economy on our business, liquidity and results of operations and financial position; statements as to our strategy and the expected impact thereof;
statements as to the timing of the sale of certain assets held for sale; statements as to the expected relocation of certain of our offices, and the expected cost of such relocation; statements as to the future level of activity expected in our
joint ventures, the access to cash held by our joint ventures, the demand for products and services provided by our joint ventures and the potential liability for failure of our joint venture partners to fulfill their obligations; expectations as to

The forward-looking statements
that we make reflect our current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual and future results and trends could differ materially from those set forth in such statements due to various
factors, including those discussed in this Report under Item 3. Key InformationRisk Factors, Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects and Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk.

The following factors, and others which are discussed in our public filings with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC) including this Report, are among those that may cause actual and future results and trends to differ materially from our forward-looking statements: (i) our ability to deliver fixed price projects
in accordance with client expectations and the parameters of our bids and avoid cost overruns; (ii) our ability to collect receivables, negotiate variation orders and collect the related revenues; (iii) our ability to recover costs on
significant projects; (iv) capital expenditures by oil and gas companies; (v) oil and gas prices; (vi) delays or cancellation of projects included in our backlog; (vii) general economic conditions and competition in the markets
and businesses in which we operate; (viii) prevailing prices for our products and services; (ix) the loss of, or deterioration of our relationship with, any significant clients; (x) the outcome of legal proceedings or governmental
inquiries; (xi) uncertainties inherent in operating internationally, including economic, political and social instability, boycotts or embargoes, labor unrest, changes in foreign governmental regulations, corruption and currency fluctuations;
(xii) liability to third parties for the failure of our joint venture partners to fulfill their obligations; (xiii) changes in, or our failure to comply with, applicable laws and regulations; (xiv) cost and availability of raw
materials; (xv) operating hazards, including spills, environmental damage, personal or property damage and business interruptions caused by adverse weather; (xvi) equipment or mechanical failures which could increase costs, impair revenues
and result in penalties for failure to meet project completion requirements; (xvii) the timely delivery of ships on order and the timely completion of ship conversion programs; (xviii) the impact of accounting for projects on a
percentage-of-completion basis, which could reduce or eliminate reported profits; (xix) adverse weather conditions; (xx) our ability to keep pace with technological changes; (xxi) the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting; and (xxii) other factors which are described from time to time in our public filings with the SEC.

Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Neither our independent registered public accountants, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the forward-looking financial information contained
herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following factors and the other information contained in this
Report, including the information incorporated by reference into this Report. The following is a summary of the risks that may affect some or all of our activities and which may make an investment in our securities risky. This list is not
exhaustive. If any of the events described below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Operational Risks

Unexpected costs may adversely affect the amount we realize from fixed-price contracts.

A significant proportion of our business is performed on a fixed-price or turnkey basis. Approximately 78% of our revenue from
continuing operations was derived from fixed-price contracts in fiscal year 2007 (2006: 75%, 2005: 75%). Long-term fixed-priced contracts, most of which are awarded on a competitive bidding basis, are inherently risky because of the possibility that
we might incur costs that we did not expect at the time of bidding, including the cost of satisfying post-completion warranty obligations. Such unexpected costs can result in losses on fixed price contracts. Additionally, because we employ the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting, such unexpected costs could require us to take charges against earnings to reflect properly the level of completion of a project and to recognize loss-making projects currently. For example, in fiscal
year 2007 we experienced significant local contractor cost overruns in our Mexilhao Trunkline project relating to logistic,

##### Table of Contents

transportation and works, which resulted in loss recognition on the project. The net effect of significant revisions on major contracts was a net gain from
continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 of $127.9 million (2006: $74.2 million, 2005: $60.3 million), and a profit (loss) from discontinued operations in fiscal year 2007 of $10.1 million (2006: $(18.7) million, 2005: $(15.4) million). The cost
and gross profit realized on such contracts can vary from those expected because of changes beyond our control, including but not limited to:



| |  |  | unanticipated technical problems with the equipment we are supplying or developing which may require that we spend our own money to remedy the problem;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unanticipated problems with trenching, ploughing, dredging, back-filling, rock dumping and other activities which depend upon seabed or subsoil conditions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unanticipated changes in the costs of components, materials or labor;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in governmental regulations affecting our activities or unanticipated difficulties in obtaining required governmental permits or approvals;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | project modifications and variation orders creating unanticipated costs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays caused by local weather;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | suppliers or subcontractors failure to perform in a timely manner; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | logistics costs.
| | - |  | ----------------

These risks are
exacerbated if the duration of the project is long-term, where it may be more likely that the circumstances upon which we originally bid and developed a price will change in a manner that increases our costs. Our long-term projects often subject us
to penalties if we cannot complete portions of the projects in accordance with agreed-upon time limits.

We may experience equipment
or mechanical failures, which could increase costs, impair revenues and result in penalties for failure to meet project completion requirements.

The successful execution of contracts requires a high degree of reliability of our ships, barges and equipment. Breakdowns not only add to the costs of executing a project, but they can also delay the completion of
subsequent contracts, which are scheduled to utilize the same assets. Although the high utilization of our asset base in recent periods reflects our increased activity, it also puts a strain on our ability to avoid such mechanical failures. The
Group operates a scheduled maintenance program in order to keep all assets in good working order, but despite this breakdowns can occur. For example, in November 2005, we experienced a problem involving a thruster of the Acergy Polaris,
working offshore West Africa. This affected the operational capabilities of the ship during the first and second quarter of fiscal year 2006 and adversely impacted our operating results from continuing operations for fiscal years 2006 and 2005.
During fiscal year 2006, the breakdown of a third party vessel similarly affected our results from discontinued operations. In 2007, thruster problems on the Acergy Harrier affected the operating capabilities of the ship and adversely
impacted our operating results. If we experience any other equipment or mechanical failures with our major assets, such problems could increase costs, impair revenues and result in penalties for failure to meet project completion requirements, which
may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we experience difficulties resolving
claims and variation orders, this may adversely impact our cash flows and liquidity.

