32 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk management objectives and policies
The group's principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise
bank loans, loan notes, non-recourse structured finance, cash and short-term
deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the
group's operations. The group has various other financial instruments such as
trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.
The group also uses derivative transactions, principally interest rate swaps and
caps, and forward currency contracts to manage the interest rate and currency
risks arising from the group's operations and its sources of finance. It is the
group's policy that no trading in financial instruments be undertaken.
The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are interest rate
risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Interest rate risk
The group's exposure to market risk for 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 borrowings at fixed or capped rates of interest. At 31 December 2006, after
taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps and caps, approximately
64.8% (2005: 84.7%) of the group's term borrowings are at a fixed or capped rate
of interest.
Foreign currency risk
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 hedge derivatives to match the terms of the hedged
item to maximise hedge effectiveness.
Credit risk
The group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. Receivable
balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the group's
exposure to bad debts is not considered significant. At 31 December 2006, the
group's five largest customers accounted for 66.3% of outstanding trade
receivables and work in progress (2005: 69.8%).
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.
Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of the group's financial instruments as compared to their
carrying amounts included within the group's balance sheet are set out below:
Carrying amount Fair value
2006 2005 2006 2005

Available-for-sale financial assets 1,726 2,413 1,726 2,413
Interest rate caps and swaps 568 672 568 672
Forward currency contracts 8,840 - 8,840 -

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings 117,180 106,870 117,180 106,870
Deferred consideration 7,373 4,450 7,373 4,450
Interest rate swaps - 147 - 147
Forward currency contracts - 11,452 - 11,452
============================================
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 and caps have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash
flows at prevailing interest rates. 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.
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 following table indicates the years over which these financial
liabilities and assets will reprice or mature:

Financial liabilities in the above table are disclosed gross of debt acquisition
costs of US$1,770,000 (2005: US$1,412,000).
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 2006, the group held the following derivative instruments,
designated as cash flow hedges in relation to floating rate interest-bearing
loans and borrowings:

Foreign currency risk
The group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings
that are entered into in a currency other than US Dollars. The group uses
forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk, when
considered appropriate. At 31 December 2006, the group had foreign exchange
contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a fair value gain of US$8,840,000
(2005: fair value loss US$11,452,000) as follows:

================
The above foreign exchange contracts mature between January 2007 and February
2008 (2005: between January 2006 and June 2007).
During 2005, the group acquired an option from a bank to purchase Euro currency
equivalent to US$31,368,000 by paying a premium of US$689,000. At 31 December
2005, the fair value of the option was US$461,000 with an unrealised loss
deferred in equity of US$228,000. In October 2006, the option was exercised and
a gain of US$105,000 was recognised in the income statement.
33 EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
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 estimated
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 values at
the date of issue to the vendor over three years in equal instalments on the
anniversary of the transaction.
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 has been estimated at US$12,025,000 and this will be reassessed
each year to fair value and any adjustment to the deferred consideration arising
will be reflected in goodwill except for the unwinding of interest which will be
reflected in the income statement as an interest expense. The total
consideration for the 100% interest therefore, including transaction costs,
amounts to US$19,897,000.
33 EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
The 100% fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of SPD Group
Limited at the date of acquisition are analysed below and these are provisional
