Vince De Santis Chairman Dear Fellow Shareholders, A challenging year While continuing to operate in an environment where the timely supply of materials, and the recruitment and retention of people remained difficult, another year of top line growth where revenue increased year on year by 15.1% to $217.1 million (FY22: $188.6 million), was a great credit to the hard work and dedication of our people. The Group also endured another year of the cost pressures faced by the broader economy many of which it was unable to fully pass onto customers. This meant that the impressive revenue growth was again not fully reflected on the bottom line. Some of the Group’s current key focus areas are on gross margin improvement and achieving better returns on the capital deployed within each Group business unit. Our net profit before tax also improved by 22.2% to $5.5 million (FY22: $4.5 million) although it is important to also acknowledge that the FY22 result was a very disappointing low point in a declining profitability performance over recent years. While the improved profit and associated return on capital generated in FY23 still remained unsatisfactory, we are optimistic that it represents the recommencement of a sustainable positive trend. Stable platform for growth Another positive aspect of the full year result was the significant improvement achieved in the second half of the year after a small loss was recorded in the first half. Pleasingly, we are budgeting for a significant improvement in the Group’s profitability in FY24 although, in a continuation of a trend towards stronger second half Group performances in recent years, it should be noted that a significant proportion of the uplift is once again forecast to be delivered in the second half of the year. Our capital expenditure program was reasonably modest compared with the spending levels of the past few years ($2.6 million compared with $5.4 million in FY22 and $9.9 million in FY21). During FY24, we will continue to invest in building the capacity and capability of the business with a major portion of new capex to be directed towards enabling Gemco to fulfill contracts to assemble new iron ore rail wagons, as well as recently announced plans to establish a new rail wheel bearing shop and wagon assembly facility in Karratha, Western Australia to support a major customer. Net cash generated from operations fell to $3.0 million (down from $10.6 million in FY22), as a result of a sharp rise in net working capital. During the year, we drew down on our $20.0 million National Australia Bank debt facility to help fund our capital expenditure program, general working capital requirements arising from growth within the business, and the ongoing but largely unavoidable time lags between purchasing certain raw materials and inventory from overseas, and the receipt of customer payments. As at the end of FY23, $13.0 million of our facility had been utilised. This facility, which is due to mature on 31 October 2023, has recently been extended by a further year until 31 October 2024. Dividend The Board’s decision to not declare an interim dividend during the year was a disappointing yet responsible call to make given the Group’s first half performance. We are however, pleased to resume dividend payments with the declaration of a final, albeit comparatively modest dividend of 0.5 cents per share in respect to FY23 which will be payable on 28 September 2023. With our franking credits now exhausted and carry forward Australian tax losses still being utilised, this dividend will be unfranked. People The low point of the year was undoubtably the tragic workplace death suffered by one of our Momentum Rail employees in August 2022. The ripples of such a tragedy have run deep and remain in our collective consciousness. We continued to invest in programs to improve the skills, capability, and overall wellbeing of our people as we continue striving to improve our safety performance, and building an environment where our people are not only safe but are also challenged, respected and valued. Initiatives launched during the year such as our Engenco Leaders Program and Elevate a Workmate have been very well received. In FY22, we reported some disappointing results from our employee engagement survey and while there remains further room for improvement, subsequent pulse check survey results have been encouraging. While our employee turnover remains far too high and recruitment of quality people in a tight labour market is still a challenge, there are some recent indications that both may be starting to moderate. 2 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 2.04 cents Earnings per share $6.4m Net Profit after Tax While the fatality we suffered will always remain with us, a further 53% year-on-year reduction in the Group’s FY23 Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate, or TRIFR, against the 13% reduction achieved in FY22 was very pleasing. Our TRIFR is however still too high and while a further decrease is one of our goals in FY24, a greater emphasis is also being placed on leading preventive safety activities and indictors such as our MakeSafe observations, Take 5 safety checks, and workplace health and safety audit program. Board & Senior Leadership Changes The Group also underwent a change in its senior leadership with the contemporaneous but unconnected resignations of our former Managing Director, Kevin Pallas and Chief Financial Officer, Paul Burrows which were both announced in September 2022. In November of that year, we were delighted to appoint Dean Draper as Engenco’s new Chief Executive Officer. Dean joined the Group with a demonstrated history of success in leading and growing large and complex industrial businesses. The recruitment of a new Chief Financial Officer has taken a little longer. We have an interim arrangement in place with a permanent appointment expected to be announced within the next few weeks. We also continued our process of Board renewal with Elphinstone Group Executive Director, Ms Kelly Elphinstone joining the Company as a non-executive director in September 2022. Kelly’s skills, and her experience across a range of sectors, particularly within the mining equipment, technology and services (METS) sector, are very relevant and complementary to Engenco’s business activities. Share register As stated at last year’s Annual General Meeting, the ongoing illiquidity of our share register is something that is not lost upon the Board. We will continue to focus on improving the Company’s profitability and growing the return on our shareholders’ invested capital with the goal of making Engenco’s shares more attractive to existing and prospective new shareholders, while also seeking out opportunities which will require additional fresh share capital. The year ahead It’s worth reflecting upon the fact that the global geopolitical landscape together with our own domestic situation have not been any less challenging over the past year and while it’s almost impossible to predict with any degree of certainty, there does not appear to be any meaningful respite in sight over the next twelve months. In such times, the commitment and dedicated effort of an engaged workforce is never more critical and so we extend to the Engenco Group workforce and the senior management team in particular, our sincere thanks over the past year with the additional challenges it has presented. With the ongoing support of our people, we remain cautiously optimistic that the Group will deliver a materially improved financial performance in FY24. Finally, economics is about the efficient allocation of scarce or limited resources which in turn means that practising good economics should be aimed at eliminating, or at least reducing as far as reasonably possible, any wasteful (or non-value adding) uses of those limited resources. Doing so drives innovation and better productivity leading to the development of sustainable practices and behaviours which is what our customers, employees and the communities in which we live and work all expect to see. It’s also good for Engenco’s businesses and its shareholders. And so for the year ahead, our primary goals again remain unchanged – to make Engenco a company for whom great people want to work; to be a trusted and valued provider of high-quality products and services to our customers; and to generate superior returns for our investors in a sustainable and responsible manner. Vince De Santis Chairman Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 3 Chief Executive Officer’s Report It is a pleasure to address Engenco shareholders in my first annual report. Dean Draper Chief Executive Officer Operating sustainably is important to Engenco and we are increasing our focus on environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) issues, recognising that they are an important and growing area of interest for our employees, customers, shareholders and wider stakeholders. We are committed to sustainably delivering innovative products and solutions to the transportation industry, ensuring that our businesses contribute positively to the community and minimise environmental impact. During the year, we completed a group-wide materiality assessment which identified and evaluated the most significant ESG areas which impact our business, specifically: monitor electricity usage and emissions at 16 Engenco locations currently and are evaluating future energy sourcing options, including solar installation, at our sites. Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, with a view to carbon neutrality, is a focus for our future. Simultaneously we support our customers in their ESG reporting and emission reduction strategies. ● Energy management ● Greenhouse gas emissions ● Employee engagement, diversity and inclusion ● Health and safety ● Business ethics – professional integrity ● Modern slavery. Our business has an important part to play in helping our customers to support the world’s transition to a net zero carbon future, and these material risks form the foundation of Engenco’s ESG strategy which targets achieving specific goals in the key areas of safety, standards, social responsibility and sustainability. Based on our understanding about how our business operations affect the environment, we are working with customers, suppliers and project matter experts to measure and evaluate emissions across our vehicle fleet, air travel and electricity usage. We People Engenco’s vision is to have inspired people creating sustainable transport solutions. The success of our business depends on our people, and we are committed to supporting them to perform at their best in a safe and inclusive environment. Engagement is a strong focus, and we have delivered a vision and strategy that motivates and recognises employees’ efforts and contribution. This year, we launched an Engenco Group Diversity and Inclusion Plan outlining our commitment to build a more inclusive workplace that reflects the communities in which we operate. Our plan targets three key areas. We are prioritising building an inclusive culture, increasing indigenous engagement and improving gender representation. We also initiated a new Engenco Leaders Program which has identified both current and potential future leaders within our Engenco’s vision is to have inspired people creating sustainable transport solutions. 