PerFormance For the year The past financial year was our first as a listed company on the Australian Stock Exchange. Following the listing, our primary focus has been on growing Emeco’s business and, in the process, delivering the ambitious financial results for the year which were outlined in the Company’s prospectus. The achievement of our prospectus forecast results presented Emeco with a significant challenge. However, we have met the challenge and exceeded most of these forecasts. Pro-forma earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) was forecast to increase by 36.2% in the 2006/2007 financial year to $121.8 million whereas, in fact, pro-forma EBITA increased by 43.7% to $128.5M. We also forecast pro-forma net profit after tax (NPAT) for the year of $70.3 million whereas actual pro-forma NPAT was $74.7M resulting in pro-forma earnings per share of 11.8 cents. These results are an impressive achievement and they demonstrate Emeco’s continued capacity to execute its growth strategy and deliver to shareholders. It is pleasing to note we continued to witness a growing acceptance of Emeco’s dry hire product offering by existing and new customers both in Australian and in our international businesses. We have also seen strong growth from Emeco’s recent acquisitions, particularly from our Canadian and European operations. our PeoPle Our impressive financial performance and the continuing execution of our strategy in the 2006/2007 year were underpinned by the commitment of our staff. I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the board to thank them for their hard work and professionalism during a year which has required many of them to go beyond the normal call of duty for the sake of the Company and its shareholders. As part of Emeco’s commitment to the safety and health of its staff, we worked hard during the year to ensure we have best practice occupational health and safety systems and processes in place at all of Emeco’s global operations. We continue to make real progress in this area and it is a source of real satisfaction to me to see that a safety culture is being embedded in the Company. DiviDenD The dividend policy of the board is to distribute to shareholders approximately 35 to 45% of annual net statutory profit after tax and to frank dividends to the fullest extent possible. In line with our policy, the directors have declared a final fully franked dividend of 2.5 cents per share, taking the full year fully franked dividend for the 2006/2007 year to 3.5 cents. the Future Emeco’s customers have embraced our integrated business model in increasing numbers in recent years. We have witnessed a growing demand for our equipment dry hire product offering as well as increased opportunities for our sales and parts divisions. Emeco’s proven ability to provide flexible product offerings to its customers is the foundation of the Company’s success. We are confident Emeco will continue to deliver significant growth to shareholders. Our confidence is based not only on our belief that Emeco has a sound and durable business model, but also on Emeco’s highly disciplined approach to capital expenditure and the continuing global demand for commodities. We believe these factors, combined with world class management and staff, will underpin the ongoing success of Emeco. alec Brennan Chairman 7 THE SAFETY OF OUR PEOPLE IS PARAMOUNT. WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENSURING BEST PRACTICE SAFETY STANDARDS ARE ADHERED TO IN ALL OUR GLOBAL BUSINESSES. 8 8 managing director’s report other stakeholders. We accepted the responsibility to achieve the forecasts, while at the same time, ensuring everything we pursued was completed in a manner which built upon our existing foundations to ensure a sustainable future for the Company. It is therefore with a great sense of pride in our people that we present to our shareholders the results set out in this report. BuilDing For the long term Whilst the relatively short term focus of prospectus earnings forecasts presented us with some unique challenges, we never let our focus slip from the main objective - building a global business which will generate shareholder wealth for the long term. During the year, with this long term vision in mind, we continued the process of growing our business in a manner which is commercially and socially sustainable. This involved initiatives in a number of areas. investing in the Business We invested a total of $243.2M during the year. This comprised $182.9 million in growth capital of which $135.2 million was invested in organic growth and $47.7 million was invested in acquisitions. In addition, we invested $60.3M in maintenance capital. The size of our rental fleet increased by 199 machines to 1,013. Much of our organic growth was driven by demand from existing and new customers in Australia and Canada. We have also commenced constructing new custom built maintenance facilities at two branches this year in Fort McKay, in Alberta province, Canada and in London, Kentucky, USA which will be operational in FY2008. These new facilities will enhance our maintenance ability and enable us to improve on our international reputation as a supplier of reliable and highly productive machines, which we are renowned for in Australia, and increase our product offering in these regions. The year has been an exciting period with a number of significant challenges for us in our first full year as a public company. The transition from private to public ownership has placed all of us on a steep learning curve, presenting a range of new challenges as we adjusted to increased scrutiny and disclosure and the expectations of market analysts and our investor base to be readily available. We feel we have coped well with the challenges and are in better stead for the coming years. While the overall markets around the world have presented numerous opportunities, we have experienced a number of supply side constraints such as quarantine delays on most Australian wharfs, transport bottlenecks on rail networks and ports, along with delays in securing equipment and an unprecedented shortage of labour which has influenced the predictability of daily life. Notwithstanding these constraints, we had a wonderfully successful year which has established us as a truly world class rental company. Our primary challenge was to achieve our prospectus forecast earnings for the year. For us, the forecasts were a commitment to our new shareholders and laurie Freedman MANAGING DIRECTOR 9 proximity to key port facilities in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. In late June 2007 we completed the acquisition of JK Mining’s earth moving fleet and immediately put it to work at Kagara Zinc’s Balcooma mine in Queensland. The acquisition of the JK Mining assets and their deployment with Kagara Zinc are important strategic developments for Emeco and further advanced our strategy of diversifying our resources sector exposure by pursuing opportunities to hire our machines and provide our services to base metal producers. Resulting from our disciplined approach to capital management, we maintained the quality of earnings on our growth capital investment. EBITA ROFE for the full year was in line with prospectus forecasts. Despite some supply side constraints in a number of our businesses and market softness in Indonesia and the USA, we remain optimistic the supply challenges will ease in the coming year and we are also looking forward to a pick up in demand for equipment in Indonesia and the USA as new mining projects come on stream and we continue to build our market presence. We have recruited a number of very senior experienced leaders throughout the year which has reinforced the quality of our leadership and enabled us to continue pursuing our exciting growth ambitions both in Australia and around the world. In anticipation of an emerging global tyre shortage we established a long term supply contract with a major global tyre manufacturer which will ensure supply of our existing and growing tyre requirements into the future. This was an excellent strategic coup and will eliminate a major constraint to our growth for years to come. We have continued to reinforce our global procurement capability by establishing relationships with many independent, regionally located brokers who now deal directly with us as their main distribution channel. Another significant achievement has been in the area of our corporate and administration support. We have institutionalized many of our core processes and have established first class reporting systems and moved significantly to real time reporting. This provides operational management with increased information to assist in managing the individual businesses. While we have some way to go before being totally satisfied, we have made a significant improvement in this area. major achievements During the year We completed four strategically important acquisitions during the year. In July 2006, we completed the acquisition of the Bevans business based in Orange, NSW. In the same month, we acquired a large package of assets from TSM North America Inc. deployed under short rental contracts in Kentucky and West Virginia in the USA. This latter acquisition has provided us with a platform to take advantage of growth opportunities and pursue our strategy to expand our business model throughout the Appalachian coal mining region in South-eastern USA. In January 2007 we acquired the Euro Machinery businesses based in the Netherlands and fulfilled our strategic vision of establishing a truly global presence to support our procurement and distribution capabilities. Following the acquisition we transferred the business to a new state of the art machinery workshop, sales yard and office facility in Hardenberg, which is located 11⁄2 hours by road from Amsterdam and Rotterdam and in close our unique Business moDel rental Our fleet now numbers in excess of 1,000 high-quality, low-hour machines. All are available for rent on a short or long term basis and can be delivered to virtually any location around the globe. sales Emeco sells over 550 machines annually in the global used equipment marketplace. We procure quality machines from around the world and on request, assist with the disposal and/or sale of our customers’ surplus equipment. 