On behalf of the Trustee, it is my pleasure to present this Annual Report for the Worsley Alumina Superannuation Fund (Fund) for the financial year ended 30 June 2014.

The 2014 financial year was another period of strong performance, particularly for share investors. Very low interest rates meant returns from cash and bonds weren’t as strong, but still solid. These robust returns were achieved despite economic challenges and global events that unsettled investment markets from time to time.

While the global economy generally improved, future developments in the global investment environment are uncertain.

We remain committed to giving you the choice and confidence to achieve your investment goals.

We continue to refine our investment menu, offering a range of investment options including multi-asset portfolios and single asset class funds managed by a range of investment managers.

With ongoing Government superannuation reforms, market fluctuations, the rising cost of living and increased life expectancy, it’s never been more important to regularly review your wealth strategy. This can help ensure you live comfortably now and into your retirement.

Remember, it’s never too late to make your super work for you, regardless of your age or current super balance. We’re here to help you grow your wealth and save for your retirement. For more information, go to superau.bhpbilliton.com

Annual auditEach year we are audited by an independent company.

We’re pleased to report we’ve met all our obligations and received a clean audit report.

Policy CommitteeThe role of the Policy Committee is to raise matters of concern that relate to the Fund. This includes providing an avenue for members to enquire about the investment strategy and performance of the Fund and assisting us in dealing with complaints or enquiries about the operation of the Fund.

The members of the Policy Committee at 30 June 2014 are:

Member representatives

Employer representatives

Quentin Durber Iren Konovalova

Nathan Piacentini Paul Scurria

Wayne Tichbon Damien Papps

During the year a member election occurred for all three member representative positions. From 24 July 2013, the three new member elected representatives are Quentin Durber, Nathan Piacentini and Wayne Tichbon.

We have a set of rules for the appointment and removal of employer and member representatives of the Policy Committee. These rules provide for equal representation of member and employer representatives.

Member representatives are generally elected by members and are typically appointed for a period of three years.

Employer representatives are appointed by your employer for a period determined by your employer.

Trustee expensesWe may be reimbursed for costs and expenses relating to the establishment, operation, management, administration, investment and termination of the Fund including tax, insurance costs and any fees or charges imposed by, or paid by, the Fund.

We also have the right to be indemnified in certain circumstances for any liability incurred while acting as trustee.

Unpaid contributionsWe work with employers to assist them in understanding their superannuation obligations. While we do this to assist both employers and members, you should ensure that all expected contributions are credited to your member account. If you have any queries regarding a possible contribution shortfall, please contact your employer or us on 1300 22 2472.

Fund benefitsThere are two types of member in the Fund – Defined Benefit Division and Defined Contribution Division.

Defined Benefit DivisionIf you are a Defined Benefit Division member, at least part of your benefit is determined by a formula (generally based on your salary).

Your defined benefit is funded by your employer and (in some cases) by your own personal contributions. You are not able to choose how your defined benefit is invested.

If your benefit also consists of an accumulation account, you can choose how your account is invested from the investment options available in the Fund.

Defined Contribution DivisionIf you are a Defined Contribution Division member you are provided with an accumulation-type superannuation benefit. This means your benefit is the accumulation (with investment earnings) of concessional (before-tax) contributions, non-concessional (after-tax) contributions, transfers and rollovers from other funds. Your benefit will be less transfers and rollovers to other funds, fees (where applicable), insurance premiums (where applicable) and taxes (where applicable).

If you are unsure about your type of superannuation benefit, please contact us on 1300 22 2472 or refer to the Product Disclosure Statement or other document issued to you when you joined the Fund.

5

Allocation of earningsIf you have an account with investment choice available, the investment earnings (which may be positive or negative) are reflected daily in the unit price of your investment option(s) (so the price goes up with positive investment earnings and goes down if there are investment losses).

The unit price for an investment option reflects the total dollars held in that investment option divided by the number of units issued, and the value of your account depends on the value of the unit price and the number of units you hold.

If you have a defined benefit account, additional information regarding the allocation of earnings is contained in your Member benefit statement.

If the Fund has reserves, this will be stated in the Reserve section. We will invest the reserves in accordance with the investment strategy set out in the Defined benefit investment strategy section.

InsuranceThe insured benefits from the Fund are provided under a policy of insurance between us and TAL Limited.

The level of cover is subject to terms, conditions, restrictions, adjustments and offsets (if any) imposed under the policy by the insurer.

Contributions tax and surchargeMost types of concessional contributions made into a regulated superannuation fund are taxed at the rate of 15%. This includes employer contributions (including superannuation guarantee), before-tax member (salary sacrifice) contributions and any untaxed elements rolled over into the Fund. Contributions tax is calculated and deducted at 30 June, 30 September, 31 December and 31 March from your account through the sale of units.

The Government abolished the superannuation surcharge effective 1 July 2005 and as a result no surcharge is payable in respect of superannuation contributions made on or after 1 July 2005. However, assessments in relation to prior periods continue to be processed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and any surcharge is payable after the Trustee receives an assessment from the ATO.

