Final Results - Part 3

Petrofac Limited 10 March 2008 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) At 31 December 2007 7 EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, after adjusting for any dilutive effect, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for the effects of ordinary shares granted under the employee share award schemes which are held in trust. The following reflects the income and share data used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share: 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for basic and diluted earnings per share 188,716 120,332 ===================== 2007 2006 Number Number '000 '000 Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basic earnings per share 345,421 344,003 Weighted average number of ordinary shares granted under share-based payment schemes held as treasury shares 3,175 1,117 ---------------------- Adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares for diluted earnings per share 348,596 345,120 ====================== 8 DIVIDENDS PAID AND PROPOSED 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Declared and paid during the year Equity dividends on ordinary shares: Final dividend for 2005: 1.87 cents per share - 6,425 Interim dividend 2006: 2.40 cents per share - 8,249 Final dividend for 2006: 6.43 cents per share 22,018 - Interim dividend 2007: 4.90 cents per share 16,756 - ------------------------ 38,774 14,674 ======================== 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Proposed for approval at AGM (not recognised as a liability as at 31 December) Equity dividends on ordinary shares Final dividend for 2007: 11.50 cents per share (2006: 6.43 cents per share) 39,725 22,228 ======================= 9 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Land, buildings Office Oil & and furniture Capital gas Oil & gas leasehold Plant and and work in assets facilities improvements equipment Vehicles equipment progress Total US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 Cost At 1 January 2006 11,232 124,591 19,283 21,657 12,994 19,486 - 209,243 Additions 17,548 149 7,258 10,130 1,127 14,160 9,075 59,447 Acquisition of subsidiaries - - - 43 - - - 43 Disposals - - (6,652) (11,618) (7,522) (868) - (26,660) Exchange difference - - 1,573 774 85 1,667 - 4,099 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 1 January 2007 28,780 124,740 21,462 20,986 6,684 34,445 9,075 246,172 Additions 65,078 631 1,170 6,604 1,092 20,593 21,989 117,157 Acquisition of subsidiaries - - - - - 47 - 47 Transfer from intangible oil & gas assets (note 12) 41,657 - - - - - - 41,657 Disposals - - (1,642) (4,514) (3,378) (2,187) - (11,721) Exchange difference - - 257 (520) 45 522 - 304 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 31 December 2007 135,515 125,371 21,247 22,556 4,443 53,420 31,064 393,616 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depreciation At 1 January 2006 - (46,880) (7,472) (16,505) (7,094) (10,861) - (88,812) Charge for the year (802) (13,289) (2,695) (1,659) (2,781) (6,896) - (28,122) Disposals - - 6,167 3,504 5,148 699 - 15,518 Exchange difference - - (288) (502) (63) (727) - (1,580) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 1 January 2007 (802) (60,169) (4,288) (15,162) (4,790) (17,785) - (102,996) Charge for the year (8,072) (13,491) (1,321) (1,277) (1,676) (16,464) - (42,301) Disposals - - 1,568 1,637 3,030 2,154 - 8,389 Exchange difference - - (19) (247) (31) (174) - (471) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 31 December 2007 (8,874) (73,660) (4,060) (15,049) (3,467) (32,269) - (137,379) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net carrying amount: At 31 December 2007 126,641 51,711 17,187 7,507 976 21,151 31,064 256,237 ================================================================================= At 31 December 2006 27,978 64,571 17,174 5,824 1,894 16,660 9,075 143,176 ================================================================================= No interest has been capitalised within oil & gas facilities during the year (2006: nil) and the accumulated capitalised interest, net of depreciation at 31 December 2007, was US$1,929,000 (2006: US$2,427,000). Included in oil & gas assets is US$1,604,000 (2006: US$990,000) of capitalised decommissioning costs provided on the PM304 asset in Malaysia. On 22 February 2007, the group completed the acquisition of a 45% interest in the Chergui gas concession in Tunisia, for a final cash consideration of US$31,393,000 including transaction costs, which, after including advance capital expenditures paid on behalf of the vendor of US$2,846,000, brought the total consideration to US$34,239,000. Of the total initial consideration, US$31,393,000 has been recognised during the year as additions to property, plant and equipment and further post acquisition capital expenditure of US$22,693,000 was incurred during the year. Of the total charge for depreciation in the income statement, US$37,759,000 (2006: US$24,810,000) is included in cost of sales and US$4,542,000 (2006: US$3,312,000) in selling, general and administration expenses. Capital work in progress comprises of expenditures incurred on the construction of a new office building in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. 10 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Acquisitions in 2007 SPD Group Limited On 16 January 2007, the group acquired a 51% interest in the share capital of SPD Group Limited (SPD), a specialist provider of well operations services. The consideration for the acquisition of the 51% interest inclusive of transaction costs of US$172,000, was US$7,872,000. Consideration of US$7,700,000 (excluding transaction costs) was settled by a cash payment of US$3,935,000, issuance of loan notes payable of US$1,765,000 and the balance of US$2,000,000 by issuance of 274,938 new ordinary shares of the Company at market value on 19 January 2007 to the vendor over three years in equal instalments on the anniversary of the transaction. On 27 December 2007, the outstanding loan notes of US$1,765,000 were repaid to the vendors. The terms of the sale and purchase agreement for the remaining 49% interest in the share capital of SPD which convey call option rights