OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW CHAIRMAN & CEO REPORT John Welborn Chairman Non-executive Director Todd Alder Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board of Directors, we present the annual report of Orbital Corporation (“Orbital”) for the year ended 30 June 2017. OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL RESULTS The Company faced certain challenges over the past 12 months contributing to financial results below expectations. Revenue of $14,370,000 (2016: $11,751,000) was impacted by interruptions to the UAVE build program and lower than expected sales of REMSAFE hardware. The net loss after tax of $12,251,000 (2016: profit of $1,283,000) includes REMSAFE goodwill impairment of $5,218,000 (2016: $nil). The Company reports a strong balance sheet with cash, receivables and short-term investments of $23,754,000 and net current assets of $19,892,000. FY2017 MILESTONES Despite the disappointing financial result the UAVE business achieved a number of key milestones during the financial year, including the continued shipment of UAV engines to Insitu Inc. (a subsidiary of The Boeing Company), a second $12,000,000 batch order, securing a Long Term Supply Agreement (LTA) worth up to $120,000,000 over a three year period and a new $800,000 engineering contract for the development and further evolution of the N20 engine. In light of the tough market conditions facing REMSAFE the Company removed $1,200,000 of operating costs from the business and launched lower cost automated isolation systems in the new Gen 5 and Mobile product, generating an increasingly positive and broader sales outlook. MANAGEMENT AND BOARD TRANSITION Mr John Poynton retired as a Non-Executive Director in April 2017 after two years on the Board, and Mr Terry Stinson’s role has transitioned to Non-Executive Director as of 11 August 2017 after holding the dual Managing Director and CEO positions with Orbital for the past nine years. Mr Steve Gallagher joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director in April 2017, and Mr Todd Alder who after being appointed CFO & Company Secretary in December 2016 was appointed Managing Director and CEO on 11 August 2017. Following the transition of Mr Alder to Managing Director and CEO was the appointment of Ms Roulė Jones as CFO and Company Secretary. FY2018 OUTLOOK The outlook for Orbital remains positive given the significant UAVE opportunities and broader initiatives being investigated to unlock value within the REMSAFE business. The Chairman and Managing Director would like to thank the ongoing commitment of the Company’s shareholders and staff. 2 2 2017 ANNUAL REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017DIRECTORS’ REPORT  FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017  1.

REMUNERATION OVERVIEW Orbital’s remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain employees and Non-Executive Directors by identifying and rewarding high performers and recognising the contribution of each employee to the growth and success of the Group. Executive members of the KMP may receive a short-term incentive (STI) approved by the Board as reward for exceptional performance in a specific matter of importance. STI amounts of $31,600 were paid during the 2017 financial year (2016: $130,000). Long-term incentive (LTI) awards consisting of performance rights that vest based on attainment of pre-determined performance goals are awarded to selected executives. During the financial year, the Company introduced new performance milestones under the Performance Rights Plan as part of its long-term incentive arrangements for the Managing Director and CEO, which were approved by shareholders on 7 November 2016. During the 2017 financial year, the performance hurdle set in October 2014 of increasing the market capitalisation of the Company to over $60 million was achieved and 900,000 shares vested to three executives. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors of the Company consists only of Directors’ fees. Director fees were not reviewed or adjusted during the 2017 financial year.

REMUNERATION OVERVIEW (CONTINUED) Remuneration strategy  Are aligned to the Group’s business strategy;  Offer competitive remuneration benchmarked against the external market;  Provide strong linkage between individual and Group performance and rewards; and  Align the interests of executives with shareholders through measuring the Company’s market capitalisation. Key changes to remuneration structure in 2017 There were no changes to the remuneration structure of Executives or Directors during the 2017 financial year. 18.3. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE Board The Board reviews and approves remuneration packages and policies applicable to Directors, the 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 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 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 2017 financial year. 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. The Board will not seek any increase for the Non-Executive Director pool at the 2017 AGM. 8 9 9 2017 ANNUAL REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017DIRECTORS’ REPORT  FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017  18.4.

