This revenue included 12 months contribution from Civilbuild, confirming the decision to make the acquisition and demonstrating its ability to be an important contributor to the Group’s profitability in the future. The revenue included several large tank construction projects and a strong contribution from maintenance operations. It is pleasing that the decision to compete for work in PNG and the Pacific Islands contributed to the revenue for the year. The net loss after tax of $2.84 million is a disappointing outcome. Two projects incurred significant client delays and increased costs which contributed to this loss. The Group has developed a good understanding of the underlying issues and has put in place measures to mitigate such issues in future. 22nd August 2018 The restructure underway will deliver long term benefits to the Group. The objective is to position the business to be leaner and more agile so that it can operate profitably in the current competitive and cyclical marketplace. On 6 September 2017, Saunders successfully completed a placement to institutional investors of 5.5 million new shares at $0.50 each to raise a gross amount of $2.75 million. The placement received strong support from existing institutional shareholders as well as new institutional and sophisticated investors. On 12 October 2017, Saunders announced that it had completed a 1 for 8 underwritten rights issue and 11.60 million new shares at $0.50 per share were issued to raise a gross amount of $5.80 million. The rights issues was strongly supported by Saunders shareholders and was 33% oversubscribed. The placement and rights issue together raised a net amount of $7.9 million cash after the costs of the capital raising. The total dividend for the year was 1 cent per share, this being the interim dividend paid in September 2017. No final dividend is being paid. The safety of our employees is our highest priority and we continually review safety performance and invest in improvements of the safety processes and systems. I am pleased that proactive and ongoing management and employee involvement has enabled the Group to achieve a 12% reduction in the TRIFR key performance indicator. I wish to thank my fellow directors and on behalf of the board, I wish to thank all the Group’s employees for their efforts during the year. The above loss also includes a provision of $1.45 million for a restructure of the tank related business and processes, which is being progressively rolled out.

DIRECTORS The following persons are directors of Saunders International Limited: Timothy Burnett Mark Benson Malcolm McComas Gregory Fletcher The above-named directors held office during the whole of the financial year and since the end of the financial year up the date of this report. COMPANY SECRETARY Steven Dadich was Company Secretary during the whole year and up to the date of this report. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES During the financial year, the principal activities of Saunders were the design, construction and maintenance of bulk liquid storage facilities, tanks and road and rail bridges. The Group also manufactures precast concrete products for transport infrastructure projects and provides a range of specialized services for the maintenance of commercial, industrial and marine infrastructure and assets. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS A summary of the revenues and results is as follows: - Revenue (Loss)/Profit before restructure costs Restructure costs (Loss)/Profit after restructure costs Income tax benefit / (expense) 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 75,368 45,805 (2,766) 1,336 (1,447) - (4,213) 1,336 1,373 92 (Loss)/Profit attributable to the members of Saunders International Limited (2,840) 1,428 (Loss)/Profit attributable to the members of Saunders International Limited (2,840) 1,428 Add: Restructure costs net of tax 1,013 - Underlying (Loss)/Profit excluding restructure costs net of tax (1,827) 1,428 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 7 Saunders International Limited Directors’ Report Operating and Financial Review Over this past year we have achieved significant growth in revenue with our full year revenue at $75.37 million which was a 64.5% increase on the prior year (FY2017: $45.81 million). We believe that our strategic position as a market leader in the bulk liquid storage sector and our diversification strategy into the transport infrastructure sector will continue to provide growth opportunities over the coming years. This increased revenue is a result of the full year of Civilbuild’s contribution, multiple lar ge tank construction projects both nationally and internationally and continued strong performance from our maintenance operations in FY2018. The Group’s decision to enter construction and maintenance work in PNG is paying dividends with one project complete and the other nearing practical completion. During the year we also undertook a tank construction project in New Caledonia. The group will continue to pursue opportunities in the pacific region and build on its current success. Operating and Financial Review The result has been primarily impacted by two loss -making projects, due mainly to client delays and increased cost to complete these projects. Practical completion has now been achieved on one of these jobs in Victoria and a provision has been made in respect to the other job in NSW that is ongoing. The financial result also includes a provision of $1.45 million for a significant restructure, with the underlying result being a net loss after tax of $1.83 million. During the year, the Group developed a business improvement plan to improve the tank related business processes and project delivery performance. The restructure has commenced by 30 June 2018 and involves significant changes and improvements to position the Group to operate profitably in the current competitive and cyclical market conditions. The lo ng-term benefits will enable the business to be more agile and innovative. A busi ness improvement manager has been engaged to ensure this process is implemented effectively. The loss per share was 3.03 cents, a 272.2% decrease on FY2017 (1.76 cents earnings per share). Cash outflows from operating activities were $ 1.37 million, a 328.1% decrease on FY2017 ($0.32 million outflows), driven mainly by the two loss making projects mentioned above. The directors consider the Group to be in a strong financial position at year end with cash and cash equivalents of $12.38 million (FY2017: $10.94 million). The cash and cash equivalents of 30 