This information has been presented to assist in making appropriate comparisons with prior periods and to assess the operating performance of the business. The financial performance of the Company has declined from a profit of $1,676,000 last year to a loss of ($4,729,000) this year. The decline in profitability was primarily due to the performance of the LPG-related business and associated impairment of those businesses ($4,068,000) and an increased investment in Research and Development ($2,564,000) which was partially offset by the benefits of a Research and Development grant $2,265,000. With the strategic changes made over the year, the business is now on a better base to achieve sustainable profits in the future. The Company’s net assets increased by 4%, compared with the previous year. This increase is largely attributable to the translation of the foreign subsidiary and the acquisition of the REMSAFE business offset by current year’s loss after tax. Trade receivables have increased by $1,583,000, inventories have decreased by $2,938,000 and trade payables have increased by $814,000. Other receivable of $2,265,000 for the Research and Development Tax Incentive is outstanding at the end of the period. Inventories of the LPG related businesses were reclassified to assets held for sale. Net cash used in operating activities was $3,382,000 (2014: $1,951,000) reflecting an excess of operational expenditures of $4,202,000 (2014: $1,373,000) and a decrease in working capital of $820,000 (2014: increase of $542,000).

Delivery of additional EMS (Engine Management Systems) to the small unmanned aircraft market, both fixed wing and for unmanned helicopter applications market. ► ORBITAL UAVE establishing as a major growth business for Orbital. SALES $m METRICS 3.56 Segment Revenue Segment Result 2015 $’000 2014 $’000 3,560 2,750 492 193 ► ► ► FUTURE OBJECTIVES Secure long- term production contract with Insitu-Boeing. Establish USA based engine production, overhaul and technical support facility. Expand UAVE business into other customers, larger engine sizes and types. Summary of Segment Orbital’s 35 year history of innovation in a wide range of engine technologies is now focused within ORBITAL UAVE. The vision for the new Orbital UAVE business is to design, develop, and manufacture the world’s best leading edge engines and propulsion systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“UAV”) and be the worldwide market share leader. Orbital’s unique FlexDITM technology is the world’s best technology and solution for spark ignited heavy fuel engine applications and the reason Orbital is now suppling number one and two in the small unmanned aircraft market worldwide. The UAV market is growing rapidly and ORBITAL UAVE is poised to leverage their engine expertise and experience, world class development facilities, and Orbital’s proprietary FlexDi technology to secure commercial production contracts which will underwrite the development of the large scale UAV engine production facility in the United States. The key focus of the UAVE business during the year was to deliver on the contract for the design, development and validation of a next generation production engine for Insitu Inc., a subsidiary of The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA)., and one of the largest and most experienced UAV operators in the world. The development program will continue into early FY2016. To meet customer expectations, low volume production of UAV engines is projected to commence before the end of calendar year 2015, with production ramp-up in subsequent years. The UAV market is projected to double in the next decade and with Orbital’s unique FlexDITM technology, this is projected to be a significant growth area for the Company. Highlights Highlights for the year have been the development and real world demonstration of the next generation production engine for Insitu. Orbital’s new small unmanned aircraft engine and propulsion system sets a new benchmark in the industry. Orbital has also developed new electronics and software products that have the performance and weight characteristics to satisfy future market requirements With the strategic changes made over the year, the business is now on a better base to achieve sustainable profits in the future. Business Model Development and supply of high value systems, starting with engine systems, engine management systems and engine parts is the cornerstone of Orbital’s growth strategy. Orbital will also be responsible for engine overhauls, which will be required on a regular basis to get the maximum life from the capital. Engine and systems supply already supplements and will soon replace Orbital’s traditional revenue streams of engineering consulting services and royalties. Growth to date has been underpinned by demand for alternative fuel systems in niche markets. Outlook Revenues from UAVE engine and systems sales will be higher in the next financial year as we transition from the UAV engine design, development and validation programme with Insitu into low volume engine production, whilst continuing sales of EMS components to Textron. The Orbital UAVE team will concurrently develop new products for unmanned helicopters and larger unmanned aircraft applications. 2 3 3 2015 ANNUAL REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 1.

Orbital earns royalties from product using its FlexDITM systems and technology. The royalty bearing products today are in the marine, scooter/motorcycle and SUAS markets. Highlights As anticipated, the LPG fuel system businesses experienced significant declines in revenues as both Ford production and the LPG aftermarket continued to be subdued. Orbital’s strategy to be largest in the LPG market has been successful over the year with a combined market share estimated at sixty percent. Unfortunately this growth in market share is not sufficient for a national distribution enterprise to generate sustainable profits. The larger horsepower outboard engines incorporating FlexDITM have maintained their popularity and have actually achieved a fifth consecutive year of increased volumes. Total marine volumes overall were slightly lower compared to last financial year. Business Model For Consumer based products Orbital is continuing to transition from selling IP and engineering to a company that develops and sells high value products and is no longer projecting significant future intellectual property based license and royalty revenues. Orbital’s intellectual property portfolio is dated and there is no longer an expectation that manufacturers will pay large licence fees and ongoing royalties to gain access to the combustion and engine based technologies developed over the last 20 years.. Orbital will continue to be a company that at its core is innovation and plans to add new consumer products and business streams over time. The investment in R&D, development and commercialisation will be returned through sales of high value products to customers rather than through future royalties. Outlook Due to the subdued LPG systems market, Orbital has decided to exit the OAS and Sprint Gas businesses through a restructure and sale to the minority shareholder, and original founder, of Sprint Gas. This decision considered the declining LPG market, the resulting lack of sustainable profitability for future years, and the recent changes in Orbital’s business focus. The Orbital board made to exit the existing LPG businesses and the company announced this intention on June 30, 2015 and subsequently initiated discussions with our partner and key suppliers with the goal of facilitating the sale of Orbital’s LPG businesses in a manner that has minimal impact to ongoing trading. Orbital will continue to receive royalties from its existing licenced two-stroke outboard engine manufacturers for a number of years still to come, however it must be noted that when production of the current models of two-stroke engines cease they are not likely to be replaced by new models incorporating our FlexDITM technology. The two-stroke engine outboards remain popular today especially the light-weight portability of the small horsepower engines and the power/weight ratios in the performance engine category.. 6 7 7 2015 ANNUAL REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 2.

REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE Board The Board reviews and approves remuneration packages and policies applicable to directors, company secretary and senior executives of the Company. Data is obtained from independent surveys to ensure that compensation throughout the Group is set at market rates having regard to experience and performance. In this regard, formal performance appraisals are conducted at least annually for all employees. Compensation packages may include a mix of fixed compensation, performance-based compensation and equity-based compensation. Remuneration approval process The Board approves the remuneration arrangements of the CEO and executives and all awards made under the long-term incentive (LTI) plan. The Board also sets the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors which is then subject to shareholder approval. The Board approves, having regard to the recommendations made by the CEO, the short-term incentive (STI) bonus plan and any discretionary bonus payments. Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive remuneration is separate and distinct. Services from remuneration consultants From 1 July 2011, all proposed remuneration consultancy contracts (within the meaning of section 206K of the Corporations Act 2001) are subject to prior approval by the Board or the Human Resources, Remuneration and Nomination Committee in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. Did a remuneration consultant provide a remuneration recommendation in relation to any of the KMP for the financial year? No remuneration recommendation was provided by a remuneration consultant for the financial year. 12 13 13 2015 ANNUAL REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 18.4. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. Structure The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fee structure is reviewed against fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies. The Board considers advice from external consultants when undertaking the review process. The Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the non-executive directors’ fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the 2001 annual general meeting (AGM) held on 25 October 2001 when shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of $400,000 per year.