Fees Non-executive Directors do not receive retirement benefits, nor do they participate in any incentive programs. The Chairman of the Board receives a fee of $120,000 (2016: $120,000) and the Non-Executive directors receive a base fee of $60,000 (2016: $120,000). The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 is detailed in Section 18.8 of this report.

If Non-Executive Directors are paid additional fees, how are these additional fees calculated? No. The Non-Executive Directors are not paid any short term incentives, long term incentives, equity based remuneration or termination/retirement benefits From time to time, Non-Executive Directors may be requested to provide additional Non- Executive Director related services. This could include sitting on a due diligence committee or undertaking a special project for the Group. During the year, no additional fees were paid to any of the Non-Executive Directors. Are Non-Executive Directors’ fees going to increase in FY2018? The Board has decided not to increase the Directors’ fees. 18.5. 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 FY2017 comprised 82% fixed remuneration and 18% 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 FY2017 ranged from 85-100% fixed remuneration, 0-10% STI and 0-5% LTI opportunity. In the 2017 financial year, the executive remuneration framework consisted of the following components:   Variable remuneration (STI and LTI) Fixed remuneration The table below illustrates the structure of Orbital’s executive remuneration arrangements: Table 1 – Structure of remuneration arrangements Vehicle Purpose Link to company performance Remuneration component Fixed compensation • • Represented by total fixed remuneration (TFR).

The LTI value is the total accounting expense associated with the grant made during the financial year. Key Management Personnel’s remuneration mix for FY2017 ranged from 85-100% fixed remuneration, 0-10% STI and 0-5% LTI opportunity. In the 2017 financial year, the executive remuneration framework consisted of the following components:  Fixed remuneration  Variable remuneration (STI and LTI) The table below illustrates the structure of Orbital’s executive remuneration arrangements: Table 1 – Structure of remuneration arrangements component Fixed compensation • • Comprises base salary, superannuation contributions and other benefits.

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? When is the STI grant paid? How does the Company’s STI structure support achievement of the Company’s strategy? How are the performance conditions of the STI determined? What are the maximum possible values of award under the STI plan? What was the value of STI paid in the financial year? Is a portion of STI deferred? 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. There are no pre-determined timeframes at which assessments for STI rewards are to be undertaken. 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. The Board has no pre-determined performance criteria against which the amount of a STI is assessed. 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. Discretionary STI cash bonuses of $31,600 were paid during the 2017 financial year. Discretionary STI cash bonuses of $130,000 were paid during the 2016 financial year. No discretionary STI cash bonuses relating to the 2017 or 2016 financial years will become payable in future financial years. Variable remuneration — long-term incentive (LTI) LTI awards are made 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. Remuneration Vehicle Purpose Link to company performance Performance Rights Plan Represented by total Set with reference to role, market and No direct link to company fixed remuneration (TFR). experience. performance. The table below contains a summary of the key features of the Performance Rights Plan (PRP). What is the PRP? How does the PRP align the interests of shareholders and executives? How does the PRP support the retention of executives? 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. The PRP links rewards for the executive KMP to the Company’s strategy to grow shareholder value by increasing the Company’s market capitalisation. The Company’s market capitalisation on the date of calling the AGM to approve the current PRP was $67.2 million. Vesting of shares only occurs if Orbital increases its market capitalisation to $125 million and $200 million respectively. Vesting of shares relating to the prior PRP (2015) occurred during the financial year as Orbital increased its market capitalisation to $60 million. The Company’s market capitalisation on the date of calling the AGM to approve the prior (2015) PRP was $9.4 million. 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. 10 11 11 2017 ANNUAL REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017DIRECTORS’ REPORT  FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017  18.5.

