Dear Shareholder
It is with pleasure that I present to you GR Engineering Services Limited’s (GR Engineering or the Company) Annual
Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 (FY14).
Although a challenging year in many respects, FY14 was also a rewarding period during which the Company continued to
benefit from the implementation of its overseas growth strategy, successfully executed work involving the application of
the Company’s renowned process engineering capability to iron ore processing and importantly, secured future growth
opportunities through its diversification into the oil and gas industry.
A prime example of the successful implementation of the Company’s international growth strategy is Wolf Minerals
(UK) Limited’s Hemerdon Tungsten Project in England. With a value of approximately $140 million this Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract is the largest project undertaken by GR Engineering to date. Site access at
Hemerdon was granted in February 2014 and I am pleased to report that this project is running on budget and on time.
In addition, the Company continues to manage the construction of the Syama gold processing facility in Mali. This project
is executed on an EPCM basis demonstrating the Company’s capacity to apply EPC contracting disciplines to EPCM
engagements and to execute large overseas projects adopting a range of contracting models.
Projects completed during FY14 included the refurbishment and upgrade of an iron ore processing facility in South
Australia for one of Australia’s leading steel producers. This brownfields project was also delivered on time and on budget
and was important in establishing GR Engineering’s credentials in delivering value add process engineering solutions to the
iron ore industry.
In June 2014, the Company was awarded an EPC contract by Rio Tinto associated with the Moisture Reduction Project
for Rio Tinto’s Greater Paraburdoo operations in Western Australia, further demonstrating GR Engineering’s expertise and
growing reputation in iron ore processing.
These positive operational outcomes were achieved despite another year of difficult trading conditions. Commodity prices
have remained subdued and in some cases volatile. Combined with a persistently strong Australian dollar, these factors
have contributed to a contraction in investment by miners generally and gold producers in particular. It is therefore
important to the long term growth of GR Engineering that it continues to apply its services to a wide range of
commodities in a range of jurisdictions and to seek merger and acquisition opportunities which meet the
Company’s investment criteria.
Such an acquisition was completed in April 2014 with the purchase of the Upstream Production
Solutions business (UPS). With approximately 125 employees, UPS is a leading independent
provider of specialist operations and maintenance and well management services to the
growing oil and gas sector across Australia and south-east Asia. The acquisition of UPS
will enable the Company to diversify its sector exposure while preserving the group’s
technical base. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all employees
of Upstream Production Solutions into the GR Engineering group and I look
forward to being a part of that business’s development in coming years.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014

ChaiRman’S lEttER
During FY14, GR Engineering completed 13 studies and as at 30 June was engaged on 14 studies of which 5 related to
overseas projects. These studies relate to a range of commodities including gold, manganese, copper, silver, bauxite, tin,
nickel and iron ore.
In presenting GR Engineering’s FY13 Annual Report I took great pride in advising that the Company had achieved three
consecutive years without incurring a Lost Time Injury (LTI). FY14 continued on a similar vein until May 2014 when
regrettably an LTI was sustained by a site worker at Hemerdon.
This incident highlighted the fact that irrespective of the strength of our safety culture, the potential for harm or injury in
any work environment but particularly industrial work environments is ever present and we must strive to manage work
practices and safety attitudes to the smallest of detail.
During FY14 the Company generated consolidated group revenue of $114.2 million a decrease of $0.5 million or 0.4%
against FY13. Despite relatively flat revenue, careful project management and cost reduction measures implemented
prior to the commencement of the year resulted a Profit Before Tax result of $16.8 million dollars, an increase of $5.3
million or 46.1% over FY 13. This result was assisted by a one off Gain on Acquisition of $3.04 million associated with the
acquisition of UPS.
As at 30 June 2014, GR Engineering held cash and receivables of $50.5 million, net of trade creditors and remained
virtually debt free. In March 2014, the Company was successful in renegotiating its bank guarantee facility resulting
in a doubling of its bonding capacity to $30 million and more importantly, more favourable terms in relation to security
requirements resulting in approximately $15 million in additional free cash.
Having regard to these factors and the Company’s financial performance in FY14, your Directors have resolved to declare a
fully franked dividend of 4.0 cents per share bringing the full year payment to 7.0 cents per share. The Record Date for this
dividend is 16 September 2014 and the Payment Date is 30 September 2014.
Your Board of Directors remains focused on overseeing the continuing development of the Company’s overseas growth
strategy, the pursuit of contract opportunities across a wide range of commodities, the preservation of a strong Balance
Sheet and above all ensuring that policies, procedures and practices for the safety and protection of our employees are
stringently adhered to.
Finally I would like to express my gratitude to my fellow Board members for their valued insight and support throughout
the year and to recognise the efforts of entire GR Engineering workforce, including our colleagues at UPS. To our valued
clients, may I take this opportunity to also thank you for your business and support throughout FY14.