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS Objective The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group and aligned with market practice. The Group undertakes an annual remuneration review to determine the total remuneration positioning against the market. Structure The CEO’s remuneration mix for FY2015 comprised 66% fixed remuneration and 34% LTI. The LTI value is the total accounting expense associated with the grant made during the financial year. Key Management Personnel’s remuneration mix for FY2015 ranged from 80-100% fixed remuneration and 0-20% LTI opportunity. In the 2015 financial year, the executive remuneration framework consisted of the following components: ► ► Fixed remuneration Variable remuneration (STI and LTI) 14 14 2015 ANNUAL REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 Objective Structure process.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS 18.5. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED) The table below illustrates the structure of Orbital’s executive remuneration arrangements: The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. Table 2 – Structure of remuneration arrangements Are the non-executive directors paid No. The non-executive Directors are not paid any short term incentives, long term incentives, equity Fixed compensation any incentive or equity based based remuneration or termination/retirement benefits STI component (discretionary) Paid in cash LTI component Awards are made in the form of performance rights. Remuneration component Fixed compensation Vehicle Purpose Link to company performance Represented by total fixed remuneration (TFR). Comprises base salary, Superannuation contributions and other benefits. Set with reference to role, market and experience. Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group. Rewards executives for their contribution to achievement of Group outcomes. Rewards executives for their contribution to the creation of shareholder value over the longer term through growth in the Company’s market capitalisation. No direct link to company performance. Discretionary award by the Board to reward executives for exceptional performance in a specific area of importance. Vesting of awards is dependent on Orbital Corporation Limited’s market capitalisation. Fixed compensation consists of base compensation (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges related to employee benefits including motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Executive contracts of employment do not include any guaranteed base pay increases. TFR is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of Company, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration internally and externally and, where appropriate, external advice independent of management. The fixed component of executives’ remuneration is detailed in Section 18.8. Variable remuneration — short-term incentive (STI) (discretionary) The table below contains a summary of the key features of the STI plan. What is the STI? Executive directors and senior executives may from time-to-time receive a discretionary cash bonus approved by the Board as a retrospective reward for exceptional performance in a specific matter of importance. When is the STI grant paid? There are no pre-determined timeframes at which assessments for STI rewards are to be undertaken. How does the Company’s STI structure support achievement of the Company’s strategy? The STI rewards executives for their contribution to the achievement of Group outcomes in areas of significant importance not addressed by the pre-determined performance criteria of the LTI. How are the performance conditions of the STI determined? The Board has no pre-determined performance criteria against which the amount of a STI is assessed. What are the maximum possible values of award under the STI plan? There are no pre-determined maximum possible values of award under the STI scheme. In assessing the value of an STI award to be granted the Board will give consideration to the contribution of the action being rewarded to the success of the Group. What was the value of STI paid in the financial year? No discretionary STI cash bonuses were paid during the 2015 financial year. Discretionary STI cash bonuses totalling $74,000 were awarded during the 2014 financial year. Is a portion of STI deferred? No discretionary STI cash bonuses relating to the 2015 or 2014 financial years will become payable in future financial years. 14 15 15 2015 ANNUAL REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 18.5. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED) Variable remuneration — long-term incentive (LTI) LTI awards are made annually to executives in order to align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value over the long-term. As such, LTI awards are only made to executives and other key talent who have an impact on the Group's performance against the relevant long-term performance measure. Employee Share Plan No.1 Senior executives (together with all other eligible employees) are each offered shares in the Company, at no cost to the employees, to the value of $1,000 per annum under the terms of the Company’s Employee Share Plan. There are no performance conditions, because the plan is designed to align the interests of participating employees with those of shareholders. Directors do not participate in Employee Share Plan No.1. Performance Rights Plan The table below contains a summary of the key features of the Performance Rights Plan (PRP). What is the PRP? The PRP is a performance based share plan under which offered shares will vest for no consideration subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions over a 3 year period or subject to Board discretion for other qualifying reasons. How does the PRP align the interests of shareholders and executives? The PRP links rewards for the executive KMP to the Company’s strategy to grow shareholder value by increasing the Company’s market capitalisation. Vesting of shares only occurs if Orbital increases its market capitalisation to $20 million, $35 million and $60 million. How does the PRP support the retention of executives? An objective of offering shares under the PRP is to promote retention. At any one time, an executive KMP will have unvested rights. If an executive resigns they would forfeit the benefits of those unvested rewards. This provides a valuable incentive to stay with the Company so long as the shares are seen by the executive KMP as likely to vest within the performance period. What are the principal terms of the issue made under the LTI in 2015? Grant date: 22 October 2014 (following the AGM at which the Terms of the plan were approved by shareholders). Life: 3 years.

What are the performance conditions for the vesting of LTIs? The performance conditions, which are based 100% on market capitalisation, apply to determine the number of shares (if any) that vest to the Executives. See tables 3 and 4, below for the vesting schedules for EPS tested and TSR tested LTI awards granted in prior years. How is the market price of the PRP determined?

In what circumstances would the LTI entitlements be forfeited? Where a participant ceases employment prior to the vesting of their award, the unvested shares are forfeited unless the Board applies its discretion to allow vesting at or post cessation of employment in appropriate circumstances. What happens to LTI entitlements upon a change of control in the Group? Do shares granted under the LTI dilute existing shareholders’ equity? Are the shares issued under the LTI bought on market? Does the executive obtain the benefit of dividends paid on shares issued under the LTI? In the event of a change of control of the Group, the performance period end date will generally be brought forward to the date of the change of control and awards will vest. The issue of shares can have a small dilutionary impact upon other shareholders. However, the number of shares issued under the PRP in the five years preceding the offer must not exceed 5% of the total shares on issue at the time an offer to a participant is made. No. the company issues new shares for the PRP; it does not buy the shares on the market. KMP are entitled to any dividends paid on vested shares. Unvested rights do not participate in dividend payments or any other distributions to shareholders. What other rights does the holder of vested LTI shares have? The holder of the shares has the same rights as any other holder of shares. This includes voting rights, a right to dividends, bonus shares and capital distributions. Does the Company have executive share ownership guidelines? Can executive KMP hedge to ensure that they obtain a benefit from unvested LTI’s? How many LTI awards vested in the financial year? The Company does not have a formal policy requiring executives to own shares. However a significant component of each executive’s remuneration consists of grants under an employee share plan. Hence, at any given time, after an executive has been with the Company for more than three years, the executive typically has three unvested equity grants which are subject to performance conditions. As at the date of this report, all executives who have been with the company for longer than three years have shares in the Company which have fully vested or been acquired on market. No. All executive KMP have been advised that under section 206J of the Corporations Act it is an offence for them to hedge unvested grants made under the PRP. 900,000 Performance Rights in respect of the 2015 award vested in FY2015. To the extent that had not expired, the former Executive Long Term Share Plan and Performance Rights Plan were cancelled during FY2015 with nil shares issued to KMPs. Is a portion of LTI deferred? No. Vested Performance Rights are issued to KMP without restriction. The following table sets out the relevant percentages of shares offered under the 2014 ELTSP which could have vested based on various percentile rankings of the Company: Table 3 – Vesting schedule for the EPS tested LTI awarded for the performance year 2014 (See Table 11) See tables 3 and 4, below for the vesting schedules for EPS tested and TSR tested LTI awards granted in prior years.

COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND THE LINK TO REMUNERATION Performance linked compensation includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward key management personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The STI is an “at risk” bonus provided in the form of cash, while the LTI is provided as ordinary shares of Orbital Corporation Limited under the rules of the Performance Rights Plan. In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholders wealth the Board has regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years. Company performance and its link to long-term incentives The performance measure which drives LTI vesting in future years is the Company’s market capitalisation. The table below show the closing share price and market capitalisation for the past five years (including the current period) to 30 June 2015. Company performance for the current year and last 4 years is as follows: Table 6 – Orbital five year performance linked to long-term incentives Closing share price ($) Market capitalisation ($m) Earnings per share (cents) 2011 0.25 12.1 3.65 2012 0.22 10.7 (6.28) 2013 0.15 7.4 0.74 2014 0.16 7.9 3.39 2015 0.49 24.0 (10.01) The Performance Target for the first tranche of the new PRP was met during FY2015 and as a result 900,000 shares were issued.