on the acquirer and minority share holder put option rights over these shares and the respective rights to dividends and share of profits of the two parties are such that this transaction has been accounted for as a 100% acquisition of the business by the group. The discounted deferred consideration for the remaining 49% of the share capital of SPD was originally estimated at US$12,025,000 based on the discounted value of an agreed multiple of the future earnings of SPD and this has been reassessed and maintained as an appropriate year end fair value and a charge of US$1,455,000 for the unwinding of interest has been reflected in the income statement as an interest expense (see note 5). The total consideration for the 100% interest therefore, including transaction costs, amounted to US$19,897,000. The 100% fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of SPD on completion of the acquisition are analysed below: Recognised on Carrying acquisition value US$'000 US$'000 Property, plant and equipment 47 47 Intangible assets 2,369 - Trade and other receivables 5,498 5,498 Cash and short-term deposits 970 970 ------------------------ Total assets 8,884 6,515 ------------------------ Less: Trade and other payables (3,210) (3,210) Income tax payable (10) (10) ------------------------- Total liabilities (3,220) (3,220) ------------------------- Fair value of net assets acquired 5,664 3,295 ====== Goodwill arising on acquisition 14,233 ---------- Consideration 19,897 ========== Cash outflow on acquisition: Cash acquired with subsidiary 970 Cash paid on acquisition (3,935) Legal and professional expenses paid on acquisition (172) Loan notes repaid (1,765) -------- Net cash outflow on the acquisition of subsidiary (4,902) ======== Intangible assets recognised on acquisition comprise customer contracts which are being amortised over their remaining economic useful lives on a straight-line basis. The residual goodwill above comprises the fair value of expected future synergies and business opportunities arising from the integration of the business in to the group. From the date of acquisition, SPD has contributed a profit of US$391,000 to the net profit of the group. Acquisitions in 2006 PPS Process Control and Instrumentation Services Limited On 28 April 2006, the group acquired a 100% interest in the share capital of PPS Process Control and Instrumentation Services Limited (subsequently renamed, and hereafter referred to as, Petrofac (Cyprus) Limited), a company incorporated in Cyprus which is also the holding company of the subsidiaries listed below. The Petrofac (Cyprus) Limited subsidiaries provide operations and maintenance training on Sakhalin Island, Russia, and process control and instrumentation services in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The total consideration for the acquisition inclusive of transaction costs of US$211,000 and earn-out provision of US$189,000 was US$2,000,000 and the carrying value of the net assets acquired was US$1,332,000. The consideration of US$1,600,000 (excluding transaction costs and earn-out provision) was settled by a cash payment of US$527,000 and the extinguishment of receivables due from the vendor of US$1,073,000. During 2007 a deferred consideration payment of US$64,000 was made to the vendors. The residual goodwill of US$668,000 comprises the fair value of expected synergies in the group's Training business arising from the acquisition. Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Limited During 2006, contingent consideration of US$4,450,000 was paid in respect of the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Limited (formally Amerada Hess (Malaysia-PM304) Limited), which the group acquired on 16 June 2004. Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Limited held a 40.5% interest in a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in Block PM304 and under pre-emption rights contained within the PSC, Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Limited sold a 10.5% interest in the PSC to one of the partners in the PSC on the same commercial terms and conditions of the acquisition and received US$1,154,000 as contingent consideration in 2006. The net cash outflow of these related transactions amounting to US$3,296,000 is shown in the consolidated cash flow statement within the acquisition of subsidiaries line. 11 GOODWILL A summary of the movements in goodwill is presented below: 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 At 1 January 56,732 49,183 Acquisitions during the year (note 10) 14,233 668 Exchange difference 778 6,881 ---------------------- At 31 December 71,743 56,732 ====================== Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to three groups of cash-generating units, which are reportable segments, for impairment testing as follows: • Facilities Management (comprising Petrofac Facilities Management, Plant Asset Management and SPD) • Training (comprising Petrofac Training and PPS Process Control & Instrumentation) • Energy Developments (comprising Petrofac Energy Developments International Limited) These represent the lowest level within the group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Facilities Management and Training cash-generating units The recoverable amounts for the Facilities Management and Training units have been determined based on value in use calculations, using discounted pre-tax cash flow projections. Management has adopted a ten year projection period to assess each unit's value in use as it considers the life of the goodwill for both the Facilities Management and Training cash-generating units to significantly exceed the five year impairment test period referred to in IAS 36. The cash flow projections are based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five year period, extrapolated, thereafter at a growth rate of 5% per annum. Management considers this is a conservative long-term growth rate relative to both the economic outlook for the units in their respective markets within the oil & gas industry and the growth rates experienced in the recent past by each unit. Energy Developments cash-generating unit The recoverable amount of the Energy Developments unit is also determined on a value in use