10 service and parts Emeco provides its customers with a full fleet maintenance service and offers a range of parts. blue chip customers who are culturally aligned to partnering and who are seeking secure long term relationships. The results from a recent survey by a leading equipment rental trade publication reported Emeco as having increased its global ranking from 74th largest rental company in the 2006 financial year to 20th largest in the 2007 financial year. We have the vision, financial and human capital and the energy to continue to forge a presence into the upper echelon of global rental companies over the next few years. I would like to thank our anchor shareholders for their patience and belief in the Company’s business model, and all our employees and we look forward to jointly celebrating our ongoing success into the future. laUrie Freedman Managing Director investing in our PeoPle We significantly stepped up our level of recruitment both in Australia and in our offshore operations during the 2007 financial year to ensure our continuing rapid growth was supported by the right people with the right skills. In Australia, the number of employees increased from 307 to more than 390, while in Canada, we now have more than 50 employees compared with 29 at the start of the 2007 year. Similarly proportionate increases occurred in the US and Europe. We have always been committed to ensuring the safety of our employees, contractors and visitors. However, this year we reviewed our safety performance and decided we could do better. During the year we set about embedding in our culture the importance of excellent safety management. We committed additional people, resources and senior management attention to safety across the group. The results so far have been pleasing, however, the process of developing and improving safety systems is a continuous one which does not have an end date. My fellow directors and I will continue to take a direct and personal interest in this area. BroaDening our ProDuct oFFering In the past 12 months we continued to experience an increasing level of demand for our rental fleet, particularly in Australia and Canada. Our dry hire model continued to gain acceptance amongst the end users of heavy earth moving equipment and we continued to refine our product offering. We now offer a range of rental alternatives to our customers, from simple dry equipment hire to full asset maintenance capability. This enhancement of our rental product range has resulted in the deepening of relationships with some existing customers, who are attracted to Emeco’s fully maintained fleet offering, and was one of the primary drivers of the increased level of enquiry we are experiencing. We are continually considering ways in which we can enhance our product offering for the benefit of our customers and the Company. the Future The outlook for the Company looks very encouraging. The new financial year has started in a positive manner and is providing us with the confidence to expect another excellent year in 07/08. The mining and construction markets in which we participate around the world continue to remain strong, notwithstanding the temporary pull back in the housing market in the USA. Expected global growth of around 3-4% in the long term will continue to underpin Emeco’s future growth aspirations. With time, we will build on our existing brand presence and become a major and recognised force in the global rental market. We have commenced desk top evaluations on a number of new geographic opportunities to prepare for further global expansion. We are continuing to embed ourselves deeply into the core production processes of many of our customers and in doing so, we are building a more secure and sustainable future. We are especially focusing on major growing DemanD For rental equiPment commodities in demand Sustained demand for commodities in China and India leading to growth in demand for earth moved. civil construction rising High levels of civil construction activity in Australia and Canada. supply of equipment restricted The global market for mining and earthmoving equipment is tight. 11 review oF operations Depreciation increased by 46.1% to $78.9 million for the year ended 30 June 2007 as compared to the previous corresponding period. The increase in depreciation is primarily due to the increase in the rental fleet from 814 machines as at 30 June 2006 to 1,013 machines as at 30 June 2007 and, in part, due to a continuing shift in the mix of the Australian fleet with a significant number of growth and replacement machines being larger sized machines which are typically operated for longer hours on mine sites. Amortisation expense decreased by 67.6% to $3.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2007 as most of the Company’s contract intangibles were amortised in FY2006. The strengthening of the Australian dollar during the year had an adverse impact on reported earnings. Currency movements reduced actual EBITDA by $3.3M and EBITA by $1.6M as compared to the exchange rate assumptions used in the Prospectus forecast. emeco oPerating segments pro-forma actual pro-forma actual ipo pro-forma Forecast FY 2006 FY 2007 FY 2007 revenue Rental Sales Parts & Maintenance eBita Rental Sales Parts & Maintenance 220.1 130.3 318.9 191.0 321.5 170.0 32.2 44.5 33.0 79.0 8.0 117.0 8.0 109.5 9.5 2.4 3.5 2.8 the emeco grouP The financial results set out in the following table and discussed below have been prepared using pro-forma actual FY2007 year results for the Emeco Group.

Consistent with Prospectus forecasts, the Company has reported pro-forma revenue of $554.4 million up 44.8% and pro-forma EBITA of $128.5 million, up 43.7% for the year ended 30 June 2007 as compared to the previous corresponding period. This increase was driven predominantly by growth in the Australian and Canadian rental businesses. EBITA margins remained relatively constant at 23.2% for the year ended 30 June 2007 as compared to 23.4% for the previous corresponding period. 12 geograPhic highlights inDonesia australia pro-forma actual pro-forma actual ipo pro-forma Forecast FY 2006 FY 2007 FY 2007 Revenue EBITDA EBITA 291.4 104.9 67.0 Rental machines 469 418.9 165.1 106.6 553 372.4 150.1 91.7 492 Emeco’s Australian business continued to perform strongly. Earnings growth remained robust, underpinned by continuing growth in the Western Australian mining sector and increased penetration of the rental market in Queensland and NSW. In 2007, rental machines increased from 469 to 553. Significant mine expansions and development is either underway or in the development pipeline in Western Australia and this development will continue to drive growth of Emeco’s rental business in that State. Although recent supply-side and infrastructure bottlenecks in Queensland and New South Wales have constrained growth in these two states, management expects continuing growth via increasing penetration with existing customers and contracts with new customers who see the value of Emeco’s fully maintained fleet rental offering. Emeco will continue to seek organic growth opportunities in Australia via its existing customer contacts and networks and pursue targeted acquisitions in regions in which it does not currently have a strong market presence. pro-forma actual pro-forma actual ipo pro-forma Forecast FY 2006 FY 2007 FY 2007 Revenue EBITDA EBITA 32.7 24.2 13.7 Rental machines 146 27.5 21.6 10.6 116 35.3 26.5 11.9 167 Emeco experienced some softness in Indonesia during FY2007 which was largely attributable to a mining customer ceasing surface mining and commencing underground operations, and to a trend amongst miners away from using offshore contract miners with whom Emeco has strong relationships and towards either owner-mining or using Indonesian domiciled contract miners. These circumstances resulted in the off hire of a number of Emeco’s machines and a consequent reduction in utilisation rates. Emeco responded to this demand decline by redeploying some idle equipment to Australia and North America. Whilst the past year has been difficult for the Company’s Indonesian business, the outlook is for improved market conditions with a number of major new coal mining projects coming on stream in Kalimantan in 2007/2008 expected to result in increased demand for earth moving equipment. As part of a broader risk diversification strategy, Emeco is looking to reduce its reliance on the Indonesian market and broaden its geographical presence in South East Asia by supporting existing customers in new locations in the region. rest oF the worlD pro-forma actual pro-forma actual ipo pro-forma Forecast FY 2006 FY 2007 FY 2007 Revenue EBITDA EBITA 58.7 14.3 8.7 Rental machines 199 108.0 116.8 20.6 11.3 344 30.7 18.2 225 13 review oF operations The outlook for the US sales and rental businesses is promising. On the rental side, Emeco’s push into the Appalachians has resulted in increasing recognition of the