed. Labour cost forecasts have increased by $22.0 million since December 2011 to reflect additional costs associated with the implementation and embedding of the new four stage, four stations flow-line, increased utilisation of the Cardiff facility to meet the revised MPS11 delivery schedule, and the removal of previously identified manpower stretch targets. A “controlled build” was carried out on Train 17 whereby every task was timed precisely to allow cost estimates for the remainder of the build to be estimated more accurately. This has also identified efficiencies in the flow-line process to prevent further cost increases and has allowed a more cost- effective build to be implemented from Train 24 onwards. The labour cost for the remainder of the build is therefore now seen to be more accurate based on actual consideration of work as opposed to estimates. ENGINEERING SERVICES This category includes the cost of the initial train design, testing and commissioning throughout the program and the proposed manufacturability assessment and redesign to improve vehicle components and assembly. The FCAC assumes that the Engineering resource reduces during the program as the trains reach a steady state of production and delivery. The FCAC does not provide for any significant delays in the program due to failures in service that require substantial engineering redesign. In addition to these labour costs, the Engineering Services FCAC includes a $7.5 million provision for an estimated weight penalty. TRANSPORT, LOGISTICS AND PROCUREMENT This includes transport, warehousing, demurrage, logistics and procurement management and import and customs duty. The FCAC provides for the transport of all trains from China to Australia with allowances for single or double shipments where expected. All trains and warehoused materials are insured for direct loss. The FCAC provides for the customs duty expected to be incurred on importation of dutiable materials into Australia at a rate of five per cent. Since December 2011, the FCAC cost has been increased by $2.0 million and includes the cost of returning Trains 1 and 2 to CRC for fit-out and return to Australia. PROJECT MANAGEMENT Project Management includes all support activities to complete the program, including allowance for a senior management team with the requisite high-volume, assembly- line build and project management expertise, as well as a team of experts to support the revised production approach in China. The FCAC provides for all the travel, housing and expatriate benefits related to this team. The FCAC assumes that the project management resource tapers off during the program as trains reach a steady state of production and delivery. The FCAC has provided for the expected future cost of international travel to China, consultants, external accounting services and legal costs associated with the normal operation of the program. These costs have been determined by reference to historical experience, stage of the project and have been indexed for expected inflation. Since December 2011, the FCAC cost has been increased by $1.0 million to reflect additional senior resources to support production in China and the flow-line at Cardiff. INSURANCE, BONDING AND FINANCE This includes the actual costs incurred to insure property, liability and people for the full duration of the program. This insurance cost was fully contracted at inception of the program and costs associated with the extension of the Rolling Stock Manufacture (RSM) phase insurance resulted in a $1.0 million reduction in cost. The cost of bonding reflected in the FCAC assumes a market rate being applied to the outstanding bond value through to completion of the project and that existing committed bonding facilities will be rolled on substantially similar terms to those in place at 30 June 2012. Financing costs also include the cost of hedging the foreign exchange risk associated with foreign denominated costs included within the FCAC. annuaL rePort 2012 43 NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED INSURANCE, BONDING AND FINANCE– CONTINUED GENERAL CONTINGENCY In February 2012 a series of foreign currency hedges were put in place which substantially covered the risk relating to USD, Euro, CNY and KRW. The foreign currency equivalent of $54.5 million remained unhedged at 30 June 2012. Since December 2011, the FCAC cost has been decreased by $4.0 million reflecting close management of these financial costs. FORECAST LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (LDs) Forecast LDs are based on a formula that broadly approximates to $200,000 per train per month the train is not in service. While 78 trains are being manufactured under the project, only 72 trains are required to be in passenger service, so LDs are only payable against 72 trains. The ‘initial recovery phase’ program had an adverse impact on the program schedule in the second half of FY2012. However, the current program takes this into account, as well as the increased production rate by CRC and the new processes implemented at Cardiff. The delay extends partially through the year with a corresponding increase in LDs of $5.0 million since December 2011. The projected LDs of $175.0 million represent an approximate delay of 13 months for every train to be delivered, which is consistent with the entry into passenger service of the first train in June 2011, compared to the original contract delivery date of April 2010 (after allowing for the three month grace period). Forecast LDs assume a relaxation of the delivery cadence between trains which has been progressively demonstrated over the acceptance process between the third and fourth trains and again between the fifth and sixth trains. There is now an understanding with RailCorp and the Transport for NSW that supports the intent to accelerate the rate at which trains are accepted into service and discussions will continue on this going forward. The FCAC no longer includes a specific contingency for additional LDs. Any program slippage against MPS11 beyond June 2014 will be required to be funded from the general contingency. MANUFACTURING DELAY ACCOUNT (MDA) The MDA reflects the contractual arrangement between Downer, the RSM and Reliance Rail under which milestone payments are paid to Downer in accordance with the actual delivery schedule achieved. To the extent that monies are not paid to Downer due to late delivery and/or missed performance milestones, monies are held by Reliance Rail in the MDA. Monies held in the MDA are paid to Downer upon achievement of contract milestones. Interest, which accrues on the MDA, is to be paid to Downer when Train 78 is delivered to Reliance Rail, together with the balance of the MDA. MDA interest receivable has been shown as a cost offset in the FCAC. This estimate assumes that the funds are invested at arm’s length interest rates available for deposits of this term, size and nature. At 31 December 2011, the FCAC position was restated to anticipate MDA interest based upon a combination of actual deposit rates of 4.5 per cent achieved by Reliance Rail and anticipated longer term deposits for cash balances in excess of six monthly cash requirements of the project at 5.2 per cent from 1 April 2012. At June 2012, the impact of the delays implementing an appropriate investment strategy and the effect of reduced interest rates has had a negative impact on the FCAC position by $3.0 million. 44 downer edI LImIted A general contingency of $64.0 million is included in the FCAC to cover unforeseen events or cost variations that may arise over the life of the program. The remaining contingency has been positively impacted by the recognition of the settlement and recovery of contract variation claims and disputes with Reliance Rail and RailCorp included within revenue on the FCAC. The FCAC discussed above does not rely on any recovery from claims submitted or other commercial actions which may be available to Downer from suppliers. Sensitivity analysis indicates that if the project experiences incremental delays beyond September 2014 and the cost of that could not be abated, further provision would be required. No specific allowance has been made for potential future legal claims against Downer in relation to this project. RELIANCE RAIL Reliance Rail Pty Ltd (Reliance Rail) is an unlisted, special purpose vehicle established to execute the New South Wales (NSW) Public Private Partnership (PPP) Waratah Train Project (WTP) Contract. Under the Project Contract with RailCorp, Reliance Rail is to: – Design and build 78 eight-car double-deck trains, which it has subcontracted under a Rolling Stock Manufacturing contract to the RSM JV (see below) (RSM Contract); – Construct a maintenance facility at Auburn NSW (the Maintenance Facility Contract), for the purpose of maintaining the trains over their effective life, which it has subcontracted to Downer; and – Maintain the 78 trains and make available 72 of these trains to RailCorp for 30 years under the Project Contract, which maintenance obligations Reliance Rail has subcontracted to Downer under a Through Life Support (TLS Contract). The RSM contract has been subcontracted to an unincorporated joint venture between Downer EDI Rail Pty Ltd and Hitachi Limited (RSM Joint Venture). The total funding raised by Reliance Rail to deliver the WTP is approximately $2.4 billion. The majority of this funding ($1.9 billion) was raised via senior and junior ranking bonds in December 2006, plus equity contributions of $137.0 million. The bonds are guaranteed by two specialist financial guarantors, FGIC (UK) Ltd and Syncora Guarantee Inc (monoline insurers). These funds were placed on deposit and are being progressively released to meet ongoing project costs and expenses as milestones under the contracts are achieved. The balance of the funding is a $357.0 million senior, secured committed bank debt facility (Bank Facility), which was raised in December 2006, with scheduled drawdowns over 18 months which commenced in February 2012. Since February 2012 (until September 2013), Reliance Rail has lodged six drawdown notices and the banks have funded $173.9 million of the Bank Facility. Access to the balance of the Bank Facility remains subject to Reliance Rail’s directors continuing to lodge drawdown notices over the next 12 months and the banks providing funding in line with their commitments. NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED RELIANCE RAIL – CONTINUED The Bank Facility may be cancelled under certain circumstances. The facility contains a termination provision that the insolvency of both monoline insurers would give the banks a right to terminate any undrawn commitments. Since 2009, the monoline insurers have been adversely affected by the global financial crisis (GFC) and the financial position of both monoline insurers remains uncertain, although they are still operating. If both monoline insurers are in default at the same time, or become insolvent, the undrawn component of the Bank Facility could be cancelled by the banking syndicate. Reliance Rail’s funding arrangements are on a non-recourse basis to Downer and except as set out in Note 15. Downer is not obliged to provide further equity to Reliance Rail. On 6 February 2012, the New South Wales Government announced it had agreed to invest $175.0 million in 2018 in Reliance Rail in return for 100 per cent of the equity, subject to certain conditions precedent being achieved. The restructure was implemented to provide greater certainty that Reliance Rail would be able to refinance its various facilities in 2018 and for the repayment of the Bank Facility; factors which the Directors of Reliance Rail are required to take into consideration when resolving to lodge Bank Facility drawdown notices. As a result of the restructure of Reliance Rail, Downer has transferred the equity accounted Reliance Rail hedge reserve of $72.5 million via the income statement to retained earnings. This transfer, which is an Individually Significant Item (refer Note 4), has had no impact on cash, equity, net assets or underlying earnings but has negatively impacted full year statutory earnings. To further enhance the refinancing of Reliance Rail in 2018, further discussions involving Reliance Rail’s financiers are taking place and if successful would likely remove the termination right in the event of the insolvency of the monoline insurers. It is the current view of Downer that Reliance Rail will continue as the operating entity of the WTP contract. Management has considered the case that the WTP is terminated and has estimated, based on commercial judgement, including sub-contractors, suppliers and Reliance Rail, the financial consequences for Downer as: – A pre-tax accounting loss of between $450 and $500 million; and – A negative cash impact of between $300 and $320 million, which would be payable over several years as sub-contractor and supplier claims are resolved. In assessing the potential financial consequences of the WTP being terminated, significant judgement and estimation has been necessary, particularly in relation to commitments that have been made by sub-contractors and suppliers to Downer under orders placed with them, and the extent to which they are able to mitigate their potential losses. The key underlying assumptions used by Management in relation to this analysis are: – The RSM Contract is terminated and no further delivery of trains is required by RailCorp; – The RSM ceases to manufacture trains and ceases testing and commissioning activities; – Approximately 40 per cent of all currently committed purchase orders could be mitigated by suppliers; – All current Work In Progress (WIP) and future payments to suppliers (approximately 60 per cent of current committed purchase orders) will be written off assuming no recoveries; – No provision has been made for redundancy costs on the assumption that all permanent staff will be redeployed; – All foreign exchange contracts are closed