DiRECtORS’ REPORt
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The financial year ended 30 June 2014 saw the continuation of market conditions and sentiments experienced by the
mining industry in FY13. Faced with ongoing volatility in commodity prices and a persistently strong Australian dollar,
producers continued their focus on reducing operating costs and applying higher approval thresholds to investment
cases resulting in an overall reduction in capital investment.
Despite this difficult trading environment, GR Engineering was able to produce solid and consistent financial and
operational outcomes during FY14. This was predominantly the result of the greater contribution of overseas revenue,
a greater contribution to revenue by the iron ore sector, the successful execution of EPCM engagements, the winning
of repeat business and through the acquisition of the Upstream Production Solutions business.
It is pleasing to note that these outcomes arose from the roll out of the Company’s growth strategy being to pursue
growth through geographical expansion, to seek opportunities involving iron ore and subject to satisfying the Company’s
investment criteria, to pursue growth through acquisitions.
A prime example of the successful implementation of the Company’s geographical expansion strategy is the Hemerdon
Tungsten/Tin Project in the United Kingdom. The value of this Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) project
is approximately $140 million and is the largest project undertaken by GR Engineering to date.
As at the date of this report, the Company had deployed senior project management, engineering staff and construction
personnel to England as the Hemerdon Tungsten/Tin Project commences construction and to coordinate the logistics
associated with the procurement of goods and services from countries worldwide. Together with locally sourced
contractors and employees, site management is dedicated to ensuring that the project continues to run on time and
on budget and above all to ensure the occupational health and safety of all personnel.
It is disappointing to note that in May 2014, after nearly four consecutive years of Lost Time Injury (LTI) free days, a
subcontractor’s employee engaged on the Hemerdon site sustained such an injury. This incident highlighted the need
to ensure that safety considerations precede and permeate every function performed by the Company and that this
mindset is continually reinforced to all personnel.
Additional overseas activity included the construction management of the Syama gold processing facility in Mali. This
project is being executed on an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) basis demonstrating
GR Engineering’s capacity to apply EPC contracting disciplines to a range of contracting models on both domestic and
overseas projects.
An important aspect of GR Engineering’s growth strategy is to secure work involving iron ore processing. It is therefore
particularly pleasing to report that during FY14 work was completed on the upgrade of an iron ore processing facility
in South Australia for a leading Australian steel producer. This project brought with it particular operational challenges
as the work performed required meticulous scheduling to minimise disruption to the operation of the wider facility. In
addition the project was executed on a tight schedule to coordinate the progress of work with regular plant shutdowns.
Notwithstanding these challenges, this project was also completed on time and on budget. GR Engineering’s exemplary
safety performance on site was officially recognised with the award by the client of two Safety Excellence Awards.
The Company’s credentials in the provision of engineering and construction expertise to the iron ore industry were
further recognised with the award in June 2014 of an EPC contract by Rio Tinto to implement the Moisture Reduction
Project at its Greater Paraburdoo operations in Western Australia.
In October 2013, the Company was awarded Preferred Contractor status by MZI Resources Limited (MZI) for the
design and construction of the circa $55 million Keysbrook mineral sands processing facility in Western Australia.
Early engineering works for this project were commenced in FY14, with GR Engineering expecting to enter into an EPC
contract for full project design and construction upon, amongst other things, MZI making a final investment decision.
GR Engineering remains alert to potential project opportunities but recognises that economic conditions remain subdued
in the industry. With an experienced workforce, excellent reputation and strong balance sheet it remains well poised to
avail itself of opportunities arising from the eventual improvement in these conditions.
During FY14 the Company completed 13 studies of which 5 related to overseas projects. These studies related to
a range of minerals, precious metals, base metals and bulk commodities. As at 30 June 2014 GR Engineering was
involved on a further 14 studies also involving a wide range of commodities and many jurisdictions.
6
continuedIn April 2014 GR Engineering’s wholly owned subsidiary, Upstream Production Solutions Pty Ltd completed the
acquisition of Production Solutions a leading independent provider of specialist operations and maintenance and
well management services to the oil and gas sector in Australia and across South-East Asia. These assets now
form GR Engineering’s oil and gas services business unit, Upstream Production Solutions.
This acquisition involved integrating the UPS business, including its 125 employees, IT and financial reporting systems
into the GR Engineering group. This was largely achieved by 23 April 2014 when operational control of the business
transferred to GR Engineering. Since then UPS has generated operational and financial outcomes consistent with
budget expectations.
Looking ahead, GR Engineering intends to provide UPS’s experienced management team with the financial resources
and engineering expertise to pursue the many opportunities presented by the Australian and South-East Asian oil
and gas sector.
FINANCIAL POSITION
GR Engineering generated revenue of $114.2 million and net operating cash flow of $18.8 million for the year ended
30 June 2014.
During the year the Company paid $9.0 million in dividends and held cash, including term deposits to secure contingent
liabilities under its bank guarantee facilities, of $37.4 million as at 30 June 2014, an increase of $2.9 million over cash
held as at the close of the previous financial year.
GROWTH STRATEGY
GR Engineering remains alert to opportunities within Australia and at the same time will continue to seek overseas
opportunities. This strategy held the Company in good stead during FY14 and has provided GR Engineering with good
visibility into FY15. Excluding any potential revenue contribution from the design and construction of the $55 million
Keysbrook mineral sands processing facility which is expected to commence in FY15, GR Engineering has approximately
$110 million in contracted revenue in FY15. This forecast revenue is predominantly the result of contributions from the
Wolf Minerals Tungsten Project in the UK and the Moisture Reduction Project at Rio Tinto’s Greater Paraburdoo Iron Ore
Operations in Western Australia.
The Company continues to pursue opportunities involving the application of its process engineering skills to the iron
ore sector, building on the results achieved in FY14.
The acquisition of the Upstream Production Solutions (UPS) business has given the Company an additional avenue
for growth and it is the Company’s intention to provide UPS with the financial and management resources needed to
pursue operations and maintenance and well management opportunities in Australia’s and South-East Asia’s growing
oil and gas sector. Upstream Production Solutions has forecast revenues of $37 million of which approximately 70%
is contracted in FY15.
GR Engineering will continue to apply the systems and disciplines developed over many years as an EPC contractor to
a wider range of contracting models including EPCM engagements with the view to further broadening its revenue base.
With a strong balance sheet, excellent market reputation and available operational capacity, GR Engineering is well
positioned to take advantage of any strengthening in Australia’s mining industry.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Increase to Bank Guarantee Facility
On 5 March 2014 the Company entered into an agreement with National Australia Bank providing for an increase in the
Company’s bank guarantee facility to $30 million secured by letters of set-off against cash term deposits equating to
25% of the amount of bank guarantees on issue at any given time.
Purchase of Production Solutions
On 13 December 2013 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Upstream Production Solutions Pty Ltd entered into
a contract for the purchase of Production Solutions, a provider of specialist operations and maintenance and well
management services to the oil and gas industry. Consideration for the business was $5,750,000. The transaction
was completed on 23 April 2014.

