Dear Shareholder

I report to you on GR Engineering Services Limited’s (GR Engineering or the 
Company) performance for the year ended 30 June 2020 (FY20).

The FY20 year was a difficult year for the mining and oil and gas sectors given 
volatility in global markets and commodity prices, as well as the impact of 
COVID-19. It was satisfying to note that despite these challenging trading 
conditions, GR Engineering was able to achieve a strong second half result.

During FY20 and subsequent to year end, GR Engineering has continued to 
increase its pipeline of future work across a broad base of commodities, including 
precious metals, base metals and industrial minerals. As reported in the FY20 
annual report, key projects awarded to GR Engineering during the second half of 
FY20 included the $107 million Lake Way Project for Salt Lake Potash Limited and 
the $74 million Abra Base Metals Project for Galena Mining Limited.

Our pipeline has also been increased by multiple Engineering, Procurement and 
Construction project awards in the gold space for clients including Saracen Mineral 
Holdings Limited, Silver Lake Resources Limited, Ora Banda Mining Limited and 
Ramelius Resources Limited.

GR Engineering’s expertise across a broad range of commodities is also reflected 
in its study activity. GR Engineering study work during FY20 has exposure to 
multiple commodities including gold, copper, nickel, zinc, mineral sands, potash, 
battery minerals, alumina and lithium, with projects located in Australia and 
overseas.

In February 2020, GR Engineering acquired Hanlon Engineering & Associates 
Inc. (Hanlon), a multi-disciplinary engineering firm, based in Tucson, Arizona. The 
acquisition is aligned to our strategic plan and we look forward to growing our 
footprint in the Americas in the coming years.

As previously reported at 31 December 2019, the full year results for FY20 were 
negatively impacted by the impairment of an outstanding receivable relating to 
the Northern Endeavour FPSO, owed by Timor Sea Oil & Gas Pty Ltd (liquidators 
appointed) (TOGA) to GR Engineering’s wholly owned subsidiary, Upstream 
Production Solutions Pty Ltd (Upstream PS). The amount written off was  
$17.6 million.

It is pleasing that following this write-off, Upstream PS was able to secure a 
contract with the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources of the 
Australian Government to provide operations and maintenance services to the 
Northern Endeavour FPSO in a non-production environment. 

Importantly, the Company’s operational outcomes were achieved whilst 
maintaining a solid safety record. During FY20, the Total Reportable Injury 
Frequency Rate was 3.77. Whilst this statistic compares favourably to industry 
averages, GR Engineering continues to strive for a zero harm work environment on 
all jobs and at all locations. 

GR Engineering continues to navigate through the impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic. Whilst not having a material impact on the FY20 results, GR 
Engineering has had to manage delayed deliveries and the impact of tight labour 
markets. Offshore business development activities have also been impacted by 
COVID-19. Whilst providing significant challenges, the commitment and response 
of the team to COVID-19 has been excellent.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

GR Engineering’s revenue in FY20 was $222.4 million (FY19: $182.3 million) and underlying 
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) was $11.3 million  
(FY19 EBITDA: $9.9 million).

Despite the adverse impact on earnings and cash in relation to the write-off of the TOGA 
receivable, GR Engineering’s ability to generate solid operational cashflows remains intact, as 
cash increased to $37.5 million at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: $31.4 million). Having regards to 
underlying earnings, cash available, anticipated working capital requirements and the strong future 
pipeline of work, your Board resolved to declare a final FY20 dividend of 4.0 cents per share, 
unfranked. The ex-dividend date for this dividend is 8 October 2020, the Record Date is 9 October 
2020 and the Payment Date is 21 October 2020. 

As always I am grateful to our employees, suppliers and particularly our clients for their ongoing 
support throughout FY20. I would also like to thank my fellow Board members for their insightful 
guidance and counsel.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The year under review saw the consolidated entity increase revenue from $182.3 million during FY19 to $222.4 million. The 
increase in revenue was the result of the ramp up of a number of key projects in the second half of the financial year. In 
addition, GR Engineering’s wholly owned subsidiary, Upstream Production Solutions Pty Ltd (Upstream PS) also achieved 
important contract wins and extensions during the second half of the financial year. 

During FY20, GR Engineering successfully completed the Carrapateena Northern Wellfield Water Supply Project for OZ 
Minerals Carrapateena Pty Ltd and the Fosterville Paste Plant Project for Kirkland Lake Gold Limited.

As reported in the financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2019 (HY20), the FY20 results were negatively 
impacted by the write-off of an outstanding debtor owed by Timor Sea Oil & Gas Australia Pty Ltd (liquidators appointed) 
(TOGA). The write-off was $17.6 million.

Despite the TOGA write-off, it was pleasing to note that GR Engineering was able to maintain a strong balance sheet and 
significantly increase its cash balance to $37.5 million at 30 June 2020 from $20.7 million at 31 December 2019. In addition 
to its cash balance, GR Engineering’s holding in Ora Banda Mining Limited (OBM) was valued at $5.3 million based on 
OBM’s share price on 19 August 2020.  

GR Engineering has been proactive in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has implemented a range of protective 
and preventative measures. COVID-19 has had no material impact on the FY20 results.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, 30,000 ordinary shares were issued due to the vesting of Performance Rights.

INDEMNIFYING OFFICERS OR AUDITORS

During the financial year, the consolidated entity paid insurance premiums relating to contracts insuring the directors and 
company secretary against liability which may arise in connection with them acting as Director or Company Secretary, to the 
extent permitted under the Corporations Act. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and 
the amount of the premium.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

No person has applied for leave of court to bring proceedings on behalf of the consolidated entity or intervene in any 
proceedings to which the consolidated entity is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the consolidated 
entity for all or any part of those proceedings.

NON AUDIT SERVICES

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is consistent with the general 
standard of independence imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

Non-audit services were reviewed by the Board to ensure they do not compromise the objectivity of the Auditor and to 
ensure the nature of services provided is not inconsistent with the principals of auditor independence.  Set out in APES 110: 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board.

During the year ended 30 June 2020, fees amounting to $79,056 were paid to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu for non-audit 
services including taxation advice. 

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

The Auditor’s Independence Declaration for the year ended 30 June 2020 has been reviewed and can be found at page 21 
of the annual financial report.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

In conducting its business, the consolidated entity is required to obtain permits and licences from relevant state 
environment protection authorities.  It is of paramount importance to management and the Board of Directors that as well as 
operating within its own Environmental Policies, the consolidated entity observes all relevant licences in good standing. The 
consolidated entity has not been made aware of any areas of non-compliance in this regard.

of remuneration for services such sums as may from time to time be determined by the consolidated entity in General 
Meeting, to be divided among the Directors in such proportions as they shall from time to time agree or in default of 
agreement, equally. 

Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the consolidated entity to align their personal objectives with the growth and 
profitability of the consolidated entity.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

Executive Directors’ pay and reward is comprised of a competitive base salary.  To the extent that executive directors are 
shareholders in the consolidated entity, their personal objectives are aligned with the performance of the consolidated entity.

LONG TERM INCENTIVES

Equity Incentive Plan

The GR Engineering Services Limited 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (Plan) was adopted by the Board on 25 October 2019. 
In accordance with the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), shareholder approval of the Plan was 
obtained at the consolidated entity’s Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2019. 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. Eligible participants in the Plan include those defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (CO) or as determined by the 
Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time. 

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 consolidated entity and therefore direct participation in the benefits of future 
consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 

and vesting upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions; and

•  Share Appreciation Rights (SARs), being rights to receive a future payment in shares, based on the amount of increase in 
market value of one share in the consolidated entity 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 2020, a total of 50,000 Performance Rights were issued in accordance with the terms and 
conditions of the Plan. A total of 1,850,000 Performance Rights were on issue as at 30 June 2020.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

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. The 
registered office and principal place of business of GR Engineering Services Limited is located at 71 Daly Street, Ascot, 
Western Australia. 

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 19 August 2020. 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 year 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 (“AASB”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting 
period beginning 1 July 2019. 

The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to 
the consolidated entity include:

•  AASB 16 Leases

•  AASB 2017-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

•  AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2015–2017 Cycle

• 

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Impact on Application

The only new standard adopted which has had a material impact on the consolidated entity’s result has been that of AASB 
16 Leases (“AASB 16”). It is discussed in further detail below.

AASB 16: Leases

AASB 16 Leases replaces previous accounting requirements for leases under AASB 117 Leases. Under AASB 16 Leases, 
the consolidated entity’s accounting for operating leases as a lessee results in the recognition of a right-of-use (ROU) asset 
and an associated lease liability on the Statement of Financial Position. The lease liability represents the present value of 
future lease payments over the estimated remaining lease term, with the exception of short-term and low value leases. 
An interest expense is recognised on the lease liabilities and a depreciation charge will be recognised for the ROU assets. 
There are also additional disclosure requirements under the new standard.

The consolidated entity has assessed all relevant contracts to determine if they result in a lease being recognised under 
AASB 16. Short term and low value leases have been excluded. The consolidated entity has recognised right of use assets 
and liabilities as at 1 July 2019 for their term rental agreements for office premises located in Western Australia, Queensland 
and Victoria, with the useful life of the assets for depreciation purposes and the lease term being equal to the remaining 
contractual term of the property leases. The cumulative catch up approach has been used, where comparative information 
for the previous financial year is not required to be restated and no adjustments are made to the opening balance of retained 
earnings as at 1 July 2019. The consolidated entity already had existing finance leases relating to motor vehicles, which are 
also disclosed within borrowings.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

The lease liabilities in respect to the office premises have been measured at the present value of the remaining lease 
payments over the estimated remaining lease term, discounted using the consolidated entity’s incremental borrowing rate 
as at 1 July 2019. The weighted average interest rate used for discounting is 6%. This rate takes into account the particular 
circumstances applicable to the underlying leased assets (including the amount, lease term, economic environment and 
other relevant factors). Leases with similar characteristics have been grouped together, predominantly on the basis of 
geography and lease length. 

Reconciliation of operating lease commitments disclosed in the annual financial report at 30 June 2019 to lease liabilities at 
1 July 2019

Operating lease commitments disclosed at 30 June 2019

Less: short term and low value agreements not assessed as leases

Add: new agreements or adjustments for those reassessed as leases

Right of use assets were measured at amounts equal to the carrying amount of the respective lease liabilities on the adoption 
date, totalling $3,175,853. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right of use 
assets on the adoption date.  Depreciation is recognised for right of use assets on a straight line basis over the remaining lease 
term. Under AASB 16, right of use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.

Leases accounting policy

The new accounting policy of the Consolidated entity on adoption of AASB 16 is detailed under “Leases”.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

The Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective and 
have not been adopted by the consolidated entity for the year ended 30 June 2020 are detailed below. Only those that may 
have an impact on the consolidated entity have been listed.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

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.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the consolidated entity and entities (including 
structured entities) controlled by the consolidated entity and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the consolidated entity:

•  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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the consolidated entity’s 
voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

•  the size of the consolidated entity’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other 

vote holders;

•  potential voting rights held by the consolidated entity, other vote holders or other parties;

•  rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

•  any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the 
consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity gains control until the date when the consolidated entity ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the consolidated entity and 
to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the consolidated 
entity 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 consolidated entity’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of 
the consolidated entity 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.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

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.

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 exchange rates 
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. 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 GR 
Engineering Services (Greece) is Euro. The functional currency of GR Engineering Services Turkey is Turkish Lira. 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 for the two segments: Mineral Processing and Oil & Gas.

Mineral Processing 

The Mineral Processing segment includes Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) contracts and Engineering, 
Procurement & Construction Management (EPCM) Contracts.

In these contracts, the consolidated entity provides services comprising design and construction of minerals processing 
facilities and associated infrastructure for complete greenfields or brownfields projects including plant modifications, 
upgrades and expansions, plant evaluation and condition reports, plant operations and maintenance support and 
optimisation, plant relocation, refurbishment and recommissioning, and provision of owners representatives and teams 
for project management and delivery. Project management services also include project studies (concept through to 
bankable feasibility), engineering and procurement, construction and commissioning, asset management plans and system 
development, operations and technical support (audits, reviews and consulting), and infrastructure development. 

EPC and EPCM contracts generally contain a single performance obligation because the activities are highly integrated with 
each other to represent the combined output for which the customer has contracted, and therefore are not distinct from 
one another. Additionally, whilst some of the services could be provided to the customer individually, this is not the business 
practice as customers engage the consolidated entity to provide a start to end service.

The consolidated entity enters into lump sum contracts or guaranteed maximum price contracts.  In some cases, variable 
consideration is present in the contract in the form of, for example, bonus payments or penalties based on performance, 
or variations. Where variable consideration is present in a contract, the constraint of estimates of variable consideration 
is applied as necessary by assessing the historical performance of the consolidated entity on similar contracts and 
consideration of factors that are outside the consolidated entity’s influence.  Revenue for EPC and EPCM contracts is 
recognised over time because the performance creates and enhances an asset controlled by the customer as the work is 
performed. The asset is specific to the customer as it cannot be sold elsewhere or have another use, and the consolidated 
entity is entitled to payment for work performed. In recognising revenue over time, the consolidated entity measures the 
satisfaction of progress using cost as an input as cost faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Oil & Gas 

Oil and Gas contracts comprise the delivery of operations and maintenance, wellsites, engineering and production assurance 
services to the customer base. Under these contracts, the services provided is the provision of labour as well as the 
procurement of equipment for the customer on an as needs basis. These arrangements can be long or short term and are 
generally structured as an overarching master agreement, with individual work orders made by the customer. Each work order 
will specify the services to be performed. The combination of the master agreement and each work order forms the contract. 

Each work order is deemed to be a contract and each work order is generally considered to be one performance obligation. 
These contracts do not have a fixed fee and the customer is charged based on the number of labour hours incurred, 
multiplied by agreed rates contained in the master agreement. Equipment may also be provided to customers which is 
charged on a recoverable basis as and when the equipment is procured and provided to the customer.

Revenue for contracts in this segment is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes 
the benefits of the services being provided as they are performed.  The consolidated entity will bill the client on a monthly 
basis based on hours incurred multiplied by the agreed rates or on a cost plus basis. This will also include any recoverable 
expenditure incurred for equipment provided in respect of that period. Therefore, the consolidated entity has a right to 
consideration from its customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the consolidated 
entity’s performance completed to date and hence the consolidated entity has decided to adopt the practical expedient of 
recognising revenue on a billings basis.

Tender costs

Tender costs are expensed as they are not incremental costs to obtaining the contract.

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.

Contract fulfilment costs

Significant costs incurred prior to the commencement of a contract may arise for example due to mobilisation / site setup costs 
and tender costs. These activities are costs incurred to fulfil a contract. Where these costs are expected to be recovered, they 
are capitalised and amortised over the course of the contract consistent with the transfer of a service to the customer. Where 
the costs, or a portion of these costs, are reimbursed by the customer, the amount received is recognised as deferred revenue 
and allocated to the performance obligations within the contract and recognised as revenue over the course of the contract.

Loss making contracts

When it is probable that total contract costs for a project will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as 
an expense immediately.

Contract assets and liabilities

AASB 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’ to describe what is commonly known as ‘accrued revenue’ 
and ‘deferred revenue’. Contract receivables represent receivables in respect of which the consolidated entity’s right to 
consideration is unconditional subject only to the passage of time. Contract receivables are non-derivative financial assets 
accounted for in accordance with the consolidated entity’s accounting policy for financial assets set out in Note 23. Contract 
assets represent the consolidated entity’s right to consideration for services provided to customers for which the consolidated 
entity’s right remains conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities arise where payment is 
received prior to work being performed. Contract assets and contract liabilities are recognised and measured in accordance 
with this accounting policy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

NOTE 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.

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.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated entity’s statement of financial position when the 
consolidated entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to 
the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair 
value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as 
appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial 
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Financial assets 

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular 
way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame 
established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending 
on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:

•  the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect 

contractual cash flows; and

•  the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal 

and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive 
income (FVTOCI):

•  the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows 

and selling the financial assets; and

•  the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal 

and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Despite the foregoing, the consolidated entity may make the following irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition 
of a financial asset:

•  the consolidated entity may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other 

comprehensive income if certain criteria are met; and

•  the consolidated entity may irrevocably designate a debt investment that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as 

measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

(i) Amortised cost and effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest 
income over the relevant period.

For financial assets, the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including 
all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other 
premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where 
appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the 
principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that 
initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the 
amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at 
amortised cost and at FVTOCI. For financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to 
the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest 
income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent 
reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer 
credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the 
financial asset.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “Other income” line item (note 6).

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(ii) Equity instruments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOTCI)

On initial recognition, the consolidated entity may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to 
designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment 
is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination.

A financial asset is held for trading if:

• 

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

•  on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the consolidated entity manages 

together and has evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

• 

it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging 
instrument).

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they 
are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive 
income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss is not be reclassified to profit 
or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it is transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9, unless the 
dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

The consolidated entity has designated all investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading as at FVTOCI on 
initial application of AASB 9 (see note 13).

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. 
Specifically:

• 

Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the consolidated entity designates an equity 
investment that is neither held for trading nor a contingent consideration arising from a business combination as at 
FVTOCI on initial recognition.

•  Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria are classified as at FVTPL. In addition, 
debt instruments that meet either the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon 
initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (so 
called ‘accounting mismatch’) that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on 
them on different bases. The consolidated entity has not designated any debt instruments as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or 
losses recognised in profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss 
recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in ‘Other income’ 
(note 6).

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt instruments that are 
measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, trade receivables and contract assets. The amount of expected credit losses is 
updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

Financial assets other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. 
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the 
initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial 
assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment 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. 

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the 
exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When 
a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts 
previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account 
are recognised in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an 
event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit 
or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what 
the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

For financial instruments, the consolidated entity recognises lifetime expected credit loss (ECL) when there has been a 
significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not 
increased significantly since initial recognition, the consolidated entity measures the loss allowance for that financial 
instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

Derecognition of financial assets

The consolidated entity derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset 
expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to 
another entity. If the consolidated entity neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
and continues to control the transferred asset, the consolidated entity recognises its retained interest in the asset and an 
associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the consolidated entity retains substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the consolidated entity continues to recognise the financial asset and also 
recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount 
and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. In addition, on derecognition of 
an investment in a debt instrument classified as at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the 
investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. In contrast, on derecognition of an investment in equity 
instrument which the consolidated entity has elected on initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or 
loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to 
retained earnings.

Financial liabilities and equity 

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the 
contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments 

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its 
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the consolidated entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue 
costs.

Repurchase of the consolidated entity’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss 
is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the consolidated entity’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a 
business combination, (ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

• 

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or

•  on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the consolidated entity manages 

together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

• 

it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging 
instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business 
combination may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

•  such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise 

arise; or

•  the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and 
its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the consolidated entity’s documented risk 
management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

• 

it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract 
to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognised 
in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in 
profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in ‘Other income’ (note 6) in profit or loss.

However, for financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial 
liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in other comprehensive income, unless 
the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge 
an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. The remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognised in profit 
or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk that are recognised in other comprehensive 
income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss; instead, they are transferred to retained earnings upon 
derecognition of the financial liability.

Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) 
designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest 
expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash 
payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction 
costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter 
period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The consolidated entity derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the consolidated entity’s obligations are 
discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and 
the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

When the consolidated entity exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the 
substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the 
recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the consolidated entity accounts for substantial modification of terms of an 
existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. It is 
assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, 
including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 per cent 
different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is 
not substantial, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present 
value of the cash flows after modification should be recognised in profit or loss as the modification gain or loss within other 
gains and losses.

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.

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.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)  

Leases

Accounting policy from 1 July 2019

The consolidated entity assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The consolidated 
entity recognises as a right of use asset and a corresponding liability at the date on which the leased asset is available for 
use by the consolidated entity, except for short term or low value leases. Each lease payment is allocated between the 
liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period, so as to produce a constant 
periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis of the lease payments.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the rate cannot be determined, the 
lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used being the rate the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to 
obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Lease liabilities include the value of the following lease payments, where applicable:

•  Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

•  Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;

•  Amounts expected to be payable by the lease under residual value guarantees;

•  The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and 

•  Payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease liabilities are presented in borrowings in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using 
the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The consolidated entity remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use 
asset) whenever:

•  The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances;

•  The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payments under a guaranteed 

residual value; 

•  A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease 
liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a 
revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. 

The consolidated entity did not make any such adjustments during the current period.

The right of use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, less any lease incentives 
received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured as cost less accumulated depreciation and any 
impairment losses. 

The right of use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight line basis. 
The lease term is the current contracted lease term and the term of any lease extension option where there is a likelihood 
that the option to extend the lease will be exercised. The right of use assets are presented in property, plant and equipment 
in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The consolidated entity applies AASB 136 Impairment of Assets to determine whether a right of use asset is impaired and 
accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the policies under “Impairment of non-financial assets”.

The consolidated entity applies the short-term lease recognition exemption (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12 
months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value 
assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered low value (i.e. below $5,000). Lease payments on short-term 
leases and leases of low-value assets recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)  

Accounting policy prior to 1 July 2019

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.

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.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

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 and sick leave in 
the period the related service is rendered.

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.

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.

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.

NOTE 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.

Revenue recognition, contract assets and liabilities

Where the outcome of a mineral processing 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 contract assets.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an 
expense immediately.

Warranties

Because the consolidated entity predominantly undertakes projects on an Engineering, Procurement & Construction 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 of 3% of the project costs, or such other amount as assessed by management having regard to 
specific project requirements.

Trade and other receivables and contract assets

As disclosed in the accounting policies in Note 2, an estimate of expected credit losses in respect of trade and other 
receivables is regularly made. Bad debts are written off when identified. The allowance for expected credit losses requires 
significant estimation and judgement. The Directors and management utilise the most recent available information available 
to them such as the aging of the receivable, historical experience with the customer, historical collection rates and specific 
knowledge of the individual debtor situations to make their estimation of the recoverability of trade receivables and contract 
assets. Included in past due but not impaired balances, are situations whereby the consolidated entity will from time to time 
enter into payment plans with customers for commercial reasons. These payment plans entered into will normally extend 
the credit terms provided to the customer. In such situations, management exercise their judgement to determine their 
estimated recovery and whether any loss allowance is required to be recognised in respect of the individual debtor and any 
associated contract asset. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the consolidated entity has been assessed and it has 
not affected the recoverability of any trade receivables or contract assets.

When the assessment is made that there is an expected credit loss to be incurred, a loss allowance will be raised against a 
debtor and any contract asset to account for this expected loss. Where the estimation is different to actual results, carrying 
amounts are adjusted in the next financial period. As noted in Note 10, credit losses of $17.7 million were incurred during 
the financial year, which includes a $17.6 million write-off of an outstanding debtor owed by Timor Sea Oil & Gas Australia 
Pty Ltd (liquidators appointed).

Lease term

The management has exercised their judgement in the determination of the lease term. Management have considered 
extension options under their lease agreements and if it is reasonably certain that these options will be exercised, an 
extended lease term will be assumed.

There is no loss allowance recognised for contract assets. The consolidated entity always measures the loss allowance 
for trade receivables and contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The consolidated entity 
recognises a loss allowance of 100% against all receivables over 120 days past due because historical experience has 
indicated that these receivables are generally not recoverable. In certain circumstances, arrangements are agreed to with 
customers for commercial reasons, which would extend this time period. An allowance for expected credit losses requires 
significant judgement and estimation on behalf of the directors and management, as described in note 3.

The consolidated entity provides for a trade receivable and contract assets when there is information indicating that the 
debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed 
under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over two years past due, 
whichever occurs earlier.

Bad debts written off during the year as uncollectable amount to $17,660,944 (2019: $1,026,737).

Past due but not impaired

Customers with balances past due but without allowance for losses of 
receivables amount to $2,569,849 as at 30 June 2020 ($11,338,721 as at  
30 June 2019).

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

0 to 3 months overdue

3 to 6 months overdue

Over 6 months overdue

There are no overdue balances for contract assets.

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.

Shares and options in listed entities are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, using quoted market share 
prices. Refer to note 23 for movement during the year.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic 
purposes. Accordingly, the directors of the consolidated entity have elected to designate these investments in equity 
instruments as at fair value through other comprehensive income as they believe that recognising short-term fluctuations 
in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the consolidated entity’s strategy of holding 
these investments for long-term purposes and realising their performance potential in the long run.

Equity price risk

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.

•  other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2020 would increase by $263,138 (2019: $393,979) as a result 
of an increase of 5% in equity prices, and decrease by $263,138 (2019: $393,979) 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.

NOTE 23.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) 

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

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.

The financial assets and liabilities of the consolidated entity are classified into these categories below:

NOTE 32.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

An Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the consolidated entity on 28 March 2012, and was updated on 25 October 2019.  
At the discretion of the Board, all eligible employees of the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity and therefore direct participation in the benefits of future 
consolidated entity performance over the medium to long term.

The consolidated entity has issued a total of 5,250,000 performance rights to employees and long term contractors under 
the Plan. Each right entitles the employee to acquire one fully paid share in the consolidated entity for nil consideration, 
subject to the employees meeting a service term of three years from the date of grant. During the financial year ending  
30 June 2020 50,000 performance rights were issued under the Plan (2019: nil).

During the financial year a total of 30,000 performance rights vested (2019: 177,500). A total of 1,078,945 performance 
rights have lapsed due to resignations and redundancies of entitled employees since the date of issue of the first tranche  
of rights. Of this total 90,000 have lapsed in the financial year ending 30 June 2020 (2019: 185,000).

Opinion  

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  GR  Engineering  Services  Limited  (the  “Company”),  and  its 
subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 
June 2020, 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, and 
notes  to  the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies,  and  the 
director’s declaration.   

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i)

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and

(ii)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 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  auditor 
independence  requirements  of  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. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
the Code.  

We  confirm  that  the  independence  declaration  required  by  the Corporations Act 2001,  which  has 
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at 
the time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report of the current period. 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.

As disclosed in Note 5, revenue recognised for the 
year ended 30 June 2020 relating to both mineral 
processing and oil and gas contracts was 
$222,401,774. 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

Evaluating management’s processes and controls in 
respect of the recognition of contract revenue.  

As disclosed in Note 3, revenue and costs are 
recognised by reference to the stage of completion 
of the contract activity for mineral processing 
contracts.  

The recognition of revenue for mineral processing 
contracts requires significant management 
judgement including:  

• 

• 

•  Determining the stage of completion; 
• 
Estimating total contract revenue and 
contract cost including the estimation of 
cost contingencies; 

•  Determining contractual entitlement and 
assessing the probability of customer 
approval of variations and acceptance of 
claims; and  
Estimating the project completion date.  

• 

As part of this process we tested key controls 
including: 
• 

The preparation, review and authorisation 
of monthly contract status report for all 
contracts; 
The estimation, review and monitoring of 
costs to complete; and 
The comprehensive project reviews that are 
undertaken by Group management on a 
monthly basis. 

Selecting a sample of contracts for testing based on 
a number of quantitative and qualitative factors 
which may indicate that a greater level of judgement 
is required in recognising revenue, including: 

• 
• 

Contract history; 
Significant unapproved claims and 
variations; 
•  Delay risk; 
•  High-value contracts; and 
Loss-making contracts. 
• 

For the sample of contracts selected for testing the 
following procedures were performed: 

•  Obtained a detailed understanding of the 
contract terms and conditions to evaluate 
whether the individual characteristics of 
each contract were reflected in 
management’s estimate of forecast costs 
and revenue; 
Tested a sample of costs incurred to date 
and agreed these to supporting 
documentation; 
Assessed the current programme status 
against the original budgeted programme;

As disclosed in Note 17, the warranty provision as at 
30 June 2020 was $2,874,591. 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:  

The assessment of the provision for warranty 
requires management to make an estimate of the 
likely future costs that may be incurred in relation to 
ongoing and completed contracts. 

Obtaining an understanding of how management 
estimates their provision for warranty. 

Assessing the provision through: 

• 

• 

• 

Evaluating the contracts with applicable 
warranty obligations;  
Reviewing historic claim outcomes and the 
accuracy of management’s estimate; and  
Assessing the consistency of assumptions 
applied.

As disclosed in Note 33, the Group acquired Hanlon 
during the year which resulted in the recognition of 
goodwill of $2,579,325 and  intangible assets of 
$1,884,820 on acquisition date. 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

Assessing management’s accounting in accordance 
with AASB 3 Business Combinations. 

The accounting for a business combination requires 
management to estimate the  contribution the 
acquired company is expected to make to the Group.

Other Information  

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the 
financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, 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. 

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a  material misstatement of this 
other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 
in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations Act 2001  and  for  such 
internal  control  as  the  directors  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error.

In  preparing  the  financial  report,  the  directors  are  responsible  for  assessing  the  Group’s  ability  to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are 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  accordance with  the  Australian  Auditing Standards will  always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and 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 this financial report. 

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise  professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:   

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and  appropriate  to provide a basis  for  our  opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may  involve  collusion,  forgery,  intentional  omissions,  misrepresentations,  or  the  override  of
internal control.

• Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

•

•

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude on the appropriateness of  the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our  auditor’s  report.  However,  future  events  or  conditions  may  cause  the  Group’s  cease  to
continue as a going concern.

Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business  activities  within  the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of 
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit.  

GR ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED    ANNUAL REPORT 202079 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements  regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions 
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter  or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 13 to 20 of the Director’s Report for the 
year ended 30 June 2020.   

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of GR Engineering Services Limited, for the year ended 30 
June 2020, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities  

The directors of GR Engineering Services Limited are responsible for the preparation and presentation 
of  the  Remuneration  Report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the Corporations Act 2001.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Recommendation 1.2

The Company undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a person or putting forward to shareholders a candidate 
for election as a director and provides shareholders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on 
whether or not to elect or re-elect a director.

The checks which are undertaken, and the information provided to shareholders are set out in the Company’s Policy and 
Procedure for the Selection and (Re) Appointment of Directors.

Recommendation 1.3

The Company has a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment.  
The material terms of any employment, service or consultancy agreement the Company, or any of its child entities, has

measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the Company’s progress 
in achieving them.  A summary of the Company’s Diversity Policy is disclosed on the Company’s website.

The following measurable objective for achieving gender diversity has been set by the Nomination and Remuneration

executive positions occupied by women to 15% by 30 June 2023.” 

The Board continues to work towards meeting this objective and continues to foster a workplace environment and 
recruitment policies designed to achieve greater female participation in the Company’s workforce.

PRINCIPLE 1 – LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT (continued)

Recommendation 1.6

The Chair is responsible for evaluation of the Board and, when deemed appropriate, Board committees and individual 
directors.  The Chair is also responsible for evaluating the Managing Director.

The Chair evaluates the performance of the Managing Director and other Board members through a series of discussions 
held throughout the year. These discussions include an assessment of the Company’s state of affairs, the risks facing the 
Company and its economic objectives. The Chair evaluates the extent to which each director has contributed to the efficient 
utilisation of resources, the identification of risk and the achievement of economic objectives. During these discussions 
the Chair also elicits confidential feedback from each Director on their view of the interpersonal dynamics between Board 
members and the quality of the Board’s decision making.

During the Reporting Period the Chair evaluated the performance of all Directors, including the Managing Director, in 
accordance with the above process.

Recommendation 1.7

The Managing Director is responsible for evaluating the performance of senior executives in accordance with the process 
disclosed in the Company’s Process for Performance Evaluations.

During the Reporting Period the Managing Director conducted performance evaluations of Senior Executives. Where these 
evaluations resulted in the identification of areas where the Senior Executive’s technical or interpersonal skills could be 
strengthened, appropriate training or remedial action was formulated and agreed.

PRINCIPLE 2 – STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE

Recommendation 2.1

The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee comprising Phillip Lockyer (Chair), Barry Patterson, 
Peter Hood and Joe Totaro.  All members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are non-executive directors 
and all members are independent directors.  Accordingly, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is structured in 
accordance with Recommendation 2.1.

The Board has adopted a Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, 
functions and responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and is disclosed on the Company’s website.  

Recommendation 2.2

The Board is comprised of 5 qualified engineers and 1 qualified accountant. The matrix of skills held by the Board is 
weighted towards those skills which are required to identify, assess, quantify and manage those risks which are most 
relevant to and prevalent in the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates.

The majority of the Company’s directors hold, or have held, positions on the boards of other publicly listed companies and all 
have extensive experience in the management of organisations across a range of industries.

When necessary, the Board engages the services of external experts and consultants to augment its capacity to consider 
and assess matters which fall outside the domain of its collective expertise.

Recommendation 2.3

The Board considers the independence of directors having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.3 of the Principles & 
Recommendations.  The independent directors of the Company are Messrs Lockyer, Patterson, Hood and Totaro. 

Mr Patterson and Mr Totaro are substantial shareholders of the Company.  Notwithstanding that they are substantial 
shareholders the Board considers Mr Patterson and Mr Totaro to be independent directors because they are not members 
of management and are otherwise free of any interest, position, association or relationship (including those listed in Box 
2.3 of the Principles & Recommendations) that might influence in a material respect, their capacity to bring an independent 
judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and its members generally.  
Further, Mr Patterson’s and Mr Totaro’s interests as substantial shareholders are considered by the Board to be in line with 
the interests of all other shareholders. 

The length of service of each director is set out in the Directors’ Report of the Company’s Annual Financial Report.

PRINCIPLE 2 – STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE (continued) 

Recommendation 2.4

The Board has a majority of directors who are independent. 