Emeco brand and its rental model. Toward the end of FY2007, this recognition began to translate into rental fleet deployments for Emeco and it is expected this trend will continue in FY2008. On the sales side, the US business has recently increased the number of experienced sales staff to support the sales business. This increase in capability is expected to result in increased equipment sales in FY2008. euroPe A significant development for the Emeco Group’s European operations in FY2007 was the acquisition of the Euro Machinery business in January 2007 and the transfer of the business to a new workshop, sales yard and office facility in Hardenberg in the Netherlands. This acquisition provides Emeco Europe with an ideally located platform from which to exploit the considerable opportunities available to our sales and procurement businesses into Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. It also provides a base from which to evaluate the establishment of rental and parts businesses in the region. Following the acquisition of Euro Machinery, Emeco’s primary focus was on integrating the Euro Machinery business into Emeco, completing the Hardenberg facility and recruiting additional staff to support Emeco’s growth plans for the European business. These tasks have now largely been completed and Emeco is well placed to focus on the opportunities available to Emeco’s business units in the region. canaDa The Emeco group’s Canadian business, River Valley, continued its solid growth in FY2007, driven largely by continued penetration of the Alberta oil sands and civil construction sectors. This growth was achieved despite very adverse weather conditions slowing mining and construction activity, with Alberta experiencing one of its longest winters on record. Whilst the Canadian business maintained its growth momentum in the face of these unfavourable conditions, utilisation rates were slightly softer in FY2007 than in FY2006. At the end of FY2006, River Valley had 199 items of rental equipment. By 30 June 2007, this number had increased to 281. Emeco continues to target significant growth in Canada and to diversify its customer base by expanding into the coal, oil and gas sectors in Alberta and the coal and metalliferous mining sectors in British Columbia. Emeco is increasing its capability in the oil sands region and has committed to building a major maintenance facility at Fort McKay in north eastern Alberta to service its fleet deployed in oil sands projects. With the Alberta provincial government recently announcing a major infrastructure development program, Emeco is also well placed to exploit opportunities in the civil construction sector. uniteD states FY2007 saw the Emeco Group continuing to grow its presence in the United States with the acquisition of a large package of heavy earth moving equipment from TSM North America Inc. and the opening of an office in London, Kentucky. In order to support Emeco’s growth aspirations for the Appalachian rental business, Emeco is expanding its operations in London, Kentucky with the construction of a new maintenance workshop which is expected to be completed in late 2007. The US business has continued to target rental opportunities in the Appalachian region and has recently concluded several rental agreements with coal miners. The performance of Emeco’s US sales businesses based in Houston, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia was relatively flat in 2007 due largely to softness in the US domestic economy. 14 reconciliation oF Pro-Forma anD statutory results The following table provides a reconciliation of the pro-forma information set out in the tables appearing on pages 12 to 15 above. statutory results pro-forma adjustment pro-forma actual FY 2007 FY 2007 FY 2007 205.9 127.1 59.5 56.1 1.4 1.4 18.7 18.7 207.3 128.5 78.2 74.7 EBITDA EBITA NPATA NPAT The $1.4M pro-forma adjustment relates to a one off performance bonus which was paid to senior management pursuant to the Company’s IPO.

EBITDA ROFE of 27.8% and EBITA ROFE of 17.3% in the year ended 30 June 2007 are below historical averages due mainly to the additional investments in inventory and expanding Emeco’s offshore operations and capability. 15 investor inFormation emeco holdings limited ACN: 112 188 815 registereD oFFice Ground Floor, 10 Ord Street West Perth WA 6005 Telephone: (08) 9420 0222 Facsimile: (08) 9321 1366 Directors Robin Adair Alec Brennan Laurie Freedman Peter Johnston Paul McCullagh Greg Minton secretary Michael Kirkpatrick share registry Link Market Services Limited Level 12, 680 George Street Sydney NSW 2000 Telephone: 1300 554 474 www.linkmarketservices.com.au auDitors KPMG, 152–158 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 stock exchange listing Emeco Holdings Ltd ordinary shares are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Ltd.

The policy is also designed to minimise the chance that misunderstandings or suspicions arise regarding employees trading while in possession of non-public price sensitive information by imposing restrictions on employees and officers in relation to the trading of the Company’s shares. Copies of the Code of Conduct and the Share Trading policy are available on the Emeco website. 19 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs dirEctors’ rEport For the year ended 30 June 2007 Principle 4 safeguard integrity in financial reporting For FY2007 the managing director, mr Freedman, and the Chief Financial officer, mr Adair, provided the Company with the declaration prescribed by section 295A(2) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Principle 7 recognise and manage risk Emeco Holdings Ltd accepts that risk is an unavoidable part of the Emeco Group’s activities. However, the Company actively manages risk in order to optimise outcomes for shareholders and other stakeholders and ensure the integrity of the Group’s financial statements. The Board of the Company has adopted a risk management policy which describes: • • • the principal risks for the Emeco Group; the Group’s risk management framework and controls; and the role and respective accountabilities of the Board, the Audit and risk Committee and Emeco Group management within the risk management framework. The Audit and risk Committee is responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of the overall risk management framework. it is also required to review the risk management policy on an annual basis. Emeco has established a group corporate assurance unit to assist management to ensure the Emeco Group’s control systems are operating effectively.

The review was undertaken using a comprehensive questionnaire, the scope of which covered the performance of the board, its committees, the Chairman and individual directors. directors’ questionnaire responses (other than in relation to the Chairman) were collated and analysed by the Chairman and, where appropriate, discussed with the board. An analysis of the questionnaire results was presented to the board by the Chairman. in relation to the Chairman, directors’ questionnaire responses were collated and analysed by the managing director and discussed with the Board. The performance of the managing director is constantly monitored by the non-executive directors. Formal reviews of the performance of each senior manager within the Emeco Group are conducted by the managing director in August/ September each year. These performance reviews provide the managing director and each senior manager with the opportunity not only to review the manager’s performance but also to review and assess the manager’s personal and professional development objectives. Principle 9 remunerate fairly and responsibly The Emeco Group remuneration policy is substantially reflected in the objectives of the remuneration and nomination Committee. The Committee’s objectives are to endeavour to ensure that: • • the directors and senior management of the Group are remunerated fairly and appropriately; the remuneration policies and outcomes strike an appropriate balance between the interests of the Company’s shareholders, and rewarding and motivating the Group’s executives and employees in order to secure the long term benefits of their energy and loyalty; and the human resources policies and practices are consistent with and complementary to the strategic direction and human resources objectives of the Company as determined by the Board. • under its Charter, the remuneration and nomination Committee is required to review and make recommendations to the Board about: • the general remuneration strategy for the Group so that it motivates the Group’s executives and employees to pursue the long term growth and success of the Group and establishes a fair and transparent relationship between individual performance and remuneration; the terms of remuneration for the executive directors and other senior management of the Group from time to time including the criteria for assessing performance; the outcomes of remuneration reviews for executives collectively, and the individual reviews for the executive directors, and other senior management of the Group; remuneration reviews for executive and non-executive directors; changes in remuneration policy and practices, including superannuation and other benefits; employee equity plans and allocations under those plans; and the disclosure of remuneration requirements in the Company’s public materials including ASx filings and the annual report. • • • • • • A remuneration report detailing the information required by section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to FY2007 is included in the directors’ report.