June 2018 is equivalent to 13.23 cents per share (FY2017: 13.50 cents per share) and the Group has no interest-bearing loans. The group has repaid a $2.50 million interest free working capital loan from the previous Civilbuild owners. The net tangible assets per share is 23.12 cents (FY2017: 23.07cents). On the 6 September 2017, Saunders successfully completed a placement to institutional investors of 5.50 million new shares at $0.50 each to raise a gross amount of $2.75 million. On 12 October 2017, Saunders announced that it had completed a 1 for 8 underw ritten rights issue and 11.59 million new shares at $0.50 per share were issued to raise a gross amount of approximately $5.70 million. The placement and the rights issue were strongly supported by current shareholders and institutions with interest generated from new institutions for the placement. Outlook In recent months Saunders has secured $10.1 million in new and extended contracts bringing our current order book to $42.4 million at 30 June 2018. Tendering activity shows the value of live tenders at $170. 87 million. The pipeline (yet to be tendered) is at $339.32 million. Our international projects in Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia, have performed well with the business tendering further opportunities with these clients. Whilst Saunders management is expecting market conditions to remain challenging in the short term in our tank construction group, we are confident that our expansion into the mining and infrastructure sector and the recent business improvement process will deliver positive results over the coming years through increased pipeline and sound operational delivery. The outlook for the Civilbuild is positive with a strong pipeline of suitable opportunities emerging from continuing and new road and rail infrastructure projects in NSW. Employees The Group’s total workforce average was approximately 212 an increas e of 15% on 12 months earlier. The increase in employee numbers is due to the increased levels of activity in the infrastructure and tank construction groups. Saunders remain focused on attracting, developing and retaining high calibre employee s who live our values and actively contribute to the achievement of our vision and strategic objectives. The directors wish to recognise and thank the contribution made by all employees during this year. 8 Saunders International Limited Directors’ Report Safety The safety and welfare of our employees is our highest priority and is a cornerstone of all the Group’s activities. The business is continually reviewing current practises with a view to improve current processes and systems. We are currently evaluating an enterprise wide Loss Prevention System. Continued management focus and active employee involvement helped the Group to an improved safety result over the previous year with a reduction of 12% in our TRIFR (FY2017 19% reduction on previous year). Earnings per share The basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares. This shows the basic losses per share at 3.03 cents (2017: 1.76 cents earnings per share) and the diluted losses per share at 3.03 cents (2017: 1.76 cents earnings per share). DIVIDEND The Board has declared that due to the financial performance in FY2018 there will not be a final dividend payable for FY2018. (FY2017 final dividend 1.0 cents per share).

The Remuneration Report sets out, in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act: (i) the Group’s governance relating to remuneration, (ii) the policy for determining the nature and amount or value of remuneration of key management personnel; (iii) the various components or framework of that remuneration; (iv) the prescribed details relating to the amount or value paid to key management personnel, as well as a description of any performance conditions; (v) the relationship between the policy and the performance of the Group. Key management personnel are the non-executive directors, the executive directors and employees who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity. Remuneration Policy and Governance The board of directors, through the Remuneration Committee, review and approve remuneration of the non-executive directors, the managing director and key management personnel. Remuneration policy is determined by the needs of the Group and the individual talents, capabilities and experience of relevant executives, and the need to attract and retain talent are considered important factors in assessing remuneration. Non-executive Directors Non-executive directors are paid fees and where applicable compulsory superannuation contributions are made on their behalf. The current fees are based on the level of fees for comparable listed companies and were reviewed during the year. The non-executive directors have not been granted options and have not participated in the Employee Share Plan or the Performance Rights Plan. Managing Director The managing director is remunerated on a salary package basis which is a component of a formal employment contract. The salary package is considered to be appropriate for the experience and expertise needed for the position and is comparable to other similar sized companies and business units of larger companies. The salary package contains a fixed component and a variable bonus component. The bonus is based on an annual performance appraisal as conducted by the remuneration committee of the board of directors. The performance is measured against a range of objectives set annually by the board. The important objectives are safety, quality, personnel development, quantitative Group financial performance and certain other (subjective and objective) criteria. The managing director has also participated in the Employee Share Plan and the Performance Rights Plan. Mark Benson holds 450,000 options within The Employee Share Plan and 859,943 performance rights under the Saunders International Performance Rights Plan. Key Management Personnel Key management personnel are remunerated on salary packages which are considered appropriate for the positions they hold and their experience. The remuneration includes a variable bonus which is determined annually based upon Group and individual performance. Key management personnel as disclosed on page 14 of the remuneration report have participated in the Employee Share Plan. Long Term Incentive The board of directors have considered the issue of long term incentive as a component of the remuneration of executive directors and key management personnel. Saunders operates two Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) plans, which are described below: • Employee Share Plan • Performance Rights Plan As of the date of this report a number of executive officers’ own shares in the Group or interests via the Employee Share Plan and the Performance Rights Plan. Key management personnel, who are not directors, collectively own approximately 675,000 shares and have an interest in 533,750 shares under the Employee Share Plan. In addition, other employees own 542,500 shares. The breadth and depth of share ownership fosters an alignment of objectives between shareholders and directors and management of the Group. 