In the ordinary course of our business, we
must negotiate with our clients to resolve claims and variation orders. A claim is an amount in excess of the agreed contract price (or amount not included in the original contract price) that a contractor seeks to collect from clients
or others for client-caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, variation orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price or other causes of unanticipated additional costs. A variation order is
a written change to the provisions of a project contract, which may be initiated by either us or our client. It is customary that, where a variation to



7

##### Table of Contents

the project scope or specifications is required, we continue to execute the project to completion, although we may not have reached a precise agreement with
our client on the financial responsibilities of all parties. We often try to resolve these later by negotiating claims and variation orders. In the past, we have had significant difficulties in resolving certain claims and variation orders and
collecting amounts that we believed were owed to us. We believe we have been able to achieve agreement with clients on most of such disputed items. However, difficulties in resolving claims and variation orders for current or future projects may
have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Our business is affected by
expenditures by participants in the oil and gas industry.

Demand for our services depends on expenditures by participants in the
oil and gas industry and particularly on capital expenditure budgets of the companies engaged in the exploration, development and production of offshore oil and gas. The oil and gas industry has been consolidating. There are fewer and larger oil and
gas companies that control expenditures for the types of services and products that we and our competitors provide. Offshore oil and gas field capital expenditures are also influenced by many other factors beyond our control, including:



| |  |  | prices of oil and gas and anticipated growth in world oil and gas demand;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the discovery rate of new offshore oil and gas reserves;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the economic feasibility of developing particular offshore oil and gas fields;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the production from existing producing oil and gas fields;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic conditions in areas where offshore oil and gas exploration and development may occur;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | governmental regulations regarding environmental protection and the oil and gas industry generally, including policies regarding the exploration for, pricing and
production and development of their oil and gas reserves; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of oil and gas companies to access or generate capital and the cost of such capital.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There might be delays or cancellation of projects included in our backlog, which may adversely affect our future revenues.

The dollar amount of our backlog does not necessarily indicate future revenues or earnings related to the performance of that work. Backlog refers to
expected future revenues under signed contracts, which we have determined are likely to be performed. During the course of a project, the backlog is adjusted to take account of alterations to the scope of work under approved variation orders and
contract extensions. Although the backlog represents only business that we consider to be firm, cancellations, delays or scope adjustments have occurred in the past and are likely to occur in the future. Due to factors outside our control, such as
changes in project scope and schedule, we cannot predict with certainty when or if projects included in our backlog will be performed. Delays or cancellations of projects in our backlog may adversely affect our future revenues.

We may be liable to third parties for the failure of our joint venture partners to fulfill their obligations.

Under some of our project agreements, we may be liable on a joint and several basis to the client for the performance of the entire contract and any
non-performance by our subcontractors or partners in the project is our responsibility. If our project partner or subcontractor in such arrangement fails to fulfill its obligations, we could have to carry the resultant liability toward the client
and would have to rely on our ability to obtain reimbursement from our project partner or subcontractor for our costs, over and above the reimbursement from the client. Obtaining such reimbursement could require us to engage in litigation and could
take a substantial amount of time. If our partner or subcontractor became insolvent or ceased operations, we might not be able to obtain reimbursement.

Our international operations expose us to political, social and economic instability in the
developing countries in which we operate and other risks inherent in international business, any of which could increase our costs, reduce our future growth opportunities and thereby affect our operating results.

Our operations in the Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, Acergy South America and Acergy Asia and Middle East segments are mainly performed in emerging
markets such as Angola, Congo, Nigeria, Brazil and Vietnam. These segments accounted for approximately 66% of our total net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 (2006: 56%, 2005: 57%). Operations in these emerging markets
present risks including:



| |  |  | economic instability, which could make it difficult for us to anticipate future business conditions in these markets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political instability, which could discourage investment and complicate our dealings with governments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased risk of fraud and political corruption if financial controls and anti-fraud are not well-established and enforced;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | boycotts and embargoes that may be imposed by the international community on countries in which we operate;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requirements imposed by local governments that we use local suppliers or subcontractors, which may not be able to perform as required;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | labor unrest, particularly in Nigeria and Angola where our large workforces are prone to strike action;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | disruptions due to civil war, terrorist activities, piracy, election outcomes, shortage of commodities, power interruptions or inflation;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the imposition of unexpected taxes or other payments on our revenues in these markets; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the introduction of exchange controls and other restrictions by foreign governments.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unanticipated political events or social disturbances in developing or less developed countries, including labor unrest or terrorist activities, could
cause cost overruns on projects for which we are not reimbursed or delays in execution of projects which lead to delayed revenues or potential contractual penalties.

Additionally, to the extent a project is delayed or becomes more costly in a manner that we cannot recover, there would be an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Political
or social instability could also inhibit offshore exploration or capital expenditures by our clients. Such instability could result in fewer new project tenders meeting our criteria thereby reducing growth opportunities for our business.

Our results may fluctuate due to adverse weather conditions.