Does the executive obtain the benefit of dividends paid on shares issued under the LTI? What other rights does the holder of vested LTI shares have? 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 performance conditions, which are based 100% on market capitalisation, apply to determine the number of shares (if any) that vest to the Executives. The fair value of the PRP related rights is calculated at the date of grant through utilisation of the assumptions underlying at the grant date of 8 November 2016 (FY2017 PRP) and 22 October 2014 (FY2015 PRP) using the “Hoadley Barrier 1” trinomial option valuation model. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Details in respect of the award are provided in Section 18.9. 18.6. 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.

REPORTING ENTITY The consolidated financial statements of Orbital Corporation Limited (“the Company” or “the Parent”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “the Group”) were authorised for issue by the Company's Directors on 29 August 2017. The Company is a for-profit company limited by shares domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX"). The registered office of the Group is 4 Whipple Street, Balcatta, Western Australia. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of smart technology that delivers improved performance outcomes in the unmanned aerial vehicle, safety and productivity and consumer sectors. Further information on the nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group is provided in the Directors’ Report and note 5. Information on the Group’s structure is provided in Note 27. 2. (a) BASIS OF PREPARATION Statement of Compliance with IFRS The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). (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 AASB. The consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investment in marketable securities which are measured at fair value. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in the financial report and Directors’ Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated. (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. (a) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES New Accounting Standards and Interpretations The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. From 1 July 2016, the Group has adopted all the standards and interpretations effective as at 1 July 2016. 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. 25 25 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3. (b) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Basis of Consolidation (i) Subsidiaries 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 The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee 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 Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights Rights arising from other contractual arrangements 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. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. 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. (ii) Associate The Group accounts for investments in associates using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint arrangement. The Group generally deems they have significant influence if they have over 20% of the voting rights. 26 26 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3. (b) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Basis of Consolidation (continued) (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 borrowings, and trade and other payables. instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and 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. instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expires or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining either 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 in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Other financial assets - refer note 12 (a) Other financial assets comprise of term deposits with financial institutions with maturities between 90 days and 365 days and Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. Subsequent to initial recognition other term deposits are stated at amortised cost. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value represented as other expense (negative net changes in fair value) or other income (positive net changes in fair value) in the statement of profit or loss. 27 27 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3. (d) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Financial Instruments (continued) (i) Non-derivative financial instruments (continued) 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. Long term borrowings - refer note 12 (b) Included in current and non-current liabilities is an amount owing to the Government of Western Australia resulting from a loan restructured in January 2010. 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). (e) Inventories – refer note 15 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. (f) 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 from the date of its acquisition. Plant and equipment are depreciated at 6.67% to 33.3% per year. 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. 28 28 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3.

(g) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. is capitalised if 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 (CGUs), or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU (group of CGUs) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a CGU (group of CGUs) 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. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. (iv) Customer contract based intangible assets Customer contracts acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The cost of the acquisition date. Following initial customer contracts acquired in a business combination is their fair value at recognition, customer contracts are carried at losses. Amortisation is calculated based on the timing of when the benefits are expected to be received from such contracts which ranges from 6 months to 2 years. fair value less accumulated amortisation and impairment (h) Impairment (i) Financial assets 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. 28 29 29 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3. (h) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Impairment (continued) (i) Financial assets (continued) 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 If any such indication exists then the each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. 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 Impairment losses independent from other assets and groups. 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. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. 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 25 (i) Issued capital Share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received. (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. (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. 30 30 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3. (h) Impairment (continued) (i) Financial assets (continued) 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.

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.

Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. 3. (j) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Employee Benefits (continued) (ii) Long service leave - refer note 22 The provision for employee entitlements are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made to the employees using the projected unit credit method. Liabilities expected to be wholly settled within one year after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services are classified as short-term benefits and are measured at the amount due to be paid. The provision for long service leave is measured at the present value of benefits accumulated up to the end of the reporting period. The liability is discounted using an appropriate discount rate. Management requires judgement to determine key assumptions used in the calculation including future increases in salaries and wages, future on-cost rates and future settlement dates of employees' departures. (iii) Defined Contribution Superannuation Fund - refer note 34 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 33 Employees have been offered the right to take up shares in the Company under two plans: (i) Employee Share Plan No.1 and; (ii) Executive Long Term Incentive Plan. The cost of equity settled employee benefits is recognised in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the service and performance conditions are fulfilled. Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the condition being met is assessed as part of the Groups best estimate of the number of shares that will vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within grant date fair value. (k) Provisions – refer note 24 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 and management’s judgement in respect of the expected performance of the product. (l) 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 engineering services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion. Stage of completion is measured by reference to total labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract. When the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered. 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. 30 31 31 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3. (l) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Revenue Recognition (continued) (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 reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. (ii) Deferred income tax expense and liability Deferred tax is provided using the full liability balance sheet 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 reporting 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. 32 32 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3.

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. Revenue is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the (v) Dividends (m) Operating Leases 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. (ii) Deferred income tax expense and liability Deferred tax is provided using the full liability balance sheet 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 reporting 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 Orbital Corporation Limited. 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 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3. (p) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. (q) Goods and Services Tax Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of 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 (ATO) 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. (s) Government Grants – refer note 23 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. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 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 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. 32 33 33 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3. (t) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Business Combinations (continued) 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 a financial asset or financial 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. The Group has classified contingent consideration arising in the current period as equity. Refer note 4 for details of accounting judgments considered for equity classification. (u) Assets held for sale and discontinued operations – refer note 29 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. 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: · · Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical are of operations. Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area 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 29. 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 new and amended Standards and Interpretations which have been issued but are not yet effective have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. Whilst these new and amended Standards and Interpretations are available for early adoption at 30 June 2017, they have not been applied in preparing this financial report. The Group has made a preliminarily assessment of the impact of the new Accounting Standard AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers . A preliminary assessment has been made by considering two main contracts of the Group which comprises 74% of the group. The Group has assessed that accounting for variable consideration under AASB 15 will not have a material impact on the revenue recognition in relation to these key contracts in future periods, rather revenue at the full transaction price will continue to be recognised when control passes to the customer. The Group is still in the process of assessing the full impact of the application of AASB 15 on the Group’s financial statements and at this stage, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable financial estimate of the effect until the group completes the detailed review. As a result, the above preliminary assessment is subject to change. the total revenue of The AASB has issued a new Accounting Standard AASB 16 Leases which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after 1 January 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. This standard requires entities that lease assets to recognise on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The Group’s current operating leases comprise only of real estate. We are currently assessing the impact the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Upon adoption of this standard, we expect the Group's balance sheet to include a right of use asset and liability related to these operating lease arrangements. The Group is yet to make a decision in relation to a transition method for the adoption of the new Accounting Standards AASB 15 and AASB 16. 34 34 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 3.

The amendments require entities to provide disclosures about changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as foreign exchange gains or losses). This Standard clarifies the scope of AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities by specifying that the disclosure requirements apply to an entity’s interests in other entities that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Except for certain trade receivables, an entity initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), on the basis of their contractual cash flows and the business model under which the debt instruments are held. There is a fair value option (FVO) that allows financial assets on initial recognition to be designated as FVTPL if that eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. Equity instruments are generally measured at FVTPL. However, entities have an irrevocable option on an instrument-by- instrument basis to present changes in the fair value of non- trading instruments in other comprehensive income (OCI) without subsequent reclassification to profit or loss. For financial liabilities designated as FVTPL using the FVO, the amount of change in the fair value of such financial liabilities that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation in OCI of the fair value change in respect of the liability’s credit risk would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. All other AASB 139 classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities have been carried forward into AASB 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO. The incurred credit loss model in AASB 139 has been replaced with an expected credit loss model in AASB 9. The requirements for hedge accounting have been amended to more closely align hedge accounting with risk management, establish a more principle-based approach to hedge accounting and address inconsistencies in the hedge accounting model in AASB 139. The Group does not have any hedging relationships and therefore does not expect to be impacted by AASB 9 hedge accounting. The Group is currently still assessing the impact of IFRS 9 classification and measurement on their financial assets. The Group will apply the simplified approach for recognition of impairment losses based on lifetime expected losses.