Principles of remuneration (audited) The Emeco Group remuneration policy is substantially reflected in the objectives of the Board’s remuneration and nomination Committee. The Committee’s objectives are to endeavour to ensure that: • • the directors of the Company and senior management of the Group are remunerated fairly and appropriately; the remuneration policies and outcomes of the Company strike an appropriate balance between the interests of the Company’s shareholders, and rewarding and motivating the Group’s executives and employees in order to secure the long term benefits of their energy and loyalty; and the human resources policies and practices are consistent with and complementary to the strategic direction and human resources objectives of the Company as determined by the Board. • elements of remuneration (audited) The remuneration structure for Emeco’s executives consists of fixed and variable components. Fixed remuneration Fixed remuneration comprises base salary, employer superannuation contributions and other allowances such as motor vehicle allowances and non-cash benefits. Each executive’s fixed remuneration is reviewed and benchmarked against appropriate market comparisons annually in September. The executive’s responsibilities, experience, qualifications, performance and geographic location are also taken into account. Emeco’s broad objective is to set fixed remuneration at levels which ensure the Company is able to attract and retain the best available key executives. The policy of the Company is to set fixed remuneration at levels which attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced executives capable of: • • • maximising Emeco Group earnings and the returns to shareholders. fulfilling their respective roles within the Group; achieving the Group’s strategic objectives; and variable remuneration variable remuneration is performance linked remuneration which consists of short term incentives (stis) and long term incentives (ltis). sti remuneration Short term incentives are used to reward the performance of key management personnel over a full financial year. The maximum achievable STi amount payable to an executive is set as a percentage of fixed remuneration. The actual amount of STi payable is determined at the end of the financial year in light of the executive’s performance against agreed key performance indicators (Kpis). These Kpis are mainly financial in nature and are aligned to the profitability of the Emeco Group. However, some of them relate to non-financial performance in areas considered critical to Emeco’s operations such as: • • • occupational health and safety; people development; and successful implementation of strategic initiatives. The combination of Kpi elements varies amongst executives, however, as a fundamental principle, Kpis are set for each executive’s STi plan on the basis they are aligned with the strategic objectives of the Emeco Group. Kpis therefore generally comprise elements based on the performance of the Emeco Group or a business unit within the Group. in most cases the measurement of Kpis is objectively determined on the basis of financial information or other quantifiable information. For example, where occupational health and safety performance is a Kpi element, an important measure of performance is lost time injury frequency data. Whilst the maximum percentage STi granted to key executives varies, no executive other than the managing director and the Chief Financial officer is entitled to an STi grant which exceeds an amount equal to 50% of the recipient’s annual salary. The majority of key executives are entitled to a maximum STi grant of 30% of annual salary. in accordance with the terms of their respective STi plans, mr Freedman and mr Adair received 100% of their respective STi bonus entitlements for FY2007 because actual earnings per share for FY2007 of 9.3 cents exceeded the upper end of the forecast range of earnings per share of 8.8 cents disclosed in the Company’s prospectus. details of the STi plans for mr Freedman and mr Adair are set out in the section of this report headed “Service Contracts”. 23 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs dirEctors’ rEport For the year ended 30 June 2007 details of the vesting profile of the short term incentive cash grants awarded to executives referred to in Table 4 are set out below: tABLe 4 – key executive sti vestinG inForMAtion in resPect oF Fy2007 nature of sti compensation grant date % of bonus awarded (a) % of bonus forfeited (B) mr L Freedman mr r Adair mr m Bourke mr A Carr mr d Jeffery mr r parish mr T Sauvarin mr d Tilbrook mr m Turner Cash Cash Cash Cash Cash Cash Cash Cash Cash 27 August 2007 27 August 2007 27 August 2007 27 August 2007 27 August 2007 27 August 2007 27 August 2007 27 August 2007 27 August 2007 100% 100% 0% 100% 0% 0% 66.7% 100% 100% 0% 0% 100% 0% 100% 100% 33.3% 0% 0% notes: (A) Amounts included in remuneration for FY2007 represent the amount that vested in the year based on the achievement of Kpis. no amounts vest in future financial years in respect of the bonus scheme for FY2007. (B) Amounts forfeited are due to the Kpis not being met in relation to FY2007. lti remuneration in FY2007, LTis did not form part of the remuneration of any key executives other than mr Freedman and mr Adair. The absence of an LTi program for these executives was considered acceptable because the majority of them retained significant shareholdings in the Company. These shareholdings, which had been accumulated prior to the Company’s ipo, were considered to adequately align their interests with the interests of the Company and its shareholders. However, following the ipo it was determined that an LTi plan should be implemented which provides Emeco’s senior managers with an ongoing incentive to achieve the long term objectives of the Emeco Group. Accordingly, an LTi plan for the Emeco Group’s senior management has been developed for implementation in FY2008. The LTi plan has the following key features: • • • Each year Emeco will grant unvested fully paid Emeco performance shares to individual executives, with the number of shares granted being determined by reference to the seniority of the executive and the value of this issue as a percentage of the executive’s salary. performance shares are granted at a nil exercise price and vest 3 years after issue if the performance condition described below is met. The performance condition for the vesting of performance rights is a performance hurdle based on relative total shareholder return (tsr). Emeco’s TSr during the vesting period will be measured against a peer group consisting of a group of 12 companies that are considered direct peers to Emeco and in addition, the S&p/ASx Small industrials (excluding banks, insurance companies, property trusts/companies and investment property trusts/companies and other stapled securities). The peer group has in total 105 companies. TSr for Emeco and each company in the peer group is calculated by reference to share price growth, dividends and capital returns. Three years after the performance shares are granted, TSr for all companies, including Emeco, will be measured and ranked. performance shares will only vest if a certain TSr performance is achieved. There is a maximum and minimum vesting range and vesting occurs as follows: (a) (b) (c) (d) if Emeco’s TSr is less than the TSr of 50% of the companies of the peer Group then no performance shares will vest. if Emeco’s TSr is equal to the TSr of 50.1% of the companies of the peer Group then 50% of the performance shares will vest. if Emeco’s TSr is equal to the TSr of 75% of the companies of the peer Group then 100% of the performance shares will vest. if Emeco’s TSr is equal to the TSr of between 50% and 75% of the companies of the peer Group then an extra 2% of the performance shares granted vest for each percentile increase in Emeco’s TSr above the 50th percentile. performance shares that have not vested after the end of the performance period will be bought back or transferred to a nominee of the Company. A separate LTi plan is in place for mr Freedman and mr Adair. on 4 August 2006, following the successful completion of the ipo, the Company issued 4,800,000 options to mr Freedman and 1,600,000 options to mr Adair under the Company’s Employee incentive plan. Each option granted to mr Freedman and mr Adair (option) entitles the holder to subscribe for an ordinary Emeco share at a price of $1.925, which is 2.5 cents above the ipo issue price. The options vest in three equal tranches and are subject to the following vesting conditions: • for the financial year ending 30 June 2007, 1/3 of the options vest on the date of release of final audited results for Emeco for that year, provided that Emeco Holdings has achieved actual earnings per share equal to or greater than the prospectus forecast earnings per share for FY2007; for the financial year ending 30 June 2008, 1/3 of the options will vest on the date that final audited results for Emeco that year are released, provided that Emeco Holdings has achieved actual earnings per share equal to or greater than 110% of the prospectus forecast earnings per share for FY2007; and for the financial year ending 30 June 2009, 1/3 of the options will vest on the date that final audited results for Emeco for that year are released, provided that Emeco Holdings has achieved actual earnings per share equal to or greater than 121% of the prospectus forecast earnings per share for FY2007. • • mr Freedman’s options vest only if he holds the position of managing director of the Company at the time of vesting. mr Adair’s options vest only if he is an employee of the Company at the time of vesting or he is subject to a deemed termination, ie the Company materially and substantially changes his duties beyond the duties ordinarily performed by a Chief Financial officer, other than with his agreement, or the Company is removed from the official list of the ASx. The options issued to mr Freedman and mr Adair expire on 4 August 2011, 5 years after their date of issue. in accordance with the terms of their respective LTi plans, mr Freedman and mr Adair received 100% of their respective LTi bonus entitlements for FY2007 because actual earnings per share for FY2007 of 9.3 cents exceeded the upper end of the forecast range of earnings per share of 8.8 cents disclosed in the Company’s prospectus.