4 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 POWER AND PROPULSION RAIL WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS TURBO & DIESEL businesses, and provided increased opportunities for learning and experience sharing. This includes self-paced development opportunities and training available for all employees through our online learning platform. We continue to support our apprentices through apprenticeship programs, offered nationally, which enable career development and practical knowledge integral to develop the next generation of skilled tradespeople for our industry. We are committed to recognising human rights and have implemented a Modern Slavery policy which provides a framework for our operations and supply chains. Health and safety The foundations for improved workplace health and safety were laid in February 2022 with the MakeSafe7 safety plan which facilitated six key initiatives of investing in safety technologies, celebrating safety outcomes, empowering personal work, health and safety responsibilities, enhancing internal safety systems and knowledge, and integrating safety into everything we do. Some of the achievements for the year included: ● certification of major Gemco Rail and Drivetrain sites to the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System ● implementation of a new cloud-based work, health and safety management system ● development of an organisational justice framework for post- incident investigations and corrective action ● reinvigoration of our workplace health and safety recognition and rewards program. We have emphasised a proactive approach to safety and pleased that it has been embraced across the group, with 37,502 prework risk assessments conducted on the Take 5 app, 116 MakeSafe interactive risk reports by visiting management and site employees, 306 workplace site inspections and 451 hazards raised and resolved over the year. Implementation of the MakeSafe plan has positively affected the health and safety of our employees. Our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) reduced 53% year-on-year from 22.45 to 10.45 injuries per million hours worked, and group Lost Time Injuries (LTI) were down 35% to 4.18 incidents per million hours. It is pleasing to see this improvement in proactively controlling risks which demonstrates that personal ownership of safety is becoming embedded. Safety is an evolving responsibility, and our MakeSafe plan is continually reviewed to ensure all opportunities to enhance employee, contractor and visitor safety are leveraged. Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 5 Chief Executive Officer’s Report (continued) Financial performance A key challenge has been transformation of the company to strengthen financial outcomes and, after a difficult first half, tight cost controls and a continued focus on customers led to improvement. We are on a journey. Further effort is required to achieve a result that demonstrates the true potential of our platforms. However, we have built momentum and our progress is encouraging. The net loss before tax, including significant items, for the first half of FY23 was $0.2 million. This result included adjustment to carrying values of inventory assets with an impairment provision of $1.7 million and recognition of insurance proceeds of $1.6 million for Gemco Rail’s Gladstone workshop which was impacted by a severe flood event in FY22. Following this loss, our immediate focus was to improve financial outcomes in the second half. Net profit before tax (NPBT) for the second half was $5.7 million, and NPBT for the full year of $5.5 million was an increase of 22.2% compared to the previous year. Revenue grew 15.1% on the previous year, with increases across all divisions. This was primarily due to strong demand for new bearings in Gemco Rail and increased workshop throughput in Drivetrain triggered by the mining sector. Workforce Solutions benefited from the reduced impact of the pandemic on the rail and training industries and steps we have taken to increase flexibility and deliver sustainable returns. While we experienced inflationary and supply chain pressures throughout the year which impacted margins, progress was made in passing on these higher costs. Market conditions continue to provide challenges and we remain focused on improving margins through better pricing, procurement and productivity and ultimately, increasing our return on invested capital. Net operating cashflow was $3.0 million, reflecting increased working capital commitments, and down from $10.6 million in the previous year. We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet. Rail Our multi-year investment strategy to expand rail freight capabilities continued with the successful return of Gemco Rail to the new wagon supply market. Capitalising on our rail engineering and project management experience, we received two new wagon supply contracts which heralded the return of local rail wagon manufacturing in Western Australia. These included a contract to build iron ore rail wagons and establish bearing maintenance services in Karratha, Western Australia in partnership with Rio Tinto and Qiqihar Railway Rolling Stock, supported by the Western Australian government. We were also awarded a contract to design and build 20 specialised rail wagons for Arc Infrastructure (Arc) in Western Australia, which involves development of a prototype wagon with production expected to commence in FY24. An innovative design will enable use on both standard and narrow-gauge configurations incorporating Gemco Rail’s remote controlled ballast gating system which enhances operating efficiency and safety. Once commissioned, the wagons will transport ballast for rail track construction and maintenance across Arc’s freight rail network. Both contracts complement our existing service network capabilities. Rail performed well, with revenue up 15.1% year-on-year with strong growth, particularly in the second half. West coast railway wheel shop and bearing refurbishment volumes increased significantly but is expected to moderate in FY24. Demand for locomotive maintenance at Dynon, Victoria slowed with lower freight volumes from Victoria, although we benefited from strong demand at Newcastle. Power and Propulsion Drivetrain leverages a strong global network of Tier-1 manufacturers to provide innovative products and services. The business expanded in FY23, and revenue increased 14.2% year-on-year with strong demand from established customers and across all branches. Underlying business performance also improved, although impacted by inventory impairments. Significant improvements have been made to the inventory profile and management systems, and gains are expected to be realised in FY24. Our growth was aligned to a strategic plan focused on building core business, which includes workshop activities and sales of capital products and parts across our national branch network. Highlights included sales of Kovatera underground mining vehicles in Queensland and the installation of the Guascor combined heat and power generation plant in South Australia. After a difficult first half, our Hedemora business benefited from price improvements and a refreshed product offering. Revenue strengthened, although profitability was below par. Work from reconditioning turbochargers for existing customers was stable, as well as the supply of parts for large frame turbochargers supplied to the rail industry. The Group has marketed its new HS Turbochargers range to the North American market, where tangible opportunities for their installation on locomotives have been identified. The HS Turbocharger has a US Environmental Protection Agency certification of conformity and offers environmental benefits ranging from lower emissions to fuel savings for railroad operators’ fleets. While feedback has been positive, the sales cycle has proved longer than anticipated. We remain optimistic that these opportunities will be realised and deliver material improvement. Sales in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia continued and we have exited the Russian market. Convair’s pneumatic dry bulk tankers, which have established an enviable reputation for improving productivity for our customers’ bulk freight fleets, increased sales by 34.3%, which included some carry-over orders from FY22. This year, the strength of our long order book was offset by exposure to higher raw material costs and a dramatic increase in sea freight costs in the second half. We could not fully pass on costs, and margins were compressed. New measures to mitigate these financial effects will take effect in the second half of 2024. 6 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 $217.1m Total revenue 0.5� Total dividends per share The Kovatera light mining vehicle offers hard rock miners significant safety and durability benefits. Our Workforce Solutions operations have sales strategies in place to capture business growth, and we anticipate improved performance, with good opportunities for CERT Training in the second half of FY24. In closing, I would like to thank our employees for their hard work and effort. We are grateful for your dedication in support of our customers. I would also like to thank our customers for their partnership. Dean Draper Chief Executive Officer Workforce Solutions The Workforce Solutions business was impacted by unseasonal wet weather and derailments which disrupted our customers. Our business structure had exposed the business to significant financial risk, including in the first half. We have modified our business model which is being progressively introduced and has enabled financial performance to stabilise. The adjusted business model has particularly benefited Momentum, which provides supplementary rail personnel. The CERT Training business which provides training, assessment and rectification services for the rail industry also improved and Eureka 4WD & Truck Training gained from increased business-to-business market demand. Outlook Looking forward, we believe that after a long period of disruption from the pandemic and supply chain volatility, market conditions are stabilising. We have a clear goal to achieve sustainable financial growth, and to unlock the value of our platforms. Demand remains robust in Gemco Rail which is experiencing positive momentum. We are excited by the prospect of delivering the first Western Australia built iron ore rail car in mid-2024. The new facility to be established at Karratha is expected by the end of 2024. Strong demand at our Newcastle facility for rollingstock maintenance is expected to continue. At Drivetrain, we continue to strengthen our national network and its associated sales of products and services. As an example, an innovative way we are developing our Guascor product range is by enhancing industrial gas engines for power generation using a wide range of alternative fuels including biogas, hydrogen and syngas, which supports the energy transition of our customers.