Employee Share Option Plan
The Company has established an employee share option plan (ESOP). The Company may offer options to subscribe for
shares in the Company to eligible persons subject to the ESOP rules. Options offered under the ESOP are to be offered
on such terms as the board determines and the offer must set out specified information including the number of options,
the period of the offer, calculation of the exercise price and any exercise conditions.
The exercise price is to be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion and set out in the offer provided that the
exercise price is not less than the average market price on ASX on the five trading days prior to the day the Directors
resolve to grant the option(s).

Shareholders approved the cancellation of these options at the Annual General Meeting held on 12 November 2013.
At that Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the granting of Share Appreciation Rights to Managing Director,
Geoff Jones. Key elements of these Share Appreciation Rights are summarised in the Equity Incentive Plan section below.
Equity Incentive Plan
The GR Engineering Services Limited Equity Incentive Plan (Plan) was adopted by the Board on 28 March 2012.
In accordance with the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), shareholder approval of the Plan
was obtained at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2012. Under the ASX Listing Rules and
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the issue of securities under the Plan to directors will be subject to separate shareholder
approval. At the discretion of the Board, all eligible employees of the Company or eligible consultants may participate
in the Plan. Non-executive directors are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
The Plan is designed to align the interests of executives and employees with the interests of shareholders by providing
an opportunity to receive an equity interest in the Company and therefore direct participation in the benefits of future
Company performance over the medium to long term.
This is achieved by awarding both or either:
• Performance Rights (PR), with each PR being a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share of the Company and
vesting upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions; and
• Share Appreciation Rights (SARs), being rights to receive a future payment in shares, equal to the amount of increase in
market value of one share in the Company in a specified period between the grant of the SAR and exercise of that SAR.
Securities issued under the Plan will be subject to vesting criteria as determined by the Board and have a term of 3 years
(or such term as otherwise agreed by the Board).
During the year ended 30 June 2014 510,000 Performance Rights were issued and 270,000 were forfeited in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Plan. 2,315,000 Performance Rights were on issue as at 30 June 2014.

For comparative purposes, the number of shares assumed to be on issue for the financial year ended 30 June 2010
is 120 million. This period is prior to a share split performed at the time the Company listed in April 2011, which
resulted in the issue of a further 30 million shares.
Messrs Ricciardo and Patrizi, both Executive Directors of the Company, a Non-Executive Director, two senior
executives and four key employees hold significant shareholdings in the Company. As a result the performance
of the Company and the personal and financial interest of its executive and management team are aligned.
The Company has issued share appreciation rights to its Managing Director Geoff Jones which are designed
to incentivise the Managing Director and align his interests with those of all shareholders.
The ESOP and Plan have been adopted by the Company and will be implemented as the Nomination and
Remuneration Committee identify the need to remunerate either existing or future employees, key employees,
executives or executive directors on a performance basis.

