Notes:

1.   Payments made in local currencies are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.

2.   Certain royalty payments are made in kind, the value of which is calculated with reference to market rates at the time of payment.

3.   Taxes withheld from income earned by the Petrofac Group have been included within the amounts listed as "Taxes" in the tables shown above, despite the fact that the amounts withheld weren't directly paid to the government by the Petrofac Group.  This approach represents a more complete view of the taxes borne by Petrofac in Thailand.  The adoption of this approach would have illustrated taxes paid in Thailand per our 2015 report of $0.9m.

4.   In line with the UK Regulations, where a payment or a series or related payments have not exceeded £86,000, they have not been disclosed

5.   No other businesses within the Petrofac Group are impacted by this legislation and its reporting requirements.