A substantial portion of our net operating revenues is generated from work performed in the North Sea. In fiscal year 2007, 34% of our revenues were
generated from work performed in this region (2006: 39%, 2005: 38%). Adverse weather conditions during the winter months in this region usually result in low levels of offshore activity. Further, around offshore West Africa, where we also generate a
significant portion of revenue, accounting for approximately 53% in fiscal year 2007 (2006: 48%, 2005: 48%) optimal weather conditions exist from October to April. Most offshore West Africa operations are scheduled for that period. Additionally,
during certain periods of the year, we may encounter adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes or tropical storms. During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we continue to incur operating expenses, but our revenues
from operations are delayed or reduced.

We face competition that could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial
condition.

The offshore oil and gas services business is highly competitive, and offshore contractors compete intensely for
available projects. Contracts for our services are generally awarded on a competitive bid basis, and although



9

##### Table of Contents

clients may consider, among other things, the availability and capability of equipment and the reputation and experience of the contractor, price is a
primary factor in determining which contractor is awarded a contract. This intense competition could result in pricing pressures, lower sales and reduced margins that would have an adverse effect on our operating results, cash flows and financial
condition.

We depend on certain significant clients and long-term contracts and the loss of one or more significant clients or the
failure to replace or enter into new long-term contracts could adversely affect our operating results.

In fiscal year 2007, BP Plc.
(BP) accounted for approximately 24% of our net operating revenue from continuing operations, with ExxonMobil and Statoil ASA (Statoil) accounting for a further 12% and 9%, respectively. In fiscal year 2006, ExxonMobil
accounted for approximately 23% of our net operating revenue from continuing operations, with Statoil and BP accounting for a further 17% and 15%, respectively. In fiscal year 2005, Statoil accounted for approximately 20% of our net operating
revenue from continuing operations, with BP and Total Fina Elf (Total) accounting for a further 15% and 14%, respectively. Our ten largest clients during fiscal year 2007 accounted for approximately 81% (2006: 83%) of our net operating
revenue from continuing operations, and during those three fiscal years six clients, Total, Statoil, Petróleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras), ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and BP consistently numbered among our ten largest clients.
Revenues from our largest clients are often related to specific long-term contracts that, upon completion, may not be replaced by contracts of equivalent size. Revenue from continuing operations that was derived from long-term contracts was
approximately 96% in fiscal year 2007 (2006: 94%). Our inability to replace significant long-term projects on similar terms or the loss of any one or more of our significant clients or a substantial decrease in demand by our significant clients
could result in a substantial loss of revenues which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

We could be adversely affected if we fail to keep pace with the technological changes, and changes in technology could result in write-downs of assets.

Our clients are seeking to develop oil and gas fields in increasingly deeper waters. To meet our clients needs, we must continuously develop new,
and update existing technology for the installation, repair and maintenance of offshore structures. In addition, rapid and frequent technology and market demand changes can render existing technologies obsolete, requiring substantial new capital
expenditures and write-downs of assets. Any failure by us to anticipate or to respond adequately and timely to changing technology, market demands and client requirements could adversely affect our business and financial results.

If we are unable to attract and retain skilled workers in a competitive environment, our business will be adversely affected.

We require highly skilled personnel to operate and provide technical services and support for our business. Competition for skilled personnel and other
labor required to support tender activities and project execution has intensified due to increased demand for these services during fiscal year 2007, leading to a general scarcity of human resources in our industry. Failure to attract or retain such
qualified personnel could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We may experience
constraints in our supply chain due to the increased current and planned expenditure increases by clients in our industry.

Current
market conditions, including current and planned capital expenditure increases by our clients, have triggered capacity constraints in the material, equipment and sub-contracted construction supply chains, in particular continued increases in the
price of raw materials and equipment, stretched construction and installation capacity and longer equipment delivery lead times are creating additional project execution risks. These supply chain bottlenecks could negatively affect our results of
operations.

Our international operations expose us to the risk of fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

The revenue and costs of operations and financial position of many of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are measured initially in the local
currencies of countries in which those subsidiaries reside. That financial information is then translated into U.S. dollars (our reporting currency) at the applicable exchange rates for inclusion in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In fiscal
year 2007, approximately 71% of our net operating revenue from continuing operations was generated in local currencies and translated into U.S. dollars (2006: 45%). In fiscal year 2007, approximately 27% of our net operating revenue from continuing
operations was generated in Euros, 14% in British pounds sterling and 20% in Norwegian kroners. In fiscal year 2006, the corresponding percentages were 16%, 14% and 12%, respectively. The exchange rate between these currencies and the U.S. dollar
may fluctuate substantially, which could have a significant translation effect on our reported consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In addition, we are subject to currency risk exposure when our revenue is denominated in currencies that are different from those in which our expenses are incurred. In this case, if the value of the currency in which
our revenue is recorded weakens relative to the currency in which we incur expenses, then there is an adverse impact on our profit margin. We attempt to manage our foreign currency exchange exposure by using derivative instruments to hedge revenue
or expenditure that is not in the functional currency of a given subsidiary. However, we cannot eliminate such exposure and, therefore, currency exchange rate movements and volatility can have a material adverse impact on our financial position.

We are exposed to substantial hazards, risks and delays that are inherent in the offshore services business for which liabilities
may potentially exceed our insurance coverage and contractual indemnity provisions.

Our operations are subject to all the risks
normally associated with offshore construction and services and could result in injury or death to personnel or third parties, damage to or loss of property and/or suspension of operations. The Groups operations are conducted in hazardous
environments where accidents involving catastrophic damage or loss of life could result, and such an event may result in our being named a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims. The Group insures for liability arising from our operations,
both onshore and offshore, including death or injury to employees or third parties, loss of or damage to third-party property and pollution. All such insurance is carried at levels of coverage and deductibles that we consider financially prudent,
although there can be no assurance that the amount of insurance we carry is sufficient to protect us fully in all events. A successful liability claim for which we are underinsured or uninsured could have a material adverse effect on us.

