FINANCIAL REPORT (cont.) Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)

Performance obligations are fulfilled over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs, and the Group enhances assets which the customer controls as the Group performs. Thus control of the goods and services is transferred to the customer over time. Revenue is recognised as the services are provided using cost as the measure of progress. Customers are in general invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is in line with costs incurred. Payment is received following invoicing on normal commercial terms. Where payment is received prior to or post recognition of revenue using the percentage cost of completion method, revenue is deferred or accrued for on the balance sheet. Cost plus contracts For cost plus services contracts, revenue arises from maintenance and other services supplied to infrastructure assets and facilities which may involve a range of services and processes. The Group has assessed the services provided to be one performance obligation. Performance obligations are fulfilled over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs, and Group enhances assets which the customer controls as the Group performs. Thus control of the goods and services are transferred to the customer over time. Customers are in general invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is which is calculated on a cost plus basis that are aligned with the stand alone selling prices for each performance obligation. As the amount the Group is entitled to invoice to a customer corresponds directly with the value provided to the customer under the Group’s performance completed to date, the Group has applied the practical expedient under AASB 15 and recognised revenue in the amount that they are entitled to invoice. Payment is received on normal commercial terms. Fabrication and construction revenue Fabrication and construction revenue arises from contracts maintained by the Group to fabricate components and construct bridges. These contracts include two performance obligations being: I. The design and provision of plans for the construction of bridges; and II. The fabrication, construction, site establishment, erection, commissioning and testing of bridges. The transaction price typically contains a fixed lump sum amount. The total transaction price is allocated across each performance obligation based on stand-alone selling prices. It is normal practice for contracts to include bonus and penalty elements based on timely construction or other performance criteria known as variable consideration, discussed below.

A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation 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. (i) Revenue Engineering and Construction revenue The Group derives revenue from the long-term construction of tanks across Australia and the Pacific region. Contracts entered into may be for the construction of one or several inter-linked pieces of large infrastructure. These contracts include two performance obligations being: I. The design and provision of plans for the construction of tanks; and II. The construction, site establishment, erection, commissioning and testing of tanks. Each tank is referred to as a project. Where contracts are entered into for the design and construction of several projects the total transaction price is allocated across each performance obligation based on stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price typically contains a fixed lump sum amount. It is normal practice for contracts to include bonus and penalty elements based on timely construction or other performance criteria known as variable consideration, discussed below. The performance obligations are fulfilled over time and as such revenue is recognised over time. This is because as work is performed on the assets being designed or constructed, they are controlled by the customer and have no alternative use to the Saunders Group, with the Group having a right to payment for the performance to date. Thus control of the goods and services is transferred to the customer over time. Revenue earned is typically invoiced monthly or in some cases on achievement of milestones or in line with costs incurred. Invoices are paid on commercial terms, which may include the customer withholding a retention amount until finalisation of the construction. Where payment is received prior to or post recognition of revenue using the percentage cost of completion method, revenue is deferred or accrued for on the balance sheet. Services revenue Fixed price contracts For fixed price services contracts, revenue arises from maintenance and other services supplied to infrastructure assets and facilities which may involve a range of services and processes. For the majority of fixed price contracts the Group has assessed the services provided to be one performance obligation. The transaction price typically contains a fixed lump sum amount. The total transaction price may include variable consideration.
