CURRENCY OF PRESENTATION AND DEFINITIONS

“Orbital” means Orbital Corporation Limited, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Western Australia, Commonwealth of Australia and its consolidated subsidiaries.

See the Glossary at the end of this Annual Report for definitions of technical terms.

Orbital publishes its consolidated financial statements in Australian dollars. In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified or the context requires, references to the “US$” or “US Dollars” are to United States dollars and references to “$” or “A$” are to Australian dollars. For the convenience of the reader, this Annual Report contains translations of Australian dollar amounts into United States dollars at the rate or rates indicated. Unless otherwise stated, the translations of Australian dollars into US dollars have been made at the buy rate for telegraphic transfers of Westpac Banking Corporation, for the dates specified. These translations should not be construed as representations that the A$ amounts actually represent the US$ amounts or could be converted into US$ at the conversion rate used.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations rather than historical facts and they are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “believe”, “intend”, “envision” and similar words or phrases. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Orbital’s control, that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that would affect our financial performance, cause actual results to differ from our estimates, or underlie such forward-looking statements, are set forth in various places in this report including, but not limited to, Item 3 “Key Information – Risk Factors”.

These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• reduction in fees from customers for our engineering, development and testing services;

• the impact of exchange rate movements on licence and royalty receipts;

• changes in engine manufacturers’ preferences towards OCP Technology;

• increased competition from existing or new engine technologies;

• changes in engine emissions standards or other environmental laws in countries where Orbital licenses or plans to license OCP Technology;

• a downturn in general economic conditions in industries and markets where Orbital licenses or plans to license OCP Technology; and

• the cost of any product liability or intellectual property suits against Orbital.

Orbital undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Because of the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed above, such forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon.

The Australian dollar is convertible into US dollars at freely floating rates. There are currently no restrictions on the flow of Australian currency between Australia and the United States.

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar may affect Orbital’s earnings, the book value of its assets and its shareholders’ equity as expressed in Australian and US dollars, and consequently may affect the market price for the American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”). In addition, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar will affect the US dollar equivalent of the Australian dollar price of Orbital’s ordinary shares on the ASX and, as a result, are likely to affect the market price of Orbital’s ADSs in the United States. See “Item 3. Key Information - Risk Factors – Fluctuations in exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on us”. Any fluctuations will also affect the conversion into US dollars by the Depositary of cash dividends, if any, paid in Australian dollars on the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs.

To date, Orbital has denominated and received most of its earnings from license, development and supply agreements in US dollars. Cash and investments have been denominated in a combination of US dollars and Australian dollars, and a significant proportion of expenditure in past years has been denominated in US dollars. In periods when the US dollar appreciates against the Australian dollar, the Australian dollar conversion of the US dollar earnings under the license and supply agreements may be materially enhanced. However, when the US dollar depreciates against the Australian dollar, Australian dollar conversion of the US dollar earnings under the license and supply agreements may be materially reduced. Orbital may, where appropriate, enter into forward foreign currency hedging contracts to minimise currency exposure particularly in relation to royalties received in US dollars and Euros and their conversion into Australian dollars to satisfy Australian dollar expenditures and realise profits in Australian dollars.

Orbital’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007 have been prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”), which Orbital adopted on July 1, 2005. In complying with AIFRS, Orbital is also in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Prior to July 1, 2005, Orbital prepared its financial statements in accordance with Australian Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“AGAAP”). The comparative financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 have been restated in accordance with AIFRS. Financial statements for years prior to this have not been restated. The accounting policies set out in Note 1 have been applied consistently to the 2005, 2006 and 2007 financial years.

The selected consolidated financial data in accordance with AIFRS below has been derived from Orbital’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, which have been audited by KPMG, an independent registered public accounting firm. The selected consolidated financial data in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) has been derived from the notes to Orbital’s consolidated financial statements for each of the reporting periods in the five year period ended June 30, 2007, which have also been audited by KPMG. The data should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the consolidated financial statements and notes. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and the Report of independent registered public accounting firm thereon, are included elsewhere in this report, see F1 – F51.

Financial information relating to fiscal years 2004 and 2003 is derived from audited financials which are not included in this filing.

(1) For the convenience of the reader the 2007 Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss items have been translated at the Westpac Banking Corporation buy rate for telegraphic transfers on June 30, 2007 which was US$0.8501 = A$1.00. Such translations are unaudited and provided for information purposes only. These translations should not be construed as representations of the amount that the Australian dollar amounts actually represent US dollar amounts, or could be converted into US dollars at the conversion rate used.

(2) The long-term debt consists principally of a loan facility with the State of Western Australia (A$19.0 million for 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003). The loan facility provides for payment in full on the date which is 25 years after the date on which the first advance was made (May 1989) or if in any year prior to that date the aggregate number of OCP engines produced, calculated on a worldwide basis, exceeds five million, payment to be made by equal annual payments, each of one-fifth of the loan, on July 1 in each year commencing July 1 in the following year in which such production is achieved. No interest accrues on this facility until such time as the loan becomes payable. (for additional information see note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

- 5 -

As at 1 July 2005, upon the adoption of AIFRS, the loan facility with the State of Western Australia was recognised at fair value resulting in a non-cash decrease of A$6.8 million to A$12.2 million and subsequently stated at amortised cost with any difference between amortised cost and repayment value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. This adjustment was reflected as a change in accumulated losses as at July 1, 2005.

(3) For a discussion of certain significant differences between AIFRS and US GAAP in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, see Note 33 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4) The options exercisable under the Orbital’s employee share plan have no material dilutive effect in respect of any year. At June 30, 2007, there were 473,126,818 ordinary shares on issue.

(5) In April 2003, Orbital transferred its marine and recreation systems business to its joint venture, Synerject LLC as part of the restructure of Synerject.

Risk Factors

• We have a history of operating losses.

Orbital experienced operating losses over a number of years prior to the 2006 and 2005 fiscal years, as a result of which the company’s net assets have been significantly reduced. If we were to incur future losses, we may not be able to continue our operations. The company has positive shareholders’ equity under both AIFRS and USGAAP and we believe that the company is operating on a going concern basis.

• Our customers may reduce their out-sourced engineering services expenditure.

A major source of Orbital’s revenue is the provision of engineering services to customers in the automotive, motorcycle and marine and recreation sectors. Customers utilise Orbital’s services as they either do not have the necessary skills in-house or their internal resources are overloaded. The sourcing of overload work is very dependent on the state of the market. In the event of a market downturn, this source of work would diminish. Reduction by Orbital’s customers of their expenditure on out-sourced engineering services may substantially lessen the revenue received by Orbital.

• The future fees we receive under agreements with Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) may be substantially less than the fees received in recent years.

Agreements are entered into with vehicle, engine and component manufacturers and financing parties that grant rights to manufacture, use and sell products that utilise Orbital Combustion Process (“OCP”) Technology. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, royalty and licence fees revenue generated from the nineteen current licensed users of OCP technology and their affiliates accounted for approximately 15% of Orbital’s consolidated operating revenues. During the last two fiscal years, royalty and licence fees income from licensed users accounted for approximately 18% of Orbital’s total consolidated revenues. In 2003 and prior years, Orbital generated revenue from system sales to its licensees. The marine and recreation system sales business was transferred to Synerject LLC (“Synerject”), our 50:50 joint venture with Siemens-VDO Automotive, in April 2003.

Orbital has already received and brought to account through revenue a majority of the total lump sum fees due under its existing license agreements. The amount of additional lump sum fees earned under these agreements will depend on several factors, including the commercialisation of products incorporating OCP Technology, whether the licensees expand the territories or volumes covered by the agreements and whether additional engineering or engine development services are provided. As a result, the remaining fees received by Orbital under existing agreements may be substantially less than the fees received in prior years.

• The failure to obtain new customers or receive royalties from existing or new customers could have a material adverse effect on us.

The agreements with OEMs usually entitle Orbital to receive ongoing royalties when licensees sell engines incorporating OCP Technology. The total royalties paid to Orbital will depend on whether manufacturers succeed in selling large numbers of these engines to consumers. As at September 30, 2007, eight of Orbital’s eighteen current licensed users are in commercial production and selling engines using OCP Technology. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Orbital has not received any royalty payments, other than insubstantial minimum annual royalty payments, under any of its other agreements.

- 6 -

Orbital may not be able to enter into additional agreements with new customers. In addition, current licensees may choose not to commercially produce engines incorporating OCP Technology, and those who do may not succeed in selling these products to consumers. The failure to obtain new customers or receive royalties from existing or new customers could have a material adverse effect on Orbital’s business and results of operations.

• We rely on a small number of key customers.

Orbital relies on a small number of key customers for the majority of its revenues. Three customers accounted for 43% of total revenue in fiscal 2007. The loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on Orbital’s business and results of operations. Three customers accounted for 40% of Orbital’s total revenue in fiscal 2006. From April 1, 2003, all system sales were transferred to Orbital’s 50% joint venture Synerject.

Synerject, which makes a significant contribution to Orbital’s overall result, is also reliant on a small number of key customers for the majority of its revenues. In fiscal 2007, three customers accounted for 77% (2006: three customers accounted for 77%) of Synerject’s total revenue.

• We may not be able to successfully complete the production testing programs for the application of OCP Technology to customer engines.

Orbital and its licensees engage in production testing programs, which typically last two to four years, for the application of OCP Technology to customer engines. These tests must be successfully completed before manufacturers will consider committing the large capital amounts needed to modify existing or build new engine manufacturing plants. Orbital generally receives engineering fees for undertaking these programs.

Orbital may not be able to complete these testing programs successfully or without unforeseen problems or delays. As a result there can be no certainty that further products using OCP Technology will be introduced into the market or that Orbital will continue to receive engineering fees for performing these production programs.

• The market may not accept OCP Technology.

Many factors will influence whether Orbital’s licensees decide to produce engines commercially using OCP Technology. These include the cost of adapting existing facilities or building new manufacturing facilities, the cost of producing each system and the reliability and efficiency of OCP Technology. Manufacturers also will evaluate competing technologies and consider how government fuel economy and emissions standards in different countries may favour one technology over another. If manufacturers begin commercial production using OCP Technology, the number of engines sold will depend on market acceptance. Many of these factors are beyond Orbital’s control, but will ultimately affect the amount of royalties received. If licensees decide not to use OCP Technology commercially or consumers choose not to buy products incorporating OCP Technology, there would be a material adverse effect on Orbital’s business and results of operations.

• We may not be able to fund the capital and working capital requirements necessary for our business.

Orbital has needed significant capital amounts to conduct its business. Although capital costs are now minimal, Orbital will incur on-going research and development costs and operating costs to develop second generation OCP Technology to improve performance or lower unit costs to extend the roll out of our technology and requires working capital support. Additionally, the Company will be required to either repay or refinance the A$19 million loan for the Government of Western Australia in 2014 and there is no assurance that this can be done. In the past, these costs have been paid with a combination of operating revenues, equity injections, debt and other financing. However, there can be no assurance that Orbital will have sufficient operating revenues to fund future costs or that outside financing will be available at affordable prices, or at all. A failure to obtain sufficient financing for ongoing costs could prevent Orbital from carrying out business plans on time and give an advantage to competitors with greater financial resources. If a shortage of financing caused long delays in the further development and commercialisation of OCP Technology, licensees could choose not to build engines with OCP Technologies or to use competing technologies. This could have a material adverse effect on Orbital’s business and results of operations. If Orbital has insufficient cash available to meet its costs, it may be required to cease operations.

• We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights.

Orbital has obtained patents on many aspects of its OCP Technology, and has applied for additional patents on other aspects of this technology. Orbital’s success in part, may depend upon the ability to protect the technology and products under United States and foreign intellectual property laws.

- 7 -

Orbital is not a party to any present patent or intellectual property litigation, but in the future may be sued by other parties that claim OCP Technology infringes their patent rights or other rights, or may need to sue other parties to enforce its patent or other intellectual property rights. In the event of being sued by other parties, if proved, these claims could have a material adverse effect upon Orbital. Even if Orbital won any of these suits, the management time and legal expenses required to defend these claims could have an adverse effect on Orbital’s future operating results. Orbital also has trade secrets and know-how, which are not patentable but are still important to Orbital’s business. Orbital seeks to protect these rights through confidentiality agreements and contractual protections. These arrangements may not protect Orbital from unauthorised use or disclosure of its trade secrets and know-how.

• Our share price may be volatile.

The price of Orbital’s ordinary shares on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) and price of the ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange (prior to July 1, 2004) and the OTC Bulletin Board have experienced historic volatility. (Orbital’s ADSs were de-listed from the NYSE effective June 30, 2004 and the ADSs now trade only on the OTC Bulletin Board.) In addition, high technology stocks traded in both markets have experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations from time to time, even though these changes were sometimes unrelated to the operating performance of specific companies. Announcements of operating results or technical innovations by Orbital or its competitors, including reports or announcements about OCP Technology, may have a material effect on the market price of the ordinaryshares or the ADSs. On September 30, 2007, the closing price of Orbital’s ordinary shares on the ASX was A$0.30. The closing price on June 30, 2007 was A$0.30. The closing price of the ADSs on the OTC Bulletin Board on September 30, 2007 was US$10.60, an increase of approximately8% from the closing price of US$9.80 for the ADSs on the OTC Bulletin Board on June 30, 2007. See Item 9. - “The Offer and Listing - Nature of Trading Market”.

• A large product liability or professional indemnity judgement could have a material adverse effect on us.

Orbital is subject to business risk from product liability or professional indemnity suits if third parties claim that defects in OCP Technology or in engineering services provided by Orbital resulted in personal injury or other losses. Orbital may also be required to indemnify licensees for claims arising from alleged defects in products, which use OCP Technology or are designed or manufactured by Orbital. Licensees are, however, required to indemnify us from liabilities caused by defects in products not manufactured by Orbital.

Orbital believes that sufficient product liability and indemnity insurance is held for the range of products and services currently provided to licensees and other customers but sufficient coverage may not be able to be obtained in the future, at affordable costs, or at all. Even if Orbital has such insurance, a judgement against us in a large product liability or professional indemnity suit could have a material adverse effect on Orbital’s business or financial condition.

• OCP Technology may not be able to compete successfully against other engine technologies.

Orbital faces significant competition from automobile and engine manufacturers and engineering firms specialising in internal combustion engine technology. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and technological resources than Orbital.

Orbital’s commercial success depends in part upon whether OCP Technology can compete successfully against both existing and new engine technologies, including new technologies that are similar to OCP Technology. To achieve further commercial success, OCP Technology will need to displace current four-stroke and two-stroke internal combustion engine technologies, which have a dominant market position. Current four-stroke and two-stroke engine technologies may continue to dominate the engine market, or they may be replaced by new technologies other than OCP Technology. Orbital’s competitors may develop products that are technically superior to Orbital’s products or more acceptable to the market. This could reduce available market share to Orbital or make OCP Technology less attractive or obsolete, which would have a material adverse effect on Orbital’s business.

• Fluctuations in exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on us.

Orbital records its transactions and prepares its financial statements in Australian dollars. Most of Orbital’s earnings from license and supply agreements are in US dollars. Cash and investments are denominated in both Australian and US dollars. Almost all Orbital’s expenditures are denominated in Australian dollars. When the US dollar appreciates against the Australian dollar, the US dollar earnings would convert into more Australian dollars. However, when the US dollar depreciates against the Australian dollar the US dollar earnings would convert into fewer Australian dollars. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the Australian dollar and the US dollar may also affect the book value of assets and the amount

- 8 -

of shareholders’ equity. To reduce its potential currency exposure, Orbital has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to fix, in Australian dollars, the majority of forecast US dollar royalty and engineering services fee receipts. Details of Orbital’s total foreign currency forward exchange contracts as of June 30, 2007 are contained in Item 5. – “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Foreign currency exchange sensitivity”. As at September 30, 2007, Orbital’s outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts totalled US$0.550 million. See also Item 3 – “Key Information - Exchange Rate Information” above.

• We may not be able to comply with future governmental regulations.

Products using OCP Technology must comply with many emissions, fuel economy and other regulations in the US and other countries. Based on internal testing, Orbital believes that products using OCP Technology will be able to meet current emissions and fuel economy standards in the countries that are Orbital’s most important markets. The effects of any future regulations on Orbital’s business or results of operations cannot be predicted. However, if Orbital were unable to comply with any material new regulations in the US or other key markets, this could delay further commercialisation of OCP Technology and have a material adverse effect on Orbital’s business and results of operations.

• Classification as a “PFIC” would result in adverse tax treatment to our US shareholders.

Under US federal tax laws, a foreign corporation is treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) if 50% or more of its assets or 75% or more of its income is passive. Historically, Orbital has not been treated as a PFIC and currently believes that it is not a PFIC. This is, however, a factual determination made annually, which could change, based upon future developments or changes in Orbital’s gross income or the value of its assets. If Orbital were classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a US holder of Ordinary Shares or ADSs would be subject to special rules. These rules are intended to reduce or eliminate any benefit from the deferral of US income tax that a US holder could derive if the foreign company does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. See Item 10. - “Additional Information - United States Federal Income Taxation”.

• Our shareholding in our equity investee, Synerject LLC, may be reduced.

Synerject LLC was restructured and refinanced during fiscal 2003. As part of the restructure, in April 2003, Synerject LLC acquired, by way of capital contributions from each joint venturer, the operations of Orbital’s marine and recreation system sales business and Siemens-VDO’s non-automotive systems business. The actual performance of each of these contributed businesses in the period to June 30, 2006, compared to the planned performances, will be reviewed to determine the optional adjustment (if any) to the percentage shareholdings of Orbital and Siemens-VDO in Synerject LLC (“the recalculation”). The option is exercisable at June 30, 2008.

The maximum change in shareholdings as a result of the above recalculation is 10% ie. ownership percentages of 60:40.

There is an option for the joint venturer who has the majority shareholding as determined by the recalculation above, to call from the other shareholder (“minority shareholder”) the percentage of shares determined by the recalculation. The minority shareholder may dilute their shareholding or may choose to exercise an option to maintain the 50:50 ownership structure by either paying the other joint venturer US$400,000 for each 1% interest of Synerject or by injecting additional capital into Synerject of US$800,000 for each 1% interest of Synerject. The exercise date of these options have been extended by two years to June 30, 2008. Until that date the ownership percentage will remain 50:50.

The assessment of the contributed business performance will not be completed until June 30, 2008 however the parties anticipate that due to the stronger performance of the non-automotive systems business contributed by Siemens, the contingent consideration payable by Orbital to Siemens should Orbital elect to maintain their 50% interest may be up to US$4 million. Orbital’s US GAAP results for fiscal 2007, and until such time that the Company exercises its right to re-establish its 50% interest, includes 40% of the results of Synerject rather than 50% in fiscal 2006 and 2005.

• Identification of significant deficiencies or material weaknesses as a result of Orbital’s implementation of procedures designed to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to the evaluation of Orbitals internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on Orbital’s financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of Orbital’s securities

Orbital devotes significant attention to establishing and maintaining effective internal controls. Orbital is in the process of documenting, reviewing and, if appropriate, improving its internal controls and procedures in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, which will require annual management assessments of the effectiveness of

- 9 -

Orbital’s internal control over financial reporting beginning June 30, 2008 and a report by Orbital’s independent registered public accounting firm addressing the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting beginning June 30, 2009. Orbital has commenced testing Orbital’s internal controls in connection with the Section 404 requirements.

As a consequence of systems and procedures currently being reviewed and implemented to comply with these requirements, Orbital may uncover circumstances that may be determined to be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, or that may otherwise result in disclosable conditions. Although Orbital intends to take prompt measures to remediate any such identified significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in Orbital’s internal controls structure, measures of this kind may involve significant effort and expense as well as significant managerial resources, and any disclosure of such significant deficiencies, material weakness or other disclosable conditions may result in a negative market reaction on Orbital’s share price and loss of confidence in Orbital’s internal controls which may in turn have an adverse impact on Orbital’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Orbital is an international developer of engine and related technologies, providing research, design and development services for the world’s producers of powertrains and engine management systems for application in motorcycles, marine and recreational vehicles, automobiles and trucks. Orbital’s principal operations in Perth, Western Australia, provide facilities for the design, manufacturing, development and testing of engines and powertrains.

Orbital’s beginnings date to the late 1960s, when Ralph Sarich, Orbital’s founder, began development of a rotary internal combustion engine called the Orbital Engine. Mr Sarich entered a partnership, known as the Sarich Design and Development Partnership, with two other individuals for the purpose of developing, patenting and marketing the Orbital Engine. In November 1972, the partnership entered into a joint venture with The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (“BHP”), then one of Australia’s largest companies. Under that joint venture, in which each of the partnership and BHP had a 50% interest, Orbital Engine Company (Australia) Pty Ltd (now Orbital Australia Pty Ltd) was established in January 1973, for the development and commercialisation of the Orbital Engine.