(B) mr parish was issued 300,000 ordinary shares in Emeco (uK) Ltd on 5 September 2005 which had an identical value to the shares in Emeco Holdings Ltd. As part of the corporate reorganisation which occurred prior to the ipo, mr parish’s shares in Emeco (uK) Ltd were acquired by Emeco Holdings Ltd in exchange for shares in Emeco Holdings Ltd and on the same terms as those on which he held the shares in Emeco (uK) Ltd. 26 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs dirEctors’ rEport For the year ended 30 June 2007 Key terms and conditions of the issue of shares to mr Brennan under the miSp are as follows: • in accordance with the terms of the miSp the Company provided mr Brennan with an interest-free, limited recourse loan (loan) to enable him to subscribe for the miSp shares. All of the shares were deemed to have vested as of 30 June 2007. vesting of the miSp shares was brought forward in order to ensure mr. Brennan received adequate compensation as a director and, as from 28 november 2006, chairman of the Company. if mr Brennan’s appointment as a director is terminated, the Company must buy back all of his vested miSp shares or transfer them to a nominee of the board and pay to mr Brennan a purchase price equal to their market value, subject to the Company setting off the Loan amount outstanding in respect of the vested shares. Subject to the approval of the board, the Loan can be repaid at any time but must be repaid by the tenth anniversary of the commencement date of the miSp. Any dividends or capital distributions which may become payable in respect of the miSp shares may be applied by the Company in reducing the amount of the loan. • • • • Key terms and conditions of the issue of shares to mr parish, mr Bourke and mr Carr (participants) under the miSp are as follows: • in accordance with the terms of the miSp, the Company provided each participant with an interest-free, limited recourse loan (loan) to enable him to subscribe for the miSp shares. The shares vest over a 5 year period with the first 6.25% of the shares vesting 2 years after the issue date. The shares then vest on an annual basis until all of the shares have vested on the 5th anniversary of their issue. if a participant’s employment with the Emeco Group is terminated prior to all of his miSp shares vesting, then in relation to those shares which have not vested, the Company is required to buy them back, cancel them or transfer them to a nominee at a price equal to the Loan amount outstanding in respect of them and to set off the payment against the Loan amount owed to the Company. in relation to those shares which have vested, the Company must buy them back or transfer them to a nominee of the board and pay to the participant a purchase price equal to their market value, subject to the Company setting off the Loan amount outstanding in respect of the vested shares. Subject to the approval of the board, the Loan can be repaid at any time but must be repaid by the tenth anniversary of the commencement date of the miSp. Any dividends or capital distributions which may become payable in respect of the miSp shares may be applied by the Company in reducing the amount of the loan. • • • • The share issues under the miSp to mr Brennan and the participants, and the time based vesting conditions in respect of the shares, were not dependent on the satisfaction of a performance condition because the issue of shares to them and the inclusion of time based vesting conditions in the terms of issue were intended to provide them with an incentive to remain with the Emeco Group. That is, the terms upon which the shares were issued to mr Brennan and the participants were intended to operate as a retention incentive arrangement rather than a performance incentive arrangement. service contracts (audited) Except as outlined below, each of the key executives named in Table 5 are employed pursuant to contracts which provide for an indefinite term and which are terminable on either party giving 6 months’ notice or on the payment to the executive of up to 6 months’ salary in lieu of notice. no termination payments other than salary in lieu of notice and accrued statutory leave entitlements are payable under these contracts. mr Bourke is employed pursuant to a contract which provides for an indefinite term and which is terminable on either party giving 3 months’ notice or on the payment to the executive of up to 3 months’ salary in lieu of notice. no termination payments other than salary in lieu of notice and accrued statutory leave entitlements are payable under mr Bourke’s contract. mr Jeffery was employed by Emeco Equipment (uSA) LLC pursuant to a contract which provides for a fixed term expiring on 31 december 2008, subject to either party being able to give 6 months notice or on the payment by Emeco Equipment (uSA) LLC to mr Jeffery of up to 6 months’ salary in lieu of notice. no termination payments other than salary in lieu of notice and accrued leave entitlements are payable. mr Jeffery resigned from his employment with Emeco on 23 July 2007. mr Freedman’s contract provides that he is to act as managing director of the Group until at least 31 december 2008. under this contract, mr Freedman’s remuneration has been structured so that he receives a base amount of $850,000 per annum (exclusive of superannuation and other entitlements outlined in his contract), together with the capacity to qualify for an STi performance bonus each year of up to 100% of the base amount calculated by reference to the earnings per share performance of Emeco Holdings. The contract may be terminated by either mr Freedman or Emeco upon provision of 12 months notice of termination, although mr Freedman has agreed that he will not provide such notice until at least 1 January 2008. Emeco may also terminate mr Freedman’s employment immediately, by making a payment in lieu of 12 months remuneration package, which would be the total of his base amount, plus superannuation and car allowance, being an amount of approximately $1,122,000. mr Adair’s contract provides that he is to act as Chief Financial officer of the Group until at least 30 June 2009. under his contract, mr Adair’s remuneration has been structured so that he receives a base amount of $450,000 per annum (exclusive of superannuation and other entitlements outlined in his contract), together with the capacity to qualify for an STi performance bonus each year of up to 50% of the base amount calculated by reference to the earnings per share performance of Emeco Holdings. The contract may be terminated by either mr Adair or Emeco upon provision of 12 months’ notice of termination although mr Adair has agreed that he will not provide such notice until at least 1 January 2009. Emeco may also terminate mr Adair’s employment immediately by making a payment in lieu of 12 months’ remuneration package, which would be the total of his base amount, plus superannuation and car allowance, being an amount of approximately $585,000. if mr Adair’s duties are materially altered during the term of his employment or Emeco Holdings de-lists from the ASx, mr Adair may receive payment equal to 12 months of his base amount plus the maximum performance bonus amount for the relevant financial year. in addition, the options then granted to mr Adair will immediately vest. 27 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs dirEctors’ rEport For the year ended 30 June 2007 non–executive directors (audited) A maximum amount of $1,200,000 pa is currently prescribed in the Company’s constitution as the total aggregate remuneration available to non- executive directors. The remuneration of all of the non-executive directors other than mr Brennan and mr minton comprised a cash director’s fee of $100,000 pa, inclusive of superannuation contributions. An additional fee of $7,500 pa is paid to any director who is a member of a board committee; this fee is increased to $10,000pa for a director who chairs a committee. mr minton was chairman of the Company until 28 november 2006 when he stood down. during this time, mr minton was paid a Chairman’s fee of $175,000 pa. mr minton continued as a director of the Company after 28 november 2006, from which time he was paid the standard director’s fee and committee membership fee in respect of his membership of the audit committee. mr Alec Brennan became chairman of the Company on 28 november 2006. prior to that date he was a director. mr Brennan received no cash fees during FY2007; however, he continued to receive the benefit of the issue to him in August 2005 of 500,000 shares in the Company under the terms of the Company’s management incentive Share plan (misp). in accordance with the terms of the miSp, the Company provided mr Brennan with an interest free loan to fund the purchase of the shares, the key terms of which are described below. The issue of these shares to mr Brennan and the vesting of the shares does not depend on a performance condition as they have been issued in lieu of cash remuneration. Further details regarding the issue of shares to mr Brennan are set out previously. in addition to the remuneration described above, mr Fitton and mr Brennan received a one off $50,000 fee for the additional work they undertook during the ipo. mr Fitton was paid this fee in cash. mr Brennan elected to receive the fee in the form of shares in the Company. remuneration and the company’s performance (unaudited) The Company was incorporated as a proprietary company on 14 december 2004. it is therefore not possible to discuss the relationship between the Company’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance for the previous 4 financial years. However, based on the pro-forma historical information set out in section 7 of the prospectus, and the consolidated results set out in the Company’s financial statements for FY2007, the Emeco Group has achieved a compound annual growth rate in pro-forma EBiTA of 39.1% for the period from FY2003 to FY2007. The directors consider that the remuneration policies of the Emeco Group while it was privately held and since the ipo have been successful in aligning the interests of the senior managers with the interests of the Emeco Group and its shareholders. This success is reflected in the earnings growth of the Group. The directors also consider that the remuneration policies and practices adopted and approved by the Emeco Holdings Ltd remuneration Committee for the Emeco Group’s directors, secretary and senior managers for FY2007 provided them with appropriate rewards and motivated them to continue to perform in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. in FY2007, the Company’s share price declined from the ipo price of $1.90 to $1.64 as at close of trading on 30 June 2007. However, the Emeco Group’s EBiTA increased in FY2007 by 43.7% from the pro-forma results for FY2006. This increase in EBiTA is in part attributable to the Company’s remuneration policies and the alignment of management’s interests with those of the Company and its shareholders. The primary means available to the Company to grow shareholder wealth, whether by way of dividend distributions or increases in the Company’s share price, is to continue to increase earnings. in this regard, the Company has continued to grow earnings at a rapid rate in each of the past 5 financial years. The Company will continue to adopt remuneration policies and