out at current market rates; – All performance bonds issued to Reliance Rail are returned to Downer; – No additional contract “break costs” are incurred as key suppliers are assumed to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their losses; and – Other project termination costs are in accordance with normal business practices. The estimated profit and cash flow impacts on Downer of a termination of the WTP are such that Downer would likely breach a number of its debt financial covenants which, as is common in banking agreements, could result in Downer’s debt facilities becoming repayable on demand. In this circumstance, Downer would be required to engage with its key financiers to obtain a covenant breach waiver, which, if forthcoming, would likely be conditional upon Downer undertaking a number of capital management initiatives, including asset sales, business divestments or an equity capital raising. In the event of the WTP being terminated and if the Group’s financiers were to require the Group’s debt facilities to be immediately repaid or substantially reduced, then, in the opinion of the Directors, significant uncertainty would exist regarding the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and pay its debts as and when they become due. The financial report has been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the above, no adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS The Group determines whether goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are allocated. The Group uses the higher of fair value less costs to sell, and value in use to determine recoverable amount. An impairment loss of $18.0 million (2011: $16.6 million) was recognised in the current year in respect of goodwill related to the Downer Asia ($9.3 million) and CPG Australia ($8.7 million) following an assessment of the future performance of those businesses. Key assumptions requiring Management’s judgement include projected cash flows, growth rate estimates, discount rates, gross margin, working capital and capital expenditure. annuaL rePort 2012 45 NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED ANNUAL LEAVE AND LONG SERVICE LEAVE The provision is calculated using expected future increases in wages and salary rates including on-costs and expected settlement dates based on staff turnover history and is discounted using the rates attaching to Australian State Government bonds at balance date that most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. RECOVERY OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences, as Management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. INCOME TAXES The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. Judgement is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on Management’s estimate of future cash flows. Changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK AND REGULATION Downer and the industries in which it operates are subject to a broad range of environmental laws, regulations and standards (including certain licensing requirements). This could expose Downer to legal liabilities or place limitations on the development of its operations. In addition there is a risk that property utilised by Downer from time to time may be contaminated by materials harmful to human health (such as asbestos and other hazardous materials). In these situations Downer may be required to undertake remedial works on contaminated sites and may be exposed to third party compensation claims and other environmental liabilities. Management judgement is therefore required to estimate the impact of such factors on future earnings supporting existing goodwill and intangible assets. CARBON TAX The Clean Energy Act 2001 containing a Carbon price mechanism commenced operations in July 2012: – A fixed price of $23/tCO2e as of the start of the scheme on 1 July 2012, increasing to $24.15/tCO2e and $25.40/tCO2e for 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively; – From 1 July 2015, the scheme will transition to a cap and trade emissions trading scheme with the carbon price to be determined by the market; – Organisations with operational control over facilities that generate greater than 25 ktCO2e will be required to purchase permits to cover emissions from these “threshold” facilities; and – The scheme covers emissions generated from stationary energy, industrial processes, fugitive emissions (other than from decommissioned coal mines), emissions from non-legacy waste, transport fuels used only for domestic aviation, domestic shipping, rail transport and off-road transport of liquid and gaseous fuels. 46 downer edI LImIted Potential impacts from the carbon pricing mechanism on the Group will include operating costs both direct and indirect from increased commodity costs (for example, electricity and natural gas). The level of increase is still uncertain, but some initial modelling suggests that increases in electricity and gas costs are unlikely to be material. Management is currently assessing the potential financial impact of the pass-through costs from the impost of a price on carbon from suppliers and third parties within the Group supply chain. As part of this assessment contractual agreements have been and will continue to be reviewed to determine the extent of this pass-through and consideration has been given to the treatment of the carbon price in new agreements negotiated in the future. sIGnIfIcant accountInG PoLIcIes Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner that ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported. The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied in preparing the Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2012, as well as the comparative information presented in these financial statements. PrIncIPLes of consoLIdatIon The Financial Report is prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the consolidated entity, being the Company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements. On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired. The Financial Report includes the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control and until such time as the Company ceases to control such entity. In preparing the Financial Report, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the consolidated entity, are eliminated in full. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and the statement of financial position respectively. The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interest as transactions with parties external to the Group. Disposals to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income. NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED revenue recoGnItIon Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of trade allowances, duties and taxes paid. Revenue is recognised and measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised: RENDERING OF SERVICES Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. This is normally determined as services performed up to and including the balance sheet date as a proportion of the total to be performed. Revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered and direct expenses are incurred. Services rendered include international mine consulting and contracting services, maintenance and construction of roads, highways and rail infrastructure, infrastructure maintenance services, engineering and consultancy services and facilities management. Services contracts are reported in trade receivables and trade payables, as gross amounts due from/to customers. If cumulative work done to date (contract costs plus contract net profit) of contracts in progress exceeds progress payments received, the difference is recognised as an asset and included in amounts due from customers for contract work. If the net amount after deduction of progress payments received is negative, the difference is recognised as a liability and included in amounts due to customers for contract work. MINING SERVICES CONTRACTS Revenue from a contract to provide mining services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined by reference to the services performed up to and including the balance sheet date as a proportion of the total service to be performed. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (i) Construction contracts Construction contracts are contracts specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset or combination of assets. Revenues and expenses from construction contracts are recognised in net profit by reference to the stage of completion of the contract as at the reporting date. The stage of completion is determined by reference to physical estimates, surveys of the work performed or a cost incurred, and is usually measured as the ratio of contract costs incurred for work performed to date against total contract costs. Any expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. Contract revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. In the early stages of a contract, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable. That is, no margin is recognised until the outcome of the contract can be reliably estimated. Profit recognition for lump sum fixed price contracts does not commence until cost to complete can be reliably measured. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses and reflect adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion in the income statement in the period when those estimates are revised. Where considered material, provisions are made for all known or anticipated losses. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in a material adjustment to operating results for any financial period. Claims are included for extra work or changes in scope of work to the extent of costs incurred in contract revenues when collection is probable. Where claims on customers result in a dispute and the amount in dispute is significant, and it is expected that the matters in dispute will not be resolved within 12 months from the Company’s reporting date; the provision will be based on the Company’s assessment of the risk associated with construction contracts at the reporting date. Construction contracts are reported in trade receivables and trade payables, as gross amounts due from/to customers. If cumulative work done to date (contract costs plus contract net profit) of contracts in progress exceeds progress payments received, the difference is recognised as an asset and included in amounts due from customers for contract work. If the net amount after deduction of progress payments received is negative, the difference is recognised as a liability and included in amounts due to customers for contract work. (ii) Construction contract – WTP Revenue and expenses from the Public Private Partnership construction contract are recognised in net profit by reference to the stage of completion of each separately identifiable component of the contract for the design and manufacture of rolling stock and construction of a maintenance facility, to the extent of costs incurred plus margin. Margin is recognised based on the relative risk assessment of each component and costs incurred to achieve operational milestones. Any expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. The rolling stock manufacturing contract comprises detailed engineering design, prototype development and full scale manufacture. These identifiable separate components have been determined based on: – each component being subject to separate customer acceptance procedures; and – the costs and revenues of each component having been identified. SALE OF GOODS Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. OTHER REVENUE Other revenue is recognised and measured at fair value of the consideration received or, for revenue that is receivable, to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and it can be reliably measured. (i) Royalties Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement. annuaL rePort 2012 47 NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED OTHER REVENUE – CONTINUED (ii) Dividend and interest revenue Dividend revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset. (iii) Fee-based revenue Fee-based revenue generated by Corporate office is recognised on an accrual basis as derived. Income tax CURRENT TAX Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). (iv) Gain or Loss on Non-current Asset Disposal The gain or loss on disposal of non-current assets is included as other income or expense at the date control passes to the buyer, usually when an unconditional contract of sale is signed. The gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal. DEFERRED TAX Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. fInance and BorrowInG costs Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, impairment losses recognised on financial assets, losses on ineffective hedging instruments that are recognised in profit and loss and finance lease charges. Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs, including the cost to establish financing facilities, are expensed over the term of the facility. Goods and servIces tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) except: – where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authorities, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or – for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authorities, is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities that is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authorities, is classified as operating cash flows. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except when the consolidated entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the consolidated entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the company/consolidated entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 48 downer edI LImIted NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX FOR THE YEAR INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or when it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or the excess. TAX CONSOLIDATION Downer EDI Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Downer EDI Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Downer EDI Limited and each of the entities in the tax- consolidated group have agreed to pay (or receive) a tax equivalent payment to (or from) the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. cash and cash equIvaLents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in money market instruments, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. Investments in entities over which the consolidated entity has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using equity-accounting principles and are carried at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity’s share of net assets of associates, less any impairment in value. Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest in an associate are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate subsequently reports profits, the consolidated entity resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS Available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value less impairment. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in the available-for-sale revaluation reserve, until the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the available-for-sale revaluation reserve is included in the profit or loss for the year. LOANS AND RECEIVABLES Loans and other receivables are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. receIvaBLes FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT AND LOSS INVESTMENTS Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are normally due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. Fair value through profit and loss investments are valued at fair value at each reporting date based on the current bid price. Movements in fair value are taken to the income statement. Prepayments represent the future economic benefits receivable in respect of economic sacrifices made in the current or prior reporting period. InventorIes Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventories on hand by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventories, with the majority being valued on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. fInancIaL assets Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the time frame established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. non-current assets heLd for saLe Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale of the asset (or disposal group) is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. JoInt ventures JOINTLY CONTROLLED ASSETS AND OPERATIONS Interests in jointly controlled assets and operations are reported in the financial statements by including the consolidated entity’s share of assets employed in the joint ventures, the share of liabilities incurred in relation to the joint ventures and the share of any expenses incurred in relation to the joint ventures in their respective classification categories. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the parent entity financial statements. JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITIES Interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. annuaL rePort 2012 49 NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED ProPerty, PLant and equIPment OPERATING LEASES Land is measured at cost. Buildings, plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and equipment under finance lease are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition and installation of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition. The cost of self-constructed and acquired assets includes the initial estimate, at the time of installation, of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, where material, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, including freehold buildings, but excluding land. Depreciation is calculated on a basis to recognise the net cost of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The basis of depreciation is determined after assessing the nature of the productive capacity of the asset and may include straight line, diminishing value and units of production (including hours of use) methodologies. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. The expected useful lives of property, plant and equipment are generally: – Buildings – Plant and equipment – Equipment under finance lease 20 – 30 years 3 – 25 years 5 – 15 years The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties is amortised over the shorter of the unexpired period of the lease, the expected period of lease renewal or the estimated useful life of the improvements to the consolidated entity. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. IntanGIBLe assets GOODWILL Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired, is recognised as an asset and not amortised. All potential intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill where they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair value can be measured reliably. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Purchased patents, trademarks and licences are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives having considered contractual terms, which are not greater than 40 years. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. SOFTWARE Software acquired by the Group is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Internally developed software is capitalised once the project is assessed to be feasible. Costs incurred in determining project feasibility are expensed as incurred. The costs capitalised include consulting, licensing and direct labour costs. AMORTISATION Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the useful lives of intangible assets, unless such life is indefinite. Software and other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are generally: Leases – Software 5 – 6 years; Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. FINANCE LEASES Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income. Finance leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of each asset or the lease term. – Intangible assets (other than indefinite useful life intangible assets) 20 years; and – Goodwill has indefinite useful life. ImPaIrment of assets Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 50 downer edI LImIted NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED PayaBLes EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of host contracts. This only occurs when the host contracts are not measured at fair value through profit and loss. BorrowInGs Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method. derIvatIve fInancIaL Instruments The consolidated entity enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk, including forward foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. The consolidated entity designates certain derivatives as either hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities, or firm commitments (fair value hedges) or hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges). Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity is recognised immediately in the income statement. FAIR VALUE HEDGES Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk. CASH FLOW HEDGES The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the profit or loss. Amounts deferred in equity are included in the profit or loss in the same periods the hedged item is recognised in the profit or loss. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability. emPLoyee BenefIts Liabilities are incurred for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, redundancy and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities incurred in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities incurred in respect of employee benefits that are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be paid by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred. BONUS PLANS A liability for employee benefits in the form of bonus plans is recognised in current provisions when there is no realistic alternative but to settle the liability and at least one of the following conditions is met: – there are formal terms in the plan for determining the amount of the benefit; – the amounts to be paid are determined before the time of completion of the financial report; and – past practice gives clear evidence of the amount of the obligation. Liabilities for bonus plans are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled. ProvIsIons Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. DECOMMISSIONING AND RESTORATION Provision is made for close down, restoration and environmental rehabilitation costs (which include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas) in the accounting period when the related environmental disturbance occurs, based on estimated future costs. The provision is discounted using a current market based pre-tax discount rate. The provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle rectification obligations at the reporting date, based on current legal requirements and technology. Future rectification costs are reviewed annually and any changes are reflected in the present value of the rectification provision at the end of the reporting period. annuaL rePort 2012 51 NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED WARRANTY Provision is made for the estimated liability on products under warranty at balance date. This provision is estimated having regard to service warranty experience. Other warranty costs are accrued as and when the liability arises. ONEROUS CONTRACT A provision for an onerous contract is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived from a contract are less than the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under that contract, and only after impairment losses to assets dedicated to that contract have been recognised. The provision recognised is based on the excess of the estimated cash flows to meet the unavoidable costs under the contract over the estimated cash flows to be received in relation to the contract, having regard to the risks of the activities relating to the contract. The net estimated cash flows are discounted using market yields at balance date of national government guaranteed bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the expected future payment where the effect of discounting is material. foreIGn currency FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are brought to account using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at reporting date exchange rates are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges. FOREIGN OPERATIONS On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the consolidated entity’s overseas operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in the income statement on disposal of the foreign operation. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity on or after the date of transition to A-IFRS are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. fInancIaL Instruments DEBT AND EQUITY INSTRUMENTS Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. TRANSACTION COSTS ON THE ISSUE OF EQUITY INSTRUMENTS Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued. INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the statement of financial position classification of the related debt or equity instruments. dIvIdends Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, before or at the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date. share-Based transactIons Equity-settled share-based transactions are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The Group makes share-based awards to certain employees. The fair value is determined at the date of grant, taking into account any market related performance conditions. For equity-settled awards, the fair value is charged to the income statement and credited to equity. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate of the term of the option. The fair value of any options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (e.g. profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest having regard to historical forfeitures. The employee benefits expense recognised in each year takes into account the most recent estimate. 52 downer edI LImIted NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 1. SUmmARy OF ACCOUNTINg POlICIES – CONTINUED share caPItaL ORDINARY SHARES Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributed to the issue of ordinary shares are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. TREASURY SHARES When treasury shares subsequently vest to employees under the Downer employee share plans, the carrying value of the vested shares is transferred to the employee equity benefits reserve. accountInG for fInancIaL Guarantee contracts Financial guarantee contracts are measured initially at their fair values and subsequently measured at the higher of the amount recognised as a provision and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation in accordance with the revenue recognition policies. earnInGs Per share (ePs) Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent entity, adjusted for the cost of servicing equity (other than ordinary shares), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares. Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent entity divided by the total of the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year and the number of dilutive potential ordinary shares. Potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share from continuing operations. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. oPeratInG seGments An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. new accountInG standards and InterPretatIons The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period.