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 an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with the core principle by applying the following steps: ► Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer ► Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract ► Step 3: Determine the transaction price ► Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract ► Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

AASB Interpret- ation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration AASB 16 Leases The Interpretation clarifies that in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. AASB 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model in a similar way to finance leases under AASB 117 Leases. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’ assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. Lessees will be required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting under AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in AASB 117 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases. * 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. Significant accounting judgements Taxation 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. Refer to note 17 for further information. Impairment of goodwill and plant and equipment is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the The Group determines whether goodwill recoverable amount of the CGU, using a value in use discounted cash flow methodology, to which the goodwill is allocated. At 30 June 2017, the Group has determined that the recoverable amount for the REMSAFE CGU is less than its carrying value, resulting in an impairment charge to the statement of profit or loss of $5,218,269. The recoverable amount has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management. 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. 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, how often the customers will actually use the product warranty, and the costs of fulfilling the performance of the product warranty. Historical experience and current knowledge of the performance of products have been used in determining this provision. The related carrying amounts are disclosed in note 24. Contingent consideration - equity classification In determining the equity classification of contingent consideration with respect to the Remsafe non-controlling interest transaction, the Group made judgements in respect of the performance targets to be met by REMSAFE. The Group deemed each performance target as non-cumulative, which may be paid in two different 12 month periods and resulting in the issue of a fixed number of shares. If a target is not met, no additional shares will be issued. In this scenario, as each of the targets are independent of one another, the arrangement can be regarded as being two distinct contingent consideration arrangements that are assessed separately. As either zero or the requisite number of shares will be issued if each target is met, the obligation in respect of each arrangement is classified as equity under AASB 132. Refer to note 26(c) for further information. 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. 38 38 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 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. 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. Types of products and services as reported in 2017 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles 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 (SUAS) engines business was previously reported as part of the System Sales segment. Due to the expansion of the business to include the broader UAV engines business, the business is now reported as a stand-alone operating segment. Safety & Productivity REMSAFE has developed an electrical isolation system that provides a safety solution which delivers cost savings and increases productivity. The patented isolation system enables plant operators to safely and promptly isolate fixed equipment from its energy source, increasing safety and delivering immediate cost savings. REMSAFE products provide for the highest level of safety for high and low voltage electrical isolations. thereby optimising production, Engineering Services (previously Accelerator) The Engineering Services segment leverages off the engineering expertise, facilities and experience to commercialise innovative and patent protected technologies. Engineering Service contracts are predominantly complete at 30 June 2017, and therefore this business segment will not be reported subsequent to June 2017. 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. Finance costs - including adjustments on provisions due to discounting. Corporate management and finance and administration overhead expenses. 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: · · · · · Research and development costs. 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 In presenting geographical assets are based on the geographical location of the assets. information revenue is based on the geographical location of customers and non-current Major Customers The Group has a number of customers to which it provides both products and services. The UAV supply is to one major customer that accounted for 62% (2016: one customer 16%) of total external revenue. The Safety & Productivity segment supplies to Australian and South African mining companies of which one customer accounted for 32% of total external revenue (2016: 26%). No other customer accounts for more than 10% of revenue. 39 39 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 5.

Orbital Corporation Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated Group. Members of the group have entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement on the basis that the possibility of default is remote. Orbital and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Orbital also recognises current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated Group. The entities have entered into a tax funding arrangement under which the controlled entities fully compensate Orbital for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Orbital for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Orbital under the tax consolidation regime. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the controlled entities’ financial statements. The funding amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables. 42 43 (a) In accordance with research and development tax legislation the Group is entitled to a refundable R&D tax offset accounted for as a government grant.

OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) (a) Other financial assets (continued) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss represents investment in equity shares of a listed company. The Group holds a non-controlling interest in the entity. Fair value of these equity shares are determined by reference to published price quotations in an active market. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value represented as other expense (negative net changes in fair value) or other income (positive net changes in fair value) in the statement of profit or loss. Short term deposits at amortised cost Short term deposits represents term deposits with financial institutions for periods greater than 90 days and less than 365 days earning interest at the respective term deposit rates at time of lodgement. Due to the short-term nature of the deposits, its carrying value approximates fair value. Short term deposits are only invested with a major financial institution to minimise the risk of default by counter parties. The Group has pledged short term deposits of $72,000 (2016: $672,000) held as collateral for performance guarantees under contractual arrangements related to customer agreements and $665,000 (2016: $1,430,000) held as collateral for the financing facilities.

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 2017 was $540,000 (2016: $543,000). The carrying value as at 30 June 2017 is $8,102,000 (2016: $8,279,000), of which $860,000 relates to short term borrowings (2016: $717,000) and $7,242,000 relates to long term borrowings (2016: $7,562,000). This loan facility is secured by way of a first ranking floating debenture over the whole of the assets and undertakings of the Company. 45 45 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 12.

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, liquidity risk and equity price 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 Group’s Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions and the equity portfolio is reviewed by the Group’s senior management on a regular basis. 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.

(c) OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. Maximum exposure to credit risk equals to the carrying amount of these financial assets (as outlined in each applicable note). 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 at 30 June 2017 consist of an 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 2017. 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 2017.

INTANGIBLES AND GOODWILL (CONTINUED) (b) Description of the Group’s intangible assets and goodwill Goodwill Goodwill arose on the acquisition of REMSAFE Pty Ltd on 4 February 2015 ($5,218,000). Customer contracts Customer contracts were acquired as part of the REMSAFE acquisition and recognised separately from goodwill. The customer contracts are carried at cost (fair value at the date of acquisition) less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Following initial recognition, customer contracts are amortised based on the estimated timing of when the benefits are expected to be received from such contracts. (c) Assessment of impairment The Group performed its annual impairment test in June 2017. The Group considered the downturn in large-scale capital expenditures within REMSAFE’s principal market of Western Australian Iron Ore as a primary indicator of impairment. Impairment test for Goodwill REMSAFE The overall decline in capital expenditures within the Western Australian mining industry, in addition to ongoing economic uncertainty, has lead to decreased demand in Remote Isolation Systems. The recoverable amount for the REMSAFE CGU as at 30 June 2017 has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a four year period. The projected cash flows have been updated to reflect the decreased demand for products and services. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 16.41% (2016:15.98%) and cash flows beyond the four year period have not been extrapolated. It was concluded the fair value less costs was lower than value in use. As a result of this analysis, management has recognised an impairment charge of $5,218,269 in the current year against goodwill with a carrying amount of $5,218,269. The impairment charge is recorded in the statement of profit or loss. Key assumptions used in value in use calculations (a) The calculation of value in use for the REMSAFE CGU is most sensitive to the following key assumptions: • • Market share assumptions Discount rates (b) Basis for determining values assigned to key assumptions Market share assumptions – The value in use model has been updated to reflect decreased demand for the REMSAFE technology and therefore assumes lower growth rates in sales volumes compared to prior year projections. Market share growth rates used within the model have primarily been restricted to existing customer’s demand for the REMSAFE technology. Management recognises that the speed of adoption of the REMSAFE technology in new markets may take a number of years. The value assigned to the market share assumption have primarily been based on existing customers’ requirements. Discount rates – The discount rate is based on the company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and is adjusted for risks specific to the cash generating unit to the extent these risks have not been incorporated into the cash flow estimate. 54 54 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20172017 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 19.