REPORTING ENTITY Orbital Corporation Limited (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is 4 Whipple Street, Balcatta, Western Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2015 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). Orbital Corporation Limited is a for-profit entity and the Group operates in a number of industries (see the Directors’ Report and Note 5). The consolidated financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 25 September 2015. 3. Significant accounting policies New accounting standards and interpretations Intangibles and goodwill 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (a) Statement of Compliance with IFRS The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. (b) Basis of Preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for derivative asset and contingent consideration which is measured at fair value. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated. (c) Functional and Presentation Currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and the functional currency of the majority of the entities within the Group. (d) Use of Estimates and Judgements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and 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 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. Judgements made by management in the application of Australian Accounting Standards that have a significant effect on the financial report and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 4. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. From 1 July 2014, the Group has adopted all the standards and interpretations effective from 1 July 2014 as described in the table below. Adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have a material impact on the Group. The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments. 31 31 1. 2.

AASB 1031 will be withdrawn when references to AASB 1031 in all Standards and Interpretations have been removed. AASB 2014-1 Part C issued in June 2014 makes amendments to eight Australian Accounting Standards to delete their references to AASB 1031. The amendments are effective from 1 July 2014. The Standard contains three main parts and makes amendments to a number of Standards and Interpretations. Part A of AASB 2013-9 makes consequential amendments arising from the issuance of AASB CF 2013-1. Part B makes amendments to particular Australian Accounting Standards to delete references to AASB 1031 and also makes minor editorial amendments to various other standards. AASB 2014-1 Part A: This standard sets out amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the issuance by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle. Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle addresses the following items: AASB 2 - Clarifies the definition of 'vesting conditions' and 'market condition' and introduces the definition of 'performance condition' and 'service condition'. AASB 3 - Clarifies the classification requirements for contingent consideration in a business combination by removing all references to AASB 137. AASB 8 - Requires entities to disclose factors used to identify the entity's reportable segments when operating segments have been aggregated. An entity is also required to provide a reconciliation of total reportable segment assets to the entity's total assets. AASB 116 & AASB 138 - Clarifies that the determination of accumulated depreciation does not depend on the selection of the valuation technique and that it is calculated as the difference between the gross and net carrying amounts. AASB 124 - Defines a management entity providing KMP services as a related party of the reporting entity. The amendments added an exemption from the detailed disclosure requirements in paragraph 17 of AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures for KMP services provided by a management entity. Payments made to a management entity in respect of KMP services should be separately disclosed. Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle addresses the following items: AASB 13 - Clarifies that the portfolio exception in paragraph 52 of AASB 13 applies to all contracts within the scope of AASB 139 or AASB 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in AASB 132. AASB 140 - Clarifies that judgment is needed to determine whether an acquisition of investment property is solely the acquisition of an investment property or whether it is the acquisition of a group of assets or a business combination in the scope of AASB 3 that includes an investment property. That judgment is based on guidance in AASB 3. 32 32 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3.

The revised AASB 1031 is an interim standard that cross-references to other Standards and the Framework (issued December 2013) that contain guidance on materiality. AASB 1031 will be withdrawn when references to AASB 1031 in all Standards and Interpretations have been removed. AASB 2014-1 Part C issued in June 2014 makes amendments to eight Australian Accounting Standards to delete their references to AASB 1031. The amendments are effective from 1 July 2014. Standards and Interpretations. AASB CF 2013-1. standards. The Standard contains three main parts and makes amendments to a number of Part A of AASB 2013-9 makes consequential amendments arising from the issuance of Part B makes amendments to particular Australian Accounting Standards to delete references to AASB 1031 and also makes minor editorial amendments to various other AASB 2014-1 Part A: This standard sets out amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the issuance by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle. Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle addresses the following items: AASB 2 - Clarifies the definition of 'vesting conditions' and 'market condition' and introduces the definition of 'performance condition' and 'service condition'. AASB 3 - Clarifies the classification requirements for contingent consideration in a business combination by removing all references to AASB 137. AASB 8 - Requires entities to disclose factors used to identify the entity's reportable segments when operating segments have been aggregated. An entity is also required to provide a reconciliation of total reportable segment assets to the entity's total assets. AASB 116 & AASB 138 - Clarifies that the determination of accumulated depreciation does not depend on the selection of the valuation technique and that it is calculated as the difference between the gross and net carrying amounts. AASB 124 - Defines a management entity providing KMP services as a related party of the reporting entity. The amendments added an exemption from the detailed disclosure requirements in paragraph 17 of AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures for KMP services provided by a management entity. Payments made to a management entity in respect of KMP services should be separately disclosed. Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle addresses the following items: AASB 13 - Clarifies that the portfolio exception in paragraph 52 of AASB 13 applies to all contracts within the scope of AASB 139 or AASB 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in AASB 132. AASB 140 - Clarifies that judgment is needed to determine whether an acquisition of investment property is solely the acquisition of an investment property or whether it is the acquisition of a group of assets or a business combination in the scope of AASB 3 that includes an investment property. That judgment is based on guidance in AASB 3. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Consolidated Entity controls an investee if and only if the Group has: Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee Rights arising from other contractual arrangements The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra- Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary. Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest. Derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity. Recognises the fair value of the consideration received. Recognises the fair value of any investment retained. Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss. Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intragroup transactions have been eliminated in full. (ii) Associate The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. The associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. The Group generally deems they have significant influence if they have over 20% of the voting rights. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investment in associates. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profit or losses is recognised in the statement of profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends received from the associate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. 32 33 33 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (b) Basis of Consolidation (continued) (ii) Associate (continued) When the Group’s share of losses in the associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables or loans, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The associate’s accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. (iii) Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation Intra-group balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity with adjustments made to the investment in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Gains and losses are recognised as the contributed assets are consumed or sold or, if not consumed or sold, when the Group’s interest in such entities is disposed of. (c) Foreign Currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date (except those representing the Group’s net investment in subsidiaries and its associate see below) are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. (ii) Financial statements of foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars, applying the step by step method, at exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised directly in a separate component of equity described as ‘foreign currency translation reserve’. They are released into the statement of profit or loss upon disposal. (iii) Net investment in foreign operations Exchange differences arising from the translation of balances representing the net investment in foreign operations are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. (d) Financial Instruments (i) Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Cash and cash equivalents - refer note 11 Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, at call deposits and bank-endorsed bills of exchange at discounted value. Other financial assets - refer note 12 Other financial assets comprise term deposits with financial institutions with maturities between 90 days and 365 days. Subsequent to initial recognition other financial assets are stated at amortised cost. 34 34 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3.