We generally seek to obtain indemnity agreements from our clients requiring them to hold us harmless in the event of damage to existing facilities,
loss of production or liability for pollution. Such contractual indemnification, however, does not generally cover liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or violation of law by, our employees or subcontractors.
Additionally, if we suffer a loss for which we are entitled to indemnity, we are dependent on our clients ability to satisfy its indemnity obligation. If the client cannot satisfy its obligation, we could suffer losses.

Our reputation and our ability to do business may be impaired by corrupt behavior by any of our employees or agents or those of our subsidiaries.

We and our affiliates operate in countries known to experience governmental corruption. While we and our subsidiaries are committed
to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner, there is a risk that our employees or agents may take actions that violate either the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or legislation promulgated pursuant to the 1997 OECD Convention on
Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions or other applicable anti-corruption regulations. These actions could result in monetary penalties against us or our subsidiaries and could damage our reputation
and, therefore, our ability to do business.

##### Table of Contents

In addition to the risks that arise in countries that have experienced governmental corruption, there is
also a risk that we will not be able to ensure that our internal control policies and procedures will protect us from fraud or other criminal acts committed by our employees. In fiscal year 2004, the Audit Committee noted a lack of formality in our
anti-fraud program, which we have addressed by, among other things, appointing a Head of Compliance and introducing programs designed to enhance awareness of whistle blowing procedures. Despite taking these measures, our management determined as of
November 30, 2005 that the lack of formality in our antifraud program constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The Group took additional steps in fiscal year 2006 and management believes that
this material weakness has been remediated; however, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, there can be no assurance that all instances of fraud will be or have been detected.

Financial Risks

Our use of the
percentage-of-completion method for accounting for projects could result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits.

Substantially all of our projects are accounted for on the percentage-of-completion method, which is standard for our industry and in compliance with the relevant accounting standards. Under the
percentage-of-completion method, estimated contract revenues are accrued based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs, taking into account the level of physical completion. Estimated contract losses are recognized in
full when determined. Contract revenues and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically as work progresses and as variation orders are approved, and adjustments based on the percentage of completion are reflected in contract revenues
in the reporting period when these estimates are revised. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported contract revenues, we would recognize a charge against current earnings that may be
significant depending on the size of the project or the adjustment.

If we are not able to make reasonably dependable estimates, we
would not be able to use the percentage-of-completion method for accounting for long-term contracts.

Revisions to
estimates on major projects from continuing operations had a positive impact in fiscal year 2007 of $127.9 million (2006: positive impact of $74.2 million, 2005: positive impact of $60.3 million) and an adverse impact of $10.1 million (2006:
negative impact of $18.7 million, 2005: negative impact of $15.4 million). Under the relevant accounting standards the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long-term contracts can be used as long as we can make reasonably dependable
estimates of progress toward completion of such contracts, of contract revenues and contract costs. If we were not able to make reasonably dependable estimates, we would be obliged to use the zero-estimate-of-profit method or the
completed contract method. Under the zero-estimate-of-profit method, we would not recognize any profit before a contract is completed. Under the completed contract method, all costs, revenues and profits are accumulated in balance sheet
accounts until project completion. In order to centralize our expertise on making estimates of contract revenues and contract costs, we have established a separate estimating department in Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, as this is the segment with
the most significant long-term contracts. If, despite these measures, we experience adverse developments in our long-term contracts, we may not be able to establish that we can develop reasonably dependable estimates of our progress toward
completion of such contracts, contract revenues and contract costs. If we are unable to continue to use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, our earnings may be materially adversely impacted, resulting in, among other things, a
potential default under the $400 million amended and restated revolving credit and guarantee facility.

Our ability to service
indebtedness and fund our operations depends on cash flows from our subsidiaries.

As a holding company, our principal assets
consist of our direct or indirect shareholdings in our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our ability to make required payments of interest and principal on our indebtedness and funding of our operations is affected by the ability of our operating
subsidiaries, our principal source of cash flow, to



12

##### Table of Contents

transfer available cash to us. The inter-company transfer of funds and repatriation of profit or capital (by way of dividends, inter-company loans or
otherwise) may be restricted or prohibited by legal requirements applicable to the respective subsidiaries and their directors, especially in the event that our liquidity or financial position is uncertain. In addition, such repatriation of profits,
capital or funds could be subject to tax at various levels within our corporate structure and, depending on where tax is payable, our effective rate may be adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to a significant number of tax regimes, and changes in the legislation governing the rules implementing them or the
regulator enforcing them in any one of these countries could negatively and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our
operations are carried out in several countries across the world, through branches and subsidiaries and our tax filings are therefore subject to the jurisdiction of a significant number of tax authorities and tax regimes, as well as cross-border tax
treaties between governments. Furthermore, the offshore mobile nature of our operations means that we routinely have to deal with complex domestic and international tax issues as well as competing and developing tax systems where tax treaties may
not exist or where the legislative framework is unclear. In addition, our international operations (such as transfer pricing, permanent establishment or similar issues) are taxed on different bases that vary from country to country, including net
profit, deemed net profit (generally based on turnover) and revenue-based withholding taxes based on turnover.

We determine our tax
provision based on our interpretation of enacted local tax laws and existing practices and use assumptions regarding the tax deductibility of items and recognition of revenue. Changes in these assumptions and practices could impact the amount of
income taxes that we provide for in any given year and could negatively and adversely affect the result of our operations.

Our tax
liabilities could increase as a result of changes in the Luxembourg tax regime.