In 1978, the partnership assigned its interest in Orbital Engine Company (Australia) Pty Ltd to the Sarich Design and Development Unit Trust (the “Trust”). In 1984, the Trust publicly offered some of its interest in Orbital Engine Company (Australia) Pty Ltd through the listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) of the Sarich Technologies Trust (“STT”). In December 1988, STT was converted to an ASX listed company, Sarich Technologies Limited. In May 1989, BHP exchanged its 50% equity interest in Orbital Engine Company (Australia) Pty Ltd for a 35% shareholding in Sarich Technologies Limited, reflecting BHP’s rights to income under the original joint venture agreement with the partnership and certain debt owing from Orbital Engine Company (Australia) Pty Ltd to BHP. In November 1990, Sarich Technologies Limited changed its name to Orbital Engine Corporation Limited.

- 11 -

In the period between 1973 and 1983, Orbital established a team of engineers and technicians and developed fuel injection and combustion technology that enhanced the performance of the rotary Orbital Engine, culminating with General Motors Corporation entering into an agreement in 1983 to evaluate the Orbital Engine. During this period, Orbital recognised that its fuel injection and combustion technology could also be applied to a conventional two-stroke engine to reduce many of its shortcomings.

In 1983, Orbital determined that the application of its technology to two-stroke engines had the potential for greater commercial return and market acceptance than the rotary Orbital Engine due, among other things, to the commercial barrier of requiring completely new manufacturing processes and facilities to produce the rotary Orbital Engine. As a consequence, Orbital decided to cease development of the rotary Orbital Engine in favour of applying its fuel injection and combustion technology to two-stroke engines.

In December 1991, Orbital offered for sale 2,890,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) (representing 23,120,000 ordinary shares in Orbital) and BHP offered for sale 510,000 ADSs representing 4,080,000 ordinary shares in Orbital. These ADSs were listed on the NYSE at that time. BHP reduced its shareholding to 9.5% in July/August 1998 and to nil in December 1999.

In June 1997, Orbital and Siemens-VDO Automotive established a joint venture, Synerject LLC, to design, develop, manufacture, distribute and sell fuel rail assemblies incorporating OCP technology. See “Strategic Alliances – Siemens-VDO” below.

In July and August 1998, Orbital was listed by local market makers on “over the counter” markets in Germany, with the Company’s securities traded on the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges.

Effective July 1, 2004, Orbital’s ADSs were de-listed from the NYSE as the continued listing requirements relating to market capitalization and shareholder equity were not met. Trading in the Company’s ADSs was transferred to the OTC Bulletin Board with effect from July 1, 2004. As of September 30, 2007, approximately 30% of Orbital’s outstanding shares were held in the form of ADSs traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. See Item 9. - “The Offer and Listing - Nature of Trading Market”.

Following approval by shareholders at its Annual General Meeting on October 26, 2004, the Company changed its name from Orbital Engine Corporation Limited to Orbital Corporation Limited with effect from October 27, 2004. Orbital Engine Company (Australia) Pty Ltd changed its name to Orbital Australia Pty Ltd, effective December 1, 2004.

The Company’s principal capital expenditures since July 1, 2002 have consisted of ongoing improvements to test facilities and equipment (A$1.659 million) and refurbishment of offices (A$0.476 million) at its Western Australian premises, a non-cash capital investment during fiscal 2003 of US$6.25 million in Synerject LLC and a cash capital injection of US$2.0 million in Synerject LLC in June 2006.

There are no significant capital expenditures and divestitures currently in progress.

Strategy

In 2004, Orbital completed a review of its strategic direction in order to build on the foundation established by the previous focus on lower costs and cash neutrality to enable the Company to be a credible long-term supplier of technology and engineering services to international markets. The agreed strategy is to focus on:

• Targeting our R&D to develop second-generation OCP products that address issues raised by existing and potential customers who require improved performance or lower unit cost to extend the roll out of our technology. In turn this will enhance the company’s intellectual property portfolio.

• Programs and alliances that fully and profitably utilise our engineering capability.

• Judicious acquisitions, where we can add shareholder value.

• Expanding Orbital’s automotive engineering services by winning projects and establishing strategic alliances with Australian and Asian partners.

• Achieving future growth of licenses and royalties for OCP in niche markets.

• Adapting our technology to alternate fuels.

• Continuing our commitment to grow Synerject as a profitable systems provider in the non-automotive markets and increase the value of this asset.

- 12 -

Orbital technology has been commercialised in the motorcycle, marine and recreational markets. Orbital’s goal is to broaden the application of Orbital technology in these and other markets. Orbital’s strategy is to participate actively, where appropriate, in the commercialisation of OCP Technology to reduce risks and advance the rate of adoption of this technology. An example of this strategy is Orbital’s investment in Synerject LLC, a joint venture with Siemens-VDO Automotive.

Orbital Combustion Process

The breakthrough in engine design achieved by Orbital is a stratified combustion process, which involves an air-assisted injection of fuel directly into the combustion chamber and uses electronic control of the fuel delivery, injection timing, ignition and other variables. The OCP combustion process and control is suitable for both two-stroke and four-stroke engines and has been applied successfully across a range of cylinder displacements from 50cc to greater than 500cc, including high operating engine speeds.

In a conventional engine, the fresh fuel/air mixture is prepared upstream of the cylinder (whether by carburettor or conventional EFI) and enters the cylinder during the intake stroke, with the intent of forming a homogenous mixture of air and fuel within the cylinder. The OCP systems allow a highly stratified combustion process to occur, containing the combustible fuel cloud to a small area within the cylinder, with the remainder of the air in the cylinder being not fuelled. This process, at light loads, allows the engines with OCP Technology to run very lean (in some cases, total engine operation is carried out without the use of an air intake throttle). Under high load conditions, the OCP system tends to run more like a homogeneously charged engine, with good mixing of the fuel/air mixtures within the cylinder.

In the case of a two-stroke engine, the OCP system allows injection to occur after exhaust port closures at light loads, minimising the short-circuiting of fresh fuel/air mixture out of the exhaust port as occurs in conventional two-stroke engines. In the case of a four-stroke engine, this allows lean engine operation, significantly reducing the engine pumping work.

The combustion process itself, due to control of the air to fuel ratio gradient within the spray plume, allows clean and controlled combustion, resulting in further improvements in fuel economy and emissions control.

Apart from the basic combustion process and the associated fuel and control system, Orbital has developed other technologies including catalyst systems, control systems, control hardware and control software for vehicle applications of engines using the OCP Technologies.

Sources of Revenue

(in 000’s of A$)

Orbital’s sources of revenue are currently from:

• provision of consulting and engineering services; and

• licence fee income and royalties.

In addition, Orbital equity accounts its 50% share of Synerject LLC’s results.

Orbital’s share of the net profit of Synerject LLC in 2005, 2006 and 2007 was A$2.936 million, A$4.135 million and A$3.157 million respectively.

During the last three fiscal years Orbital spent approximately A$2.819 million on research and development programs.

The Orbital group’s licence fee income and royalties relates to the sale of rights to its intellectual property, such as patents and know-how, to major vehicle, engine and component manufacturers through license and engineering service agreements. These agreements grant the licensee limited rights to manufacture, use and sell products utilising OCP Technology.

As at September 30, 2007, Orbital has 18 agreements to end users of technology or suppliers, which grant license rights related to OCP Technology. Orbital’s customer base covers applications in the automotive, marine, recreational and motorcycle markets.

At September 30, 2007 Orbital had 8 customers (2006: 7 customers) using OCP Technology in commercial production.

At September 30, 2007 the following agreements granting rights to Orbital’s OCP Technology were in place:

(1) On November 16, 1998, Orbital announced an expansion of the Synerject Joint Venture to support motorcycle applications with air assisted direct injection and electronic fuel injected systems.

Although these license agreements differ in their specific terms, generally each license agreement defines the scope of access rights to the OCP Technology, including geographic regions, applications covered by the license agreement (for example, engine types and horsepower range), any areas of exclusivity which may have been granted, the duration of the license and royalty periods, and confidentiality provisions. The license agreements also set out the basis on which initial and ongoing technical disclosure is to be made between the parties and the details of technical programs to utilise the OCP Technology, such as performance targets and the quantities of vehicles and engines required to be produced by Orbital for testing purposes by the licensees. A license agreement also typically covers the licensee’s right to Orbital’s improvements and Orbital’s rights to the licensee’s improvements on the basic OCP Technology, as well as indemnity provisions relating to losses arising from products designed and manufactured by Orbital or its licensees. Under the terms of the license agreements, licensees are not specifically obliged to commence production and sale of engines using OCP Technology and may terminate the agreements upon notice to Orbital. If a licensee were to terminate its license agreement with Orbital, the licensee would forfeit the license and any technical disclosure fees paid through to the date of termination.

- 14 -

The license agreements may provide for the payment to Orbital of fees upon the execution of the license agreement. These initial license fees may be negligible in some instances and significantly larger in others. Additional fees may also be required after a fixed time interval or after delivery of prototype engines and/or hardware employing the OCP Technology that meets specified performance targets, provided the license agreements are not terminated. In some cases the license agreements provide for technical disclosure fees and territory fees that are payable upon disclosure and transfer of Orbital’s technical know-how or upon any expansion of the licensees’ rights to OCP Technology.

Generally, under the terms of Orbital’s license agreements, royalty payments will become payable if licensees commence commercial production and sale of engines or components incorporating the OCP Technology. Such royalties will usually be based on several factors, which may include a base amount, the engine’s particular horsepower rating, an adjustment for inflation, the benefit delivered to the Original Equipment Manufacturer, access to improvements and the level of technology applied. Royalties currently achieved for the non-automotive application of OCP Technology range from approximately US$6.00 for a small scooter to US$66.00 for a large multi-cylinder marine outboard engine.

Commercial production or sale of engines with OCP Technology commenced in 1996. Production royalties of approximately A$2.14 million were received by Orbital in the 2007 fiscal year compared to approximately A$2.33 million in 2006. There can be no assurance that Orbital will be successful in entering into additional license agreements, that other licensees will commence commercial manufacture of products incorporating the OCP Technology, or that Orbital will receive additional fees under existing agreements. Orbital’s financial results have varied from period to period in the past and will continue to experience such fluctuations in the future. There can also be no assurance that products incorporating OCP Technology will achieve market success.

Strategic Alliances

Siemens-VDO

In June 1997, Orbital formed a joint venture company, Synerject, LLC, with Siemens Automotive Corporation. At the time of formation, Synerject’s principal activities were to design, develop, manufacture, distribute and sell fuel rail assemblies incorporating OCP technology.

In November 1998, Orbital announced the expansion of the operations of the Synerject joint venture to allow Synerject to provide motorcycle and scooter Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) with both air assisted direct injection and electronic fuel injection systems. This includes engine management systems and all peripheral components, and system integration services, in addition to supply of the fuel rail assembly. This expansion enables Synerject to provide both technical and program management services to the customer. Fiscal 2000 saw the launch of the Aprilia SR 50 DITECH (DI Technology), the first commercial motorcycle or scooter using Orbital’s DI technology, followed by Aprilia’s Scarabeo DITECH™ scooter in 2001. In May 2002, Piaggio, manufacturer of the Vespa brand scooter, and Peugeot Motocycles each launched two motor scooter models incorporating Orbital’s direct injection technology. Peugeot launched its Jetforce scooter during the 2003 fiscal year and Kymco launched its 100cc KDI 2-stroke scooter in the 2005 fiscal year. In May 2007 Bajaj Auto Ltd commenced production in India of an autorickshaw utilising Orbital’s direct injection technology.

During 1998 Orbital’s relationship with Siemens-VDO was expanded to create an alliance that facilitates the supply of complete integrated systems incorporating OCP technology to automotive customers. This capability is attractive in order to penetrate the automotive industry, as manufacturers are continuing to reduce the number of suppliers and rely more heavily on large companies that act as systems integrators. These system integrators source, validate, and coordinate the supply of the components of a system which may include the fuel rail assembly, electronic control unit, compressor, fuel pump and wiring harnesses. The system is then sold to the manufacturer as a complete unit.

Synerject was restructured and refinanced in April 2003. As part of the restructure, Synerject acquired, by way of capital contributions from each joint venturer, the operations of Orbital’s marine and recreation system sales business and Siemens-VDO’s non-automotive systems business. The actual performance of each of these contributed businesses in the period to June 30, 2006, compared to the planned performances, will be reviewed to determine the adjustment (if any) to the percentage shareholdings of Orbital and Siemens-VDO in Synerject which may take place in June 2008. See Item 3 – “Key Information – Risk Factors – Our shareholding in Synerject LLC may be reduced”. It is the Company’s intention for its shareholding in Synerject to not be diluted.

- 15 -

In June 2006 Synerject’s financing arrangements were renegotiated. Loans provided by Siemens-VDO were replaced by a 4 year term loan provided by an external bank (see “Liquidity and Capital resources’). The bank loan was supported by additional capital injections of US$2 million from each member. The Orbital guarantee required for the previous financing arrangements is not required for the new bank loan.

Orbital and Siemens-VDO Automotive each hold a 50% interest in Synerject LLC and share equal board representation. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the net income and losses of the joint venture are allocated in accordance with the percentage interest held.

In March 2006 Synerject acquired a business based in Delavan, Wisconsin, which supplies fuel systems and components for outboard marine engines from BRP US Inc for approximately US$2.5m. The investment by Synerject consisted of working capital, principally inventory and plant & equipment.

During FY2007 Synerject established a manufacturing facility in Changchun, China and an engineering support facility in Chongqing, China . These facilities have been established to produce low cost electronic control units for motorcycle applications.

Synerject has operations located in Newport News, Virginia, Delavan, Wisconsin, Toulouse, France and Changchun and Chongqing, China (as noted above). In Newport News, Synerject manufactures air injectors and fuel rail assemblies for the majority of Orbital’s marine and motorcycle customers and supplies systems to marine customers. In Delavan, Synerject manufactures electronic management modules and direct injection fuel injectors and oil pump assemblies primarily for Bombardier Recreational Products. In Toulouse, Synerject sources components (including air injectors and fuel rail assemblies manufactured in Newport News) and supplies systems to motorcycle customers. As noted below, in April 2003, Synerject acquired Siemens-VDO’s non-automotive systems business which is now conducted in Toulouse.

Delphi Automotive Systems

In 2001, Orbital signed a Technical Transfer and Development Agreement with Delphi Automotive Systems to co-operate on market development and supply of direct fuel injection systems for worldwide automotive applications. As a result of the agreement, Orbital is able to offer to automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) the services of a Tier 1 supplier for the manufacture of OCP technology components. On October 8, 2005 Delphi Corporation (US) filed voluntary petitions for business reorganisation under chapter 11 of the US bankruptcy code. On September 6, 2007 Delphi announced it had signed definitive settlement and restructuring agreements with General Motors Corp and would file its proposed Joint Plan of Reorganisation and related Disclosure Statement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. There has been no activity under this Technical Transfer and Development Agreement since it was signed in 2001.

UCAL Fuel Systems

In February 2003, Orbital entered into a Technical Cooperation Agreement with UCAL Fuel Systems Ltd, a manufacturer of carburettors and fuel injection system components for the Indian motorcycle and automotive markets. Under the agreement UCAL has been granted the right to manufacture and supply components of Orbital’s direct injection fuel systems to the 2-stroke 2 and 3 wheeler motor vehicle market in India.

Competition

Orbital’s success depends significantly upon its ability to continue to earn revenue from engineering services and to maintain a competitive position in the development of OCP Technology in relation to other existing and emerging technologies.

Success of the OCP Technology is also dependent upon Orbital’s ability to both displace current fuel injection and combustion technologies for four-stroke or two-stroke internal combustion engines, which have an established and dominant position in this field, and its ability to gain market share against emerging technologies. There is significant competition from automobile and engine manufacturers and engineering firms specialising in the development of internal combustion engine technology for the automotive, marine, motorcycle and small engine industry. These companies may have substantially greater resources for research, development and manufacturing than Orbital. Despite the fact that Orbital has developed, patented and licensed the OCP Technology to a number of automobile and engine manufacturers, it is possible that Orbital’s competitors may succeed in developing alternative technologies and products that are more effective or commercially more acceptable than those developed by Orbital.

- 16 -

There is a difference between an individual engine design and the broad range of possibilities covered by the OCP Technology for which fees are charged under licensing agreements. Manufacturers may have their own specific engine designs incorporating OCP Technology as well as their own proprietary and non-proprietary know-how. Licensees may market the individual characteristics of their engine designs without reference to the fact that the OCP Technology is required or being used. Under the terms of Orbital’s license agreements, royalties would be payable in such situations.

The main competition to the use of OCP Technology for four-stroke automotive applications is both the previously introduced side injection high pressure, single fluid, direct injection fuel systems being employed by Japanese and European vehicle manufacturers and the newer generation spray guided systems now being introduced in Europe. OCP Technology provides a better combination of fuel economy and emissions when compared to current published side injection high pressure, single fluid, DI fuel systems on multi cylinder engines. Management also believes the OCP fuel system cost to be comparable to the side injection high pressure fuel systems and at the same production volumes would have a significant cost benefit to the new piezo high pressure guided fuel systems.

Technology for the 4-stroke engine that is entering the market place or is currently being tested for introduction into the market includes variable valve timing, variable valve lift, turbocharging and engine down sizing. Over the last few years there has been a slow increase in the introduction of high pressure side injection fuel systems for companies including Alfa Romeo, Renault, Peugeot, Volkswagon and Daimler Chrysler. These system have been introduced into the European market primarily and operate in a stoichiometric mode most of the time and hence deliver only very small benefits in fuel economy.

Other competition to engines employing OCP Technology may also include other lean burn engines, electro-magnetic valve lift and timing actuation, electric motors, hybrid vehicles and fuel cells and other concepts not known to Orbital. Insofar as these technologies incorporate efficient technology for internal combustion engines they would be complementary to OCP Technology, for instance in hybrid vehicles.

Current four-stroke technology also remains the main competitor to the introduction of OCP Technology for non-automotive applications. Various direct injection technologies, such as high pressure, single fluid direct injection systems, are available to engine manufacturers to improve the performance of two-stroke engines as an alternative to both the current four-stroke and OCP Technology.

With respect to provision of engineering services, Orbital competes against engineering groups such as Ricardo, AVL, FEV and others which have well established European presences and growing presences in the China/Asia market. An additional competitor to Orbital’s services is the customer’s internal resources. In all cases, Orbital must compete on work-scope, cost and quality with its competitors. Orbital’s competitors may have significantly more finance available than Orbital which may help to win certain work programs. The engineering service requirement is directly influenced by global, national and OEM company financial positions and the also by the presence, or lack of, drivers such as new emission or other regulatory changes.

Synerject, as an Engine Management System and component supplier for the non-automotive market for both direct injection and manifold port injection, and for Orbital’s proprietary air injector for the automotive market, competes directly with established suppliers such as Bosch, Del’orto, Magneti Marelli, Delphi and others.

Engineering Services

The provision of engineering services continues to be a significant contributor to Orbital’s total revenue stream. Engineering services revenue is primarily dependent on outsourced product development investment from the automotive and non-automotive OEMs and from provision of technical services to Governments. Engineering services revenue in the 2007 financial year was $12.514 million, approximately 50% of which was derived from activities related to Orbital’s proprietary OCP technology.

The increase in engineering services revenue from $8.6 million in the 2006 financial year ($9.5 million in fiscal 2005) is largely a result of increased demand for the application and development of OCP technology for non-automotive customers, together with new areas of work including heavy duty Liquified Natural Gas (‘LNG’)/Compressed Natural Gas (‘CNG’) systems development as well as design and development of small engines for the lawn, garden and utility markets.

As a consequence of the increase in contracted services Orbital’s Engineering Services segment operated at a profit of $3.241m for the 2007 financial year (2006:$0.409million; 2005: $0.11million loss).

Not all regions, or customers, have been equally affected by the changed financial circumstances noted above. India and China, particularly, continue to show considerable activity and, due to the rapid growth of automotive manufacturing

capacity in those markets, there is a shortage of engineering resources. Orbital has regional representation in both of these markets and has increased resources to secure engineering services contracts. These initiatives assisted in compensating for the downturn in demand from Orbital’s existing customer base.