Inter-entity sales are recorded at amounts equal to competitive market prices charged to external customers for similar goods. The following items and the associated assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment: CURRENT YEAR (a) In the current year, the Group recognised $72.5 million pre-tax derecognition of hedge reserve relating to Reliance Rail, $33.6 million pre-tax profit on CPG Asia disposal, $18.0 million pre-tax impairment of goodwill, $20.0 million pre-tax provision referrable to Singapore Tunnel dispute and $5.3 million pre-tax provision referrable to Stephen Gillies’ litigation that are not included in the measure of segment profit and loss. The details of the provision charge and impairment of assets are separately disclosed as “Individually significant items” in the consolidated income statement and as discussed in Note 4; (b) Interest income and finance cost; (c) Corporate charges comprise non-segmental expenses such as head office expenses; and (d) Income tax expense.

The hedge reserve was being amortised on a straight line basis over 30 years, being the contracted term of the Waratah Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Through-Life Support (TLS) contract. As a result of the Reliance Rail restructure announced to the ASX on 6 February 2012, Downer transferred the equity accounted Reliance Rail hedge reserve of $72.5 million via the income statement to retained earnings. Amortisation in the current year of $1.3 million is reflected as an expense in the income statement (refer Note 1). cPG asIa net ProfIt on dIsPosaL On 14 December 2011, the Group announced it had signed a Share Sale Agreement with China Architecture Design and Research Group (CAG) to sell the CPG Asia business for $147.0 million. The sale of CPG Asia was completed on 30 April 2012 with a pre-tax profit of $33.6 million recognised during the financial year. The details of the disposal are separately disclosed in Note 27. ImPaIrment of GoodwILL and assets As required by Accounting Standards, the Group undertook an assessment of the carrying value of assets, having regard to the current and future operating performance of a number of businesses. As a result of this assessment, Management identified impairments of goodwill relating to Downer Asia and CPG Australia totalling $18.0 million (2011: $16.6 million impairments of goodwill and assets relating to Works UK and CPG New Zealand). DOWNER ASIA The Downer Asia business has not performed to the expectations of the Group, as a consequence of increased competition from other Asian contractors who have commenced operations in Singapore and has not secured sufficient future work to support the value of the carrying goodwill in the business. Management has decided to impair goodwill of Downer Asia by $9.3 million. CONSULTING – CPG AUSTRALIA The CPG business in Australia has underperformed as a result of challenging economic conditions and scarcity of work to support its operational and overhead structure. Management has decided to impair goodwill of CPG Australia by $8.7 million.

The investment initially totalled $67.0 million and comprised $66.3 million A1 notes included as part of ‘Other Financial Assets’ and $0.7 million included as part of ‘Equity-Accounted Investments’. The Group equity accounted for its share of profit and loss and hedge reserve movements in accordance with AASB 128 – Investments in Associates. With effect from May 2009, Reliance Rail ceased hedge accounting for its financial derivative instruments. Downer adopted a consistent accounting treatment. The hedge reserve of $79.1 million at that date was being amortised on a straight line basis over 30 years, being the contracted term of the Waratah Public Private Partnership (PPP) Through-Life Support (TLS) contract. On 6 February 2012, the New South Wales Government announced it had agreed to invest $175.0 million in 2018 in Reliance Rail in return for 100 per cent of the equity, subject to certain conditions precedent being achieved. Reliance Rail’s remaining debt funding of $357.0 million is subject to Reliance Rail lodging draw down notices over the next 18 months and the banks providing funding in line with their commitment. Six drawdowns totalling $173.9 million have now been drawn against this Bank Facility. As a result of the restructure, Downer has transferred the equity accounted Reliance Rail hedge reserve of $72.5 million via the income statement to retained earnings. This transfer has been classified as an Individually Significant Item (Note 4) and has had no impact on cash, equity, net assets or underlying earnings but has negatively impacted the full year statutory earnings. c) contingent liabilities The consolidated entity’s share of the contingent liabilities of joint venture entities are included in Note 30. 72 downer edI LImIted NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 16.

INTANgIBlE ASSETS – CONTINUED Allocation of goodwill to cash-generating units (CGUs) Goodwill has been allocated for impairment testing purposes to individual CGUs, taking into consideration geographical spread, resource allocation, how operations are monitored and where independent cash inflows are identifiable. Post the disposal of CPG Asia, 10 independent CGUs have been identified across the Group against which impairment testing has been undertaken: – Downer Australia East – Downer Australia West – Specialist Services – Downer Asia (i) – Mining – Rail – Downer New Zealand – Works United Kingdom (ii) – CPG Asia (iii) – CPG Australia (i) – CPG New Zealand (ii) Consolidated 2012 $’000 178,645 58,850 90,074 – 65,545 69,459 49,791 – – 6,224 – 2011 $’000 177,645 58,850 90,092 9,271 65,545 69,459 49,395 – 31,073 14,953 – 518,588 566,283 (i) Impaired at 30 June 2012 following impairment testing performed by management. (ii) Impaired at 30 June 2011 following impairment testing performed by management. (iii) disposal of business during the year. recoveraBLe amount testInG The carrying amount of goodwill is tested for impairment annually at 30 June and whenever there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired. Where an asset is deemed impaired, it is written down to its recoverable amount. Management identified $18.0 million impairment relating to goodwill in the Downer Asia and CPG Australia businesses following an assessment of the future performance of these businesses. The sale of CPG Asia has further undermined the ability of Downer Asia and CPG Australia to produce sufficient profits to support their goodwill amount as the CPG brand name leveraged these businesses in the past. As a result, a goodwill impairment of $9.3 million and $8.7 million has been recognised in Downer Asia and CPG Australia respectively in the current year. Impairment testing is typically undertaken in one of two ways: – A comparison of asset book values against fair value less costs to sell; or – A comparison of the asset book values to the “value in use” of the assets. In its impairment assessment, the Group determines the recoverable amount based on a value in use calculation, using cash flow projections based on the Group’s budget and financial forecasts including a terminal value. Key assumptions used for impairment testing include: Projected cash flows Cash flow projections are based on the Board approved 2012/13 (FY13) budget for the year ending 30 June 2013 and the business plan for the subsequent financial years ending 30 June 2014 to 30 June 2017 by applying division specific growth estimates and assuming a 2.5 per cent terminal growth rate to allow for organic growth on the existing asset base. Cash flows are then determined utilising the calculated Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) less tax, capital maintenance spending and working capital changes to provide a “free cash flow” estimate. This calculated cash flow is then compared against the free cash flow in the business plan to ensure the two are consistent. Growth rate estimates The future annual growth rates for FY14 onwards are based on expected market and expected business performance rates for each CGU being tested for impairment. 76 downer edI LImIted NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 17. INTANgIBlE ASSETS – CONTINUED recoveraBLe amount testInG – contInued Discount rates Discount rates of between 10.8 per cent and 12.1 per cent (2011: between 11.2 per cent and 12.6 per cent) reflect Management’s estimate of the time value of money and risks specific to each CGU. In determining the appropriate discount rate for each CGU, consideration has been given to the estimated weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the Group adjusted for country and business risk specific to that CGU. Gross margin This has been based on historical margins achieved, with changes where appropriate for expected efficiency improvements. Working capital Working capital has been maintained to support the underlying business plus allowances for growth of each business unit. Capital expenditure Capital expenditure included in the terminal year calculation is for maintenance capital used for existing plant and replacement of plant as it is retired from service. The resulting expenditure has been compared against the annual depreciation charge to ensure that it is reasonable. sensItIvItIes Sensitivity analysis has been undertaken for each CGU by varying terminal growth and discount rates. Assuming no material variation in these assumptions compared to those used in the analysis, Management is satisfied that the carrying value of the CGUs not impaired (refer above) exceeds their recoverable amount.