practices which reward strong financial performance. inDeMniFicAtion AnD insurAnce oF Directors, oFFicers AnD AuDitors The Company has entered into a deed of access, indemnity and insurance with each of its current and former directors and the Company Secretary. under the terms of the deed, the Company indemnifies the officer or former officer, to the extent permitted by law, for liabilities incurred as an officer of the Company. The deed provides that the Company must advance the officer reasonable costs incurred by the officer in defending certain proceedings or appearing before an inquiry or hearing of a government agency. Since the end of the previous financial year, the Company has paid premiums in respect of contracts insuring the current and former directors and officers of the Emeco Group, including senior executives, against liabilities incurred by such a director, officer or executive to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contracts of insurance prohibit disclosure of the nature of the liability cover and the amount of the premium. The Emeco Group has not indemnified its auditors, KpmG. non-AuDit services during the year, KpmG, the Company’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: • • all non-audit services were subject to the Corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company; the non audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in professional Statement F1 professional independence, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditors own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing the risks and rewards. A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included in the director’s report. details of fees paid to the Company’s auditors for non audit services are found in note 7 of the financial report. 28 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs dirEctors’ rEport For the year ended 30 June 2007 rounDinG The amounts contained in this report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest $1,000 (where rounding is applicable) under the option available to the Company under ASiC Class order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998.

EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 1 rePortinG entity Emeco Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is Ground Floor, 10 ord Street, West perth WA 6005. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2007 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities. The Group primarily is involved in the rental, sales and maintenance of heavy earthmoving equipment. 2 BAsis oF PrePArAtion (a) statement of compliance The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Accounting interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with the iFrSs and interpretations adopted by the international Accounting Standards Board. The Company’s financial report does not comply with iFrSs as the Company has elected to apply the relief provided to parent entities by AASB 132 Financial instruments: presentation and disclosure in respect of certain disclosure requirements. The financial statements were approved by the Board of directors on 29 August 2007. (b) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following: • • derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements are measured at fair value. • • The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 4. (c) Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and the functional currency of the majority of the Group. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASiC Class order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. (d) use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 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 and in any future periods affected. 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 in the following notes: • note 30 – business combinations 36 • note 17 – measurement of the recoverable amounts of cash-generating units • note 32 – measurement of share based-payments • note 28 – contingencies • note 27 – valuation of financial instruments • note 10 – utilisation of tax losses. 3 siGniFicAnt AccountinG PoLicies Except as described in note 3(j)(v), the accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. The entity has elected to early adopt the following accounting standards and amendments: • AASB 101 presentation of Financial Statements (october 2006) in the prior financial year the Group adopted AASB 132: Financial instruments: disclosure and presentation and AASB 139: Financial instruments: recognition and measurement in accordance with the transitional rules of AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to international Financial reporting Standards. This change has been accounted for by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings and reserves at 1 July 2005, as disclosed in the reconciliation of movements in equity (refer note 25). (a) Basis of consolidation (i) subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. in assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. in the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. (ii) Acquisitions from entities under common control Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established; for this purpose comparatives are restated. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the Group’s controlling shareholder’s consolidated financial statements. The components of equity of the acquired entities are added to the same components within Group equity. Any cash paid for the acquisition is recognised directly in equity. (iii) Associates and joint ventures (equity accounted investees) Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Associates and joint ventures, including partnerships, are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees). The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long- EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. At year end there are no investments in associates. (iv) transactions eliminated on consolidation intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (b) Foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. (ii) Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised directly in equity. Since 14 december 2004, the Group’s date of incorporation and transition to AASBs, such differences have been recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTr). When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTr is transferred to profit or loss. (c) Financial instruments (i) non-derivative financial instruments non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in note 3(n). (ii) Derivative financial instruments The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below. Cash flow hedges Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. if the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity remains there until the forecast transaction occurs. When the hedged item is a non- financial asset, the amount recognised in equity is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when it is recognised. in other cases the amount recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. (iii) share capital ordinary shares incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. dividends other dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. (d) Property, plant and equipment (i) recognition and measurement items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment at 14 december 2004, the date of incorporation and transition to AASBs, was determined by reference to its fair value at that date. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. (ii) subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 37 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 3 siGniFicAnt AccountinG PoLicies (f) Leased assets (ConTinuEd) (iii) Depreciation items of property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, are depreciated over their estimated useful lives and are charged to the income statement. Estimates of remaining useful lives, residual values and the depreciation method are made on a regular basis, with annual re-assessments for major items. Assets are depreciated from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and held ready for use. Where subsequent expenditure is capitalised into the asset, the estimated useful life of the total new asset is reassessed and depreciation charged accordingly. depreciation on buildings, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixture and fittings, office equipment, motor vehicles and sundry plant is calculated on a straight-line basis. depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on machine hours worked over their estimated useful life. The expected useful lives is as follows: Leasehold improvements plant and Equipment Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings office Equipment motor vehicles Sundry plant 15 years 3 – 15 years 10 years 3 – 10 years 5 years 7 – 10 years (e) intangible assets (i) Goodwill Goodwill (negative goodwill) arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Acquisitions on or after 1 January 2003 For acquisitions on or after 1 January 2003, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), it is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Acquisitions of minority interests Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a minority interest in a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of the additional investment over the carrying amount of the net assets acquired at the date of exchange. Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. (ii) other intangible assets other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. (iii) subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss when incurred. (iv) Amortisation Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: • • contract intangibles software 0 – 3 years 0 – 3 years 38 Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. other leases are operating leases and are not recognised on the Group’s balance sheet. (g) inventories inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. in the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. (h) construction work in progress Construction work in progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. it is measured at cost plus profit recognised to date less progress billings and recognised losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group’s contract activities based on normal operating capacity. Construction work in progress is presented as part of trade and other receivables in the balance sheet. if payments received from customers exceed the income recognised, then the difference is presented as deferred income in the balance sheet. (i) impairment (i) Financial assets A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on a individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. (ii) non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. if any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date. EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. impairment losses recognised in respect of cash- generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. in assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. in respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Goodwill assets were tested for impairment at 30 June 2007 as part of the Company’s process of annually testing goodwill for impairment. no impairment was recognised. (j) employee benefits (i) Defined contribution superannuation funds obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they are due. (ii) other long-term employee benefits The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on costs: that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on Commonwealth Government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. (iii) termination benefits Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to terminate employment before the normal retirement date. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised if the Group has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. (iv) short-term benefits Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax. non-accumulating non-monetary benefits, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services, are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the Group as the benefits are taken by the employees. A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. (v) share based payment transactions (a) A management incentive share plan allows certain consolidated entity employees to acquire shares of the Company. The grant date fair value of the shares granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the shares. The fair value of the shares granted is measured using a black scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the shares were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of shares that vest except where forfeiture is only due to shares prices not achieving the threshold for vesting. Employees have been granted a limited recourse 10 year interest free loan in which to acquire the shares. The loan has not been recognised by the Company as the Company only has recourse to the value of the shares. (b) The share option programme allows certain consolidated entity employees to acquire shares of the Company. The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using an option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting. Change in accounting policy The Company has applied Australian interpretation 11 Scope AASB 2 Group and Treasury Share Transactions (interpretation 11) for the first time from 1 July 2006. under interpretation 11, when the Company grants options, or entitlements under its management incentive share plan, over its shares to employees of subsidiaries, the fair value at grant date is recognised as an increase in the investments in subsidiaries, with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period of the grant. previously, such grants were attributed to the employing subsidiary, but were not recognised in the Company. The change in accounting policy was applied retrospectively to share-based payment transactions that were granted after 7 november 2002, with a vesting date on or after 1 January 2005, in accordance with the transitional provisions of AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to international Financial reporting Standards. The change in accounting policy increased the Company’s investments in subsidiaries and retained earnings by $88,000 as at 30 June 2007 (2006: nil). The change in policy had no impact on the Company’s retained earnings for prior periods. The change had no impact on net profit or earnings per share on the Group’s result. (k) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. 39 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 3 siGniFicAnt AccountinG PoLicies (ConTinuEd) (l) revenue Goods sold revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. (m) Lease payments payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. (n) Finance income and expenses Finance income comprises interest income, dividend income, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and foreign currency gains. interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. dividend income is recognised on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date. Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, foreign currency losses and impairment losses recognised on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. (o) income tax income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that they probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future. deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilised. deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised. (i) tax consolidation The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 16 december 2004 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Emeco Holdings Limited. Current tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax – consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries is assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised by the company as amounts payable (receivable) to/(from) other entities in the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts (refer below). Any difference between these amounts is recognised by the Company as an equity contribution or distribution. The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only. (ii) nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing arrangements The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax- consolidated group, has entered into a tax funding arrangement which sets out the funding obligations of members of the tax- consolidated group in respect of tax amounts. The tax funding arrangements require payments to/from the head entity equal to the current tax liability/(asset) assumed by the head entity and any tax-loss deferred tax asset assumed by the head entity, resulting in the head entity recognising an inter-entity receivable/ (payable) equal in amount to the tax liability/(asset) assumed. The inter-entity receivable/(payable) are at call. Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable as per the tax funding arrangement and reflect the timing of the head entity’s obligation to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities. The head entity in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group, has also entered into a tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. no amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement is considered remote. 40 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 (p) Goods and services tax revenue, 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 authority. in these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATo is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATo are classified as operating cash flows. (q) earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EpS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EpS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. diluted EpS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes, management performance shares, and share options granted to employees. (r) segment reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The Group’s primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments.

Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. (i) Property, plant and equipment The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. (ii) intangible assets The fair value of contract intangibles acquired in a business combination is based on the discounted estimated net future cash flows that are expected to arise as a result of the contracts that are in place when the business combination was finalised. (iii) inventory The fair value of inventory acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventory. The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in progress, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. (v) Derivatives The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on the discounted value of the difference between the rate the forward exchange contract was entered and the year end exchange rate. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. (vi) non-derivative financial liabilities Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. (vii) share-based payment transactions The fair value of employee share options and management incentive plan shares are measured using an option pricing model. measurement inputs include share price on issue, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility, weighted average expected life of the instruments, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value. 5 other incoMe net profit on sale of non current assets (1) ineffective portion of cash flow hedges Bad debt recovered Sundry income dividend received consolidated consolidated the company the company 07 $'000 11,687 454 591 1,303 – 14,035 06 $'000 552 869 – 309 – 1,730 07 $'000 – – – – 7,500 7,500 06 $'000 – – – – – – (1) included in net profit on the sale of non current assets is the sale of rental equipment which occurs in the ordinary course of business. 42 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 6 ProFit BeFore incoMe tAx exPense profit from ordinary activities before income tax expense has been arrived at after charging/ (crediting) the following items: Cost of sale of machines and parts Write-down in value of inventories depreciation of: – buildings – plant and equipment – owned – plant and equipment – leased – furniture fittings and fixtures – office equipment – motor vehicles – leasehold improvements – sundry plant Amortisation of: – contract intangible – other intangibles Total depreciation and amortisation Financial expenses: – bank loans and overdrafts – exchangeable notes – finance leases – amortisation of debt establishment costs – loss on extinguishment of debt (1) – other facility costs Financial income: – interest revenue net financial expenses net foreign exchange (gain)/loss consolidated consolidated the company the company 07 $'000 06 $'000 07 $'000 06 $'000 204,505 4,951 133,368 1,696 227 72,827 2,274 161 415 1,544 311 1,101 78,860 3,279 143 3,422 82,282 18,898 4,490 915 476 18,848 889 44,516 (822) 43,694 423 167 47,557 3,807 104 357 1,122 240 651 54,005 10,302 207 10,509 64,514 24,858 12,603 1,459 3,602 – 2,270 44,792 (1,184) 43,608 (264) – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 16 – – – 1,802 – 1,818 – 1,818 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – (1) due to the extinguishment of the groups existing debt facilities and exchangeable notes, the associated deferred borrowing costs, and the discount on conversion of notes to shares in the Company have been expensed during the year. 43 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 7 AuDitor’s reMunerAtion audit services Auditors of the Company KpmG Australia: – audit and review of financial reports overseas KpmG Firms: – audit and review of financial reports – other assurance services other services Auditors of the Company KpmG Australia: – transaction services (2) – taxation services overseas KpmG Firms: – taxation services – transaction services (1) – accounting assistance consolidated consolidated the company the company 07 $ 06 $ 07 $ 06 $ 357,500 333,000 357,500 333,000 238,700 6,500 602,700 169,360 7,560 509,920 113,013 297,115 262,917 262,000 – 935,045 1,537,745 1,055,000 369,160 115,862 62,512 19,394 1,621,928 2,131,848 – – 357,500 48,099 – – – – 48,099 405,599 – – 333,000 975,000 – – – – 975,000 1,308,000 (1) included in these amounts are fees for transaction and assurance services for business combinations for the Group totalling $262,000 (2006: nil).