The Board is comprised of 6 directors, 4 of whom are or are deemed to be independent. The two non-independent directors 
are Tony Patrizi and Geoff Jones. Tony Patrizi is a founding shareholder of the Company and Geoff Jones has been employed 
by the Company since 2011, initially as Chief Operating Officer and since 1 July 2013, as Managing Director. Messrs Patrizi 
and Jones have thorough knowledge of the Company’s business and extensive experience in managing the risks it faces. 
Their continued presence on the Board is therefore highly valued.

The Board is of a size commensurate with the size and nature of the Company. Should the number of Board members 
increase, it is the intention of the Company to appoint an additional independent director thereby preserving a majority of 
independent directors.

Recommendation 2.5

The Chair of the Board is Phillip Lockyer.  Mr Lockyer is an independent director and is not the Chief Executive Officer.

Recommendation 2.6

The Company has an induction program for new directors and senior executives.  The goal of the program is to assist new 
directors to participate fully and actively in Board decision-making at the earliest opportunity and to assist senior executives 
to participate fully and actively in management decision-making at the earliest opportunity.  The Company’s Induction 
Program is disclosed on the Company’s website.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee regularly reviews whether the directors as a group have the skills, 
knowledge and familiarity with the Company and its operating environment required to fulfil their role on the Board and the 
Board committees effectively using a Board skills matrix.  Where any gaps are identified, the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee considers what training or development should be undertaken to fill those gaps.  In particular, the Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee ensures that any director who does not have specialist accounting skills or knowledge 
has a sufficient understanding of accounting matters to fulfil his or her responsibilities in relation to the Company’s 
financial statements.  Directors also receive ongoing briefings from the Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer on 
developments in accounting standards.

PRINCIPLE 3 – ACT ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY

Recommendation 3.1

The Company has established a Core Value policy, which is disclosed on the Company’s website.

Recommendation 3.2

The Company has established a Code of Conduct for its directors, senior executives and employees, which is disclosed on 
the Company’s website. 

Recommendation 3.3

The Company has established a Whistleblower policy and any material incidents reported under this policy are 
communicated to the directors, as applicable. 

Recommendation 3.4

The Company has established an anti-bribery and corruption policy and any material incidents reported under this policy are 
communicated to the directors, as applicable.

PRINCIPLE 7 – RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK (continued) 

Recommendation 7.4

The Company provides engineering and construction services to the mining industry and operations and maintenance 
services to the oil and gas industry, including producers of coal seam gas. These activities expose the Company, directly and 
indirectly to environmental, social and economic sustainability risks, which may materially impact the Company’s ability to 
create or preserve value for shareholders over the short, medium or long term. 

In relation to the provision of goods and services, these risks are mitigated by virtue of the Company entering a project’s 
life cycle at a stage where all environmental, social and economic requirements of the relevant jurisdiction have been met 
by the client. The Company does not provide goods and services in circumstances where this is not the case and to that 
extent, the Company is in a position to continue its business activities in an environmentally, socially and economically 
sustainable manner.

In relation to the Company’s suppliers, the Company takes due care to ensure that the goods and services required for the 
conduct of its business are sourced from entities which act fairly and responsibly within the environments, societies and 
economies in which they operate thereby mitigating sustainability risks in relation to these factors.

The Company aims to operate in a socially sustainable way by engaging with the local communities and wherever possible 
providing employment and training opportunities to members of the local community. In doing so, the Company operates 
within the framework of local norms and customs and endeavours to ensure that its clients do likewise. The Company 
will not participate in any activity where it is likely to receive either directly or indirectly, economic benefit through the 
exploitation of others.

PRINCIPLE 8 – REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY

Recommendation 8.1

As noted above in relation to Recommendation 2.1, the Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee.  
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is structured in compliance with Recommendation 8.1.  Please refer to the 
disclosure above in relation to Recommendation 2.1 in relation to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Recommendation 8.2

Details of remuneration, including the Company’s policy on remuneration, are contained in the “Remuneration Report” 
which forms of part of the Directors’ Report in the Company’s Annual Financial Report. This disclosure includes a summary 
of the Company’s policies regarding the deferral of performance-based remuneration and the reduction, cancellation or 
clawback of the performance-based remuneration in the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in the 
Company’s financial statements.

Under the terms of the GR Engineering Services Limited Equity Incentive Plan (Plan), if in the opinion of the Board a 
participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly or wilfully breaches his or her duties to the Company, the Board may in its 
absolute discretion determine that all unvested or unexercised performance rights or share appreciation rights held by the 
participant will lapse.

In addition to the provisions under the Plan, the Board has adopted a clawback policy in relation to any cash bonuses 
or shares issued pursuant to the Plan. Under this policy the Board reserves the right to take action to reduce, recoup or 
otherwise adjust the employees performance based remuneration in circumstances where in the opinion of the Board, an 
employee has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or has wilfully breached his or her duties to the Company.

Recommendation 8.3