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The financial report covers GR Engineering Services Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of GR Engineering
Services Limited and the entities it controlled during the year. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars,
which is GR Engineering Services Limited’s functional and presentation currency.
The financial report consists of the financial statements, notes to the financial statements and the directors’ declaration.
GR Engineering Services Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Its registered office and principal place of business are:
Registered office
Principal place of business
179 Great Eastern Highway
BELMONT WA 6104
179 Great Eastern Highway
BELMONT WA 6104
A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations and its principal activities are included in the directors’
report, which is not part of the financial report.
The financial report was authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 25 August 2014.
The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial report.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to their operations and are effective for the current financial reporting
period beginning 1 July 2013.
AASB 2011-4 ‘Amendments
to Australian Accounting
Standards to Remove Individual
Key Management Personnel
Disclosure Requirements’
This standard removes the individual key management personnel disclosure
requirements in AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’. As a result the consolidated
entity only discloses the key management personnel compensation in total and for
each of the categories required in AASB 124. In the current year the individual key
management personnel disclosure previously required by AASB 124 (Note 23 and 27
in the 30 June 2013 financial statements) is now disclosed in the remuneration report
due to an amendment to Corporations Regulations 2001 issued in June 2013.
AASB 2012-2 ‘Amendments
to Australian Accounting
Standards – Disclosures –
Offsetting Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities’
The consolidated entity has applied the amendments to AASB 7 ‘Disclosures –
Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’ for the first time in the current
year. The amendments to AASB 7 require entities to disclose information about
rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements)
for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or
similar arrangement. The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As
the consolidated entity does not have any offsetting arrangements in place,
the application of the amendments does not have any material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2012-9 ‘Amendment
to AASB 1048 arising from
the Withdrawal of Australian
Interpretation 1039’
This standard makes amendment to AASB 1048 ‘Interpretation of Standards’
following the withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039 ‘Substantive Enactment
of Major Tax Bills in Australia’. The adoption of this amending standard does not
have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements
AASB CF 2013-1 ‘Amendments
to the Australian Conceptual
Framework’ and AASB
2013-9 ‘Amendments
to Australian Accounting
Standards – Conceptual
Framework, Materiality and
Financial Instruments’ (Part A
Conceptual Framework)
This amendment has incorporated IASB’s Chapters 1 and 3 Conceptual Framework
for Financial Reporting as an Appendix to the Australian Framework for the
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements. As a result the Australian
Conceptual Framework now supersedes the objective and the qualitative
characteristics of financial statements, as well as the guidance previously available
in Statement of Accounting Concepts SAC 2 ‘Objective of General Purpose Financial
Reporting’. The adoption of this amending standard does not have any material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
26
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
AASB 10 ‘Consolidated
Financial Statements’ and
AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments
to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the
consolidation and Joint
Arrangements standards’
AASB 10 replaces the parts of AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements’ that deal with consolidated financial statements and Interpretation 112
‘Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities’. AASB 10 changes the definition of control
such that an investor controls an investee when a) it has power over an investee, b)
it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee,
and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these criteria
must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was
defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as
to obtain benefits from its activities. The adoption of this amending standard does
not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’
and AASB 2011-7
‘Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising
from the consolidation and
Joint Arrangements standards’
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’, and the guidance
contained in a related interpretation, Interpretation 113 ‘Jointly Controlled
Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers’, has been incorporated in
AASB 128 (as revised in 2011). AASB 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of
which two or more parties have joint control should be classified and accounted for.
The adoption of this amending standard does not have any material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of
Interests in Other Entities’ and
AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments
to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the
consolidation and Joint
Arrangements standards’
AASB 13 ‘Fair Value
Measurement’ and AASB 2011-
8 ‘Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising
from AASB 13’
AASB 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests
in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured
entities. In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted in more extensive
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 13 for the first time in the current year.
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and
disclosures about fair value measurements. AASB 13 defines fair value as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement
date under current market conditions. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price
regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another
valuation technique. Also, AASB 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.
The adoption of this amending standard does not have any material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2012-10
‘Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards –
Transition Guidance and
Other Amendments’
This standard amends AASB 10 and various Australian Accounting Standards
to revise the transition guidance on the initial application of those Standards.
This standard also clarifies the circumstances in which adjustments to an entity’s
previous accounting for its involvement with other entities are required and the
timing of such adjustments. The adoption of this amending standard does not
have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’
(2011) and AASB 2011-10
‘Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising
from AASB 119 (2011)’
In the current year, the consolidated entity has applied AASB 119 (as revised in 2011)
‘Employee Benefits’ and the related consequential amendments for the first time.
The adoption of this amended standard does not have any material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTScontinuedFoR tHe YeAR ended 30 June 2014 Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with
the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity. For the purposes
of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated entity is a for-profit entity.
Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards
ensures that the financial statements and notes of the company and the consolidated entity comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
Basis of preparation
Historical cost convention
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain non-current
assets and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting
policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All
amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Fair value is the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date,
regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the
fair value of an asset or a liability, the consolidated entity takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if
market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement
date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on
such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that
are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such
as net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the
degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair
value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can
access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The areas
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the
financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.
Accounting for construction contracts
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference
to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date, measured based on the proportion of contract
costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be
representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the
extent that they have been agreed with the customer. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated
reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.
Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Where construction contracts are
still in the completion stage, they are included as work in progress.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an
expense immediately.
29
GR EnGinEERinG SERvicES LimitEd AnnUAL REPORt 2014NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including
structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
• has power over the investee;
• is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
• has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when
the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee uNilaterally.
The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights
in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
• the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other
vote holders;
• potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
• rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
• any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability
to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous
shareholders’ meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the
Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of
during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the
date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and
to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company
and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into
line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members
of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director of the consolidated entity.
Foreign currency translation
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is GR Engineering Services Limited’s functional and
presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of
the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are recognised in profit or loss.
30
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTScontinuedFoR tHe YeAR ended 30 June 2014 Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average
exchange rates, which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The functional currency of GR Engineering Services (UK) Limited is Great British pounds. The functional currency of other
foreign subsidiaries of the consolidated entity is United States dollars.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value was determined.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the consolidated entity
and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Sales revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred to the buyer the significant
risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion.
Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses

Interest
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument)
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

GR EnGinEERinG SERvicES LimitEd AnnUAL REPORt 2014NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
income tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the
statement of profit or loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items
that are never taxable or deductible. The consolidated entity’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for the financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
• except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction
that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable
profit or loss; and
• in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests
in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is
probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets
and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:
• except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
• in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests
in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary
differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset
to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income.
Unearned income
Unearned income classified as a current liability consists of customer advances for construction work in progress.
The consolidated entity recognises a liability upon receipt of customer advances and then subsequently recognised as
revenue when earned.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an
allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written
off when identified.
32
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTScontinuedFoR tHe YeAR ended 30 June 2014 inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the
initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at
either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose
of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted. The fair values of quoted investments
are based on current bid prices. For unlisted investments, the consolidated entity establishes fair value by using valuation
techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that
are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have
been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
an active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
Available for sale financial assets
Listed shares and listed redeemable notes held by the consolidated entity that are traded in an active market are
classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value.
Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective
interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss.
Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated
in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends on available for sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the consolidated entity’s right
to receive the dividends is established.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a
financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the
issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower
concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the
borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial
asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.
When an available for sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised
in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between
the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective
interest rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been
recognised had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or loss.
33
GR EnGinEERinG SERvicES LimitEd AnnUAL REPORt 2014NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
– Property, plant and equipment – over 2.5 to 20 years
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed
the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss in the cost of sales line item.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued used of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of profit or loss in the period the item is derecognised.
Leases
Finance leases, which transfer to the consolidated entity substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership
of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the
present value of the minimum lease payments.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as
operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of
the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as the lease income.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.
Where an indicator of impairment exists, the consolidated entity makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to
its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset,
unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable
amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
34
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTScontinuedFoR tHe YeAR ended 30 June 2014 Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not
discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue
costs associated with the borrowing.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.
Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the
amortisation process.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of
a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the consolidated entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed the reimbursement is recognised
as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is
presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, 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, where appropriate,
the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service
leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the
remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future
cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Share-based payments
Share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the share based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the
vesting period, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end
of each reporting period, the consolidated entity revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to
vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative
expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.
Share based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or
services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the
fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty
renders the service.

GR EnGinEERinG SERvicES LimitEd AnnUAL REPORt 2014NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown
in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy back, those instruments
are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and
the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised
directly in equity.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of GR Engineering Services Limited,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the
weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential
ordinary shares.
De-recognition of financial instruments
The de-recognition of a financial instrument takes place when the consolidated entity no longer controls the
contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument, which is normally the case when the instrument is sold,
or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed through to an independent third party.
Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred on a
purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or
payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are
classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the
taxation authority.
36
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTScontinuedFoR tHe YeAR ended 30 June 2014 Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets
transferred by the consolidated entity, liabilities incurred by the consolidated entity to the former owners of the acquire
and the equity instruments issued by the consolidated entity in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related
costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value,
except that:
• deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and
measured in accordance with AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ and AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ respectively;
• liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment
arrangements of the consolidated entity entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquire are
measured in accordance with AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ at the acquisition date; and
• assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for
Sale and Discontinued Operations’ are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any)
over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after
reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds
the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of
the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a
bargain purchase gain.
intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially
recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported
at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is
recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life
and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect
of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
37
GR EnGinEERinG SERvicES LimitEd AnnUAL REPORt 2014NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements
and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its
judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations
of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements
and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective
notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference
to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date, measured based on the proportion of contract
costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be
representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the
extent that they have been agreed with the customer. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated
reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.
Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Where construction contracts
are still in the completion stage, they are included as work in progress.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as
an expense immediately.
Because the consolidated entity predominantly undertakes projects on an Engineering, Procurement & Construction
(“EPC”) turnkey design and construction contract basis, all the risk associated with cost, time, plant performance and
plant warranty (defects period) rests with the consolidated entity. As such the consolidated entity is responsible for the
total “make-good” of any defects of underperformance.
The consolidated entity includes a project completion and close out provision (liability) in design and construction
project cost forecast reports, nominally being 3% of the project costs. This percentage has been assessed based
on management’s best estimate.
NOTE 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Operating segments have been identified on the basis of internal reports of the consolidated entity that are regularly
reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their
performance. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Managing Director. On a regular basis,
the board receives financial information on a company basis similar to the financial statements presented in the
financial report, to manage and allocate their resources.
The Managing Director has chosen to classify the operations of the consolidated entity by reference to presence
in an industry. The segments identified on this basis are “mineral processing” and “oil and gas”.

Cash on hand
Cash at bank
Cash on deposit
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is $32,193,955 (2013: $16,218,685).
Cash at bank and in hand earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank rates.
Short-term deposits are made for varying periods of between one day and three

remain in place for the life of the projects so although they are cash balances
they are classified as other receivables. Of this amount, $3,891,099 relates
to bank guarantees to be returned in the 2015-2016 financial year so this
term deposit is classed as non-current (2013: $13,231,115).

