Following on from a highly successful 2012 ﬁ nancial year, the past 12 months have certainly been more challenging, however the Company to achieved a solid result for the year ended 30 June 2013. The Group’s Net Proﬁ t After Tax (NPAT) was $74.1 million on revenue of $1.374 billion, representing a 1% increase in revenue over the result achieved in 2012. The result was primarily generated from revenue growth in the Civil and Action Drill & Blast’s Divisions. Divisional revenue was $860.6 million from Civil, $404.5 million from Mining, $150.5 million from Action Drill & Blast and $41.8 million from Action Mining Services. The Board remains cognisant of the need to achieve consistent ﬁ nancial performance year-on-year in order to deliver value to its shareholders. Our performance this year maintained solid returns on equity and capital employed, notwithstanding a number of challenging events and circumstances. These challenges commenced from the end of the ﬁ rst quarter of the 2013 ﬁ nancial year following market volatility and uncertainty around commodity prices. As a result, a number of NRW’s mining contracts were terminated or renegotiated. This resulted in a number of redundancies for the ﬁ rst time in the Company’s history. NRW was able to partially minimise the impact on employees by redeploying displaced mining personnel to other Divisions wherever possible. I would like to thank all of our employees for their efforts throughout the year, and our leadership team for their contribution during what has been a difﬁ cult year for the Company and the mining sector in general. I would also like to acknowledge the quality of the work our employees undertake and I congratulate them on the high standards achieved. The professionalism and dedication of our people has been further evidenced this year by another outstanding safety result and the Board commends our employees on their commitment to continually improving safety across the organisation. DR IAN BURSTON CHAIRMAN NRW Holdings Limited 4 Chairman’s Letter NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 “I would like to thank all of our employees for their efforts throughout the year, and our leadership team for their contribution during what has been a difﬁ cult year for the Company, and the mining sector in general” Chairman’s Letter NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 5 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER YEAR IN REVIEW I present to both our shareholders and stakeholders the results of NRW Holdings Limited for the ﬁ nancial year ended 30 June 2013. NRW has reported record revenue for the sixth consecutive year since listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The ﬁ nancial year revenue was $1.374 billion, an increase, of 1% on the prior corresponding period (FY12: $1.358 billion). Full year 2013 Net Proﬁ t After Tax (NPAT) declined by 23.7% to $74.1 million, compared to the prior corresponding period’s NPAT result of $97.1 million. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) was 31%, compared to the prior corresponding period (FY12: 41%), still an excellent outcome and consistent with NRW’s rolling ﬁ ve year average. NRW’s Net Debt to Equity ratio moderately increased, ﬁ nishing the 2013 ﬁ nancial year at 25%, compared to the prior corresponding period (FY12: 18%). The Company enjoyed excellent safety performance which is reﬂ ected in the improved Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) currently at 0.55, which represents a 18% decrease from the previous year (FY12: 0.67). A relatively ﬂ at line for the Group in Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rates (TRIFR) was experienced, and at 30 June 2013 is at 5.47, slightly higher than the prior corresponding period (FY12: 5.2). Although the Company’s TRIFR ended the year ﬂ at, the Civil Division achieved an outstanding result with a TRIFR of 2.47. The NRW Civil Division had a very successful year and continued strong year on year growth with record revenue of $860.6 million representing an 18% increase on the 2012 ﬁ nancial year ($731.7 million). Particularly pleasing for the Civil Division was reaching a signiﬁ cant milestone in our diversiﬁ cation strategy, as we completed our ﬁ rst major project in the oil and gas market at Wheatstone, as well as our ﬁ rst large scale government infrastructure works on the Great Eastern Highway Alliance. We also attained a new key client in the iron ore market, with the award of a bulk earthworks contract on the Roy Hill Iron Ore Project. 6 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 “CIVIL DIVISION CONTINUES STRONG YEAR ON YEAR GROWTH, WITH RECORD REVENUE OF $860.6 MILLION, 18% ON FY12” FINANCIAL OVERVIEW: • Record revenue of $1.374 billion • EBIT of $119.4 million • EBIT Margin of 8.7% • NPAT of $74.1 million • NPAT Margin of 5.4% • Conservative Net debt / Equity position of 25% • Cash balance $131.0 million • Final dividend of 5 cents fully franked, totalling 13 cents fully franked for full ﬁ nancial year • Order book of $1 billion. CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 7 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER YEAR IN REVIEW The Mining Division revenue decreased to $404.5 million (FY12: $542.2 million). NRW’s mining operations were impacted by contract terminations at Fortescue’s Solomon and Christmas Creek operations, as well as NRW’s Guinean operations at Simandou. Action Drill & Blast experienced continued strong growth during the 2013 ﬁ nancial year with revenue of $150.5 million. This represents a 33% increase on the 2012 ﬁ nancial year revenue of $113.1 million. Of particular note is the award of two signiﬁ cant multi-year contracts, at Cloudbreak and Isaac Plains bringing longer tenure to Action Drill & Blast’s order book. Action Mining Services experienced a 10% decrease in revenue for the 2013 ﬁ nancial year to $41.8 million, compared to the previous ﬁ nancial year ($46.6 million). The 2013 ﬁ nancial year provided NRW with its most challenging year since the Global Financial Crisis, as contract terminations and delayed award and commencement of projects resulted in a number of one off and other costs incurred across the Business. This included redundancy costs of $5.4 million and approximately $13 million of holding costs for personnel and plant. As of 30 June 2013, NRW employed a workforce (including direct, subcontractors and apprentices) of 2,283 people, down from our peak of 4,821 in August 2012, and a 50% reduction compared to the close of FY12 (4,592 people). We retain a diverse workforce with approximately 14% female personnel and 6.5% Indigenous personnel. During the year a number of cost control and productivity improvement initiatives were put in place to improve our overall cost effectiveness. This past year also reinforced the need to continue our strategy of diversiﬁ cation across client, commodity, location and service delivery, and how this will shape the way we do business in the future. 8 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: • Successful completion of ﬁ rst major oil and gas project at Wheatstone • Several project awards from key client Rio Tinto • Secured civil earthworks contract for new client, Roy Hill Holdings • Action Drill & Blast secure two major long term contracts ACTION DRILL & BLAST ACHIEVES 33% G R OW T H IN REVENUE “This past year reinforced the need to continue our strategy of diversiﬁ cation... This will shape the way we do business in the future” CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 9 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE NRW Holdings Limited slightly increased revenue by 1% to $1.374 billion (FY12: $1.358 billion), however net proﬁ t after tax declined to $74.1 million.

NRW’s net debt to equity levels moved to a slightly higher position of 25% compared to the 2012 ﬁ nancial year (18%). Net working capital increased due to a swing in tax instalments and increase in differences between accounting and tax policies. Furthermore the settling of certain current provisions and slowing down of debtor payments have impacted on working capital.

The ﬁ nal dividend payable is 5.0 cents per share and brings the full year dividend to 13.0 cents per share fully franked. CASH The cash position at the end of the ﬁ nancial year was $131.0 million compared to the prior corresponding period (FY12: $138.0 million). Cash from operations has been impacted by reduced margin, longer debtor days and tax instalment payment patterns. FUNDING Total secured funding is in excess of 626.3 million, of which $265.5 million is undrawn, comprising facilities for working capital, performance bonding and asset funding. The table below illustrates the current headroom of facilities for further growth and the acquisition of income producing capital. NRW has successfully negotiated substantial facilities to enable the Company to undertake projects with secured funding options.