calculation using discounted pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets and economic parameters for the unit approved by senior management and covering a five year period, as referred to in IAS 36. Carrying amount of goodwill allocated to each group of cash-generating units 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Facilities Management unit 44,769 30,091 Training unit 24,757 24,424 Energy Developments unit 2,217 2,217 --------------------- 71,743 56,732 ===================== Key assumptions used in value in use calculations The calculation of value in use for both the Facilities Management and Training units is most sensitive to the following assumptions: Market share: the assumption relating to market share for the Facilities Management unit is based on the unit re-securing those existing customer contracts in the UK which are due to expire during the projection period; for the Training unit, the key assumptions relate to management's assessment of maintaining the unit's market share in the UK and developing further the business in international markets. Growth rate: estimates are based on management's assessment of market share having regard to macro-economic factors and the growth rates experienced in the recent past by each unit. A growth rate of 5% per annum has been applied for the remaining five years of the ten year projection period. Net profit margins: estimates are based on management's assumption of achieving a level of performance at least in line with the recent past performance of each of the units. Discount rate: management has used a pre-tax discount rate of 9.8% (2006: 8.0%) per annum which is derived from the estimated weighted average cost of capital of the group. This discount rate has been calculated using an estimated risk free rate of return adjusted for the group's estimated equity market risk premium and the group's cost of debt. The calculation of value in use for the Energy Developments unit is most sensitive to the following assumptions: Financial returns: estimates are based on the unit achieving returns on existing investments (comprising both those that are currently cash flowing and those which are in development and which may therefore be consuming cash) at least in line with current forecast income and cost budgets during the planning period. Discount rate: management has used an estimate of the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital of the group plus a risk premium to reflect the particular risk characteristics of each individual investment. The discount rate used for 2007 was 10% for each asset (2006: 10% to 15%). Oil prices: management has used a prudent oil price assumption of US$55 (2006: US$40) per barrel for the impairment testing of its individual oil & gas investments. Reserve volumes and production profiles: management has used its internally developed economic models of reserves and production as a basis of calculating value in use. Sensitivity to changes in assumptions With regard to the assessment of value in use of the cash generating units, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the relevant unit to exceed its recoverable amount, after giving due consideration to the macro-economic outlook for the oil & gas industry and the commercial arrangements with customers underpinning the cash flow forecasts for each of the units. 12 INTANGIBLE ASSETS 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Intangible oil & gas assets Cost: At 1 January 16,788 2,982 Additions 49,700 12,926 Disposals (8,793) - Transferred to tangible oil & gas assets (note 9) (41,657) - Exchange difference (111) 880 ----------------------- At 31 December 15,927 16,788 ----------------------- Accumulated impairment: At 1 January - - Impairment (8,686) - ------------------------ At 31 December (8,686) - ------------------------ Net book value of intangible oil & gas assets at 31 December 7,241 16,788 ------------------------ Other intangible assets Cost: At 1 January 1,561 - Additions (note 10) 2,369 1,561 ----------------------- At 31 December 3,930 1,561 ----------------------- Accumulated amortisation: At 1 January (390) - Amortisation (1,771) (390) ----------------------- At 31 December (2,161) (390) ----------------------- Net book value of other intangible assets at 31 December 1,769 1,171 ----------------------- Total intangible assets 9,010 17,959 ======================= Intangible oil & gas assets On 29 May 2007, the group entered into a farm-in arrangement to acquire a 10% interest in Permit NT/P68 300km north- north-west of Darwin in Australian waters and an option to acquire an interest in any LNG or methanol project in Tassie Shoal that results from this investment. The terms of the farm-in require the group to fund two appraisal wells to a cap of US$13,200,000 and US$12,500,000 respectively. This was subject to an option to terminate the agreement within sixty hours of the decision by the parties to the farm-in arrangement to plug and abandon the primary well. As at 31 December 2007 the group had incurred well appraisal costs of US$15,927,000 on the primary well and exercised its option to enter the second well appraisal programme on 24 January 2008. However due to continuing uncertainties surrounding the commercial outcome of this project an impairment provision of US$8,686,000 has been made against this asset at 31 December 2007. On 27 August 2007, the group entered in to an exchange agreement whereby it swapped its 29% interest in the Crawford field with a carrying value of US$8,793,000 for a 3.12% interest in the 211/18a Block in West Don (equating to a unit interest of 2%) for nil consideration. Included in oil & gas asset additions above are US$32,673,000 of pre-development capital expenditure incurred during the year on the group's Don assets. Other intangible oil & gas additions relate to the acquisition of interests in fields. Transfers to tangible oil & gas assets relate to the group's Don interests which are now considered to be a part of a commercial development (note 9). There were investing cash outflows relating to capitalised intangible oil & gas assets of US$48,604,000 (2006: US$6,187,000) in the current period arising from pre-development activities pertaining to the Don and NT/P68 interests. As at 31 December 2007 there were cash and deposits of US$3,582,000 (2006: nil), trade and other receivables of US$3,106,000 (2006: nil) and trade and other payables of US$4,840,000 (2006: nil) arising from pre-development activities in the current period. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets comprise the fair values of customer contracts arising on acquisition (note 10). Customer contracts are being amortised over their remaining estimated economic useful life of three years on a straight-line basis and the related amortisation charge included in selling, general and administrative expenses (note 4e). 13 INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURES In the normal course of business, the group establishes jointly controlled entities and operations for the execution of certain of its operations and contracts. A list of these joint ventures is disclosed in note 32. The group's share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to jointly controlled entities and operations are as follows: 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Revenue 37,140 92,800 Cost of sales (10,990) (71,103) ----------------------- Gross profit 26,150 21,697 Selling, general and administration expenses (1,246) (1,140) Finance income, net 42 45 ----------------------- Profit before income tax 24,946 20,602 Income tax (819) (616) ----------------------- Net profit 24,127 19,986 ======================= Current assets 46,991 63,009 Non-current assets 3,883 4,459 ----------------------- Total assets 50,874 67,468 ----------------------- Current liabilities 12,667 40,993 Non-current liabilities 323 299 ----------------------- Total liabilities 12,990 41,292 ----------------------- Net assets 37,884 26,176 ======================= 14 AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Shares - listed 1,022 1,212 Units in a mutual fund 564 514 ---------------------- 1,586 1,726 ====================== Available-for-sale financial assets consist of investments in the ordinary shares of quoted companies and units in a mutual fund and therefore have no fixed maturity date or coupon rate. 15 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Non-current Fair value of derivative instruments (note 31) 1,775 1,925 ====================== Other financial assets 23 22 ====================== Current Fair value of derivative instruments (note 31) 27,298 7,483 ====================== Other financial assets Interest receivable 1,351 1,479 Restricted cash 1,351 883 Short-term notes receivable from shareholders - 216 Other - 72 ---------------------- 2,702 2,650 ====================== Restricted cash is comprised of deposits with financial institutions securing various guarantees and performance bonds associated with the group's trading activities. 16 INVENTORIES 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Crude oil 1,173 763 Processed hydrocarbons 18 227 Stores and spares 732 697 Raw materials 333 256 ---------------------- 2,256 1,943 ====================== Included in the income statement are costs of inventories expensed of US$23,528,000 (2006: US$7,535,000). 17 WORK IN PROGRESS AND BILLINGS IN EXCESS OF COST AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Cost and estimated earnings 2,194,088 1,714,647 Less: billings (1,923,907) (1,346,778) -------------------------- Work in progress 270,181 367,869 ========================== Billings 1,114,500 359,079 Less: cost and estimated earnings (906,395) (234,089) -------------------------- Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings 208,105 124,990 ========================== Total cost and estimated earnings 3,100,483 1,948,736 ========================== Total billings 3,038,407 1,705,857 ========================== 18 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Trade receivables 453,256 293,803 Retentions receivable 3,450 4,591 Advances 19,154 10,754 Prepayments and deposits 19,450 12,323 Other receivables 13,715 9,044 ---------------------- 509,025 330,515 ====================== Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 60 days' terms.

In addition at 31 December 2007, Petrofac ESOP held 40,000 ordinary shares (2006: 40,000) of US$0.025 each in the Company with a carrying value of US$17,000 (2006: US$17,000). All these shares have been classified in the balance sheet as treasury shares within equity.

The shares cliff vest at the end of three years subject to continued employment and the achievement of certain pre-defined non-market and market based performance conditions. The non-market based condition governing the vesting of 50% of the total award, is subject to achieving between 15% and 25% earning per share (EPS) growth targets over a three year period. The fair values of the equity-settled award relating to the EPS part of the scheme are estimated based on the quoted closing market price per Company share at the date of grant with an assumed vesting rate per annum built into the calculation (subsequently trued up at year end based on the actual leaver rate during the period from award date to year end) over the three year vesting period of the plan. The fair value and assumed vesting rates of the EPS part of the scheme are shown below: Fair Trued up value vesting per rate share 2007 award 415p 98.6% 2006 award 353p 97.7% The remaining 50% market performance based part of these awards is dependent on the total shareholder return (TSR) of the group compared to an index composed of selected relevant companies. The fair value of the shares vesting under this portion of the award is determined by an independent valuer using a Monte Carlo simulation model taking into account the terms and conditions of the plan rules and using the following assumptions at the date of grant: 2007 2006 award award Expected share price volatility 29.0% 28.0% (based on median of comparator group's three year volatilities) Share price correlation with comparator group 17.0% 10.0% Risk-free interest rate 5.2% 4.6% Expected life of share award 3 years 3 years Fair value of TSR portion 245p 234p The number of ordinary shares awarded in the year in relation to the PSP was 449,537 (2006: 431,194). 