FINANCINg FACIlITIES – CONTINUED covenants on fInancInG facILItIes The Group’s financing facilities contain undertakings including an obligation to comply at all times with certain financial covenants (which require the Group to meet certain financial ratios) as well as maintain minimum levels of subsidiaries that are guarantors under various facilities. The main financial covenants to which the Group is subject to are Net Worth, Interest Service Coverage and Debt to Capitalisation. In addition, the Group’s standard credit platform contains certain restrictions and undertakings including but not limited to: i) Maintenance of authorisation; ii) Compliance with laws; iii) Disposal of assets; iv) Negative pledge (subject to certain “carve-outs”); v) Change of business; vi) Non-guarantor subsidiaries incurring financial indebtness; and vii) Maintenance of the guarantor group. Financial covenants testing is undertaken and is reported to the Board on a monthly basis. Reporting of financial covenants to financiers occurs semi-annually for the rolling 12 month periods to 30 June and 31 December. The Group was in compliance with all its financial covenants as at 30 June 2012. BondInG The Group has $1,294.1 million of bank guarantee and insurance bond facilities to support its contracting activities. $543.4 million of these facilities are provided to the Group on a committed basis and $750.7 million on an uncommitted basis. Under both committed and uncommitted facilities, the financial institution being requested to provide the guarantee/bond has the discretion as to whether to issue the bonding instrument depending on factors such as the form of the guarantee/bond, the underlying contract of work being undertaken and potential concentration limits the financial institution may have on the industry where the work is being conducted. Furthermore, in the case of uncommitted facilities, the financier has the discretion to cancel any unutilised balance of a facility at any time or to suspend utilisation of the facility for a given period. The Group’s committed facilities have varying maturity dates which range from November 2012 to December 2014 and for uncommitted facilities from September 2012 to December 2013. The Group’s facilities are provided by a number of different banks and insurance companies on an unsecured basis and are subject to certain Group guarantees. $966.2 million of these facilities were utilised as at 30 June 2012 with $327.9 million unutilised as at that date. $254.5 million of the current committed facilities is made up of a syndicated bonding facility referrable to the Waratah Train Project which was refinanced on 1 December 2011. As with all performance bonds, the risk being assumed under these bonds is Downer credit risk rather than project specific risk. The Group has the flexibility in respect of a committed facility amount of $51.1 million (shown as part of the unutilised bilateral bank loan facilities) which can, at the request of the Group, also be utilised for bonding purposes. refInancInG requIrements Where existing facilities approach maturity, the Group will seek to renegotiate with existing and new financiers to extend the maturity date of those facilities. The Group’s earnings profile, credit rating, state of the economy, conditions in financial markets and other factors may influence the outcome of those negotiations. credIt ratInGs The Group currently has an Investment Grade credit rating of BBB- (Outlook Stable) from Fitch Ratings. Where the credit rating is reduced, or placed on negative watch, customers and suppliers may be less willing to contract with the Group. Banks and other lending institutions may demand more stringent terms (including increased pricing) on debt and bonding facilities to reflect the higher credit risk profile. 80 downer edI LImIted NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 21.

CONTINgENT lIABIlITIES Consolidated 2012 $’000 2011 $’000 The consolidated entity has bid bonds and performance bonds issued in respect of contract performance in the normal course of business for wholly-owned controlled entities. 966,193 848,715 In the ordinary course of business: i) The Group is called upon to give guarantees and indemnities in respect of the performance by counterparties, including controlled entities and related parties, of their contractual and financial obligations. Other than as noted above, these guarantees and indemnities are indeterminable in amount. ii) The Group is subject to normal design liability in relation to completed design and construction projects. The Directors are of the opinion that there is adequate insurance to cover this area and accordingly, no amounts are recognised in the financial statements. iii) The Group has entered into various partnerships and joint ventures under which the controlled entity could ultimately be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the partnership or joint venture. iv) The Group has the normal contractor’s liability in relation to services and construction contracts, as well as liability for personal injury/property damage. This liability may include claims, disputes and/or litigation/arbitration by or against Group companies and/or joint venture arrangements in which the Group has an interest. The Group is currently managing a number of arbitration/litigation matters in relation to contracts, the most significant of which are set out below: − A claim by SP PowerAssets Ltd (SPP) in relation to the construction of an electrical services tunnel in Singapore (Project); − A claim by Alstom Limited (Alstom) in relation to construction of the Playford B Power Station; − A claim by the Group against BHP Billiton Nickel West Pty Ltd for extensions of time and variations associated with the Talc Redesign project at Mt. Keith, Western Australia; and − Some entities in the Group have been named as co-defendants in several proceedings with projects associated with the “weathertight” homes issue in New Zealand. v) In August 2003, the Group entered an agreement (Agreement) with SP PowerAssets Ltd (SPP) for the design and construction of a transmission cable tunnel in Singapore (Project). The contract value was S$85.0 million. In November 2005, the Land Transit Authority (LTA) issued a stop work direction for the Project, (Stop Work Direction). Despite the fact that the Group complied with the Stop Work Direction and other stipulations imposed by the LTA as best it was able, the LTA refused to lift the Stop Work Direction and in March 2006 the Group asserted that the Agreement had become frustrated (i.e. the actions of the LTA meant that it was no longer possible to perform the Works as contemplated by the Agreement). In November 2006, the Group and SPP entered into a further agreement (Supplemental Agreement) that covered a new arrangement for completion of the Project, in the event that the Stop Work Direction was ever lifted. The Project eventually recommenced in June 2007 (i.e. 18 months after the Stop Work Direction was issued) and completed in June 2009. SPP claims reimbursement of S$85.0 million paid to the Group for completion of the Project under the Supplemental Agreement. SPP also claim interest plus legal costs. Attempts to resolve the dispute via mediation were unsuccessful. A 10 day arbitration hearing took place in Singapore during March 2012 which covered the cross-examination of witnesses and presentation of expert witnesses. Written submissions were filed on 14 May 2012 and final reply submissions were filed in early July 2012. A decision is expected within one to three months of the final submissions being filed. The Group’s position is that SPP is not entitled to any reimbursement on the basis that the original contract for the Project was frustrated and that the Group is entitled to retain amounts paid by SPP under the Supplemental Agreement. More specifically, the Group’s position is that there were intervening third party events (namely orders issued by the LTA) which made the Agreement impossible to perform as contemplated by the parties. A separate High Court action in Singapore has also been commenced by the Group in relation to the dispute, seeking declaratory relief (specifically that the Stop Work Direction issued by the LTA was invalid). An unsuccessful strike out application was pursued by SPP and the Group is awaiting further orders from the court to progress preparation for hearing (which is not expected until early 2013). The Group has defended the claim and is awaiting the arbitration decision. In parallel the Group is pursuing the High Court proceedings. The Directors are of the opinion that disclosure of any further information related to this claim would be prejudicial to the interests of the Group. 90 downer edI LImIted NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 30. CONTINgENT lIABIlITIES – CONTINUED vi) In relation to the Alstom Limited claim, Downer Engineering and Yokogawa Australia Pty Limited entered into an unincorporated “50/50” joint venture arrangement (YDRML) which was subcontracted by Alstom in August 2002 to undertake electrical and control and instrumentation works for the Playford Power Station refurbishment. Alstom’s claims arise from alleged defaults and delays concerning the completion of YDRML’s work under the subcontract, with the total of the claims being $31.8 million. YDRML issued a counter-claim for payment of liquidated damages wrongfully deducted and payment for variations, together with interest and legal costs. YDRML’s counter-claim is more than $20.0 million. On 2 April 2012 the South Australian Supreme Court gave judgement, dismissing Alstom’s claim in full and finding in favour of YDRML on its counter-claim, with the declaratory orders on quantum to be determined separately. On 23 July 2012, the South Australian Supreme Court awarded interest in favour of YDRML in the sum of $3.6 million. The action in relation to the declaratory orders is ongoing, and the Directors are of the opinion that disclosure of any further information related to this claim would be prejudicial to the interests of the Group. vii) Former Managing Director Stephen Gillies received an initial award from the New South Wales Supreme Court in the sum of $7.8 million, including costs and interest. An appeal by the Group was heard by the Court of Appeal in May 2012 and a decision is pending. The Directors are of the opinion that the current provision of $7.8 million raised against this matter is sufficient. viii) IMF (Australia) Ltd has announced to the Australian Securities Exchange that it proposes to fund claims of certain current and former Downer EDI shareholders against Downer EDI Ltd. The claim relates to Downer EDI Ltd’s $190.0 million impairment to its Waratah rolling stock manufacturing contract announced on 1 June 2010. No claim has been issued. However, the Group is aware that a Government Information Public Access request (freedom of information) was made on behalf of IMF against RailCorp seeking information about the project. The Group does not currently have sufficient information to make any meaningful assessment of the potential claims. No provision has been made in the financial statements. ix) The Group previously disclosed provisions in relation to Ramu Highway, Sembawang, Port Botany Terminal and Laverton Power Station disputes in relation to contracts for completed projects. All these historical disputes have been settled during the current financial year. A claim by CECA France in relation to a commercial dispute over a bitumen additive purchase contract has also been settled during the financial year. These settlements did not have a material impact on the consolidated income statement in the current year. x) Under the terms of the agreement reached between the NSW Government and Reliance Rail, the Group has a contingent commitment to pay Reliance Rail $12.5 million in 2018 should it be required to refinance Reliance Rail’s senior debt.