The ageing of the past due but not impaired receivables are as follows:

Over 6 months overdue
In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the consolidated
entity considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from
the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period.
The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer
base is large and unrelated.

The consolidated entity is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments.
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure of the consolidated entity to a 5% increase or
decrease in equity prices at the end of the reporting period.
– profit for the year ended 30 June 2014 would have been unaffected as the equity investments are classified as
available-for-sale and no investments were disposed of or impaired; and
– other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2014 would increase by $30,085 (2013: Nil) as a result of an
increase of 5% in equity prices, and decrease by $30,085 (2013: Nil) as a result of a decrease of 5% in equity prices.

Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss to the
consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a
means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The consolidated entity uses independent rating agencies,
publicly available financial information and other trading records to rate its major customers. Legally binding contracts
are entered into to determine payment terms in relation to major projects.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by
international credit rating agencies.
The consolidated entity does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties.
Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the consolidated entity’s short-, medium- and
long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining
adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the
maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Liquidity and interest rate risk tables
The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities.
The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date
on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed
as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of
financial position.

For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree
to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
– Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date;
– Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
– Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

impact of acquisitions on the results of the consolidated entity
Included in the profit before tax for the year is $166,439 attributable to the additional business generated by
Production Solutions. Revenue contributed by additional business generated by Production Solutions for the financial
year is $4,237,654.
Based on a linear extension of the above profit and revenue, had this business combination been effected at 1 July
2013, the revenue of the consolidated entity from continuing operations would increase by approximately $22,400,000,
and the profit for the year from continuing operations would increase by approximately $900,000. The directors of the
consolidated entity consider these ‘pro-forma’ numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of
the consolidated entity on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.

GR EnGinEERinG SERvicES LimitEd AnnUAL REPORt 2014CORPORatE
GOVERnanCE StatEmEnt
GR Engineering Services Ltd (“the Company”) has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability
as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and
procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the
Company’s needs. To the extent they are applicable, the Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Principles
and Recommendations (“Principles & Recommendations”) as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.
A summary of the Company’s corporate governance practices is set out below.
Summary of Board Charter
The role of the Board is to provide leadership for and supervision of the Company’s senior management. The Board
provides the strategic direction of the Company and regularly measures the progression by senior management of
that strategic direction. The Board is responsible for promoting the success of the Company through its oversight role.
The Board also reviews the Company’s policies on risk oversight and management, internal compliance and control, its
Code of Conduct, and legal compliance. There are mechanisms in place so that the Board can satisfy itself that senior
management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control in relation to
financial reporting risk and material business risk. The Board monitors and reviews senior management’s performance
and implementation of strategy.
The Board Charter also sets out quantitative and qualitative materiality thresholds.
The Board delegates to senior management the responsibility of the day-to-day activities in fulfilling the Board’s
responsibility. Senior executives are responsible for supporting the Managing Director and assisting the Managing
Director in the running of the general operations and financial business of the Company, in accordance with the
delegated authority of the Board.
Senior executives are responsible for reporting all matters which fall within the Company’s materiality thresholds at
first instance to the Managing Director or, if the matter concerns the Managing Director then directly to the Chair or
the lead independent Director, as appropriate.
The Board Charter describes the division of responsibilities between the Chair, the lead independent Director and the
Managing Director.
The role of non-executive and independent directors is also set out in the Board Charter.
Summary of Audit and Risk Committee Charter
The role of the audit and risk committee is to monitor and review the integrity of the financial reporting of the
Company and to review significant financial reporting judgments. The audit and risk committee is also to review the
Company’s internal financial control system and risk management systems and to monitor, review and oversee the
external audit function.
The audit and risk committee has the power to conduct or authorise investigations into any matters within the audit
and risk committee’s scope of responsibilities. The audit and risk committee has the authority, as it deems necessary
or appropriate, to retain independent legal, accounting or other advisors.
The audit and risk committee also assesses whether external reporting is consistent with audit and risk committee
members’ information and knowledge and is adequate for shareholder needs and assesses the management processes
supporting external reporting.
Summary of Nomination Committee Charter
The role of the nomination committee is to effectively examine the selection and appointment practices of the Company.
The nomination committee regularly reviews the size and composition of the Board and makes recommendations to the
Board on any appropriate changes. The nomination committee identifies and assesses necessary and desirable Director
competencies with a view to enhancing the Board.
The nomination committee also regularly reviews the time required from non-executive Directors and whether non-
executive Directors are meeting that requirement.
Initial Director appointments are made by the Board. Any new Director will be required to stand for election at the
Company’s next annual general meeting following their appointment.
72
Summary of Remuneration Committee Charter
The function of the remuneration committee is to review and make appropriate recommendations on remuneration
packages of executive Directors, non-executive Directors and senior executives. The remuneration committee is also
responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans, including the appropriateness of performance
hurdles and total payments proposed.
Summary of Remuneration Policy
Emoluments of Directors and senior executives are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar
size and industry, and by reference to the skills and experience of the Directors and executives.
The Company’s policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at a fixed fee for time, commitment and responsibilities.
Remuneration for non-executive Directors is not linked to individual performance. This policy is subject to annual review.
From time to time, and subject to obtaining the relevant approvals, the Company may grant options to non-executive
Directors. The grant of options is designed to recognise and reward efforts as well as to provide non-executive Directors
with additional incentive to continue those efforts for the benefit of the Company.
Executive pay and reward consists of a base salary and performance incentives. Long term performance incentives may
include options granted at the discretion of the Board and subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory and shareholder
approvals. The grant of options is designed to recognise and reward efforts as well as to provide additional incentive and
may be subject to the successful completion of performance hurdles.
Executives are prohibited from entering into transactions or arrangements which limit the economic risk of participating
in unvested entitlements.
Summary of Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct sets out the principles and standards which the Board, management and employees of the
Company are encouraged to strive towards when dealing with each other, shareholders, other stakeholders and the
broader community.
The Company is to comply with all legislative and common law requirements which affect its business. The Company
will deal with others in a way that is fair and will not engage in deceptive practices.
The Code of Conduct sets out directives for Directors, management and staff relating to conflicts of interests, protection
of the Company’s assets and confidentiality.
Summary of Policy and Procedure for Selection and (Re)Appointment of Directors
In considering new candidates, the nomination committee evaluates the range of skills, experience and expertise of
the existing Board. In particular, the nomination committee is to identify the particular skills that will best increase the
Board’s effectiveness. In this process, consideration is also given to the balance of independent Directors on the Board,
while reference is made to the Company’s size and operations as they evolve from time to time. Any appointment made
by the Board is subject to ratification by shareholders at the next general meeting.
All Directors are required to consider the number and nature of their directorships and calls on their time from
other commitments.
Shareholders shall be informed of the names and details of candidates submitted for election as Directors, in order
to enable shareholders to make an informed decision regarding the election.
Summary of Process for Performance Evaluation
The Chair evaluates the performance of the Board by way of an informal round-table discussion with all directors and
through questionnaires completed by each director.
The Chair reviews the performance of the committees of the Board by way on an informal round-table discussion with
all directors and through questionnaires completed by each director who is a member of the committee being evaluated.
Individual director’s performance evaluations are completed by the Chair. The Chair meets with each individual director
and reviews questionnaires completed by each director.