Cash and cash equivalents - refer note 11 value. Other financial assets - refer note 12 Trade and other receivables - refer note 14 Subsequent to initial recognition, trade receivables are stated at their amortised cost, less impairment losses. Normal settlement terms are 30 to 60 days. The collectability of debts is assessed at balance date and specific allowance is made for any doubtful accounts. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment allowance is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable. Financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments or debts more than 60 days overdue are considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Trade and other payables - refer note 20 Liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other payables are stated at their amortised cost. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30-day terms. Borrowings - refer note 12 Included in current liabilities is an amount for obligations under hire purchase contracts. The hire purchase contracts are capitalised at commencement of the contract at the present value of the minimum hire purchase payments. Hire purchase payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the hire purchase liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. Convertible Note issuance - refer note 12 Included in current and non-current liabilities is an amount for obligations under the Convertible Note issuance that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, with the number of shares to be issued being fixed. The component of the convertible note that exhibits characteristics of debt is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar financial liability that does not have the equity conversion option. The residual amount is recognised as equity. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition the liability component of the convertible note issuance is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. On conversion to ordinary shares, the financial liability converted will be reclassified against issued capital and no gain or loss is recognised on conversion. Long term borrowings - refer note 12 Included in non-current liabilities is an amount owing to the Government of Western Australia resulting from a loan of $14,346,000 restructured in January 2010. The loan is interest-free with annual repayments commencing in May 2010 and concluding in May 2025. The non-interest bearing loan from the Government of Western Australia was recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The difference between the fair value and face value of the loan on initial recognition is accounted for as a government grant as disclosed in note 12(b). Contingent consideration - refer note 12 Included in non-current liabilities is an amount owing to the owners of the non-controlling interest in Sprint Gas (Aust) Pty Ltd. The contingent consideration was recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at fair value through profit and loss. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are (ii) Derivative financial instruments A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract The Group may use derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rate movements. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group entity does not hold the derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument that are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments are recognised in profit or loss. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, at call deposits and bank-endorsed bills of exchange at discounted (e) Inventories – refer note 15 Other financial assets comprise term deposits with financial institutions with maturities between 90 days and 365 days. Subsequent to initial recognition other financial assets are stated at amortised cost. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventory is valued at weighted average cost and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their present location and condition, which for finished goods and work in progress includes cost of direct materials and direct manufacturing labour. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. 34 35 35 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3. (f) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Plant and Equipment – refer note 18 (i) Recognition and measurement Items of plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. (ii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of day-to-day servicing of plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. (iii) Depreciation and Amortisation Items of plant and equipment are depreciated/amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The depreciation rates used in the current and comparative period for each class of asset are as follows: Plant and Equipment 6.67% to 33.3%. Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition. The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually. (iv) Asset Sales The net profit or loss from asset sales are included as other income or expenses of the Group. The profit or loss on disposal of assets is brought to account at the date that an unconditional contract of sale is signed. The profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal. (g) Intangibles and goodwill – refer note 19 (i) Research and Development Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. Expenditure on intangibles which may be capitalised includes the cost of materials and direct labour. Other development expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as an expense as incurred. Capitalised expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is charged to the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite. (ii) Patents, Licences and Technologies Patents, licences and technology development and maintenance costs, not qualifying for capitalisation, are expensed as incurred. (iii) Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed. 36 36 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. (ii) Subsequent costs Customer contracts acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The cost of customer contracts acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the acquisition date. Following initial recognition customer contracts are carried at fair value less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated based on the timing of when the benefits are expected to be received from such contracts which range from 6 months to 2 years. The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of day-to-day servicing of plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. (h) Impairment (i) Financial assets (iii) Depreciation and Amortisation Items of plant and equipment are depreciated/amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The depreciation rates used in the current and comparative period for each class of asset are as follows: Plant and Equipment 6.67% to 33.3%. Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition. The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually. The net profit or loss from asset sales are included as other income or expenses of the Group. The profit or loss on disposal of assets is brought to account at the date that an unconditional contract of sale is signed. The profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on (iv) Asset Sales disposal. (g) Intangibles and goodwill – refer note 19 (i) Research and Development Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. Expenditure on intangibles which may be capitalised includes the cost of materials and direct labour. Other development expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as an expense as incurred.

(iii) Goodwill liabilities. units. to which the goodwill relates. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its current fair value. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity. (ii) Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. (i) Share Capital – refer note 26 i) Issued Capital Share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), (ii) Treasury Shares Own equity instruments that are reacquired are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. 36 37 37 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (i) Share Capital – refer note 26 (continued) (iii) Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. (iv) Transaction Costs Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. (j) Employee Benefits (i) Short-term benefits - refer note 22 The provisions for employee entitlements expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of year end represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided up to the balance date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on employee benefits that the Group expects to pay as at the reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers’ compensation and payroll tax. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable (ii) Long Service Leave - refer note 22 The provision for employee entitlements to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made resulting from employees’ services provided up to balance sheet date. The provision is calculated using estimated future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on the Group’s experience with staff departures and is discounted using the rates attached to high quality corporate bonds at balance sheet date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. (iii) Defined Contribution Superannuation Fund - refer note 36 Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution superannuation fund are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss as incurred. (iv) Share-based payment transactions - refer note 35 Employees have been offered the right to take up shares in the Company under two plans (i) the Employee Share Plan No.1 provides $1,000 of shares per annum and is subject to qualification by length of service, (ii) the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan based on market capitalisation. In the prior period the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan was based on (i) Earnings Per Share and was subject to qualification by length of service and achievement of corporate performance targets related to returns to shareholders, and (ii) the Performance Rights Plan was based on share price subject to qualification by length of service and achievement of share price targets. These Executive Long Term Incentive Plans were cancelled in the current period and replaced by the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan based on market capitalisation. The fair value of rights granted to employees is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of the shares granted under the Employee Share Plan No.1 is based on the market price of the shares on the date of issue. The fair value of the Performance Rights Plan based on market capitalisation is measured at grant date taking into account market performance conditions only, and spread over the vesting period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the performance–based shares. The fair value of the shares granted based on an Earnings Per Share basis were based on the market price of the shares on the date of issue. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of shares that vest except where forfeiture is only due to market conditions that were not met. The fair value of the Performance Rights Plan based on share price was measured at grant date taking into account the share price targets and spread over the expected life of the rights. (k) Provisions – refer note 25 A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provision for warranty is recognised when the underlying products are sold. The provision is based on historical claim data. 38 38 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (i) Share Capital – refer note 26 (continued) (iii) Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. (iv) Transaction Costs (j) Employee Benefits (i) Short-term benefits - refer note 22 measured at the rates paid or payable (ii) Long Service Leave - refer note 22 Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. The provisions for employee entitlements expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of year end represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided up to the balance date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on employee benefits that the Group expects to pay as at the reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers’ compensation and payroll tax. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are The provision for employee entitlements to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made resulting from employees’ services provided up to balance sheet date. The provision is calculated using estimated future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on the Group’s experience with staff departures and is discounted using the rates attached to high quality corporate bonds at balance sheet date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution superannuation fund are recognised as an expense in the statement (iii) Defined Contribution Superannuation Fund - refer note 36 of profit or loss as incurred. (iv) Share-based payment transactions - refer note 35 Employees have been offered the right to take up shares in the Company under two plans (i) the Employee Share Plan No.1 provides $1,000 of shares per annum and is subject to qualification by length of service, (ii) the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan based on market capitalisation. In the prior period the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan was based on (i) Earnings Per Share and was subject to qualification by length of service and achievement of corporate performance targets related to returns to shareholders, and (ii) the Performance Rights Plan was based on share price subject to qualification by length of service and achievement of share price targets. These Executive Long Term Incentive Plans were cancelled in the current period and replaced by the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan based on market capitalisation. The fair value of rights granted to employees is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of the shares granted under the Employee Share Plan No.1 is based on the market price of the shares on the date of issue. The fair value of the Performance Rights Plan based on market capitalisation is measured at grant date taking into account market performance conditions only, and spread over the vesting period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the performance–based shares. The fair value of the shares granted based on an Earnings Per Share basis were based on the market price of the shares on the date of issue. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of shares that vest except where forfeiture is only due to market conditions that were not met. The fair value of the Performance Rights Plan based on share price was measured at grant date taking into account the share price targets and spread over the expected life of the rights. (k) Provisions – refer note 25 A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provision for warranty is recognised when the underlying products are sold. The provision is based on historical claim data. 3. (l) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). Exchanges of goods or services of the same nature and value without any cash consideration are not recognised as revenues. (i) Revenue from Rendering of Services Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the statement of profit 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 the extent of work performed. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due. Revenue received in advance represents cash payments received from customers in accordance with contractual commitments prior to the performance of the service. (ii) Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when there is persuasive evidence, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement at the time of delivery of the goods to customer, indicating that there has been a transfer of risks and rewards to the customer, no further work or processing is required, the quantity and quality of the goods has been determined, the price is fixed and generally title has passed. (iii) Licence and royalties Revenue earned under various licence, royalty and other agreements is recognised on an accrual basis upon the satisfactory completion of contracted technical specifications. Additional revenue may be earned after a fixed time interval or after delivery of a prototype engine and/or hardware meeting specified performance targets, provided the licence agreements are not terminated. Under the terms of the licence agreements, licensees are not specifically obliged to commence production and sale of engines using Orbital Technology and may terminate the agreements upon notice to Orbital. If a licensee were to terminate its licence agreement with Orbital, the licensee would forfeit the licence and any technical disclosure fees paid through to the date of termination. Revenue under royalty agreements is recognised when such amounts become due and payable. (iv) Interest Revenue Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. (v) Dividends Revenue is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established. (m) Operating Leases Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. (n) Finance Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e. an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. (o) Income Tax – refer note 9 (i) Current income tax expense and liability Income tax on the profit or loss for the year presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 38 39 39 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (o) Income Tax (continued) – refer note 9 (ii) Deferred income tax expense and liability Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. (iii) Tax Consolidation The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2002 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Orbital Corporation Limited. (p) Operating Segments – refer note 5 An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's executive management team (the chief operating decision maker) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the executive management team. The group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects: • Nature of the products and services, • Nature of the production processes, • Type or class of customer for the products and services, • Methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and if applicable • Nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. Information about other business activities and operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”. (q) Goods and Services Tax Revenue, 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. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amounts of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. (r) Earnings Per Share – refer note 10 The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 40 40 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. (r) Earnings Per Share – refer note 10 The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. (s) Government Grants – refer note 24 Government grants are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as a liability when the grant is received. Government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants received on compensation for expenses and losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support are recognised immediately in profit and loss for the period. When the grant relates to a discount on services to be rendered in the future, the fair value is credited to deferred revenue and is released to the statement of profit or loss over the periods that the discounted services are rendered. When the grant relates to an asset (investment grants relating to the construction of a heavy duty engine test facility), the fair value is credited to deferred income and is released to the statement of profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments. (t) Business Combinations – refer note 30 Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred, and included in administrative expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. (u) Assets held for sale and discontinued operations – refer note 31 The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. Such non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs attributable to the sale excluding finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. Plant and equipment are not depreciated once classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. A disposal group qualifies as a discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and: Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical are of operations. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss. Additional disclosures are provided in Note 31. All other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned. (v) New standards and interpretations not yet effective The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2014, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report: 40 41 41 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 Application date of standard * 1 January 2018 Application date for Group* 1 July 2018 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (v) New standards and interpretations not yet effective (continued) Reference Title Summary AASB 9 (IFRS 9) Financial Instruments AASB 9 (December 2014) is a new standard which replaces AASB 139. This new version supersedes AASB 9 issued in December 2009 (as amended) and AASB 9 (issued in December 2010) and includes a model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking 'expected loss' impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting. AASB 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. However, the Standard is available for early adoption. The own credit changes can be early adopted in isolation without otherwise changing the accounting for financial instruments. Classification and measurement AASB 9 includes requirements for a simpler approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. There are also some changes made in relation to financial liabilities. The main changes are described below. Financial assets a. Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. b. Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. c. Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. Financial liabilities Changes introduced by AASB 9 in respect of financial liabilities are limited to the measurement of liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) using the fair value option. Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities, the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) The remaining change is presented in profit or loss AASB 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss that was caused by changes in the credit risk of liabilities elected to be measured at fair value. This change in accounting means that gains or losses attributable to changes in the entity's own credit risk would be recognised in OCI. These amounts recognised in OCI are not recycled to profit or loss if the liability is ever repurchased at a discount. Impairment The final version of AASB 9 introduces a new expected-loss impairment model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. Specifically, the new Standard requires entities to account for expected credit losses from when financial instruments are first recognised and to recognise full lifetime expected losses on a more timely basis. 42 42 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3.

Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009- 11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7, AASB 2010-10 and AASB 2014-1 - Part E. AASB 2014-7 incorporates the consequential amendments arising from the issuance of AASB 9 in Dec 2014. AASB 2014-8 limits the application of the existing versions of AASB 9 (AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 (December 2010)) from 1 February 2015 and applies to annual reporting periods beginning on after 1 January 2015. AASB 2014-3 amends AASB 11 Joint Arrangements to provide guidance on the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations in which the activity constitutes a business. The amendments require: a. b. the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations, to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in AASB 11; and the acquirer to disclose the information required by AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards for business combinations. This Standard also makes an editorial correction to AASB 11. AASB 116 Property Plant and Equipment (IAS 16) and AASB 138 Intangible Assets (IAS 38) both establish the principle for the basis of depreciation and amortisation as being the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of an asset. The IASB has clarified that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The amendment also clarified that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances.

AASB 15 incorporates the requirements of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and developed jointly with the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). AASB 15 specifies the accounting treatment for revenue arising from contracts with customers (except for contracts within the scope of other accounting standards such as leases or financial instruments).The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: (a) Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer (b) Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract (c) Step 3: Determine the transaction price (d) Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract (e) Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation Currently, AASB 15 is effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2017.

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Servicing contracts - clarifies how an entity should apply the guidance in paragraph 42C of AASB 7 to a servicing contract to decide whether a servicing contract is ‘continuing involvement’ for the purposes of applying the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 42E–42H of AASB 7. Applicability of the amendments to AASB 7 to condensed interim financial statements - clarify that the additional disclosure required by the amendments to AASB 7 Disclosure–Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities is not specifically required for all interim periods. However, the additional disclosure is required to be given in condensed interim financial statements that are prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting when its inclusion would be required by the requirements of AASB 134. AASB 119 Employee Benefits: Discount rate: regional market issue - clarifies that the high quality corporate bonds used to estimate the discount rate for post-employment benefit obligations should be denominated in the same currency as the liability. Further it clarifies that the depth of the market for high quality corporate bonds should be assessed at the currency level. AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting: Disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the interim financial report’ - amends AASB 134 to clarify the meaning of disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the interim financial report’ and to require the inclusion of a cross-reference from the interim financial statements to the location of this information. The Standard makes amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements arising from the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative project. The amendments are designed to further encourage companies to apply professional judgment in determining what information to disclose in the financial statements. For example, the amendments make clear that materiality applies to the whole of financial statements and that the the usefulness of financial disclosures. The amendments also clarify that companies should use professional judgment in determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures. information can inclusion of immaterial inhibit The Standard completes the AASB’s project to remove Australian guidance on materiality from Australian Accounting Standards. 1 July 2015 1 July 2015 AASB 2015-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012 - 2014 Cycle AASB 2015-2 AASB 2015-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality 44 45 45 * Designates the beginning of the applicable annual reporting period unless otherwise stated.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of the assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements. (a) Significant accounting judgements Discontinued operations and impairment of disposal group On 30 June 2015, the Group publicly announced the decision of this Board of Directors to exit the LPG businesses due to the decline in the LPG market, the resulting lack of sustainable profitability and the recent changes in Orbital’s business focus. The Group will exit both the Sprint Gas Australia (“Sprint Gas”) business and Orbital Autogas Systems (“OAS”) business. The sale of the net assets of Sprint Gas and the sale of the OAS inventory assets have been combined to form a single co- ordinated plan to exit the loss-making LPG businesses with minimal cost of closure to the Group. The Sprint Gas business exit will be through the sale of the net assets of Sprint Gas to the non-controlling shareholder for no consideration. The OAS business exit will be through the closure of the OAS operations and the transfer of the inventory of the OAS business to Sprint Gas at recoverable amount. The net assets of Sprint Gas and the OAS inventory have been classified as a disposal group held for sale as at 30 June 2015. The results of both the Sprint Gas business and the OAS business were reported as discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss. The Board considered the disposal group to meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale at 30 June 2015 for the following reasons: Sprint Gas net assets and OAS inventory are available for immediate sale and will be sold in its current condition The sale to the non-controlling shareholder of Sprint Gas is highly probable and expected to be completed within the next 12 months Management announced the plan to the market, employees and shareholders. The LPG business represents a separate line of business of the Group. The sale of the net assets of Sprint Gas and the inventory of OAS combined with the closure of the OAS business is considered to be part of a single co-ordinated plan of the Group to dispose of this line of business. Further details are provided in Note 31. Consolidation of Sprint Gas (Aust) Pty Ltd On 27 May 2011, Orbital Autogas Systems Pty Ltd acquired 55% of the voting shares of Sprint Gas (Aust) Pty Ltd, a new company incorporated to acquire the operating business of Sprint Gas, an Australian business specializing in the importation and wholesaling of LPG Fuel systems. Concurrently with the entering into of the Business Acquisition Agreement, the Group entered into a Subscription and Shareholders Agreement with the owners of the 45% non-controlling interest in Sprint Gas (Aust) Pty Ltd. As part of the Subscription and Shareholders Agreement Put and Call options were issued over the remaining 45% non-controlling interest. Management has determined that the Put and Call options, exercisable after 30 months, are in nature a forward contract and in substance represent contingent consideration. The Group has accounted for the business combination as though it acquired a 100% interest and has recognised a financial liability to the non-controlling shareholders equal to the fair value of the underlying obligations under the Put and Call option (Contingent consideration liability). Capitalised development costs Development costs are only capitalised when it can be demonstrated that the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset is valid so that the asset will be available for use or sale. 46 46 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 3.