The Luxembourg Holding Company Law of 1929 defines
holding companies as companies established in Luxembourg that solely exercise certain activities, such as investment in equity and debt securities and grant of financial assistance under certain conditions, with respect to companies in which they
hold investments. These holding companies, of which we are one, are exempt from Luxembourgs corporate taxes on earnings, including dividends, interest and royalties as well as on payments, including dividends and royalties.

As a result of the European Commissions conclusion that the special tax status described above constitutes a disguised subsidy, this special tax
status will terminate on January 1, 2011 and we will become subject to Luxembourgs ordinary tax regime, if we were to maintain our status and present structure as a Luxembourg company. This would increase our tax liabilities compared to
our current exempt status.

In light of the changes to the Luxembourg tax regime, we are evaluating corporate structuring alternatives to
maximize the efficiency of our corporate structure and holdings. However, there can be no guarantee that such alternatives will be as beneficial, or more beneficial from a tax perspective than our current corporate structure. We may also not pursue
any such alternatives.

Our tax liabilities could increase as a result of changes in the UK Tonnage Tax regime.

Our UK ship owning subsidiaries are currently taxed within the UK tonnage tax regime. A key feature of this regime is that the commercial profits from
the ship operations qualifying as tonnage tax activities are adjusted by reference to a formula linked to the tonnage of the vessels before being taxed at the UK statutory tax rate. This has resulted in a lower tax charge than would have been
accrued had we not elected to join the UK tonnage tax regime.

On January 23, 2008, the UK government announced its intention to
change the UK tonnage tax legislation with effect from April 1, 2008 following discussions with the European Commission regarding the interpretation of the guidelines on state aid.



13

##### Table of Contents

We are currently evaluating the impact of this proposed legislation and the subsequent announcement made
on March 6, 2008 withdrawing the technical note containing this proposed legislation. However, if the UK government proceeds as announced on January 23, 2008, it is expected that the legislation would exclude the vessels owned by our UK
subsidiaries, from the UK tonnage tax regime which could lead to an increase in our future tax charge. We also continue to explore alternative ship owning structures, but there can be no assurance that such alternatives will be as beneficial from a
tax perspective as under the current UK tonnage tax regime. We may also not pursue any such alternatives.

Our tax liabilities could
increase as a result of adverse tax audits, enquiries or settlements

We are either currently under audit, enquiry or investigation,
or we may be subject to future audits, enquiries or investigations, in a number of jurisdictions in which we operate.

In accordance with
applicable accounting rules relating to contingencies, we provide taxes for the amounts that we consider probable of being payable as a result of these audits and for which a reasonable estimate may be made. We also separately consider if taxes
payable in relation to filings not yet subject to audit may be higher than the amounts stated in our filed tax return, and make additional provisions for probable risks if appropriate. As forecasting the ultimate outcome includes some uncertainty,
there is a risk that adjustments will be recognized to our tax provisions in later years as and when these and other matters are finalized with the appropriate tax authorities.

In fiscal year 2007, we accrued a net tax charge of $49 million (excluding interest which was reflected as an interest expense) in respect of
(i) our ongoing tax audits ($26 million) and (ii) the review of uncertain tax positions undertaken in the year ($23 million). In accordance with the provisions of FAS 109(9)(e), an additional amount of $10.8 million in respect of tax on
intra-Group transfers of assets was deferred as a prepayment in the balance sheet. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could result in tax charges that are materially higher or lower than the amount we have provided.

In fiscal year 2007, our operations in various countries were subject to enquiries, audits and disputes, including but not limited to
those in France, Netherlands, UK, the United States, Norway, Indonesia and Congo. These audits are all at various stages of completion. The incremental adjustment arising from these tax investigations was an additional provision of $36.8 million
(2006: $0.5 million) including penalties but excluding interest. In accordance with the provisions of FAS 109(9)(e), of the incremental provision of $36.8 million, an amount of $10.8 million (tax and penalties) relating to intercompany transfers of
depreciable assets, has been recorded in prepaid expenses in our consolidated balance sheet and not charged to the consolidated statement of operations. Under FAS 109(9)(e), these prepaid expenses will be amortized to the consolidated statement of
operations over the useful life of the underlying assets. This incremental provision arises from both adjustments that we have agreed with the relevant tax authorities and changes that we have made to the amount probable of being paid in two
countries, the Netherlands and France. Our operating entities in these countries have co-operated fully with the relevant tax authorities while seeking to robustly defend their tax positions. The audit in the Netherlands was resolved in fiscal year
2007 and covered the fiscal years from 2000 to 2004. The audit in France, which commenced in February 2007, has continued into fiscal year 2008. The tax audit in France involves several legal entities and initially covered the fiscal years from 2004
to 2006. However, the audit scope has effectively been extended to fiscal year 2000 by way of a challenge to our utilization of losses brought forward. In addition, the French tax authorities have adopted a very wide ranging approach and have raised
a number of challenges including both international tax issues such as transfer pricing and territoriality as well as more routine domestic French matters.

This has created added complexity and uncertainty, and has caused management to reassess its estimate of the eventual probable outcome and increase its pre-existing provision for French taxes. It may be necessary to
defend our tax filings in court if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached with the French tax authorities.

In addition to the tax audit noted above, in October 2007, the French tax authorities also conducted a
formal search of our French subsidiarys offices in Paris. The documents authorizing the search claim that we had inaccurately reported to the French tax authorities the extent of our activities and revenues in France in an effort to minimize
French taxes. We will defend our tax positions and have appealed the authorization to search to the French Supreme Court.