This was achieved despite a general industry slowdown and signiﬁ cant delays in contract award and commencements impacting the second half. In the 2013 ﬁ nancial year, the Civil Division demonstrated its capability by managing up to 15 concurrent projects at a time. Of this, ﬁ ve concurrent projects were in excess of $200 million, and up to $450 million in value. This growth in capability was well managed and aligned with continued improvement in safety performance with the Division’s Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) reducing from 4.53 (FY12) to 2.47 through a concerted focus across all projects. In excess of 70% of civil projects recorded a TRIFR of zero for the 2013 ﬁ nancial year. The Division’s strategic objective of increasing the concrete component of the overall Civil revenue from 20% (FY12) was not achieved due to the limited concrete opportunities and higher level of competitors within the discipline relative to earthworks. However, the concrete component of the Civil Division still represents approximately 15% of Division revenue, enhancing the diversity of service provision across resources, public works and large scale infrastructure works. The Civil Division experienced continued success on existing projects with its Indigenous partners, Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi Foundation Limited (NYFL) and Eastern Guruma Pty Ltd. 14 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 OPERATIONS NRW was awarded a number of new major contracts and contract extensions during this period including: Signiﬁ cant Achievements throughout the year included: • Cape Lambert Port B 353Mtpa Project • Successful completion of ﬁ rst major Oil and Gas – Rio Tinto project on the Wheatstone Project • Western Turner Brockman Earthworks • Completion of ﬁ rst metropolitan Government (additional scope inclusive of Nanutarra Road Conveyor Tunnel) – Rio Tinto • Western Turner Syncline Concrete – Rio Tinto • Port Hedland Inner Harbour Project (additional scope) – BHP Billiton Iron Ore • West Angelas Access Road – Rio Tinto • • Yandi Sustaining Project Bulk Earthworks – Rio Tinto (original plus optional) Roy Hill mine site preliminary bulk earthworks – Roy Hill Holdings • Thomas Marshalling Yards – Fortescue Metals Group • • Monakoff Haul Road – Ernest Henry Mining Nammuldi Below Water Table Project – Rio Tinto infrastructure project – Great Eastern Highway Upgrade in alliance with Main Roads, Leighton Contractors and GHD • Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) in future major projects for blue chip clients • Industry leading staff retention rates and no civil staff redundancies despite industry downsizing • Safety performance – in excess of 70% of civil projects maintained a TRIFR of zero for the 2013 ﬁ nancial year • Launched new Graduate Engineer and Supervisor Development programs. OUTLOOK The Division is focused on the successful delivery of current projects including Rio Tinto’s Cape Lambert Port B Project, Yandi Sustaining Project bulk earthworks, West Angelas Access Road and the Nammuldi Below Water Table Project; as well as BHP Billiton Iron Ore’s Ore Car Repair Workshop and the Roy Hill Mine Site Bulk Earthworks for Roy Hill Holdings. Opportunities exist within NRW’s traditional and new iron ore client base in Western Australia, and with new clients in the Queensland coal infrastructure and LNG sectors. NRW will continue to pursue other civil opportunities outside of Construct only, including Design & Construct (D&C) and EPC, following the development of key partner relationships. Further to this, the Civil Division will also be exploring Maintenance style contracts as another source of diversiﬁ cation. The Civil Division currently has an order book of $388 million, with a further $2.41 billion in active tenders. CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 15 NRW MINING OVERVIEW The overall Mining Divisional revenue was $404.5 million in FY13, down 25% from the prior corresponding period (FY12: $542.2 million). Projects undertaken during the year included Western Turner Syncline for Rio Tinto, Christmas Creek and Solomon for Fortescue, Middlemount for Middlemount Coal and Simandou in Guinea for Rio Tinto. NRW’s mining operations were impacted by the commodity downturn and cost cutting by major clients throughout the year. Projects bid during the year were tendered in a competitive environment with increased competition due to surplus capacity of available resources in the market. From the end of the ﬁ rst quarter of the 2013 ﬁ nancial year, market conditions over future commodity prices led to the early termination of a number of NRW contracts which had a signiﬁ cant impact on the Mining Division and led to a reduction in personnel. Key contracts impacted were Solomon Hub and Christmas Creek which by the end of November 2012 had ceased operations. While disappointed at these developments, NRW moved swiftly to lower its variable cost base via the demobilisation of hired equipment and subcontract labour. NRW’s contract at Rio Tinto’s Simandou operations was terminated effective December 2012, after having been previously awarded a three year extension in November 2011. As a result, revenue at Simandou was $10 million less than expected, with 50% of total assets NRW employed on the Simandou project sold to the client. On the east coast of Australia at Middlemount Coal, NRW Mining incurred a loss ($10.38 million) in the ﬁ rst half of the 2013 ﬁ nancial year due to heavy rains in the ﬁ rst quarter of the 2013 ﬁ nancial year and operation challenges. This was compounded by a major ﬂ ood event at the Middlemount coal mine in January 2013 which affected production over several months and further impacted margins through underutilised plant and holdings costs for personnel. Towards the middle of the 2013 ﬁ nancial year contractual changes at Middlemount were made following a period of negotiation with the new owners. An agreement to restructure the Mining Services contract with Middlemount Coal into a dry hire contract was made. As the owners (Peabody Australia and Yancoal) are predominantly mine owner-operators this was a logical step for them to become the operator of the mine. As part of the new arrangement NRW now provides the mining ﬂ eet and associated ongoing maintenance services. As part of the renegotiation, the contract completion date has been extended by 12 months until June 2017. The Mining Division’s Indigenous employment and training programs continue to exceed expectations, with the NRW-Eastern Guruma Joint Venture at Western Turner Syncline reaching a peak Indigenous employment rate of 28% for on-site labour, equalling 55 Indigenous employees. 16 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 “NRW’s mining operations were impacted by the commodity downturn and cost cutting by major clients through the year” NRW’s mining joint venture relationships with Indigenous organisations - Eastern Guruma Pty Limited at Western Turner Syncline and Solomon; and Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi Foundation Limited (NYFL) at Solomon - continued to provide a positive outcome to the business. Contracts awarded and extensions during the period include: • Middlemount Coal – Dry Hire and Maintenance – Middlemount Coal JV • Christmas Creek Vasse Tailings Storage Facility – Fortescue • Bulk Earthworks Services Solomon Construction – Fortescue • Bootu Creek Equipment and Labour Hire – OM Holdings Safety performance across the Division was satisfactory during the 2013 ﬁ nancial year. An increased focus on lead indicators had a positive impact, although the Division performance when measured in relation to TRIFR deteriorated, with 2013 ﬁ nancial year TRIFR at 7.59 compared to the prior corresponding period (FY12: 5.82). OUTLOOK Market conditions will continue to be difﬁ cult during the remainder of calendar year 2013, however the Division’s strategy remains to diversify into other commodities and clients, with a number of opportunities identiﬁ ed. Geographical diversiﬁ cation will also take place as the Division pursues international opportunities with selected clients. The mining ﬂ eet in Western Australia has been underutilised during the second half. However with a rampup in current civil projects, many of the mining assets are directly transferable into these larger greenﬁ eld bulk earthworks projects. The Mining Division currently has an order book of $460 million, with a further $1.41 billion in submitted tenders. CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 17 OVERVIEW Action Drill & Blast experienced continued strong growth during the 2013 ﬁ nancial year with revenue of $150.5 million, representing a 33% increase on the 2012 ﬁ nancial year revenue of $113.1 million. Action Drill & Blast’s external client list for the 2013 ﬁ nancial year included Fortescue, Rio Tinto, John Holland, Talison Lithium, Brierty, Macmahon, Downer EDI, BMA and Peabody After three years of operations Action Drill & Blast has experienced signiﬁ cant success across Australia and is recognised as a provider of quality and professional drilling and blasting contract services. Particularly pleasing for the 2013 ﬁ nancial year was the award of a four year (plus two year option to extend) $140 million drilling services contract direct to Fortescue for operations at the Cloudbreak iron ore mine. The other signiﬁ cant contract awarded during the ﬁ nancial year was for blasting services at the Isaac Plains coal mine which was awarded as a three year contract with a two year option to extend. However, the second half performance for 2013 was not as strong as the ﬁ rst. The downturn experienced in the mining sector from the ﬁ rst half of the 2013 ﬁ nancial year, in conjunction with speciﬁ c events detailed below, reduced overall margin in the second half of the F2013 ﬁ nancial year: • The termination of contracts on Fortescue’s Solomon and Christmas Creek operations resulted in a large number of highly skilled personnel being displaced. Action Drill & Blast incurred holding costs for labour by retaining this experienced skill base and providing off-site work and training opportunities pending the anticipated award of the signiﬁ cantly sized Cloudbreak drilling contract. • Severe weather events throughout the Bowen Basin signiﬁ cantly affected production on coal operations over several months, including a major ﬂ ood event at the Middlemount coal mine in January 2013. • Start-up costs incurred in relation to mobilisation for Action Drill & Blast’s largest contract to date at Cloudbreak were incurred during the second half of the ﬁ nancial year, and included holding costs for assets not utilised until the commencement of the Cloudbreak contract in April. 18 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 OPERATIONS OUTLOOK At the end of the 2013 ﬁ nancial year Action Drill & Blast had six contracts in Western Australia and two in Queensland. The largest contract is at Fortescue’s Cloudbreak Project. The Business currently employs 275 people and utilises a ﬂ eet of 49 drills. External projects awarded during the 2013 ﬁ nancial year included: • Drilling Services at Cloudbreak Mine – Fortescue • Blasting Services at Isaac Plains Coal Mine – Isaac Plains Coal Management Pty Limited (originally contracted to John Holland Queensland Pty Limited and then novated to IPCM) • Drilling and Dewatering Services at Hail Creek Mine – Rio Tinto Coal • Blasting Labour at Christmas Creek Mine – Macmahon Holdings • Supplementary Drilling Services at Karara Iron Ore Project – Brierty Limited • 12 month extension at Greenbushes for Talison Lithium • Relief Hole Drilling at West Angelas Mine – Westforce Construction • Drilling Services at Daunia Coal Mine – Downer EDI Mining Pty Limited Signiﬁ cant Achievements • Award of two multi-year projects with options to extend, providing longer term tenure and order book stability • Strong growth in revenue of 33% for the year despite market downturn • Achieved LITFR of zero in March 2013. Action Drill & Blast began the ﬁ nancial year well from a safety performance point of view, with a TRIFR in July 2012 of 1.59 before experiencing some ﬂ uctuations during the year. In March 2013, Action Drill & Blast achieved a LTIFR of zero, with a TRIFR of 6.86, before declining safety performance led to a ﬁ nancial year end TRIFR result of 12.68. Despite this decrease in TRIFR, Action Drill & Blast ﬁ nished the 2013 ﬁ nancial year with a LTIFR of zero. Action Drill & Blast currently has an order book of $157 million, with a further $143 million in active tenders. The downturn in the mining sector will create challenges for all service contractors in the industry as client focus has shifted from being ‘volume’ driven to being ‘cost focused’. Action Drill & Blast has excellent systems, people and equipment which will enable it to assist clients achieve their need to become more cost efﬁ cient and improve their productivity. A concerted effort of improving safety performance will also be maintained and reinforced through the business at all levels. Financial performance is expected to return to more consistent levels during the 2013/2014 ﬁ nancial year as: • Displaced site personnel have returned to operational roles. • The Cloudbreak contract realised full potential in June allowing more effective recovery of the start- up costs. • Improved