include confirmation during the year of the
applicability of a lower tax rate in relation to the group's projects in Oman. The lower rate applies to the profits earned
in earlier years; the effect has been recognised as an adjustment in respect of prior years in the tax reconciliation. Also
a higher proportion of Engineering & Construction segmental profits have been earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions. The
Energy Developments business unit has claimed the tax allowances available to it during 2009 and in particular Ring Fence
Expenditure Supplement which is available for a limited number of accounting periods for company's carrying on a ring fence
trade within the UK Continental Shelf. 
 
For the year ended 31 December 2008 the Company obtained Jersey exempt company status and was therefore exempt from Jersey
income tax on non-Jersey source income and bank interest (by concession). From 1 January 2009 the Jersey exempt company
status regime has been abolished and under the new regime the Company will be charged to tax in Jersey at the rate of 0%.
No material impact to the income tax expense is expected to arise as a result of this change.

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:

10           BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 
 
Acquisitions in 2008 
 
Eclipse Petroleum Technology Limited 
 
On 25 July 2008, the group acquired a 100% interest in the share capital of Eclipse Petroleum Technology Limited (Eclipse),
a specialist production engineering company. The consideration for the acquisition inclusive of transaction costs of
Sterling 195,000 (equivalent US$388,000), was Sterling 8,150,000 (equivalent US$16,200,000). The consideration of Sterling
7,955,000 (equivalent US$15,812,000), excluding transaction costs, comprised of Sterling 6,000,000 (equivalent
US$11,927,000) in cash, Sterling 1,000,000 (equivalent US$1,988,000) to be satisfied with 158,177 ordinary shares vesting
in two years' time and the balance being the discounted value of deferred consideration amounting to Sterling 955,000
(equivalent US$1,897,000) payable based on the estimated future profitability of Eclipse. The deferred consideration in no
event will exceed an additional amount of Sterling 9,000,000 (equivalent US$17,892,000). 
 
The fair value of net assets acquired was US$3,960,000, which included fair value of intangible assets recognised on
acquisition of US$2,179,000. These intangible assets recognised on acquisition comprise a proprietary software system which
is being amortised over its remaining economic useful life of six years on a straight-line basis. 
 
During the year, income of US$152,000 (2008: US$275,000 charge) for the unwinding of interest has been reflected in the
income statement reflecting the catch-up impact of the change in the estimated deferred consideration payable during 2009. 
 
The deferred consideration was re-assessed at year end in the light of latest financial projections for the business and
the current carried amount was reduced by Sterling 1,025,000 (equivalent US$1,712,000) with a corresponding decrease in the
carried goodwill. 
 
The residual goodwill of Sterling 5,133,000 (equivalent US$8,327,000) (2008: Sterling 6,158,000, equivalent US$8,995,000)
comprises the fair value of expected future synergies and business opportunities arising from the integration of the
business in to the group. 
 
Caltec Limited 
 
On 29 August 2008, the group acquired a 100% interest in the share capital of Caltec Limited (Caltec), a specialist
production technology company, for a consideration of Sterling 26,776,000 (equivalent US$48,956,000), including transaction
costs of Sterling 596,000 (equivalent US$1,093,000).  The consideration of Sterling 26,180,000 (equivalent US$47,863,000),
excluding transaction costs, comprised of Sterling 15,699,000 (equivalent US$28,641,000) in cash as initial consideration
and working capital adjustments and the balance being the discounted value of deferred consideration of Sterling 10,481,000
(equivalent US$19,222,000) payable based on the expected achievement of future performance targets set for the company. The
deferred consideration in no event will exceed an additional amount of Sterling 15,000,000 (equivalent US$27,510,000). 
 
The fair value of net assets acquired was US$8,843,000, which included fair value of intangible assets recognised on
acquisition of US$9,830,000. These intangible assets recognised on acquisition represent patented technology which is being
amortised over its remaining economic useful life of ten years on a straight-line basis. 
 
During the year, a charge of US$752,000 (2008: US$248,000) for the unwinding of interest has been reflected in the income
statement. 
 