864,181 (2006: 431,194) of the 2006 and 2007 awards were still outstanding but not exercisable at 31 December 2007. The charge recognised in the current year amounted to US$1,497,000 (2006: US$536,000). Deferred Bonus Share Plan (DBSP) Executive Directors and selected employees are eligible to participate in this scheme although the Remuneration Committee decided during 2007 that executive Directors should no longer participate. Participants may be invited to elect or in some cases, be required, to receive a proportion of any bonus in ordinary shares of the Company ("Invested Awards"). Following such award, the Company will generally grant the participant an additional award over a number of shares bearing a specified ratio to the number of his or her invested shares ("Matching Shares"). The 2006 awards vest on the third anniversary of the grant date provided that the participant did not leave the group's employment, subject to a limited number of exceptions. However, a change in the rules of the DBSP scheme was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 11 May 2007 such that for the March 2007 share awards and for any awards made thereafter, the invested and matching shares would, unless the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors determined otherwise, vest 33.33% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, a further 33.33% after year two and the final 33.34% of the award after the end of year three. At the year end the values of the bonuses settled by shares cannot be determined until all employees have confirmed the voluntary portion of their bonus they wish to be settled by shares rather than cash and until the Remuneration Committee has approved the mandatory portion of the employee bonuses to be settled in shares. Once the voluntary and mandatory portions of the bonus to be settled in shares are determined, the final bonus liability to be settled in shares is transferred to the reserve for share-based payments. The costs relating to the matching shares are recognised over the relevant vesting period and the fair values of the equity-settled matching shares granted to employees are based on the quoted closing market price at the date of grant adjusted for the trued up percentage vesting rate of the plan. For details of the fair values and assumed vesting rates of the DBSP scheme see table below: Weighted Trued up average vesting fair rate value per share 2007 awards 415p 94.7% 2006 awards 353p 92.4% During the year 791,083 (2006: 597,167) Invested Awards and 791,083 (2006: 548,214) Matching Shares were granted to the participants in the scheme and 1,058,413 of the original 2006 awards and 1,500,298 of the 2007 awards (2006 awards: 1,104,503) were outstanding but not exercisable at 31 December 2007. The charge recognised in the 2007 income statement in relation to matching share awards amounted to US$2,393,000 in respect of 2007 awards and US$1,018,000 in respect of the second year of the 2006 awards (2006 year one awards charge: US$666,000). Share Incentive Plan (SIP) All UK employees, including UK resident Directors, are eligible to participate in the scheme. Employees may invest up to GBP1,500 per tax year of gross salary (or, if less, 10% of salary) to purchase ordinary shares in the Company. There is no holding period for these shares. Restricted Share Plan (RSP) Under the Restricted Share Plan scheme, employees are granted shares in the Company over a discretionary vesting period which may or may not be, at the direction of the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions. At present there are no performance conditions applying to this scheme nor is there currently any intention to introduce them in the future. The fair values of the awards granted under the plan at various grant dates during the year are based on the quoted market price at the date of grant adjusted for an assumed vesting rate over the relevant vesting period. For details of the fair values and assumed vesting rate of the RSP scheme, see table below: Weighted Trued up average vesting fair rate value per share 2007 awards 456p 100.0% 2006 awards 278p 96.3% The Company awarded 239,567 (2006: 161,101) shares to participants in the scheme during the year and recognised a charge of US$504,000 in the current year income statement (2006: US$79,000). At 31 December 2007, there were 394,216 (2006: 161,101) share awards outstanding but not exercisable. The group has recognised a total charge of US$5,412,000 (2006: US$1,281,000) in the income statement during the year relating to the above employee share-based schemes (see note 4f) which has been transferred to the reserve for share-based payments along with US$6,105,000 of the bonus liability accrued for the year ended 31 December 2006 which has been voluntarily elected or mandatorily obliged to be settled in shares granted during the year (2006: US$3,363,000). 23 OTHER RESERVES Net unrealised gains/(losses) Net on unrealised available-for- (losses) / Foreign Reserve for sale-financial gains on currency share-based assets derivatives translation payments Total US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 Balance at 1 January 2006 1,347 (11,213) (2,560) - (12,426) Foreign currency translation - - 7,449 - 7,449 Net gains on maturity of cash flow hedges recognised in income statement - (2,378) - - (2,378) Net changes in fair value of derivatives - 22,931 - - 22,931 Realised gains on the sale of available-for-sale financial assets recognised in income statement (1,671) - - - (1,671) Changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets 1,062 - - - 1,062 Share-based payments charge (note 22) - - - 1,281 1,281 Transfer during the year (note 22) - - - 3,363 3,363 --------------------------------------------------------- Balance at 1 January 2007 738 9,340 4,889 4,644 19,611 Foreign currency translation - - (72) - (72) Net gains on maturity of cash flow hedges recognised in income statement - (22,183) - (22,183) Net changes in fair value of derivatives - 41,734 - - 41,734 Changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets (140) - - - (140) Share-based payments charge (note 22) - - - 5,412 5,412 Transfer during the year (note 22) - - - 6,105 6,105 --------------------------------------------------------- Balance at 31 December 2007 