If you are an defined contribution member, the surcharge (when paid by us) is deducted from your account through the selling of units and reported in your six-monthly Member benefit statement.

If you are a defined benefit member, the surcharge will be paid on your behalf and recorded in a surcharge debt account established in your name (accruing interest as determined by us).

The total debt account held in the Fund will be deducted from your benefit when the benefit is paid from the Fund. The amount of any surcharge debt account (if applicable) will be shown on your six-monthly Member benefit statement.

Excess contributions taxContribution caps, or limits, apply to the total amount of superannuation contributions that you can make each financial year before additional tax is payable. As members are responsible for monitoring contributions made to all of their superannuation accounts it is important that you understand your contributory commitments and the tax consequences of exceeding the caps.

The ATO is responsible for determining whether you have exceeded the annual caps and will determine whether you have to pay excess contributions tax.

The ATO will issue an excess contributions tax assessment if you have exceeded the cap.

You can choose to withdraw excess contributions from your super account, plus earnings (if any). Any excess concessional contributions and earnings you withdraw will be taxed at your marginal tax rate, plus an interest charge.

Defined benefitsAs described in the Fund benefits section, your defined benefit may be partly funded by your own personal contributions and contributions made by your employer as determined by the Fund Actuary. The Fund Actuary will determine the level at which your employer needs to contribute towards the funding of these benefits.

The assets supporting defined benefits exist to meet benefit payments, fees and insurance premiums in respect of defined benefits. The assets are invested in an investment strategy determined by us in consultation with your employer.

Financial position – defined benefitsThe Fund Actuary assessed the financial position of the Fund at 30 June 2014 and determined that the defined benefit assets of the Fund were in a satisfactory position.

The Fund’s financial position will continue to be monitored on a quarterly basis.

Use of derivativesDerivatives are an investment technique used in some investment options.

They are contracts that have a value derived from another source such as an asset market index or interest rate.

There are many types of derivatives including swap options and futures. They are a common tool used to manage risk or improve returns.

Some derivatives allow investment managers to earn large returns from small movements in the underlying asset’s price. However, they can lose large amounts if the price of the underlying asset moves against them.

We do not invest directly in derivatives. Investments in derivatives may be made by the investment managers appointed by us as Trustee of the Fund, for the purposes of managing their portfolio (investment options).

The investment managers are not permitted to use financial derivatives to leverage the performance of the portfolio beyond that which could be obtained if derivatives were not used.

We will obtain and consider a “Part B” Derivative Risk Statement from each of the investment managers who invest Worsley Alumina assets in derivatives.

At no time in the reporting period did our use of the derivative charge ratio exceed 5%.

Trust Deed amendmentsThere were no amendments to the Trust Deed during the reporting period.

SIS complianceNo penalty was imposed against us or any director under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) (SIS) Act 1993 during the reporting period.

Eligible rollover funds (ERFs)ERFs are approved by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). They are designed to hold unclaimed money and generally have more conservative investments than other superannuation funds, which may result in lower returns.

If you are entitled to a benefit of less than $2,000, you will be given 90 days (from the date we write to you after your employer notifies us that you have left employment) to advise us where to transfer your benefit. If you do not advise an alternative fund, we will pay your benefit to the Trustee’s nominated ERF.

The ERF will hold your transferred benefit until you claim it. You will not have any claim against us once your benefit has been transferred to an ERF because your Fund membership will have ceased. Your insurance cover (if any) will cease. The rules of the ERF will govern your benefit once it has been transferred.

Our current ERF is the Australian Eligible Rollover Fund which can be contacted on 1800 677 424 or by writing to:

Australian Eligible Rollover Fund Locked Bag 5429 PARRAMATTA NSW 2124

If your benefit is transferred to an ERF and if we can provide the ERF with your contact details, the ERF will provide you with its current Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). Alternatively, you can contact the ERF for a copy of its PDS.

The ERF will apply a different fee structure than that of the Fund. Specifically, the ERF is required to protect your benefit. This means that, generally, administration charges cannot exceed investment earnings on your account in a reporting period. However, indirect management fees may be deducted from gross fund earnings. You should refer to the ERF’s PDS for circumstances in which fees may apply.

Temporary residentsIf you are a former temporary resident, your lump sum benefit is taken to be unclaimed super monies if:

• you held a temporary visa that has ceased to have effect and you have left Australia;

• it has been at least six months since the visa ceased to be in effect and/or you left Australia;

• the Fund has received a Temporary Resident Notification from the ATO instructing the monies be transferred;

• you are neither an Australian citizen nor a New Zealand citizen;

• you are not a permanent resident or currently the holder of a temporary, permanent or prescribed visa; and

• you do not have an undetermined application for a permanent visa.

If you are a former temporary resident who has left Australia and your visa has expired or been cancelled, you can claim your superannuation from the Fund as a Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP). Contact us on 1300 22 2472 for further information on how to initiate a DASP.

