ANNUAL REPORT 2018 For personal use only MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ACN 149 206 333 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2018 CONTENTS Chairman’s Report Chief Executive Officer’s Report Directors’ Report Corporate Governance Statement Auditor’s Independence Declaration Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Directors’ Declaration Independent Auditor’s Report Additional Australian Stock Exchange Information Corporate Directory 3 5 9 19 25 26 27 28 29 30 58 59 63 65 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8 For personal use only CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Nathan Andrew Mitchell Executive Chairman Dear Shareholders The 2018 financial year saw unprecedented growth for Mitchell Services Limited with significant increases across all key metrics including operating rig numbers, shift numbers, revenue and EBITDA. This growth was fuelled by a variety of different factors including: • • • an increased demand for near mine, production related drilling services across our existing client base amid improvements to general market conditions within the resources sector the award of multi rig contracts with new Tier 1 clients, most notably the seven rig Olympic Dam project in South Australia with BHP, and the significant growth within our underground energy division following the acquisition of Radco Drilling. Despite the growth in the number of operating rigs, I am pleased to inform shareholders that continued improvements and initiatives across our safety and risk management systems have resulted in both the frequency and severity of injuries reducing across the business. Having experienced several industry cycles previously, current indicators would suggest that we are in the early stages of the growth phase within the mining services cycle. Of our $72.7 million revenue in 2018, 92% was brownfield related predominantly on long life Tier 1 mine sites. We are seeing an increase in demand for brownfield drilling services and the early signs of increased demand for greenfield drilling services. I have written previously about the significant leverage within this organisation as utilisation, productivity, pricing and contract terms begin to improve. Increases in utilisation (from 35% FY17 to 57% FY18), productivity and pricing resulted in an 80% increase in revenue year on year and an increase in FY18 EBITDA to 279% of FY17 EBITDA. Recognising that we are in the early stages of this cycle and that the organisation has idle rig capacity to meet growing demand, we are well positioned to take advantage of further anticipated improvements in general market conditions. Looking at the year ahead, the business anticipates material increases in revenues, EBITDA and NPAT in FY19. The Board’s near term focus is to utilise anticipated surplus cash to reduce debt and is also considering capital management options such as a share buyback or a dividend. I mentioned earlier that I have experienced several industry cycles. One noticeable characteristic of the current cycle is that the growth appears to be measured, deliberate and steady. This may be a function of past lessons learned by the resources industry or the geopolitical uncertainty facing global markets affecting expectations for longer term commodities demand. Whatever the reason, steady and measured growth will serve Mitchell Services and its shareholders well. The recent downturn saw numerous competitors exit the market (forced or voluntarily) and the barriers to entry for new competitors remain high. Measured growth in early stages of the cycle will create favourable conditions to take advantage of growth opportunities. Price expectations are realistic, making attractive returns possible in an improving market, and this was certainly the case with the recent acquisition of Radco Drilling at a price representing approximately 2 times EBITDA. I am pleased to inform shareholders that the Radco Drilling business is performing safely and in line with expectations. Radco Drilling is a specialist in the market of underground coal drilling and gas drainage which is linked to production and required by long life underground coking coal mines. The acquisition (which is anticipated to be materially EPS accretive into the foreseeable future) has further strengthened our diversity across different drilling types and commodities, making Mitchell Services one of the most diverse drilling companies in Australia. ‘making Mitchell Services one of the most diverse drilling companies in Australia’ In closing I would once again like to thank all shareholders for your continued patience and support. Thank you to all those shareholders who participated in the $8.8million capital raising that took place during the 2018 financial year which ensured that the business is adequately funded to mobilise additional rigs and take advantage of improving general market conditions. On behalf of the Board, thank you. Nathan Andrew Mitchell Executive Chairman MEASURED GROWTH IN EARLY STAGES OF THE CYCLE CREATES FAVOURABLE CONDITIONS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES 3 4 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018For personal use only CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 Andrew Michael Elf Chief Executive Officer I am exceptionally proud of what our teams have achieved during the past year. With a strong base of long term, high quality Tier 1 client contracts, increased utilisation across all divisions and early signs of pricing increases, the business is well positioned to take advantage of the positive industry outlook. The growth that the business has experienced in 2018 was significant across all key metrics. As at 30 June 2018 the business employed over 350 experienced staff compared to 200 in 2017. Our average operating rig count was 37 rigs in 2018 (76% greater than in 2017) and collectively our people worked over 15,000 shifts, compared to approximately 9,000 shifts in 2017. Average revenue per rig of $1.95 million in 2018 was 5% greater than in 2017. I am proud of our safety culture and would like to acknowledge everyone’s efforts in once again ensuring that despite significant growth in the organisation, the frequency and severity of safety incidents year on year continued to decrease. We are a people business and the quality of our people is what underpins our vision, which is to be Australia’s leading provider of drilling services to the global exploration, mining and energy industries. Our people have a clear mandate to “find a better way” in everything they do and I attribute our positive culture to a number of key initiatives that were rolled out during the year including: Operation “Home stretch” – A campaign based on a “safety differently” approach that recognises what we do well thus creating a positive culture and strong teamwork.This campaign has been nominated for an Australian safety award and we will run it again in FY19. Journey management system – Mitchell Services, in collaboration with a third-party technology provider has created an end-to-end journey management mobile and web application to reduce risk and facilitate safer travel across the organisation. As has always been the case (but particularly now in an improving market), we are focusing on training to attract, retain and further develop our own drillers to ensure that our service level remains high. In 2018 we partnered with the Australasian Drilling Institute and were the first drilling company in Australia to roll out an electronic app-based competency assessment process. This app has delivered outstanding results in a short space of time. The acquisition and integration of earnings accretive Radco Drilling has been hugely successful. The business continues to perform safely, efficiently and in line with expectations. The integration process has allowed Radco to benefit from our sophisticated, streamlined shared services support functions whilst at the same time maintaining their own identity, brand and ability to be nimble in decision-making to service customers with whom sound relationships have been built. The increased utilisation levels from FY17 to FY18 (35% to 57%) have driven an 80% increase in revenue ($72.7m FY18 vs $40.3m FY17), with FY18 EBITDA 2.8 times that of FY17 ($2.2m in FY17 to $6.3m in FY18) demonstrating the significant leverage in the business. FY18 EBITDA was impacted by material levels of ramp up associated with major project wins and we expect further material increases in FY19 as EBITDA begins to normalise. Our ability to secure and retain long term, multi rig contracts with Tier 1 clients across a range of different drilling types, commodities and geographies has provided a solid base to take advantage of further anticipated market improvements. I see FY19 as a breakthrough year for the organisation in terms of financial results with EBITDA anticipated to increase materially versus FY18 which should translate into a positive NPAT. The outlook remains positive with continued improvements expected across all metrics, and our focus is to: • • Continue to operate safely across all operations Leverage off the successful integration of Radco and increase its operating rig count • Generate strong operational cash flow • Pay down debt. I would like to thank the Board for their ongoing support and guidance, my senior executive and all our teams that have truly gone above and beyond to deliver improving performance and prospects for our shareholders. Thank you.

Rig utilisation and productivity increased significantly in 2018 compared to 2017 as general market conditions continued to improve. These improvements have led to a material increase in rig utilisation and number of shifts as the below charts demonstrate. Operating Rig Count Number of Shifts The continual increase in both operating rig count and number of shifts has driven a significant increase in revenue, with a 380% increase since 2014. Annual Average Operating Rig Count vs Revenue Average operating rigs Number of shifts Revenue ($000’s) EBITDA ($000’s) Operating cash flow ($000’s) Annualised revenue per rig ($000’s) FY16 FY17 FY18 1H 20 3,036 18,472 131 236 1,847 2H 15 3,471 14,498 391 (302) 1,933 1H 23 4,528 20,843 2,559 2,400 1,797 2H 20 4,029 19,460 (321) 1,907 1,946 1H 37 7,423 33,215 2,678 (2,290) 1,795 2H 37 8,332 39,485 3,576 1,016 2,106 EBITDA in FY18 was impacted by material levels of ramp up associated with major project wins. In October 2017 the Group completed an $8.8million equity raising, the proceeds of which were applied to fund the preparation and mobilisation of un-utilised rigs and associated equipment at the time, procurement of consumables and recruitment of personnel to fulfil contract pipeline requirements and additional working capital. EBITDA in FY18 was, as such, impacted by material levels of ramp up associated with major project wins. EBITDA in the 4th quarter of FY18 began to normalise and the Group anticipates further material increases in revenue and EBITDA during FY19. On 4 April 2018 the Group completed the acquisition of Radco Technologies Pty Ltd and Radco Group Australia Pty Ltd (collectively Radco Drilling) for a cash consideration purchase price of approximately 2 times historic EBITDA.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the Group is as follows: 13 14 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUEDFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018For personal use only The Remuneration Policy is to be developed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and approved by the Board. Professional advice may be sought from independent external consultants if required; All KMP receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, and may receive fringe benefits and performance incentives; Employment details of members of Key Management Personnel The employment terms and conditions of KMP are formalised in contracts of employment. A contracted person deemed employed on a permanent basis may terminate their employment by providing the relevant notice period as outlined below. Any performance incentives will generally only be paid once predetermined key performance indicators have been met; The performance criteria relating to incentives are aligned with the interests of the Group and therefore shareholders; Andrew Michael Elf Gregory Michael Switala Notice Period 3 months 4 weeks • • • • • The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews KMP packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors. The performance of executive KMP is measured against criteria agreed annually based predominantly on the growth of the Group’s profits and shareholder’s value and take into account critical safety and operational metrics. Any bonuses and incentives awarded must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives and bonuses, and can recommend changes to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee’s recommendations. Any change must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of Executives and Senior Managers and reward them for performance results leading to long- term growth in shareholder wealth. KMP receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5% of the individual’s ordinary earnings, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. Upon retirement, KMP are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to the date of retirement. KMP will receive redundancy benefits if applicable. The Board’s policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Relationship between the Remuneration Policy and Group performance The Remuneration Policy has been tailored to align the pursuit of growth and success of the Group between shareholders, Directors and Executives.

On behalf of the Directors Nathan Andrew Mitchell Executive Chairman Dated at Brisbane this 28th day of August 2018 18 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUEDFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018For personal use only CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 The Board considers there to be a clear and positive relationship between the creation and delivery of long-term shareholder value and high-quality corporate governance. Accordingly, in pursuing its objective, the Board has committed to corporate governance arrangements that strive to foster the values of integrity, respect, trust and openness amongst and between the Board members, management, employees, customers and suppliers. Unless stated otherwise in this document, the Board’s corporate governance arrangements comply with the recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2018. 1. Board of Directors 1.1. Role of the Board The Board’s primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value. To fulfil this role, the Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Group including formulating its strategic direction, approving and monitoring capital expenditure, setting remuneration, appointing, removing and creating succession policies for Directors and Senior Executives, establishing and monitoring the achievement of management’s goals and ensuring the integrity of risk management, internal control, legal compliance and management information systems. It is also responsible for approving and monitoring financial and other reporting. The Board has delegated responsibility for operation and administration of the Group to the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Management. Responsibilities are delineated by formal authority delegations. 1.2. Board processes To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has established 2 board committees which include a Remuneration and Nomination Committee and an Audit and Risk Committee. Both committees have written charters which are reviewed on a regular basis. The Board has also established a framework for the management of the Group including a system of internal control, a business risk management process and the establishment of appropriate ethical standards. 19 The full Board currently holds not less than 10 scheduled meetings each year, plus strategy meetings and any extraordinary meetings at such other times as may be necessary to address any specific significant matters that may arise. The agenda for meetings is prepared by the Company Secretary in conjunction with the Chairman. Standing items include the Chief Executive Officer report, People and Risk report, General Manager’s reports, Financial reports, Asset reports and Commercial and Business Development reports. The Board package is provided to all concerned in advance of meetings. Executives are regularly involved in Board discussions and Directors have other opportunities, including visits to business operations, for contact with a wider group of employees. The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. 1.3. Director and executive education The Group has an informal induction process to educate new Directors about the nature of the business, current issues, the corporate strategy, the culture and values of the Group, and the expectations of the Group concerning performance of Directors. In addition, Directors are also educated regarding meeting arrangements and Director interaction with each other, senior executives and other stakeholders. Directors also have the opportunity to visit Group facilities and meet with management to gain a better understanding of business operations. Directors are given access to continuing education opportunities to update and enhance their skills and knowledge. The Group also has an informal process to educate new senior executives upon taking such positions. This involves reviewing the Group’s structure, strategy, operations, financial position and risk management policies. Independent professional advice and access to 1.4. Group information Each Director has the right of access to all relevant Group information and to the Group’s Executives and, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent professional advice from a suitably qualified adviser at the Group’s expense. The Directors must consult with an adviser suitably qualified in the relevant field and obtain the Chairman’s approval of the fee payable for the advice before proceeding with the consultation. A copy of the advice received by the Directors is made available to all other members of the Board. 1.5. Composition of the Board The names of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this report together with their respective mix of skills, experience and length of service are set out in the Directors’ Report on page 9 and 10 of this report. The Group believes it is in its best interests to maintain a small but efficient Board. The Board consists of 3 Non- executive Directors (being Peter Miller, Robert Douglas and Neal O’Connor) and Executive Chairman, Nathan Mitchell. As at the date of this report two of the four board members are considered independent, being Robert Douglas and Neal O’Connor. The Executive Chairman is Mr Nathan Mitchell. Under the guidelines, Mr Mitchell does not meet the criteria for independence as he is a Director of a substantial shareholder. Peter Richard Miller has a material shareholding and does not meet the criteria for independence. Under the guidelines, the majority of the Board should be independent as should the Chair. All Directors are committed to bringing their independent views and judgement to the Board and, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, must inform the Board if they have any interest that could conflict with those of the Group. Where the Board considers that a conflict exists, the Director concerned will not be present at the meeting while the item is considered. For these reasons, the Board believes that each of these Directors may be considered to be acting independently in the execution of their duties. The Board considers the mix of skills and the diversity of Board members when assessing the composition of the Board. The Board assesses existing and potential Directors’ skills to ensure they have appropriate industry expertise in the Group’s business operations. The Board undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a person as a Director and provides security holders with all material information relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect a Director. The Board’s policy is to seek a diverse range of Directors who have a range of skills, ages, genders and ethnicity that complements the environment in which the Group operates and having due regard to the current size of the Group (refer section 8 on skills and diversity). 2. Remuneration and Nomination Committee Under the principles and recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee should consist of at least 3 members, each of whom should be Non-Executive Directors. Given the relatively small size of the Board, the Directors are of the opinion that 2 members are sufficient to properly discharge the duties of the Committee. The Chairman of the Committee should be an independent Director. The Committee has 2 distinct roles as follows: • • Remuneration related matters; and Nomination related matters. The members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee during the year were: • Mr Neal Macrossan O’Connor – Chairman and Non- Executive Director • Mr Robert Barry Douglas – Non-Executive Director All Directors are invited to Remuneration and Nomination Committee meetings at the discretion of the Committee. The Committee met twice during the year and Committee members’ attendance record is disclosed in the table of Directors’ meetings on page 14 of this report. Remuneration related matters The Committee assists the Board in the general application of the remuneration policy. In doing so, the Committee is responsible for: • • • Developing remuneration policies for Directors and Key Management Personnel; Reviewing Key Management Personnel packages annually and, based on these reviews, making recommendations to the Board on remuneration levels for Key Management Personnel; and Assisting the Board in reviewing Key Management Personnel performance annually. 20 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018For personal use only Executive Directors and Senior Executives are remunerated by way of salary, non-monetary benefits and statutory superannuation in accordance with written agreements that set out the terms of their appointments.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is required to annually review the effectiveness of the functioning of the Board, its committees, individual Directors and Senior Executives through internal peer review. 3. Audit and Risk Committee The Audit and Risk Committee has a documented charter, approved by the Board. Under the principles and recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council, the Committee should consist of at least 3 members, each of whom should be Non-Executive Directors. Given the relatively small size of the Board, the Directors are of the opinion that 2 members are sufficient to properly discharge the duties of the Committee for the present time. The Chairman of the Committee should be an independent Director and should not be Chairman of the Board. The purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in the effective discharge of its responsibilities in relation to the external audit function, accounting policies, financial reporting, funding, financial risk management, business risk monitoring and insurance. 5. Risk management The Board considers identification and management of key risks associated with the business as vital to creating and delivering long-term shareholder value. The main risks that could negatively impact on the performance of the Group’s business activities include: • • • • • Safety of our people and our contractors; Seasonal conditions and business interruptions; Dependence on key personnel and labour shortages; Obsolescence of certain machinery due to technological advancements or client requirements; Customer demand and outlook for the resources industry. The members of the Audit and Risk Committee during the year were: An assessment of the Group’s business risk profile is undertaken and reviewed by the Board annually, covering all 21 aspects of the business from the operational level through to strategic level risks. Executive management has been delegated the task of implementing internal controls to identify and manage risks for which the Board provides oversight. The effectiveness of these controls is monitored and reviewed regularly by management. Executive management has reported on an ongoing basis (via monthly Board meetings) to the Board as to whether the Group’s business risks have been effectively managed. In addition to their regular reporting on business risks, risk management and internal control systems, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided assurance, in writing to the Board: • • That the financial reporting risk management and associated compliance and controls have been assessed and found to be operating effectively; and The Group’s financial reports are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control. The Board is responsible for the overall internal control framework, but recognises that no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. In the absence of an internal audit function, comprehensive practices have been established to ensure: • • • • • • • Capital expenditure and revenue commitments above a certain size obtain prior Board approval; Financial exposures are controlled; Health and safety standards and management systems are monitored and reviewed to achieve high standards of performance and compliance with regulations; Business transactions are properly authorised and executed; The quality and integrity of personnel; Financial reporting accuracy and compliance with the financial reporting regulatory framework. Monthly actual results are reported against budgets approved by the Directors and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly; and Regulation compliance. The Group’s health, safety, environment and sustainability obligations are monitored by all members of the Board. 6. Ethical standards All Directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Group. Every employee has a nominated supervisor to whom they may refer any issues arising from their employment. The Board reviews its Code of Conduct and Ethics regularly and processes are in place to promote and communicate these policies. Conflict of interest Directors must keep the Board advised, on an on-going basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Group. The Board has developed procedures to assist Directors to disclose potential conflicts of interest. Where the Board believes that a conflict exists the Director concerned will not be present at the meeting while the item is considered. Details of Director related entity transactions with the Group are set out in note 23 to the financial statements. Code of conduct The Group has advised each Director, manager and employee that they must comply with the Group’s Code of Conduct and Ethics. The code requires all Directors, management and employees to at all times with all relevant stakeholders: • • • • • • Act honestly and in good faith; Exercise due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office; Avoid conflicts and make full disclosure of any possible conflict of interest; Comply with both the letter and spirit of the law; Encourage the reporting and investigation of unlawful and unethical behaviour; and Comply with the share trading policy. Share trading policy The Share Trading Policy restricts Directors and employees from acting on price sensitive information (which is not available to the public) until it has been released to the market and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the Company’s share price.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) General information Mitchell Services Ltd (Company) is a limited company incorporated in Australia. The addresses of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the Corporate Directory of this Annual Report. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (Group) involve the provision of exploration and mine site drilling services to the mining industry. (b) 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 Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company 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 Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on the date shown in the Directors’ Declaration. (c) Basis of preparation 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 re-valued 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. (d) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Income and expense of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interest’s and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at re- valued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable Standards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” or, when applicable, the cost on initial 29 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 30 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018For personal use only recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity. (e) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date (i.e. when control is transferred to the Group). Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: • • • • the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Intangibles (f) Goodwill and impairment Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of the acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash- generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. 31 On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Customer contracts Customer contracts acquired are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently carried at fair value less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. These costs are amortised to profit or loss using the straightline method over the contract period or estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. (g) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows: Drilling revenue Drilling revenue is derived from the depth and type of drilling and the hours worked on the specific site. Interest income Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition. Other revenue is recognised when the right to receive the revenue has been established. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). (h) Leases Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. (i) Employee benefits A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Payments to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. Income taxes (j) The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Mitchell Services Ltd. Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’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 tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the 32 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018For personal use only end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Current and deferred tax for the year Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. (k) Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. 33 Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. On-going repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use, or in respect of internally constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment using both the diminishing value basis or straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. The depreciation rates used for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Classes of Fixed Asset 2.5% Buildings 6.67% - 40% Plant & Equipment Motor Vehicles 12.50% - 50% Office Equipment, Furniture & Fittings 10% - 67.67% Depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Impairment of property, plant and equipment At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Recoverable amount is the higher 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a re-valued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a re-valued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. Inventories (l) Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on first-in-first-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs. (m) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. (n) Financial instruments Financial assets The only category of financial assets held by the Group relates to “loans and receivables”. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents and, trade and other receivables. The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted 34 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018For personal use only for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method. allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss. Impairment of financial assets The Group’s financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when 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 financial asset have been affected. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, objective evidence of impairment may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s 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 considered uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the 35 For financial assets measured at amortised cost, 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 that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised De-recognition of financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. Financial liabilities The only category of financial liabilities owed by the Group relates to “other financial liabilities”. Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables. The Group initially recognises other financial liabilities on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Other financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. De-recognition of financial liabilities The Group de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability de-recognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss. Investment property (r) Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for either use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes or sale in the ordinary course of business. (o) Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non- current assets. Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to note 1(n) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses. (p) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the Group that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days after the end of the month in which they were initially recognised as a liability. (q) Goods and services tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: • • where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is classified within operating cash flows. The Group uses the fair value model for investment property. The Group’s investment property is assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when 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 financial asset have been affected. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the investment property is carried at a re-valued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the investment property is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the investment property in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a re-valued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. (s) Capital management Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain an appropriate debt to equity ratio, generate long- term shareholder value and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The Group’s debt and capital include ordinary share capital, and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by 36 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018For personal use only management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year. (t) Assets held for sale The Group recognises assets as held for sale when the sale of the asset is approved by the Board and is actively marketed at a reasonable price for immediate sale that is probable within 12 months. After these conditions are met, the Group measures the assets held for sale at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and are not depreciated. Any reduction in value on initial recognition or any reduction in fair value less costs to sell after initial recognition shall be recognised as impairment in the profit and loss. A gain for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell shall be recognised in the profit or loss to the extent that it is not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss. (u) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Key estimates – impairment The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value in use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. (v) Application of new and revised Accounting Standards Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective. Standards and Interpretations affecting amounts reported in the current period (and/or prior periods) AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation and AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101. Impact of the application of AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses The Group has applied these amendments for the first time in the current year. The amendments clarify how an entity should evaluate whether there will be sufficient future taxable profits against which it can utilise a deductible temporary difference. The application of these amendments has had no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements as the Group already assesses the sufficiency of future taxable profits in a way that is consistent with these amendments. Impact of the application of AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107 The Group has applied these amendments for the first time in the current year. The amendments require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both cash and noncash changes. The Group’s liabilities arising from financing activities consist of borrowings and certain other financial liabilities (note 10). A reconciliation between the opening and closing balances of these items is provided in note 10(c). Consistent with the transition provisions of the amendments, the Group has not disclosed comparative information for the prior period. Apart from the additional disclosure in note 10(c), the application of these amendments has had no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The adoption of AASB 16 at 30 June 2018 would result in the recognition of a right of use asset and a lease liability of approximately $934,000. 37 38 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018For personal use only 2.

The average term is 3.67 years (2017: 3.77 years). The Group’s obligations under finance leases are secured by lessor’s title to goods under finance lease. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk has been mitigated in that interest rates have been fixed for the duration of the finance period. Effective interest rates payable under finance leases are between 4.09% and 8.50% (2017: 4.45% and 8.33%). The fair value of the finance lease liabilities is approximately equal to the carrying amount. Temporary working capital facility In order to fund an increase in working capital requirements associated with new contracts, the Company secured a $2.6 million overdraft facility with National Australia Bank (NAB) in July 2017 on the following terms: • • • • Interest charge at 5.25% per annum Secured by a guarantee in favour of NAB provided by Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC) as part of a Working Capital Guarantee Facility (WCGF) An EFIC utilisation fee of 4.5% per annum on the balance of the guarantee amount The expiry date of the WCGF was 30 September 2018 This facility (The $2.6 million facility) together with the Company’s pre-existing $2.5 million Suncorp overdraft facility (The $2.5 million facility) provided the Group with $5.1 million in working capital funding. Working capital facility refinance and trade finance facility In December 2017, the Group completed a refinance of its working capital facilities. The $2.5 million facility and the $2.6 million facility were fully repaid. Following the repayment of these facilities, the Group entered into a trade finance facility with NAB under the following terms: • • • NAB will advance 75% of the Group’s outstanding trade receivables up to a maximum advance of $9 million. The advances are secured against the Group’s trade receivables balance and first ranking general security interest in Mitchell Operations Pty Ltd and a guarantee provided by the Company. Interest is levied at 6.5% per annum plus an annual line fee of 1% applicable to the facility limit. As at 30 June 2018 this trade finance facility was undrawn. 42 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018For personal use only 10(b) LOANS 12.

Proceeds from the capital raising were used to fund the preparation and mobilisation of unutilised rigs and associated equipment, procurement of consumables and recruitment of personnel to fulfil contract pipeline requirements and additional working capital. The transaction costs directly attributable to the above issue of shares that otherwise would have been avoided have been accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of income tax benefit (refer Note 17). Shares issued under the Executive Share and Option Plan During the reporting period, Mitchell Services Limited issued 3,410,515 new fully paid ordinary shares under the Mitchell Service Executive Share and Option Plan (ESOP). The shares are held by the plan trustee for the benefit of eligible participants and are subject to vesting conditions. Under AASB132, the Group recognises unvested shares held by the plan trustee as ‘treasury shares’ and accordingly has eliminated them for consolidation purposes. During the reporting period, 4,915,099 shares that were issued to the plan trustee in 2016 (pursuant to offers made under the ESOP) vested. Upon vesting, these 4,915,099 shares were transferred from the plan trustee to the individual ESOP participants. These shares were recognised as “treasury shares” during previous reporting periods and were accordingly eliminated for consolidated reporting purposes at 30 June 2017. Please see page 16 of the Remuneration Report for further details pertaining to the ESOP. Executive share and option plan The Group accounts for instruments that are still in their vesting period issued under the Executive Share and Option Plan (ESOP) by recognising the fair value of the relevant equity instruments as an expense over the vesting period. The fair value of the equity instruments is calculated at each reporting period and vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the measurement of the transaction amount so that, ultimately, the amount recognised for goods or services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Measurement of fair values The calculated fair value of the shares issued during the years ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2018 under the ESOP was $133,010 and $156,247 respectively at 30 June 2018 and has been determined with reference to the closing price of the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares. The calculated fair value at 30 June 2018 of the Options granted during the years ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2018 was $238,425 and $278,751 respectively and has been determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is estimated by considering historical volatility of comparable company share prices. The inputs in the measurement of the fair value at 30 June 2018 of the equity-settled share-based payment plans granted during the years ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2018 were as follows: 17.