Experiencing skills shortages and needing to improve workforce diversity and female participation, the rail industry sought a new way to source skilled talent. In response, Momentum Rail and CERT Training developed innovative, flexible rail Career Path Programs. These included the three most prominent programs, Street-to-Seat (for train drivers and their assistants), Terminal Operator and Wagon Maintainer, driving change in the sourcing and recruitment of rail staff. Career Path Programs are opening doors for individuals from underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, and individuals with diverse backgrounds, to enter and advance within the rail industry. As a result, Momentum Rail’s own labour force has become more diverse and representative of its communities. At July 2023, its male to female staffing ratio was approximately 3:1 and improving. Momentum is proud to be supporting other rail businesses to achieve similar results. By actively recruiting and training individuals from underrepresented groups, the rail industry has become more inclusive. Client employers of staff have observed improved collaboration and communication on sites as well as enhanced overall productivity and employee satisfaction. National rail freight operators are fully supportive of increased female and minority group participation in all Career Path Programs. The Career Path Programs provide employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to progress in their careers. Following structured training and clear career paths improves individuals’ opportunity to advance in the rail industry, breaking barriers that previously impeded their career progress.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and key executives of the Group is as follows: ● All executive directors and key executives receive a salary package comprised of a base salary, short-term incentive and superannuation. ● The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and comparable market information. ● The performance objectives of each executive are agreed at the beginning of each fiscal year and recorded via the annual Short-Term Incentive Plan. These performance objectives are based predominantly on achievement of the Board approved budget targets, including net profit before tax for the given year and improvements in the key safety measure of Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate. Performance against other recorded objectives is also monitored and linked to the achievement of the Group’s strategy and overall development. Other than those made under the Short-Term Incentive Plan, incentive payments are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. All performance objectives are aligned with increasing shareholder value. ● The directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government (which was 10.5% during the year) and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase superannuation contributions. ● All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at cost to the Group and expensed. ● The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders. ● To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. Performance Conditions Linked to Remuneration The remuneration level for key management personnel is based on a number of factors, including skills and qualifications, achievement of performance metrics and demonstrated management capability. The contracts for service between the Group and key management personnel are on a continuing basis.