Resulting from the increased marketing activity in these countries, the value of the engineering services income has in these areas increased by nearly 77% to $3.29 million (2006: $1.86 million; 2005: $0.96 million) in the 2007 financial year. The pipeline is encouraging and should be expected to contribute to results progressively over the 2007 financial year. In addition, Government assessment of alternative fuels in response to recent gasoline pricing volatility is expected to generate significant work during the 2008 financial year.

In addition to the focus being given to sales activity in the emerging automotive and non-automotive markets, Orbital has continued to invest in R & D, designed to extend the capability and application of both OCP in a number of niche product categories and to expand engineering services opportunities in the area of advanced combustion and technology. Expenditure in 2007 was $1.0 million (2006: $0.7 million; 2005: $1.1 million). An example of R&D activity in 2007 was the development of Direct Injection (DI) engine technology to operate internal combustion engines on a variety of alternative fuels.

As energy sustainability becomes increasingly topical, there is growing interest in the use of alternative fuels for road transport. Orbital has continued its research in this area including the use of Ethanol, natural gas (CNG and LNG), Liquified Petroleum Gas (‘LPG’) and Hydrogen fuel in Internal Combustion (‘IC’) engines. This research ties together advances in injection system hardware, combustion system development and innovative control systems.

Orbital has continued with its past practice of maintaining and recruiting a leading edge skill base and a core competency in advanced powertrain engineering. Part of that program has been our sponsorship of the University of Western Australia Motorsport team in the annual Formula SAE. This is a global competition conducted by the Society of Automotive Engineers International. This year in the Formula SAE Australasia competition, the UWA team came 2^nd out of 28 teams, and in the Formula SAE USA competition the UWA team placed 2^nd out of 106 teams.

Orbital undertook a number of programs for customers during the 2007 financial year, including:

• Major production programs supporting future introduction of Orbital’s technology on new products.

• Government Programs investigating the effects of different Ethanol levels in gasoline.

• Complete turn key engine design/upgrade and calibration for Chinese customers.

• Gaseous Direct Injection investigations and applications.

• 4 stroke non-automotive DI investigation and assessment programs.

• Spark ignition of heavy fuel for UAV applications

Licensing and Royalties

OCP, Orbital’s proprietary direct injection technology, continues to demonstrate its market acceptance in products around the world. OEMs continue to evaluate the merits of the technology in many applications, particularly in niche product categories where performance, or fuel economy is paramount. During this financial year Mercury Marine celebrated the 10^th year of products using the OCP technology.

During the 2007 financial year, new royalty bearing product introduced to the market included the Bajaj Autorickshaw and the Mercury Marine 175 Pro XS and 250 Hp Optimax Outboards.

Bajaj Auto Limited, which entered into a licence with Orbital in May 2004 for the application of Orbital’s technology to their auto-rickshaw, three-wheeler vehicles in India, commenced selling vehicles incorporating Orbital. Bajaj’s autorickshaw will to contribute to royalty revenues commencing in early 2008 fiscal year. UCAL Fuel Systems Ltd, which has been licensed to manufacture fuel injection systems in India incorporating Orbital’s technology, has progressed its production processes for supply of the fuel system components to Bajaj.

Significant engineering programs were undertaken to support customer production and assessment development of the OCP systems capability for spark ignition of heavy fuels such as kerosene, JP5 and JP8. These programs, both for 2 and 4 stroke engines, are driven by the ‘one fuel policy’ being implemented by some military groups. The same system offers Bi, or Multi fuel potential. The current applications of these programs range from ground vehicles to Unmanned Aeronautical Vehicles (UAV’s). It is expected that an initial royalty income stream from these programs will commence in early fiscal 2008.

- 18 -

Envirofit, a not for profit organisation and a Licensee to the OCP technology has progressed the development of retrofit fuel system kits for 3 wheeled taxis in the Philippines.

Interest in the potential application of Orbital’s air assisted Direct Injection technologies for 4 stroke motorcycle applications remains high with evaluation programs underway and requests for programs from new customers in place.

License and royalty revenue decreased in fiscal 2006 by 4% compared to the previous financial year. Royalty income from the marine sector remains strong, however a significantly weaker US dollar has reduced the value. Royalty from the motorcycle and 3 wheeler market was a small contributor, given the European 50 cc market conditions and uncertainty regarding the near term emission requirements as well as the slow rollout release of the Bajaj autorickshaw product.

Synerject

Synerject, Orbital’s joint venture with Siemens-VDO Automotive, manufactures and sells engine management systems (EMS) and related components such as engine control units (ECU), air injectors, fuel rail assemblies, sensors, actuators and fuel pumps for supply to the non-automotive market. Additionally, Synerject has the rights for the manufacture and supply of air injectors for the automotive market.

The growth prospects for Synerject are encouraging with the overall market for engine management systems specific to the non-automotive market continuing to grow strongly with the global implementation of emissions regulations in this market.

In March 2006 Synerject acquired a business based in Delavan Wisconsin, which supplies fuel systems and components for outboard marine engines from BRP US Inc for approximately US$2.5m. The investment by Synerject consists of working capital, principally inventory.

In June 2006 Synerject negotiated a 4 year term bank loan of US$8.0 million which, together with additional capital contributions of US$2 million from each member, replaced the previous loan arrangements which were due to mature in September 2006. Synerject had cash at June 30, 2007 of US$4.324 million (June 30, 2006: US$4.724 million).

Synerject’s profit after tax (PAT) of US$3.5 million for the 2007 financial year represents a increase of 30% on its PAT of US$2.7 million for the 2006 financial year.

Synerject’s revenue increased to US$79.627 million from US$57.5 million in fiscal 2006, primarily as a result of the Delavan acquisition on March 1, 2006. Synerject’s fiscal 2007 PAT includes the full year contribution from the Delavan acquisition compared to 4 months in fiscal 2006. This is offset by costs incurred in establishing manufacturing and engineering facilities in China of US$0.9 million (2006: US$nil) Synerject’s PAT, as determined under USGAAP, includes research and development costs of US$1.736 million (2006: US$2.057 million and 2005: US$1.495 million). Under AIFRS development expenditure is capitalised if the product is technically and commercially feasible and the consolidated entity has sufficient resources to complete development. Orbital’s AIFRS equity accounted result in 2007 includes A$0.643 million (2006: A$1.649 million and 2005 A$nil) as a result of capitalisation of Synerject’s development and product application expenditure under AIFRS. Research expenditure is expensed as incurred under AIFRS.

Patent Protection

Orbital continues to actively investigate new technologies while also seeking to improve and enhance existing technology through continued research and development and product development, particularly in regard to OCP related technology. Orbital believes that patent protection of its technologies and processes is critical to its future financial performance and that its success depends upon its ability to protect its proprietary products and technology under United States and foreign patent laws and other intellectual property laws. Accordingly, Orbital has been, and intends to continue to be, active in securing and policing intellectual property rights for its proprietary products and technology.

As at September 30, 2007, Orbital had approximately 100 individual patent families with a total of over 360 patents and patent applications around the world. As of September 30, 2007 there were approximately 70 granted patents and 10 patent applications pending in the United States (including PCT patent applications). There are numerous other developments for which patent protection has not been obtained and these form part of Orbital’s proprietary know-how. Trade secrets and confidential know-how are protected through confidentiality agreements, contractual provisions and administrative procedures. There can be no assurance that such arrangements will provide meaningful protection for Orbital in the event of any unauthorised use or disclosures.

- 19 -

Orbital is not a party to any present litigation relating to patents, but it has in the past and may in the future receive claims from other parties that the OCP engines or components or elements of such engines infringe patent rights or other rights of such other parties. Orbital may also in the future need to sue other parties for infringement of patent or other Intellectual Property rights relating to its OCP Technology. In the event of either being sued by other parties or suing other parties, the management time and legal expenses required to be devoted to these claims could have an adverse effect on Orbital’s future operating results, even if Orbital won any such suits.

Description of Property

Orbital has its principal facilities in Balcatta, Western Australia.

The Balcatta premises comprise two owned properties and one leased property. The leased property is occupied on a monthly tenancy basis. Rent under the lease is payable monthly in advance. Orbital is responsible for its proportionate costs of insurance, rates and taxes of the leased property.

The primary focus of the Balcatta facility is the provision of engineering services, the preparation of engines utilising OCP Technology for the production validation process and research and development and administration. Equipment includes engine development test cells, engine durability test cells, vehicle emission chassis dynamometer cells, outboard motor test tanks, a personal water craft test tank, robot driven vehicle mileage accumulation chassis dynamometers, and an environmental test cell (incorporating both an engine and vehicle test cell). Other facilities include a comprehensive electronics laboratory, extensive emissions measuring equipment and a specialised computer system. The computer system supports a range of complex and data intensive engineering requirements, including computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering programs, combustion analysis and fluid mechanics.

The Balcatta facility also includes a number of fuel systems laboratories with high speed transient fuelling analysis equipment and environmental and durability test equipment.

Orbital Fluid Technologies Inc (“OFT”) has its registered office in Lapeer, Michigan.

Under the terms of Orbital’s loan facilities with Westpac Banking Corporation and the State Government of Western Australia, the assets of Orbital, including its plant and equipment (but excluding patents, licences and technologies), have been pledged to secure the borrowings under such facilities.

Government Regulation

Orbital Corporation Limited is a company registered in Australia. Companies in Australia are regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) and are governed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwth).

Events After the End of the Financial Year

There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the Company’s financial year and the date of this report, any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature that is likely to significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity for the year ended June 30, 2007.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

General

During the 2007 fiscal year Orbital’s revenues were generated from contracts for engineering services, including engine development programs, licensing and licensing related agreements for OCP Technology. In addition Orbital equity accounted it’s 50% share in Synerject LLC’s result.

Because of the timing of recognition of fees due under Orbital’s license agreements, Orbital’s financial results have varied from period to period in the past and are expected to continue to experience such fluctuations in the future.

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information in the following discussion is derived from Orbital’s Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein, prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards which are called AIFRS to distinguish from previous Australian GAAP.

Recent Developments

Appointment of New Chairman

On August 14, 2007 the Company announced that Mr Don Bourke the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Orbital had passed away. On August 22, 2007 the Company announced the appointment of Mr William Peter Day as a Director and Chairman of Orbital.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Orbital’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Orbital has adopted AIFRS with effect from July 1, 2005. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgements including those related to product warranties, trade debtors and deferred taxation. We base our estimates and judgements on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis for making judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

In developing accounting policies, in addition to AIFRS requirements, we also consider industry practice. Where there is no conflict with AIFRS we also align our accounting policies with US GAAP. This reduces the number of AIFRS / US GAAP reconciliation differences required to be adjusted in Note 33 to our financial statements.

The critical accounting policies discussed below are applied consistently to all segments of Orbital. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

The financial statements of the equity accounted associate, Synerject LLC, are prepared under US GAAP and adjusted to reflect consistent accounting policies with Orbital.

The following are the critical accounting policies and estimates that have been adopted in preparing our AIFRS financial statements:

Non-Interest-bearing borrowings

Included in non-current liabilities is an amount owing to the Government of Western Australia resulting from a loan of $19,000,000 made to the Company in 1989. Repayment of this facility will be in full on the date which is 25 years after the date on which the first advance is made (May 1989), or in any year prior to that date if the aggregate number of commercially produced OCP 2 stroke engines, calculated on a worldwide basis, exceeds 5,000,000, by equal annual payments, each of one fifth of the loan, on 1 July in the year commencing 1 July following the year in which such production is achieved. To date there have been no OCP 2-stroke engines produced on a commercial basis. No interest accrues on this facility until such time as the loan becomes payable.

- 21 -

As at July 1, 2005 the non-interest bearing loan from the Government of Western Australia was recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost with any difference between amortised cost and repayment value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

Equity Accounting

Associates are those entities for which the consolidated entity has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated entity’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of a jointly-controlled associate on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. For a number of years, the consolidated entity’s share of losses exceeded its interest in the joint venture, and during that period, the consolidated entity’s carrying amount was reduced to nil and recognition of further losses continued to the extent that the consolidated entity had incurred legal or constructive obligations on behalf of an associate. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the joint venture recouped past losses, the consolidated entity released its provision for losses to profit and loss account, and equity accounting has now been resumed. The consolidated entity’s share of the joint venture’s net profit or loss was recognised in the year and will continue until the date joint control ceases. Orbital’s share of other movements in reserves, post recommencing equity accounting, are recognised directly in consolidated reserves.

Research and Development Expenditure

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the consolidated entity has sufficient resources to complete development. Orbital’s share of development expenditure was capitalised (included in results of associate) in FY2007 is $0.643 million (2006 $1.649 million)

Patents, Licences and Technologies

Patents, licences and technology development and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Expenditure capitalised and amortisation

Expenditure on intangible assets which are capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Capitalised expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation will be charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite.

Impairment

The carrying amount of all assets other than inventories and deferred tax assets but including property, plant and equipment and development expenditure is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Provision for Trade Debtors

Provision for doubtful trade debtors is estimated based on an analysis of trade debtors exceeding agreed payment terms and the likelihood of collection having regard to recent payment histories, subsequent cash receipts and direct correspondence with the relevant customers. We believe that we adequately manage our credit risk through our evaluation process, credit policies and credit control and collection procedures. However, losses on amounts receivable from our largest customers could be material to our results of operations. Provision for doubtful trade debtors amounted to A$0.049 million at June 30, 2007 (A$0.050 million at June 30, 2006), with a bad debts write-off for the year of A$Nil (2006: A$Nil).

Refer to “Results of Operations Fiscal 2007 Compared with Fiscal 2006” below for further explanation of the above expenses.

- 22 -

Income Tax

(i) Current income tax expense and liability

Income tax on the profit and loss for the year presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

(ii) Deferred income tax expense and liability

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Where determining the amount of taxable income to be available in future periods for the purpose of estimating the realisation of net operating losses and other deferred tax assets, we consider current operating forecasts that reflect assumptions regarding business and product cyclicality, historical operating performance, new product development, and existing deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets and forecasts are evaluated separately for each tax jurisdiction.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of our business and recent operating performance, we have considered forecasted results for the following five years only in determining the amount of deferred tax assets at June 30, 2007. Changes in our assumptions about future profitability would result in changes to deferred tax assets and not income, the amount of which could be material. Unrecognised deferred tax assets at June 30, 2007 were approximately $54 million.

(iii) Tax Consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Orbital Corporation Limited.

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries is assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to (from) other entities in the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts. Any difference between these amounts is recognised by the Company as an equity contribution or distribution.

The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.

Deferred taxation

We recognise a deferred tax asset in our balance sheet only where we determine that it is probable that it will be recovered. A portion of the deferred tax asset recorded in our balance sheet relates to current or prior period tax losses where management considers that it is more likely than not that we will recover the benefit of those tax losses in future periods

- 23 -

through the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Our assumptions in relation to the generation of sufficient future taxable profits depend on our estimates of future taxable profits, which are estimated based on forecasts of engineering services income, licence and royalty receipts and Synerject’s business plans. These estimates are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter the projections, which may impact the recoverability of the deferred tax asset recorded in our balance sheet and those tax losses currently provided as not recoverable. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the deferred tax asset may require provisioning and we would charge the expense to the profit and loss account, and conversely, some or all of the amounts provided as not recoverable may be reversed and we would credit the benefit to the profit and loss account.

At June 30, 2007, our deferred tax asset included A$6.082 million (A$6.445 million at June 30, 2006), in relation to prior period tax losses and we have provided against potential deferred tax asset amounts of A$54.081 million (A$53.748 million at June 30, 2006), in relation to current and prior period tax losses where management cannot conclude that it is probable that Orbital will generate sufficient future relevant income to recover these losses in future periods.

Temporary differences

Temporary taxation differences, arising due to timing differences between the periods in which transactions are recognised for accounting purposes differing to the periods in which those transactions are recognised for income taxation purposes, of the Company and its Australian resident controlled entities increased during fiscal 2007 by A$0.634 million to A$9.447 million at June 30, 2007 from A$8.813 million at June 30, 2006. A$6.446 million of the temporary difference relates to a provision for capital loss on an investment.

Carry forward tax losses

Australia

Tax carry forward losses of the Company and its Australian resident controlled entities decreased during fiscal 2007 by A$0.137 million to A$52.633 million at June 30, 2007 from A$52.770 million at June 30, 2006.

Australian income tax carry forward losses do not expire and can be carried forward indefinitely subject to:

i) the Company and/or its controlled entities continuing to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and

ii) the companies being able to satisfy the tests as set out in the new taxation consolidations legislation recently enacted in Australia, which provides further tests in relation to transferring losses to a consolidated group and recouping losses within the group; and

iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affecting the relevant company and/or the consolidated entity in realizing the benefit.

Potential future income tax benefits in Australia have not been recognised as assets at June 30, 2007 because it is not probable that future profits will be available against which the consolidated entity can utilise the losses and timing differences.

For the consolidated entity to fully realize its potential Australian future income tax benefits it will need to generate future Australian taxable income of approximately A$52.633 million and be in a position to utilize the taxable income against the benefits in the Company and the controlled entities retaining those benefits in accordance with the consolidations legislation.

United States of America

Tax carry forward losses of approximately A$59.758 million (US$50.800 million) (2006: A$69.300 million (US$51.400 million)) are available to certain controlled entities in the United States. A deferred tax asset of A$6.082 million (US$5.170 million) (2006: A$6.455 million, US$4.780 million) has been recognized as an asset as it is probable that future profits will be available against which the consolidated entity can utilise the losses.

Under the tax laws of the United States, tax losses that cannot be fully utilized for tax purposes during the current year may, subject to some statutory limitations, be carried forward to reduce taxable income in future years. At June 30, 2007, the US$50.800 million of tax carry forward losses available expires between the years 2010 and 2023.

- 24 -

For the controlled entities in the United States to realize their potential United States future income tax benefits they will need to generate future taxable income of approximately US$51.400 million. Approximately US$7.77 million of taxable income will be required prior to 2010 when the first portion of the benefit is due to expire.

Based upon the level of historical taxable income and current projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the tax carry forward losses are deductible in both Australia and the United States, management are only in a position to state that it is probable that benefits totalling A$6.082 million in respect of carry forward losses will be realised in full.

The deferred tax asset recognised as at June 30 each year represents managements assessment of the amount of carry forward losses that it is probable will be deductable in the following five years. The movement in the recognised deferred tax asset from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007 is the result of the movement of the assessment period and also updates to future forecasted results.

Results of Operations Fiscal 2007 Compared with Fiscal 2006

Orbital’s net profit after tax was A$1.333 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to a net profit of A$0.515 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Revenue from trading activities in fiscal 2007 as detailed in note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements increased as compared to fiscal 2006 by 32% to A$15.198 million:

• Engineering services income increased 45% (A$3.869 million) to A$12.514 million due to increased demand for the application and development of Orbital technology including programs in the area of spark ignited heavy fuel and new gaseous applications covering both LPG and CNG DI applications. The increased demand eminated mainly from customers in North America and India. This was offset by decreased demand in non OCP advanced powertrain applications primarily from Australian customers.

• Licence and Royalty income decreased by 4% to A$2.294 million due mainly to the appreciation of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar over the fiscal year.

Other income decreased by 19% to A$0.390 million compared to fiscal 2006 (A$0.480 million) primarily due to reduced system warranty credits.

Total costs and expenses (excluding share of net profit of equity accounted investee, Synerject LLC) increased 14% to A$16.683 million in fiscal 2007 from A$14.643 million in fiscal 2006. The net increase was due to the following:

• Total employee expenses increased by 14% to A$9.428 million due to increased engineering and operating staff numbers required to provide the increased engineering services noted above.

• Depreciation and amortisation decreased by 11% to A$1.001 million primarily due to fully depreciated testing facilities and equipment continuing in working order and therefore not requiring replacement capital expenditure and the rationalisation of operations in recent years.

• Engineering consumables and contractor expenses increased by 53% to A$1.641 million reflecting the increased engineering services noted above.

• Travel and accommodation expenses decreased by 3% to A$0.980 million as a result of increased overseas engineering project activity offset by reduced corporate travel.

• Communication and computing expenses decreased by 3% to A$0.647 million as a result of reduced staff numbers and continued renegotiation of contracts with service providers.

• Patent costs increased by 10% to A$0.509million from A$0.462 million as a result of the continuing review and analysis of each patent filing in the Company’s intellectual property portfolio having regard to the Company’s strategic intellectual property requirements.

• Insurance, audit, compliance and listing costs have decreased by 1% to A$1.206 million from A$1.224 million partly as a result of increased auditor’s remuneration due to additional audit and compliance requirements for SEC registrants and increased legal fees arising as a result of the review of research and development syndication contractual arrangements entered into in 1995 and 1996, offset by reduced insurance costs.