production on the Middlemount and Isaac Plains coal contracts. In addition to the above stabilisation of contracts Action Drill & Blast will also focus on improving performance through renegotiation of pricing with suppliers and optimisation of asset management and utilisation. Action Drill & Blast sees this next phase in the mining cycle as an opportunity to demonstrate its specialist skills and believe it is a great opportunity to continue to grow the business through increased market share and capitalisation of new prospects. The Mining unit’s drill ﬂ eet grew considerably in the last 12 months to accommodate the growing requirement from Action Drill & Blast clients to provide a large ﬂ eet of 60,000-75,000lb rotary drills. As the market moves from establishment of infrastructure to production mining a downturn in the Civil units’ projects is expected, however the specialist skills of this unit are easily transferable to other markets. In particular, we are looking to pursue opportunities on civil LNG projects in Eastern Australia and gold operations in Western Australia. Action Drill & Blast’s Coal unit has been recognised as an efﬁ cient and extremely capable provider of explosive services including supply, storage and, of course, blasting. Our drill ﬂ eet of large rotary drills is still the newest in the industry and provides signiﬁ cant performance and safety beneﬁ ts for our clients. Action Drill & Blast has increased its business development focus and are actively seeking opportunities in markets other than those currently operating in, such as gold, oil and gas, and Action Drill & Blast has also commenced a review of international prospects. CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 19 OVERVIEW Action Mining Services experienced a 10% decrease in revenue to $41.8 million for the 2013 ﬁ nancial year representing a 10% decrease on FY12 ($46.6 million). This was predominately due to the sector downturn in mining and civil projects at the end of the ﬁ rst quarter of FY13, and lower margins due to the subsequent slowing of demand for products and services. Major external clients include Dampier Salt, Jones Mining, Leighton Contractors, Komatsu, Alliance Contracting, Titan Plant Hire, and Onsite Hire. An overall restructure of the Business was undertaken to reduce overheads and improve efﬁ ciencies on the shop ﬂ oor. The restructure included the alignment of the manufacturing division (support vehicles) with the service divisions to increase capabilities and improve efﬁ ciencies. Key achievements in the 2013 ﬁ nancial year included: • The successful expansion of the AMS range of Support Vehicles with the release of the new, high tech, AMS 15,000lt ‘Viper Series’ Service Module and the AMS 12,000lt Service Module (the AMS 12,000 is an extension of the popular AMS 6,700lt Service Module). • The expansion of AMS’s capabilities with the set-up of a Field Service Division, a Component Overhaul Division and an Asset Refurbishment Division. • The successful expansion of the customer base to attract new work including the successful completion of the ﬁ rst salt spec machine (Caterpillar D10 Bulldozer) for Dampier Salt. • Continued ongoing support and commitment with a work placement program and apprenticeship training program – AMS currently employ 27 apprentices. • More than three years (1,095 days) Lost Time Injury (LTI) free in the workplace. 20 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 OUTLOOK As per previous years, the level of growth and opportunities within the services unit will be inﬂ uenced by the level of investment in the resources and infrastructure sectors. However the strategy by AMS to expand its service capabilities in calendar year 2013 places the Division in an excellent position to take advantage of the mining industry moving from a construction phase to an operations phase with an anticipated increase in demand for repair and maintenance services of operational equipment. Due to delays in project awards, we anticipate reduced demand in the 2014 ﬁ nancial year for support vehicles. However the introduction of a number of new strategies will see AMS targeting a broader customer base across a more diverse product and service range, resulting in an expected improved level of total revenue for the period. Improving efﬁ ciencies will be a key focus, to reduce production and material costs, allowing unit prices to be reduced whist retaining budgeted margins for price sensitive markets such as the hire market. Efforts will also be concentrated on developing innovative new safety features and inclusions on the AMS product range to establish AMS as the industry leader in manufacturing with a safety focus. AMS will continue to look for new products and services within its ﬁ eld to take advantage of the AMS skill base and group customer relationships. Increased resources will be placed on marketing the company’s capabilities to industry with the objective of increasing market share through an expanded client base, and to ensure AMS is in a position to take advantage of changing conditions. The introduction of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in the ﬁ rst half of the 2014 ﬁ nancial year will improve management, recording and reporting efﬁ ciencies resulting in a further reduction in overheads and operating costs. The system will assist to maximise resource utilisation and improve the quality of service provided to customers. AMS will continue to focus on developing apprentices through its unique Apprentice Program in which apprentices are rotated through various NRW Civil and Mining sites to gain practical site experience after completing the ﬁ rst two years at Action Mining Services. CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 21 HUMAN RESOURCES OVERVIEW As a result of the market uncertainty and volatile conditions experienced at the end of the ﬁ rst quarter of the 2013 ﬁ nancial year, NRW Holdings Limited’s workforce decreased by 50% to 2,283 personnel this ﬁ nancial year (FY12: 4,592). This followed a peak in August 2012 at 4,821 people. Current employment levels are currently closer to 2011 ﬁ nancial year levels. The workforce includes direct employees, sub-contractors and apprentices. NRW remains committed to ensuring it retains its core staff to maximise its capacity to secure and execute future work. A number of training initiatives have been introduced to equip existing employees with the necessary skills and expertise to deliver the high standard of service clients have become accustomed to receiving from NRW and its subsidiary companies. In the 2013 ﬁ nancial year NRW continued its close relationship with its workforce and there were zero disputes and no lost time due to industrial action. The workforce remains diverse with 14% female personnel (FY12: 15.7%), and 6.5% Indigenous personnel (FY12: 8.2%). 22 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 GRADUATE PROGRAM Our engineering graduates undertake a three year NRW Graduate Program, which aims to develop them into future leaders of our industry. Through diverse training and development, NRW graduates are exposed to various projects, clients, markets, commodities and infrastructures. NRW’s Graduate Program comprises an orientation week that involves: induction sessions with every department, two days at Neerabup outside of Perth on machinery; a team building day with other graduates including those in different stages of the Program; and a networking dinner with senior management. Importantly, each graduate is assigned a senior mentor and offered a structured pathway to chartership through Engineers Australia. CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 23 INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT The NRW-NYFL Joint Venture undertook signiﬁ cant works on Rio Tinto’s Cape Lambert Port B Project including the following contracts and variations: • Cape Lambert Car Dumpers & Stockyards Bulk Earthworks – Car dumpers 6 and 7 and Phase B stockyards • Tail track and tail track extensions • Sam’s Creek Pipe jacking • Crushing contract • A fencing contract and various small works packages. OVERVIEW NRW recognises that its long-term success depends on the well-being and sustainable development of the communities in which it operates, comprising local communities as well as the traditional owners of the land. We respect the importance of Indigenous Australian culture and value its diversity. We have successfully employed and supported Indigenous people within our Civil and Mining operations since the forming of the Company in 1994, and this continued with the acquisition of Action Mining Services in 2007, and the forming of Action Drill & Blast in 2010. Increasing Indigenous representation in employment on our projects and within our organisations’ is an integral part of the NRW philosophy. 48 Cultural Awareness workshops were conducted during the 2013 ﬁ nancial year for 528 participants. JOINT VENTURES Besides Indigenous employment targets and the successful Powerup Program, NRW also joint venture with a number of Indigenous organisations to provide sustainable business opportunities to these groups and the communities they represent. The NRW-Eastern Guruma Joint Venture has undertaken or been awarded the following contracts in the 2013 ﬁ nancial year: • Western Turner Syncline Mining – Rio Tinto • Western Turner Syncline Civil / Concrete Works – Rio Tinto • Western Turner Brockman – Rio Tinto • Boolgeeda Aerodrome – Rio Tinto • Nammuldi Below Water Table Bulk Earthworks – Rio Tinto 24 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 POWERUP Powerup is NRW’s intensive three week pre-employment work ready program, run in conjunction with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, and continues to attract strong support from the Indigenous community. Powerup provides opportunities for Indigenous candidates lacking entry level skills to break into the civil and mining industry. Involving RII20209 Certiﬁ cate II: Surface Extraction Operations, Powerup exposes participants to a simulator and hands-on activities in a controlled ‘real life mining pit’ in haul truck and roller operations. During the innovative three week program, trainees are mentored by experienced professional trainers and human resources staff - consisting of 40 hours of classroom activities in Canning Vale, 80 hours at Neerabup quarry north of Perth. This year NRW held two Powerup programs, a decrease compared to previous years due to the reduced employment opportunities for graduates. It continues to be well subscribed amongst potential applicants, and well regarded by clients and industry alike. CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 25 HEALTH SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT HEALTH & SAFETY NRW is committed to achieving the highest possible performance in occupational health and safety across all business operations. NRW’s Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management Systems are accredited to AS4801:2001, the applicable Australian Standard and subject to continuous audit — NRW was re-certiﬁ ed in January 2012. The Company manages risk through hazard identiﬁ cation, minimisation, monitoring and control procedures, and by reviewing safety performance. NRW ensures that all employees, including subcontractor employees, are fully HSE inducted, trained and assessed in the tasks each will be required to perform, plus deemed competent via a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) process in the operation of plant and equipment. In early 2012, NRW rolled out and launched a revitalised company wide safety culture program, ‘A safe day, every day’. The Program contains elements of reward and recognition to reinforce the efforts of employees, as well as to raise awareness of safety issues across all sites. It also increases the key performance indicators used to measure and record progress of projects, making the individual projects more accountable. The 2013 ﬁ nancial year has seen signiﬁ cant re-structuring of the HSE department within NRW and the new structure will provide stronger support for projects, whilst enabling NRW to improve outcomes as it continues to grow. During the year we continued to focus on the area of hazard identiﬁ cation and hazard removal from work processes, coupled with a renewed focus on documentation at hand for our employees. One such implementation of this focus was the creation, development and launch of a pocket booklet titled ‘My HSE Kit’ which contains all the required mini-forms employees need to complete as part of their duties. The success of the overarching Program has been reﬂ ected in the consistent safety performance which is reﬂ ected in the improved Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) currently at 0.55, which represents a 18% improvement from the previous year (FY12: 0.67). A relatively ﬂ at line for the Group in Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rates (TRIFR) was experienced, and is currently at 5.47, slightly down on the prior corresponding period (FY12: 5.2). 26 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 ENVIRONMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE NRW maintained certiﬁ cation to ISO standard 9001: 2008 and AS/NZS 4801 (achieved in May 2009) for its Quality Management System. NRW was re-certiﬁ ed in January 2012.