The employment contract does not stipulate a term of employment period but does stipulate a notice period for resignation and periods of remuneration and conditions under termination. Termination payments are not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious misconduct, the Company can terminate employment at any time.

Other Transactions with Key Management Personnel A number of key management personnel, or their related parties, hold positions in other entities that result in them having control or joint control over the financial or operating policies of those entities. A number of these entities transacted with the Group during the year. The terms and conditions of the transactions with key management personnel and their related parties were no more favourable than those available, or which might reasonably be expected to be available, on similar transactions to non-key management personnel related entities on an arm’s-length basis. From time to time, directors of the Group, or their related entities, may purchase goods from the Group. These purchases are on the same terms and conditions as those entered into by other Group employees or customers and are non-material in nature.

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: • giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and • complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. The Financial Report comprises: • Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2023 • Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended • Notes including a summary of significant accounting policies • Directors’ Declaration. The Group consists of the Company and the entities it controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the financial year. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Revenue Recognition from Rendering of Services ($47,880k) and Maintenance and Construction Contracts ($101,475k) Refer to Note 5 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Revenue recognition from Rendering of Services, and Maintenance and Construction Contracts is a key audit matter due to the quantum of the balance, and the significant audit effort and judgment we have applied in assessing the Group’s recognition and measurement of revenue. This was the result of: • Judgements made by the Group in the recognition and measurement of revenue and associated accrued revenue contract assets; and • The level of audit effort required by us in assessing the Group’s assumptions underlying the timing of its recognition including procedures performed over the judgement applied by management at year end in relation to the over time recognition of services, and maintenance and construction contract revenue. These assessments can be inherently subjective, therefore we involved our senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter Our procedures included: • Assessed the Group’s accounting policy for the recognition of services and maintenance and construction contract revenue against the requirements of the accounting standards. • Selected a sample of completed services and maintenance and construction contract revenue transactions during the year. For each sample selected, we: − Checked the amount of revenue recorded by the Group to the amount of the sales invoice to the customer; − agreed pricing arrangements, typically per customer approved contract/purchase order, payments received from customers, or customer confirmations; and − checked the period over which the revenue was recognised to underlying evidence, such as, delivery/collection documents, customer confirmations, completion certificates or payment certificates. • Selected a sample of accrued revenue transactions. For each sample selected, we: − Checked the actual costs incurred to underlying information such as inventory pricing and employee timesheet records; 31 Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 31 and − Challenged the Group’s estimate of the profit margin with relevant historical data such as actual margins from contracts completed during the current and previous reporting periods. • Selected a sample of revenue transactions for a period before and after year end due to the increased risk of potential bias in the timing of revenue recognition in this period. For each sample selected we: − checked the amount of revenue recorded by the Group to the amount of the sales invoice to the customer and agreed pricing arrangements to underlying evidence, such as, customer approved contract/purchase order, payments received from customers, or customer confirmations; and − checked the revenue was recognised in the correct period based on underlying transaction documents, such as delivery/collection documents, customer confirmations, completion certificates or payment certificates. • Assessed the revenue disclosures in the financial report using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of accounting standards. Existence of Inventory ($59,617k) The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Inventory existence is a key audit matter due to the financial significance of the inventory balance to the statement of financial position; and due to Inventory being held at geographically diverse locations around Australia at various warehouses and workshops. Our procedures included; • Attended inventory counts at certain locations, which were selected based on a number of factors including financial significance and geographical spread. Procedures performed at these locations included: o Selected a sample of inventory items from the inventory records and compared to the quantities we counted; o Observed a sample of management’s inventory count procedures to assess compliance with group policy; and 32 32 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 Independent Auditor’s Reportfor the year ended 30 June 2023 o Obtained a roll-forward/roll-backward analysis when inventory count dates differed from 30 June 2023, and selected a sample of movements and compared them to underlying evidence, such as delivery dockets and dispatch/production dockets/schedules. Other Information Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Engenco Limited’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information. Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The Directors are responsible for: • preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 • implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error • assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objective is: • • to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 33 Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 33 accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our Auditor’s Report. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion Directors’ responsibilities In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Engenco Limited for the year ended 30 June 2023, complies with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibilities We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 23 to 27 of the Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2023. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Reporting Entity Engenco Limited (the ‘Company’) is domiciled in Australia. The Company’s registered office is at Level 22, 535 Bourke Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively ‘the Group’ and individually ‘Group companies’). The Group is a for-profit entity and is involved in the delivery of a diverse range of engineering services and products. Basis of Accounting Statement of Compliance The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 8 September 2023. Functional and Presentation Currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in AUD, which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated. Use of Judgements and Estimates In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group’s 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 estimates are recognised prospectively. Assumptions and Estimation Uncertainties Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that may have a risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ended 30 June 2023 is included in the following notes: ● Note 5 – Revenue and Other Income ● Note 7 – Tax ● Note 10 – Trade and Other Receivables ● Note 11 – Inventories ● Note 12 – Leases and Commitments ● Note 16 – Intangibles Changing Market Conditions and Uncertainties Inflation The increase in global inflation has seen price increases for goods generally and labour which has been further compounded by skilled labour shortages across all industries in Australia. Additionally, the rise in inflation has resulted in Central Banks increasing interest rates, resulting in an increase in incremental borrowing rates and discount rates used for various purposes, including lease calculations and impairment calculations. Geopolitical Geopolitical developments in FY2023, including the war in Ukraine, have resulted in various price increases such as global energy rates, which have, in turn, contributed to the rise in supply side global inflation. These geopolitical developments have directly impacted sales of Hedemora Turbochargers into Eastern Europe and disrupted European supply chains, affecting inventory levels at the end of FY2023. In respect of these financial statements, the impact of inflation, and geopolitical tensions are primarily relevant to estimates of future performance, which is in turn applicable to the areas of recoverability of receivables (Note 10), net realisable value of inventory (Note 11), impairment of non-financial assets (right-of-use assets), (Note 12) and property, plant and equipment, (Note 14), recoverability of income tax losses (Note 7), and intangible assets (Note 16). In making estimates of future performance, the Group has applied the following assumptions and judgements about estimating uncertainties. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. ● Engenco’s operations are nationally diverse across the Australian states and regions, with material functions separated across all the major states. ● Engenco operates within the Transportation industry, a broad and diverse industry with significant growth drivers, including population growth and mining exports. ● Central banks will successfully manage inflation to historical normalised levels over the cycle. ● Skilled migration will return to historical levels, improving staff availability to meet customer demand. ● Geopolitical tensions across the globe will remain at heightened levels for the near term. Basis of Measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for non-derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured at fair value. Going Concern The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 40 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2023the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, 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. (c) Foreign Currency Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group companies at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss. However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognised in OCI: ● Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) equity investments (except on impairment in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss); ● A financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and ● Qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Consolidation Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests (NCI) are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has the right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Loss of control When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (b) Impairment Non-financial assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units (CGUs). Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, 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 Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 41 Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Foreign operations (g) Share Based Payments The Group operates an employee share based purchase plan that allows staff members, based on the Plan rules, to purchase Engenco shares on the pre-tax basis and at a 5% market discount. The value of the 5% discount benefit to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the minimum holding period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The shares are valued at the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s shares trade on the Australian Securities Exchange during the five business days immediately preceding the day the shares are issued. (h) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to NCI. When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to NCI. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. (d) Finance Income and Finance Costs The Group’s finance income and finance costs include: ● Interest income; ● Interest expense; ● The net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; ● The foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities; and ● Impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables). Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method. (e) Government Grants Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised. (f) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and non-financial assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 42 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2023(i) Prior Year Correction Property, plant and equipment was previously overstated in the 2022 financial year. It was identified that this property, plant and equipment was obsolete prior to the 2022 financial year causing the 2022 financial year to be overstated by $651,000 with a corresponding understatement in accumulated losses and has been corrected in the opening balances of the prior year comparatives.