During 2007, in
preparation for the possible adoption of FIN 48 next year, management also completed a detailed review of uncertain tax positions across the Group. Although we do not now have to adopt FIN 48 because of our transition from U.S. GAAP to International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with effect from December 1, 2007, the information gathered during this review was used in quantifying the best estimate of the probable liability accrued under SFAS No. 5 Accounting for
Contingencies as at November 30, 2007. The principal risks identified during this review were issues that arise in respect of permanent establishment, transfer pricing and other similar international tax issues. In common with other
international groups, the conflict between the Groups global operating model and the jurisdictional approach of taxing authorities often leads to uncertainty on tax positions. Based on this review, management has revised its estimate of the
most probable liability and has accrued additional taxes of $23 million excluding interest. In addition to those liabilities deemed probable, we also identified other uncertain tax positions which are considered less than probable but more than
remote. Currently no provision is carried for these additional risk items.

In the UK, an enquiry was started with respect to our UK ship
owning companies and the amount of profits allocated to transport activities and therefore eligible for tonnage tax treatment. Under the UK tonnage tax regime the commercial profits of our UK ship owning companies arising from transport operations
(allocated on a just and reasonable basis) are subject to tax calculated by reference to a formula linked to the tonnage of the vessels concerned. The enquiry covers fiscal year 2003 but is expected to extend into later fiscal years during the
course of fiscal year 2008. While we consider it possible that a liability will arise, currently no provision has been accrued for this risk. We cannot reasonably estimate the risk at this stage and the eventual resolution and quantification of this
contingency will be influenced by the recently announced changes to the UK tonnage tax regime. The cumulative benefit for all fiscal years to November 30, 2007 arising from being within the UK tonnage tax regime since fiscal year 2002 is $11.6
million, excluding the total release of the deferred tax liability on ships of $36 million in the fiscal years ended November 30, 2001 and 2002. Had we not been (wholly or partially) within the UK tonnage tax regime, it is likely that
additional accelerated capital allowances would have been available on fixed asset additions to reduce the immediate cash tax cost of any successful challenge by the UK tax authorities. However this would have increased our total deferred tax
liability.

For more information about these proceedings, please refer to Note 12 Income tax to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Although we believe that we are adequately reserved for the associated liabilities, if a tax authority seek to impose
assessments or require payments in excess of the amounts we currently expect to pay and we are unsuccessful in challenging these assessments or demands, we could be required to record additional liabilities that could be material to our cash flows
and results of operations.

Our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting may identify material
weaknesses in the future and may result in an attestation with an adverse opinion from our independent auditors, which could reduce confidence in our financial statements and negatively affect the price of our securities.

We are required by the SEC, as directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to include a report by our management on our internal
control over financial reporting in our annual reports on Form 20-F that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent auditors must attest to and report on
managements assessment of that effectiveness. These requirements have been included in this annual report on Form 20-F. As at November 30, 2007, we believe that we maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting. However,
there can be no assurance that in future periods there will be no material weaknesses identified.

Risks Relating to Our Shares

Our Articles of Incorporation impose restrictions on the ownership of our shares.

Our
Articles of Incorporation provide that in recognition of the fact that certain shareholdings may threaten us with imminent and grave damage (as defined in our Articles of Incorporation), which term we understand is likely to include
adverse tax consequences, a hostile takeover attempt or adverse governmental sanctions, (i) no U.S. Person (as defined in our Articles of Incorporation) shall own, directly or indirectly, more than 9.9% of our outstanding shares, (ii) all
shareholders of any single country may not own, directly or indirectly, more than 49.9% of our outstanding shares, and (iii) no person may own, directly or indirectly, more than 20.0% of our outstanding shares unless a majority of the Board of
Directors shall have authorized such shareholding in advance. The Board of Directors may take remedial action if it determines that we are threatened with imminent and grave damage. The Group has been advised by our Luxembourg counsel,
Elvinger, Hoss & Prussen, that there are no Luxembourg judicial interpretations of such phrase, but those situations involving hostile takeovers, adverse tax consequences to us or governmental sanctions are likely to be among the situations
covered by that phrase. These defensive measures may have the effect of making a merger involving us, or a tender offer, or an open-market purchase program or other purchase of our shares more difficult, in circumstances that could give shareholders
the opportunity to realize a premium over the then prevailing market price for their shares.



|Item 4. | Information on the Company.
|------- | ---------------------------

Overview

We are one of the largest seabed-to-surface engineering and construction contractors in the world in
terms of revenues. The Group designs, procures, builds, installs and services a range of surface and subsurface infrastructures for the global offshore oil and gas industry. The Group specializes in creating and applying innovative and efficient
solutions in response to the technical complexities faced by offshore oil and gas companies as they explore and develop production fields in increasingly deeper water and more demanding offshore environments.

We provide services and products that add value for our clients throughout the entire life cycle of offshore oil and gas field exploration, development
and production. When a field is being developed, we apply our technical expertise and knowledge of regional conditions to offer conceptual and engineering designs for the field. The Group also procures or fabricates and installs equipment used in
field development. This equipment includes the above-water topsides and platforms used for processing recovered oil and gas, pipelines and electrical and hydraulic cables (umbilicals) that are used to control subsea wells. We install
pipelines used to transport oil and gas underwater as well as to the production and processing facilities at the surface. These may be steel pipes, referred to as rigid pipes, or of an unbonded steel and thermoplastic structure, referred to as
flexible pipes, depending on technical requirements, and may have a small diameter (flowlines), a medium diameter (exportlines), or a large diameter (trunklines), depending on function, production volumes and
pressure. During the time that a field is producing oil or gas, we inspect, maintain and repair the equipment. Once the field has been depleted and is to be abandoned, we provide field decommissioning services which include the removal of offshore
structures and equipment.

Our operations are managed geographically through five regions around the world. As of November 30, 2007,
we employed approximately 878 engineering staff in project management and various engineering disciplines worldwide.

The Group operates a
fleet of highly specialized ships, barges and unmanned underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), deployed in the worlds major offshore oil and gas exploration regions. Our key assets, as at April 30, 2008, include:



| |  |  | 3 subsea construction ships;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | 7 flexible pipelay ships;
| | - |  | -------------------------

| |  |  | 39 work class and observation ROVs.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------

We have operated in more than 73 countries worldwide and, as at November 30, 2007, were operating in 19 countries.

Our net
operating revenues from continuing operations for fiscal year 2007 were $2.7 billion (2006: $2.1 billion), and our backlog on November 30, 2007 was $3.2 billion (2006: $2.6 billion). Of the November 30, 2007 backlog amount, we expect that
approximately $2.2 billion will be recognized as revenue in fiscal year 2008 and approximately $1.0 billion will be included in later years. Although our backlog represents business that we believe to be firm, these figures are subject to change due
to factors outside our control. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsOperational RisksThere might be delays or cancellation of projects included in our backlog and Item 5. Operating and Financial
Review and ProspectsOutlook.

History and Development of Acergy

Acergy S.A. is organized as a Société Anonyme
Holding under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The Company was incorporated in Luxembourg in 1993 as the holding company for all of our activities. Our registered office is located at 26, rue Louvigny, Luxembourg, and we are
registered in the Companies Registrar of Luxembourg under the number B43172. Our agent for U.S. federal securities law purposes is Acergy U.S. Inc., 10787 Clay Road, Houston, Texas 77041. Our principal executive offices are c/o Acergy M.S.
Limited., 200 Hammersmith Road, Hammersmith, London, W6 7DL England), telephone number (+44) (0)20 8210 5500. Our website address is www.acergy-group.com. The information on our website is not part of, or incorporated by reference into, this
Report.

A publicly traded company since May 1993, we were established through the merger of the businesses of two leading diving support
services companies, Comex Services S.A. and Stolt-Nielsen Seaway A/S, which were acquired by Stolt-Nielsen S.A. (SNSA) in separate transactions in 1992. At the time of acquisition, Comex Services S.A. was a leading worldwide subsea
services contractor, which pioneered deepwater saturation diving and subsea construction using both manned and unmanned techniques. Stolt-Nielsen Seaway A/S operated principally in the North Sea and pioneered the development and use of specially
designed, technologically sophisticated diving support ships and ROVs to support operations in hostile deepwater environments.

In August
1998, we acquired the Houston-based Ceanic, a publicly traded subsea contractor, for approximately $219 million. Ceanic provided a range of subsea services and products to the offshore oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico and inland underwater
services to domestic public and private clients. With this acquisition we acquired a substantial fleet of ships, mostly designed for shallow water work, ROVs and other related technologies, most of which were sold to Cal Dive on October 31,
2005, as described below.

On December 7, 1999, we completed a transaction to form a joint venture entity, NKT Flexibles, a
manufacturer of flexible flowlines and risers for the offshore oil and gas industry. The Group owns 49% of NKT Flexibles, and the remaining 51% is owned by NKT Holdings A/S. The total consideration for our share in the joint venture was $36.0
million, funded partly by cash and partly by the issuance of Class A Shares subsequently converted into common shares on a one-for-one basis. This investment secured our supply of flexible pipeline products. During fiscal years 2003 and 2004,
we contributed a further $17.5 million of capital and continued to provide financial support in the form of loans.

On December 16, 1999, we acquired the French offshore construction and engineering company ETPM S.A.
(ETPM) from Groupe Vinci S.A. The total consideration for this acquisition, including debt assumed, was approximately $350 million, funded partly by cash and partly by issuance of 6.1 million common shares. ETPM had a significant
market position in West Africa (now part of Acergy Africa and Mediterranean), which today is one of the fastest growing markets for our services. As part of the financing for the ETPM acquisition, in February and May 2000, we issued a total of
19.7 million Class A Shares to SNSA for approximately $200 million. Our Class A Shares have since been converted to common shares on a one-for-one basis.

On July 18, 2001, we acquired the Paris-based engineering company Paragon Litwin. On September 4, 2001, we acquired a controlling interest in the Houston-based engineering company, Paragon Engineering
Services, Inc. The consideration paid for these two acquisitions was $16.7 million, including deferred consideration. The purpose of these acquisitions was to add conceptual design and detailed engineering skills as a stand-alone resource for us.
Subsequently, we sold Paragon Litwin and Paragon Italia S.r.L. on June 9, 2004 to Bateman Oil & Gas BV (Bateman) for a loss of $0.9 million, while on January 19, 2005, we sold Paragon Engineering Services, Inc. to AMEC
plc for approximately $15 million after deducting proceeds attributable to minority shareholders, and yielding a gain on sale of $2.1 million. After the sales we retained approximately 100 engineers to perform the engineering services previously
provided to us by Paragon Litwin, Paragon Italia S.r.L. and Paragon Engineering Services, Inc. (collectively referred to as the Paragon Companies).

In August 2002, we sold the assets of Big Inch Marine Systems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary located in Houston, Texas, specializing in the design and manufacture of connection flanges for large diameter subsea
pipelines. This disposal realized $23.5 million of proceeds, and resulted in a gain on sale of $8.0 million.