• Finance costs have increased by A$0.262 million to A$0.884 million as a result of the accretion of the commitment to Siemens VDO to maintain the 50% interest in Synerject and the fair value amortisation of the interest free A$19 million loan from the West Australian Government.

• Other expenses have increased by 61% to A$1.272 million as a result of the settlement of the R&D Syndicate dispute with Coles Myer Ltd (A$0.582 million,. refer note 25.2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements)

- 25 -

Orbital’s share of Synerject’s net profit decreased by 22% to A$3.228 million from A$4.135 million in fiscal 2006. Synerject’s revenue increased by 38% to US$79.627 million primarily as a result of the acquisition in March 2006 of a business which supplies fuel systems and components for outboard marine engines. Development expenses of A$0.631 million incurred by Synerject have been capitalised in Orbital’s equity accounted results (fiscal 2006 1.649 million) in accordance with AIFRS. Details of Synerject’s operations and results are contained in Synerject’s Consolidated Financial Statements (refer Item 19 – Exhibit (b)) included herein.

The income tax benefit for fiscal 2007 was A$0.098 million, being primarily recognised Deferred Tax Asset offset by withholding taxes on royalties and license fees. In fiscal 2006 Orbital recognised benefits from tax losses not previously brought to account of A$0.386 million which, after expensing withholding taxes resulted in a net tax expense of A$0.218 million.

Inflation has had a minimal effect on Orbital’s results of operations in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006.

As outlined on page 29 the investment and on-going results of Synerject (as reported by Orbital) will continue to be susceptible to changes in the foreign currency exchange rates between the Australian and US Dollar.

Results of Operations Fiscal 2006 Compared with Fiscal 2005

Orbital’s net profit after tax was A$0.515 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to a net loss of A$1.701 million for the year ended June 30, 2005.

Revenue from trading activities in fiscal 2006 increased as compared to fiscal 2005 by 5% to A$11.039 million:

• Engineering services income increased 5% (A$0.4 million) to A$8.645 million due to increased demand for the application and development of Orbital technology including programs in the area of spark ignited heavy fuel and new gaseous applications covering both LPG and CNG DI applications. The increased demand eminated mainly from customers in North America and India. This was offset by decreased demand in non OCP advanced powertrain applications primarily from Australian customers.

• Licence and Royalty income increased by 8% to A$2.394 million due to increased royalties from the marine sector which has shown a 20% increase in engine volumes compared to fiscal 2005. This has been partially offset by reduced volume in the continuing poor European scooter market.

Other income decreased by 18% to A$0.824 million compared to fiscal 2005 primarily due to reduced interest income as a result of reduced cash at bank and on deposit.

Total costs and expenses (excluding share of net profit of the joint venture entity, Synerject LLC (being adjustment to Synerject provision)) decreased 6% to A$15.265 million in fiscal 2006 from A$16.220 million in fiscal 2005. The net decrease was due to the following:

• Total employee expenses decreased by 6% to A$8.297 million due to staff reductions early in the financial year and reduced redundancy expenses. These savings were partially offset by less leave taken during the year compared to fiscal 2005 and an increase in engineering resources in the 2^nd half year, both as a result of the increased engineering activity in the 2^nd half year.

• Depreciation and amortisation decreased by 22% to A$1.122 million primarily due to fully depreciated testing facilities and equipment continuing in working order and therefore not requiring new replacement capital expenditure and the rationalisation of operations in recent years.

• Engineering consumables and contractor expenses decreased by 27% to A$1.076 million reflecting a change in mix of engineering projects requiring reduced outsourced resources.

• Travel and accommodation expenses increased by 1% to A$1.009 million as a result of increased overseas engineering project activity offset by reduced corporate travel.

• Communication and computing expenses decreased by 10% to A$0.667 million as a result of reduced staff numbers and continued renegotiation of contracts with service providers.

• Patent costs decreased by 15% to A$0.462million from A$0.545 million as a result of the continuing review and analysis of each patent filing in the Company’s intellectual property portfolio having regard to the Company’s strategic intellectual property requirements.

• Insurance, audit, compliance and listing costs have increased by 17% to A$1.224 million from A$1.043 million partly as a result of increased auditor’s remuneration due to additional audit and compliance requirements for SEC registrants and increased legal fees arising as a result of the review of research and development syndication contractual arrangements entered into in 1995 and 1996.

- 26 -

• Finance costs have increased by A$0.619 million to A$0.622 million as a result of the introduction of AIFRS. This expense represents the fair value amortisation of the interest free A$19 million loan from the West Australian Government.

• Other expenses have decreased by 30% to A$0.786 million as a result of continuing cost containment programs and reduced headcount.

Orbital’s share of Synerject’s net profit increased by 41% to A$4.135 million from A$2.936 million in fiscal 2005. Synerject’s revenue increased by 38% to US$57.478 million primarily as a result of the acquisition in March 2006 of a business which supplies fuel systems and components for outboard marine engines. Development expenses of A$1.649 million incurred by Synerject have been capitalised in Orbital’s equity accounted results (fiscal 2005 A$nil) in accordance with AIFRS. Details of Synerject’s operations and results are contained in Synerject’s Consolidated Financial Statements (refer Item 19 – Exhibit (b)) included herein.

The income tax expense for fiscal 2006 was A$0.218 million, being primarily withholding taxes on royalties and license fees. In fiscal 2005 Orbital recognised tax losses not previously brought to account of A$0.336 million which, after expensing withholding taxes resulted in a net tax benefit of A$0.107 million.

Inflation has had a minimal effect on Orbital’s results of operations in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at June 30, 2007, Orbital’s cash balance was A$11.287 million compared to A$3.325 million at June 30, 2006 and A$7.972 million at June 30, 2005. At September 30, 2007 the cash balance was A$10.998 million. In Orbital’s opinion, the working capital is sufficient for the Group’s present requirements.

For fiscal 2007 Orbital recorded a net cash outflow from operations of A$0.182 million compared to cash outflows of A$1.868 million in fiscal 2006 and A$3.820 million in fiscal 2005. The cash outflow in fiscal 2007 resulted from cash flow used in operating activities of A$0.250 million less reduced working capital requirements of A$0.068. This compares with net cash used by operating activities in fiscal 2006 of A$2.159 million (fiscal 2005: A$2,947 million) plus additional working capital requirements of A$0.291 million (fiscal 2005: working capital sources A$0.873 million). The reduced cash outflow in fiscal 2006 was a result of increased engineering services income, increased licence and royalty income and reduced expenses. Synerject’s equity accounted result is non cash and therefore has no impact on operating cash flow in either fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006.

Research and development expenditures were A$1.022 million in fiscal 2007, A$0.733 million in fiscal 2006 and A$1.064 million in fiscal 2005. Research and development activity during fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 was in developing new technology for advanced combustion systems, combustion of alternative fuels (liquid and gaseous) in internal combustion engines, and further developing the air-assist DI system for application on new products. More focus has been placed on R&D in fiscal year 2007 with increased expenditure compared to previous years, and more attention to the publication and presentation of technical papers.

Orbital utilised net cash of A$0.644 million for investing activities in fiscal 2007 compared with A$2.780 million in fiscal 2006 and A$0.371 million in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2006 Orbital invested US$2.0 million (A$2.735 million) additional share capital in Synerject LLC as part of replacement of Synerject’s financing arrangements (see below). The expenditure in fiscal 2007 consisted mainly of acquisition of engineering equipment and software. No advances to Synerject were required in fiscal 2007 or 2005.

Orbital raised A$8.792 million (after transaction costs) through a share placement and a share purchase plan in fiscal 2007. Orbital did not have any other cash flow requirements for financing activities in fiscal 2007.

In May 1989, the Government of Western Australia provided Orbital with a loan facility totalling A$19,000,000 under the terms of a “Development Agreement”. As at June 30, 2007 this facility was fully utilised by Orbital. Repayment of this facility is due:

• in full on the date which is 25 years after the date on which the first advance was made (May 1989); or

• if in any year prior to that date the aggregate number of commercially produced OCP 2 stroke engines, calculated on a worldwide basis, exceeds 5,000,000, by equal annual payments, each of one fifth of the loan, on 1 July in each year commencing 1 July following the year in which such production is achieved. To date there have been no OCP 2-stroke engines produced on a commercial basis.

- 27 -

Interest is not payable on this facility until such time as the loan becomes payable, when interest will begin to accrue at the overdraft rate charged by the Commonwealth Trading Bank of Australia on overdrafts in excess of A$100,000.

Orbital also has standby arrangements with Westpac Banking Corporation to provide support facilities of A$0.808 million, of which A$0.046 million was drawn down at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2006 available support facilities totalled A$0.876 million, of which A$0.104 million was drawn down.

Orbital had no capital expenditure contracted but not provided for as at June 30, 2007.

Capital Expenditure

The Company has budgeted capital expenditures of A$1.337 million for fiscal year 2008. Funds for such expenditure will be sourced internally. In the event of a delay or a reduction in capital expenditure during fiscal 2008 the Company would still have sufficient plant, equipment and other facilities to maintain operating levels in line with previous years and would also continue to have significant available capacity within its testing facilities. There are no long-term capital commitments by the Company.

The Company has recorded a liability for the deferred settlement of the anticipated payment to Siemens VDO of US$4 million due in September 2008 (see note 21 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Orbital’s Equity Investee, Synerject LLC

Synerject was restructured in 2003 at which time loan arrangements to September 30, 2006 were agreed. Under those arrangements Synerject’s future operating cash flows were to be directed to a loan repayment plan.

Net cash provided by Synerject’s operating activities in fiscal 2007 was US$2.604 million and fiscal 2006 was US$5.538 million. In June 2006 Synerject negotiated a 4 year term loan of $8.0 million with a bank which, together with additional capital contributions of US$2 million from each member, replaced loan arrangements which were due to mature in September 2006. In addition Synerject has available a US$3.0 million line of credit to be drawn as and when required maturing January 31 2008. At June 30, 2007 Synerject had drawn down $1.150 million under this line of credit. Synerject’s long term loan repayment commitments in fiscal 2008 are approximately US$1.909 million (actual paid fiscal 2007 US$1.630 million) and it is expected that Synerject will fund these repayments out of operating cash surpluses during the year. Synerject’s cash at bank at June 30, 2007 was US$4.324 million (2006 US$4.724 million) and total debt outstanding (including the line of credit) at June 30, 2007 was US$7.520 million (June 2006 US$8.000 million). Member guarantees are not required to support Synerject’s new financing arrangements.

Trend Information

We anticipate that royalty earnings will be influenced by the robustness of the marine market in North America and the launch the of the DI autorickshaw program in India. Engineering services revenue can be cyclical in nature and the order book (thus future revenue and cash flows) at June, 30 2007 was $5.0 million compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2006. The Synerject result will be influenced by the timing of the launch of new products in China and India and additional establishment costs of the manufacturing and engineering facilities in China. This includes start up costs and investment in plant facilities prior to commencement of production. The market for professional engineering services staff is more competitive causing a upward trend in labour costs over the past 3 years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Synerject Loan Guarantee Commitments

Prior to July 2006 Orbital guaranteed 50% of the borrowings by its related business undertaking, Synerject LLC, the joint venture with Siemens-VDO Automotive. The guarantee was entered into in 1997, at the time of formation of Synerject, to enable it to obtain loan funds for its trading operations.

As noted above, in June 2006 Synerject negotiated new financing arrangements to replace the loan from Siemens-VDO. The new loan is secured by Synerject assets. There is no guarantee required from Orbital for the new financing arrangements and no obligations remaining under the Siemens-VDO line of credit.

- 28 -

Details of Synerject’s operations and results are contained above in this Annual Report and in Synerject’s Consolidated Financial Statements (refer Item 19 – Exhibit (b)) included herein.

Inflation

Orbital’s operating costs are subject to the effects of inflation, and under the terms of Orbital’s license agreements, certain fees and royalty payments are, or will be, indexed to inflation, generally based on the US Producers Price Index for Finished Goods. In general, inflation has had minimal effect on Orbital’s results of operations during the last two fiscal years.

Synerject LLC was restructured and refinanced during fiscal year 2003. As part of the restructure, Synerject LLC acquired, by way of capital contributions from each joint venturer, the operations of Orbital’s marine and recreation system sales business and Siemens VDO’s non-automotive systems business. The actual performance of each of these contributed businesses in the 3 year period to 30 June 2006, compared to the planned performances, will be reviewed to determine the optional adjustment (if any) to the percentage shareholdings of Orbital and Siemens VDO in Synerject LLC (“the recalculation”). The settlement of the arrangement has been deferred until 30 June 2008.

The maximum change in shareholdings as a result of the above recalculation is 10% i.e. ownership percentages of 40:60.

There is an option for the joint venturer who has the majority shareholding as determined by the recalculation above, to call from the other shareholder (“minority shareholder”) the percentage of shares determined by the recalculation. The minority shareholder may dilute their shareholding or may choose to exercise an option to

- 30 -

maintain the 50:50 ownership structure by either paying the other joint venturer US$400,000 for each 1% interest of Synerject LLC or by injecting additional capital into Synerject LLC of US$800,000 for each 1% interest in Synerject LLC. The exercise date of these options was at the earliest July 1, 2006 but has been extended by two years to 30 June 2008.

The assessment of the contributed business performance will not be tabled until 30 June 2008 however the Directors anticipate that due to the stronger performance of the non-automotive systems business contributed by Siemens, that Siemens will become entitled to the full 10% under the recalculation provisions. To maintain Orbital’s 50% interest in Synerject (being the Director’s current intent), a liability representing the present value of US$4 million has been recognised which will become payable in Fiscal 2009.

Board Practices

The directors (excluding the Managing Director) are subject to retirement by rotation, with one-third retiring each year (or the number nearest to one-third of the number of directors if not a multiple of three), and may not continue to hold office without re-election after the third Annual General Meeting of shareholders following their last election by the shareholders. Eligible retiring directors may offer themselves for re-election by the shareholders. Directors may be appointed by the Board of Directors up to the total number permitted. Such directors hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of shareholders and may be re-elected by the shareholders at such meeting. The service agreement between the Company and the Chief Executive Officer provides for a cash payment equal to one year’s remuneration in the event of termination by the Company other than by reason of the Chief Executive Officer’s serious misconduct or material breach of the agreement. No other officer’s service contract provides for benefits to such person upon termination, other than in the event of redundancy. No retirement or termination benefits are payable to non-executive Directors.

- 33 -

Corporate Governance

The following outlines the main Corporate Governance practices of the Company that were in place throughout the financial year:

Board of Directors and its Committees

The Board’s primary role is to protect and enhance long-term shareholder value by providing strategic guidance to the Company and effective oversight of management.

To fulfil this role, the Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the consolidated entity including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. The Board is also responsible for reviewing and ratifying systems of risk management and internal compliance controls. Details of the Board’s charter are located on the Company’s website (www.orbitalcorp.com.au).

• Board Processes

To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has established a number of Board Committees including an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee, a Nomination Committee and a Finance Committee. These committees have written mandates and operating procedures, which are reviewed on a regular basis. The effectiveness of each committee is also constantly monitored. The Board has also established a framework for the management of the consolidated entity including a system of internal control and the establishment of appropriate ethical standards.

The full Board currently holds six scheduled meetings each year, plus strategy meetings and any extraordinary meetings at such other times as may be necessary to address any specific significant matters that may arise.

The agenda for meetings is prepared in conjunction with the Chairman, Managing Director and Company Secretary. Standing items include the managing director’s report, financial reports, strategic matters, governance and compliance. Submissions are circulated in advance. Executives are regularly involved in board discussions and directors have other opportunities, including visits to operations, for contact with a wider group of employees.

The Board conducts an annual review of its processes to ensure that it is able to carry out its functions in the most effective manner.

• Independent Professional Advice and Access to Company Information

Each Director has the right of access to all relevant Company information and to the Company’s executives and, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent professional advice from a suitably qualified adviser at the Group’s expense. The director must consult with an advisor suitably qualified in the relevant field, and obtain the Chairman’s approval of the fee payable for the advice before proceeding with the consultation. A copy of the advice received by the director is made available to all other members of the board.

• Composition of the Board

The names and qualifications of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this Report are detailed above.

The composition of the Board is determined using the following principles:

• A minimum of three directors, with a broad range of expertise;

• An independent non-executive director as Chairman;

• A majority of independent non-executive directors; and

• The role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairman should not be exercised by the same individual.

An independent director is a non-executive director who:

• is not a substantial shareholder of the company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the company;

- 34 -

• within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the company or another group member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;

• within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;

• is not a material* supplier or customer of the company or other group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

• has no material* contractual relationship with the company or another group member other than as a Director of the company;

• has not served on the board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the company; and

• is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the company.

* No non-executive Director is a supplier to or customer of the consolidated entity, nor does any non-executive Director have a contractual relationship with the consolidated entity (other than as a Director of the Company) and therefore the Board has not had to consider any materiality threshold.

• Directors and Officers Dealing in Company Shares

The Company’s policy with respect to Directors and Officers dealing in the Company’s shares or options states that:

• Directors and Officers are prohibited from dealing in the Company’s securities at any time when they possess information which, if publicly disclosed, would be likely to affect the market price of the Company’s securities;

• Directors and Officers are prohibited from short term trading in the Company’s securities;

• Directors must obtain the written approval of the Chairman before undertaking any transactions involving the Company’s securities; and

• Directors and Officers are prohibited from undertaking transactions in the Company’s securities during the period from one month prior to the proposed release of the Company’s annual or half-year result until two days after that release.

A copy of the policy is available on the Company’s website.

• Conflict of Interest

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company’s constitution, Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Company. Where the Board believes that a significant conflict exists the Director concerned must not be present at the meeting whilst the item is considered or vote on the matter. The Board has procedures in place to assist Directors to disclose potential conflicts of interest.

• Nomination Committee

The role of the Nomination Committee is to oversee the appointment and induction process for directors. It reviews the composition of the Board and makes recommendations on the appropriate skill mix, personal qualities, expertise and diversity. When a vacancy exists or there is a need for particular skills, the Committee, in consultation with the Board, determines the selection criteria based on the skills deemed necessary. Potential candidates are identified by the Committee with advice from an external consultant, where appropriate. The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders. As part of the induction process, new directors are provided with detailed information about the nature of the Company’s business, current issues, group strategy, financial matters, policies and procedures and are given the opportunity to meet with management to obtain an insight into the Company’s business operations. The Nomination Committee is also responsible for the selection, appointment and succession planning process of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Members of the Nomination Committee during the year were Mr D W J Bourke (Chairman), Mr J G Young and Mr J R Marshall.

The Nomination Committee meets as and when required. The Committee has a documented charter, approved by the Board. The charter may be viewed on the Company’s website.

The performance of all Directors is reviewed by the Chairman each year. Directors whose performance is unsatisfactory are asked to retire.

- 35 -

Remuneration Report

• Remuneration Committee

The role of the Remuneration Committee is to review and make recommendations to the Board on the remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Chief Executive Officer, senior executives and Directors themselves. It also plays a role in evaluation of the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and management succession planning. This role also includes responsibility for share schemes, incentive performance packages, superannuation entitlements, fringe benefits policies and professional indemnity and liability insurance policies. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract and retain the most qualified and experienced Directors and senior executives. The Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages, given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally.

The Remuneration Committee meets twice a year and as and when required. The members of the Remuneration Committee during the year were Mr D W J Bourke (Chairman), Mr J R Marshall and Mr J G Young. The Chief Executive Officer is invited to Remuneration Committee meetings, as required, to discuss the performance of senior executives and their remuneration packages. The Remuneration Committee has a documented charter, approved by the Board. A copy of the Charter is available on the Company’s website.

• Principles of compensation

Remuneration is also referred to as compensation in this report.

Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and the consolidated entity, including directors of the Company and other executives.

The Remuneration Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on remuneration packages and policies applicable to directors, secretaries and senior executives of the Company. The broad compensation policy is to ensure the compensation package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that compensation is consistent with current industry practice. Data is obtained from independent surveys to ensure that compensation throughout the consolidated entity is set at market rates having regard to experience and performance. In this regard, formal performance appraisals are conducted at least annually for all employees. Compensation packages may include a mix of fixed compensation, performance-based compensation and equity-based compensation.

In addition to their salaries, the consolidated entity also provides non-cash benefits to its key management personnel.

Fixed compensation

Fixed compensation consists of base compensation (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges related to employee benefits including motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.