11 Saunders International Limited Directors’ Report AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT (Cont’d) Employee Share Plan Under the Employee Share Plan (ESP), the Group provides interest free loans to employees to acquire shares in Saunders International Limited, at a specified price per share. The loans are secured by the shares acquired by the eligible employees. The shares will vest and the loans will be repaid, upon a specified anniversary of the issue of the shares. If an eligible employee’s employment with the Group is terminated prior to the specified anniversary of the issue of the shares, the shares will be forfeited, and the Group will be entitled to the total amount raised pursuant to the divestment of the shares. The shares are accounted for as in substance options. Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of Saunders International Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither right to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. During the year 153,750 options were granted to Key Management Personnel under the ESP. The aggregate fair value of the options granted is $31,270 as set out on page 15. Performance Right Plan The Saunders International Rights Plan was approved by the Board and approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in November 2015. The features of the long-term incentive comprise the grant of equity in the form of Performance Rights which vest over a three year period. The maximum number of Performance Rights will vest only if stretch objectives for each tranche are achieved. Half of the Performance Rights will vest if the target objectives are achieved. The end of the measurement period for a tranche of Performance Rights will be extended by up to two years at the Board’s discretion if significantly less than target vesting would have been achieved for that tranche at the end of the measurement period, adjusted for the pro-rata increase in hurdles to take into account the additional time. The two vesting conditions that will be used will be relative total shareholder return (RTSR) and normalised earnings per share growth (NEPSG). RTSR will be measured by comparing the Group’s TSR over the measurement period with the TSRs achieved by companies that are in a comparator group and remain listed on the ASX. TSR is the percentage return generated from an investment in a Group’s shares over the measurement period assuming that dividends are reinvested into the Group’s shares. NEPSG will be assessed as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflected in the increase in normalised earnings per share (EPS) from the base year (FY2016) for tranches 1 to 8 and (FY2017) for tranches 9 and 10 to normalised EPS for the final year of the measurement period. Normalised EPS will relate to normal operations and will exclude abnormal items as determined by the Board in its discretion. For the phase in tranches where the measurement period is less than three years, performance will be evaluated by the Board’s assessment of the establishment of strategic foundations for superior TSR and NESPG over the long term. For future grants, it is currently intended that the qualitative vesting conditions will be removed (but retaining TSR and NESPG), and that measurement periods will be no shorter than 3 years. The vesting scale will be applied to the tranches subject to objective measurement of Saunders performing relative to the comparator group and NEPSG, as appropriate, with the vesting scale ranging continuously from 0% for very poor performance to 100% for very good performance with 50% for on-target performance. The long-term incentive is aimed at aligning remuneration with the longer-term performance of the Group and retaining the long-term services of the key management personnel. During the year 419,753 Performance Rights were granted to the CEO under the LTI Plan. The aggregate fair value of the Performance Rights granted is $117,903 as set out on page 15. 12 Saunders International Limited Directors’ Report AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT (Cont’d) Key Terms of Employment Contracts The Group entered into an executive service agreement with Mark Benson as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer effective 5 October 2015. The remuneration component of the new agreement is in line with relevant industry comparables. The variable component (Performance Bonus) can range anywhere between 0% to 60% of the fixed component based on performance measured against a range of key performance indicators and targets, set annually by the directors. The attainment of realistically achievable performance and targets on a weighted average measure would result in a bonus of 30% of the fixed component and bonus above and below this would result from overall superior or poorer performance. The executive service agreement contains the following key terms: - Annual Salary: Total fixed remuneration of $510,000 Performance Bonus: Long Term Incentive: Variable, ranging from 0% to 60% of total fixed annual remuneration, based on performance measured against a range of key performance indicators Variable, ranging from 0% to 40% of total fixed annual remuneration, based on performance measured against a range of key performance indicators Notice Period: Six months’ notice Executive officers are employed under ongoing employment arrangements. Their employment thus entails between one to three months’ notice. This is considered appropriate because they have many years of service with the Group and are shareholders of the Group. Relationship between Remuneration Policy and Company Performance The remuneration of executive officers contains an annual cash bonus. The total cash bonus paid in a year is discretionary and is closely related to and determined by the current profit levels of the Group. Executive officer’s remuneration is aligned with the long-term Group performance via the shareholdings that these individuals retain in the Group.

Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. 20 Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter Recognition of revenue and work in progress on construction contracts Our procedures included, but were not limited to: Refer to Note 1(b) ‘Construction Contracts’, Note 1(h) ‘Revenue’, Note 2 ‘Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty’, Note 3 ‘Revenue’ and Note 10 ‘Construction Contracts’. • • As at 30 June 2018 the Group’s revenue from construction contracts is $75.3 million. Construction revenue is recognised by management after assessing all factors relevant to each contract. Significant management estimation is required in assessing the following: • • • • Estimation of total contract revenue, including determination of contractual entitlement and assessment of the probability of customer approval of variations and acceptance of claims; Estimation of total contract costs, including revisions to total forecast costs for events or conditions that occur during the performance of the contract, or are expected to occur to complete the contract; Estimation of project contingencies; and Estimation of stage of completion including determination of project completion date. Evaluating management’s processes and key controls in respect of the recognition of revenue and work in progress on construction contracts; and Testing a sample of contracts and: • agreed the contract terms to the initial contract price; tested contractual entitlements for changes, variations and claims recognised within contract revenue to supporting documentation, and by reference to the underlying contract, assessed management’s basis for estimates of unapproved variations and claims brought to account within contract revenue, tested a sample of costs incurred to date to supporting documentation; assessed the forecast costs to complete through discussion and challenge of project managers and finance personnel; recalculated the percentage of completion based on costs incurred to date relative to total forecast costs; assessed appropriateness of contingency allowances within forecast costs; evaluated exposure to liquidated damages for late delivery of works; and challenged management’s ability to forecast margins on contracts by analysing the accuracy of previous margin forecasts to actual outcomes. • • • • • • • • We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in Notes 1(b), 1(h), 2, 3 and 10 to the financial statements. Recognition of restructuring provision Our procedures included, but were not limited to: Refer to Note 11 ‘Provisions’. As at 30 June 2018 the Group has recognised a provision for restructuring for $1.4 million. In considering whether a constructive obligation to restructure has arisen, management have had regard to the detailed formal plan for the restructure and actions taken to raise a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. • • • • Evaluating whether the requirements for raising a restructuring provision are in accordance with the relevant accounting standards; Reading the formal restructure plan prepared by management and considering whether the information is sufficiently detailed to meet the constructive obligation required to recognise a restructuring provision; Verifying with management and obtaining evidence to support that a valid expectation has been raised in those affected by the restructure; and Assessing the reasonableness of the estimated costs associated with the various components of the restructuring provision to supporting information. We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in Note 11 to the financial statements 21 Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, 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 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 ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has 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 judgement 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. 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 Group’s 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. 22 • 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’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, t he 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 w ith 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 with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period 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. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 11 to 17 of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2018. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Saunders International Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in The directors of accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Statement of Compliance The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law. For the purpose of preparing the financial statements, the Group is a for-profit entity. Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards (‘AAS’). Compliance with AAS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 22 August 2018. Basis of Preparation The financial statements for the Group have been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The Group is of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the directors’ report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Adoption of new and revised accounting standards In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. There has been no material impact of these changes on the Group's accounting policies. Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective. Management is still assessing the impact on reported results on adoption of these pronouncements. Adoption of these pronouncements may result in changes to information currently disclosed in the financial statement. The Group does not intend to adopt any of these pronouncements before their effective dates. Standard Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after Expected to be initially applied in the financial year ending AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 1 January 2018 30 June 2019 AASB 16 Leases 1 January 2019 30 June 2020 AASB 9 Financial Instruments 1 January 2018 30 June 2019 AASB 2014-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Agriculture: Bearer Plants 1 January 2018 30 June 2019 AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions 1 January 2018 30 June 2019 1 January 2018 30 June 2019 AASB Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration 1 January 2018 30 June 2019 AASB 17 Insurance Contracts 1 January 2021 30 June 2021 IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments 1 January 2019 30 June 2020 29 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements Impact of adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 Financial Instruments (revised December 2014) and AASB 2014- 7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014). This standard replaces AA SB 13 9 Financial Instruments: Re cognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculation of impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from AASB 139. The standard will become mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018 . The Group does not intend to early adopt the standard. Retrospective application is required with some exceptions. Restatement of comparatives is not required; however, the comparative period can be restated if it can be done so without the use of hindsight. The Group has undertaken an assessment of the classification and measurement impacts of the new standard but does not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on the classification of its financial assets. Impact of adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining the timing and quantum of revenue recognised. It replaces existing guidance, including AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity shall recognise revenue when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. This standard will become mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Significant judgments and estimates are used in determining the impact, such as the assessment of the probability of customer approval of variations and acceptance of claims, estimation of project completion date and assumed levels of project execution productivity. The implementation project is ongoing and therefore all impacts are current estimates which are subject to finalisation prior to final implementation Construction revenue The contractual terms and the way in which the Group operates its construction contracts is predominantly derived from projects containing one p erformance obligation. Co ntracted revenue will continue to be recognised over time, however the new s tandard provides new requirements for variable consideration such as incentives, as well as accounting for claims and variations as contr act modifications which all impart a higher threshold of probability for recognition. Revenue is currently recognised when it is probable that work performed will result in revenue whereas under the new standard, revenue is recognised when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur for these odifications. Services revenue Services revenue arises from maintenance and other services supplied to infrastructure assets and facilities which may involve a range of services and processes. Under AASB 15, these are predominantly to be recognised over time with reference to inputs on satisfaction of the performance obligations. The services that have been determined to be one performance obligation are highly inter -related and fulfilled over time therefore revenue continues to be recognised over time. As with construction revenue, incentives, variations and claims exist which are subject to the same higher threshold criteria of only recognising revenue to the extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not happen. Tender costs & contract costs Currently under AASB 111 Construction Contracts, costs incurred during the tender process are capitalised within net contract debtors when it is deemed probable the cont ract will be won. Under the new standard costs can only be capitalised if they are both expected to be recovered and either would not have been incurred if the contract had not been won or if they are intrinsic to the delivery of a project. Conclusion The expectation is that the above adjustments, across all controlled entities, are accounted for as a cumulative catch up on the original contract under AASB 15. T he Group has analysed each contract and determined t he higher recognition thresholds in the new standard might lead to a currently estimated adjustment reducing equity by around $0.61 million (after tax). The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation, particularly in relation to key judgements and future revenue expected to be generated. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the Group’s disclosure about its revenue from contracts with customers and associated as sets, particularly in the year of adoption of the new standard. AASB 15 needs to be implemented either fully retrospectively, which would require restatement of comparatives, or using the cumulative effect method, which would not require a restatement of comparatives, upon the effective date of 1 July 2018. AASB 15 contains a number of practical expedients for the full retrospective approach including the option to omit the restatement impact of completed contracts that begin and end within the same annual reporting period and/or completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Group is in the process of assessing the available options for transition but expects to adopt a modified retrospective approach on 1 July 2018. 30 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements Impact of adoption of AASB 16 Leases AASB 16 Leases specifies how to recognise, measure and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for almost all leases. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases. AASB 16 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and replaces AASB 117 Leases and the related interpretations. As at the reporting date, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $0.4 million, refer to Note 18: Leases. The Group manages its owned and leased assets to ensure there is an appropriate level of equipment to meet its current obligations and to tender for new work. The decision as to whether to lease or purchase an asset is dependent on a broad range of considerations at the time including financing, risk management and operational strategies following the anticipated completion of a project. Some of the operating leases currently held expire prior to the implementation of the standard and decisions on future leases will be made as projects are tendered for. As such the Group has not finalised its quantification of the effect of the new standard, however the following impacts are expected: - the total assets and liabilities on the balance sheet will increase with a decrease in total net assets, due to the reduction of the capitalised asset being on a straight-line basis whilst the liability reduces by the principal amount of repayments. Net current assets will show a decrease due to an element of the liability being disclosed as a current liability; - the straight-line operating lease expense will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities; - interest expenses will increase due to the unwinding of the effective interest rate implicit in the lease. Interest expense will be greater earlier in a leases life due to the higher principal value causing profit variability over the course of a lease life. This effect maybe partially mitigated due to a number of leases held in the Group at different stages of their terms; and - repayment of the principal portion of all lease liabilities will be classified as financing activities. AASB 16 needs to be implemented retrospectively, either with the restatement of comparatives or with the cumulative impact of application recognised as at 1 July 2019 under the modified retrospective approach. AASB 16 contains a number of practical expedients, one of which permits the classification of existing contracts as leases under current accounting standards to be carried over to AASB 16. Under the modified retrospective approach, on a lease- by-lease basis, the right of use of an asset may be deemed to be equivalent to the liability at transition or calculated retrospectively as at inception of the lease. The Group is in the process of assessing the available options for transition but expects to adopt a modified retrospective approach on 1 July 2019. (a) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash of the Group comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-t erm, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (b) Construction Contracts When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the statement of financial position date, as measured by the proportion of that contract costs incurred for work performed to date in relation to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. (c) Employee Benefits A liability of the Group is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. 31 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (d) Income Tax Current Tax Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Deferred Tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the financial statements. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Current and Deferred Tax for the Period Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in profit and loss, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess. (e) Leased Assets Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. (f) Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Note 7 provides more detail. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis. Freehold Land is not depreciated. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation: - Buildings Plant and Equipment Office Furniture and Equipment 40 years 3 – 20 years 3 – 7 years (g) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows. 32 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (g) Provisions (cont.) When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectations in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. The measurement of a restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with ongoing activities of the entity. (h) Revenue Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Rendering of services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. Revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are derived and direct expenses incurred. Revenue from construction contracts is recognised in accordance with the accounting policy outlined in Note 1(b). Interest revenue Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset. (i) Financial Assets Loans and receivables Trade receivables, loans and other receivables are recorded at amortised cost less impairment. (j) Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows. (k) Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to det ermine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to se ll and value in u se. In assessing v alue in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre -tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash -generating unit) is redu ced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment or loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 33 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (l) Contributed Equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of income tax. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. (m) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: - has power over the investee; - is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and - has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses 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 listed above. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including: - the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; - potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; - rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and - any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non- controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a 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 intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non- controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable AASB’s). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 139, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture. 34 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (n) Business combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that: - deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes and AASB 119 respectively; liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with AASB 2 at the acquisition date); and assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard. - - Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another AASB. When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with AASB 139, or AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date. (o) Share Based Payments Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by use of a Black-Scholes-Mertin model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with other parties are measured at the fair value of the goods and services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date. 35 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (p) Comparative amounts When required by accounting standards, comparative amounts have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of Saunders’ accounting policies, which are described in Note 1, the directors of the Group are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an 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. Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Construction contracts Construction revenue is recognised by management after assessing all factors relevant to each contract. Significant management estimation is required in assessing the following: • • • • Estimation of total contract revenue, including determination of contractual entitlement and assessment of the probability of customer approval of variations and acceptance of claims; Estimation of total contract costs, including revisions to total forecast costs for events or conditions that occur during the performance of the contract, or are expected to occur to complete the contract; Estimation of project contingencies; and Estimation of stage of completion including determination of project complete date. Restructuring provision A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectations in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. The measurement of a restructuring provision includes only the estimated direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with ongoing activities of the entity. 36 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.