Other Accounting Standards The following new or amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements: ● Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8) ● Disclosure Initiative: Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1) ● Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12) (k) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations New accounting standards adopted The Group has adopted the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the “AASB”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period. New and revised Standards and Interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to the Group include: ● AASB 2020-3 Annual Improvements 2018-2022 and Other Amendments ● Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to AASB 137) ● Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to AASB 116) ● Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3) ● Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendment to AASB 101) ● Insurance Contracts (Amendments to AASB 17) The new standards adopted did not have a material impact to the Group.

(b) Inter-segment transactions An internal transfer price is set for all inter-segment sales. This price is set based on what would be realised in the event the sale was made to an external party at arm’s length. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group’s financial statements. (c) Segment assets Assets are allocated to segments where there is a nexus between control and ownership of the asset and the operations of the business. Segment assets are disclosed at the net of capital expenditure, investments and intangibles. Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, deferred tax assets have not been allocated to operating segments. (d) Segment liabilities Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Unless indicated otherwise in the segment liabilities note, deferred tax liabilities have not been allocated to operating segments. Note 4 – Operating Segments Basis of Segmentation Identification of Reportable Segments The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Managing Director/CEO (chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on the basis of service offerings since the diversification of the Group’s operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. Types of Products and Services by Segment The chief operating decision maker considers the business from a Business Line perspective and has identified four (4) reportable segments as follows: (a) Drivetrain Drivetrain is a provider of technical sales and services to the mining, oil & gas, rail, transport, defence, marine, construction, materials handling, automotive, agriculture, and power generation industries. A broad product and service offering includes engine and powertrain maintenance, repair and overhaul, new components and parts, fluid connector products, power generation design and construction, technical support, professional engineering and training services. (b) Convair Engineering (Convair) Convair is a manufacturer of bulk pneumatic road tankers and mobile silos for the carriage and storage of construction materials, grains, and other dry bulk materials. Additional services include maintenance, repair and overhaul, and provisioning of ancillary equipment and spare parts sales. (c) Gemco Rail Gemco Rail specialises in the remanufacture and repair of locomotives, wagons, bearings and other rail products for rail operators and maintainers.