FINANCIAl INSTRUmENTS (a) Capital risk management The capital structure of the consolidated entity consists of debt and equity. The consolidated entity may vary its capital structure by adjusting the amount of dividends, returning capital to shareholders, issuing new shares, or increasing or reducing debt. The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to operate as a going concern so that it can meet all its financial obligations when they fall due, to provide adequate returns to shareholders and to maintain an appropriate capital structure to optimise its cost of capital. The consolidated entity’s capital management strategy remains unchanged from 2011. The consolidated entity monitors its gearing ratio determined as the ratio of net debt to total capitalisation. The gearing ratios at 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 were as follows: Current borrowings Non-current borrowings Gross debt (i) Adjustment for the mark to market of derivatives and deferred finance charges Adjusted gross debt Less: cash and cash equivalents Net debt Equity (ii) Total capitalisation (Net debt + Equity) Gearing ratio (iii) Off balance sheet debt Operating leases (iv) Gearing ratio (including off balance sheet debt) (i) Gross debt is defined as all borrowings. (ii) equity consists of all capital and reserves. (iii) net debt/total capitalisation.

These risks include foreign exchange, interest rate, commodity and counterparty credit risk. The consolidated entity may enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, including: i) Forward foreign exchange contracts (outright forwards and options) to hedge the exchange rate risk arising from cross border trade flows, foreign income and debt service obligations; ii) Cross currency interest rate swaps to manage the currency risk associated with currency denominated borrowings; iii) Interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates; and iv) Fuel Index derivatives in relation to its input costs. The consolidated entity does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the consolidated entity’s Treasury Policy, which provides written principles on the use of financial derivatives.

Interest rate sensItIvIty anaLysIs The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the reporting date and assuming that the rate change occurs at the beginning of the financial year and is then held constant throughout the reporting year. The selected percentage increase or decrease represents Management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates. A positive number indicates a before-tax increase in profit and equity and a negative number indicates a before-tax decrease in profit and equity.

FINANCIAl INSTRUmENTS – CONTINUED (f) Commodity price risk The consolidated entity is exposed to commodity price risks arising from variability in the bitumen price. The consolidated entity uses Fuel Oil Index derivative contracts to manage this commodity price exposure on the value of bitumen inventory. The bitumen hedges are designated as fair value hedges of bitumen inventory. Commodity price risk sensitivity The sensitivity analysis on commodity price risk has not been disclosed as the amount is not material due to the offsetting impact of the fuel oil hedge and inventory valuations. (g) Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with highly rated counterparties. The consolidated entity’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and transactions are spread among approved counterparties. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables counterparties and where appropriate insurance cover is obtained. Refer to Note 11 for details on credit risk arising from trade and other receivables. The credit risk on derivative financial instruments is limited in terms of Treasury Policy to counterparties that have minimum long-term credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s of no less than A+. Due to the downward migration of the credit ratings of two existing bank counterparties over recent years, the consolidated entity has exposure to one bank rated A and another rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s. These counterparties were rated at A+ or higher when the transactions were originally executed. Credit risk arising from cash balances held with banks is managed by Group Treasury. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within approved credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Board from time to time. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty default. No material exposure is considered to exist by virtue of the non-performance of any financial counterparty. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk. (h) Liquidity risk management Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the consolidated entity is unable to settle a transaction on the due date. The ultimate liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate risk management framework for the consolidated entity’s funding and liquidity management requirements. The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and committed undrawn debt facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and where possible by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in Note 20 is a listing of committed undrawn debt facilities. annuaL rePort 2012 107 NOTES TO ThE FINANCIAl STATEmENTS for the year ended 30 June 2012 NOTE 37.

We recognise that climate change presents a challenge to business, society and the natural environment. Downer is committed to participating in climate change solutions by developing processes and technology to reduce our emissions and overall energy consumption. We are committed to tracking and disclosing our sustainability impacts, challenges and opportunities through our annual Sustainability Report which is a supplement to our 2012 Annual Report and Annual Review. The Sustainability Report provides a summary of our non-financial, sustainability-related performance for the year ended 30 June 2012 and will be available on the Downer website in December 2012. Understanding and managing our environmental impacts throughout the lifecycle of our products and services is fundamental to our long-term business success. Our ability to manage these impacts, and to identify opportunities to assist our clients to do the same, will deliver long term environmental benefits for all. manaGement systems Downer maintains a Zero Harm Management System (ZHMS) that provides a level of governance across our core safety and environmental management systems. It ensures that all our activities are undertaken in a manner that will not result in harm to the people associated with our operations, to the communities in which we work, or to the environment. During 2011–12, we undertook a major review of our high level ZHMS documents. These are our 146 Compliance Guides that identify the key requirements for Downer to meet its obligations for compliance with relevant international and Australian standards, conventions, statutes, regulations and codes of practice including: – Australian standards referenced in legislation; – statutory licences and industry codes; – responsible care; and – Downer’s Zero Harm policies, standards and procedures. The Compliance Guides reframe these obligations or requirements into a set of documents based on operational issues relevant to Downer’s activities. Leadership and how we engage our employees and contractors through training and awareness raising, is fundamental to supporting our management systems and ensuring that they continue to be effective and assist us improving our Zero Harm performance. A major focus during the year was the integration of essential processes, procedures and systems management across the newly formed division of Downer Australia which integrated the former Works, Engineering, CPG Resources and Emerging Sectors businesses to ensure continuity of Zero Harm practice. heaLth and safety We aspire to create a Zero Harm environment which, in the context of health and safety, means caring for and protecting our people with a goal of zero injuries or health impacts. Tragically, during the year two employees died as a result of reversing vehicles. Following these fatalities we have undertaken a comprehensive review of work systems and practices and a number of initiatives have been implemented to address the hazards involved with reversing vehicles. Our health and safety performance is monitored through the measure of Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR)1 and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR).2 At 30 June 2012, our LTIFR remains less than 1 at 0.93 per million hours worked and the TRIFR continues to reduce and currently is 13.4 per cent lower than the previous year at 6.21 per million hours worked.3 envIronmentaL sustaInaBILIty The diversity and scope of Downer’s activities mean that our potential sustainability related impacts are wide-ranging. We realise that our social licence to operate is contingent upon our ability to identify, manage and mitigate these impacts. Effective management of our environmental impacts is embedded in our overall risk management processes and our divisions operate under tailored, robust aspects and impacts registers that address site facility and project-based hazards and risks. This approach reflects the diversity of our operations, and the need to focus on industry-specific risks and opportunities. Climate change remains a key challenge for business, society and the natural environment. We operate within carbon-intensive industries and therefore key challenges for us are the effective management of our own carbon-related activities and the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) to reduce our emissions intensity. Our response to climate change is an integrated approach to our emission-related activities, focusing on compliance, business improvement and business development opportunities. As Downer is largely a contract service provider, this strategy has been influenced by the climate change related issues which also have an impact on our customers. Our ability to develop processes and technology to reduce our emissions and overall energy consumption across a wide range of business activities such as mining and manufacturing asphalt allows us to assist our customers in managing the climate change challenges for own their businesses. Further information about Downer’s approach to sustainability is available in our Annual Review and our 2011 Sustainability Reports, which are available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. 1 Lost time injuries (LtIs) are defined as diseases or occurrences that result in a fatality, permanent disability or time lost from one day/shift or more. the LtIfr is the number of LtIs per million hours worked. 2 trIfr is the number of fatal injuries + lost-time injuries + medically treated injuries per million hours worked. 3 Published safety statistics may be subject to change due to updates in incident classifications and amendments to hours worked. these data will be subject to third party verification and will be published in the 2012 sustainability report. 116 downer edI LImIted CORPORATE gOvERNANCE for the year ended 30 June 2012 OvERvIEW Downer’s corporate governance framework provides the platform from which: – the Board is accountable to shareholders for the operations, performance and growth of the Company; – Downer management is accountable to the Board; – the risks of Downer’s business are identified and managed; and The performance of Downer’s senior executives is regularly reviewed against appropriate measures, including individual performance targets linked to the business plan and overall corporate objectives. Downer’s senior executives participate in periodic performance evaluations where they receive feedback on progress against these targets. PRINCIPlE 2 – STRUCTURE ThE BOARD TO ADD vAlUE – Downer effectively communicates with its shareholders and the investment community. Throughout the 2012 financial year, the Board was comprised of a majority of independent Directors. Downer continues to enhance its policies and processes to promote leading corporate governance practices. The Board endorses the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (ASX Principles). PRINCIPlE 1 – lAy SOlID FOUNDATIONS FOR mANAgEmENT AND OvERSIghT The Downer Board Charter sets out the functions and responsibilities of the Board and is available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. The Board Charter states that the role of the Board is to provide strategic guidance for the Company and to effectively oversee management of the Company. Among other things, the Board is responsible for: – overseeing the Company, including its control and accountability systems; – appointing and removing the Group CEO and senior executives; – monitoring performance of the Group CEO and senior executives; and – reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management and internal control, codes of conduct and legal compliance. Directors receive formal letters of engagement setting out the key terms, conditions and expectations of their engagement. The Board Charter also describes the functions delegated to management, led by the Group CEO. The primary goal set for management by the Board is to focus on enhancing shareholder value, which includes responsibility for Downer’s economic, environmental and social performance. The Group CEO is responsible for the day-to-day management of Downer and his authority is delegated and authorised by the Board. Details of the Downer Executive Leadership Team are available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. The Board has formal induction procedures for both Directors and senior executives. These induction procedures have been developed to enable new Directors and senior executives to gain an understanding of: – Downer’s financial position, strategies, operations and risk management policies; and – the respective rights, duties and responsibilities and roles of the Board and senior executives. The Board is currently comprised of the Chairman (Mike Harding, an independent, Non-executive Director), seven independent, Non-executive Directors and an Executive Director (the Group CEO, Grant Fenn). Details of the members of the Board, including their skills, experience, status and their term of office are set out in the Directors’ Report on pages 2 to 3 and are also available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. The composition of the Board is assessed by the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee to ensure the Board is of a composition, size and commitment to effectively discharge its responsibilities and duties. Directors are required to bring an independent judgement to bear on all Board decisions. To facilitate this, it is Downer’s policy to provide Directors with access to independent professional advice at the Company’s expense in appropriate circumstances. Downer’s Non-executive Directors recognise the benefit of conferring regularly without management present, and they do so at various times throughout the year. The Board considers that an independent Director is a Non- executive Director who is not a member of management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could (or could reasonably be perceived to) materially interfere with the independent exercise of their judgement. The Board regularly assesses the independence of each Director. Downer’s governance framework requires each Director to promptly disclose actual and possible conflicts of interest, any interests in contracts, other directorships or offices held, related party transactions and any dealing in the Company’s securities. At least one Director must retire from office at each Annual General Meeting (AGM). No Non-executive Director can serve more than three years without offering themselves for re-election. The Chairman of the Board is an independent, Non-executive Director. He is responsible for leadership of the Board and for the efficient organisation and functioning of the Board. The Chairman is appointed by the Board to ensure that a high standard of values, governance and constructive interaction is maintained. The Chairman facilitates the effective contribution of all Directors and promotes constructive and respectful relations between Directors and the Board and management. He also represents the views of the Board to Downer’s shareholders and conducts the AGM. annuaL rePort 2012 117 CORPORATE gOvERNANCE for the year ended 30 June 2012 PRINCIPlE 2 – STRUCTURE ThE BOARD TO ADD vAlUE – CONTINUED The roles of Chairman and Group CEO are not exercised by the same person and the division of responsibilities between the Chairman and the Group CEO have been agreed by the Board and are set out in the Board Charter and Downer’s delegations policy. The Board has established a number of subcommittees to assist the Board to effectively and efficiently execute its responsibilities. A list of the main Board Committees and their membership is set out in the table below.

The Board has established the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee to oversee the selection and appointment practices of the Company. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee’s primary purpose is to support and advise the Board on fulfilling its responsibilities to shareholders by ensuring that the Board is comprised of individuals who are best able to discharge the responsibilities of Directors having regard to the law and leading governance practice. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee has a charter which sets out its roles and responsibilities, composition, structure, membership requirements and the procedures for inviting non-committee members to attend meetings. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee Charter gives the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee access to internal and external resources, including access to advice from external consultants and specialists. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee Charter is available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. 118 downer edI LImIted CORPORATE gOvERNANCE for the year ended 30 June 2012 PRINCIPlE 2 – STRUCTURE ThE BOARD TO ADD vAlUE – CONTINUED The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee, all members of which are independent Directors, is chaired by an independent Director and has a minimum of three members. The Board is provided with the information it needs to discharge its responsibilities effectively. The Directors also have access to the Company Secretary for all Board and governance-related issues and the appointment and removal of the Company Secretary is determined by the Board. The Company Secretary is accountable to the Board on all governance matters. The Committee’s responsibilities include: – assessing the skills and competencies required on the Board; – assessing the extent to which the required skills are represented on the Board; – establishing processes for the review of the performance of individual Directors and the Board as a whole; – establishing processes for identifying suitable candidates for appointment to the Board; and – recommending the engagement of nominated persons as Directors. When appointing Directors, the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee aims to ensure that an appropriate balance of skills, experience, expertise and diversity is represented on the Board. The Company recognises the value of diversity and diversity has been a component of the appointment process over the past few years. From time to time, Downer engages external specialists to assist with the selection process as necessary, and the Chairman and Group CEO meet with nominees as part of the appointment process. Nominations for re-election of directors are reviewed by the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee and Directors are re-elected in accordance with the Downer Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules. As part of its commitment to leading corporate governance practice, the Board undertakes improvement programs, including periodic review of its performance in consultation with an external consultant. The Board is currently undertaking an externally facilitated review of its performance and that of its Committees. The review includes written surveys and interviews. The Board will discuss the results of the review at a Board meeting. Additionally, Downer’s Director and senior executive induction program is designed to enable new Directors and senior executives to gain an understanding of, among other things, Downer’s culture and values and the Company’s financial, strategic, operational and risk management position. Directors are given an induction briefing by the Company Secretary and an induction pack containing information about Downer and its business, Board and Committee charters and Downer group policies. New Directors also meet with key senior executives to gain an insight into the Company’s business operations and the Downer group structure. Directors are encouraged to continually build on their exposure to the Company’s business and a formal program of Director site visits has been in place since 2009. Directors are also encouraged to attend appropriate training and professional development courses to update and enhance their skills and knowledge and the Company Secretary regularly organises governance and other continuing education sessions for the Board. PRINCIPlE 3 – PROmOTE EThICAl AND RESPONSIBlE DECISION-mAKINg Downer strives to attain the highest standards of behaviour and business ethics when engaging in corporate activity. The Downer Standards of Business Conduct sets the ethical tone and standards of the Company and deals with matters such as: – compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law; – prohibition against bribery and corruption; – protection of confidential information; – engaging with stakeholders; – workplace safety; – diversity and inclusiveness; – sustainability; and – conflicts of interest. Downer also has a formal whistleblower policy and procedures for reporting and investigating breaches of the Standards of Business Conduct. The Standards of Business Conduct applies to all officers and employees and is available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. Downer endorses leading governance practices and has in place policies setting out the Company’s approach to various matters, including: – securities trading (stipulating ‘closed periods’ for designated employees and a formal process which all employees must adhere to when dealing in securities); – the Company’s disclosure obligations (including continuous disclosure); – communicating with shareholders and the general investment community; and – privacy. These policies are available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. dIversIty at downer Downer formalised its practices in a Diversity and Inclusiveness Policy in July 2011, that sets out the diversity strategy for Downer, which has a particular focus on gender, age and cultural diversity. Downer also has established a Diversity and Inclusiveness Committee made up of senior executives across the Group which meets on a regular basis. Prior to the adoption of the Diversity and Inclusiveness Policy, Downer has reported on diversity in its annual Sustainability Report since 2009. The Diversity and Inclusiveness Policy and Downer’s Sustainability Reports are available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. annuaL rePort 2012 119 CORPORATE gOvERNANCE for the year ended 30 June 2012 PRINCIPlE 3 – PROmOTE EThICAl AND RESPONSIBlE DECISION-mAKINg – CONTINUED asx dIversIty recommendatIons – dIversIty statement This diversity statement outlines Downer’s performance throughout 2012 with respect to gender diversity and specifically includes: – details of Downer’s key gender representation metrics; – an overview of the gender diversity initiatives undertaken by Downer throughout 2012; and – an outline of Downer’s measurable gender diversity objectives for 2013. Gender rePresentatIon metrIcs As at 30 June 2012, the gender representation metrics were as follows: – three of the eight non-executive directors on the Downer Board are women; – women currently make up six per cent of Senior Management/Executive roles; and – women constitute approximately 11 per cent of Downer’s workforce. LooKInG BacK: fy 2012 measuraBLe oBJectIves Objective Outcome Improve the gender balance of the Downer Board. During 2012, Downer appointed two women to its Board as Non-executive Directors resulting in a total of three female Board members. Increase the number of new female Senior Management/ Executive appointments. The number of women holding Senior Management/Executive roles remained static at 6 per cent. Increase the number of female applicants and female recruitment across all roles in Downer.

Continue to promote awareness and understanding of the importance of diversity and inclusiveness at a Senior Executive/Management level. Increase awareness of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander affairs. A gender diversity survey was sent to over 2,000 women across all roles in Australia and New Zealand, of which 1,150 women participated. The analysis of the findings of the survey has resulted in the recommendation of a number of gender related initiatives and programs, and the formation of focus groups to further analyse the findings and ensure that those initiatives and programs are prioritised appropriately. Diversity and inclusiveness was established as a standing agenda item at the monthly executive committee meeting attended by Downer’s most senior executives. The executive committee considers and endorses recommendations made by Downer’s Diversity and Inclusiveness Committee and monitors the status of diversity and inclusiveness issues as well as the progress made on initiatives and programs. Downer has developed an Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Affairs strategy for the Group covering matters such as governance, stakeholder engagement, social investment, business partnerships and indigenous employment.

The Audit Committee assists the Board to fulfil its responsibility relating to the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and reporting practices of the Company and its role includes a particular focus on the qualitative aspects of financial reporting to shareholders. The Audit Committee is structured so that it: – consists of only Non-executive Directors; – consists of a majority of independent Directors; – is chaired by an independent Chairman (who is not the Chairman of the Board); and – has at least three members. The Audit Committee currently comprises only independent Directors, includes members who are financially literate and has at least one member who has relevant qualifications and experience. The Audit Committee Charter sets out the Audit Committee’s role and responsibilities, composition, structure and membership requirements and the procedures for inviting non-committee members to attend meetings. The Audit Committee Charter is available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the integrity of Downer’s financial reporting and overseeing the independence of the external auditors. The Audit Committee reports to the Board on all matters relevant to its role and responsibilities. PRINCIPlE 5 – mAKE TImEly AND BAlANCED DISClOSURE The Company’s Disclosure Policy sets out processes which assist the Company to ensure that all investors have equal and timely access to material information about the Company and that Company announcements are factual and presented in a clear and balanced way. A copy of the Disclosure Policy is available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. The Disclosure Policy also sets out the procedures for identifying and disclosing material and price-sensitive information in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the ASX Listing Rules. Downer’s Disclosure Committee consists of two independent, Non-executive Directors (one of which is the Chairman of the Board) and the Group CEO. The Disclosure Committee oversees disclosure of information by the Company to the market and the general investment community. Downer empowers its shareholders by: – communicating effectively with shareholders; – giving shareholders ready access to balanced and understandable information about the Company; and – making it easy for shareholders to participate in general meetings. The Downer Communication Policy sets out the Company’s approach to communicating with shareholders and is available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. The Company publishes corporate information on its website (www.downergroup.com), including Annual and Half Year Reports, ASX announcements and media releases. Downer encourages shareholder participation at AGMs through its use of electronic communication, including by making notices of meetings available on its website and audio casting of general meetings and significant Group presentations. Downer’s external auditor attends the Company’s AGMs and is available to answer any questions which shareholders may have about the conduct of the external audit for the relevant financial year and the preparation and content of the Audit Report. PRINCIPlE 7 – RECOgNISE AND mANAgE RISK To mitigate the risks that arise through its activities, Downer has various risk management policies and guidelines in place that cover (among other matters) interest rate management, foreign exchange risk management, credit risk management and operational and decision-making risk management. Downer has controls at the Board, executive and business unit levels that are designed to safeguard Downer’s interests and ensure the integrity of reporting (including accounting, financial reporting, environment and workplace health and safety policies and procedures). These controls are designed to ensure that Downer complies with legal and regulatory requirements, as well as community standards. Downer has a risk management function to monitor risk and uses external consultants to assist with the ongoing review of risk management across the Downer Group. Downer has also established principles for the Company to follow to ensure that contract formation and contract management processes are maintained and improved. Management reports regularly to the Board on the effectiveness of Downer’s management of its material business risks. The Board regularly reviews the effectiveness of the Company’s systems for the management of material business risks and the implementation of these systems. The Company’s internal audit team analyses and undertakes independent appraisal of the adequacy and effectiveness of Downer’s risk management and internal control system. Downer’s internal audit team is independent of the external auditor and has access to the Audit Committee and to management. annuaL rePort 2012 121 The Company’s previous Constitution allowed for retiring Non-executive Directors to receive a retiring allowance, subject to the limitations set out in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Consistent with the ASX Principles, the right to retirement benefits was frozen in 2005. However, because remuneration arrangements for some Non-executive Directors were in place prior to 2005, information about any payments has been fully provided in the financial statements where such retirement benefits have been paid. Directors entitled to a retirement benefit were paid a reduced fee and once a director’s accumulated reduction in base fees has reached the value of the retirement benefit, the applicable base fee reverts to the general fee level. This has been applied to Mr Humphrey from 1 July 2009. The retirement benefit has not been offered to Non-executive Directors appointed subsequently. Non-executive Directors do not participate in any equity incentive schemes. The remuneration structure for Executive Directors and senior executives is designed to achieve a balance between fixed and variable remuneration taking into account the performance of the individual and the performance of the Company. Executive Directors receive payment of equity- based remuneration as short and long-term incentives. Executive Directors and senior executives are prohibited from entering into transactions in associated products which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any of the Company’s equity-based remuneration schemes. Further details about the remuneration of Executive Directors and senior executives are set out in the Remuneration Report at page 10 and details of Downer shares beneficially owned by Directors are provided in the Directors’ Report at page 4. CORPORATE gOvERNANCE for the year ended 30 June 2012 PRINCIPlE 7 – RECOgNISE AND mANAgE RISK – CONTINUED Downer has established a Risk Committee to assist the Board in its oversight of Downer’s risk profile and risk policies, the effectiveness of the systems of internal control and framework for risk management and Downer’s compliance with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The Risk Committee Charter is available on the Downer website at www.downergroup.com. The Board receives assurances from the Group CEO and the Group CFO that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks. PRINCIPlE 8 – REmUNERATE FAIRly AND RESPONSIBly The Board has established a Remuneration Committee and has adopted the Remuneration Committee Charter which sets out its role and responsibilities, composition, structure and membership requirements and the procedures for inviting non-committee members to attend meetings. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board about: – executive remuneration and incentive policies; – the remuneration, recruitment, retention, performance measurement and termination policies and procedures for all senior executives reporting directly to the Group CEO, including the Group CFO and the Company Secretary; – executive and equity-based incentive plans; and – superannuation arrangements and retirement payments. Remuneration of the Group CEO, executive directors and non-executive directors forms part of the responsibilities of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee. Downer’s remuneration policy is designed to motivate senior executives to pursue the long-term growth and success of the Company and prescribes a relationship between the performance and remuneration of senior executives. The Remuneration Committee consists of a majority of independent Directors, is chaired by an independent Director and has at least three members (there is currently no Executive Director on the Remuneration Committee). The maximum aggregate fee approved by shareholders that can be paid to Non-executive Directors is $2.0 million per annum. This cap was approved by shareholders on 30 October 2008. Further details about remuneration paid to Non-executive Directors are set out in the Remuneration Report at page 10. 122 downer edI LImIted INFORmATION FOR INvESTORS for the year ended 30 June 2012 DOWNER ShAREhOlDERS UPDATINg yOUR ShAREhOlDER DETAIlS Downer had 23,157 ordinary shareholders as at 30 June 2012.