Under the ESP, the Group provides interest free loans to employees to acquire shares in Saunders International Limited, at a specified price per share. The loans are secured by the shares acquired by the eligible employees. The shares will vest and the loans will be repaid, upon a specified anniversary of the issue of the shares. If an eligible employee’s employment with the Group is terminated prior to the specified anniversary of the issue of the shares, the shares will be forfeited, and the Group will be entitled to the total amount raised pursuant to the divestment of the shares. The shares are accounted for as in substance options. Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of Saunders International Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. At balance date, a total of 10 tranches of the ESP have been issued. Tranche 4: During the financial year 70,000 shares forfeited. The tranche has been modified to vest February 2019. Tranche 5: During the financial year 70,000 shares forfeited. The tranche has been modified to vest February 2019. Tranche 6: During the financial year 60,000 shares forfeited. Tranche 7: Offer of 200,000 in October 2015 with all offers accepted. Tranche 8: Offer of 400,000 in January 2016 with all offers accepted. Tranche 9: During the financial year 95,000 shares forfeited. Tranche 10: During the financial year 140,000 shares forfeited. Tranche 11: Offer of 173,125 in October 2017 with all offers accepted. During the financial year 26,875 shares forfeited. Tranche 12: Offer of Offer of 310,000 in February 2018 with all offers accepted. During the financial year 110,000 shares forfeited. The fair value of the share options granted during the financial year is included in below table. Options have been valued using the Black Scholes pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility over the past 3 years. Two individual employees hold more than 200,000 options under the ESP. 43 Details of the fair value assumptions used are as follows: Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements Tranche 4 Tranche 5 Tranche 6 Tranche 7 Tranche 8 Tranche 9 Tranche 10 Tranche 11 Tranche 12 Grant Date Feb 2013 Feb 2014 Feb 2015 Oct 2015 Jan 2016 Feb 2016 Feb 2017 Oct 2017 Feb 2018 Grant Price $0.83 $0.85 $0.72 $0.59 $0.58 $0.58 $0.58 $0.50 $0.59 Opening Volume 150,000 150,000 140,000 200,000 400,000 210,000 355,000 - - New grants - - - Forfeitures (70,000) (70,000) (60,000) - - - - - - 173,125 320,000 (95,000) (140,000) (26,875) (110,000) Closing Volume Exercise Price Expected Volatility 80,000 80,000 80,000 200,000 400,000 115,000 215,000 146,250 210,000 $0.83 45% $0.85 45% $0.72 45% $0.59 45% $0.58 45% $0.58 45% $0.58 45% $0.50 45% $0.59 45% Option Life 4 years 4 years 4 years 4 years 4 years 4 years 4 years 4 years 4 years Dividend Yield Risk Free Interest Rate Grant date fair value 0% 3.00% $0.39 0% 5.15% $0.39 0% 6.25% $0.31 0% 1.88% $0.22 0% 2.05% $0.22 0% 1.72% $0.21 0% 2.00% $0.22 0% 2.75% $0.19 0% 2.82% $0.23 There has been no alteration of the terms and conditions of the above share-based payment arrangements since the grant date, except for an extension of Tranche 4 and Tranche 5 until February 2019 as set out above. 44 Movement in share options during the year The following reconciles the share options outstanding at the beginning and end of the year.