The total contract consideration is allocated to the performance obligations based on their observable stand alone selling prices. Revenue is recognised when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue is recognised: ● Over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance; or Maintenance and Construction Contracts The Group is involved in the overhaul maintenance and manufacture of wagons, carriages, rail equipment and dry bulk tankers. Revenue is recognised as contract performance obligations are satisfied over time. The total contract consideration is allocated to the performance obligations based on their observable stand alone selling prices. Claims and variations are included in the contract consideration only when they are approved. ● At a point in time, when control of the goods or services is RTO Training transferred to the customer. Sale of Goods The Group engages in the sale of spare parts and components for various rail, road, powertrain and gas compression industry sectors. Revenue is recognised at a point in time when a customer obtains control of the goods. Revenue is measured net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Rendering of Services The Group performs a number of services to various industry sectors, including maintenance, repairs and overhauls. Revenue is recognised as contract performance obligations are satisfied over time. The total contract consideration is allocated to the performance obligations based on their observable stand alone selling prices. The Group’s RTO entities (CERT Training and Eureka 4WD Training) deliver nationally accredited and industry-based training courses. Revenue is recognised at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied. Lease Rental Income The Group leases out certain items of property, plant and equipment to customers in the form of operating lease arrangements. Rental income from leased plant and equipment is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. 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; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met. Note 7 – Tax Tax Consolidation Engenco Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities/assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. The Group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 31 October 2007. The tax consolidated group has entered into a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax payable by the group in proportion to their contribution to the group’s taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity. Income tax expense/benefit comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or OCI. Estimates and Judgements Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors’ understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents the directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by taxable authorities in relevant jurisdictions. Current Tax Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met. Deferred Tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of 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: ● Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 53 Note 7 – Tax (continued) CURRENT Income tax receivable / (payable) TOTAL CURRENT INCOME TAX (a) The components of tax expense / (benefit) comprise: Current income tax expense / (benefit) – Current income tax expense / (benefit) Deferred income tax expense / (benefit) – Origination and reversal of temporary differences Income tax expense / (benefit) reported in the Statement of Profit or Loss and OCI (b) A reconciliation between tax expense / (benefit) and the product of accounting profit before income tax multiplied by the Group’s applicable income tax rate is as follows: Accounting profit before tax At the Company’s statutory domestic income tax rate of 30% (2022: 30%) Add / (Less) tax effect of: – Foreign tax rate adjustment – Losses for which no deferred tax asset is recognised – Instant asset write-off – Adjustments for prior years – Other non-allowable items – Movements in recognised temporary differences – Deferred tax recognition of prior year unbooked losses Income tax expense / (benefit) *2022 balances have been reclassified to align to the current year classifications.

Credit facilities are generally offered on terms of 30 to 60 days from end of month. The Group’s review procedure includes the utilisation of external ratings, credit agency information and other industry information. Credit limits are established and monitored for each customer with any sales exceeding these limits requiring approval. The Group monitors the economic environments in which it operates, and proactively takes any necessary actions to limit its credit exposure to customers and industries that are experiencing economic volatility. The Group has adopted the simplified approach when calculating its expected credit loss provisions. This allows the recognition of lifetime expected credit losses at all times. This provision is reassessed when there is a significant change in credit risk. These amounts have been included in the provision for impairment of accounts receivable. The Group uses a provisions matrix to measure the expected credit losses of trade receivables from individual customers. Loss rates are calculated using a “roll rate” method based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive stages of delinquency to write-off. Roll rates are calculated separately per Group company. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience over the past three years, which are adjusted where deemed necessary for economic factors to reflect differences in economic conditions over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables. The expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables are calculated based on key assumptions that determine the weighted average loss rates and overall loss allowance. 56 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2023Weighted average loss rate % 0.12% 1.96% 5.51% 9.18% 17.41% 2023 Gross carrying amount $’000 33,178 1,736 272 839 2,838 38,863 Loss allowance $’000 Weighted average loss rate % 0.14% 3.59% 12.12% 20.81% 37.83% 39 34 15 77 494 659 2022 Gross carrying amount $’000 28,783 948 66 221 727 30,745 Loss allowance $’000 Credit impaired 41 34 8 46 275 404 No No No No Yes Current (not past due) 1 – 30 days past due 31 – 60 days past due 61 – 90 days past due More than 90 days past due Total ECL Provision Note 11 – Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 57 Note 12 – Leases and Commitments Leasing Activities and Accounting Policy Engenco leases various properties and equipment. Property leases typically are for a period of 3 to 10 years and often have extension options and equipment leases are typically for a period of 3 to 5 years. The Group accounts for these leases under AASB 16: Leases which requires operating leases to be recognised on-balance sheet through the recognition of a Right-of-Use (ROU) Asset and Lease Liability. Lease expenditure is recognised as depreciation and interest. Under AASB 16, there is a single, on balance sheet accounting model, similar to previous finance lease accounting. The assessment of whether a contract contains a lease determines whether the arrangement is recognised on- or off-balance sheet. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. There are three key elements of the lease definition, and all three must be met in order for the contract to contain a lease and the entity therefore be able to apply lease accounting under AASB 16: ● Contract contains an identified asset; ● The lessee obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset; and ● The lessee directs the use of the asset. Judgements and Estimates The Group applies judgement to determine the lease term for some contracts in which it is a lease that includes renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts on the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension term. Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended. The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or change in circumstance occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee. Engenco applies a number of the practical expedients and exemptions including: ● The application of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; ● Recognition exemption for short-term and low-value leases – Leases which have a lease term of less than 12 months or are less than A$10,000 in annual value will not be accounted for under AASB 16. Another practical expedient that is available to the Group, is to not separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. The Group has not elected to combine lease and non-lease components for its property leases. As such, the calculated lease liability excludes an estimate of the stand-alone price of the non-lease component.