GR EnGinEERinG SERvicES LimitEd AnnUAL REPORt 2014CORPORatE
GOVERnanCE StatEmEnt
Summary of Process for Performance Evaluation (continued)
The Managing Director’s performance evaluation is conducted by the Chair. The Chair conducts a performance
evaluation of the Managing Director by way of meeting with the Managing Director and with an informal round-table
discussion with all directors, and by reference to the Managing Director’s key performance indicators which are set
by the Nomination Committee.
The Managing Director reviews the performance of the senior executives. The Managing Director conducts a
performance evaluation of the senior executives by way of on-going informal monitoring throughout each financial
year and at an annual formal interview.
Summary of Policy for Trading in Company Securities
The Board has adopted a policy which prohibits dealing in the Company’s securities by directors, officers, specified
employees (including connected persons) and, contractors when those persons possess inside information. The policy
also contains a blackout period within which directors, officers and employees are prohibited from trading. The policy
prohibits short term or speculative trading of the Company’s securities. Trading may be permitted in a blackout period
in certain exceptional circumstances subject to obtaining prior written clearance. Directors, officers and specified
employees are required to obtain clearance prior to trading at all times.
Summary of Diversity Policy
The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy which describes the Company’s commitment to ensuring a diverse mix of
skills and talent exists amongst its directors, officers and employees, to enhance Company performance. The Diversity
Policy addresses equal opportunities in the hiring, training and career advancement of directors, officers and employees.
The Diversity Policy outlines the process by which the Board will set measurable objectives to achieve the aims of
its Diversity Policy. The Board is responsible for monitoring Company performance in meeting the Diversity Policy
requirements, including the achievement of any diversity objectives.
Women comprise approximately 18% of the Company’s total workforce and approximately 10% of the Company’s
professionally qualified personnel. Women are not represented in the Company’s senior executive team.
The Board recognises the under representation by women in its professional and executive workforce. Therefore and
subject to identifying female candidates with the requisite qualifications and experience, it is the Board’s objective to
improve on this percentage and if possible increase it to 15% by 30 June 2017.
The Company will continue to facilitate flexible working hours to enable all employees to meet ongoing training and
education and in particular in enable female staff members to balance their professional and domestic commitments.
This is an important element of the Company’s strategy of attracting more professionally qualified women to its workforce.
The Company listed on ASX in April 2011 after an exhaustive search for Board members of suitable skills, experience
and qualifications. The Board is comprised of three male non-executive and three male executive directors. The Board
recognises that it would be beneficial to have on its Board an independent female non-executive director to widen
the Board’s skill set and to add experience and broadened perspective to the assessment of information and decision
making. However, the Company has not sought to expand its Board during the year under review and therefore has
not sought candidates for any Board position.
Subject to the Company achieving this strategy for growth, the Board will identify a suitable candidate for an additional
non-executive directorship. Consistent with its policy on gender diversity the Company will consider a female for this
position provided that the appointment satisfies Board composition requirements at the time.
Summary of Compliance Procedures
The Board has adopted Compliance Procedures to assist it to comply with the Listing Rules disclosure requirements.
Under the Compliance Procedures, a responsible officer is appointed who is primarily responsible for ensuring the
Company complies with its disclosure obligations. The duties of the responsible officer are set out in the Compliance
Procedures. The Compliance Procedures provide guidelines as to the type of information that needs to be disclosed
and encourages thorough recording of disclosure decision making. The Compliance Procedures contain information on
avoiding a false market, safeguarding confidentiality of corporate information, and information on external communication
for the purpose of protecting the Company’s price sensitive information. The Compliance Procedures also provide
guidance relating to potential disclosure material.
74
continuedSummary of Procedure for the Selection, Appointment and Rotation of External Auditor
The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external
auditor when any vacancy arises, as per the recommendations of the Audit and Risk Committee.
Candidates for the position of external auditor of the Company must be able to demonstrate complete independence
from the Company and an ability to maintain independence through the engagement period.
The Audit and Risk Committee will review the performance of the external auditor on an annual basis and make any
recommendations to the Board.
Summary of Shareholder Communication Strategy
The Board aims to ensure that the shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company.
The Company provides shareholder materials directly to shareholders through electronic means. A shareholder may
request a hard copy of the Company’s annual report to be posted to them. The Company maintains a website on
which the Company makes certain information available on a regular basis.
Summary of Risk management Policy
The Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy. Under the policy, the Board delegates day-to-day management of
risk to the Managing Director, with the assistance of senior management as required. The Policy sets out the role and
accountabilities of the Managing Director. It also contains the Company’s risk profile and describes some of the policies
and practices the Company has in place to manage specific business risks.
The Managing Director is required to report on the progress of, and on all matters associated with risk management.
The Managing Director is to report to the Board as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material
business risks at least annually.
The Board is responsible for approving the Company’s policies on risk oversight and management and satisfying
itself at least annually that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and
internal control.
As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of
additional corporate governance structures will be given further consideration.