The features of the long-term incentive comprises the grant of equity in the form of Performance Rights which vest over a three year period. The maximum number of Performance Rights will vest only if stretch objectives for each tranche are achieved. Half of the Performance Rights will vest if the target objectives are achieved. The end of the measurement period for a tranche of Performance Rights will be extended by up to two years at the Board’s discretion if significantly less than target vesting would have been achieved for that tranche at the end of the measurement period, adjusted for the pro-rata increase in hurdles to take into account the additional time. The two vesting conditions that will be used will be relative total shareholder return (RTSR) and normalised earnings per share growth (NEPSG). RTSR will be measured by comparing the Group’s TSR over the measurement period with the TSRs achieved by companies that are in a comparator group and remain listed on the ASX. TSR is the percentage return generated from an investment in a Group’s shares over the measurement period assuming that dividends are reinvested into the Group’s shares. NEPSG will be assessed as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflected in the increase in normalised earnings per share (EPS) from the base year (FY2016) for tranches 1 to 8 and (FY2017) for tranches 9 and 10 to normalised EPS for the final year of the measurement period. Normalised EPS will relate to normal operations and will exclude abnormal items as determined by the Board in its discretion. For the phase in tranches where the measurement period is less than three years, performance will be evaluated by the Board’s assessment of the establishment of strategic foundations for superior TSR and NESPG over the long term. For future grants, it is currently intended that the qualitative vesting conditions will be removed (but retaining TSR and NESPG), and that measurement periods will be no shorter than 3 years. The vesting scale will be applied to the tranches subject to objective measurement of Saunders performing relative to the comparator group and NEPSG, as appropriate, with the vesting scale ranging continuously from 0% for very poor performance to 100% for very good performance with 50% for on-target performance. The long-term incentive is aimed at aligning remuneration with the longer term performance of the Group and retaining the long-term services of the key management personnel. 45 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements The Managing Director and certain Key Management Personnel participate in the Saunders International Rights Plan. This plan is part of the long term incentive component of the respective remuneration packages. The total number of Performance Rights issued under the plans is 2,283,338 of which 1,047,770 have vested as at 30 June 2018.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Group has three significant categories of financial instruments which are described below together with the policies and risk management processes which the Group utilises: Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (a) Cash and cash equivalents The Group deposits its cash and cash equivalents with Australian banks. Funds can be deposited in cheque accounts, cash management accounts and term deposits. The policy is to utilise at least two Australian banks for cash management accounts and term deposits. The policy with term deposits is to provide for liquidity with a range of maturities up to 6 months. (b) Debtors and credit risk management The Group has a credit risk policy to protect against the risk of debtor default. The majority of the Group’s debtors are long term customers and are multinational oil and gas companies, government authorities and large Australian corporations where the credit risk is considered to be low. New customers are assessed for credit risk using credit references and reports from credit agencies as necessary. (c) Bank guarantees The Group has a preference to provide bank guarantees to customers in lieu of the cash retention required under contracts. This preference is pursued subject to specific contract requirements and the Group’s bank facility requirements. Capital risk management The Group’s capital structure currently consists of equity and retained earnings and there is no external long-term debt or short term debt except for an interest-free vendor loan. The operating cash flows of the Group are used to finance short term capital. The capital risk management is continuously reviewed as the Group has surplus cash available for investment.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont.) Financial risk management objectives Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements The Group’s exposure to market risk mainly arising from interest rate risk, is disclosed (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk) and cash flow interest rate risk is disclosed in the interest rate sensitivity analysis below. Credit risk is monitored monthly through continuous management of the ongoing projects. Liquidity risk management Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by continually monitoring and maintaining adequate banking facilities. Cash flows are monitored and matched to the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Liquidity and interest risk tables The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial assets and liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to receive or pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 1% higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit or loss would increase or decrease by $123,769 (2017: $126,445). Fair value of financial instruments No financial asset or financial liability is held at fair value. The directors consider the fair value of the financial assets and financials liabilities to approximate their carrying amounts. 52 Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 21.

BUSINESS COMBINATION (a) Summary of the acquisition On 1 April 2017 the Group, through its newly incorporated wholly owned companies Saunders Civilbuild Pty Ltd and Saunders Property NSW Pty Ltd, acquired the business and various assets of the Civilbuild group of companies (Civilbuild Pty Ltd and Civilbuild Precast Pty Ltd). The consideration for the acquisition was $6,324,000, comprising cash, shares in Saunders International and a deferred payment of $266,000 based on the normalised financial performance of the acquired business between acquisition date and 30 June 2017. No further deferred consideration will be payable. Civilbuild is a Newcastle, NSW based civil engineering business established in 1969 and it specialises in the design and construction of bridges and associated precast concrete components. Civilbuild has a strong relationship with local government and industry and has constructed more than 200 bridges over its 40+ year history. Its offices, factories and precast operations are based in Newcastle where it produces beams, planks, abutments and parapets for Civilbuild projects and for infrastructure projects being undertaken by other contractors. The business has a dedicated team of approximately 40 Engineers, Project Managers and Construction staff with extensive industry experience who have transferred to Saunders. The acquisition of this niche engineering and construction business is strategically important in that it should enable Saunders to deliver more sustainable growth across multiple sectors and through market cycles. The acquisition will diversify Saunders’ sources of earnings and give it greater exposure to the growth of new road and rail infrastructure projects. The assets and liabilities recognised as a result of the acquisition are as follows: Work in progress Land and buildings Plant and equipment Employee benefits Deferred tax liability Net identifiable assets acquired Discount on acquisition Purchase consideration 2017 Fair Value $000 325 4,550 3,736 (437) (495) 7,679 1,355 6,324 The discount on acquisition is attributable to the fact that the fair value of the net assets acquired is higher than the purchase consideration and Saunders did not pay any goodwill for the business. 