598 28,891 4,817 16,161 50,467 ========================================================= Nature and purpose of other reserves Net unrealised gains / (losses) on available-for-sale financial assets This reserve records fair value changes on available-for-sale financial assets held by the group net of deferred tax effects. Realised gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised as other income or expenses in the income statement. Net unrealised gains / (losses) on derivatives The portion of gains or losses on cash flow hedging instruments that are determined to be effective hedges are included within this reserve net of related deferred tax effects. When the hedged transaction occurs or is no longer forecast to occur the gain or loss is transferred out of equity to the income statement. Realised net gains amounting to US$21,475,000 (2006: US$1,963,000) relating to foreign currency forward contracts have been recognised in cost of sales and realised net gains of US$708,000 (2006: US$415,000) relating to interest rate derivatives have been classified as a net interest expense. Foreign currency translation reserve The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements in foreign subsidiaries. It is also used to record exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the group's net investment in subsidiaries. Reserve for share-based payments The reserve for share-based payments is used to record the value of equity settled share-based payments awarded to employees and transfers out of this reserve are made upon vesting of the original share awards. The transfer during the year reflects the transfer from accrued expenses within trade and other payables of the bonus liability relating to the year ended 2006 of US$6,105,000 (2005 bonus of US$3,363,000) which has been voluntarily elected or mandatorily obliged to be settled in shares during the year (see note 22 for further information on this share-based payment scheme). 24 INTEREST-BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS The group had the following interest-bearing loans and borrowings outstanding: 31 December 31 December Effective 2007 2006 Actual Actual interest Maturity 2007 2006 interest interest rate% rate% rate% US$'000 US$'000 Current Revolving credit (i) US LIBOR + US LIBOR + US LIBOR + 2008 6,500 - facility 0.875% 0.875% 0.875% Short term loan (ii) KD Discount KD Discount KD Discount 2008 3,627 6,033 Rate + 1.50% Rate + 1.50% Rate + 1.50% Bank overdrafts (iii) UK LIBOR + UK LIBOR + UK LIBOR + 0.875%, US 0.875%, US 0.875%, US LIBOR + LIBOR LIBOR + 0.875%,KD +0.875%,KD 0.875%,KD Discount Rate Discount Discount Rate on demand 15,666 20,442 + 1.50% Rate + 1.50% + 1.50% Other loans: Current portion (iv) US/UK LIBOR + - 4.95% to 2,662 - of term loan 0.875%- 5.84% (2006: 5.39% to 6.26%) -------------- 28,455 26,475 ============== Non-current Revolving credit (v) US/UK LIBOR + US/UK LIBOR 4.97% to 2013 8,953 8,864 facility 0.875% + 0.875% 5.62% (2006: 5.73% to 6.04%) Revolving credit (i) US LIBOR + US LIBOR + (2006: 5.18%) 2008 - 6,500 facility 0.875% 0.875% Term loan (iv) US/UK LIBOR + US/UK LIBOR 4.95% to 2008-2013 75,019 77,111 0.875% + 0.875% 5.84% (2006: 5.39% to 6.26%) --------------- 83,972 92,475 Less: Debt acquisition costs, net of accumulated (2,332) (1,770) --------------- amortisation 81,640 90,705 =============== Details of the group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings are as follows: (i) Revolving credit facilities This facility, provided by The Royal Bank of Scotland / Halifax Bank of Scotland (RBOS/HBOS), is committed until 30 September 2008 and subject to annual review.

With the exception of Petrofac International Ltd, which under its existing bank covenants, is restricted from making upstream cash payments in excess of 70 per cent. of its net income in any one year, none of the Company's subsidiaries is subject to any material restrictions on their ability to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances to the Company. 25 PROVISIONS Other long- term employment benefits Provision for provision decommissioning Total US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 At 1 January 2007 11,366 1,132 12,498 Additions during the year 6,605 637 7,242 Unused amounts reversed (753) - (753) Unwinding of discount - 59 59 ---------------------------------------- At 31 December 2007 17,218 1,828 19,046 ======================================== Other long- term employment benefits provision Labour laws in certain countries in which the group operates require employers to provide for other long- term employment benefits. These benefits are payable to employees at the end of their period of employment. The provision for these long- term benefits is calculated based on the employees' last drawn salary at the balance sheet date and length of service, subject to the completion of a minimum service period in accordance with the local labour laws of the jurisdictions in which the group operates. Provision for decommissioning The decommissioning provision primarily relates to the Company's obligation for the removal of facilities and restoration of the site at the PM304 field in Malaysia. The liability is discounted at the rate of 3.5% and the unwinding of the discount is classified as a finance cost (note 5). The Company estimates that the cash outflow against this provision will arise in 2014. 26 OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIES 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Other financial liabilities - non-current Deferred consideration 13,622 7,373 Fair value of derivative instruments (note 31) 130 - Other 118 - ---------------------- 13,870 7,373 ====================== Other financial liabilities - current Interest payable 812 172 Fair value of derivative instruments (note 31) 52 - ---------------------- 864 172 ====================== 27 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Trade payables 187,417 122,683 Advances received from customers 61,744 118,117 Accrued expenses 136,514 83,125 Other taxes payable 16,885 15,696 Other payables 5,457 7,085 ----------------------- 408,017 346,706 ======================= Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on terms of between 30 and 60 days.