During the year, 97,530 (Sterling 1,000,000 equivalent US$1,614,000) Petrofac shares were issued in settlement of

The decrease in goodwill is as a result of the reassessment of deferred consideration payable on SPD Group Limited of
US$4,351,000, Eclipse Petroleum Technology Limited of US$1,712,000 and Caltec Limited of US$2,929,000. 
 
Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to four groups of cash-generating units, which are
operating segments, for impairment testing as follows: 
 
&middot;      Offshore Engineering & Operations 
 
&middot;      Production Solutions 
 
&middot;      Training 
 
&middot;      Energy Developments 
 
These represent the lowest level within the group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. 
 
Offshore Engineering & Operations, Production Solutions and Training cash-generating units 
 
The recoverable amounts for the Offshore Engineering & Operations, Production Solutions 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 is confident based on past experience of the accuracy of
long-term cash flow forecasts that these projections are reliable. The cash flow projections are based on financial budgets
approved by senior management covering a five year period, extrapolated for a further five years at a growth rate of 5% for
Offshore Engineering & Operations and Training cash-generating units and 2.5% per annum for Production Solutions
cash-generating unit since it includes newly acquired businesses (note 10) where there is less historic track record of
achieving financial projections. Management considers these long-term growth rates to be conservative 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 assumptions for the unit approved by senior
management and covering a five year period, as referred to in IAS 36.

Key assumptions used in value in use calculations 
 
The calculation of value in use for the Offshore Engineering & Operations, Production Solutions and Training units is most
sensitive to the following assumptions: 
 
Market share: the assumption relating to market share for the Offshore Engineering & Operations 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 Offshore
Engineering & Operations and Training cash-generating units for the remaining five years of the ten year projection period
and 2.5% per annum for Production Solutions cash-generating unit since it includes newly acquired businesses (note 10)
where there is less historic track record of achieving financial projections. 
 
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 14.5% per annum for Offshore Engineering & Operations (2008:
16.1%), Production Solutions (2008: 16.1%) and Training (2008: 15.1%) cash-generating units which are 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: 
 
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 2009 was
10.5% for each asset (2008: 11.4%). 
 
Oil & gas prices:management has used an oil price assumption of US$70 (2008: US$55) per barrel and a gas price of US$8.30
(2008: US$6.40) per mcf 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.

The credit quality of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is assessed by management with reference to
externally prepared customer credit reports and the historic payment track records of the counterparties. 
 
Advances represent payments made to certain of the group's sub-contractors for projects in progress, on which the related
work had not been performed at the balance sheet date. The significant increase in advances during 2009 relates to some
major new contract awards in the Engineering & Construction business. 
 
Included in other receivables are US$46,697,000 (2008: US$ nil) recoverable from venture partners on the Don assets being
their share of accrued expenses. 
 
All trade and other receivables are expected to be settled in cash. 
 
Certain trade and other receivables will be settled in cash using currencies other than the reporting currency of the
group, and will be largely paid in Sterling and Kuwaiti Dinars.

22       SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS 
 
Performance Share Plan (PSP) 
 
Under the Performance Share Plan of the Company, share awards are granted to executive Directors and a restricted number of
other senior executives of the group. 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 value per share  Assumed vesting rate

 2007 awards  415p                  94.9%

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:

Deferred Bonus Share Plan (DBSP) 
 
Executive Directors and selected employees were originally eligible to participate in this scheme although the Remuneration
Committee decided during 2007 that executive Directors should no longer continue to 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 an award, the Company will generally grant the participant an additional award of a
number of shares bearing a specified ratio to the number of his or her invested shares ("Matching Shares"). 
 
The 2006 share 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 the 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% on the second
anniversary of the date of grant and the final 33.34% of the award on the third anniversary of the date of grant. 
 
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. The details
of the fair values and assumed vesting rates of the DBSP scheme are below:

Share Incentive Plan (SIP) 
 
All UK employees, including UK resident Directors, are eligible to participate in the scheme. Employees may invest up to
Sterling 1,500 per tax year of gross salary (or, if lower, 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 below:
