Monadelphous’ shares were relisted on the main board of the stock exchange in 1991 and the Company established the foundation for sustained growth with a new management team. The Company has continued to diversify and extend its reputation as a supplier of multidisciplinary construction, maintenance and industrial services to many of the biggest companies in the resources, energy and infrastructure sectors. Monadelphous’ shares are included in the S&P/ASX 200 index. The Company builds, maintains and improves customer operations through safe, reliable, innovative and cost effective service solutions. It aims to be recognised as a leader in its chosen markets and a truly great company to work for, work with and invest in. OUR HISTORY Monadelphous emerged from a business which started in 1972 in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, providing general mechanical contracting services to the mining industry. The name Monadelphous was adopted in 1978 and by the mid-1980s the Company had expanded into a number of markets, both interstate and overseas, and its shares were traded on the second board of the Australian Stock Exchange. In the late 1980s, a major restructure of the Company took place with the business refocused on maintenance and construction services in the resources industry.

The Company will endeavour to develop opportunities in power generation, transmission and distribution. Internationally, Monadelphous will seek to grow its business in Papua New Guinea and establish a position in the energy market in North America. Other opportunities include globalising the well-established China-based fabrication business and exploring prospects to enter South America and South East Asia. The Company will continue to drive enhancements in productivity, maintain a healthy balance sheet and deliver sustainable financial performance. It will do this with an ongoing focus in the all-important area of health and safety management. EXECUTIVE AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES In November 2014, Zoran Bebic, formerly the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, was appointed to the role of Executive General Manager of the Maintenance and Industrial Services division, following the retirement of Arif Erdash. Zoran has been with the company in excess of 22 years and has successfully held a number of corporate and general management roles. Phil Trueman, previously the Company’s General Manager, Human Resources, was appointed Chief Financial Officer. Phil is a Chartered Accountant and has been employed by the Company since 2003. The Board of Monadelphous extends its gratitude to Arif Erdash for his valued contribution to the Company’s successful growth and development and wish him well for his retirement. Finally, I thank all our stakeholders for their loyalty and support and particularly our people for their dedication, commitment and highly valued contribution. John Rubino | Chairman The Company reported another record safety performance at 30 June, with a 3 per cent improvement in the total case injury frequency rate. Challenging market conditions persisted during the year, resulting in reduced activity levels across the business and continued pressure from customers to reduce costs. The company-wide cost reduction program delivered a further reduction in the cost base of the business. A number of initiatives were implemented during the period to protect margins and ensure overheads remain aligned to business activity levels. The achievements of 2014/15, in a deteriorating market, were only made possible by the dedication and efforts of our people. Monadelphous remains committed to attracting, developing and retaining highly competent people, who live our values and actively contribute to our long-term, overall success. The Company’s total workforce was about 4,500 employees at the end of the year, down 15 per cent. The review and consolidation of support and services functions as part of the cost reduction program contributed to this decrease. Key talent retention rates, however, continue to be strong. Monadelphous remains committed to long term sustainable growth through maximising returns in its core service markets and securing additional sources of revenue in new markets. The acquisition of Water Infrastructure Group in March 2015 expanded the Company’s geographical presence into the New Zealand market, which includes the growing irrigation sector, and provides opportunities in the infrastructure maintenance market within Australia. In the new financial year and beyond, Monadelphous will look to build on its core capabilities and establish itself in new markets domestically. The Company aims to grow services in water, marine and related infrastructure, and capitalise on integrated engineer, procure and construct (EPC) and multidisciplinary execution Monadelphous undertook a number of initiatives during the year to broaden its services in core markets, further expand into infrastructure and extend core services to overseas locations. It is with pleasure that I present the 2015 Monadelphous Group Limited Annual Report. Monadelphous achieved a satisfactory performance during the period despite tighter market conditions in the resources and energy sectors. Sales revenue for the year was $1.865 billion, down 19.9 per cent on 2013/14. This reflected the further decline in market conditions and the continued focus by customers on reducing capital and operating expenditure. Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $105.8 million, down 23.6 per cent compared to the underlying^ result in 2013/14 which excluded a one-off gain from the sale of aviation support services business Skystar Airport Services. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was $168.0 million. The Company’s focus on improving efficiency and productivity largely offset the market driven downward pressure on margins. Earnings per share (EPS) was 113.9 cents. The Board of Directors declared a final dividend of 46 cents per share fully franked, taking the full-year dividend to 92 cents per share fully franked. The Monadelphous Group Limited Dividend Reinvestment Plan was made available to shareholders for both the interim and final dividends. Monadelphous’ disciplined approach to working capital management ensured the maintenance of a healthy balance sheet. This approach helped the Company achieve ^Refer to page 13 for the definition of underlying and reconciliation of related financial information. A record rolling 12-month total case injury frequency rate (TCIFR) of 2.81 incidents per million man-hours worked was achieved during the year, before finishing at 3.16. This was an improvement on the previous year. The lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) was 0.08 incidents per million man- hours worked, with one incident recorded. An enduring focus on safety leadership and the continued development of processes and systems underlies the Company’s improvement in this area. Employee numbers reduced to 4,536 at 30 June as a number of projects were completed and construction activity slowed. The Monadelphous Registered Training Organisation continued to provide training and development for employees across the business, with qualified trainers delivering more than 2,700 courses at the Employee Development Centre in Belmont and on project sites. Supervisor development remained a priority, and is a key foundation in ensuring work is completed in a safe, cost effective and productive manner. The Graduate Development Program continues to provide new talent for the business, and is an important part of the development of our future leaders. Monadelphous’ commitment to diversity in the workplace was supported by a number of initiatives. Commitment to our Indigenous employees was highlighted through the development and distribution of an updated Reconciliation Action Plan, our company-wide celebration of NAIDOC Week, and the cultural awareness training sessions delivered to a broad cross- section of our employees. The Company also progressed its measurable objectives on gender diversity to enhance female participation in the workforce. Cost saving initiatives helped to drive improved productivity during the year. The tight market conditions contributed to the improved availability in the labour talent pool and downward pressure on wages. The Company renegotiated a number of labour agreements during the period. In response to the reduced activity levels in the business and customers’ significant focus on cost reduction, the Company continued its company-wide cost reduction program and implemented a number of key initiatives. These included aligning staffing levels to current business activity, consolidation across the Company of support and service functions, the renegotiation of office leases and key supply agreements, improved project management practices and the rationalisation and disposal of surplus plant and equipment. Structural changes and consolidation of functions were key contributors to the lower overhead cost. Over the past two years, the company-wide cost reduction program has delivered cost savings in excess of $100 million on an annualised basis, with an additional $56 million of cost 2014/15. This included $19 million in overhead reductions. The Company renewed its banking facilities for a further two years on improved pricing and terms and conditions, reflecting the strong long term performance of the business. ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION The Engineering Construction division reported revenue of $1.25 billion, down 25.5 per cent compared to the previous year. The result reflected the reducing volume of project activity in the resources and energy markets. Key contracts completed during the year included the Company’s first marine contract at the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal, in Queensland. The division also successfully undertook three projects for Australian Pacific LNG in Queensland in the coal seam gas sector and construction of a gas pipeline for the Fortescue River Gas Pipeline Joint Venture at Solomon Hub in the Pilbara, Western Australia (WA). Other contract activity included mechanical works at the Ichthys LNG Project in Darwin, Northern Territory, Monadelphous’ largest ever contract awarded, and a major structural, 56$M IN ANNUALISED SAVINGS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE COMPANY-WIDE COST REDUCTION PROGRAM Monadelphous continued to focus on maximising opportunities, improving productivity and reducing costs, implementing a number of initiatives to protect margins and ensure overheads remain aligned to business activity levels. Monadelphous has capitalised on the opportunities available to it in the resources and energy sectors in recent years. The change in market conditions over the past two years resulted in reduced activity levels across the business and the Company’s performance is a reflection of the trends in commodity prices in the resources and energy markets during this period. The 2014/15 year presented a number of challenges for the Company as a result of further reductions in capital and operating expenditure by customers. Oil and gas construction and maintenance activities accounted for almost 50 per cent of sales revenue. The achievements in the latest year are a testament to the focus placed throughout the business on maximising opportunities, reducing costs and improving our productivity and financial administration in this challenging environment. This discipline, along with the Company’s ongoing diversification efforts, ensured the business adapted to the reduced activity levels while still maintaining its flexibility to respond to future opportunities and challenges. New contracts and contract extensions valued at $450 million were secured during the year. This included work secured in new service markets of water and pipelines. Subsequent to the reporting period, the Company announced a further $430 million in new contracts. 2 / OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWMONADELPHOUS ANNUAL REPORT 201513 Margins will remain under pressure as competition is high for a smaller pipeline of work, with capital expenditure decisions delayed and operating expenditure tightened. The Company will focus on additional initiatives aimed at reducing costs to protect margins and improve sustainability. Further consolidation of the Company’s fixed cost base will be a priority. Monadelphous remains committed to advance its long term market growth strategy and diversification of revenue sources through a number of key initiatives. These include extending engineering capability and broadening services to undertake multidisciplinary projects and provide more cost-effective solutions for customers, as well as expanding the range of industrial services provided to customers. The Company will seek to strengthen its position in growing infrastructure markets throughout Australia and New Zealand including leveraging the recent acquisition of WI Group. Geographical diversification initiatives will continue, including converting opportunities for China-based fabrication services to international customers, progressing expansion opportunities in PNG and Mongolia and entering the growing oil and gas market in North America. Importantly, Monadelphous’ strong balance sheet provides the capacity to pursue investment opportunities that support these diversification and growth objectives. Rob Velletri | Managing Director mechanical and piping package for Sino Iron, at Cape Preston, WA, awarded during the year. costs and improve productivity, retaining all of its service contracts in an intensely competitive environment. The Water Infrastructure Group (WI Group) business acquired during the year was integrated into the division. Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal In June 2015, Monadelphous announced that MMM, an unincorporated joint arrangement in which Monadelphous holds a 50 per cent interest, will be lodging a counterclaim in the Supreme Court of Queensland in response to a claim filed against Monadelphous by the owners of Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd (WICET). MMM has to date received successful adjudication from the Building and Construction Industry Payment Agency (BCIPA) (a Queensland statutory agency designed to facilitate the adjudication of payments in the construction industry by expert adjudicators) for payments relating to the project totalling approximately $90 million. WICET filed a claim relating to the MMM contracts in the Supreme Court of Queensland totalling approximately $130 million (net of the proceeds of bank guarantees plus general damages, interest and costs), in which it seeks to recover monies, the majority of which include those paid to MMM under BCIPA and variations previously approved by WICET. Monadelphous rejects WICET’s position as outlined in the claim and will vigorously defend the proceedings. Further, it will pursue a counterclaim through MMM in excess of $200 million to recover costs associated with changes in the scope and nature of the works required to be completed, and the value of bank guarantees drawn down. Monadelphous considers that MMM has good grounds for making such claims. MAINTENANCE AND INDUSTRIAL SERVICES The Maintenance and Industrial Services division recorded sales revenue of $621 million for the year, a 6.4 per cent reduction compared to the previous year. The division worked closely with its customers to reduce Major contract activity undertaken during the year included the facilities management services contract at the Chevron Australia operated Gorgon Project on Barrow Island, WA; major turnarounds at the Woodside- operated Karratha Gas Plant and Pluto LNG Facility and at Conoco Philips’ Darwin LNG Plant. In addition to its field construction services work for Oil Search Limited at its oil and gas production and support facilities in Papua New Guinea (PNG), Monadelphous also completed additional project work at the Agogo Production Facility. Monadelphous continued to build on its strong relationships with key customers. Subsequent to the year end the Company secured a new three-year facilities maintenance services contract associated with the Barrow Island, WA, assets operated by Chevron Australia, for the operation and maintenance of facilities and utilities. The contract includes water and wastewater treatment plants, power generation and distribution systems, as well as the management and maintenance of various buildings, vehicles, plant and equipment. OUTLOOK Australian market conditions are expected to remain soft on the back of historically low commodity prices in most sectors of the resources and energy market. Customers will continue to focus on reducing operating costs, improving productivity and restraining capital expenditure. Opportunities for new major construction contracts in the resources and energy sector are likely to remain at reduced levels. Prospects for maintenance and industrial services are expected to be positive, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Activity is expected to ramp up over the next few years as a number of multi-billion dollar LNG projects move to the operational phase. More broadly, maintenance service activity is expected to normalise following a long period of deferred activity. Monadelphous’ leading position in the services market places it in a strong position to capitalise on these opportunities.

The division reported sales revenue of $1.25 billion, down 25.5 per cent, as historically low commodity prices caused a further decline in activity in mining and oil and gas. Despite challenging conditions and an increasingly competitive environment, $250 million of new contracts were secured during the year. The contract wins included work in iron ore, water, pipelines, and upstream CSG. The safety performance of the division was exceptional with no lost-time injury incidents. A number of projects were delivered with a zero total case injury frequency rate (TCIFR) demonstrating Monadelphous’ commitment to safety. The Supervisor Safety Leadership Training Program continued, with 98 per cent of supervisors across the division successfully completing the program. In support of the company-wide cost reduction program, the division’s overhead structure was rationalised to ensure alignment with reduced levels of operational activity. Other initiatives included labour productivity improvement and innovation in project execution, as well as the rationalisation and disposal of surplus plant and equipment. Retention of key talent remained high in spite of reductions in activity levels. A number of experienced employees were transferred between projects to ensure the effective utilisation and retention of skills and experience, as well as provide career development and progression opportunities. The division’s investment in, and development of, future talent continued through the Company’s Graduate Development Program. The Water Infrastructure Group (WI Group) business was successfully integrated into the division during the year. The business has well established customer relationships with councils, utilities and the private sector and supports the Company’s long term market diversification strategy. The division progressed its overseas expansion strategy and commenced a process to establish a presence in North America to pursue opportunities in the shale oil and gas market. Other overseas opportunities being pursued include irrigation prospects in New Zealand, extending core services such as water and pipelines in Papua New Guinea and Canada, and expanding fabrication services to customers internationally. Subsequent to the reporting period, new water and fabrication services contracts were secured.

The wellhead separator skid market in Australia is expected to reach several thousand over the coming decade. OUTLOOK The fall in commodity prices in both resources and energy has led to customers reducing operating costs and cutting back on capital expenditure. Productivity and cost reduction will remain a strong focus for the division and efforts in relation to diversification will increase. Monadelphous will continue to actively pursue opportunities in new service and geographical markets. In the coming year, the division will focus its efforts to expand its offering to customers through its EPC execution and delivery model. It will continue the expansion of services overseas by entering the growing oil and gas market in North America and endeavouring to secure work and capitalise on overseas pipeline prospects. There is strong interest from overseas customers in modular fabrication supplied by the Company’s China-based fabrication business. Monadelphous will also continue to pursue work on offshore platforms in Australia and overseas, and look to broaden its revenue base by providing services outside traditional core areas. Core water services will be offered to new geographical markets, taking advantage of the newly acquired WI Group business relationships in Australia and New Zealand. The SMP, electrical and instrumentation (E&I) works on the BHP Billiton CD3R Route Upgrade was successfully completed during the year. The work comprised brownfields SMP and E&I work from Car Dumper 3 to Ship Loader 1 and 2 at Nelson Point, Port Hedland, WA. Consistent with the Company’s markets and growth strategy, the division has progressed with identifying and exploring opportunities under an engineer, procure and construct (EPC) delivery model with early contractor involvement (ECI) on potential new projects. ENERGY Work progressed on Monadelphous’ largest- ever construction contract at Inpex’s Ichthys Onshore LNG Facility in Darwin, Northern Territory (NT). The safety performance on the project to date has been strong and the project is progressing well. The contract includes the SMP works for the offsite and utilities areas of the facility. Monadelphous has cemented its position in the CSG market with three contracts for Australia Pacific LNG in Queensland, awarded in the previous year. The contracts involved the construction of upstream gas processing and compression facilities associated with the CSG-to-LNG project. In November 2014, Monadelphous secured a contract with Australia Pacific LNG for the construction of the Spring Gully Pipeline Compression Facility at Roma, in Queensland. TRANSMISSION PIPELINES The transmission pipelines business completed two large construction contracts in WA during the year. The first was the Fortescue River Gas Pipeline from Compressor Station 1 on the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) to the Fortescue Metals Group-operated Solomon Hub in the Pilbara. The second was the construction of the Wheatstone Ashburton West Pipeline near Onslow to link the Chevron Australia-operated Wheatstone project’s domestic gas plant with the DBNGP. Both projects were completed on schedule with strong environmental and safety performances. Work continued on the EPC contract with JKC on the gas export pipeline for the Ichthys LNG Project Onshore LNG Facility The second was through the China-based fabrication business SinoStruct, which secured a major contract with Australian Pacific LNG for the supply of wellhead separator skids to be commissioned at various locations in the Surat Basin, Queensland. RESOURCES The division was impacted by key iron ore customers significantly reducing capital expenditure levels as a result of the lower activity in the mining and minerals sector. Major projects undertaken included the structural, mechanical and piping (SMP), installation and commissioning works within Concentrator Lines 3 to 6 of the $160 million iron ore construction contract at the Sino Iron Project, Cape Preston, Western Australia (WA). The majority of the work, which commenced in July 2014, was on the main magnetic separator, ball mill and secondary magnetic separation facilities. Work continued on the Rio Tinto Iron Ore Cape Lambert Port B Project, WA. This contract comprised SMP works for the supply and installation of a screen house, two car dumpers and associated conveyor and transfer stations. Safety performance on the project was exceptional with 1.9 million man-hours completed without a recordable injury.

The pipelines business continues to explore opportunities overseas as part of its geographical expansion, and aims to enter the growing CSG market in Queensland. MARINE Work was completed on the Company’s first marine contract, carried out by the MMM joint venture, at the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Project at Gladstone, Queensland. The scope of work involved the construction of a new coal export wharf, and included a 1.8 km approach jetty and transfer tower platform, 0.5 km wharf structure, wharf conveyor, berthing and mooring dolphins, ship access platforms, a jetty conveyor and transfer tower and shiploader. The project employed more than 1,300 people at its peak and involved in excess of 2.6 million man-hours. A highlight of the project was the final lift and installation of the completed 1,200 tonne shiploader onto the wharf, in September 2014. WATER The Monadelphous Water Infrastructure business provides multidisciplinary services in engineering, including design management, construction, commissioning and operations and maintenance. A number of projects were undertaken and completed during the period. The design and construction of the East Nogoa Water Treatment Plant for the Central Highlands Regional Council in Emerald, Queensland, was completed during the year. The plant processes raw water from the Nogoa River, and supplies potable water to the local community. A key innovation in the project’s washwater handling system resulted in a reduced capital cost for the customer. In November 2014, Monadelphous was awarded a contract for the design, supply, construction and commissioning of the flood-affected stages 1-4 of the Oxley Creek Sewage Treatment Plant in Brisbane for Queensland Urban Utilities. In March 2015, Monadelphous concluded the purchase agreement with WI Group to acquire the contracts and net assets of its design, build and maintain business. 2 / OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWMONADELPHOUS ANNUAL REPORT 2015MAINTENANCE AND INDUSTRIAL SERVICES The Maintenance and Industrial Services division, which specialises in the planning, management and execution of multidisciplinary maintenance services, sustaining capital works and turnarounds, continued to foster strong relationships with key customers and retained all existing contracts despite a competitive environment. The division reported sales revenue of $621.2 million, down 6.4 per cent, as operating expenditure in both resources and energy declined and customers continued to focus on driving productivity and cost reduction in a market of lower commodity prices. Competition continues to be strong with downward pressure on margins. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, $380 million of contracts were secured. The Company was awarded a new three- year facilities maintenance services contract associated with the Barrow Island, Western Australia (WA), assets operated by Chevron Australia, for the operation and maintenance of facilities and utilities. The contract includes water and wastewater treatment plants, power generation and distribution systems, as well as the management and maintenance of various buildings, vehicles, plant and equipment. In WA, the division secured a three-year contract with a one-year extension option for the provision of labour for maintenance and turnaround services for South 32 Ltd at Worsley Alumina in Collie. In Queensland, a three-year contract to provide project, maintenance and turnaround works for Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) in Gladstone and a contract for BM Alliance Coal Operations Pty Ltd to provide maintenance works for a major dragline turnaround at Blackwater Mine in Blackwater, were secured. A number of successful major LNG turnarounds were completed during the year, including Karratha Gas Plant and Pluto LNG Facility in WA and Darwin LNG in the Northern Territory. More than one thousand people were employed for the three large turnarounds. The division was able to retain a large portion of the workforce to transition between the turnarounds. Safety continued to be fundamental to the division’s performance and success. The division achieved another strong safety result for the year, with 70 per cent of sites recordable-injury free. The total case injury frequency rate (TCIFR) improved 35 per cent to 2.41 incidents per million man- hours worked. The division’s focus on safety was highlighted when it was awarded the highest rating under CHESM (Contractor Health, Environment and Safety Management) from key customer, Chevron Australia. This recognition was a pleasing result for all involved and is evidence of Monadelphous’ strong commitment to keeping all its employees safe. The division continued its efforts to reduce overheads and maximise productivity and maintained a focus on strong financial administration. Further enhancements were made to the division’s innovation framework with the launch of a new innovation charter that articulates the commitment and intent to share and implement cost reduction and 35% IMPROVEMENT IN TOTAL CASE INJURY FREQUENCY RATE SALES REVENUE [ $ M ] 2015 621.2 2014 663.5 2013 661.7 2012 648.5 2011 401.2 19 HIGHLIGHTS REVENUE BY END CUSTOMER [ % ] Oil & Gas Other Minerals Iron Ore Coal Infrastructure 57.0% 19.9% 12.7% 7.9% 2.5% THREE MAJOR LNG TURNAROUNDS COMPLETED SALES OF 621.2$M CONTINUED FOCUS ON PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH INNOVATION Top Resource Estimator Aaron Brown working at the Dehydration Bed at Karratha Gas Plant, Karratha, Western Australia Bottom Pre-treatment skid at the Agogo Production Facility, C02 Remediation Project, Papua New Guinea (photo courtesy of Oil Search Limited) 2 / OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWMONADELPHOUS ANNUAL REPORT 2015 The division has focused on developing and implementing innovative improvements and cost saving initiatives for customers. improvement initiatives. This initiative will assist customers in their focus to reduce costs and improve productivity. To further develop and grow the competency of its oil and gas workforce, the division developed and introduced an integrated training and development framework, specifically focusing on oil and gas competencies. The framework encompasses training and assessment of existing and new employees involved in oil and gas projects to ensure the highest quality of service is delivered to customers. ENERGY The rapid fall in the oil price during the year impacted the oil and gas sector, with customers assessing their operating expenditure and paying close attention to productivity. The division has focused on developing and implementing innovative improvements and cost saving initiatives for customers. Major turnarounds were performed successfully at oil and gas facilities, including the Woodside-operated Karratha Gas Plant and Pluto LNG Facility and ConocoPhilips’ Darwin LNG Plant. In Papua New Guinea, Monadelphous continued to provide field construction services for Oil Search Limited at its oil and gas production and support facilities and completed further project work at the Agogo Production Facility. It also secured an extension to the facilities management services contract associated with the Gorgon Project operated by Chevron Australia, on Barrow Island, WA. The scope of services includes the operation and maintenance of water and wastewater treatment plants, power generation and distribution systems, as well as the management and maintenance of various buildings, vehicles and equipment. More than 350 people continue to be employed as a result of the contract, which was first secured in 2009. The division also 21 The division will continue with its growth strategy to identify potential new geographical markets and service offerings that leverage the Company’s core capability. There will be an ongoing emphasis on efficiency improvement to sustain high levels of customer service and maximise margins. commenced the ramp up of maintenance services on the Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) plant on Curtis Island following the completion of construction activities. RESOURCES The resources sector remained subdued during the year, with customers looking to further reduce costs. The division continued to drive productivity improvements to provide effective cost savings for customers. Activity included turnaround and maintenance services in WA for Rio Tinto’s coastal and inland operations in the Pilbara and BHP Billiton’s Nickel West operations in the Goldfields and, in South Australia, multidisciplinary services for BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam operation at Roxby Downs. A new three-year contract was secured to provide project, maintenance and turnaround works for QAL in Gladstone, Queensland. The new contract extends the relationship with QAL which has seen Monadelphous deliver services at the site since 1990. OUTLOOK The environment continues to be challenging, however there will be maintenance and sustaining capital works opportunities, both upstream and downstream, as new oil and gas production assets move from construction into the operational phase. Floating LNG offers other opportunities. The Company was awarded a new three-year facilities maintenance services contract associated with the Barrow Island, Western Australia (WA), assets operated by Chevron Australia, for the operation and maintenance of facilities and utilities.

Graduate Development Program By following these principles, the Company will ensure sustainable development and continue to deliver strong returns to shareholders. PEOPLE At Monadelphous, it is recognised that the Company’s source of competitive advantage is its people, and its continued success is a reflection of their quality and skills. Monadelphous remains focused on attracting, developing and retaining the right people who are highly competent, live the values and actively contribute to the long term success of the business. Weaker market conditions in resources and energy sectors and the continued slowdown in construction and maintenance activity across core markets resulted in the Company’s total workforce decreasing by 15 per cent during 2014/15 to 4,536 employees at 30 June. The Company’s Graduate Development Program continued to provide new talent. Seven new university graduates were recruited and 17 employees successfully completed the Monadelphous graduate program during the year. At the end of 2014/15, the Company had 60 employees enrolled in the program. Employee Development Centre The Monadelphous Registered Training Organisation at the Employee Development Centre in Belmont, Western Australia (WA) services employee pre-mobilisation requirements for the Company’s projects. It has the capability to provide accredited training across a range of courses applicable to project work. During the year the qualified trainers delivered more than 2,700 courses at the centre and on project sites. Supervisory development is a key initiative to ensure that Monadelphous’ operations are managed in the safest, most cost effective and productive way. Members of the learning and development team work alongside the Company’s 212 leading hands, 370 supervisors and 87 superintendents to assess competency, provide training and coach individuals to help them improve their leadership skills. The Company has 120 supervisors enrolled in an accredited Certificate IV in Frontline Management program which formally recognises their training. Many of the safety leadership components of the program are mandatory for Monadelphous’ supervisors. Emerging Leaders Program Monadelphous continued its commitment to future leadership with a further intake to our Emerging Leaders Program. Twenty three employees from across the Company were taken through an intensive three- day development program and associated individual coaching during the year. Succession Planning Monadelphous remained focused on identifying and retaining top talent. In the year ahead, the Company will place additional focus on succession planning for business-critical roles to ensure it is well invested in its people and prepared for future market conditions. This will also ensure that the Company has the right number of skilled people fulfilling the right roles to enable it to meet its strategic objectives. Diversity Our workforce consists of people with diverse cultures, backgrounds and skills, and this diversity enriches our breadth of knowledge, capability and experience. Monadelphous is committed to diversity, and manages and recruits based on competence and performance. It believes in the principle of equal opportunity in employment for all people, regardless of any personal attributes such as gender, sexual preference, marital status, pregnancy, family responsibilities, ethnicity, political or religious belief, cultural background, disability and age. The Company continues to work in accordance with its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which covers the period 2014- 2016 and was launched during NAIDOC Week 2014. The RAP continues the commitment made by Monadelphous to make Indigenous people feel welcome, respected and valued as employees, business partners and members of the community. It brings together a wide range of initiatives in employment, training and partnerships, and formalises a commitment to continue contributing to a sustainable future for Indigenous people. In addition to holding NAIDOC Week activities at worksites in July 2014, the Company sponsored related activities in Karratha, WA, and in Darwin, Northern Territory (NT).

A copy of this can be found on the Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s website and on the Monadelphous website. The Company progressed its measurable objectives on gender diversity to enhance female participation in the workforce. These are detailed in the Monadelphous Corporate Governance Statement, which is also on the Company’s website. In 2015/16, the Company will introduce its Diversity Committee made up of a cross section of employees. The committee will meet to discuss and consider a broad range of workplace diversity actions. SAFETY The Monadelphous Safety and Wellbeing value whereby all employees actively care for others remains at the forefront of business considerations. Safety has for many years strongly contributed to attracting and retaining quality employees and business partners, and delivering on customers’ demand for safety performance excellence. This continued during the year with another strong safety result. Further development activities to sustain improvement continued during 2014/15. A record rolling 12-month total case injury frequency rate (TCIFR) was attained during the year at 2.81 incidents per million man- hours worked. The Company finished the year with a TCIFR of 3.16, an improvement of 3 per cent on the previous year. The lost time injury frequency rate was 0.08 with just one incident recorded during the year. TCIFR 3.16 INCIDENTS PER MILLION MAN-HOURS WORKED. AN IMPROVEMENT OF 3% Strong leading indicators reflecting the Company’s continued investment in compliance activities, supervision, leadership and culture, have supported its ongoing improvement in lagging indicators and a bottom-line reduction in safety incidents. Supervisor safety and leadership competency development rates reached record levels in the year to support the desired safety culture. Focus on fatal risk areas continued with the implementation of comprehensive controls to further reduce risk. The investment by Monadelphous in a contemporary incident and safety data management system in the previous year is now reaping rewards with improved reporting and analysis of safety data to support decision making. Monadelphous has again contributed towards industry development of safety excellence through sponsorship of the Chamber of Minerals and Energy WA Safety and Health Conference. This is the sixth year of support provided to this industry-led event. COMMUNITY Monadelphous has a long history of investing in the communities in which it operates and working in partnerships that support the development of these regions. The Company supports its employees in their efforts to live the Monadelphous values through their involvement in initiatives that assist charitable organisations. The Company is focused on helping to address local needs and priorities. It encourages staff to contribute through participation in community events and provides support to worthy educational institutions and charitable foundations by way of sponsorships and ongoing donations. Engagement with industry organisations that help Monadelphous in building its future workforce continued through the support of Engineers Australia in Queensland and WA. Monadelphous continues to partner with Australian universities such as the University of Western Australia and Curtin University to support the training and development of the next generation of engineers. Employees frequently raise funds and volunteer their time in events and activities to assist the communities in which they live and work. Staff raised money for various charitable causes through fundraising activities including RUOK Day and Movember, and through participation in a number of events such as the Bridge to Brisbane, Perth City to Surf and the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Monadelphous sponsored various local initiatives including students at Donnybrook District High School in the Perth electric vehicle challenge and the launch of local community Ngarda radio in Roebourne, WA. The Company continued its support of disadvantaged families through The Smith Family and Foodbank Christmas appeals, and contributed to protecting the environment by participating in Clean Up Australia Day. Monadelphous also supported Oil Search Limited’s initiative to support the elimination of violence against women in Papua New Guinea, and contributed funds towards the management of a women’s safe house in the country’s Highlands. ENVIRONMENT The Company is committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the environment by identifying and mitigating risks to the natural environment and community heritage. Continuing with the strong environmental performance of previous years, no serious environmental incidents were reported during the year. Monadelphous continued to voluntarily monitor and report its carbon emissions data through the Carbon Disclosure Project. The Company’s total carbon emissions remain under the threshold for legislative reporting. In 2014/15, total emissions and Scope 1 and 2 emissions (National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act) are on track to reduce compared to the previous year. Monadelphous often undertakes work in sensitive environmental locations. During the year, the Company completed contracts at the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Project at Gladstone, Queensland, adjacent to the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef, and pipeline works for the Chevron- operated Gorgon Project’s CO2 injection operations on Barrow Island, WA, which is a Class A Nature Reserve. No serious environmental events occurred during construction and positive customer feedback was received in relation to the Company’s environmental performance.

The osprey is a protected species. The Monadelphous heavy lift team obtained the necessary permits, confirmed no eggs were present in the nest and carefully lowered the boom to remove the nest. Monadelphous changed its operating system to Office 365 during the year, enabling optimisation of cloud-based programs and further reducing reliance on paper-based outputs. During works on the Oxley Creek Sewage Treatment Plant in Brisbane, the Monadelphous team identified a large turtle in one of the settling tanks. The RSPCA was contacted and the team planned the rescue. The turtle was raised through a box system to reduce handling stress. It was taken by the RSPCA to be checked, cleaned, x-rayed and given a clean bill of health before being released into the nearby river system. The recording and management of fauna, through rescue and relocation, during construction of the Fortescue River Gas Pipeline and Wheatstone Ashburton West Pipeline projects across the Pilbara, resulted in a total in excess of 5,000 individual animal interactions. With continued focus on climate change within the Australian and world communities, Monadelphous has introduced new measures and targets for carbon emissions and energy-use reduction. Initiatives in these areas are expected to deliver efficiency and cost reduction in 2015/16.

MONADELPHOUS ANNUAL REPORT 2015MONADELPHOUS ANNUAL REPORT 20153 / FINANCIAL REPORT34 35 DIRECTORS’ REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) This Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2015 outlines the Key Management Personnel remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent Company. For the purposes of this report, the term ‘executive’ encompasses the Managing Director and senior General Managers of the Group. Details of Key Management Personnel (i) Directors C. G. B. Rubino Chairman R. Velletri Managing Director P. J. Dempsey Lead Independent Non-Executive Director C. P. Michelmore Independent Non-Executive Director D. R. Voss Independent Non-Executive Director (ii) Executives D. Foti Executive General Manager, Engineering Construction REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) Non-executive director remuneration Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. Structure The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors based on their experience, contributions to the Company and the prevailing market conditions. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 20 November 2014 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $600,000 in the ‘not to exceed sum’ paid to non-executive directors. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Non-executive directors have long been encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the director on-market). It is considered good governance for directors to have a stake in the Company. A. Erdash Executive General Manager, Maintenance & Industrial Services (resigned 21 November 2014) The non-executive directors do not receive retirement benefits, nor do they participate in any incentive programs. Z. Bebic Executive General Manager, Maintenance & Industrial Services P. Trueman Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary (appointed 21 November 2014) Remuneration Philosophy The remuneration of non-executive directors for the period ending 30 June 2015 is detailed in Table 1 on page 38 of this report. Executive remuneration Objective The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its employees. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled employees, which includes the directors and executives of the Company. The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company so as to: To this end, the Company embodies the principles of providing competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives, and the linking of executive rewards to shareholder value, in its remuneration framework. Remuneration Committee The remuneration committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive management team. The remuneration committee utilises remuneration survey data compiled by a recognised remuneration research organisation across a range of industries and geographic regions. The salary survey data is updated every 6 months and is used to assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and the executive management team. This assessment is made with reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team. In determining the levels of remuneration of directors and executives, the remuneration committee takes into consideration the performance of the Group, business unit and the individual. Remuneration Structure – – – Reward executives for group, business unit and individual performance; Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. Structure In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the remuneration committee receives external survey data from a recognised remuneration research organisation and considers market levels for comparable executive roles when making its recommendations to the Board. Remuneration consists of a fixed remuneration element and variable remuneration elements in the form of Short Term and Long Term Incentives. The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for each member of the executive management team by the remuneration committee. Tables 1 and 2 on pages 38 and 39 of this report detail the proportion of fixed and variable remuneration for each of the executive directors and the members of the executive management team of the Company. Fixed remuneration Objective In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive management remuneration is separate and distinct. The level of fixed remuneration is set to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the remuneration committee and the process consists of a review of company-wide, business unit and individual performance and relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally. Monadelphous has a structured approach aimed at delivering fixed remuneration which is market competitive and rewards performance. The Company participates in a number of respected remuneration surveys from which it receives quarterly or six-monthly market and forecast data, and its remuneration system is designed to analyse detailed market and sector information at various levels. Structure Executive team members are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. The fixed remuneration component of the executives of the Company is detailed in Tables 1 and 2 on pages 38 and 39 of this report. MONADELPHOUS ANNUAL REPORT 2015MONADELPHOUS ANNUAL REPORT 20153 / FINANCIAL REPORT36 37 DIRECTORS’ REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) Executive remuneration (continued) Proposed incentive plan for 30 June 2016 Over the past 12 months, Monadelphous has undertaken a review of its STI and LTI programs for KMP and other employees, to identify the most appropriate incentive plan that is best aligned to the creation of shareholder wealth. The Board is considering the conversion of the current separate STI and LTI programs into a simplified combined incentive model that rewards past performance of both the Company and the employee, continues to act as a retention mechanism and motivates the employee to grow the Company through long term share ownership, thereby aligning the incentive model with the interests of shareholders in an optimal manner. Proposed awards under the plan will be comprised of cash and performance rights (effectively zero priced options) which convert to shares over a vesting period. Service period and disposal restrictions will be incorporated within the plan to ensure employee retention and long term share ownership. In order to drive shareholder value any rewards provided will be based on the performance of the Company and will be comparable to the current STI and LTI plans. Performance targets will include measures that are linked to the achievement of Company strategy. Awards may be granted annually, to allow flexibility and alignment to the business cycle and prevailing market environment, and will be at the Board’s discretion. It is expected that the new model will take effect for the performance year ending 30 June 2016. Employment contracts All executives have non-fixed term employment contracts. The Company or executive may terminate the employment contract by providing 3 months written notice. The Company may terminate the contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Company performance The profit after income tax expense and basic earnings per share for the Group for the last five years is as follows: Profit after income tax expense Basic earnings per share Share Price 2015 $’000 2014 $’000 2013 $’000 2012 $’000 2011 $’000 105,825 146,510 156,314 137,335 95,067 113.91c 159.05c 173.03c 155.24c 108.84c $9.37 $15.71 $16.14 $21.86 $18.40 A review of the Company’s performance and returns to shareholders over the last five years has been provided on page 13 of this report. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) Executive remuneration (continued) Variable remuneration – Short term incentive (STI) Objective The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Company’s targets with the performance of the employee charged with meeting those targets. The total STI for executives is set at a level so as to remunerate the executives for achieving the operational targets and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable in the circumstances. Structure On an annual basis at the end of the financial year, after consideration of performance against KPIs, an overall performance rating for the Company and each individual business unit is approved by the remuneration committee. The individual performance of each executive is also rated and all three are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the short-term incentive payment made to each individual. The KPIs considered in the assessment process adopt a balanced scorecard approach to measuring performance. The following categories of performance measures are considered: – – – – – Financial Measures: including revenue, contribution and financial administration metrics, Safety Measures: including lost time and total case injury frequency metrics, Customer Satisfaction Measures: including customer performance feedback, Employee Retention and Development Metrics; and Progress made in terms of specific long-term strategic initiatives. The KPIs have been selected to underpin the Company’s core values and ensuring performance is aligned to the strategic direction of the business. The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Company is subject to the approval of the remuneration committee. Payments made are usually delivered as a cash bonus. The overall performance rating for the Company was not at a level to result in the award of the STI for the 2014 or 2015 financial year. No amounts were paid or are payable in relation to Key Management Personnel. Variable remuneration – Long term incentive (LTI) Objective The objective of the LTI plan is to retain and reward key employees in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. Structure LTI grants to executives are delivered at the discretion of the remuneration committee in the form of options. The individual performance rating of each executive and the annual cost to the Company, on an individual basis, of any issue is taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of options granted. No Directors or Key Management Personnel received options during the year ended 30 June 2015. 75,000 options were forfeited by Key Management Personnel during the year. All executives are eligible to participate in the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan. In accordance with the rules of the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan, options may only be exercised in specified window periods (or at the discretion of the directors in particular circumstances): 25% 2 years after the options were issued 25% 3 years after the options were issued 50% 4 years after the options were issued In addition, the ability to exercise options during each applicable window period is subject to the financial performance of the Company during the option vesting period. The options shall only be capable of exercise during that window period where the Company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) metric is growing at a rate of at least 10% per year on average. If, however, this hurdle is not achieved for a particular window period, rather than lapsing, the options will be re-tested during all later window periods in respect of that issue and may become exercisable at that later date. Hedging of equity awards The Company prohibits executives from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested LTI awards. The prohibition includes entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options awarded as part of their remuneration package. Adherence to the policy is monitored on an annual basis and involves each KMP signing an annual declaration of compliance with the hedging policy.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 GENERAL INFORMATION The consolidated financial report of Monadelphous Group Limited (the Group) and its subsidiaries for the year ended 30 June 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 17 August 2015. GENERAL INFORMATION (continued) Foreign currency translation (continued) Transactions and balances Monadelphous Group Limited is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Group’s registered office is in Victoria Park, Western Australia. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rate ruling at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report. Basis of preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which: – has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as applicable to a for-profit entity. – has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale investments, which have been measured at fair value. – – is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated under the option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 98/100. The Company is an entity to which the class order applies. adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the operations of the Group and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. – does not early adopt any Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2015. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. A list of controlled entities (subsidiaries) at year end is contained in note 18. Consolidation of the subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control over the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Prior to 1 July 2009 The purchase method of accounting was used to account for all business combinations. Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency. Both the functional and presentation currencies of Monadelphous Group Limited, its Australian subsidiaries and its Papua New Guinea subsidiary (Monadelphous PNG Ltd) are Australian dollars (A$). The functional currency is United States dollars (US$) for the Hong Kong subsidiary (Moway International Limited), the Singapore subsidiary (Monadelphous Singapore Pte Ltd),the Mongolian subsidiary (Monadelphous Mongolia LLC) and the US subsidiary (Monadelphous Engineering US Inc.). The functional currency of the Chinese subsidiary (Moway AustAsia Steel Structures Trading (Beijing) Company Limited) is Chinese Renminbi (RMB). The functional currency of the New Zealand subsidiary (Monadelphous Engineering NZ Pty Ltd) is New Zealand Dollars (NZD). Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Translation of Group companies’ functional currency to presentation currency As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the Hong Kong, Chinese, Singaporean, New Zealand, US and Mongolian subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Monadelphous Group Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and the income statements are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. Exchange variations arising from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. Other accounting policies Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements or at note 30. Key judgements and estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Management have identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made: Revenue Revenue and cost of sales are recognised in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion for construction contracts. Fundamental to the calculation of the percentage of completion is a reliable estimate of project revenues and project costs. Various factors contribute to the Group’s reliability of those estimates including, but not limited to, a thorough review process of all project costs and revenues, and the experience and knowledge of project management. In determining revenues and expenses for construction contracts, management make key assumptions regarding estimated revenues and expenses over the life of the contracts. Key assumptions regarding costs to complete contracts include estimation of labour, technical costs, impact of delays and productivity. Changes in these estimation methods could have a material impact on the reported results of the Group. Judgement is used in determining the point at which profit recognition commences. Generally profit does not commence recognition on contracts in the early stages of completion. Taxation Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unrecouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustments, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the income statement. Share based payments The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME Rendering of services Finance revenue Revenue Net gains on disposal of property, plant and equipment Other income Other income Recognition and measurement 2015 $’000 2014 $’000 1,865,027 2,329,589 4,478 3,371 1,869,505 2,332,960 2,689 1,410 4,099 3,605 2,091 5,696 Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Rendering of Services Where the contract outcome can be reliably measured revenue is recognised as services are rendered to the customer for maintenance contracts. For construction contracts refer to the accounting policy below. Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured contract costs are recognised as an expense as incurred, and where it is probable that the costs will be recovered, revenue is recognised only to the extent that costs have been incurred. This also applies to construction contracts. Construction contracts When accounting for construction contracts, the contracts are either combined or segmented if this is deemed necessary to reflect the substance of the agreement. Revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method. Stage of completion is agreed with the customer on a work certified to date basis, as a percentage of the overall contract. Revenue from cost plus contracts is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred plus a percentage of fees earned during the financial year. The percentage of fee earned during the financial year is based on the stage of completion of the contract. Where a loss is expected to occur from a construction contract the excess of the total expected contract costs over expected contract revenue is recognised as an expense immediately. Interest income Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. 2.