The group's activities expose it to various financial risks particularly associated with interest rate risk on its variable rate loans and borrowings and foreign currency risk on both conducting business in currencies other than reporting currency as well as translation of the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to the reporting currency. These risks are being addressed by using a combination of various derivative instruments, principally interest rate swaps, caps and forward currency contracts in line with the group's hedging policy. The group has a policy not to enter into speculative trading of financial derivatives. The Board of Directors of the Company has established an Audit Committee and Risk Committee to help identify, evaluate and manage the significant financial risks faced by the group and their activities are discussed in detail on pages X to Y of the financial statements. The other main risks besides interest rate and foreign currency risk arising from the group's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity price risk and the policies relating to these risks are discussed in detail below: Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the group's interest-bearing financial liabilities and assets. The group's exposure to market risk arising from changes in interest rates relates primarily to the group's long-term variable rate debt obligations and its cash and bank balances. The group's policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt and specifically to keep between 60% and 80% of its term borrowings at fixed or capped rates of interest. At 31 December 2007, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps and collars, approximately 69.1% (2006: 64.8%) of the group's term borrowings are at a fixed or capped rate of interest. Interest rate sensitivity analysis The impact on the group's pre-tax profit and equity due to a reasonably possible change in interest rates is demonstrated in the table below. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is repriced at intervals of less than one year. The other financial instruments of the group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges At 31 December 2007, the group held the following derivative instruments, designated as cash flow hedges in relation to floating rate interest-bearing loans and borrowings: Fair value of asset /(liability) Nominal amount Date 2007 2006 Instrument (US$ equivalent) Period to commenced US$'000 US$'000 maturity UK LIBOR interest US$9,531,000 1 year and 9 31 December 28 77 rate swap months 2004 UK interest rate - Matured 31 December - 4 cap 2004 US LIBOR interest - Matured 31 December - 487 rate swap 2004 UK LIBOR interest US$42,371,000 2 years 31 December (74) - rate collar 2007 US LIBOR interest US$35,310,000 2 years 31 December (56) - rate collar 2007 During 2007 changes in fair value of US$-102,000 (2006: US$501,000) relating to these derivative instruments were taken to equity and US$708,000 (2006: US$415,000) were recycled from equity into interest expense in the income statement. Foreign currency risk The group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases, and translation of assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the functional currency of its operating units. The group is also exposed to the translation of the functional currencies of its units to the US dollar reporting currency of the group. The following table summarises the percentage of foreign currency denominated revenues, costs, financial assets and financial liabilities, expressed in US dollar terms, of the group totals. Included in the foreign currency analysis below are currencies that are pegged to the US dollar and therefore the group is not exposed to foreign currency risk on these amounts. 2007 2006 % of foreign % of foreign currency currency denominated denominated items items Revenues 48.6% 70.1% Costs 68.7% 68.2% Current financial assets 67.9% 74.8% Non-current financial assets 0.6% 2.8% Current financial liabilities 45.8% 48.0% Non-current financial liabilities 44.0% 49.8% The group uses forward currency contracts to manage the currency exposure on transactions significant to its operations. It is the group's policy not to enter into forward contracts until a firm commitment is in place and to negotiate the terms of the derivative instruments used for hedging to match the terms of the hedged item to maximise hedge effectiveness. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The income statements of foreign operations are translated into the reporting currency using a weighted average rate of conversion. Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet. Revenues and costs in currencies other than the functional currency of an operating unit are recorded at the prevailing rate at the date of the transaction. The following significant exchange rates applied during the year in relation to US dollars: 2007 2006 Average Closing Average Closing rate rate rate rate Sterling 2.01 1.99 1.85 1.96 Kuwaiti Dinars 3.51 3.66 3.41 3.45 Euros 1.38 1.46 1.26 1.32 The following table summarises the impact on the group's pre-tax profit and equity (due to change in the fair value of monetary assets, liabilities and derivative instruments) of a reasonably possible change in US dollar exchange rates with respect to different currencies: Pre-tax profit Equity +10% US -5% US +10% US -5% US dollar dollar dollar dollar rate rate rate rate increase decrease increase decrease US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 31 December 2007 (27,285) 13,642 (35,065) 17,532 31 December 2006 (25,312) 12,656 (22,691) 11,345 Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges At 31 December 2007, the group had foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a fair value gain of US$28,657,000 (2006: US$8,840,000) as follows: Net unrealised Contract value Fair value gain/(loss) 2007 2006 2007 2006 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 Euro currency purchases 321,264 203,908 349,964 212,694 28,700 8,786 Sterling currency purchases 4,500 3,901 4,448 4,098 (52) 197 Yen currency purchases 678 13,379 687 13,236 9 (143) ----------------- 28,657 8,840 ================= The above foreign exchange contracts mature and will affect income between January 2008 and February 2009 (2006: between January 2007 and February 2008). During 2007, changes in fair value of US$41,500,000 (2006: US$22,430,000) relating to these derivative instruments were taken to equity and US$21,475,000 (2006: US$1,963,000) were recycled from equity into cost of sales in the income statement. Commodity price risk - oil prices The group is exposed to the impact of changes in oil prices on its revenues and profits generated from sales of crude oil. The group did not hedge this risk in the current year as the exposure to movements in the price of oil primarily relating to the Cendor field in Malaysia were not considered significant. However in late 