Concurrently with the entering into of the Business Acquisition Agreement, the Group entered into a Subscription and Shareholders Agreement with the owners of the 45% non-controlling interest in Sprint Gas (Aust) Pty Ltd. As part of the Subscription and Shareholders Agreement Put and Call options were issued over the remaining 45% non-controlling interest. Management has determined that the Put and Call options, exercisable after 30 months, are in nature a forward contract and in substance represent contingent consideration. The Group has accounted for the business combination as though it acquired a 100% interest and has recognised a financial liability to the non-controlling shareholders equal to the fair value of the underlying obligations under the Put and Call option (Contingent consideration liability). Capitalised development costs Development costs are only capitalised when it can be demonstrated that the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset is valid so that the asset will be available for use or sale. Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the Statement of Financial Position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unrecouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management's estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future production and sales volumes, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the Statement of Financial Position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the statement of profit or loss. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of shares granted under the Employee Share Plan No.1 is the market value on the date of issue. The fair value of the performance rights is determined by an external valuer using a trinomial option valuation model, with assumptions detailed in note 35. The fair value of the TSR related Executive Long Term Share Plan rights was determined by an external valuer using a monte-carlo simulation model, with the assumptions detailed in note 35. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity. Impairment of goodwill, intangibles with indefinite useful lives and plant and equipment The Group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, using a value in use discounted cash flow methodology, to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated. Refer to Note 19 for further information. Plant and equipment are tested whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Refer to Note 18 for further information. Recognition of contingent consideration The Group has measured the value of the contingent consideration liability by reference to the fair values of the underlying obligations under the Put and Call options that give rise to the liability. In determining the fair values of underlying obligations under the Put and Call options the Group has made judgements in respect of the expected earnings before interest, depreciation and amortisation expected to be generated by the business during the calculation period. Product warranty In determining the level of provision required for product warranties the Group has made judgements in respect of the expected performance of the product, number of customers who will actually use the product warranty and how often, and the costs of fulfilling the performance of the product warranty. Historical experience and current knowledge of the performance of products has been used in determining this provision. The related carrying amounts are disclosed in note 25. Consolidation of Sprint Gas (Aust) Pty Ltd Revenue from rendering of services Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the statement of profit 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 the extent of work performed. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due. 5. OPERATING SEGMENTS Identification of reportable segments The group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The operating segments are identified by management based on the manner in which the product is sold, whether retail or wholesale, and the nature of the services provided, the identity of service line manager and country of origin. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis. 46 47 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 5. OPERATING SEGMENTS (CONTINUED) The reportable segments are based on the similarity of the products produced and sold and/or the services provided, as these are the sources of the Group’s major risks and have the most effect on the rates of return. During the 2015 financial reporting period the Group changed the reportable segments to represent the internal reorganisation of the operating segments in line with Orbital’s updated strategy. The acquisition of the REMSAFE business, expansion of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle engines business and the divestment of the LPG businesses were the main drivers of the change in operating segments. Comparatives have been updated to be presented on a consistent basis. Types of products and services as reported in 2015 Aerospace The Aerospace segment is focused on the design, development and construction of engines and propulsion systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) based on Orbital’s unique FlexDITM technology for spark ignited heavy fuel engine applications. The Small Unmanned Aerial System engines business was previously reported as part of the System Sales segment. Due to the expansion of the business to include the broader Unmanned Aerial Vehicle engines business, the business is now reported a stand-alone operating segment. Mining & Industrial REMSAFE has developed an electrical isolation system that provides a safety solution which delivers cost savings and increases productivity. The Group acquired the REMSAFE business during the current reporting period. This is a new operating segment for the Group. Accelerator The Accelerator segment contains Orbital’s centre for innovation, leveraging off the engineering expertise, facilities and experience to commercialise innovative and patent protected technologies. Through the Accelerator Orbital transforms the historical Consulting Services segment into a technology incubator targeted at attracting new investment opportunities. Consumer The Consumer segment includes royalties and licences from licensees of Orbital technologies. Applications utilising Orbital technologies include outboard engines, auto rickshaws and scooters, representing consumer products. The royalties and licence business was previously reported as a stand-alone operating segment. The Consumer segment also includes the LPG businesses of Orbital Autogas Systems (OAS) and Sprint Gas Australia (Sprint Gas). The LPG businesses have been accounted for as Discontinued Operations and were previously reported in the system sales segment. Types of products and services as reported in prior reporting periods System Sales (sale of goods) The system sales businesses provided LPG fuel systems to an Australian automobile manufacturer, LPG retrofit installers and also operated spare parts businesses for LPG fuel systems. The segment also included the supply of Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS) engines, component parts and engine management systems. Consulting services (consultancy) The consulting services business provided consultancy services to original equipment manufacturers, engine manufacturers and government departments. The engineering services provided include research, design, development, calibration, improvement, production support, performance testing, emissions testing and certification. Royalties and licences (intellectual property rights) The royalties and licences business received revenue from licensees of Orbital technologies. Applications utilising Orbital technologies include outboard engines, auto rickshaws and scooters. Accounting policies The following items and associated assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment: • Corporate management and finance and administration overhead expenses. • Share of profit from equity accounted investment. • Finance costs - including adjustments on provisions due to discounting. • Cash and cash equivalents. • Borrowings. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one period. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Geographical information The Aerospace segment is managed on an American basis. The Mining & Industrial and Accelerator segments are managed on a worldwide basis. Royalties and licences within the Consumer segment is managed on a worldwide basis and the LPG businesses on an Australian basis.

EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share The calculation of basic earnings per share at 30 June 2015 was based on loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $4,542,000 (2014: profit $1,676,000) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2015 of 46,212,805 shares (2014: 49,502,395 shares), calculated as follows: Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent: Continuing operations Discontinued operations Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent for basic earnings Weighted average number of ordinary shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares at 30 June Effect of potential dilutive ordinary shares Weighted average number of potential dilutive ordinary shares at 30 June Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Diluted earnings per share CONSOLIDATED 2015 $ (474,000) (4,068,000) (4,542,000) Number 46,212,805 - 2014 $ 1,204,000 472,000 1,676,000 Number 49,502,395 - 46,212,805 49,502,395 Cents Cents (9.83) (9.83) 3.39 3.39 Rights granted to employees (including Key Management Personnel) as described in note 35 are considered to be contingently issuable potential ordinary shares. These potential ordinary shares have not been included in the determination of basic earnings per share. The 1,800,000 performance rights (2014: 5,220,500 rights granted under the ELTSP and the 1,150,000 performance rights) have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were contingent on future events. In order for the convertible notes to be considered dilutive they are required to be dilutive to the continuing operations of the Group. There are 24,000,000 anti-dilutive potential shares outstanding at 30 June 2015. The convertible notes are considered anti-dilutive in the current period as the interest per ordinary share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic earnings per share. 11.

