Audited financial statements for Lavendon as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 which are included in this
offering memorandum were prepared in accordance with IFRS. Lavendon's audited financial statements have been audited by
their statutory auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Deloitte LLP for the year ended

The discussion of Lavendon's results of operations refers to indicators relating to its "underlying business," which
exclude charges for amortization of intellectual property and intangibles recognized on acquisitions, and certain exceptional items.
Lavendon defines exceptional items to be those that, by virtue of their nature, size or frequency, warrant separate disclosure in the
financial statements in order to better understand its underlying performance. Such exceptional items include, but are not limited
to, costs of reorganization and restructuring, impairment of non-current assets, significant one-off financing costs and significant
one-off claims. The measures described below do not comply with IFRS, see " Non-IFRS Financial Measures." Lavendon
presents these non-IFRS measures because it believes that they and similar measures are widely used by certain investors as
supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. Lavendon's underlying results, for example, facilitate comparison with prior
periods and the understanding of its financial performance These non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures of other companies and may have limitations as analytical tools. They also reflect an important aspect of the way
in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Lavendon management.
Lavendon also provides certain information on the basis of "constant exchange rates." This means that percentage
changes are calculated by comparing (i) figures for the specified year, using foreign currency revenues and expenses converted to
pounds sterling on the basis of the exchange rate for the prior year (using the average rate for income statement items and the
closing rate for balance sheet items), with (ii) the actual prior year figures. For purposes of these presentations, the following 2015
exchange rates were used for 2016 figures provided at "constant exchange rates:"

* The pound sterling/U.S.dollar exchange rate is used by Lavendon in the presentation of its financial information as a
proxy for various Middle East currencies that are pegged to the U.S. dollar, to facilitate the presentation and comparability of
financial information relating to its operations in the Middle East. In practice, Lavendon accounts for its operations in the
applicable local currencies and converts its results to pounds sterling using the applicable foreign exchange rates.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts expressed both in pounds sterling and in euros were converted at a period-end
fixed exchange rate of 0.85618 per pound sterling at December 31, 2016 and 0.85305 per pound sterling at February 28, 2017,
and at an average exchange rate of 0.85713 per pound sterling for results of operations for the two months ended at February 28,
2017.