Compensation levels are reviewed annually by the remuneration committee through a process that considers segment and overall performance of the consolidated entity. In addition, data from independent surveys is reviewed to ensure the directors’ and senior executives’ compensation is competitive in the market place. A senior executive’s compensation is also reviewed on promotion.

Performance-linked compensation

Performance linked compensation includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward key management personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The short-term incentive (STI) is an “at risk” bonus provided in the form of cash, while the long-term incentive (LTI) is provided as ordinary shares of Orbital Corporation Limited under the rules of the Executive Long Term Share Plan.

- 36 -

Short-term Incentive

Executive Directors and senior executives may receive bonuses based on the achievement of goals related to the performance of the consolidated entity, including a combination of sales, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), cash and individual key performance indicators (KPI’s). These measures are chosen as they directly align the individual’s reward to the consolidated entity’s strategy and performance. Achievement of budgeted goals may result in bonuses of between 5 – 20% of salary. No bonus is awarded where performance falls below a minimum.

Long-term Incentive

Executives may also be offered shares in the Company’s Executive Long Term Share Plan, the details of which are set out under “Share Ownership” below.

In considering the consolidated entity’s performance and benefits for shareholders wealth the Remuneration Committee has regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous financial year:

	2007	2006		2005
EBIT ($ Millions)	1.603	1.023		(2.320	)
Dividends paid	—	—		—
Change in share price ($)	0.209	(0.014	)	(0.035	)
Return of capital	—	—		—

EBIT is considered in setting the STI as it is considered an important short term financial performance target. Dividends, changes in share price, and return of capital are included in the TSR calculation which is the performance criterion assessed for the LTI.

The STI/LTI were first introduced in 2001 for the 2001/02 financial year. An analysis of the remuneration and performance data since that time has revealed that performance targets in the STI plan have been met in the 2003 and 2004 years, when the company recorded significant improvement in its results and in 2007 when the Company achieved strategic goals and positive EBIT. Performance targets under the LTI have not been met under the LTI since its inception to fiscal 2007 and shares have not issued as a result. The LTI performance target for the three years ended August 31, 2007 was met and as a result 1,200,000 Executive Long Term Shares were issued to members of the plan in September 2007.

Service Agreements

The service contract for the CEO is unlimited in term, but capable of termination on 12 months notice by the Company. The Company has the right to terminate the contract immediately by making payment equal to 12 months pay in lieu of notice. The CEO has the right to terminate the contract on 3 months notice. The CEO has no entitlement to termination payment in the event of removal for misconduct.

Contractual arrangements between the Company and other senior executives are also unlimited in term and provide for termination on one month’s notice (or payment in lieu) in accordance with the Company’s standard conditions. On termination of employment, executive directors and senior executives are also entitled to receive their statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service leave, together with any superannuation benefits.

Non-executive Directors

Total remuneration for all non-executive Directors, last voted upon by shareholders at the 2001 Annual General Meeting, is not to exceed $400,000 per annum. When setting fees and other compensation for non-executive Directors, the Board seeks independent advice and applies Australian and international benchmarks. The Chairman’s base fee is $100,000 per annum, plus a further fee of $5,050 per annum for membership of the Audit Committee. Other non-executive Directors’ base fees are currently $50,000 per annum. An additional fee of $5,050 per annum is payable for membership (other than as Chairman) of the Audit Committee. The Chairman of that Committee receives an additional fee of $7,070 per annum.

Non-executive Directors do not receive performance related remuneration.

No retirement benefits are payable to non-executive Directors.

• Audit Committee

The role of the Audit Committee is to give the Board of Directors additional assurance regarding the quality and reliability of financial information prepared for use by the Board in determining accounting policies for inclusion in the financial report. The Committee has a documented charter, approved by the Board. The charter is available on the Company’s website. All members of the Committee must be independent, non-executive directors.

Members of the Audit Committee during the year were Mr J G Young (Chairman), Mr J R Marshall and Mr D W J Bourke. The external auditors, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary and other financial and accounting staff are invited to Audit Committee meetings at the discretion of the Committee. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer declared in writing to the Board that the Company’s financial reports for the year ended June 30, 2006 present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company’s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards. This statement is required annually.

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include, liaising with external auditors and ensuring that the annual and half-year statutory audits/reviews are conducted in an effective manner; reviewing and ensuring management implement appropriate and prompt remedial action for any deficiencies identified; monitoring compliance with Australian and international taxation requirements, the Australian and United States corporations laws and Stock Exchange Listing Rules; and improving quality of the accounting function.

The Audit Committee reviews the performance of the external auditors on an annual basis and meets with them to discuss audit planning matters, statutory reporting and as required for any special reviews or investigations deemed necessary by the Board. The Audit Committee also assesses whether non-audit services provided by the external auditor are consistent with maintaining the external auditor’s independence and provides advice to the Board whether the provision of such services by the external auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence of auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Audit Committee charter provides for rotation of the external audit partner every five years.

• Finance Committee

The Finance Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on policies dealing with, and specific transactions of, material items or arrangements of a financial nature. All Directors are members of the Finance Committee.

The Finance Committee meets as and when required.

Risk Management

The Board oversees the establishment, implementation and review of the Company’s risk management systems, which have been established by management for assessing, monitoring and managing operational, financial reporting and compliance risks for the consolidated entity. Responsibility for establishing and maintaining effective risk management strategies rests with senior management, accountable to the Chief Executive Officer and the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee reviews the risk management and internal control structure implemented by management so as to obtain reasonable assurance that the consolidated entity’s assets are safeguarded and that reliable financial records are maintained. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have declared, in writing to the Board, that they have evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s financial disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that they are operating efficiently and effectively. Operational and other compliance risk management has also been reviewed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively. Details of the Company’s risk management policy are available on the Company’s website.

• Risk Profile

Risks to the consolidated entity arise from matters such as competitive technologies that may be developed, delays in government regulation, reduction in development and testing expenditure by the Company’s customers, the impact of exchange rate movements on royalty receipts, environmental issues, occupational safety and health and financial reporting.

38

• Internal Control Framework

The Board recognises that no cost effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The system is based upon written procedures, policies and guidelines, an organisational structure that provides an appropriate division of responsibility, and the careful selection and training of qualified personnel.

Established practices ensure:

• Capital expenditure commitments are subject to authority level approval procedures

• Financial exposures are controlled by the use of forward exchange contracts where appropriate

• Occupational safety and health issues are monitored by a management committee

• Financial reporting accuracy and compliance with regulatory requirements

• Compliance with environmental regulation

To ensure that its engineering services are of the highest standard, the consolidated entity has obtained ISO 9001 accreditation for research, design and development services to the world’s producers of powertrain and engine management systems and the provision of general engineering services.

Where risks, such as natural disasters, cannot be adequately mitigated using internal controls, those risks are transferred to third parties through insurance coverage to the extent considered appropriate.

Financial Reporting

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to, at least annually, evaluate internal controls over financial reporting and disclose in writing to the Company’s Auditors and the Audit Committee:

1. All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarise and report financial information; and

2. Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. No such deficiencies, weaknesses or frauds have been detected.

Monthly financial results are reported against budgets approved by the Directors and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly.

Environmental Regulation

The consolidated entity holds a number of permits, licences and registrations for environmental regulation under both Australian Commonwealth and State legislation. These permits, licences and registrations are primarily for the storage of fuels and chemicals and the disposal of waste and are reviewed by the Company on an on-going basis. The Directors are not aware of any serious breaches during the period covered by this report.

Ethical Standards

All Directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the consolidated entity. Every employee has a nominated supervisor to whom they may refer any issues arising from their employment. The Board has approved a Code of Conduct, applicable to all Directors and employees of the consolidated entity, providing for the conduct of business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and sound corporate governance. The Code also incorporates the Company’s policy on trading in the Company’s securities. A Code of Ethics, relating to Accounting Practice and Financial Reporting, has also been adopted by the Board and applies specifically to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and senior finance officers of the Company who influence financial performance. The Code of Ethics is complementary to the Code of Conduct, copies of both of which are available on the Company’s website.

Continuous Disclosure and Communication with Shareholders

The Board of Directors aims to ensure that shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the consolidated entity’s state of affairs. The Board has adopted a policy to identify matters that may have a material effect on the price of the Company’s securities and to notify the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) as required.

This policy on Release of Price Sensitive Information is overseen and coordinated by the Company Secretary. All directors, officers and members of the Company’s management committee are required to forward details of any potentially price sensitive information to the Company Secretary, who is also to be made aware, in advance, of proposed information disclosures (including information to be presented at private briefings) to enable consideration of the continuous disclosure requirements. Proposed announcements are to be approved by the Managing Director and either the Chairman or Company Secretary prior to release to the ASX. The Company Secretary is responsible for all communications with the ASX.

Information is communicated to shareholders as follows:

• The concise financial report is distributed to all shareholders (and to American Depositary Receipt (ADR) holders on request) in accordance with stock exchange requirements (or unless a shareholder has specifically requested not to receive the document) and includes relevant information about the operations of the consolidated entity during the year, changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity and details of future developments, in addition to other disclosures required by the Corporations Act 2001 and US Securities Law;

• The full financial report is available free of charge to all shareholders and ADR holders on request;

• The half-yearly report contains summarised financial information and a review of the operations of the consolidated entity during the period. The half-year financial report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and is lodged with Australian and United States regulatory bodies and the ASX. Financial reports are sent to any shareholder or ADR holder who requests them; and

• Continuous disclosure of material information to the ASX, media outlets and via the Company’s website. We encourage all shareholders to register email contact details on our website to enable concurrent electronic communication. All announcements made to market are placed on the Company’s website immediately after release to the ASX.

The Board encourages participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the consolidated entity’s strategy and goals. Important issues are presented to the shareholders as single resolutions. The Company’s external auditor is requested to attend annual general meetings to answer any questions concerning the audit and the content of the auditor’s report. Subsequent to the annual general meeting, an information meeting is held for shareholders based in the eastern states of Australia to provide those shareholders with the opportunity to meet members of the Board and senior management.

Shareholders are requested to vote on the appointment of Directors, the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors, the granting of shares to directors, the remuneration report (in a non-binding vote) and changes to the Constitution. A copy of the Constitution is available to any shareholder who requests it.

The Company’s policy on Release of Price Sensitive Information and its policy on communication with shareholders are available on the Company’s website.

Employee Share Plan - 2001 Offer

The Company introduced two Employee Share Plans in 2001 to provide for eligible employees to be offered, at no cost, fully paid shares in the Company, rather than options. Under the No. 1 Plan, all eligible employees are offered shares in the Company to the value of A$1,000 (determined on the basis of the weighted average market price of the Company’s shares as traded on the Australian Stock Exchange in the five trading days before the date of offer) and under the No. 2 Plan employees are offered shares at the discretion of the Board. On November 21, 2001, a total of 351,041 and 187,566 fully paid ordinary shares were issued to employees under the No. 1 and No. 2 Plans respectively.

Orbital shall not offer or issue or grant any shares under the employee share plan if the number of shares the subject of the offer or issue or grant when aggregated with:

• unissued shares over which options (which remain outstanding and are then held by eligible employees or their nominees) have been granted under the employee option Plan; and

• shares issued during the previous five year period under the option plan and this Plan,

would exceed five percent of the total number of ordinary shares of Orbital on issue at the time of the offer or issue or grant.

Executive Long Term Share Plan – 2001 Offer

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting on October 25, 2001, shareholders approved the participation of the then Executive Directors, Messrs Schlunke, Johnsen and Beech, in the Company���s Executive Long Term Share Plan. Under this Plan, a performance related offer of shares has been made to the Executive Directors and eligible executives of the Company. Mr. Schlunke was offered 100,000 fully paid ordinary shares and Mr. Johnsen and Mr. Beech were each offered 70,000 fully paid ordinary shares.

Shares offered under the Plan would only be granted, at no cost to participants, if performance conditions were met or if, on cessation of employment, there was a Qualifying Reason. Qualifying Reasons are death, disability, ill health or redundancy. Where an executive ceases employment because of a Qualifying Reason, the Board will determine the number of shares, if any, to be granted and whether, and to what extent, the performance conditions will apply. In accordance with these provisions, the Board determined to grant to Mr Schlunke on the termination of his employment in July 2002, the 100,000 shares previously offered to him. Similarly, the Board determined to grant to Mr Beech on the termination of his employment in October 2002, the 70,000 shares previously offered to him.

The performance conditions were based on the relative ranking of the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of the Company to a group of selected peers. TSR is the percentage increase in a company’s share price plus reinvested dividends over a given period and reflects the increase in value delivered to shareholders over that period. The peer group to which the Company’s TSR was compared comprised 100 companies within the Australian Stock Exchange All Industrials Index with a similar market capitalisation to the Company. The comparison was made over a three year “Performance Period” commencing on September 1, 2001 and ending on August 31, 2004. The TSR ranking of the Company at the expiry of the Performance Period was such that no further shares were granted as the performance conditions had not been met.

Shares offered under the Plan will only be granted, at no cost to participants, if performance conditions are met or if, on cessation of employment, there is a Qualifying Reason. The performance conditions are based on the relative ranking of the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of the Company to a group of selected peers. TSR is the percentage increase in a company’s share price plus reinvested dividends over a given period and reflects the increase in value delivered to shareholders over that period. The peer group to which the Company’s TSR will be compared will comprise the 50 smallest companies by market capitalisation (other than resource companies and property and investment trust companies) within the S&P/ASX 300 Index. The comparison will be made over a three year “Performance Period” commencing on September 1, 2004 and ending on August 31, 2007.

The following table sets out the relevant percentages of offered shares to be issued, based on various percentile rankings of the Company:

Company Performance (TSR Percentile Ranking)	% of Shares offered granted to Executive
Up to the 50th percentile	0	%
At the 50th percentile	50	%
75th percentile or above	100	%
At or above the 90th percentile	125	%

No shares will be granted unless the Company’s TSR is at or above the 50th percentile.

If the Company’s TSR is between the 50th and 75th percentile, an additional proportion of the offer will be granted for each percentile increase above the 50th percentile (on a straight-line basis). There is no increase in the percentage of shares being granted between the 75th and 90th TSR percentile ranking.

On cessation of employment, all shares that have been offered but not granted will lapse unless the Board decides that there is a Qualifying Reason to make some or all of the shares available. Qualifying Reasons are death, disability, ill health or redundancy. Where an executive ceases employment because of a Qualifying Reason, the Board will determine the number of shares, if any, to be granted and whether, and to what extent, the performance conditions will apply.

The Company’s TSR was compared to it’s peer group for the 3 year performance period ending on August 31, 2007. The Company performance was measured at the 76^th percentile of the peer group and 100% of the shares offered were granted to each eligible executive. The Managing Director, Dr Rod Houston was granted 300,000 shares under this offer.

ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING

Nature Of Trading Market

Orbital’s ordinary shares are traded on the ASX. The ASX is a nationally operated stock exchange with an Automated Trading System in the capital city of each Australian state.

The ordinary shares are also traded in the United States in the form of ADSs evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) issued by The Bank of New York as depositary under a deposit agreement dated May 9, 2003. Each ADS represents forty ordinary shares. The ADSs have traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) with effect from July 1, 2004, under the symbol “OBTLY”. Prior to that time, the ADSs were traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) but were de-listed as a result of Orbital’s non-compliance with NYSE’s continued listing requirements relating to market capitalization and stockholder equity.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing sale prices per share and the high and low day trade volume of Orbital’s fully paid ordinary shares based upon information provided by the ASX Automated Trading System, and the high and low closing sale prices per ADS and the high and low day trade volume as reported on the NYSE to June 30, 2004 and thereafter on the OTCBB. Note that effective May 9, 2003 the ratio of ordinary shares to ADSs was changed from 1 : 8 to 1 : 40. The figures below for 2002-2003 Q4 have, where necessary, been adjusted to reflect the change in ratio.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Memorandum and Articles (Constitution)

No objects and purposes of the Company are stated or, under Australian law, are required to be stated, in the Company’s Constitution.

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting on October 26, 2004 shareholders voted to adopt a new Constitution for the Company – refer Exhibit 1.1.

Under the Company’s Constitution:

• a Director may not vote in relation to any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which the Director has, directly or indirectly, a material interest;

• the maximum total of fees payable to Directors is required to be approved by the Company in general meeting;

• the Directors may at any time exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money, except to the extent that such powers are required by law or the Listing Rules of Australian Stock Exchange Limited to be exercised by the Company in general meeting;

• a Director may not hold office in contravention of the Corporations Act 2001 (Aust.); and

• a Director is not required to have a share qualification.

The Company has fully paid ordinary shares on issue. All options issued under the Employee Option Plan (see Item 6. – “Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Share Ownership”) have expired. Dividends, as declared by Directors and which are only payable from profits, are payable on all fully paid ordinary shares equally. Except as otherwise provided by statute, all dividends unclaimed for one year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed.

At meetings of shareholders, each shareholder present in person or by proxy or representative has, on a show of hands, one vote and, on a poll, each shareholder present in person or by proxy or representative has one vote in respect of each fully paid share held by that shareholder. Nothing in the Company’s Constitution discriminates against any existing or prospective holder of shares in the Company as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.

Changes to the rights of shareholders in relation to a particular class of shares may only be made with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of that class of share. The Company does not currently have different classes of shares.

Details of requirements for Directors to stand for re-election are set out at “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Board Practices”.

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, any Director may whenever that Director thinks fit convene a general meeting of shareholders of the Company. Under the Corporations Act 2001, the Directors must call and arrange to hold a general meeting on the signed written request of either members with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at the general meeting or at least 100 members who are entitled to vote at the general meeting. The request must state any resolution to be proposed at the meeting. The Directors must call the meeting within 21 days after the request is given to the Company and the meeting is to be held not later than 2 months after the request is given to the Company.

Shareholders must be given at least 28 days written notice of a meeting of the Company’s shareholders, which notice may be given personally or by post and must set out:

• the place, date and time of the meeting;

• the general nature of the meeting’s business;

• the resolution, if a special resolution is proposed; and

• a shareholder’s right to appoint a proxy.

The persons entitled to attend a general meeting of the Company shall be the shareholders (in person, by proxy or representative), the directors, the Company’s auditor and such other person or persons as the meeting may approve.

There are no limitations under the Constitution of Orbital to the right of non-residents to hold or vote ordinary shares.

Takeovers of Australian companies by foreign interests are subject to review and approval by the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Australia under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975. The statute applies to any

- 49 -

acquisition or proposed acquisition of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of an Australian company by one foreign person or group of associated foreign persons or any acquisition or proposed acquisition which results in one foreign person or group of associated foreign persons controlling 15% or more of total voting power. In addition, the statute applies to any acquisition or proposed acquisition by non-associated foreign persons resulting in foreign persons controlling, in the aggregate, 40% or more of total voting power or ownership.

Material Contracts

Other than the Executive Service Agreement referred to in Exhibit 10.1, there are no material contracts (other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business) to which the Company or any member of the Orbital Group is a party in the two years immediately prior to publication of this document.

Exchange Controls

Under existing Australian legislation, the Reserve Bank of Australia does not prohibit the import and export of funds, and generally no governmental permission is required for Orbital to move funds in and out of Australia. However, for the movement of funds to and from “tax havens”, as specified by current regulations, a tax clearance certificate must be obtained. The United States is not a declared tax haven. Accordingly, at the present time, remittances of any dividends, interest or other payments by Orbital to non-resident holders of Orbital’s securities in the United States are not restricted by exchange controls.

Taxation

The following is a summary of material United States federal income and Australian tax consequences of the ownership of ordinary shares or ADSs by US Holders. Except as otherwise noted, the statements of Australian and United States tax laws set out below are based on the laws in force, as of the date of this Annual Report, and are subject to any changes in United States or Australian law, and in any double taxation convention between the United States and Australia, occurring after that date possibly with retroactive effect.

On September 27, 2001, a Protocol was signed to amend the double tax convention between Australia and the United States. The Protocol provides for reductions in withholding taxes on certain dividends, interest and royalties. In particular, no withholding tax will be chargeable in the source country on dividends payable to a listed public company from an 80% or more beneficially owned subsidiary. The rate of withholding tax on royalties will be reduced from 10% to 5%. The Protocol was formally ratified on May 13, 2003 and has effect from July 1, 2003 in relation to withholding taxes and from income tax years beginning on or after July 1, 2004 for other taxes covered by the Protocol.