2007, the group introduced a new oil production hedging strategy whereby on a project by project basis it evaluates the size of the potential oil price exposure and using the near term forward oil price curve aims to hedge up to 75% of its current year P90 production forecasts. On 23 November 2007, the group entered into a zero premium oil price collar to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in oil prices which mature on a monthly basis from 31 January 2008 to 31 December 2008. The collar hedges 240,000 barrels of oil production with a floor price of US$85.00 per barrel and a capped price of US$102.30 per barrel. The fair value of the oil price collar at 31 December 2007 was US$336,000 with a corresponding gain recognised in equity. The following table summarises the impact on the group's pre-tax profit and equity (due to a change in the fair value of oil derivative instruments and the overlifting liability) of a reasonably possible change in the oil price: Pre-tax profit Equity +10 US$/ -10 US$/ +10 US$/ -10 US$/ bbl bbl bbl bbl increase decrease increase decrease US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 31 December 2007 (446) 446 (1,739) 741 31 December 2006 - - - - Credit risk The group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. Divisional Risk Review Committees (DRRC) have been set up by the Board of Directors to evaluate the creditworthiness of each individual third party at the time of entering into new contracts. Limits have been placed on the approval authority of the DRRC above which the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company is required. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the group's exposure to bad debts is not considered a key risk. At 31 December 2007, the group's five largest customers accounted for 58.0% of outstanding trade receivables and work in progress (2006: 66.3%). With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets and certain derivative instruments, the group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Liquidity risk The group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts, revolving credit facilities, project finance and term loans to reduce its exposure to liquidity risk. The maturity profiles of the group's financial liabilities at 31 December 2007 are as follows: Year ended 31 December 2007 Contractual 6 6-12 1-2 2-5 More undiscounted Carrying months than or less months years years 5 years cash flows amount US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 Financial liabilities Interest-bearing loans and borrowings 19,293 9,162 10,000 51,222 22,750 112,427 110,095 Trade and other payables (excluding advances from customers) 345,833 440 - - - 346,273 346,273 Income tax payable 28,658 18,919 - - - 47,577 47,577 Due to related parties 744 - - - - 744 744 Deferred consideration 1,964 2,088 9,570 - - 13,622 13,622 Derivative instruments 52 - 130 - - 182 182 Interest payable 812 - - - - 812 812 -------------------------------------------------------------- 397,356 30,609 19,700 51,222 22,750 521,637 519,305 ============================================================== Year ended 31 December 2006 Contractual 6 6-12 1-2 2-5 More undiscounted Carrying months than or less months years years 5 years cash flows amount US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 Financial liabilities Interest-bearing loans and borrowings 19,317 7,158 9,000 39,312 44,163 118,950 117,180 Trade and other payables (excluding advances from customers) 211,722 16,867 - - - 228,589 228,589 Income tax payable 8,042 277 1,766 - - 10,085 10,085 Due to related parties 182 - - - - 182 182 Deferred consideration - 7,210 73 90 - 7,373 7,373 Interest payable 172 - - - - 172 172 -------------------------------------------------------------- 239,435 31,512 10,839 39,402 44,163 365,351 363,581 ============================================================== The group uses various funded facilities provided by banks and its own financial assets to fund the above mentioned financial liabilities. Capital management The group's policy is to maintain a healthy capital base to sustain future growth and maximise shareholder value. The group seeks to optimise shareholder returns by maintaining a balance between debt and capital and monitors the efficiency of its capital structure on a regular basis. The gearing ratio and return on shareholders' equity is as follows: 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 Cash and short-term deposits 581,552 457,848 Interest-bearing loans and borrowings (A) (110,095) (117,180) ------------------------- Net cash (B) 471,457 340,668 ========================= Equity attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders (C) 485,795 324,695 ========================= Profit for the year attributable to Petrofac Limited shareholders (D) 188,716 120,332 ========================= Gross gearing ratio (A/C) 22.7% 36.1% ========================= Net gearing ratio (B/C) Net cash Net cash position position ========================= Shareholders' return on investment (D/C) 38.8% 37.1% ========================= Fair values of financial assets and liabilities The fair value of the group's financial instruments and their carrying amounts included within the group's balance sheet are set out below: Carrying amount Fair value 2007 2006 2007 2006 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 US$'000 Financial assets Cash and short-term deposits 581,552 457,848 581,552 457,848 Restricted cash 1,351 883 1,351 883 Available-for-sale financial assets 1,586 1,726 1,586 1,726 Oil derivatives 336 - 336 - Interest rate swap 28 568 28 568 Forward currency contracts 28,709 8,840 28,709 8,840 ========================================= Financial liabilities Interest-bearing loans and borrowings 110,095 117,180 110,095 117,180 Deferred consideration 13,622 7,373 13,622 7,373 Interest rate collar 130 - 130 - Forward currency contracts 52 - 52 - ========================================== Market values have been used to determine the fair values of available-for-sale financial assets and forward currency contracts. The fair values of interest rate swaps, collars and caps have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing interest rates. The fair values of long-term interest-bearing loans and borrowings are their amortised costs determined as the present value of discounted future cash flows using the effective interest rate. The Company considers that the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, other current and non-current financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values and are therefore excluded from the above table. 32 SUBSIDIARIES AND JOINT VENTURES At 31 December 2007, the group had investments in the following subsidiaries and incorporated joint ventures: Proportion of nominal value of issued shares Name of company Country of controlled by the incorporation group Trading subsidiaries 2007 2006 Petrofac Inc.