All other finance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortisation Refer to notes 8 and 9 for details on depreciation and amortisation. Employee benefits expense Refer to note 13 for employee benefits expense and note 25 for share-based payments expense. Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Operating leases Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. The minimum lease payments of operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. Government Grants The Group recognises the excess of the research and development (“R&D”) tax offset over the statutory rate (‘the R&D offset’) being an additional 10% deduction as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance it will be received and any attached conditions will be complied with. As the grant relates to R&D expenditure already incurred it is recognised in the income statement in the period it became receivable as a reduction to cost of sales.

Tax consolidation Monadelphous Group Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003. Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The head entity, Monadelphous Group Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. Recognition and Measurement Current taxes Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred Taxes Deferred income tax is provided for using the full liability balance sheet approach on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 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. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 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. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists and they relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 2015 $’000 2014 $’000 The following reflects the income and share data used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share: For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise the following at 30 June: Net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent Earnings used in calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share 105,825 105,825 146,510 146,510 Number Number Cash balances comprise: – Cash at bank – Short term deposits Number of shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue used in the calculation of basic earnings per share 92,901,735 92,116,475 Effect of dilutive securities Share options – 57,510 Adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share 92,901,735 92,173,985 Conversions, calls, subscriptions or issues after 30 June 2015: Since the end of the financial year, no holders of employee options have exercised the rights of conversion to acquire ordinary shares. Calculation of earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for: – – – costs of servicing equity (other than dividends); the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

In this case, payment terms will not be extended. Each business unit has been in direct contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied that payment will be received. Receivables not impaired nor past due Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due. The Group trades with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Publicly available credit information from recognised providers is utilised for this purpose where available. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. Other debtors Other debtors, which includes accrued sales, are non-interest bearing and have repayment terms between 30 to 60 days. Recognition and measurement Trade receivables, which generally have 30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectable amounts. Bad debts are written off when identified. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at a Company and business unit level. An impairment provision is recognised where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivables. Financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments, historical bad debt performance or debts more than 60 days overdue are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment All classes of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in the income statement as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis on all classes of property, plant and equipment other than freehold land. The estimated useful life of buildings is 40 years; plant and equipment is between 3 and 20 years. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill We have performed an impairment assessment based on the policy below. No material impairment was noted. At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement. 8.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Intangible Assets $’000 Year ended 30 June 2015 At 1 July 2014 Amortisation At 30 June 2015 Year ended 30 June 2014 At 1 July 2013 Amortisation At 30 June 2014 844 (779) 65 1,850 (1,006) 844 Goodwill $’000 2,947 – 2,947 2,947 – 2,947 Total $’000 3,791 (779) 3,012 4,797 (1,006) 3,791 Description of the Group’s intangible assets Intangible assets relate to the fair value of contracts acquired on acquisition of PearlStreet Energy Services Pty Ltd (subsequently re-named Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd). Intangible assets have been assessed as having a finite life and are amortised using the straight line method over a period of 4 years. Impairment testing of the Group’s intangible assets and goodwill At 30 June 2015, no impairment loss has been recognised in the income statement (2014: $nil). Goodwill acquired through a business combination has been allocated to cash generating units (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes. The CGUs are the entity Monadelphous Electrical & Instrumentation Pty Ltd, the Hunter Valley business unit, the entity Monadelphous KT Pty Ltd and the entity Monadelphous Energy Services Pty Ltd. None of the CGUs are material to the Group. The recoverable amount of each CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period and applying a discount rate to the cash flow projections in the range of 12% to 15%. No reasonable possible changes in key assumptions would result in the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount. Recognition and measurement Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the consideration over the fair value of the Group’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination, is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU (group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. If the recoverable amount of the CGU (group of CGUs) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed. Intangible assets The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite. The intangible assets are amortised over their useful life. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for the intangible assets is reviewed at least each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the assets are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets is recognised in the income statement in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. 10. OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS Other non-current assets 2015 $’000 1,247 2014 $’000 2,731 At 30 June 2014 and 2015, other non-current assets consist of investments in AnaeCo Limited (ASX: ANQ). The Group has a 15.02% interest in AnaeCo Limited, whose principal activity is the development and commercialisation of a process for the treatment of organic municipal solid waste. During the year the investment was reclassified from available-for-sale securities to investments in associates. The investment is not considered to be material. Recognition and measurement Available-for-sale securities Available-for-sale securities are equity securities that are designated as available-for-sale. After initial recognition, available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in the income statement. The fair values of investments are determined by reference to the quoted market bid price at the close of business on the reporting date. Investments in associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence, being the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control over those policies. The Group’s investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. The Group recognises its share of the results of operations of the associate in the consolidated income statement. The Group’s investment in associates are not material. 11. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES CURRENT Trade payables Advances on construction work in progress – Amounts due to customers Sundry creditors and accruals 2015 $’000 2014 $’000 64,908 191,847 30,473 287,228 28,965 182,053 14,844 225,862 Recognition and measurement Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and are not discounted due to their short term nature. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are usually paid within 30 to 45 days of recognition. Sundry creditors and accruals are non-interest bearing and have an average term of 45 days.

Interest is charged at the bank’s fixed rate. Bank loans are secured either by way of registered first mortgages over land and buildings of a controlled entity, with an interlocking debenture from the parent entity and controlled entities, or by a fixed and floating charge over the assets of certain companies within the group. The average discount rate implicit in the bank loans is 5.66% (2014: 5.48%). Hire purchase agreements have an average term of three years. The average discount rate implicit in the hire purchase liability is 5.31% (2014: 6.18%). The hire purchase liability is secured by a charge over the hire purchase assets. Defaults and breaches During the current and prior year, there were no defaults or breaches on any of the loans. Recognition and measurement Interest bearing loans and borrowings Interest bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Gains or losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised. Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership. Finance leases Leases which effectively transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item are classified as finance leases. The financed asset is stated at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. An interest bearing liability of equal value is also recognised at inception. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the lease liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as an expense in the income statement. Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term. 13. PROVISIONS CURRENT Employee benefits Workers’ compensation NON-CURRENT Employee benefits – long service leave Movements in provisions Workers compensation Carrying amount at the beginning of the year Additional provision Amounts utilised during the year Carrying amount at the end of the financial year Recognition and measurement Provisions 2015 $’000 2014 $’000 70,931 34,846 105,777 78,200 35,146 113,346 5,583 7,782 2015 $’000 35,146 10,959 (11,259) 34,846 Provisions are recognised when the Group 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. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, 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 income statement net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure to settle the present obligation at the reporting date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free government bond rate relevant to the expected life of the provision is used as a discount rate. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Employee benefits Employee benefits includes liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave, rostered days off, vesting sick leave, project incentives and project redundancies. It is customary within the engineering and construction industry for incentive payments and redundancies to be paid to employees at the completion of a project. The provision has been created to cover the expected costs associated with these statutory and project employee benefits. Liabilities for short term benefits expected to be wholly settled within twelve months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Expenses for non-vesting sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. Long service leave The liability for long term benefits including long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of the expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the estimated future cash outflows. Workers’ compensation It is customary for all entities within the engineering and construction industry to be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Payments under these policies are calculated differently depending on which state of Australia the entity is operating in. Premiums are generally calculated based on actual wages paid and claims experience. Wages are estimated at the beginning of each reporting period. Final payments are made when each policy is closed out based on the difference between actual wages and the original estimated amount. The amount of each payment varies depending on the number of incidents recorded during each period and the severity thereof. The policies are closed out within a five year period through negotiation with the relevant insurance company. The provision has been created to cover the expected costs associated with closing out each insurance policy and is adjusted accordingly based on the actual payroll incurred and the severity of incidents that have occurred during each period.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Capital is managed by the Group’s Chief Financial Officer in conjunction with the Group’s Finance & Accounting department. Management continually monitor the Group’s net cash/debt position and the gearing levels to ensure efficiency and compliance with the Group’s banking facility covenants, including the gearing ratio, operating leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. At 30 June 2015, the Group is in a net cash position of $186,610,000 (2014: $180,828,000) and has a debt to equity ratio of 6.3% (2014: 10.2%) which is within the Group’s net cash and debt to equity target levels. During the year ended 30 June 2015, management paid dividends of $101,241,251. The policy is to payout dividends of 80% to 100% of annual net profit after tax, subject to the working capital requirements of the business, potential investment opportunities and business and economic conditions generally. The capital of the Company is considered to be contributed equity. 16.

Impairment No assets employed in the joint operations were impaired during the year ended 30 June 2015 (2014: $nil). Recognition and Measurement Joint arrangements are arrangements of which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractual agreed sharing of control of the arrangement which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint arrangements are classified as either a joint operation or joint venture, based on the rights and obligations arising from the contractual obligations between the parties to the arrangement. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the individual assets and obligations arising from the joint arrangement, the arrangement is classified as a joint operation and as such, the Group recognises its: – – – – Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; Revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; and Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the investment is classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the cost of the investment is adjusted by the post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the venture.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts, cash, short-term deposits and derivatives. The Group is exposed to financial risks which arise directly from its operations. The Group has policies and measures in place to manage financial risks encountered by the business. Primary responsibility for the identification of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board determines policies for the management of financial risks. It is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer and senior management to implement the policies set by the Board and for the constant day to day management of the Group’s financial risks. The Board reviews these policies on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to address the risks faced by the Group. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s policy to minimise risk from fluctuations in interest rates is to utilise fixed interest rates in its bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts. Cash and short term deposits are exposed to floating interest rate risks. The Group manages its foreign currency risk arising from significant supplier contracts in foreign currencies by holding foreign currency or taking out forward exchange contracts. Analysis is performed on a customer’s credit rating prior to signing contracts and analysis is performed regularly of credit exposures and aged debt to manage credit and liquidity risk. The policies in place for managing the financial risks encountered by the Group are summarised below. (a) Risk exposures and responses Interest rate risk The Group’s exposure to variable interest rates is as follows: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Net exposure Notes 5 2015 $’000 2014 $’000 209,835 209,835 217,859 217,859 The Group utilises a number of financial institutions to obtain the best interest rate possible and to manage its risk. The Group does not enter into interest rate hedges. At 30 June 2015, reasonable possible movement in variable interest rates, based on a review of historical movements and forward rate curves for forward rates would not have had a material impact on the Group. (a) Risk exposures and responses (continued) Foreign currency risk (continued) Year ended 30 June 2014 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Net Exposure PGK AUD$’000 USD AUD$’000 11,142 2,819 16,400 – – (661) 13,961 15,739 At 30 June 2015, reasonably possible movements in USD foreign exchanges rates, based on a review of historical movements, would not have had a material impact on the Group. At 30 June 2015, if the PGK foreign exchange rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows: Judgements of reasonably possible movements relating to financial assets and liabilities denominated in PGK: +10% (2014: +15%) -10% (2014: – 15%) Post Tax Profit Higher/(Lower) Other Comprehensive Income Higher/(Lower) 2015 $’000 (1,322) 1,322 2014 $’000 (1,466) 1,466 2015 $’000 – – 2014 $’000 – – The reasonably possible movements have been based on review of historical movements. Foreign currency risk Credit risk As a result of operations in Papua New Guinea, China, Mongolia and New Zealand the Group’s statement of financial position can be affected by movements in the US$/A$, PGK/A$ and RMB/A$ exchange rates. The Group trades with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Publicly available credit information from recognised providers is utilised for this purpose where available. The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency. Where possible, Monadelphous does not take on foreign exchange risk. At 30 June 2015, the Group had no forward contracts. The Group also mitigates its exposure to foreign currency risk by minimising excess foreign currency balances in overseas jurisdictions not required for working capital. At 30 June 2015, the Group had the following exposure to foreign currency: Year ended 30 June 2015 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Net Exposure PGK AUD$’000 USD AUD$’000 17,140 1,780 7,605 10,584 (31) (3) 18,889 18,186 In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to accounts receivable by undertaking transactions with a number of customers within the resources, energy and infrastructure industry sector. There are multiple contracts with our significant customers, across a number of their subsidiaries, divisions within those subsidiaries and locations. For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the relevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without the specific approval of the Chairman, Managing Director or Chief Financial Officer. With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprises cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group minimises its exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents by investing funds only with counter parties rated A+ or higher by Standard & Poor’s. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is its cash and trade receivables representing $485,060,000 at 30 June 2015 (2014: $405,729,000). Since the Group trades with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