This certiﬁ cation reinforces NRW’s commitment to maintaining strict environmental protocols on all projects undertaken. This certiﬁ cation is subject to continuing audit by external agencies and NRW was re-certiﬁ ed in January 2012. CASE STUDY: Support for the Environment The Pilbara Wildlife Carers Association (PWCA) was the recipient of a $20,000 donation from the NRW-NYFL Joint Venture crew at Rio Tinto’s Cape Lambert Port B Project. PWCA provides a vital emergency service to the Pilbara community by responding to calls regarding sick, injured or orphaned wildlife. Many calls are received from mining and construction companies who have impacted fauna whilst undertaking their work. The extensive network of registered volunteer wildlife carers in the Pilbara foster and rehabilitate sick and injured wildlife, until they’re able to be released back into the environment. NRW’s donation will signiﬁ cantly assist with PWCA’s on-going service to the Pilbara community. CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 27 COMPANY OUTLOOK Despite the signiﬁ cant downturn across the resources industry, NRW retains a positive outlook over the short to medium term with a steady pipeline of tenders and a clear strategy to further diversify our client base and client offering. The Company will continue to maintain focus on its core domestic markets of iron ore and coal with expansions and related infrastructure works still underway and a number of new projects in the planning stage. We are also working on growing our exposure to markets such as LNG and CSG. With current work in hand of $1 billion and tender activity still strong with over $3.96 billion in active tenders across the Business, we remain conﬁ dent of securing work across all our Division’s to further strengthen our order book. The Group’s balance sheet, funding facilities and solid cash position provide a strong foundation for future organic growth and potential acquisitions. The Group will continue to assess acquisition opportunities both domestically and internationally to add value to NRW’s service delivery model. We will also continue to focus on cost management programs, efficiencies and continuous improvement processes. These practises will contribute to NRW’s overall cost effectiveness in project delivery and assist in maintaining our market competitiveness. NRW expects revenue between $1-1.2 billion for the 2014 financial year, of which approximately 60% is currently secured. This is subject to timely award and commencement of new projects. 28 CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 “With current work in hand of $1 billion and tender activity still strong with over $3.96 billion in active tenders, we remain conﬁ dent of securing work across all our divisions to further strengthen our order book” CEO: Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 29 CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FINANCIAL YEAR IN REVIEW FY13 REVIEW The Group increased revenue predominantly from the contribution of the Civil and Drill and blast Divisions. The Group’s earnings and returns on capital employed decreased due to the Mining Divisions performance as a result of economic conditions and commodity price pressures. Gearing ratios remained conservative and a strong cash balance has been maintained. INVESTMENT RETURNS Earnings per share were 26.6 cents which was a 24% decrease compared to prior corresponding period. The dividend payout ratio as a percentage of NPAT in FY13 is 49% compared to 52% (FY12).

The Miscellaneous category of expenditure relates to investment in information infrastructure and system upgrades ($10.5 million), land and buildings ($1.1 million) and other ($0.4 million). CASH FLOW NRW’s operating cash ﬂ ow in FY13 was $118.0 million. The decrease in operating cash was a result of reduced operating margins and a slightly slower collection cycle. Tax instalment payments were remitted under the prior year withholding rates which also dragged operating cash down. The decrease in EBITDA and lower returns of average capital employed has resulted in Group cash reserves being less than previous years, with $131.0 million at 30 June 2013 (FY12: $138.0 million). CFO: Financial Year in Review NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 31 CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 BALANCE SHEET AND FUNDING The Group Balance Sheet reﬂ ects the continued conservative management of debt levels and cash. Due to the strength of the balance sheet, the Company has sufﬁ cient ﬂ exibility for future project funding and/or acquisitions. The Structured Debt Facility (ANZ lead arranger), was successfully reviewed and maintained during the FY13 year. Other funders included insurance providers as required, operating lease providers and asset ﬁ nanciers outside the clubbing arrangement.

This report explains the remuneration programme that NRW has applied over the last 12 months. These programmes ensure NRW can maintain and extend our competitive position through retaining its key executives and attracting best-in-market executives to our Company. We have developed these programmes to ensure a strong link between executive key management personnel (Executive KMP) incentives and three core components of shareholder value – NRW maintaining its competitive position and strength, growth in earnings and ensuring that capital utilised to grow earnings achieves an attractive Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). For the 2013 year, key remuneration outcomes can be summarised as follows: (cid:135) Fixed remuneration for Executive KMP was reviewed and it was determined that no changes would be made, however the level of fixed remuneration will be reviewed at the interim result. (cid:135) Performance based remuneration was significantly diminished in light of outcomes relating to key measures including Earnings Per Share Growth and relative Total Shareholder Return. The number of Long Term Incentive (LTI) awards and Short Term Incentive (STI) awards granted has been reduced in respect of NRW’s performance in FY13. (cid:135) The Non-Executive Director fee pool is unchanged following the increase at the 2012 AGM. Further detail regarding the components and outcomes of NRW’s remuneration programme are set out in the Remuneration Report. NRW is committed to ensuring the remuneration programme we have in place supports our growth profile and business strategy, takes into account the characteristics and conditions of the markets we work in and takes into account the views of our shareholders.

REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE NRW has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee (N&RC) consisting of Michael Arnett, Ian Burston and John Cooper, being all of NRW’s independent Non-Executive Directors. The N&RC is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on the remuneration arrangements for Non-Executive Directors and Executive KMP as set out in the N&RC Charter. The N&RC provides advice, recommendation and assistance to the Board with respect to: • The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, including the Chair of the Board; • The remuneration policies which are designed to attract and retain Executives with the expertise to enhance the competitive advantage, performance and growth of NRW; • Ensuring that the level and composition of Executive remuneration packages are fair, reasonable and adequate, and display a clear relationship between the performance of the individual and performance of NRW; • Termination and redundancy policies and the payments made to outgoing Executives; • Disclosures to be included in the corporate governance section of NRW’s annual report which relate to NRW’s remuneration policies and procedures. The N&RC is mandated to engage external and independent remuneration advisors who do not have a relationship with or advise NRW management. During the reporting period the N&RC did not engage any such advisors. However during this period the N&RC took an active role in meeting and liaising with some of Financial Report NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 51 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 NRW’s shareholders as well as shareholder proxy groups to discuss directly their views in respect of market remuneration practices, NRW’s remuneration programme and how the market practices can be best applied to NRW’s remuneration programme. The N&RC met twice during the reporting period. 2.

EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS 3.1 EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION STRATEGY & MIX NRW’s executive remuneration programme has the following over-arching principles: • Set remuneration policy and positioning to maintain and extend NRW’s competitive advantage and positioning: NRW believes that its ﬁ xed and at-risk remuneration must be in the top quartile of competitive benchmarking in order to attract and retain best-in-market individuals as its Executive KMP. The Board believes that this approach is also required given the relatively small pool of experienced executive talent that exists in the industry and markets in which NRW competes. NRW’s view is that this positioning is fundamental to maintaining NRW’s competitiveness, ﬁ nancial performance leadership relative to peers and leadership in customer satisfaction with projects that NRW delivers. • Adapt market practice, benchmark to direct competitors, relate to the risk and competitive environment: The industry and markets that NRW competes in have signiﬁ cantly different operating risks and a signiﬁ cantly smaller pool of experienced talent compared to companies with a market capitalisation similar to NRW’s market capitalisation (+/- 50%). Accordingly whilst NRW’s remuneration programme takes account of relevant market practices, benchmarking of individual positions are weighted heavily to directly comparable companies and competitors, as opposed to the data of similar sized companies. Remuneration policies in general are overlaid with and take account of the risks in and competitive nature of NRW’s operating environment. • Ensure at-risk remuneration is set against demanding levels that themselves are balanced to the long term stability of the Company: NRW’s approach to at-risk remuneration for both STI and LTI awards is that achievement of budgeted levels of performance result in only modest incentive awards and that demanding levels of performance are required to deliver what would be a top-quartile remuneration outcome for a 52 Financial Report NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 given KMP member. Whilst the demanding levels of performance are predominantly quantitative / ﬁ nancial in nature, the targets take into account the quality of ﬁ nancial outcomes. That is, they are structured to ensure that executives pursue growth in a way that does not compromise the value of NRW in the medium to long term. For example, NRW pays attention to ROCE metrics to ensure that EPS Growth is pursued with a keen eye to minimising the amount of capital that must be utilised to generate EPS Growth. • Proportions of ﬁ xed and variable remuneration should weight toward variable as performance levels increase: Maximum award levels are structured to ensure that at the maximum level of remuneration there is a signiﬁ cant weighting to variable (STI and LTI) components of remuneration. This weighting is increased the more senior the role and the higher the level of responsibility that the individual has for earnings, personnel and strategy. The relative mix of STI to LTI is also considered in the context of the nature and level of responsibility of the individual’s role, the desire of the Company to have its Executive KMP owning NRW shares and also succession planning requirements. 3.2 STRUCTURE OF EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION The NRW remuneration programme and consequently the remuneration components for each Executive KMP member comprise: • Fixed remuneration: comprising salary, beneﬁ ts that the individual elects, superannuation and applicable taxes. Fixed remuneration is set with reference to role, market and relevant experience, which is reviewed annually and upon promotion. In determining the appropriate remuneration quantum, the N&RC reviews information from databases to which NRW subscribes: Aon Hewitt McDonald Australia, CRA Plan Advisors, available market data for direct competitors, companies of a similar size to NRW (based on market capitalisation) and similar industry (i.e. Capital Goods, Energy and Materials, Metals and Mining, Oil, Gas and Consumable Fuels industry group companies). This comparator group is deemed to be appropriate as it represents the companies from whom talent is likely to be recruited, and to whom talent may be lost, and therefore competitive remuneration against these groups is assessed in setting ﬁ xed remuneration levels for NRW’s key management personnel. • Short term incentive (STI): determination of an STI award is made against annual performance criteria established at the beginning of each ﬁ nancial year. STI awards are typically payable in cash. At the election of the N&RC, the after tax amount of a portion of an STI award might in some circumstances be paid in ordinary NRW shares. This may occur, for example, where an individual has achieved a high nominal STI award, or where the balance of an overall award (inclusive of ﬁ xed remuneration, STI and LTI) is overweight in STI. Any portion of an STI can be deferred by the N&RC in its discretion with or without conditions extending beyond continued employment. Performance thresholds relating to STI awards are discussed further in Section 4 (page 58) • Long term incentive (LTI): An award of LTI is granted via Performance Rights under the NRW Performance Rights Plan. Any Performance Rights granted are subject to Vesting Conditions and vesting periods – these are discussed further below in Section 4. The 2012 ﬁ nancial year award was intended as a transitionary award that provided for vesting in three tranches over three successive years. From the 2013 ﬁ nancial year onwards the LTI award vests over a three-year performance period in one tranche. Executive KMP are not eligible to participate in dividends during the vesting period. Determination of an LTI award quantum is made against the same annual performance criteria that apply to STI awards – these are discussed further in Section 4. An LTI award quantum is then converted into a number of Performance Rights determined by dividing the quantum of the LTI award by the 60-day VWAP of the NRW share price as of the day that NRW announced its prior ﬁ nancial year full-year result. For example, to determine the number of awards for the 2013 ﬁ nancial year LTI, the LTI quantum will be divided by the 60-day VWAP of the NRW share price on the day on which NRW announced its FY12 result to the ASX (i.e. on 24 August 2012 using VWAP of $2.9605), Performance Rights granted are then subjected to Vesting Conditions that are tested on the applicable vesting date. Financial Report NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 53 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 As noted above STI and LTI awards are determined with reference to achievement against annual performance criteria and are based on a percentage of ﬁ xed remuneration. 3.3 AWARD LEVELS RELATIVE TO FIXED REMUNERATION The following table sets out the range of award that Executive KMP were eligible for in FY13 under the STI and LTI components of NRW’s remuneration structure: STI Award as % Fixed Remuneration LTI Award as % Fixed Remuneration Maximum Award at Target level of Performance Maximum Award at Demanding level of Performance Maximum Award at Target level of Performance Maximum Award at Demanding level of Performance Chief Executive Offi cer Managing Director – NRW Civil & Mining Divisional General Managers, CFO 20% 20% 20% 55% 70% 70% 50% 30% 10% 150% 80% 60% Any determination of an award following the completion of a ﬁ nancial year is based on: 1. The performance of an individual according to annual performance criteria set by the N&RC before the end of the ﬁ rst quarter of a ﬁ nancial year and measured against NRW’s audited results for that ﬁ nancial year (where available); 2. Recommendations made to the N&RC by the CEO in respect of Executive KMP reporting to the CEO; 3. The N&RC’s consideration and recommendation to the Board of NRW; 4. The Board of NRW exercising its discretion in respect of STI and LTI awards within the boundaries of the maximum payment levels and the terms and conditions of the NRW Performance Rights Plan. 3.4 DETAILS OF INCENTIVE PLANS STI and LTI Awards Annual STI and LTI awards are determined against the same performance criteria. There is no automatic eligibility for the LTI. The initial performance criteria sets the quantum of the LTI award, which is then further subject to certain performance conditions (EPS growth, ROCE and relative TSR). The speciﬁ cs and detail of the criteria are set by the N&RC before the end of the ﬁ rst quarter in each ﬁ nancial year and are shaped for each Executive KMP member according to their speciﬁ c role and responsibilities. The criteria comprise the following types of measures and indicative weightings: • Financial measures – 80% weighting: Within this limb of the criteria targets are set at group and business unit levels. Typically, for a divisional General Manager, the Group target will be weighted as to 20-30%, and the business unit targets will be weighted as to 50-60%. The annual criteria will be set according to the overall Group targets and strategy, business unit targets and strategy and speciﬁ c areas within each division that the Group executive determine require focus in that year. The criteria are revenue, contribution margin, net proﬁ t after tax (Group), asset utilisation, cost ratios, order book quantum and tenure and capital expenditure management. • Safety measures – 10% weighting: Safety targets, and in particular NRW’s Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) are set according to NRW’s Group safety targets, which in turn play a key part in NRW’s ability to maintain and secure demand for NRW’s services. • Personal measures – 10% weighting: Personal criteria relate to targets that are speciﬁ c to an individual’s non-ﬁ nancial performance, career development and leadership qualities. Whilst these targets are personal to the individual, they may include such measures focusing on areas required for leadership development, 54 Financial Report NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 staff turnover, succession planning requirements, strategic planning goals and outcomes. 3.5 LTI VESTING CONDITIONS NRW has two LTI awards in place, being awards granted in FY12 and awards granted in the current reporting period (FY13). The vesting criteria applicable to both LTI awards and the subsequent granting of Performance Rights under the NRW Performance Rights Plan are as follows: • EPS Growth – 40% weighting: EPS is a primary determinant of shareholder value in a listed company context. As such NRW views EPS Growth as an important metric for NRW KMP to focus on. EPS Growth is measured over the period that the vesting applies to. For example, an LTI award made in respect of FY13 will be measured as to growth in NRW’s EPS at the beginning of FY13 (end of FY12) to NRW’s EPS at the end of FY15. • ROCE – 30% weighting: As NRW’s business necessarily involves capital expenditures, in order to balance EPS Growth, NRW has adopted a ROCE measure to ensure that EPS and EPS Growth are being pursued with a keen eye on the amount of capital employed in generating net proﬁ t after tax and thereby EPS. ROCE is determined according to the following formula: Earnings before interest tax and abnormals / (Average Net Assets – Average Cash + Average Debt – Average Intangibles) • Relative TSR – 30% weighting: NRW benchmarks its Total Shareholder Return (TSR) to ten direct competitors. Where insufﬁ cient competitors are listed on the ASX, NRW will assess companies that have similar degrees of complexity, personnel management, risk, revenue and turnover to NRW. The companies that NRW measures its Relative TSR against in respect of the FY12 LTI Award are; Ausenco Limited, Clough Limited, Macmahon Holdings Limited, Ausdrill Limited, Downer EDI Limited, Sedgman Limited, Decmil Group Limited, Brierty Limited, Maca Limited and Watpac Limited (FY12 Comparator Group). For FY13 NRW has used a comparator group that is the same as the FY12 Comparator Group except that Brierty Limited and Watpac Limited have been removed. The size and comparative strength of these companies warranted their removal and substitution by Bradken Limited and Transpaciﬁ c Industries Limited, which the Board felt better represented comparator companies, given their market capitalisation, service delivery, capital goods utilisation and employee numbers. The following table sets out the vesting period cut-in and scaling of each of the vesting hurdles for the FY12 and FY13 awards: FY12 LTI Award FY13 LTI Award LTI Vesting Condition, Weighting EPS Growth, Weighting 40% ROCE, Weighting 30% Cut-in level 0% vesting at 4% EPS growth between last vesting date and current vesting date 0% vesting at 17% ROCE for most recently completed ﬁ nancial year date Relative TSR, Weighting 30% A TSR ranking 6th position or worse will result in 0% vesting, Maximum vesting achieved at 100% of the EPS Growth limb vesting at 10% EPS growth between last vesting date and current vesting date 100% of the ROCE limb vesting at 25% ROCE for most recently completed ﬁ nancial year date A TSR ranking 3rd position or better = 100% of the Relative TSR limb vests, Cut-in level 0% vesting at 4% EPS growth between last vesting date and current vesting date 0% vesting at less than 19.99% ROCE for most recently completed ﬁ nancial year date A TSR ranking 6th position or worse will result in 0% vesting, Maximum vesting achieved at 100% of the EPS Growth limb vesting at 12% EPS growth 100% of the ROCE limb vesting at 30% ROCE A TSR ranking 3rd position or better = 100% of the Relative TSR limb vests, Financial Report NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 55 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 NRW has selected the three Vesting Conditions discussed above on the following basis: • EPS Growth is a fundamental measure of growth in shareholder value; • However, to ensure that EPS growth is pursued with a focus on the amount of capital required to generate EPS or NPAT, Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is measured to ensure that the growth in EPS is achieved at or above NRW’s targeted levels of ROCE; • Relative Total Shareholder Return, whilst in NRW’s view is something that is inﬂ uenced by the investing methodologies of investors that invest in shares of companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as opposed to the performance of NRW and its executives per se, NRW believes that it is important for the performance of its management to be measured against the total shareholder return that is achieved by direct competitor and peer companies that face a similar operating environment, opportunities and risks as NRW. considers it appropriate in the circumstances to consider the vesting of any unvested shares, the Board may determine that the Performance Rights will not lapse and will be tested against the Vesting Conditions on the applicable vesting dates. Upon change of control occurring in respect of NRW, the number of Performance Rights that can vest will be reduced to reﬂ ect the period of time elapsed. For example if a takeover of NRW becomes unconditional two years after a grant of Performance Rights was made and that award was eligible for vesting at the third anniversary of it being granted, then two-thirds of the Performance Rights that were eligible to vest under that grant would be assessed against the Vesting Conditions up to the date of the takeover becoming effective. The Performance Rights which do not meet the Vesting Conditions at that point will lapse and expire. 