Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
 
1.         Basis of Preparation 
 
The financial statements consolidate those of Hunting PLC (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the
"Group") and include the Group's interests in associates. 
 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and those International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRS IC") Interpretations as adopted by the European
Union. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention as
modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, the defined benefit pension asset and those financial
assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss. The Board's consideration of the applicability
of the going concern basis is detailed further on pages 48 and 49. 
 
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out in note 37 of the
2015 Annual Report and Accounts. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented. 
 
Adoption of New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations 
 
The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been adopted and are effective for the Group's accounting
period beginning on or after 1 January 2015: 
 
·      Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle 
 
Although the adoption of these amendments represents a change in accounting policy, comparative figures for 2014 have not
been restated for these, as the changes do not impact the financial performance or position of the Group. 
 
The following standards, amendments and interpretations are effective subsequent to the year end and are being assessed to
determine whether there is a significant impact on the Group's results or financial position: 
 
·      IFRS 9 Financial Instruments* 
 
·      IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers* 
 
·      IFRS 16 Leases* 
 
·      Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception* 
 
·      Amendments to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative

Venture* 
 
·      Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements 
 
·      Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation 
 
·      Amendments to IFRS 11: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations 
 
·      Amendments to IAS 19: Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions

2.         Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements and assumptions about the future, resulting
in the use of accounting estimates. These will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results and adjustments will
consequently be necessary. Estimates are continually evaluated, based on experience, consultation with experts and
reasonable expectations of future events. Accounting estimates are applied in determining the carrying amounts of the
following significant assets and liabilities: 
 
 Asset/liability                                                                                                             Nature of estimates

When goodwill is initially recognised upon a business combination, it is allocated to the CGUs that are expected to    
                                                                                                                             benefit from the combination.-      The goodwill of each CGU is subsequently reviewed for impairment at least annually by comparing its carrying value with the recoverable amount based on the estimated future gross cash flows that are expected to be       
                                                                                                                             generated by the CGU.-      The estimated future gross cash flows are based on the Directors' view of their future trading prospects and are discounted at a rate that is determined for each CGU in isolation by consideration of their business risk profiles. 
                                                                                                                             -      Any shortfall in the recoverable amount is charged to the income statement immediately.-      During the year, the estimated future gross cash flows expected from a number of CGUs were revised downwards to reflect the severity of the downturn in the 
                                                                                                                             oil and gas sector and its impact on business activity levels. Consequently, goodwill was impaired by $208.2m during the year to reflect these revised estimates.-      Further details of goodwill are disclosed in note 10.                                   
 Property, plant andequipment and otherintangible assets Combined carrying valueat 31 December 2015$641.2m (2014 - $697.8m)  -      The Group's property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (except goodwill) are depreciated/amortised at rates that are intended to spread the irrecoverable cost of the assets over their useful lives. The Directors must therefore estimate the 
                                                                                                                             useful lives of the assets, their residual values and the pattern of consumption of their carrying values. Each asset is also regularly reviewed to ensure it remains consistent with the Directors' assumptions and, when required, adjustments are made       
                                                                                                                             prospectively.-      In addition, the carrying value of each asset must not be less than the minimum future benefits that are expected to be generated by that asset. As part of the impairment exercise referred to above, a number of property, plant and     
                                                                                                                             equipment assets in the Drilling Tools business have been impaired during the year to reflect a reduction in the estimated future cash flows arising from the sustained current downturn in the oil and gas sector.-      Further details of the Group's        
                                                                                                                             property, plant and equipment and the other intangible assets are disclosed in notes 9 and 11 respectively.                                                                                                                                                     
 Taxation Carrying value of thenet tax asset at31 December 2015$10.7m (2014 - $55.2m net liability)                          -      In determining current tax estimates, management has to consider the likelihood of tax authority challenges and estimates tax payable accordingly. Management base their estimates in relation to current taxes by considering the enacted and           
                                                                                                                             substantively enacted tax laws and rates at the balance sheet date. This incorporates territories in which the Group operates and any uncertainty in interpretation of those laws and their assessment of the tax risks and exposures and judgement of likely   
                                                                                                                             outcome, taking into account their past experience of enquiries from tax authorities and other relevant information.-      The deferred tax balances at 31 December 2015 represent an estimate of the amounts that are expected to be paid or recovered from the 
                                                                                                                             tax authorities in future periods if assets and liabilities in the balance sheet were recovered at their carrying values based on tax laws and rates that have been substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Measurement of deferred tax balances       
                                                                                                                             therefore requires management to assess the substantively enacted tax laws and rates, the timing of the reversal of existing taxable and deductible temporary differences and the nature, timing and amount of taxable income which would potentially be        
                                                                                                                             available to support the recognition of deferred tax assets. Management base their estimates of recoverability of deferred tax assets using these criteria for each separate significant category of deductible temporary difference and losses carried forward. 
 Oil and gas explorationand development assets Carrying value at31 December 2015$4.8m (2014 - $12.5m)                        -      The carrying value of the Group's oil and gas exploration and development assets is subject to the value in use of the Group's oil and gas reserves.-      The value in use is determined by applying a present value to the estimated future producible 
                                                                                                                             reserves at a given forecast market price.-      The estimate of producible reserves is principally extracted using a combination of geological data and production performance records.-      The estimate of market prices is based on the medium-term futures 
                                                                                                                             prices (four to six years) issued by NYMEX.-      The discount rate is based on the activity's cost of capital and specific risk premium, which is estimated to be 12% pre-tax.                                                                                 
 
 
3.         Segmental Reporting 
 
The Group reports on seven operating segments, three of which are discontinued operations, in its internal management
reports, which are used to make strategic decisions by the Hunting PLC Board, the Group's Chief Operating Decision Maker
("CODM"). The Group's continuing operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services
to international oil and gas companies and undertake exploration and production activities. 
 
The Group measures the performance of its operating segments based on revenue and profit from operations, before
exceptional items and the amortisation of acquired intangible assets. Accounting policies used for segment reporting
reflect those used for the Group. Inter-segment sales are priced on an arm's length basis. 
 
(a)           Continuing Operations 
 
The Well Construction segment provides products and services used by customers for the drilling phase of oil and gas wells,
along with associated equipment used by the underground construction industry for telecommunication infrastructure
build-out and precision machining services for the energy, aviation and power generation sectors. 
 
The Well Completion segment provides products and services used by customers for the completion phase of oil and gas
wells. 
 
The Well Intervention segment provides products and services used by customers for the production, maintenance and
restoration of existing oil and gas wells. 
 
The Exploration and Production segment includes the Group's oil and gas exploration and production activities in the
Southern US and offshore Gulf of Mexico. The Board of Hunting will not be making any new capital investment, beyond where
the division has contractual commitments. No exploration and evaluation activities have occurred during the year. The
division will in future focus on producing out its remaining reserves, with a view to winding down the operation. 
 
Costs and overheads incurred centrally are apportioned to the continuing operating segments on the basis of time attributed
to those operations by senior executives. 
 
(b)           Discontinued Operations 
 
The discontinued operations comprise Gibson Shipbrokers, which was sold on 31 March 2015, Field Aviation, which was sold in
2012, and Gibson Energy, which was sold in 2008. Gibson Energy and Field Aviation continue to generate accounting entries
due to sale-related transactions and are required for reconciliation purposes. 
 
The following tables present the results of the operating segments on the same basis as that used for internal reporting
purposes to the CODM.