For purposes of this discussion, a US Holder is any beneficial owner of ADSs or ordinary shares that is:

• a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation organised under the laws of the United States or any state;

• an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax without regard to its source; or

• a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

Australian Taxation

The following summary outlines the Australian income tax implications to non-resident holders of ADSs and ordinary shares who held ADSs or ordinary shares as capital assets. The summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations, and holders of ADSs and ordinary shares are advised to satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences regarding the application of any relevant Double Taxation Agreement, by consulting their own tax advisers. The summary is based on legislation and case law applicable at the date of this report. Future legislative changes and developments in case law interpretation may impact upon the taxation position set out below.

- 50 -

Residency

A natural person will be a resident of Australia if that person has been in Australia for more than 183 days in a year of income, unless that person has a usual place of abode outside of Australia and does not intend to take up residency in Australia.

A corporation will be a resident of Australia if it is incorporated in Australia, or if not being incorporated in Australia, carries on business in Australia, and has either its central management and control in Australia, or its voting power is controlled by shareholders who are residents of Australia.

Taxation of Dividends

Dividends paid by an Australian resident corporation may be paid as franked or unfranked dividends. Australian corporations are required to provide shareholders with notices detailing the extent to which dividends are franked or unfranked, and the deduction, if any, of dividend withholding tax. To the extent to which those dividends are paid out of profits which have been subject to Australian company tax, they will be franked dividends. Fully franked dividends paid to a non-resident will be exempt from Australian dividend withholding tax. Unfranked or partially franked dividends will be subject to Australian dividend withholding tax to the extent the dividends are unfranked. The rate of withholding tax on dividends is discussed below.

Shareholders who elect to participate in a dividend reinvestment plan in effect elect to invest their dividends in an allotment of ordinary shares. As is the case with a cash dividend, the receipt of these additional ordinary shares will represent assessable income to an Australian resident shareholder, and will carry franking credits to the same extent as any cash dividend.

The Australian Government provides a taxation incentive in the form of 125% tax deduction for companies which incur expenditure on research and development activities. This incentive has contributed to Orbital’s past level of accumulated carry forward tax losses, which were available for off-set against future income. The availability of these carry forward losses has impacted the amount of tax Orbital has paid and accordingly, the ability of Orbital to pay franked dividends.

Bonus shares issued to existing shareholders out of a share capital account are not dividends for Australian income tax purposes, and are therefore not subject to dividend withholding tax.

Withholding Tax on Dividends

The double taxation treaty between Australia and the United States limits the Australian dividend withholding tax on the unfranked portion of dividends paid to a US resident who is beneficially entitled to the dividend to 15%, unless the shareholder carries on business in Australia through a permanent establishment, or performs independent personal services from a fixed base in Australia, and his share holding is effectively connected with the permanent establishment or fixed base, in which case a 30% withholding tax applies. From July 1, 2003 where a US resident holds at least 10%, but less than 80%, of the voting power of an Australian company, withholding tax on the unfranked portion of a dividend will be 5%.

A withholding tax exemption is available where a dividend paid by the company is paid out of profits which include certain dividends received from foreign companies.

Capital Gains Tax (“CGT”)

The sale of ADSs and ordinary shares may be subject to Australian CGT where the ADSs or the ordinary shares are held by:

• natural persons or corporations who are residents of Australia;

• non-residents of Australia who, together with their associates, beneficially hold or, at any time during the five years prior to the sale, held 10% or more of the issued capital of the company, or options or rights to acquire ADSs or ordinary shares; or

• non-residents and are used in carrying on a trade or business through a permanent establishment in Australia.

Australian CGT is generally payable upon the profit arising from the sale of assets acquired after September 19, 1985. For assets that are sold prior to September 21, 1999 the profit is calculated as the disposal proceeds less the costs, indexed for inflation for assets held for at least twelve months. Capital losses are not subject to indexation and can only be offset against capital gains.

- 51 -

For assets that are sold after September 21, 1999 the taxation treatment depends on whether the assets were sold by an individual or a company. Special rules also apply to Australian complying superannuation funds.

For assets that were acquired prior to September 21, 1999 by an individual, and held for at least one year, the individual taxpayer now has a choice of including in assessable income either:

• 50% of the profit on sale; or

• 100% of the difference between the disposal price and the indexed cost base as at September 30, 1999.

For assets acquired on or after September 21, 1999 by an individual, and held for at least one year, the individual will only be taxed on 50% of the difference between the disposal price and the original cost.

For assets that are sold after September 21, 1999, the capital gain is calculated as the disposal proceeds less the costs, indexed for inflation to September 30, 1999 for assets held for at least one year. Companies are not eligible for the 50% discount treatment.

Where the asset is held for less than one year, 100% of the gain will be assessable for both individuals and companies.

Assets acquired before September 19, 1985 generally remain free from tax. Capital losses are not available in respect of assets acquired before this date.

Ordinary shares issued to a shareholder who is a resident for Australian tax purposes, through participation in the dividend reinvestment plan will be deemed to be acquired when issued and will be subject to Australian CGT upon disposal as discussed above, regardless of the date of acquisition of the relevant original shares participating in the plan.

Stamp Duty

No Australian stamp duty will be payable on the issue or stock market transfer of an ADS, provided the ADS is registered on a register kept by or on behalf of the person who issued the ADS in the United States, and the ADS is registered on the register:

• for at least six months before the transfer, or on or before March 14, 1997; or

• since they were issued; and

• the transfer of the ADS must be made by an order lodged with a broker who is a member of the New York or NASDAQ stock exchanges; or

• be solely for the purpose of facilitating settlement of a transfer described above.

From July 1, 2001, no Australian stamp duty is payable on the transfer of Orbital’s ordinary shares.

United States Federal Income Taxation

The following is a summary of the material United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the ownership and disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This summary applies only to holders who hold ADSs or ordinary shares as capital assets and does not apply to holders of ADSs or ordinary shares that are subject to special rules, such as holders that:

• are generally exempt from United States Federal income tax,

• actually or constructively own ten percent or more of the voting shares of the Company,

• are dealers in ADSs or ordinary shares,

• are traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting,

• are banks or life insurance companies,

• acquired ADSs or ordinary shares under employee share plans or otherwise as compensation,

• are liable for alternative minimum tax,

• hold ADSs or ordinary shares as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction, or

• have a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar.

- 52 -

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, as well as on the Convention between the United States of America and Australia (the “Treaty”). These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

This summary is also based in part on representations of the Depositary and assumes that each obligation provided for in or otherwise contemplated by the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms. Beneficial owners of ADSs or ordinary shares are advised to consult their tax advisers as to the Australian, United States and other tax consequences resulting from the ownership and disposition of ADSs and ordinary shares, including state and local tax consequences.

A U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of ADSs or ordinary shares that is:

• a citizen or resident of the United States

• a domestic corporation

• an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

• a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

For United States Federal income tax purposes, holders of ADRs evidencing ADSs will generally be treated as owners of the ordinary shares underlying such ADRs. Exchanges of ordinary shares for ADRs, and ADRs for ordinary shares, generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax.

Taxation of Dividends

Under the United States federal income tax laws, and subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, U.S. Holders will include in gross income the gross amount of any dividend paid, before reduction for Australian withholding taxes, by Orbital out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes. Dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. Holders in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011 that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable at a maximum rate of 15 percent provided that the U.S. Holder holds the ADSs or ordinary shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meets other holding period requirements. Dividends paid with respect to the shares or ADSs generally will be qualified dividend income.

U.S. Holders must include any Australian tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though they do not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to a U.S. Holder when such U.S. Holder, in the case of ordinary shares, or the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, receives the dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations.

The amount of the dividend distribution to be included in income of a U.S. Holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the Australian dollar payments made, determined at the spot Australian dollar/US dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution is includible in the income of the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is includible in income to the date such payment is converted into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in the ordinary shares or ADSs and thereafter as capital gain.

Subject to foreign tax credit limitations, the Australian tax withheld in accordance with the double taxation treaty between Australia and the United States and paid over to Australia will be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s United States federal income tax liability. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends that are subject to the maximum 15 percent tax rate. Dividends will be income from sources outside the United States. Dividends paid in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2007 generally will be “passive” or “financial services” income and dividends paid in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006 will, depending on the U.S. Holder’s circumstances, be “passive” or “general” income which, in either case, is treated separately from other types of income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to U.S. Holders.

- 53 -

It is possible that we are or will be at least 50% owned by persons treated as United States persons under the U.S. tax code. Under Section 904(h) of the U.S. tax code, dividends paid by a non-U.S. corporation that is at least 50% owned by U.S. persons may be treated as U.S. source income rather than non-U.S. source income for foreign tax credit purposes to the extent the non-U.S. corporation has more than an insignificant amount of U.S. source income. The effect of this rule, if applicable in future years, may be to treat a portion of the dividends paid by us as United States source income for foreign tax credit purposes. Such treatment may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to use foreign tax credits.

Distributions of additional ordinary shares to U.S. Holders with respect to their ordinary shares or ADSs that are made as part of a pro rata distribution to all shareholders of the company will generally not be subject to United States federal income tax.

U.S. Holders of ADSs or ordinary shares that elect, under either the bonus share election plan or the dividend reinvestment plan, to receive additional ordinary shares at a discount rather than cash dividends will be treated for United States Federal income tax purposes as having received a dividend equal to the fair market value of the additional ordinary shares received.

Taxation of Capital Gains

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon a sale or other disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in the ordinary shares or ADSs sold or otherwise disposed of. Capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. Holder that is recognized in taxable years beginning on or after May 6, 2003 and before January 1, 2011 is generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15 percent where the holder has a holding period greater than one year. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Orbital believes that ordinary shares and ADSs should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is a factual determination made annually and thus may be subject to change based upon future developments or changes in Orbital’s gross income or the value of its assets. If Orbital were to be treated as a PFIC, unless a U.S. Holder elects to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to the ordinary shares or ADSs, gain realized on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs would in general not be treated as capital gain. The U.S. Holder would be treated as if such holder had realized such gain and certain “excess distributions” rateably over the holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares or ADSs and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, together with an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year. With certain exceptions, ordinary shares or ADSs will be treated as stock in a PFIC if Orbital was a PFIC at any time during the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the ordinary shares or ADSs. Dividends that a U.S. Holder receives from Orbital will not be eligible for the special tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income if Orbital is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder either in the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, but instead will be taxable at rates applicable to ordinary income.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market Exposures

We are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and credit risk. To manage the volatility relating to these risks, we take advantage of natural offsets to the extent possible. For example, whenever possible we have cash expenses in the same countries and currencies as we generate our cash flows. In appropriate circumstances, and where we are unable to naturally offset our exposure to these risks, we enter into derivative transactions to synthetically reduce the exposures. The purpose of these hedging instruments is to create a corresponding, but opposite, movement in the underlying value of the cash flow being hedged. We enter into these transactions only in accordance with internal policies set by our directors. We do not hold or enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

A summary of market risk factors is generally discussed below. For additional quantitative and qualitative information about these market risks, refer to note 31 “Financial Instruments” to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

Our policy is to manage our interest rate risk through the use of both fixed and floating rate debt and cash assets.

As of June 30, 2007, we had no interest bearing liabilities outstanding.

As of June 30, 2007, we had total interest earning cash assets of $11.287 million of which $9.803 million was held in fixed interest bank bills maturing in less than one year. Changes in interest rates will have no effect on the interest income generated by these cash assets during the fixed rate period. We also had approximately $1.484 million cash earning interest at floating rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are an international group of companies based in Australia. In fiscal 2007, the functional currencies of our major markets outside Australia were the U.S. dollar, the Euro and the Japanese yen. As a result, we were, and continue to be, exposed to risk arising from movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

These risks include:

• financial reporting;

• cash flow; and

• specific transactions.

Financial Reporting. We report our financial results in Australian dollars. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates will affect our reported financial results, financial position and cash flows. We attempt to match revenue and expenses and assets and liabilities to the maximum extent practicable.

For the year ended June 30, 2007, we recorded an unrealized foreign exchange loss of A$0.069 million in our operating results. This loss arose mainly from the translation into Australian dollars of U.S. dollar and Euro denominated receivables and bank accounts set out below.

	Foreign Currency Amount			Translated Exchange Rate	A$ Equivalent
Receivables - U.S. dollars	US$	0.435	m	0.8501	0.512	m
Receivables – Euro	Euro	0.015	m	0.6379	0.023	m
Cash – U.S. dollars	US$	0.254	m	0.8501	0.298	m
Cash – Euro	Euro	0.031	m	0.6379	0.048	m

- 55 -

Cash Flow. As discussed previously, we attempt to match our cash inflows and outflows by country and currency. The table below provides information about Orbital’s derivative and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in foreign currency fluctuations as at June 30.

Financial Instruments	Fair Value A$’000		Year End Exchange Rate A$
	2007	2006	2007	2006
Cash held in United States Dollars	298	87	0.8501	0.7417
Cash held in European currency units	48	42	0.6379	0.5904
Receivables in United States Dollars	512	957	0.8501	0.7417
Receivables in European currency units	23	15	0.6379	0.5904
Payables in United States Dollars	4,494	—	0.8501	—

Specific Transactions. If a company in the Group enters into a commitment to spend funds in a currency other than its own functional currency, that company generally will enter into a forward foreign exchange to hedge a portion of that specific transaction. For the year ended June 30, 2007, we derived approximately 14% of our revenue in foreign currency.

Details of Orbital’s foreign currency exchange instruments as at June 30, 2007 were as follows:

	Foreign Currency Amount			Exchange Rate		A$ Equivalent	Expiry Date
	US$	0.200	m	0.8118		246,366	July 31, 2007
	US$	0.300	m	0.8227		364,653	October 31, 2007
Total	US$	0.500	m	0.8183	(Average)	611,019
Fair Value at June 30, 2007	US$	0.500	m	0.8501		588,166

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. The risk that counterparties to derivative financial instruments might default on obligations is monitored.

The credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments of the consolidated entity that have been recognised on the statement of financial position, is the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts. The consolidated entity minimises concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a number of customers in various countries.

GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS

“Chassis dynamometer”	Equipment used to apply a load to a vehicle in order to measure its power or to simulate actual operating characteristics.
“Direct injection” or “DI”	In a gasoline engine, direct injection means fuel injection directly into the combustion chamber. Most automotive gasoline engines with fuel injection inject into the intake manifold, not the combustion chamber.
“Dynamometer”	A piece of equipment used to apply a load to an engine in order to measure its power or to simulate actual operating characteristics.
“Emissions”	Refers generally to the polluting exhaust gases of an engine which are subject to governmental legislation (usually HC, CO and NOx).
“EFI”	Electronic Fuel Injection is when the fuel delivery per engine cycle is calculated by the Engine Management System from various inputs (eg engine speed, load, airflow) to enable precise fuel metering/delivery to the intake manifold of the engine for improved combustion, fuel economy and emission control.
“Four-stroke”	A “four-stroke cycle” or sometimes called the “Otto cycle”. A type of internal combustion engine operating cycle requiring two full engine revolutions (two up and two down piston movements) per combustion event in an engine.
“Fuel Rail Assembly”	The fuel rail assembly is an assembly, typically a cast modular, or extruded assembly that houses the fuel injector, interfaces the fuel injector to the air injector and provides fuel and air services to the injectors. Frequently the air and fuel regulators will be incorporated into the fuel rail assembly.
“Horsepower”	A unit of measure of power in the U.S. and Imperial system. The metric equivalent of horsepower is Kilowatt. One Kilowatt is equivalent to 1.34hp.
“OCP”	Orbital Combustion Process. A general term to describe the fuel injection and combustion process developed and marketed by Orbital.
“OCP Technology”	A collective term to describe the proprietary and non-proprietary technology involved in the Orbital Combustion Process and the technology that contributes to enhance the performance of engines that employ the OCP Technology. The proprietary technology or intellectual property includes patents, patent applications, copyrights and confidential know-how and trade secrets.
“OrbitalTM Engine”	A vane-type rotary internal combustion engine originally invented by Orbital’s founder, Ralph Sarich. Orbital is no longer exploiting this technology.
“Production validation”	The process of engineering development carried out prior to the decision to produce a product in commercial quantities. Production validation tests attempt to simulate actual commercial use.
Stoichiometric	The chemically correct or theoretical proportions of reactants (fuel and air) in order for complete combustion to occur. Complete combustion is a process which burns all the carbon (C) to (CO2), all hydrogen (H) to (H2O) and all sulphur (S) to (SO2). If there are unburned components in the exhaust gas such as C, H2, CO the combustion process is uncompleted
“Two-stroke”	In full, a “two-stroke cycle”. A type of internal combustion engine operating cycle requiring one full engine revolution (one up and one down piston movement) per combustion event in an engine.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Orbital Corporation Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Orbital Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (the “Consolidated Entity”) as of 30 June 2007, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of cash flows, and recognised income and expenses for each of the years in the three year period ended 30 June 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Consolidated Entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Consolidated Entity as of 30 June 2007, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended 30 June 2007, in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001. In complying with Australian Accounting Standards, the financial statements are also in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Australian Accounting Standards vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Notes 34 and 35 to the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) (Including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial reports of the Group and the Company also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and the interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

(b) Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:

• derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value

• non-interest bearing liabilities are measured at fair value.

The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 4.

(c) Functional and Presentation Currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and the functional currency of the majority of the Group.

The Company is of a kind referred to in Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.

(d) Use of Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by management in the application of Australian Accounting Standards that have a significant effect on the financial report and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 4.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:

• Note 17 – utilisation of tax losses

• Note 21– measurement of non-interest bearing liabilities

• Note 3 (i) – measurement of share based payments

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

The entity has elected to early adopt the following accounting standards and amendments:

• AASB 101Presentation of Financial Statements (October 2006)

In the prior financial year the Group adopted AASB 132:Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in accordance with the transitional rules of AASB 1:First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. This change has been accounted for by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings and reserves at 1 July 2005, as disclosed in the reconciliation of movements in equity note 26.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(a) Basis of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

(ii) Associates

Associates are those entities for which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of a jointly-controlled associate on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. For a number of years, the Group’s share of losses exceeded its interest in the joint venture, and during that period, the Group’s carrying amount was reduced to nil and recognition of further losses continued to the extent that the Group had incurred legal or constructive obligations on behalf of an associate. During the year ended 30 June 2006, the joint venture recouped past losses, the Group released its provision for losses to profit or loss account, and equity accounting has now been resumed. The Group’s share of the joint venture’s net profit or loss was recognised in the consolidated income statement during the period and will continue until the date joint control ceases. Other movements in reserves, post recommencing equity accounting, are recognised directly in consolidated reserves.

(iii) Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

Intra-group balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity with adjustments made to the investment in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Gains and losses are recognised as the contributed assets are consumed or sold by the associates or, if not consumed or sold by the associate, when the Group’s interest in such entities is disposed of.

(b) Foreign Currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date (except those representing the Group’s net investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities – see below) are retranslated to the functional currency (Australian dollars) at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to the functional currency (Australian dollars) at exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

(ii) Financial statements of foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised directly in a separate component of equity described as ‘foreign currency translation reserve’. In respect of all foreign operations, the Company has opted to use the exemption in AASB 1, whereby all foreign exchange differences that have arisen before 1 July 2004 have been expensed to profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses are therefore deemed to be zero as at 1 July 2004.

(iii) Net investment in foreign operations

Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. They are released into the income statement upon disposal.

In respect of all foreign operations, any differences that have arisen after 1 July 2004, the date of transition to AIFRS, are presented as a separate component of equity.

(c) Financial Instruments

(i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(c) Financial Instruments (continued)

(i) Non-derivative financial instruments (continued)

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are stated at their amortised cost, less impairment losses. The collectibility of debts is assessed at balance sheet date and specific provision is made for any doubtful accounts. Normal settlement terms are 30 to 45 days.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, at call deposits and bank-endorsed bills of exchange at discounted value.

Non-interest bearing liabilities

Included in non-current liabilities is an amount owing to the Government of Western Australia resulting from a loan of $19,000,000 made to the Company in 1989. The loan is interest-free until repayment of this loan becomes due in May 2014 or prior to that date, by five equal annual instalments, if the worldwide aggregate number of OCP engines produced exceeds 5,000,000. The aggregate number of engines produced with OCP technology as at 30 June 2007 totalled approximately 556,000.

As at 1 July 2005 the non-interest bearing loan from the Government of Western Australia was recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and repayment value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

Present value of additional investment in Synerject LLC

Included in non-current liabilities is an amount owing to Siemens VDO for the Group to maintain its 50% interest in Synerject LLC by the payment of US$4 million which has been deferred from 28 September 2006 to 30 June 2008. The liability was initially recognised at its fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost with any difference between the fair value and the future payment value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the settlement deferral under the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables

Liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received. Trade and other payables are stated at their amortised cost.

Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30-day terms.

Investments at fair value through profit or loss

The Group invests surplus cash in bank-endorsed bills of exchange at discounted values. These financial instruments are classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Derivative financial instruments

The Group may use derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group entity does not hold the derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument are recognised in profit or loss.

Cash flow hedges

Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity remains there until the forecast transaction occurs. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in equity is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when it is recognised. In other cases the amount recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The cost of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

F-8

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

(iii) Depreciation and Amortisation

Items of property, plant and equipment, including buildings but excluding freehold land, are depreciated/amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The depreciation rates used in the current and comparative period for each class of asset are as follows: Buildings 2.5%; Plant and Equipment 6.67% to 33.3%. Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition.

The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.

(iv) Valuation

Land and buildings are independently valued every three years on a market value basis of valuation. The Directors then use these valuations to assess the recoverable amount of land and buildings.

(e) Intangibles

(i) Research and Development

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development.

Expenditure on intangibles which may be capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Capitalised expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation will be charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite.

(ii) Patents, Licences and Technologies

Patents, licences and technology development and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

(f) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on the first-in first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(g) Impairment

(i) Financial assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its current fair value.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.

(ii) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

F-9

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g) Impairment (continued)

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(h) Share capital

(i) Dividends

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

(ii) Transaction Costs

Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit.

(i) Employee Benefits

(i) Short-term benefits

The provisions for employee entitlements to wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave, to be settled within 12 months of year end represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided up to the balance date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at the reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers’ compensation and payroll tax. Sick leave recognised as a liability represents expected future payments as a result of employees utilising non vesting accumulated sick leave entitlements while recovering from serious injury or illness. The Group does not recognise a liability when it is probable that sick leave taken in the future will not be greater than the entitlements that will accrue in the future.

(ii) Long Service Leave

The provision for employee entitlements to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made resulting from employees’ services provided up to balance sheet date.

The provision is calculated using estimated future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on the Group’s experience with staff departures and is discounted using the rates attached to national government securities at balance sheet date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities.

(iii) Defined Contribution Superannuation Fund

Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution superannuation fund are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

(iv) Share-based payment transactions

Employees have been offered the right to take up shares in the Company under two plans, one of which is subject to qualification by length of service and achievement of corporate performance targets related to returns to shareholders. The fair value of shares granted to employees is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date taking into account market performance conditions only, and spread over the vesting period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the performance–based shares. The fair value of the shares granted is measured using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The fair value of shares will be measured having regard to the conditions attached to the shares and the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of shares that vest except where forfeiture is only due to market conditions that are not met.

(v) Employee redundancy benefits

Provisions for employee redundancy benefits are only recognised when a detailed plan has been approved and the employee redundancies have either commenced or been publicly announced, or firm commitments related to the redundancy benefits have been entered into. Costs related to ongoing activities are not provided for.

F-10

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(j) Provisions - Warranties

Provision for warranty is recognised when the underlying products are sold. The provision is primarily based on historical claim data.

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(k) Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). Exchanges of goods or services of the same nature and value without any cash consideration are not recognised as revenues.

(i) Revenue from Rendering of Services and Sale of Goods

Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the extent of work performed. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, or the costs incurred or to be incurred cannot be measured reliably, or there is a risk of return of goods or there is continuing management involvement with the goods.

Revenue from rendering services is recognised in the period in which the service is provided.

Revenue earned under various licence, royalty and other agreements is recognised upon the satisfactory completion of contracted technical specifications. Additional revenue may be earned after a fixed time interval or after delivery of a prototype engine and/or hardware meeting specified performance targets, provided the licence agreements are not terminated. Under the terms of the licence agreements, licensees are not specifically obliged to commence production and sale of engines using OCP Technology and may terminate the agreements upon notice to Orbital. If a licensee were to terminate its licence agreement with Orbital, the licensee would forfeit the licence and any technical disclosure fees paid through to the date of termination. Revenue under royalty agreements is recognised when such amounts become due and payable.

Revenue received in advance represents cash payments received from customers in accordance with contractual commitments prior to the performance of the service.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.

(ii) Interest Income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues.

(iii) Asset Sales

The net profit or loss from asset sales are included as other income or expenses of the Group. The profit or loss on disposal of assets is brought to account at the date that an unconditional contract of sale is signed. The profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal.

(l) Leases

(i) Operating lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense and spread over the lease term.

(m) Finance income and expense

Financing costs and other income include separate disclosure of interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, interest receivable on funds invested, dividend income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and gains and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in the income statement . Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred and included in net financing costs.

Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues. Dividend income is recognised in the income statement on the date the entity’s right to receive payments is established which in the case of quoted securities is ex-dividend date.

F-11

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(n) Income Tax

(i) Current income tax expense and liability

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

(ii) Deferred income tax expense and liability

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

(iii) Tax Consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Orbital Corporation Limited.

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries is assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to (from) other entities in the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts. Any difference between these amounts is recognised by the Company as an equity contribution or distribution.

The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

(o) Segment Reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The Group’s primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments.

(p) Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amounts of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(q) Accounting estimates and judgements

Management discussed with the Audit Committee the development, selection and disclosure of the Group’s critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In note 31 detailed analysis is given of the foreign exchange exposure of the Group and risks in relation to foreign exchange movements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

3. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(r) Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. There were no potential ordinary shares outstanding during the current or comparative period.

(s) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2007, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

(i) Derivatives

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their quoted market price.

(ii) Non interest-bearing liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the date of recognition of the liability.

(iii) Share based payments

The fair value of employee performance share rights is measured using the assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes methodology to produce a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Measurement inputs include share price on grant date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the time to maturity of the right, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s business and geographical segments. The primary format, business segment, is based on the Group’s management and internal reporting structure.

Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly income-earning assets and revenue, interest-bearing loans, borrowings and expenses, and corporate assets and expenses.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one period.

Business segments

The Group comprises the following main business segments:

• Engineering services; and

• Royalties and licences.

Geographical segments

The engineering services and royalties and licences segments are managed on a worldwide basis.

In presenting information on the basis of geographical segments, segment revenue is based on the geographical location of customers. Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the assets.

INTEREST IN SYNERJECT LLC

As at 30 June 2007, the Group holds a 50% interest in Synerject LLC, a joint venture entity with Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation (30 June 2006: 50%). The principal activities of Synerject LLC are the marketing, sale and manufacture, including research and development in the area of engine management of non-automotive systems and components and automotive components related to the Orbital combustion process.

Siemens VDO Automotive and Synerject LLC entered into an agreement in January 2003 to provide loan funds to Synerject LLC. As part of this arrangement Orbital Corporation Limited continued its guarantee of 50% of the obligations of Synerject LLC arising under the loan agreement. This loan was repaid during the comparison reporting period.

Both Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation and the Company have made additional capital contributions in June 2006.

Potential future changes to percentage shareholding in Synerject LLC

Synerject LLC was restructured and refinanced during fiscal year 2003. In January 2003, new financing arrangements were put in place for Synerject LLC until 30 September 2006. As part of the restructure, in April 2003, Synerject LLC acquired, by way of capital contributions from each joint venturer, the operations of Orbital’s marine and recreation system sales business and Siemens VDO’s non-automotive systems business. The actual performance of each of these contributed businesses in the 3 year period to 30 June 2006, compared to the planned performances, will be reviewed to determine the optional adjustment (if any) to the percentage shareholdings of Orbital and Siemens VDO in Synerject LLC (“the recalculation”). The settlement of the arrangement has been deferred until 30 June 2008.

The maximum change in shareholdings as a result of the above recalculation is 10% i.e. ownership percentages of 40:60.

There is an option for the joint venturer who has the majority shareholding as determined by the recalculation above, to call from the other shareholder (“minority shareholder”) the percentage of shares determined by the recalculation. The minority shareholder may dilute their shareholding or may choose to exercise an option to maintain the 50:50 ownership structure by either paying the other joint venturer US$400,000 for each 1% interest of Synerject LLC or by injecting additional capital into Synerject LLC of US$800,000 for each 1% interest in Synerject LLC. The exercise date of these options was at the earliest July 1, 2006 but has been extended by two years to 30 June 2008.

The assessment of the contributed business performance will not be tabled until 30 June 2008 however the Directors anticipate that due to the stronger performance of the non-automotive systems business contributed by Siemens VDO, that Siemens VDO will become entitled to the full 10% under the recalculation provisions. To maintain Orbital’s 50% interest in Synerject (being the Director’s current intent), a liability representing the present value of US$4 million has been recognised which will become payable on 30 June 2008.

(a) The Government of Western Australia has provided the company with a fully utilised loan facility of $19,000,000 under the terms of a “Development Agreement”. Repayment of this facility will be in full on the date which is 25 years after the date on which the first advance is made (May 1989), or in any year prior to that date if the aggregate number of OCP engines produced, calculated on a worldwide basis, exceeds 5,000,000, by equal annual payments, each of one fifth of the loan, on 1 July in the year commencing 1 July following the year in which such production is achieved. No interest accrues on this facility until such time as the loan becomes payable.

This loan facility is secured by way of a second ranking floating debenture over the whole of the assets and undertakings of the Company.

The non-interest bearing loan from the Government of Western Australia is recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and repayment value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

25. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The details and estimated maximum amounts of contingent liabilities that may become payable are set out below. The directors are not aware of any circumstance or information that would lead them to believe that these liabilities will crystallise.

25.1 In the event of the Company terminating the employment of the Chief Executive Officer (other than by reason of serious misconduct or material breach of his service agreement), an equivalent of 12 months remuneration is payable to the CEO. There are no other contingent liabilities for termination benefits under the service agreements with Directors or other persons who take part in the management of any entity within the Group.

25.2 Settlement of dispute with Coles Myer Limited

In 1995 and 1996 Orbital entered into joint venture (JV) R & D syndicated arrangements with Coles Myer Ltd and subsidiaries (“CML”) to undertake research and development relating to production of vehicles using Orbital’s technology. The JV arrangements required payment of licence fees for the use of Orbital’s technology by the CML/Orbital JV.

CML advised Orbital that the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) had formed a preliminary opinion that some portion of the licence fees may not be tax deductible and that the ATO may reassess CML. The reduction in tax provided by these licence fees for CML is understood to be approximately $13 million and $8 million respectively in 1995/96 and 1996/97.

CML subsequently identified provisions of the relevant Transaction Documents that it asserted were a warranty by Orbital that CML would be entitled to tax deductions for licence fees paid by CML in the R&D transactions. It further asserted that any reassessment of CML by the ATO would be a breach of that asserted warranty.

On September 15, 2006, Orbital announced that it had settled its dispute with CML concerning the joint venture R & D syndicated arrangements Orbital and CML entered into in 1995 and 1996 and had agreed to pay CML $500,000 in full and final settlement of the Orbital/CML dispute. An additional $82,000 of legal expenses were incurred in connection to the settlement.

30. RELATED PARTIES (continued)

30.1 Key Management Personnel (continued)

Individual directors and executives compensation disclosures

Principles of compensation-audited

Remuneration is referred to as compensation throughout this report.

Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’) have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and the Group, including directors of the Company and other executives.

The Remuneration Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on remuneration packages and policies applicable to directors, secretaries and senior executives of the Company. The broad compensation policy is to ensure the compensation package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that compensation is consistent with current industry practice.

Data is obtained from independent surveys to ensure that compensation throughout the Group is set at market rates having regard to experience and performance. In this regard, formal performance appraisals are conducted at least annually for all employees. Compensation packages may include a mix of fixed compensation, performance-based compensation and equity-based compensation.

In addition to their salaries, the Group also provides non-cash benefits to its key management personnel.

Fixed compensation

Fixed compensation consists of base compensation (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges related to employee benefits including motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.

Compensation levels are reviewed annually by the remuneration committee through a process that considers segment and overall performance of the Group. In addition, data from independent surveys is reviewed to ensure the directors’ and senior executives’ compensation is competitive in the market place. A senior executive’s compensation is also reviewed on promotion.

Performance-linked compensation

Performance linked compensation includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward key management personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The short-term incentive (STI) is an “at risk” bonus provided in the form of cash, while the long-term incentive (LTI) is provided as ordinary shares of Orbital Corporation Limited under the rules of the Executive Long Term Share Plan.

Short-term Incentive

Executive directors and senior executives may receive bonuses based on the achievement of goals related to the performance of the Group, including a combination of sales, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) and cash and individual key performance indicators (KPI’s). These measures are chosen as they directly align the individual’s reward to the Group’s strategy and performance. Achievement of budgeted goals may result in bonuses of between 5 – 20% of salary. No bonus is awarded where performance falls below a minimum.

Long-term Incentive

Executives may also be offered shares in the Company’s Executive Long Term Share Plan under which offered shares will be granted subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions over a 3 year period or subject to Board discretion for other qualifying reasons. The performance conditions, which are based on the relative ranking of the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) of the Company to a group of selected peers, apply to determine the number of shares (if any) to be granted to the Executives.

TSR is the percentage increase in a company’s share price plus reinvested dividends over a given period and reflects the increase in value delivered to shareholders over that period. The peer group to which the Company’s TSR will be compared will comprise the 50 smallest companies, other than resource companies and property and investment trust companies, within the S&P / ASX 300 Index. These companies have a similar market capitalisation to the Company. The TSR performance criterion was chosen as it is widely accepted as one of the best indicators of shareholder wealth creation as it includes share price growth, dividends and other capital adjustments. In addition, this criterion provides a readily obtained objective means of measuring the Group’s performance against its peer group.

The Company’s TSR ranking at the end of the Performance Period, when compared to the TSR of the peer group will determine the percentage of shares originally offered which will be granted to the Executive.

30. RELATED PARTIES (continued)

30.1 Key Management Personnel (continued)

The following table sets out the relevant percentages based on various percentile rankings of the Company:

Company Performance (TSR Ranking)	% of offered shares issued to each executive
Up to the 50th percentile	0%
At or above the 50th percentile but below the 75th percentile	50% to 99% (on a straight line basis)
At or above the 75th percentile but below the 90th percentile	100%
At or above the 90th percentile	125%

No shares will be granted unless the Company’s TSR is at or above the 50th percentile. No shares have been issued under the LTI in the 2007 financial year as the company’s performance against its peer group ranked it below the 50^th percentile.

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting in October 2004, shareholders approved the above plan in relation to the ongoing remuneration of Executive Directors and senior executives.

Executive Directors and senior executives (together with all other eligible employees) are each offered shares in the Company, at no cost to the employees, to the value of $1,000 per annum under the terms of the Company’s Employee Share Plan. This plan is designed to align the interests of participating employees with those of shareholders. Participation of Executive Directors is subject to shareholder approval.

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholders wealth the Remuneration Committee has regard to the following indices:

	2007	2006		2005
EBIT ($ Millions)	1.603	1.023		(2.320	)
Dividends paid	—	—		—
Change in share price ($)	0.209	(0.014	)	(0.035	)
Return of capital	—	—		—

EBIT is considered in setting the STI as it is considered an important short term financial performance target. Dividends, changes in share price, and return of capital are included in the TSR calculation which is the performance criterion assessed for the LTI.

The STI/LTI were first introduced in 2001 for the 2001/02 financial year. An analysis of the remuneration and performance data since that time has revealed that performance targets in the STI plan were met in the 2003 and 2004 years, when the company recorded significant improvement in its results and in 2006 when the Company achieved strategic goals and positive EBIT. Performance targets under the LTI have not been met under the LTI since its inception and shares have not issued as a result.

Service Agreements

The service contract for the CEO is unlimited in term, but capable of termination on 12 months notice by the Company. The Company has the right to terminate the contract immediately by making payment equal to 12 months pay in lieu of notice. The CEO has the right to terminate the contract on 3 months notice. The CEO has no entitlement to termination payment in the event of removal for misconduct.

Contractual arrangements between the Company and other senior executives are also unlimited in term and provide for termination on one month’s notice (or payment in lieu) in accordance with the Company’s standard conditions. On termination of employment, executive directors and senior executives are also entitled to receive their statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service leave, together with any superannuation benefits.

Non-executive Directors

Total remuneration for all non-executive Directors, last voted upon by shareholders at the 2001 Annual General Meeting, is not to exceed $400,000 per annum. When setting fees and other compensation for non-executive Directors, the Board seeks independent advice and applies Australian and international benchmarks. The Chairman’s base fee is $100,000 per annum, plus a further fee of $5,050 per annum for membership of the Audit Committee. Other non-executive Directors’ base fees are currently $50,000 per annum. An additional fee of $5,050 per annum is payable for membership (other than as Chairman) of the Audit Committee. The Chairman of that Committee receives an additional fee of $7,070 per annum.

Non-executive Directors do not receive performance related remuneration.

No retirement benefits are payable to non-executive Directors.

Notes in relation to the table of directors’ and executive officers remuneration - audited

(a) Bonuses are those paid or accrued as payable in relation to the year reported.

(b) The fair value of the employee share plan is based upon the market value (at offer date) of shares offered.

(c) The fair value of the Executive Long Term Share plan is calculated at the date of grant through utilisation of the assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes methodology to produce a Monte-Carlo simulation model and allocated to each reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date. The value disclosed is the portion of the fair value of the shares recognised in this reporting period. In valuing the shares the hurdles that must be met before the executive long term share plan shares vest in the holder have been taken into account.

The following factors and assumptions were used in determining the fair value of shares on grant date:

Grant Date	Life	Fair Value per share	Exercise Price	Price of shares on grant date	Expected volatility		Risk free interest rate
31-Aug-04	3 years	13.3 cents	nil	15.0 cents	60.00	%	5.29	%
30-Aug-05	3 years	9.9 cents	nil	11.0 cents	38.80	%	5.03	%
31-Aug-06	3 years	7.1 cents	nil	9.6 cents	33.40	%	5.79	%

(d) Dr Houston was appointed effective 30 September 2005. Remuneration disclosed represents total remuneration for the year.

(e) Mr Cook resigned effective 30 September 2005.

(f) Mr Schmidt’s remuneration is based in US$ and reported at an exchange rate of 0.7932 (2006: 0.7321). Mr Schmidt is included above as his remuneration is within the 5 highest paid executives not being directors.

(g) Mr Baskovich is included above as his remuneration is within the 5 highest paid executives not being directors. Mr Baskovich resigned from the company on 27 April 2007. Mr Baskovich’s 2007 remuneration includes accrued leave benefits paid upon the termination of his employment of $51,380.

32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

32.1 Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily U.S. Dollars (USD) and European Currency Units (Euro).

The Group incorporates risk management procedures for at least 60 percent of its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of forecast royalties and sales over the following six months. The Group uses forward exchange contracts to mitigate its foreign currency risk. All of the forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year after the reporting date. Where necessary, the forward exchange contracts are rolled over at maturity.

Forecast transactions

The Group classifies its forward exchange contracts as fair value through profit or loss. The net fair value of forward exchange contracts used at 30 June 2007 was $21,548 (2006: ($11,184); 2005: $7,372), comprising assets of $21,548 (2006: $nil; 2005: $7,372) and liabilities $nil (2006: $11,184; 2005: $nil).

32.2 Credit Risk

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Group does not require collateral in respect of financial assets.

Investments are allowed only in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a credit rating equal to or better than the Group. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

34.2  Other Comprehensive Income

US GAAP defines comprehensive income as the change in equity of a business enterprise from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Examples include (in addition to net income or loss) unrealised holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, gains and losses from derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, and foreign currency translation adjustments.

35. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AIFRS AND US GAAP

(a) Additional disclosure regarding Deferred Tax Asset

Under AIFRS and US GAAP deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent the likelihood of realising the tax benefit is determined to be more likely than not. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income arising in the US operations (including Synerject LLC), recent operating results, budgets and longer term projections for future taxable income in the US operations over the period in which the deferred tax assets may be realized, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences and loss carry forwards, net of the recorded valuation allowances at June 30, 2007.

Of the total potential deferred tax asset of A$246.460 million (2006: A$246.649 million; 2005: A$245.099 million) at current income tax rates, A$6.445 million was recognised as a deferred tax asset at 30 June 2006 and taxable profits in the United States for the year ended June 30, 2007 and exchange rate movements have reduced the deferred tax asset by A$0.819 million with a further A$0.456 million recognised, resulting in a deferred tax asset of A$6.082 million at June 30, 2007. The gross value of capital loss carry forwards and temporary differences from provision for capital loss on investment have been provided for in full, by way of valuation allowance, as the Company does not consider it more likely than not that these will be recovered in the foreseeable future as the Company does not expect to incur future capital gains.