the Company’s Process for Performance Evaluation.
PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE
Recommendation 2.1: A majority of the board should be independent Directors.
Disclosure:
The Board has a majority of Directors who are independent.
The independent Directors of the Company are Peter Hood, Terrence Strapp and Barry Patterson (deemed independent).
The Board deems Barry Patterson to be an independent director notwithstanding his substantial shareholding in the
Company because he is not a member of management and is otherwise free of any business or other relationship
(including those referred to in Box 2.1 of the Principles & Recommendations and the Company’s Policy on Assessing
the Independence of Directors) that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially
interfere with, the independent exercise of his judgment. Furthermore, Barry Patterson’s interests as a major
shareholder are considered by the Board to be in line with the interests of all other shareholders.
The non independent Directors of the Company are Joseph Ricciardo, Tony Patrizi and Geoff Jones.
Recommendation 2.2: The Chair should be an independent Director.
Disclosure:
The position of Chair of the Board was held by Barry Patterson prior to 26 June 2013, after this date this position
is held by Joseph Ricciardo.
Joseph Ricciardo holds a substantial shareholding in the Company so is not considered to be independent,

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE (continued)
Recommendation 2.6: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to Reporting on Principle 2.
Disclosure:
A profile of each Director containing their skills, experience, expertise and term of office is set out in the Directors Report.
As noted above, the independent Directors of the Company are Peter Hood, Terrence Strapp and Barry Patterson
(deemed independent). These directors are independent as they are non executive Directors who are not members
of management and who are free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could
reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of their judgement.
Independence is measured having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.1 of the Principles & Recommendations
and the Company’s materiality thresholds.
To assist Directors with independent judgement, it is the Board’s policy that if a Director considers it necessary to
obtain independent professional advice to properly discharge the responsibility of their office as a Director then,
provided the Director first obtains approval for incurring such expense from the Chair, the Company will pay the
reasonable expenses associated with obtaining such advice.
The Board has established a Nomination Committee. Barry Patterson (chair), Peter Hood, Terrence Strapp and Joe
Ricciardo are members of the Nomination Committee. The Company’s Nomination Committee Charter is summarised
above in the section titled “Summary of Nomination Committee Charter.”
Performance evaluations of the Board, its Committees and the Directors will be conducted from time to time in
accordance with the Company’s Process for Performance Evaluation.
In determining candidates for the Board, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) follows a prescribed
procedure summarised in the section titled “Summary of Policy and Procedure for Selection and (Re)Appointment
of Directors” above.
The Board recognises that Board renewal is critical to performance and the impact of Board tenure on succession
planning. Each director other than the Managing Director, must not hold office (without re-election) past the third
annual general meeting of the Company following the Director’s appointment or three years following that Director’s last
election or appointment (whichever is longer). However, a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to
the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the Company. At each annual
general meeting a minimum of one director or a third or the total number of Directors must resign. A Director who retires
at an annual general meeting is eligible for re-election at that meeting. Re-appointment of Directors is not automatic.
PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING
Recommendation 3.1: Companies should establish a Code of Conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the
code as to the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s integrity, the practices necessary to take