The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends. The impact on the dividend franking account of dividends proposed after the balance sheet date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by $6,763,000 (2006: nil). in accordance with the tax consolidation legislation, the Company as the head entity in the tax-consolidated group has also assumed the benefit of $16,708,000 (2006: $15,873,000) franking credits. 12 seGMent rePortinG Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s business and geographical segments. The primary format, business segments, is based on the Group’s management and internal reporting structure. inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Group does not require collateral in respect of financial assets. Transactions involved derivatives are principally with large global banks, who are members of the syndicated debt facility and have sound credit ratings. management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. Concentration of credit risk on trade and term debtors exists in respect to the mining industry. However this risk is mitigated through a debtors insurance policy held over a significant portion of these debtors. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivatives in the balance sheet. other than the concentration of credit risk described above, the Group is not materially exposed to any individual country. interest rate risk The Group’s variable-rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that a minimum of 50 percent of its exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is on a fixed rate basis. interest rate swaps, denominated in Australian and Canadian dollars, have been entered into to achieve an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate exposure within the Group’s policy. The swaps mature over the next three years following the maturity of the related loans (see the following table) and have fixed swap rates ranging from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent. At 30 June 2007, the Group had interest rate swaps with a notional contract amount of $184.0m (2006: $224.0m). The Group designates interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The net fair value of the Group’s swaps at 30 June 2007 was $2,907,000 (2006: $2,576,000) comprising assets of $2,907,000 (2006: $2,576,000) and liabilities of nil (2006: nil).

The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily u.S. dollars, Japanese Yen and Euro. The Group hedges all trade receivables and trade payables which are denominated in a foreign currency and greater than $50,000. The Group uses forward exchanges contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk. most of the forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year. in respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the Aud, the Group ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by matching foreign denominated financial assets with matching financial liabilities and vice versa. Forecast transactions The Group classifies its forward exchange contracts hedging forecast transactions as cash flow hedges. The fair value of forward exchange contracts at 1 July 2005 was adjusted against the opening balance of the hedging reserve at that date. The net fair value of forward exchange contracts used as hedges of forecast transactions at 30 June 2007 was $1,598,000 (2006: $389,000), comprising assets of $9,000 (2006: $439,000) and liabilities of $1,607,000 (2006: $50,000). The following table sets out the gross value to be received under forward foreign currency contracts, the weighted average contracted exchange rates and the settlement years of outstanding contracts for the Group. The net gain/(loss) position is carried in the balance sheet as a cash flow hedge. not later than one year Sell uS dollars/Buy Australian dollars Sell Euro dollars/Buy Australian dollars Sell Australian dollars/Buy uS dollars Sell Australian dollars/Buy new Zealand dollars Sell Australian dollars/Buy Japanese Yen consolidated 07 $’000 3,200 111 16,632 – 7,047 weighted average rate 0.84 0.63 0.77 – 103.07 consolidated 06 $’000 gains/ (losses) weighted average rate 9 – (1,528) – (79) 0.74 0.61 0.76 1.19 84.47 $’000 1,571 741 12,270 295 775 $’000 gains/ (losses) (6) (30) 439 (8) (6) net fair values of financial assets and liabilities valuation approach net fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined by the Group on the following basis: recognised financial instruments monetary financial assets and liabilities not readily traded in an organised financial market are determined by valuing them at the present value of contractual future cash flows on amounts due from customers (reduced for expected credit losses) or due to suppliers. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, except the exchangeable notes, approximate net fair value. 28 continGent LiABiLities details of contingent liabilities where the probability of future payments/receipts is not considered remote as set out below, as well as details of contingent liabilities, which although considered remote, the directors consider should be disclosed.

The Company has calculated earnings per share on profits before any allocation to the minority interest but has not included the weighted average ordinary shares of the minority interest in the calculation. in the prior year the weighted average ordinary shares of the minority interest were included in the calculation as there was an equalisation agreement that had been entered into between the Company and the minority interest, Emeco (uK) Limited, whereby the Company and the minority interest had guaranteed security and returns over each others performance. The equalisation deed was subsequently terminated as a result of the Company’s initial public offering, whereby the Company also acquired 100% ownership of the minority interest. (refer note 30). upon termination of the equalisation agreement, the minority interest was no longer able to share in the performance of the Group, and therefore its shares have not been included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares from that date. weighted average number of ordinary shares consolidated consolidated in thousands of shares issued ordinary shares at 1 July Effect of shares issued during the year Effect of conversion of performance shares Effect of 2:1 share split Weighted average number of ordinary shares at 30 June 07 166,401 237,716 16,323 183,056 603,496 06 150,000 29,457 – – 179,457 75 EmEco Holdings limitEd and its controllEd EntitiEs notEs to tHE Financial statEmEnts For the year ended 30 June 2007 35 eArninGs Per shAre (ConTinuEd) Diluted earnings per share The calculation of diluted earnings per share at 30 June 2007 was based on profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of $56,094,000 (2006: $22,670,000) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2007 of 609,299,000 (2006: 197,457,000). options are considered potential ordinary shares and have been included in the dilutive earnings per share. weighted average number of ordinary shares (diluted) consolidated consolidated in thousands of shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares at 30 June Effect of conversion of A & B management performance shares Effect of conversion of options Weighted average number of ordinary shares (diluted) at 30 June note 24 Earnings per share for continuing operations Basic earnings per share in Aud From continuing operations diluted earnings per share in Aud From continuing operations comparative information 07 603,496 – 5,803 609,299 06 179,457 18,000 – 197,457 0.093 0.126 0.092 0.115 The average market value of the Company’s shares for the purpose of calculating the dilutive effect of share options was based on quoted market prices for the period that options were outstanding. 36 DeeD oF cross GuArAntee pursuant to ASiC Class order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed below are relieved from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports, and directors’ report. it is a condition of the Class order that the Company and each of the subsidiaries enter into a deed of Cross Guarantee.

As permitted by the Corporations regulations 2001, the Company has disclosed information about the remuneration of directors and executives (remuneration disclosures), required by Australian Accounting Standard AASB 124 related party disclosures, under the heading “remuneration report” in the directors’ report and not in the financial report. We have audited these remuneration disclosures. Directors’ responsibility for the financial report and the AAsB 124 remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. in note 2(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report of the Group, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with international Financial reporting Standards but that the financial report of the Company does not comply. The directors of the Company are also responsible for the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report. Auditor’s responsibility our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. our responsibility is also to express an opinion on the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report based on our audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report and the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report and the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report, whether due to fraud or error. in making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report and the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report.