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent Expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line or diminishing returns method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

Note 16 – Intangible Assets Recognition and Measurement 2023 Cents 25.4 2022* Cents 24.9 Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Other intangible assets, including customer relationships, patents and trademarks, and computer software, that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. 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 as incurred. Amortisation Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the reducing-balance method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortised. The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows: Class of Intangible Asset Customer-related intangibles Patents and trademarks Development costs Other intangible assets Useful Life 3-10 years Up to 13 years Life of project 5-8 years Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

The current amortisation charges for intangible assets are included under depreciation and amortisation expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and OCI. Impairment testing for the Eureka CGUs containing goodwill The recoverable amount of this CGU was based on its value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU. The key management judgement and assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out below. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent managements business plans and forecasts including the assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources. Percentages Discount rate Terminal value growth rate EBITDA growth rate (compounded annual growth rate over 5 year forecast) 2023 12.8% 2.5% 10% The discount rate was a pre-tax measure estimated based on the CGU’s weighted average cost of capital. The cash flow projections included specific estimates for five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. The terminal growth rate was determined based on management’s estimate of a conservative long-term compound EBITDA growth rate, consistent with the assumptions that a market participant would make. Budgeted EBITDA was estimated considering the following year’s budget and multi-year strategic plan, extended over a total five-year period using a growth factor relevant to the strategic business plan. The use of estimates by definition requires management judgement and may not equal actual results. The growth factor in the Group’s strategic business plan reflects strong growth expected from the Eureka business over the next five years. If the average annual growth rate is below 7% the Group may need to recognise an impairment in future periods. The directors and management have considered and assessed reasonably possible changes for other key assumptions and have not identified any instances that could cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount. 62 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2023Note 17 – Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability if expected to be settled within 12 months.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Non-Derivative Financial Liabilities – Recognition and Derecognition The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and debt securities issued on the date when they are originated. All other financial liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date, when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. Financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the Statement of Financial Position when, and only when, the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Information about the Group’s exposure to interest rate, foreign currency and liquidity risk is included in Note 24 – Financial Risk Management. (a) Collateral Provided Bank facility The bank facility with the National Australia Bank (NAB) is comprised of a $20,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility, $6,000,000 Bank Guarantee Facility, $600,000 Credit Card Facility and $500,000 Set off Facility. These facilities are secured against the Australian assets of the Group. The revolving credit facility expires on 31 October 2023, with the other facilities renewed annually. Defaults and breaches There were no defaults or breaches during the year ended 30 June 2023 on any of the above mentioned facilities.

Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 63 Note 19 – Provisions 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. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. Provision for Long-Term Employee Benefits A provision has been recognised for employee entitlements relating to long service leave. In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long service leave being taken is based on historical data. Restructuring A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating losses are not provided for. Restructuring provisions include closure costs and redundancies announced before the reporting date. Makegood A provision has been recognised for makegood obligations at the end of the lease term for leased property. The Group calculates the provisions on the present value of future cash flows in respect of meeting contract obligations. Other Provisions Other provisions relate to various categories including provisions for warranty costs and other costs required to be incurred under contractual obligations.

This event caused business disruption and destroyed the recently commissioned Under Floor Wheel Lathe, which had been subject to a $1,649,000 impairment in the 2022 statutory financial results. The Group maintains insurance for flood events at all facilities, and at the time of the accounts being published, the insurance claim for the impaired asset and associated business interruption had been lodged with the Group insurance company and partially processed with $1,589,000 recognised against Other Income (see Note 5: Revenue and Other Income) during the 2023 financial year. Dialogue for claims for abandoned infrastructure and business interruption remain, and the amounts cannot be reliably measured or quantified at the reporting date. There are a number of legal claims and exposures which arise from the ordinary course of business. There is significant uncertainty as to whether a future liability will arise in respect to these items. The amount of the liability, if any, which may arise cannot be reliably measured at the reporting date. The Group has arranged for its bankers to guarantee its performance to third parties. The maximum amount of these guarantees at 30 June 2023 is $2,543,521 (2022: $1,209,174). 64 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2023Note 21 – Issued Capital and Reserves (a) Share Capital 315,650,256 (2022: 315,495,882) fully paid ordinary shares 2023 $’000 303,900 303,900 2022 $’000 303,834 303,834 Ordinary Shares Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.

Employee Share Purchase Plan At the 2020 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved an Employee Share Plan (ESPP). The ESPP is available to all eligible employees each year to acquire ordinary shares in the Company from future remuneration (before tax). Shares to be issued or transferred under the ESPP will be valued at a 5% discount to the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange during the five business days immediately preceding the day the shares are issued. Shares issued under the ESPP are not allowed to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of until the earlier of an initial three-year period, or the participant ceasing continuing employment with the Company. The value of shares issued under the ESPP that was recognised during the year was $66,000 (2022: $60,000).

FINANCIAL ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Contract assets FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Trade and other payables Bank loans Contract liabilities Lease liabilities Note 2023 $’000 2022 $’000 9 10 5 17 18 5 12 8,478 38,296 6,962 53,736 29,677 13,000 5,176 17,749 65,602 4,746 30,436 5,984 41,166 23,991 – 1,086 19,564 44,641 The Group measures Trade and other receivables along with Trade and other payables at amortised costs. The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with highly probable forecast transactions arising from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group initially measures derivatives at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and any changes therein are recognised in profit or loss. At inception of the designated hedging relationship, the Group documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other. i. Treasury Risk Management Treasury risk management is centralised within the corporate office and the treasury function monitors financial risk exposure and evaluates treasury management strategies in the context of current economic conditions and forecasts. Management’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Management operates under the supervision of members of the Board of Directors. Risk management transactions are approved by senior management personnel in accordance with Board approved delegations of authority. ii. Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Company’s Audit and Risk Committee has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework, and is responsible for approving and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies. The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Audit and Risk Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. a. Interest Rate Risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial liabilities recognised at reporting date whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. Currently the Group’s operations are financed using floating rate debt. The Group has not entered into any interest rate swaps to fix its floating rate debt. The variable interest rate borrowings exposes the Group to interest rate risk which will impact future cash flows and interest charges and is indicated by the following floating interest rate financial liabilities: FLOATING RATE INSTRUMENTS Bank loans Total Floating Rate Instruments 2023 $’000 2022 $’000 13,000 13,000 – – 68 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2023b. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms: ● Preparing regular forecast cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; ● Monitoring undrawn credit facilities; ● Managing credit risk related to financial assets; and ● Monitoring the maturity profile of financial liabilities. The following table reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectations as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