3.8 EXECUTIVE SERVICE AGREEMENTS The Executive Service Agreements in place in respect of NRW’s KMP can be summarised as follows: • Are not ﬁ xed term agreements and continue on 3.6 LTI VESTING PERIOD an ongoing basis until terminated; • Contain non-compete provisions restraining the executives from operating or being associated with an entity that competes with the business of NRW in Western Australia for 12 months after termination; • Provide for remuneration to be reviewed annually by NRW; All Executive KMP as listed in the remuneration table, are employed on standard letters of appointment that provide for annual reviews of base salary and between four and 12 weeks notice of termination by either party. The appointments are not for any ﬁ xed term and carry no termination payments other than statutory entitlements. Remuneration for all KMP listed is determined by the N&RC under the guidelines contained in this remuneration report. Performance Rights granted under the FY12 LTI award are eligible to vest in three tranches as follows: • 34% on 15 September 2012, • 33% on 15 September 2013, and • 33% on 15 September 2014, subject to the performance of and testing against the Vesting Conditions. The Performance Rights granted under the FY13 LTI awards will be eligible to vest in a single tranche on 15 September 2015, subject to the performance of and testing against the Vesting Conditions. Any Performance Rights that are eligible to vest on a vesting date that do not meet the Vesting Conditions, lapse on that date and thereby are not eligible to vest at any subsequent date. 3.7 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO LTI AWARDS & PERFORMANCE RIGHTS If a KMP’s employment with NRW ceases for reasons other than death or permanent disability, any unvested Performance Rights will lapse and expire.

Valuation assumptions The following tables summarise the key assumptions adopted for valuation of the awards. For all awards, the volatility assumption is representative of the level of uncertainty expected in the movements of the company’s share price over the life of the award. The assessment of volatility includes the historic volatility of the market price of the company’s share and the mean reversion tendency of volatilities. The expected volatility of each company in the peer group is determined based on the historic volatility of the companies’ share prices. In making this assumption, two years of historic volatility was used where available.

Financial Report NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 73 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION NRW Holdings Limited (the ‘Company’) is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered ofﬁ ce is 181 Great Eastern Highway, Belmont, Western Australia. The consolidated ﬁ nancial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as ‘Consolidated’, the ‘Consolidated Group’ or the ‘Group’). The Group is primarily involved in civil and mining contracting, the fabrication of, and repairs to, plant and drilling and blasting activities. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the ﬁ nancial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The ﬁ nancial statements are general purpose ﬁ nancial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations. The ﬁ nancial statements comprise the consolidated ﬁ nancial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated ﬁ nancial statements, the Company is a for-proﬁ t entity. Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the ﬁ nancial statements and notes of the company and the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). The consolidated ﬁ nancial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These ﬁ nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 21 August 2013. The consolidated ﬁ nancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain non-current assets and ﬁ nancial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below where applicable. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the ﬁ nancial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. 2.3 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated ﬁ nancial statements incorporate the ﬁ nancial statements of the Company and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the ﬁ nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain beneﬁ ts from its activities. Income and expense of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non- controlling interests even if this results in the non- controlling interests having a deﬁ cit balance. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the ﬁ nancial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reﬂ ect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received 74 Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in proﬁ t or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, it is accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the relevant assets (ie. reclassiﬁ ed to proﬁ t or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as speciﬁ ed by applicable Standards). 2.4 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in proﬁ t or loss as incurred. At the acquisition date, the identiﬁ able assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that: • deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee beneﬁ t arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ and AASB 119 ‘Employee Beneﬁ ts’ respectively; • liabilities or equity instruments related to share- based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with AASB 2 ‘Share- based Payment’ at the acquisition date; and • assets (or disposal groups) that are classiﬁ ed as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ are measured in accordance with that Standard. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition- date amounts of the identiﬁ able assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identiﬁ able assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in proﬁ t or loss as a bargain purchase gain. Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identiﬁ able net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis speciﬁ ed in another Standard. Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classiﬁ ed. Contingent consideration that is classiﬁ ed as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classiﬁ ed as an asset or liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 75 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 AASB 139, or AASB 137 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in proﬁ t or loss. for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the proﬁ t or loss on disposal. Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in proﬁ t or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassiﬁ ed to proﬁ t or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reﬂ ect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. 2.5 GOODWILL Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of the acquisition of the business (see note 2.4) less accumulated impairment losses, if any. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to beneﬁ t from the synergies of the combination. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated ﬁ rst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in proﬁ t or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income/ income statement. An impairment loss recognised 2.6 INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURES A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control (i.e. when the strategic ﬁ nancial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control). When a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint venture arrangements directly, the Group’s share of jointly controlled assets and any liabilities incurred jointly with other venturers are recognised in the ﬁ nancial statements of the relevant entity and classiﬁ ed according to their nature. Liabilities and expenses incurred directly in respect of interests in jointly controlled assets are accounted for on an accrual basis. Income from the sale or use of the Group’s share of the output of jointly controlled assets, and its share of joint venture expenses, are recognised when it is probable that the economic beneﬁ ts associated with the transactions will ﬂ ow to/from the Group and their amount can be measured reliably. The Group’s interests in assets where the Group does not have joint control are accounted for in accordance with the substance of the Group’s interest. Where such arrangements give rise to an undivided interest in the individual assets and liabilities of the joint venture, the Group recognises its undivided interest in each asset and liability and classiﬁ es and presents those items according to their nature. The Group reports its interests in jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. The Group’s share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of jointly controlled entities is combined with the equivalent items in the consolidated ﬁ nancial statements on a line-by-line basis. When a Group entity transacts with a jointly controlled entity of the Group, unrealised proﬁ ts and losses resulting from the transactions with the jointly controlled entity are recognised in the Group’s consolidated ﬁ nancial statements only to the extent of interests in the jointly controlled entity that are not related to the Group. 76 Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 2.7 REVENUE RECOGNITION 2.8 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances if applicable. 2.7.1 Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisﬁ ed: • the Group has transferred to the buyer the signiﬁ cant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. it is probable that the economic beneﬁ ts associated with the transaction will ﬂ ow to the Group; and When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. • • • • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. 2.7.2 Rendering of services Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised in proﬁ t or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. 2.7.3 Interest income Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal amount outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the ﬁ nancial asset of that asset’s net carrying amount. The Group’s policy for recognition of revenue from construction contracts is described at 2.8 below. When contract costs incurred to date plus recognised proﬁ ts less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as amounts due from customers for contract work or construction work in progress. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised proﬁ ts less recognised losses, the surplus is shown as the amounts due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the consolidated statement of ﬁ nancial position, as a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the consolidated statement of ﬁ nancial position under trade and other receivables. 2.9 LEASES Leases are classiﬁ ed as ﬁ nance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classiﬁ ed as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessee, assets held under ﬁ nance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 77 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of ﬁ nancial position as a ﬁ nance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between ﬁ nance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in proﬁ t or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic beneﬁ ts from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. 2.10 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 2.10.1 Functional and presentation currency The individual ﬁ nancial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated ﬁ nancial statements, the results and ﬁ nancial position of each group entity are expressed in Australian dollars (‘$’), which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated ﬁ nancial statements. 2.10.2 Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in proﬁ t or loss, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash ﬂ ow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. 2.10.3 Foreign operations For the purpose of presenting consolidated ﬁ nancial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates ﬂ uctuated signiﬁ cantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate). On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the Group are reclassiﬁ ed to proﬁ t or loss. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in equity. 2.11 BORROWING COSTS Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in proﬁ t or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 2.12 GOVERNMENT GRANTS Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already 78 Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate ﬁ nancial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in proﬁ t or loss in the period in which they become receivable. Government assistance which does not have conditions attached speciﬁ cally relating to the operating activities of the entity is recognised in accordance with the accounting policies above. 2.13 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS A liability is recognised for beneﬁ ts accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee beneﬁ ts, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee beneﬁ ts are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outﬂ ows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Payments to deﬁ ned contribution retirement beneﬁ t plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. 2.14 TAXATION Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 2.14.1 Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable proﬁ t for the year. Taxable proﬁ t differs from proﬁ t as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. 2.14.2 Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated ﬁ nancial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable proﬁ t. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable proﬁ ts will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable proﬁ t nor the accounting proﬁ t. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufﬁ cient taxable proﬁ ts against which to utilise the beneﬁ ts of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufﬁ cient taxable proﬁ ts will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reﬂ ects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 79 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 2.14.3 Current and deferred tax for the year Current and deferred tax are recognised in proﬁ t or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. 2.15 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. All property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, is depreciated or amortised at rates appropriate to the estimated useful life of the assets or in the case of certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term or hours (usage) reﬂ ecting the effective lives. The expected useful lives bands are as follows: Buildings Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Offi ce Equipment Furniture and Fittings Motor Vehicles 20 to 40 years 2 to 5 years 2 to 20 years 2 to 8 years 5 to 20 years 5 to 10 years The above bands provide a range of effective lives regardless of methodology used in the depreciation process (either hours, diminishing or straight line). The hours method is a consumption based method and reﬂ ects utilisation within the business and is supported in the effective lives of each plant and equipment group, where applicable. Depreciation rates and methods shall be reviewed at least annually. Where depreciation rates or methods are changed, the net written down value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the change in accordance with the new depreciation rate or method. Depreciation recognised in prior ﬁ nancial years shall not be changed, that is, the change in depreciation rate or method shall be accounted for on a ‘prospective’ basis. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic beneﬁ ts are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in proﬁ t or loss. 2.16 INTANGIBLE ASSETS 2.16.1 Intangible assets acquired separately Intangible assets with finite lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 2.16.2 Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated: • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; 80 Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic beneﬁ ts; cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identiﬁ ed. the availability of adequate technical, ﬁ nancial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and Intangible assets with indeﬁ nite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. • • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. The amount initially recognised for internally- generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset ﬁ rst meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in proﬁ t or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. 2.16.3 Derecognition of intangible assets An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic beneﬁ ts are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognised in proﬁ t or loss when the asset is derecognised. 2.17 IMPAIRMENT OF TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identiﬁ ed, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash ﬂ ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reﬂ ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks speciﬁ c to the asset for which the estimates of future cash ﬂ ows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in proﬁ t or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease (see 2.15 above). 2.18 INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a ﬁ rst-in-ﬁ rst-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. 2.19 PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash ﬂ ows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash ﬂ ows (where the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic beneﬁ ts required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 81 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. 2.19.1 Provision for warranties Provisions are made for the expected cost of warranty obligations in relation to speciﬁ c construction contracts at reporting date. The provision is measure as the present value of future cash ﬂ ows estimated to be required to settle the warranty obligation. The future cash ﬂ ows has been estimated at the Directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation and history of warranty claims. 2.20 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial assets and ﬁ nancial liabilities are recognised when a Group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and ﬁ nancial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of ﬁ nancial assets and ﬁ nancial liabilities (other than ﬁ nancial assets and ﬁ nancial liabilities at fair value through proﬁ t or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the ﬁ nancial assets or ﬁ nancial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of ﬁ nancial assets or ﬁ nancial liabilities at fair value through proﬁ t or loss are recognised immediately in proﬁ t or loss. 2.21 FINANCIAL ASSETS Financial assets are classiﬁ ed into the following speciﬁ ed categories: ﬁ nancial assets ‘at fair value through proﬁ t or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) ﬁ nancial assets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classiﬁ cation depends on the nature and purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classiﬁ cation of its investments at initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of ﬁ nancial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of ﬁ nancial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. 2.21.1 Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those ﬁ nancial assets classiﬁ ed as at FVTPL. 2.21.2 Fair value The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a ﬁ nancial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash ﬂ ow analysis, and option pricing models making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-speciﬁ c inputs. 2.21.3 Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets are classiﬁ ed as at FVTPL when the ﬁ nancial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL. A ﬁ nancial asset is classiﬁ ed as held for trading if: • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or • on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identiﬁ ed ﬁ nancial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term proﬁ t-taking; or • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. A ﬁ nancial asset other than a ﬁ nancial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if: • such designation eliminates or signiﬁ cantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or 82 Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 • • the ﬁ nancial asset forms part of a group of ﬁ nancial assets or ﬁ nancial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in proﬁ t or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in proﬁ t or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the ﬁ nancial asset and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in the statement of comprehensive income. 2.21.4 Held-to-maturity investments Bills of exchange and debentures with ﬁ xed or determinable payments and ﬁ xed maturity dates that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classiﬁ ed as held-to-maturity investments. Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment. 2.21.5 Loans and receivables Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have ﬁ xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classiﬁ ed as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. 2.21.6 Impairment of ﬁ nancial assets Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the ﬁ nancial asset, the estimated future cash ﬂ ows of the investment have been affected. For certain categories of ﬁ nancial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. For ﬁ nancial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash ﬂ ows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar ﬁ nancial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. The carrying amount of the ﬁ nancial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all ﬁ nancial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in proﬁ t or loss. 2.22 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY INSTRUMENTS 2.22.1 Classiﬁ cation as debt or equity Debt and equity instruments are classiﬁ ed as either ﬁ nancial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. 2.22.2 Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in proﬁ t or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments. 2.22.3 Other ﬁ nancial liabilities Other ﬁ nancial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other ﬁ nancial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 83 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a ﬁ nancial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the ﬁ nancial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. 2.22.4 Derecognition of ﬁ nancial liabilities The Group derecognises ﬁ nancial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the ﬁ nancial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in proﬁ t or loss. 2.23 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of ﬁ nancial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 45 to 75 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. 2.24 GOODS AND SERVICES TAX Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: • where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or • for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash ﬂ ows are included in the statement of cash ﬂ ows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash ﬂ ows arising from investing and ﬁ nancing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classiﬁ ed within operating cash ﬂ ows. 2. 25 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of ﬁ nancial position. 2.26 DIVIDENDS Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the ﬁ nancial year but not distributed at balance date. 2.27 EARNINGS PER SHARE 2.27.1 Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the proﬁ t attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the ﬁ nancial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 2.27.2 Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the ﬁ gures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other ﬁ nancing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 2.28 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS Share based compensation payments are provided to employees in accordance to the Company’s Employee Share Plan (‘ESP’) and Long Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’) detailed in Note 31. The Employee Share Plan (‘ESP’) is accounted for as an “in-substance” option plan due to the limited recourse nature of the loan between the employees and the Company to ﬁ nance the purchase of ordinary shares. Share based compensation payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using the valuation methods detailed in Note 31. The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reﬂ ect market Vesting Conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market Vesting Conditions. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share based payments is expensed on 84 Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in proﬁ t or loss such that the cumulative expense reﬂ ects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee beneﬁ ts reserve. Upon the exercise of options / performance rights, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options / performance rights is transferred to issued capital and the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to issued capital. 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 3.1 CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see Section 3.2 below), that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most signiﬁ cant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated ﬁ nancial statements. 3.1.1 Revenue recognition Construction contract revenue is recognised in proﬁ t or loss when the outcome of a construction contract can be measured reliably, in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be measured reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in proﬁ t or loss. 3.1.2 Share based payments The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with key management personnel at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a valuation methods detailed in Note 31. One of the inputs into the valuation model is volatility of the underlying share price which is estimated on the two year history of the share price and has been estimated at 50%. The share price used in the valuation model is based on the Company’s share price at grant date of each performance right. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in proﬁ t or loss such that the cumulative expense reﬂ ects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share based payment reserve. 3.2 KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a signiﬁ cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next ﬁ nancial year. The preparation of ﬁ nancial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 85 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. 3.2.1 Construction contracts The Group accounts for construction contracts in accordance with AASB 111 Construction Contracts. Accounting for construction contracts involves the continuous use of assessed estimates based on a number of detailed assumptions consistent with the project scope and schedule, contract and risk management processes. These contracts may span several accounting periods requiring estimates and assumptions to be updated on a regular basis. Details of the estimation procedures followed in accounting for the Group’s construction contracts are detailed below. (i) Forecast costs to completion: Regularly management update forecast costs at completion in accordance with upon agreed work scope and variations. Forecast costs are based on rates expected to be applied to the related activity to be undertaken. (ii) Revenues: Revenues reﬂ ect the contract price agreed in the contract and variations where it is probable that the client will approve those variations or where negotiations are at ﬁ nal stages with the client. 3.2.2 Goodwill impairment Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the inputs of the value in use of the cash- generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash ﬂ ows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. In this regard the future cash ﬂ ows are estimated based on approved budgets relating to the cash-generating units. The carrying amount of goodwill at 30 June 2013 was $24.4 million (30 June 2012: $24.4 million). The Directors determined no impairment of goodwill during the current year (2012: Nil). Details of the goodwill carrying amount can be found at Note 20. 3.2.3 Employee entitlements Management judgement is applied in determining the following key assumptions used in the calculation of long service leave at balance date: (i) future increases in wages and salaries; (ii) future on cost rates; and (iii) employee departures and period of service. 3.2.4 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment As described at Section 2.15 above, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. The effective lives are based on intended utilisation and working conditions. Also demand for speciﬁ c plant and equipment will affect the plant modelling giving rise to a certain degree of ﬂ uctuations and subjectiveness. 3.2.5 Provision for warranties As described in 2.19.1, the Group recognises provisions for warranties for obligations in relation to speciﬁ c construction contracts. The future outﬂ ow of cash has been estimated at the Directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation and history of warranty claims. 86 Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 4. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS 4.1 STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED IN THE CURRENT YEAR The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current year and have affected the amounts reported in these ﬁ nancial statements. Standards affecting presentation and disclosure Amendments to AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ The amendment (part of AASB 2011-9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income’ introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendments to AASB 101, the statement of comprehensive income is renamed as a statement of proﬁ t or loss and other comprehensive income and the income statement is renamed as a statement of proﬁ t or loss. The amendments to AASB 101 retain the option to present proﬁ t or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to AASB 101 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section: (a) items that will not be reclassiﬁ ed subsequently to proﬁ t or loss and (b) items that may be reclassiﬁ ed subsequently to proﬁ t or loss when speciﬁ c conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis – the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modiﬁ ed to reﬂ ect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to AASB 101 does not result in any impact on proﬁ t or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. The amendments (part of AASB 2012-5 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle’) requires an entity that changes accounting policies retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassiﬁ cation to present a statement of ﬁ nancial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (third statement of ﬁ nancial position), when the retrospective application, restatement or reclassiﬁ cation has a material eff ect on the information in the third statement of ﬁ nancial position.

The Group assesses the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit based on the value-in-use calculation. Key assumptions made in determining “value-in-use” are as follows: Projected cash ﬂ ows The assets recoverable amount or “value in use” is calculated using the Board approved budget for the year ending 30 June 2014 plus cash ﬂ ow projections up to and including the year ended 30 June 2018. Estimated rate of growth The estimated growth rate of 5% has been agreed as the appropriate growth rate given estimate sales and forecast of future projects. Weighted average cost of capital The weighted average cost of capital including a risk margin has been set at a pre-tax discount rate of 18.0% (2012: 16.43%). The Directors assess there is no impairment of the goodwill as at 30 June 2013 (30 June 2012: nil). Sensitivities The Board has also performed a sensitivity assessment on the value-in-use calculation on the 5% growth rate used. The sensitivity assessment was performed at both 3% and 7%, with all other key assumptions remaining the same, neither of which resulted in an impairment to goodwill.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Board has ultimate responsibility to manage the Group’s risk management policy. In addition suitable prevention controls and action plans are put in place and the risk policies and procedures are reviewed periodically. The Group’s overall ﬁ nancial risk strategy seeks to ensure appropriate funding levels, approved treasury directives to meet ongoing project needs and new growth. In addition it is seen as critical that the going concern basis is maintained and adequate working capital is available. Primarily interest bearing debt, cash and cash deposits, trade receivables and payables are the main focus of ﬁ nancial instruments engaged by the Group. The Group is also exposed to some foreign currency risks although considered minimal. Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 111 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT The capital structure of the Group comprises of debt (borrowings), cash and cash equivalents, and equity to the relevant stakeholders. The majority of capital funding is required for the long term purchase of operating assets. These are primarily placed under hire purchase borrowing arrangements under a clubbing arrangement through the ANZ Banking Group Ltd. The cash position is reviewed regularly and ensures the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. GEARING RATIO The Board meets regularly to determine the level of borrowings and funding required. The gearing ratio is inﬂ uenced directly from the capital structure including the payment of dividends and any other movement in debt. The gearing ratio was calculated at 30 June as: BORROWINGS (NOTE 23) Cash (Note 12) NET DEBT Equity NET DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO CONSOLIDATED 2013 $’000 219,570 (130,994) 88,576 352,870 25% 2012 $’000 198,770 (137,955) 60,815 329,178 18% FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying values of ﬁ nancial assets and ﬁ nancial liabilities recorded in the ﬁ nancial statement approximate their fair values. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT The debt clubbing arrangement with its main banker the ANZ Banking Group Ltd continues for the group. Under this arrangement a progressive drawdown is used to aid the supply of new assets and subsequently these repayments are grouped into a tranche where a hire purchase repayment schedule is set up. Repayments are generally made quarterly and the progressive draw incurs interest only. Furthermore a residual is in most cases set at 25% and terms tend to be set for ﬁ ve years. The Board continues to review its risk associated with any covenants and borrowing conditions. The bank imposes various covenants and ratio calculations that must be met. These are calculated quarterly. The Group enjoys a mixture of ﬁ xed and variable borrowings to manage both cash and long term capital purchases. The long term debt speciﬁ cally relating to capital purchases of plant and machinery is ﬁ xed. The Group does not enter into any speciﬁ c swaps or hedging relative to any interest rate volatility. Ongoing reviews of available cash or credit in anticipation of contract awards continues and is formally reported monthly or ad hoc subject to any market activity. Given the Group has most of the ﬁ nancing under ﬁ xed rate hire purchase or other similar asset ﬁ nancing agreements, the exposure to market rate volatility lies mainly in the overdraft and progressive drawdown facilities. Considering a swing of 3% in the interest rate cost of funds, would not provide a material impact to the Group. 112 Notes to the Financial Statements NRW ANNUAL REPORT 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining banking facilities, ensuring a tight credit control program, continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash ﬂ ows, and considering the level of capital commitment commensurate with market demand for commodities. The contractual maturity for its ﬁ nancial liabilities and ﬁ nancial assets are set out in the following tables. The table shows the effective interest rates and average interest rates as relevant to each class.

The Board considers that movements in foreign currency (negative or positive) will have minimal impact on operating proﬁ ts, given that most projects are agreed and billed in Australian dollars. Any new developments which the Group considers or bids for are considered as part of the risk management by the board. Other than speciﬁ c transactions or purchases negotiated with the supplier, the majority of transactions dealing in foreign currency are dealt with at spot. The Groups operations in West Africa – Guinea have a continued minor exposure to foreign currency movements given the traded currency is Guinea Francs. No material changes have occurred from prior years and as such predominantly, the exposure to foreign currency ﬂ uctuations is based on the transfer of funds for services rendered in the country of West Africa – Guinea and for reimbursing on payments made by NRW Guinea SARL on behalf of NRW Pty Ltd. The cash balances held in Guinea at 30 June 2013 (at spot) was $5,571 AUD (2012: $278,639 AUD). No hedging is entered into for the purposes of the Guinea operations. Cash is converted to USD and then into GNF as required. Volatile market movements is considered low risk, given the majority of the cash is utilised quickly and intentionally not left idle for long periods. CREDIT RISK The credit risk associated with the Group is primarily if any third party fails to meet its obligations to pay its debt as and when they fall due. Trade and other receivables primarily continue in the 30 to 60 day band. Cash retentions are small in nature given the priority to utilise bonds and bank guarantees. The retention or guarantee/bond period varies from contract to contract under the terms of each contract. Where terms are exceeded by the customer no interest is charged on late payments, however management continue to follow a strict credit policy as part of day to day cash ﬂ ow management and pursue any delays or late payments vigorously. The carrying amount of ﬁ nancial assets recorded in the ﬁ nancial statements net of any allowance for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking into account the value of any collateral. The total amount of guarantees at 30 June 2013 stands at $32,284,488 (2012: $36,426,544) and bonds held stand at $100,592,178 (2012: $95,984,753). 31. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN (“SMDOP”) The SMDOP is a Senior Management and Director share Option Plan and has been put in place since NRW’s admission to the ASX. No options have been issued under the plan to date. The Board has the discretion to determine the terms and conditions applying to each offer of options under the SMDOP including performance conditions attaching to the exercise of options, restrictions on transfer and disposal, exercise price of options and amount payable for a grant of options.