However, if you do not claim your benefit within six months of becoming eligible to do so, we will pay your benefit to the ATO if we receive a written notice from the ATO directing payment to be made. In this event, you have a right to apply to the Commissioner of Taxation for payment of the DASP.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has provided relief to superannuation trustees to the effect that a trustee is not obliged to notify, or give an exit statement to, a former temporary resident where the trustee pays unclaimed superannuation to the ATO in accordance with the applicable legislation requirements. We wish to rely on this relief. Consequently, members who are departed former temporary residents will not be notified in the event of their benefits being transferred to the ATO in these circumstances.

How your money is invested

Investment strategyOur investment strategy is to make available a range of investment options with different risk, return, liquidity and diversification profiles and to encourage members to choose an investment option, or combination of options, that best suit their personal circumstances. We invest your superannuation monies in the investment options of your choice.

The investment options allow investments in a diverse range of asset classes including international and Australian shares, property securities, fixed interest securities and cash.

The information on the investment options starting on page 11 includes the investment objectives and investment returns returns for each investment option at 30 June 2014.

Diversify to reduce volatility and other risksDiversification – investing in a range of investments – is a good way to reduce short term volatility and help smooth returns. That’s because different types of investments perform well in different times and circumstances. When some are providing good returns others may not be.

You can diversify across different asset classes, industries and countries as well as across investment managers with different approaches.

The more you diversify the less impact any one investment can have on your returns.

One of the most effective ways of reducing volatility is to diversify across a range of asset classes.

Asset classes are groups of similar types of investments. Each class has its risks and benefits, and goes through its own market cycle. A market cycle can take a couple of years or many years, it’s different each time. You need to be prepared for all sorts of return outcomes when investing.

You can invest in options where the asset classes have already been diversified for you.

You can choose from a variety of single-sector investment options. These options invest in a single asset class.

You should carefully consider the risks of investing your entire account balance in a single-sector option and whether this represents adequate diversification.

Investment consultantWe have appointed JANA Investment Advisers Pty Ltd (JANA) to be our investment consultant. JANA is responsible for advising the Trustee on our entire investment menu, providing regular insight and updates on the performance of our investment options.

JANAJANA is an Australian Financial Services Licence Holder and is a wholly owned subsidiary of National Australia Bank Limited (NAB). JANA Investment Advisers was established in 1987 with the objective of providing high quality independent advice to institutional clients on all aspects of investments and asset management. The firm has since grown to become one of the leading investment consultants in Australia, with over A$252 billion funds under advice and A$48 billion funds under management (at 30 June 2014). JANA’s core business continues to be the provision of investment and asset consulting advice to institutional clients from its offices in Melbourne and Sydney. In December 2000, JANA became a fully-owned subsidiary of the National Australia Bank (‘NAB’).

JANA’s investment philosophy drives their capital markets and manager research programme. The key elements of that philosophy can be summarised as follows:

• JANA believes it is possible to reduce risk and outperform over the long term by taking advantage of occasional large divergences from fair value in investment markets.

• Through diligent hands-on research, their track record demonstrates that it is possible to select managers capable of outperforming over the long term. While above-average ability in security selection is a prerequisite in most asset classes, managers must also exhibit a disciplined process and style and this should be reflected in the qualities and mindset of its personnel.

• To be of real value, research needs to be implemented with full commitment and not sit on the fence.

Standard risk measureWe use the Standard Risk Measure (SRM) to help you compare the investment risk across the investment options we offer.

The SRM is the estimated number of negative annual returns in any 20 year period. Because it is an estimate, the actual number of negative returns may be different. The SRM is based on industry guidelines, however it isn’t a complete assessment of investment risk.

For example:

• it doesn’t capture the size of a possible negative return or the potential for sufficient positive returns to meet your objectives; and

• it doesn’t take into account the impact of fees and tax.

These would increase the chance of a negative return.

Risk band Risk label Estimate number of negative returns in any 20-year period

1 Very low Less than 0.5

2 Low 0.5 to less than 1

3 Low to medium 1 to less than 2

About the investment option

This option is a lower risk option that concentrates on fixed interest and cash investments. It aims to avoid negative returns, while achieving returns which exceed inflation in the long term. Suitable for investors who want exposure to mainly defensive assets and can tolerate a low level of risk.

This option is designed to provide investors with a diversified portfolio that is equally mixed between the traditionally more stable asset classes of cash and fixed interest and those assets which have traditionally provided higher levels of overall return, namely property and shares.

This is a balanced option with an orientation towards growth investments (such as shares and property), while maintaining a spread across all asset sectors. It aims to achieve moderate returns in the long term. Suitable for investors with a longer investment time frame and a higher tolerance for short term volatility.

About the investment option

This is a diversified option that concentrates on share and property investments. It aims to achieve high returns over the long term by concentrating on growth assets. Suitable for investors who want exposure to mainly growth assets and can tolerate a medium to high level of volatility. There may be significant fluctuations in returns year to year.

The option invests 100% in growth assets. It has complete emphasis on growth assets comprising Australian and International shares and property and therefore carries more investment risk. Although there is the potential for a much higher investment return over the long term, the returns may fluctuate significantly in the short term.

Investment objective To provide returns higher than cash rates over time, through managing a portfolio of global and Australian debt assets and other assets where the overall risk profile of the portfolio is similar to debt.