The gross value of the deferred tax asset has decreased due to foreign exchange differences on translation of US dollar tax losses, the utilisation of tax losses in foreign jurisdictions, net of additional Australian tax losses not brought to account. The valuation allowance has decreased, reflecting the increase in gross value of the deferred tax asset in addition to an adjustment of A$0.456 million to recognise additional tax losses that are more likely than not to be recoverable from future income.

The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. A significant portion of the remaining income tax losses of A$30.131 million may potentially be booked in future periods once profit history and other positive indicators of future profitability are available to support the assertion that the likelihood of realising the tax benefit is determined to be more likely than not.

Gross income tax loss carry forwards at June 30, 2007 total approximately US$51.928 million and A$52.633 million in the United States and Australia respectively. This compares with US$51.400 million and A$52.770 million in the United States and Australia respectively at June 30, 2006.

35. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AIFRS AND US GAAP (continued)

(b) Equity Accounting of Investment in Synerject LLC

Under AIFRS and the previous GAAP an investor discontinues equity accounting at the point when an equity investment is reduced to zero. At such time and until the equity investment increases in value above zero the investor only provides for losses from the investee for legal loss event obligations to the extent of any guarantees provided with respect to the investee. In the case of the Company’s investment in Synerject LLC, the Company recognized losses as a result of the guarantee provided by the Company in respect of certain of Synerject LLC’s borrowing arrangements. Movements in this provision are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

At 30 June 2005, the Company had recognised a liability of A$0.654 million with respect to its 50% share in the adjusted net asset deficiency of Synerject LLC. This was reversed as at 31 December 2005, as a direct result of the recognition of current and cumulative profits attributable to its interest in Synerject LLC and the resulting excess of assets over liabilities of Synerject LLC. As the equity investment has increased above zero the Company is accounting for Synerject LLC, and brings to account in each reporting period its interest in the profits and losses and other changes in equity for its interest in Synerject LLC.

Under US GAAP however the Company is required to continue to equity account its investment in Synerject LLC even when the investment value falls below zero because of the existence of the Company’s guarantee of Synerject LLC’s obligations. Orbital therefore has continued (under US GAAP) to recognise its proportionate share of losses of Synerject LLC resulting in a negative carrying value of its investment at June 30, 2005. In addition under US GAAP, foreign currency translation adjustments arising as a result of the application of the equity method of accounting for the investment are to be reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, resulting in a reclassification from the consolidated statements of operations as reported under AIFRS and the previous GAAP. This resulted in a reclassification from the consolidated statements of operations to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of $307,000 for fiscal 2005, 2006 $nil, in arriving at net profit/(loss) according to US GAAP and shareholders equity/(deficit) according to US GAAP.

In addition Orbital’s share of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income within Synerject LLC’s own financial statements, arising from foreign currency translation adjustments on consolidation of Synerject LLC’s overseas subsidiary are also reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and adjusted against the carrying value of the investment in Synerject LLC. This resulted in a decrease in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of $66,000 for fiscal 2006 and $nil for fiscal 2007 and an increase in the net investment in Synerject LLC of the same amount, until the recommencement of equity accounting. The resultant cumulative difference recognised at the recommencement of equity accounting of $390,000 is included in the AIFRS reversal of provision for Synerject LLC in the AIFRS Profit and Loss Account which results in a US GAAP difference in the US GAAP Profit and Loss Account in 2006.

Under AIFRS the Company recognised on 28 September 2006 an additional investment in Synerject and a liability for the deferred settlement of the potential payment to Siemens VDO to maintain the 50% interest in the joint venture. The additional investment and deferred settlement were initially recorded at fair value with the deferred settlement subsequently stated at amortised cost. (See note 21). Under USGAAP however the liability, asset and subsequent interest expense are not recognised. This adjustment results in a reduction of the investment in Synerject of $4.344 million (2006:$nil), a reduction in the non-interest bearing liabilities of $4.495 million (2006: $nil) and a reduction of the interest expense for fiscal 2007 of $0.162 million (2006: $nil).

In addition Orbital recognises under AIFRS a 50% interest in the profits and other comprehensive incomes of Synerject, however under USGAAP the Company only recognises a 40% interest in those items. This adjustment results in a reduction of the share of profits recognised of $0.503 million (2006: $nil), a reduction in the share of Synerject’s foreign currency translation reserve $0.041 million (2006: $nil), a reduction in the share of Synerject’s hedging reserve of $0.007 million, and a reduction in the carrying value of the investment in Synerject of $0.526 million.

(c) Non-interest bearing loan

Under AIFRS the consolidated entity recognises financial instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value. The Government of Western Australia has provided the company with a fully utilised loan facility of $19,000,000 under the terms of a “Development Agreement”. Repayment of this facility will be in full on the date which is 25 years after the date on which the first advance is made (May 1989), or in any year prior to that date if the aggregate number of commercially produced OCP 2 stroke engines, calculated on a worldwide basis, exceeds 5,000,000, by equal annual payments, each of one fifth of the loan, on 1 July in the year commencing 1 July following the year in which such production is achieved. To date there have been no OCP 2-stroke engines produced on a commercial basis. No interest accrues on this facility until such time as the loan becomes payable.

As at 1 July 2005 the non-interest bearing loan from the Government of Western Australia was recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amortised cost and repayment value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest rate basis.

Under USGAAP the consolidated entity recognises the financial liability at its original face value ($19.000 million) and does not unwind the discount expense over the period of the borrowings.

(d) Capitalised development expenditures by associates

Under AIFRS expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the consolidated entity has sufficient resources to complete development.

Under USGAAP expenditure of this type in respect of development activities is expensed as it is incurred.

(e) Recent Changes to US GAAP

In June 2006, FASB Interpretation No. 48 ‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’ (FIN 48) was issued. FIN 48 states that the evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the enterprise should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15 2006. Orbital does not presently expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

During September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), ‘Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements’. SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years ending after 15 November 2006. The adoption of this interpretation did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’ (SFAS 157), which provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring fair value. The expanded disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities should provide users of financial statements with better information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure recognized assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements, and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Orbital does not presently expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to measure eligible assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 November 2007. Orbital does not presently expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF 07-03,“Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities,” (“EITF 07-03”) which requires nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities to be capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or services are performed. The effects of applying EITF 07-03 will be reported as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the year of adoption. EITF 07-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating what effect, if any, the adoption of EITF 07-03 will have on our financial position or results of operations.

* A translation of Balance Sheet Data has been performed at Westpac Banking Corporation’s published buy rate for telegraphic transfers on the 30 June each year (2007: US$0.8501 = A$1.00; 2006: US$0.7417 = A$1.00; 2005: US$0.7618 = A$1.00)

No representation is intended to imply that these amounts could have been or could be converted or settled in AUD at this rate on June 30, or at any other date.

The difference between the equity accounted carrying value for Synerject reflected in Orbital’s balance sheet and Orbital’s share of net equity in Synerject is due to the elimination of inter-entity intangibles and capitalised development expenditure and in 2005 unrealised foreign currency translation adjustments. See also Note 16.

(h) Employee stock compensation

Under AIFRS, the fair value of options and shares granted to employees by the Employee Share Plan (“ESP”) and the Executive Long Term Share Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at the grant date based primarily on the market value of the company’s common shares at the grant date, the absence of a required exercise price, and the effects on valuation of the three year TSR market condition (as discussed further in note 30.1 to the financial statements), Such fair value is expensed over the three year vesting period during which the employees may become entitled to the shares, which corresponds to the measurement period of the market condition. No reversal of previously recognized compensation expense is made in the event that the terms of the market condition are not met at the conclusion of the three year vesting period. Options have not been issued since the year ended 30 June 2000 and there will be no expense recognised in this or future reporting periods in relation to existing options as the vesting periods have lapsed.

In accordance with AASB 1, no adjustment will be made for share based payments granted before 7 November 2002. Shares granted after 7 November 2002 remaining unvested at 1 July 2004 will be recognised in the opening balance sheet as an adjustment to equity resulting in a nil profit and loss impact on transition from AGAAP to AIFRS.

Under US GAAP, prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Under APB 25 compensation expense is recognised to the extent that the fair value of the equity instrument exceeds the exercise price of the option granted at a defined measurement date. For shares offered subject to market conditions, the measurement date under APB 25 is the date on which the market condition is met.

Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) using the modified prospective application method and, accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this method, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, using the fair value amounts determined for pro forma disclosures under Statement 123. For stock-based awards granted after July 1, 2005, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value.

SFAS No. 123(R) establishes the accounting treatment for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The compensation expense is recognized over the employees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. For shares offered subject to the market conditions of the Executive Long Term Share Plan, the attribution period for recognition of the associated employee benefit expense corresponds to the period over which the market condition is measured.

There is no GAAP difference in the share-based compensation expense for fiscal 2007 under USGAAP and AIFRS. The GAAP difference in the share-based compensation expense for fiscal 2005 between the AIFRS fair value of $248,000 and the USGAAP (APB 25) intrinsic value of $249,000 was $1,000.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

The fair value of each share award under the Executive Long Term Share Plan is determined at the date of grant using a Monte-Carlo fair value model that takes into consideration the weighted average assumptions as outlined in the following table. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected term of the share award, such as past-vesting departure behavior.

	2007		2006		2005
Valuation assumptions:
Life	3 years		3 years			3 years
Fair Value per share	7.1 cents		9.9 cents			13.3 cents
Exercise Price	nil		nil			nil
Price of shares on grant date	9.6 cents		11.0 cents			15.0 cents
Expected volatility	33.40	%	38.80	%		60.00	%
Risk free interest rate	5.79	%	5.03	%		5.29	%
Share award activity during the periods indicated is as follows:
	Number of shares		Weighted average remaining contractual term		Aggregate intrinsic value
Balance at July 1, 2004	3,230,000
Offered	2,115,000
Issued	—

Balance at June 30, 2007	7,175,000
Issuable at June 30, 2007	7,175,000		1.5 years		$	607,125

The weighted average fair value of share awards offered during the years 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $277,255, $208,575, and $281,295, respectively. No shares were issued during the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

At June 30, 2007, there was $235,440 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share awards offered under the Executive Long Term Share Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.36 years.

(i) Foreign Currency

Financial statements of foreign operations

In financial years prior to 2006, under US GAAP, the functional currency for Orbital’s foreign subsidiaries based in the United States had been determined to be Australian dollars. This determination was based on the economic factors present at the time these foreign operations commenced and was principally driven by the funding for these entities (being provided by the Australian parent), the subsidiaries being historically loss making and the guarantee provided by the Orbital Australia group in respect of certain borrowings of an associated entity of these subsidiaries, Synerject LLC.

The most significant assets of these foreign subsidiaries are the investment in Synerject LLC and the related deferred tax asset balances. During 2006, as discussed in Note 16, the guarantee provided in respect of the Synerject LLC borrowings was removed. In addition as a result of positive operating results from this venture no further funding is anticipated to be required by the US subsidiaries. As a result of the change in these significant factors the functional currency for Orbital’s US subsidiaries has been determined to be US dollars for the 2006 financial year. This determination is consistent with that as made under AIFRS.

This change in functional currency in 2006 for US GAAP reporting purposes has resulted in foreign exchange differences arising on translation to now be recognised directly in other comprehensive income. This does not result in any differences with AIFRS.

As a result of the transition from AGAAP to AIFRS and the re-statement of the results for the period ended 30 June 2005, a difference results in respect of the treatment of foreign exchange gains and losses for of $238,000. This difference arises as a result of the functional currency determinations under the respective GAAP’s being different in 2005. Under AIFRS translation differences have been transferred to equity reserves (similar to OCI), where as under US GAAP as the functional currency for this period as determined is $AUD, such differences are taken directly to the Profit and Loss.

F-50

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

Under the previous Australian GAAP Orbital considered its foreign operations as integrated which resulted in the assets and liabilities of operations being translated using the temporal method. As this method closely approximates that which arises under US GAAP due to a $AUD functional currency, no differences arose.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

Synerject, LLC:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Synerject, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Synerject, LLC and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SYNERJECT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2007 and 2006

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Organization and Description of Business

Synerject, LLC (Synerject or the Company), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on June 25, 1997 to manufacture, distribute, and sell fuel rail assemblies incorporating charge delivery injectors which deliver air and premetered quantities of gasoline directly into the combustion chambers of both two-stroke and four-stroke internal combustion engines.

The Company is the result of a Joint Venture and Limited Liability Company Agreement (the Agreement) between Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation (SVAC), formerly Siemens Automotive Corporation (SAC), and Orbital Fluid Technologies, Inc. (OFT), whereby each member owns 50% of the Company. SVAC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Corporation, which is wholly owned by Siemens Aktiengesellschaft (Siemens AG), a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. OFT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Orbital Engine Corporation Limited (OECL), a corporation organized under the laws of West Australia.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, allocation of net income (loss) will be to and among the members in accordance with their ownership percentages. As of April 2003, under an amendment to the Agreement, the CEO and CFO of Synerject were added to the Company’s board of directors. Voting control of the Company’s board of directors is shared equally between SVAC, OFT and Synerject.

The initial term of the Agreement is 20 years and is subject to renewal upon terms and conditions as shall be mutually agreed by SVAC and OFT.

In November 1998, the Company began functioning as a systems integrator for motorcycle, scooter and other two-wheel applications utilizing direct injection technology. In addition, in September 1999, the Company began functioning as a systems integrator for nonautomotive equipment utilizing certain Siemens port injection technology. In April 2003, the Company began systems integration services and supply of systems components to customers in the marine and recreation market segment, and to a new customer, Bombardier Rotax (Austria), for engines supplied to the snowmobile, motorcycle and personal watercraft markets. In March 2006, the Company acquired from BRP US, Inc. a business associated with supplying fuel systems and components for outboard marine engines.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Synerject, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c) Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines a general allowance utilizing percentages applied to aged outstanding receivable balances. The Company reviews its

F-58 (Continued)

SYNERJECT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2007 and 2006

allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

(d) Inventories

Inventories which include raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes material, labor and applicable manufacturing overhead and is determined using standard costs, which approximate average costs.

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property as follows:

Leasehold improvements	10 years
Manufacturing machinery and equipment	10 years
Testing equipment and motor vehicles	5 years
Tooling	3 years
Office and computer equipment	3 years
Computer software	3 years

(f) Intangible Assets – License Agreements

In June 1997, the Company entered into a license agreement with OFT for licensed technology. In November 1998, this license agreement was expanded, and the Company acquired the right to provide system integration services and products to the motorcycle market which utilizes direct injection technology. In September 1999, the Company obtained a license agreement with an affiliate of SVAC for the right to use Siemens VDO Technology for systems integration for nonautomotive equipment. The license agreements are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization.

(g) Warranty Liability

The Company provides for estimated warranty costs based on historical warranty return data and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable.

(h) Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses an interest rate swap agreement to limit exposure to rising interest rates on its variable-rate note payable. Interest rate differentials to be paid or received as a result of the swap agreement are accrued and recognized as an adjustment of interest expense related to the associated debt.

Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. On the effective date of the derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge), or a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a

recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). The Company enters only into cash flow hedge agreements. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that are highly effective and are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item.

(i) Income Taxes

The Company has elected to have the income or loss of Synerject reported by the individual members on their U.S. income tax returns rather than by the Company. Accordingly, no U.S. income taxes related to the Company have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

However, an election was not made to have the income or loss of one subsidiary, Synerject SAS, reported by the individual members on their income tax returns. Synerject SAS incurs and pays foreign income taxes. The individual members may be entitled to a tax credit for such foreign income taxes paid by Synerject SAS if dividends are paid. For the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, foreign income taxes of approximately $194,000, $172,000 and $54,000, respectively, were included in other expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

(j) Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(k) Translation of Foreign Currencies

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries and branches are measured using functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the financial statement date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Net exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign financial statements and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature are included in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment account in accumulated other comprehensive income in total members’ equity.

(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement No. 144, long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

F-60 (Continued)

SYNERJECT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2007 and 2006

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

(m) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on sales after products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sale price is fixed or determinable. The Company recognizes revenue related to engineering services based on output measures and the achievement of certain billable milestones. Revenues are recorded net of taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

(n) Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. They amounted to approximately $1,736,000, $2,057,000 and $1,495,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

2) Transactions with Related Parties

The Company purchases services and materials from SVAC, OFT and their related affiliates. Included in trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2007 and 2006 are approximately $102,000 and $65,000, respectively, due from related parties. These receivables primarily relate to the reimbursement of amounts paid on behalf of SVAC and OFT. Included in accounts payable at June 30, 2007 and 2006 are approximately $3,350,000 and $1,736,000, respectively, due to related parties. These payables primarily relate to product purchases and operating expenses, including engineering and technical assistance.

A breakdown of these related-party receivables and payables at June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

	2007		2006
Related-party receivables:
SVAC and its affiliates	$	57,000	33,000
OFT and its affiliates		45,000	32,000
	$	102,000	65,000
Related-party payables:
SVAC and its affiliates	$	3,332,000	1,696,000
OFT and its affiliates		18,000	40,000
	$	3,350,000	1,736,000

The revenues from related parties for the year ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $150,000, $358,000 and $324,000, respectively. Total purchases from related parties for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $22,790,000, $17,583,000 and $12,839,000, respectively.

Rental expense related to a facility lease with SVAC was approximately $48,000 in 2007.

(3) Line of Credit

The Company has available a line of credit with SunTrust Bank totaling $3,000,000. The total outstanding balance under this line of credit was $1,150,000 at June 30, 2007. The line of credit matures January 31, 2008. The line of credit bears interest at the one month London Inter Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.35% (6.67% at June 30, 2007). The line of credit is secured by substantially all assets of the Company.

(4) Long-Term Debt and Letter of Credit

Long-term debt as of June 30, 2007 consists of a note payable to a bank under an agreement dated June 29, 2006, maturing July 1, 2010. Interest accrues at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.45% (6.77% at June 30, 2007). The note is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest and is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for each of the years subsequent to June 30, 2007 are as follows: 2008, $1,908,873; 2009, $2,055,633; 2010, $2,213,676; and 2011, $191,981.

At June 30, 2007, the Company had one outstanding interest rate swap agreement with a bank having a notional amount of $6,370,163 and terminating on July 1, 2010 (see note 5). The swap agreement provides for the payment of interest based on a fixed rate of 7.43% which remains unchanged over the term of the agreement. The floating rate of the swap agreement is based on LIBOR plus 1.45% (6.77% at June 30, 2007) and is reset monthly based on market conditions. The nature of the swap agreement changes variable-rate debt to fixed rate debt. The interest rate differential paid or received under the swap is recognized over the term of the contract as adjustments are made to the effective yield of the underlying debt. The Company may be exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the interest rate swap agreement. The Company does not anticipate such nonperformance. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement has been determined by the holder of the interest rate swap agreement based on pricing models regarding past, present and future market conditions. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap at June 30, 2007 was a net liability of $62,552, which is included in accrued expenses – noncurrent.

(5) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has a derivative instrument to manage its exposure on its variable-rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes. Specifically, the Company does not speculate using derivative instruments.

By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates repayment risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty, and therefore, it does not possess repayment risk. The Company minimizes the credit or repayment risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.

The Company has a variable-rate note payable. This debt obligation exposes the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of its interest payments. To meet this objective, management entered into an interest rate swap agreement

F-62 (Continued)

SYNERJECT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2007 and 2006

to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. This agreement changes the variable-rate cash flows exposure on the debt obligation to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt.

(6) Employee Benefit Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan for its employees. Participation in the 401(k) plan is voluntary and is open to all employees over 18 years of age with six months of service. Discretionary employee contributions are based upon a percentage of annual salary (as defined by the 401(k) plan). The Company matches 50% of every dollar of employee contributions up to the first 3% of each employee’s salary. The Company may also make profit-sharing contributions at its discretion. Company contributions vest over a two-year period. The Company’s total expense under the plan was approximately $368,000, $223,000 and $160,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

	$	13,797,477		$	6,293,650

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $896,707, $887,044 and $894,395, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the next five years is: $910,000 in 2008; $910,000 in 2009; $710,000 in 2010; $643,000 in 2011; and $643,000 in 2012.

Under its license agreement with OFT, the Company is contingently obligated to pay additional consideration of $1,000,000 on the last business day of the calendar year in which total sales of OCP Fuel Systems, as defined in the license agreement, reach a certain level. Based on recent sales trends, it is unlikely this hurdle will be met.

(15) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities:The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items.

Long-term debt and line of credit:The carrying amount approximates fair value, as the obligation bears interest at a rate that fluctuates with the market.

Interest rate swap:The carrying amount approximates fair value, as it is marked to market as of the balance sheet date.