The Convertible Note issue funded Orbital’s acquisition of 50% of REMSAFE Pty Ltd (“REMSAFE”) and the associated working capital requirements of integrating REMSAFE into Orbital, building the order book and expanding the business. Orbital shareholders approved the issue of the Notes at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 21 January 2015. The Convertible Notes mature two years from the date of issue. The coupon interest rate is 10% per annum accruing daily and paid quarterly in arrears, payable in Orbital Shares or cash, at the election of the Note Holder. The Convertible Notes are fully secured pursuant to a general security deed and ranks in priority to any existing security. Each Convertible Note represents 125,000 ordinary shares at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. Note Holders may elect to convert the Notes into Orbital Shares at any time prior to the maturity date. The Notes will be redeemed at face value plus outstanding interest on the maturity date if not redeemed or converted beforehand. The Notes are redeemable after six months at the election of the Company by paying the face value, outstanding interest and an early redemption fee. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes the prevailing conversion price is subject to adjustment in the case of a bonus issue of shares, a capital reconstruction or a pro-rata share issue. On issuance of the Convertible Notes the fair value of the liability component was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent loan without conversion rights. This amount was classified as a financial liability and subsequently measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The remainder of the proceeds was allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in equity. The portion of the transaction costs attributable to the conversion right were deducted from equity. Interest is recognised using the effective interest rate method over the terms of the notes. The effective interest rate is 13.72%. The financial liability reclassified to issued capital on conversion for the period amounted to $366,000 representing the conversion of eight convertible notes during the reporting period.

The face value of the notes outstanding at 30 June 2015 $9,600,000. (b) Other financial liabilities (continued) Loans and advances - secured The Government of Western Australia had previously provided the company with a fully utilised loan facility of $19,000,000 under the terms of a "Development Agreement". During the 2010 year Orbital reached agreement with the WA Government through the Department of Commerce for the restructure of the Non-Interest Bearing Loan. Under the agreed restructure the original loan has been terminated and replaced by a new loan of $14,346,000 with the following terms and conditions. • Term – 2010 to 2025. • Repayments - Commencing May 2010 at $200,000 per annum. • Repayments - Increasing annually to a maximum of $2,100,000 per annum in 2023. • Interest free. The restructured loan’s net fair value utilising a market interest rate of 6.52% was $7,558,000 on initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition the loan is carried at amortised cost. Amortisation for the year ended 30 June 2015 was $540,000 (2013: $533,000). This loan facility is secured by way of a second ranking floating debenture over the whole of the assets and undertakings of the Company. CONSOLIDATED (ii) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss Contingent consideration for business acquisition Total financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Total current other financial liabilities 2015 $'000 - - - 2014 $'000 638 638 638 Contingent Consideration for business acquisition On 27 May 2011, Orbital Autogas Systems Pty Ltd acquired 55% of the voting shares of Sprint Gas (Aust) Pty Ltd, a company incorporated to acquire the operating business of Sprint Gas, an Australian business specialising in the importation and wholesaling of LPG Fuel systems. Concurrently with the entering into of the Business Acquisition Agreement, the Group entered into a Subscription and Shareholders Agreement with the owners of the 45% non-controlling interest in Sprint Gas (Aust) Pty Ltd. As part of the Subscription and Shareholders Agreement Put and Call options were issued over the remaining 45% non-controlling interest. The Put and Call options, exercisable after 30 months, are in nature a forward contract and therefore a present ownership interest is granted. The calculation of the exercise price is based on EBITDA multiples and the call option is subject to a floor price which is net asset value. The Group has accounted for the business combination as though it acquired a 100% interest and has recognised a financial liability to the non-controlling shareholders equal to the fair value of the underlying obligations under the Put and Call options (contingent consideration liability). The underlying obligation under the Put and Call options that gives rise to the contingent consideration liability was initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at fair value through the profit and loss. A gain of $638,000 (2014: $248,000) was recognised in the statement of profit and loss during the current year due to a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration, included in the line item “Other income”. The fair value of the contingent consideration payable was calculated with reference to the estimated future value of the Sprint Gas business, which is based on an estimated average EBITDA multiple. The undiscounted value is discounted at the present value using a market discount rate. The fair value as at 30 June 2015 is $nil due to the loss making position of Sprint Gas. (c) Hedging activities and derivatives The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions. At 30 June 2015 the contractual undiscounted payments related to foreign exchange forward contracts totalled $nil (2014: $2,330,000). The Group pledged $500,000 of its short-term deposits in order to fulfil the collateral requirements for the foreign exchange forward contracts that were in place. 54 55 55 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 12. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) (d) Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits, receivables, payables, and financial liabilities. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk in accordance with the Group's financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security. The Group from time-to-time enters into derivative transactions, principally forward currency contracts. The purpose is to manage the currency risks arising from the Group's operations and its sources of revenue. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest and foreign exchange rates. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including the setting of limits for hedging cover of foreign currency and interest rate risk, credit allowances, and future cash flow forecast projections. Risk Exposures and Responses Interest rate risk The Group's exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's cash, cash equivalents on deposit and term deposits with Australian banks. The primary goal of the Group is to maximize returns on surplus cash, using deposits with maturities of less than 90 days. Management continually monitors the returns on funds invested. The Group also has a term deposit of greater than 90 days and less than 365 days that has been pledged as security to the Group’s bankers for financial arrangements.

The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency. Approximately 29% (FY2014: 29%) of the Group's sales from continuing operations are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating entity making the sale, whilst approximately 9% (FY2014: 8%) of costs from continuing operations are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating entity making the expenditure. With respect to assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling forward foreign currency contracts at spot rates when incurred. The Group does not hold foreign currency positions for trading purposes.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) (d) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) Credit risk Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group's exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets (as outlined in each applicable note). The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure, however the Group does hold receivable insurance where appropriate. It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation. Risk limits are set for each individual customer in accordance with parameters set by management. These risk limits are regularly monitored. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group, other than the research and development grant receivable from the Australian Government. Financial instruments are only invested with a major financial institution to minimise the risk of default of counterparties. An ageing of receivables is included in Note 14. Liquidity risk The external borrowings of the Group consist of : Convertible Note with 10% interest coupons payable quarterly and capital repayable in February 2017. Coupon interest is payable in Orbital shares or cash at the election of the Note Holders. Coupon interest payments and capital repayments reduce when the notes are converted to ordinary shares. Interest free Western Australian Government loan of $14,346,000 repayable in yearly instalments from May 2010 to May 2025. The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs, repayments and interest resulting from recognised financial liabilities as of 30 June 2015. For all obligations the respective undiscounted cash flows for the respective upcoming fiscal years are presented. Cash flows for financial liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2015. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as is possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due and payable without incurring unacceptable losses or risks.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) 13. FAIR VALUES (CONTINUED) (d) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) Credit risk Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group's exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets (as outlined in each applicable note). The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure, however the Group does hold receivable insurance where appropriate. It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation. Risk limits are set for each individual customer in accordance with parameters set by management. These risk limits are regularly monitored. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group, other than the research and development grant receivable from the Australian Government. Financial instruments are only invested with a major financial institution to minimise the risk of default of counterparties. An ageing of receivables is included in Note 14.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments: Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using a discounted cash flow valuation technique with market observable inputs such as foreign exchange forward rates and interest rates. The fair value of the Group’s secured loan is calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at the prevailing market interest rate at reporting date 2015: 12% (2014: 12%). The fair value of the debt component of the convertible note issuance is calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at the prevailing market interest rate at reporting date 2015: 12%. The fair value of the contingent consideration payable was calculated with reference to the estimated future value of the Sprint Gas business, which is based on an estimated average EBITDA multiple. As at 30 June 2014 the undiscounted value was discounted at the present value using a market discount rate of 6.31%. The fair value as at 30 June 2015 is $nil due to the loss making position of the Sprint Gas business. The fair value of the Disposal Group’ assets were classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The fair value was based on the terms of the sale agreement to be executed within the next 12 months. Refer to note 31.

The undiscounted value was discounted to its present value using a market discount rate. Management estimated average EBITDA by reference to the actual results of the business since acquisition and the latest forecasts of future results for the business. This reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration and resulted in a fair value gain of $638,000 (2014: $248,000), which has been reflected in the profit and loss account.

As at 30 June 2015 the value of goodwill recognised is based on a provisional assessment of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. Due to the time period between the acquisition and the end of the reporting period the fair values were not yet finalised as at 30 June 2015. The Group has left the acquisition accounting open pending further adjustment to the fair values of net assets acquired. The initial accounting for the business combination will be finalised within the next financial year. As the acquisition accounting is not finalised, the provisional goodwill recognised has not been tested for impairment as no indicators of impairment exist. Customer contracts Customer contracts were acquired as part of the REMSAFE acquisition and recognised separately from goodwill. The customer contracts are carried at fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

In determining the level of provision required for product warranties the Group has made judgements in respect of the expected performance of the product, number of customers who will actually use the product warranty and how often, and the costs of fulfilling the performance of the product warranty. Historical experience and current knowledge of the performance of products has been used in determining this provision. The movement in the provision is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the line item “loss after tax for the year from discontinued operations”. Surplus lease space provision relates to certain unutilised office space. The provision takes account of rental income the Group would recover by sub-letting the space. In the prior period a sub-lease agreement was entered into and rental from the sub- lease agreement is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the line item “other income”. Surplus lease space provision attributable to the LPG business is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the line item “loss after tax for the year from discontinued operations”. The other provisions account included a provision for restoration obligations relating to SUAS engines sold during the 2013 financial year. In determining the level of provision required for restoration obligations the Group has made judgements in respect of the expected expenditures required to fulfil the obligation. The restoration obligation was completed during the 2014 financial year and the provision balance not utilised was released to the statement of profit or loss in the line item “other income”. 68 69 69 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 26.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Acquisitions in 2015 Acquisition of REMSAFE Pty Ltd On 4 February 2015 Orbital acquired 50% of the voting shares of REMSAFE Pty Ltd (“REMSAFE”) for $5,000,000 cash payment. On 10 February 2015 Orbital provided REMSAFE with $1,000,000 of working capital required to integrate REMSAFE into Orbital, build the order book and expand the business. As a result of the working capital investment Orbital’s equity share in REMSAFE increased from 50% to a majority share of 54.5% with Mr Michael Lane, the founding inventor of REMSAFE, holding the minority 45.5% share. REMSAFE has developed a valuable high voltage electrical isolation system which Orbital believes has the potential to grow into a significant global business. REMSAFE provides a safety solution which also delivers direct cost savings and increases productivity. REMSAFE’s unique technology is protected by strong patents. The REMSAFE acquisition is a key component of the Group’s growth strategy which is focused on identifying and delivering unique innovative business opportunities to generate outstanding returns to shareholders. Orbital’s engineering and commercial strength, and international market presence provides a springboard for REMSAFE to grow in the Australian and International markets. The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method. The Group elected to measure the non-controlling interest in REMSAFE at the proportionate share of its interest in REMSAFE’s identifiable net assets. After initially acquiring 54.5% of the business in February 2015, Orbital increased its interest in REMSAFE to 61.5%. Cash consideration of $2,000,000 was paid for the additional shares issued by REMSAFE Pty Ltd. As at 30 June 2015 the fair values at acquisition were based on provisional assessments of the identifiable assets and liabilities. Due to the time period between acquisition and the end of the reporting period the fair values of customer contracts and patents were not yet finalised as at 30 June 2015. The Group has left the acquisition accounting open pending further adjustment to the fair values of net assets acquired. The initial accounting for the business combination will be finalised within the next financial year. The provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of REMSAFE as at the date of acquisition were: Assets Cash Trade and other receivables Inventories Plant and equipment Intangible assets - customer contracts Liabilities Trade payables and other liabilities Employee benefits Deferred tax liability Total identifiable net assets at provisional fair value Non-controlling interest (44.5% of net assets) Provisional goodwill arising on acquisition Purchase consideration transferred Net cash acquired with the subsidiary Cash paid Net cash flow on acquisition 74 74 Provisional fair values recognised on acquisition $'000 1,259 446 36 36 597 2,374 611 211 116 938 1,436 (654) 5,218 6,000 Cash flow on acquisition 1,259 (6,000) (4,741) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20152015 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 30.

None of the trade receivables have been impaired and it is expected that the full contractual amounts can be collected. From the date of acquisition REMSAFE has contributed $2,281,000 of revenue and a loss of $485,000 to the net profit from continuing operations of the Group. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, revenue from continuing operations would have been $12,101,000 and the loss from continuing operations for the period would have been $576,000. Customer contracts in progress at the acquisition have been recognised as identifiable assets. Provisional goodwill of $5,218,000 recorded in connection with the acquisition is primarily attributable to unrecognised intangibles relating to the REMSAFE product, combined with the pipeline of customer orders. The Group has left the acquisition accounting open pending further adjustment to the fair values of net assets acquired. The initial accounting for the business combination will be finalised within the next financial year. Transaction costs of $188,000 have been expensed and are included in administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss and are part of operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows (2014:$47,000). After initially acquiring 54.5% of the business in February 2015, Orbital increased its interest in REMSAFE to 61.5%. Cash consideration of $2,000,000 was paid for the additional shares issued by REMSAFE Pty Ltd. 31. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On 30 June 2015, the Group publicly announced the decision of its Board of Directors to exit the LPG businesses due to the decline in the LPG market, the resulting lack of sustainable profitability and the recent changes in Orbital’s business focus. The Group will exit both the Sprint Gas Australia (“Sprint Gas”) business and the Orbital Autogas Systems (“OAS”) business. The sale of the net assets of Sprint Gas and the sale of the OAS inventory assets have been combined to form a single co- ordinated plan to exit the loss-making LPG businesses with minimal cost of closure to the Group. The Sprint Gas business exit will be through the sale of the net assets of Sprint Gas to the non-controlling shareholder for no consideration. The OAS business exit will be through the closure of the OAS operations and the transfer of the inventory of the OAS business to Sprint Gas at an agreed value of $527,000. The net assets of Sprint Gas and the OAS inventory have been classified as a disposal group held for sale as at 30 June 2015. The results of both the Sprint Gas business and the OAS business were reported as discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss. The net assets of Sprint Gas were measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and as a result the net assets were impaired in full. The carrying value of the net assets impaired was $1,854,000. The OAS inventory write- down to fair value less costs to sell was $618,000. The fair value was based on the terms of the sale agreement to be executed within the next 12 months. The total impairment charge of $2,472,000 was recognised in the statement of profit or loss as part of the line item “Loss after tax for the year from discontinued operations”. The LPG businesses were included in the Consumer operating segment until 30 June 2014.

(c) Executive Long Term Incentive – Performance Rights Plan based on market capitalisation The Company introduced a new Performance Rights Plan as part of its long term incentive arrangements for senior executives, which was approved by shareholders on 21 October 2014. Under the Performance Rights Plan, performance rights could only be issued if the terms and conditions detailed below are satisfied. A performance right is a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in the Company. Until they are exercised, performance rights: (a) do not give the holder a legal or beneficial interest in shares of the Company; and (b) do not enable participating executives to receive dividends, rights on winding up, voting rights or other shareholder benefits. Performance rights issued under the Performance Rights Plan will be exercisable if: (a) a performance hurdle is met over the periods specified by the Board; or (b) the Board allows early exercise on cessation of employment (see “Cessation of employment” below); or (c) it is determined by the Board in light of specific circumstances. The performance conditions are 100% based on market capitalisation with the following performance timeframes and targets: Tranche Market Capitalisation Fair Value per right Expiry Date 1 2 3 $20 million 23.1 cents $35 million 17.5 cents $60 million 15.3 cents 18 months from the date of issue of the Performance Rights 24 months from the date of issue of the Performance Rights 36 months from the date of issue of the Performance Rights Total Allocation Mr T D Stinson Dr GP Cathcart Mr IG Veitch 500,000 200,000 200,000 500,000 200,000 200,000 500,000 200,000 200,000 1,500,00 600,000 600,000 During the year a total of 900,000 rights under the plan vested for 3 executives (2014: nil).