The Group completed the divestment of both the Sprint Gas Australia (“Sprint Gas”) business and the Orbital Autogas Systems (“OAS”) business by 30 November 2015. The sale of the net assets of Sprint Gas and the sale of the OAS inventory assets were 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 divestment was executed through the sale of the net assets of Sprint Gas to the non-controlling shareholder for no consideration. The OAS business divestment was executed 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 $468,000, which is being settled through an 18 month payment arrangement. The net assets of Sprint Gas and the OAS inventory were 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 in the previous year. 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 total impairment charge was recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the previous year 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.

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.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report.

On behalf of the Board, JP Welborn Chairman TM Alder Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer Dated at Perth, Western Australia this 29th day of August 2017. 2017 ANNUAL REPORTImpairment assessment of goodwill Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter At 30 June 2017, the Group impaired goodwill of $5.218 million to nil on the consolidated statement of financial position. Impairment of goodwill is significant to the extent that the related impairment represents 43 per cent of the loss from continuing operations. Goodwill was attributed to the acquisition of REMSAFE Pty Ltd, which was treated as a separate cash-generating unit ("CGU”). The Group assesses goodwill for impairment annually. The impairment test requires the Group to exercise judgment to calculate the recoverable amount of the CGU. The Group considers prospective financial information and external market data. Key assumptions and judgments are disclosed in Note 19 of the financial report Our procedures included the evaluation and assessment of the assumptions and methodologies used by the Group in calculating the recoverable amount of the CGU. We involved our valuation specialists to evaluate the key assumptions and methodologies used by the Group. We compared the Group’s assumptions to our own assessments and externally derived data for key inputs such as cost inflation and discount rates. We assessed the procedures of the Group as to the preparation of prospective financial information, which was approved by the Board of Directors of the Group. We evaluated the historical reliability of prior period cash flow forecasts including assessing this against the actual financial performance of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2017. We compared the projected discounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the assets allocated to the CGU. We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to testing goodwill for impairment, as described in Note 19 to the financial report. Recoverability of deferred tax assets Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter At 30 June 2017, the Group carried a deferred tax asset attributed to Australian carry-forward tax losses of $5.507 million (2016: $5.482 million). The Group assessed the deferred tax asset as recoverable for the reasons set out in Note 17 of the financial report. The recoverability of a deferred tax asset is significant as the existence of unused tax losses is an indicator that future taxable profits may not be available against which unused tax losses may be utilised. We compared the Group’s assumptions associated with market data to our own assessments and externally derived data for key inputs such as the long-term USD/AUD exchange rate and cost inflation. We performed a sensitivity analysis to assess the headroom of the Group’s estimate of future taxable income against deferred tax assets recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position and to evaluate the implication of uncertainty around future performance. We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related deferred tax assets, as described in Note 17 to the financial report. Contingent consideration Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter On 13 October 2016, the Group acquired the remaining 38.50% minority interest in REMSAFE Pty Ltd for 1.000 million ordinary shares in the Group. Contingent consideration of 4.000 million shares in the Group will be payable, subject to the satisfaction of performance hurdles as described in Note 26 to the financial report. At 30 June 2017, contingent consideration of $3.440 million (2016: Nil) was recognised to equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. The recognition of contingent consideration involves judgment to determine whether the contingent consideration should be recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position as it involves estimation of performance targets related to future sales. We inspected the executed Shares Sale Agreement to understand the terms of the contingent consideration and performance targets related to future sales. We evaluated the Group’s assessment of meeting these performance targets. We evaluated whether the terms of the contingent consideration satisfied the definition of an equity instrument in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard - AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation. We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to contingent consideration, as described in Note 26 to the financial report. 72 A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 72 2017 ANNUAL REPORTImpairment assessment of goodwill Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter At 30 June 2017, the Group impaired goodwill of $5.218 Our procedures included the evaluation and assessment of the million to nil on the consolidated statement of financial assumptions and methodologies used by the Group in position.

We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to contingent consideration, as described in Note 26 to the financial report. The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s 2017 Annual Report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: ► Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 74 A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 74 2017 ANNUAL REPORT► Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. ► ► Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