The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms: ensuring that there is access to adequate capital; preparing forward looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operational, investing and financial activities; obtaining funding from a variety of sources; • • • monitoring undrawn credit facilities; • • maintaining a reputable credit profile; • managing credit risk related to financial assets; • • investing surplus cash only with major financial institutions; and comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and uses publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored to mitigate financial loss. The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at balance date, excluding the value of any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Details with respect to credit risk of trade and other receivables is provided in note 4(a). Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are detailed at note 4(a). The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities, compared with financial assets. Bank overdrafts have been excluded from the analysis below as management does not consider that there is any material risk that the bank will terminate such facilities. 22. NET FAIR VALUES Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates and do not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward. The deficiency identified in the table will be met from cash flows generated by the Group’s normal operations. Fair value estimation The carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities as detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and these notes approximate their fair values at reporting date. 51 52 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018For personal use only 23.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Revenue Recognition This is a key audit matter given that it is material to the Group’s results and the rates at which revenue is charged to customers is complex and varies depending on the type of drilling service performed and whether the drilling service is coal or minerals based. Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement relating to the determination and recognition of drilling service revenue included, amongst others:  We obtained a detailed understanding of the revenue streams and the processes for calculating and recording revenue. We also gained an understanding of the key internal controls in place to ensure that recorded revenue had occurred and was accurate and that revenue had been completely recorded. We tested these controls on a sample basis to ensure that they were operating effectively throughout the year.  We tested a sample of revenue transactions to the daily drilling reports (which are signed by the customer), to signed contracts (ensuring rates charged were accurate) and to receipt of funds in the Group’s bank account.  We tested a sample of revenue earning activities from the daily drilling reports to customer invoices ensuring that revenue earned had been recorded as revenue. Radco Acquisition During the year, the Group completed the acquisition of 100% of the Radco Group as disclosed in Note 30. The Group has determined this acquisition to be a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations and has applied the acquisition method to account for the transaction. The acquisition method requires the recognition and measurement of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase. The identification of such assets and liabilities and their measurement at fair value is inherently judgemental and we therefore considered this to be a key audit matter. Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement relating to the Radco business combination included, amongst others:  We reviewed the Share Sale Deed to obtain a high level understanding of the business combination.  We checked the calculation of the fair value of the purchase consideration and the relevant amounts paid from the Group’s bank account.  We performed testing on the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired (other than plant and equipment). These items included cash at bank, trade receivables, trade payables, provision for income tax and provision for employee entitlements.  We reviewed management’s assessment of the fair value of the plant and equipment acquired which was based on an independent valuation of those assets.  We performed testing on the discounted cash flows and contributory asset charges included within the multi-period excess earnings method used to determine the fair value of customer contracts.  60 MITCHELL SERVICES LTD MITCHELL SERVICES LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL REPORT 2018For personal use only   We ensured that any deferred tax assets or liabilities at acquisition date were identified and measured properly. A deferred tax liability in relation to the customer contracts was initially recorded and subsequently taken to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income based on the Group’s current approach to deferred tax accounting.  We checked the accuracy of the resulting gain from bargain purchase which represented the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.     The directors are responsible for the other information.