Nature of revolving credit (b) Net fair values of financial assets and liabilities The carrying amounts and estimated aggregate net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at balance date are materially the same. Interest bearing liabilities with fixed interest rates: The fair value includes the value of contracted cash flows, discounted at market rates. The revolving credit includes bank loans and hire purchase/leasing facilities. Refer to note 12 for terms and conditions. Cash and cash equivalent: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity. The Group’s objective is to manage the liquidity of the business by monitoring project cash flows and through the use of financing facilities. The Group currently utilises financing facilities in the form of bank loans and hire purchase liabilities. The liquidity of the group is managed by the Group’s Finance & Accounting department. The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs, repayments and interest resulting from financial liabilities as of 30 June 2015. The remaining contractual maturities of the Group’s financial liabilities are: Financial liabilities 6 months or less 6 – 12 months 1 – 5 years 2015 $’000 2014 $’000 294,924 5,020 11,867 311,811 236,367 11,167 17,873 265,407 Receivables and payables: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to short term maturity. The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise: Level 1: The fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. Level 2: The fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3: The fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. There were no material financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value at 30 June 2015 or 30 June 2014.

Legal dispute with Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (‘WICET’) In June 2015, Monadelphous announced that MMM, an unincorporated joint arrangement in which Monadelphous holds a 50 per cent interest, will be lodging a counterclaim in the Supreme Court of Queensland in response to a claim filed against Monadelphous by the owners of Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd (WICET). MMM has to date received successful adjudication from the Building and Construction Industry Payment Agency (“BCIPA”) (a Queensland statutory agency designed to facilitate the adjudication of payments in the construction industry by expert adjudicators) for payments relating to the project totalling approximately $90 million. WICET filed a claim relating to the MMM contracts in the Supreme Court of Queensland totalling approximately $130 million (net of the proceeds of bank guarantees plus general damages, interest and costs), in which it seeks to recover monies, the majority of which include those paid to MMM under BCIPA and variations previously approved by WICET. Monadelphous rejects WICET’s position as outlined in the claim and will vigorously defend the proceedings.

SHARE BASED PAYMENT EXPENSE The Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan and Employee Option Prospectus have been established where eligible directors and employees of the consolidated entity are issued with options over the ordinary shares of Monadelphous Group Limited. The options, issued for nil consideration, are issued in accordance with the guidelines established by the remuneration committee of Monadelphous Group Limited. The options issued carry various terms and exercising conditions. There is currently 1 director and 176 employees participating in these schemes. In accordance with the rules of the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan and Employee Option Prospectus, options may only be exercised in specified window periods (or at the discretion of the directors in particular circumstances): 25% 2 years after the options were issued 25% 3 years after the options were issued 50% 4 years after the options were issued The ability to exercise options during each applicable window period is subject to the financial performance of the Company during the option vesting period. The options shall only be capable of exercise during that window period where the Company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) metric is growing at a rate of at least 10% per year on average. If, however, this hurdle is not achieved for a particular window period, rather than lapsing, the options will be re-tested during all later window periods in respect of that issue and may become exercisable at that later date.

These benefits are provided through the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Plan and the Monadelphous Group Limited Employee Option Prospectus. The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Monadelphous Group Limited (market conditions), if applicable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied. Short term benefits Post employment Long term benefits Share-based payments Total compensation Loans to associates 2015 $ 2014 $ 3,787,144 3,339,346 127,192 114,188 (1,178,506) 102,211 63,899 852,467 2,850,018 4,357,923 At 30 June 2015, an amount totalling $7,957,000 (2014: $2,000,000) had been loaned to an AnaeCo Limited. Monadelphous owns 15.02% of the ordinary share capital of AnaeCo Limited. The loan is included in the statement of financial position within other receivables. Interest is payable on the loan at a rate of 12% per annum. The loan is secured by a first ranking charge over AnaeCo Limited’s assets. 28. OPERATING SEGMENTS Revenue is derived by the consolidated entity from the provision of engineering services to the resources, energy and infrastructure industry sector. For the year ended 30 June 2015, the Engineering Construction division contributed revenue of $1,245.5 million (2014: $1,670.8 million), the Maintenance and Industrial Services division contributed revenue of $621.2 million (2014: $663.5 million), and Airport Services contributed revenue of $nil (2014: $7.9 million). Included in these amounts is $1.7 million (2014: $12.6 million) of inter-entity revenue, which is eliminated on consolidation. The operating divisions are exposed to similar risks and rewards from operations, and are only segmented to facilitate appropriate management structures. The directors believe that the aggregation of the operating divisions is appropriate for segment reporting purposes as they: – – – – – have similar economic characteristics in that they have similar gross margins; perform similar services for the same industry sector; have similar operational business processes; provide a diversified range of similar engineering services to a large number of common clients; utilise a centralised pool of engineering assets and shared services in their service delivery models, and the services provided to customers allow for the effective migration of employees between divisions; and The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share. – operate predominately in one geographical area, namely Australia. Accordingly all services divisions have been aggregated to form one segment. The Group has a number of customers to which it provides services. The largest customer represented 13% of the Group’s revenue. Three other customers contributed over 10% of revenue, representing 12%, 11% and 11% of the Group’s revenue. There are multiple contracts with these customers, across a number of their subsidiaries, divisions within those subsidiaries and locations. 26. AUDITORS’ REMUNERATION The auditor of Monadelphous Group Limited is Ernst & Young. Amounts received or due and receivable by Ernst & Young Australia for: – An audit or review of the financial report of the entity and any other entity in the consolidated entity – Other services in relation to the entity and any other entity in the consolidated entity – – tax compliance assurance related Amounts received or due and receivable by other accounting firms for: – – tax compliance * other services 2015 $ 2014 $ 200,479 178,975 29,500 – 229,979 43,500 5,665 228,140 1,064,196 1,010,733 – 5,508 1,064,196 1,016,241 Ernst & Young has provided an auditor’s independence declaration to the Directors of Monadelphous Group Limited confirming that the provision of the other services has not impaired their independence as auditors. * Tax compliance fees paid to other accounting firms during the financial year ended 30 June 2015 relate predominantly to the application for Research and Development Tax Concessions and overseas tax compliance services.

New accounting standards and interpretations Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2015. The potential effects of the following standards and interpretations have not yet been fully determined: Reference Summary AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 contains accounting requirement for financial instruments, replacing AASB 139. The standard: (a) contains a simpler model for classification and measurement of financial assets; (b) a single, forward looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses; (c) a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting including changes to hedge effectiveness testing, treatment of hedging costs, risk components that can be hedged and disclosures. Application date of standard Application date for Group 1 January 2018 1 July 2018 This standard sets out the guidance on the accounting for acquisition of interests in joint operations in which the activity constitutes a business. This standard clarifies the use of revenue-based methods to calculate depreciation on property, plant and equipment is not appropriate. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation Guidance is provided on topics such as the point in which revenue is recognised, accounting for variable consideration, costs of fulfilling and obtaining a contract and various related matters. New disclosures about revenue are also introduced. The Group has commenced a detailed review of its contracts with customers to determine the impact, if any, of AASB 15 to revenue recognition of the Group. At the date of this report, that assessment is ongoing and it has not been possible to quantify the effect of AASB 15. AASB 2014-10 amends AASB 10 and AASB 128 to address an inconsistency between the requirements in AASB 10 and those in AASB 128 (August 2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. This standard provides clarification amendments to AASB 5, AASB 7, AASB 9 and AASB 134.

The amendments are designed to further encourage companies to apply professional judgment in determining what information to disclose in the financial statements. The Standard completes the AASB’s project to remove Australian guidance on materiality from Australian Accounting Standards.