54 (b) Revenue and profit contribution The acquired business contributed revenues of $5,087,000 and a net gain before tax of $262,000 to the group for the period from 1 April 2017 to 30 June 2017. Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (c) Purchase consideration Consideration to acquire business Cash consideration Fair value of shares in Saunders International issued Deferred consideration (i) Purchase consideration $’000 3,774 2,284 266 6,324 (i) Under the contingent consideration arrangement, the group is required to pay the vendors an additional $266,000, based on the normalised financial performance of the acquired business between acquisition date and year end. No further deferred consideration will be payable. (d) Purchase consideration – cash outflow Outflow of cash to acquire business Cash consideration Net outflow of cash – investing activities (e) Acquisition-related costs $’000 3,774 3,774 Acquisition-related costs of $740,000 that were not directly attributable to the issue of shares are included in other expenses in profit or loss and in operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows in the year ended 30 June 2017. 55 26. PARENT ENTITY INFORMATION The accounting policies of the parent entity, which have been applied in determining the financial information shown below, are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements except as set out below. See Note 1 for a summary of the significant accounting policies relating to the Group. Saunders International Limited Notes to the Financial Statements Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted for at cost. Dividends received from subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are recognised in profit or loss when a right to receive the dividend is established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Parent and the amount of income can be measured reliably). Tax consolidation The company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are members of a tax-consolidated group under Australian tax law. The company is the head entity within the tax-consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the company also recognises the current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group. Amounts payable or receivable under the tax-funding arrangement between the company and the entities in the tax consolidated group are determined using a ‘separate taxpayer within group’* approach to determine the tax contribution amounts payable or receivable by each member of the tax-consolidated group. This approach results in the tax effect of transactions being recognised in the legal entity where that transaction occurred, and does not tax effect transactions that have no tax consequences to the group. The same basis is used for tax allocation within the tax-consolidated group.

There are 8 principles and 29 recommendations in this document. The following tables set out the Company’s position in relation to the principles and recommendations. The board of the company has approved this document. PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISCLOSURE AS TO COMPLIANCE AND/OR REASONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE PRINCIPLE 1: LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT The Company complies with this principle and recommendations to the extent as described below: - Recommendation 1 The Company has a Board Charter which addresses Recommendation 1.1 in that it identifies the respective roles and responsibilities of the board and management and it identifies those matters expressly reserved for the board and those delegated to management. Recommendation 1.2 to 1.4 The Company complies with Recommendations 1.2 to 1.4 concerning the appointment and engagement of directors and the accountability of the company secretary. Recommendation 1.5 Recommendation 1.6 The Company does not comply with Recommendation 1.5, gender diversity. However, the Company does comply with the Workplace Gender Equality Act for the latest reporting period as confirmed by written advice from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, a copy of which is on the Company’s website. The Company does not follow Recommendation 1.5 and therefore it does not have a written policy. The reasons for not following this recommendation include that the Company has a small number of employees (200 approx.), and a small board (4 persons). The Company considers that it is unrealistic or not in its interest to establish measurable objectives for gender diversity across its workforce. However, the Company’s Recruitment Strategy ensures that appropriate selection criteria based on qualifications, experience and diverse skills are used when hiring new staff. Additionally, the Company’s Harassment and Discrimination Strategy embraces the principle of equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, race, sexual preference, family responsibilities and any other attributes. The Company has been successful in attracting several high quality female candidates to project roles in the last year and has set a goal to further improve gender diversity in this year. The Company does not comply with Recommendation 1.6 in that although it does have a formal process for the periodic evaluation of the performance of the board, this does not extend to its committees and individual directors. Because the board is small, the preferred method for evaluation of the committee and individual directors is ongoing comment and review between board members. Recommendation 1.7 The Company does comply with Recommendation 1.7 in that it does have a formal process for the evaluation of the CEO and senior executives and this is conducted annually with the latest being in June-August 2018. 59 PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISCLOSURE AS TO COMPLIANCE AND/OR REASONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE The Company complies with this principle and recommendations to the extent as described below: - Recommendation 2.1 The board does not have a nomination committee.

Recommendation 2.2 The board discloses the skills and experience of its directors on its website and in each annual report. Recommendation 2.3 The Company discloses on its website which directors are considered by the board to be independent directors and also the length of service as a director of the Company. Recommendation 2.4 A majority of the board should be independent directors. The Company does not comply with this recommendation in that only 50% of the currently serving directors are independent. The Company considers the composition to be in its best interests. The size of the Company and the specialist nature of its activities is best served by a small board with an adequate component of Company and industry specific knowledge. Recommendation 2.5 The chair should be an independent director. The Company does not comply with this recommendation in that the Chairman is not independent. The Company considers this to be appropriate and in its best interests. The size of the Company and specialist nature of its activities is best served by a chairman who has Company and industry specific knowledge and significant equity in the Company. Recommendation 2.6 The Company has a process to induct a new director which is customized to meet each director’s needs. The Company encourages directors to maintain their skills and knowledge as needed.

Recommendation 4.3: The Company ensures that its external auditor attends the AGM and is available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit. PRINCIPLE 5: MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE The Company complies with this principle and recommendations to the extent as described below: - Recommendation 5.1: The Company has a written Continuous Disclosure Policy which is disclosed on the Company’s website.