Currency Risk The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases and borrowings are denominated and the AUD functional currency of the Group. The majority of financial liabilities and assets of the Group are denominated in the functional currency of the operational location. These are primarily Australian Dollars and Swedish Krona. d. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and cash balances with financial institutions. Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include monitoring of exposures, payment cycles and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counter parties) ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counter-parties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Credit terms differ between each key business but are generally 30 to 60 days from end of month. Where the Group is unable to ascertain a satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or counter-party, then risk may be further managed through title retention clauses over goods or obtaining security by way of personal or commercial guarantees over assets of sufficient value which can be claimed against in the event of any default. The Group has established procedures to ensure Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) registration is performed for all relevant assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at balance date, excluding the value of any collateral or security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. On a geographical basis the Group has significant credit risk exposures in Australia given the substantial operations in this region. Details with respect of the credit risk of Trade and Other Receivables can be found in Note 10. Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are detailed in Note 10 – Trade and Other Receivables. Balances held with banks are with AA rated financial institutions, details of these holdings can be found in Note 9 – Cash and Cash Equivalents. Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 69 Note 24 – Financial Risk Management (continued) iii. Net Fair Values Fair Value Estimation The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the Statement of Financial Position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Estimates, judgments and the associated assumptions have been detailed below. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. FINANCIAL ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Contract assets FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Trade and other payables Bank Loans Contract liabilities Lease liabilities The fair values disclosed in the above table have been determined based on the following methodologies: ● Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are short-term instruments in nature whose carrying value is equivalent to fair value. ● Loans and borrowings have carrying values equivalent to fair value. The majority of these facilities have floating rates. iv. Sensitivity Analysis a. Interest Rate Risk and Currency Risk The following tables illustrate sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The tables indicate the impact on how profit and equity values reported at balance date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis The effect on earnings and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows: CHANGE IN EARNINGS – Increase in interest rates by 100 basis points – Decrease in interest rates by 100 basis points CHANGE IN EQUITY – Increase in interest rates by 100 basis points – Decrease in interest rates by 100 basis points 2023 $’000 2022 $’000 (153) 153 (153) 153 – – – – 70 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | Annual Report 2023 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2023c. Currency Risk Sensitivity Analysis v. Capital Management The effect on earnings and equity as a result of changes in the value of the Australian Dollar to the Swedish Krona, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows: 2023 $’000 2022 $’000 Management monitors the capital of the Group in an effort to maintain an appropriate debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations. The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary shares and financial liabilities. The gearing ratios as at 30 June 2023 and 2022 are as follows: CHANGE IN EARNINGS – Improvement in AUD to SEK by 5% – Decline in AUD to SEK by 5% CHANGE IN EQUITY – Improvement in AUD to SEK by 5% – Decline in AUD to SEK by 5% (25) 25 436 (436) (5) 5 447 (447) Total Borrowings Net debt / (cash) Total equity TOTAL EQUITY AND NET DEBT GEARING RATIO 2023 $’000 13,000 4,522 94,792 99,314 5% 2022* $’000 – (4,746) 93,131 88,385 (5%) The Group does not currently hedge against foreign exchange movements in net assets of its Swedish subsidiaries. *2022 comparative figures have been restated. Full details are disclosed in Note 1. Note 25 – Related Party Transactions (a) Transactions with Key Management Personnel Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid 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. Defined contribution plans Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. 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. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Termination benefits Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted. (i) Key Management Personnel Compensation The totals of remuneration paid to key management personnel during the year (including termination benefits) are as follows: Short-term employee benefits Post-employment benefits Termination benefits Other long-term benefits TOTAL 2023 $ 2022 $ 1,462,326 1,184,765 97,774 24,978 3,177 97,383 – 11,472 1,592,235 1,293,620 Annual Report 2023 | Engenco Limited and its controlled entities | 71 Note 25 – Related Party Transactions (continued) Compensation of the Group’s key management personnel includes salaries, superannuation and post-employment benefits. (ii) Key Management Personnel Transactions A number of key management personnel, or their related parties, hold positions in other companies that result in them having control or significant influence over these companies. A number of these companies transacted with the Group during the year. The terms and conditions of these transactions were no more favourable than those available, or which might reasonably be expected to be available, in similar transactions with non-key management personnel related companies on an arm’s length basis. From time to time directors of the Group, or their related entities, may buy goods from the Group. These purchases are on the same terms and conditions as those entered into by other Group employees or customers.

The acquisition was completed on 1 July 2021. Eureka is a Perth based market-leading RTO focussed on providing certified four-wheel-drive vehicle training to the industrial, mining and consumer markets. The company also undertakes heavy road vehicle licensing training. The purchase price included an earn-out component and was funded via a combination of cash and new equity that was issued to the vendors. On 27 April 2022, a Share Sale Variation Agreement was entered into amending the earn-out component of the purchase price. The duration of the earn-out was reduced from 12 months to 6 months, and maximum value was reduced from $1,000,000 to $500,000. At the conclusion of the earn-out period, 90% of the earn-out target had been achieved and a payment of $450,000 made to the vendors in accordance with the sale agreement. The remaining deferred consideration liability was accounted for in Other Income in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in the prior period.