On February 20, 2004, we
and Sonacergy, our joint venture with Sonangol in which we have a 55% interest (Sonacergy), sold our ROV drill support businesses, consisting of a fleet of 44 ROVs and certain ancillary equipment, together with related contracts and
employees, for approximately $48 million to Oceaneering International, Inc. Our share of net proceeds was $25.3 million in cash, after deducting proceeds due to the Sonacergy joint venture partner, Sonangol, and transaction costs. We recorded a gain
of $2.0 million on disposal in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004.

On May 29, 2004, we sold the wholly owned welding services
subsidiary Serimer DASA to Serimer Holdings SAS, for $38.2 million, which yielded a gain on disposal of $26.1 million.

On January 13,
2005, SNSA sold the 79,414,260 common shares it previously held in us. As a result, to our knowledge, SNSA no longer owns any of our shares.

On April 12, 2005, we announced that we had entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell Acergy North America and Mexicos shallow water Inspection, Maintenance and Repair assets to Cal Dive for $122.9 million in cash. The
sale closed on a sequential basis. We sold seven ships and the shore support bases and equipment to Cal Dive on October 31, 2005 for a total of $42.5 million in cash, resulting in a gain of $27.1 million. The Group sold the derrick lay-barge
DLB 801 on January 9, 2006 for cash proceeds of $40.5 million resulting in a gain of $16.4 million. The Group completed the sale of the reel pipelay ship Seaway Kestrel on March 15, 2006, following completion of its work
program, realizing cash proceeds of $39.9 million, resulting in a gain of $18.7 million.

On August 30, 2005, we announced the
formation of a joint venture (SapuraAcergy) with SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad (SapuraCrest Petroleum), a Malaysian oil service company, to build and operate a heavy construction ship named Sapura 3000. We also entered into a
number of ship lease agreements signed during 2005, notably the Polar Queen in June 2005, the CS Pertinacia in October 2005, and a new Survey ship in November 2005.

On January 19, 2006, we announced the launch of the Acergy name and brand. On April 3, 2006, shareholders approved the name change to Acergy S.A., which became effective on April 10, 2006.

On November 24, 2006, we sold the non-core shallow water diving business Stolt Comex Seaway Nigeria
Limited and two vessels American Pride and American Independence to Hydrodive Nigeria Limited for cash proceeds of $5.5 million, resulting in a gain of $4.6 million.

In the second and third quarters of 2007, we sold to Cal Dive the non-core shallow water and diving assets previously used for projects executed in
Indonesia for cash proceeds of $16.7 million, resulting in a gain of $12.5 million.

On April 4, 2007 we established the joint venture
Global Oceon Engineers Nigeria Limited (Oceon) with Petrolog Engineering Services Limited, an established Nigerian contractor, with the purpose of providing engineering support for future shallow and deepwater projects for execution in
Nigeria.

On November 29, 2007, we established a joint venture with Havila Shipping ASA (Acergy Havila Limited), to build
and operate a state-of-the-art diving support ship, Acergy Havila, which is expected to be delivered in fiscal year 2010.

Service Capabilities

The classification of our service capabilities is as follows:



| |  |  | Subsea construction, Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SURF): This comprises the engineering, procurement and construction work relating
to oil and gas fields that are developed subsea (in which the production wellhead is on the seabed), as opposed to surface installations (in which the production wellhead is above the surface on a platform). This includes large multi-year projects
encompassing pipelay, riser and umbilical activities of a complete field development, tieback projects, which involve pipelaying, umbilical installation and, in some cases, trenching or ploughing, to connect a new or additional subsea development to
an existing production facility. The installation of jumpers and spool pieces, as well as hyperbaric welding, are also typical SURF activities. This category also includes construction and diving support ship charters and rental of equipment
including construction support ROVs. The proportion of SURF activities in relation to our total net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 was approximately 72% (2006: 64%; 2005: 53%).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Conventional: This comprises engineering, construction, installation and refurbishment activities relating to shallow water platforms attached to the
seabed and their associated pipelines. Conventional projects involve shallow water activities and proven technology, typically under long-term contracts. Conventional activities include design, construction and installation of fixed platforms. This
category also includes survey/IMR ship charters and equipment rental in relation to Conventional activities. The proportion of Conventional activities in relation to our total net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 was
approximately 13% (2006: 18%; 2005: 26%).
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR): This comprises, among other things, platform surveys, debris removal and pipeline inspections
using divers and/or ROVs on producing oil and gas field infrastructure, as a regular activity throughout the life of the offshore field. IMR activities are conducted both under long-term frame agreements with clients and also in the spot market.
This category also includes ship charters and equipment rental relating to IMR activities. The proportion of IMR activities in relation to our total net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 was approximately 3% (2006: 6%;
2005: 7%).
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trunklines: This comprises offshore installation of large-diameter pipelines used to carry oil or gas over long distances. Trunkline projects
typically are based on large contracts, utilizing the Acergy Piper pipelay barge. The proportion of Trunkline activities in relation to our total net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 was approximately 10% (2006: 9%;
2005: 11%).
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Survey: This comprises support for both external clients and internal projects in the fields of construction support, pipeline inspection and seabed
mapping using specialized survey ships and Survey ROVs. The construction support activities include, among other things, pre-lay, as-laid and as-trenched
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | surveys, spool metrology, deepwater positioning and light installation works. Platform inspection is performed both underwater and on top-sides (Rope
Access). The proportion of Survey activities in relation to our total net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 was approximately 2% (2006: 3%; 2005: 2%).
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Corporate: This comprises all activities that serve more than one segment including the joint ventures: NKT Flexibles, SHL, and assets that have
global mobility including construction and flowline lay support ships, ROVs and other mobile assets that are not allocated to any one segment. It also includes management of offshore personnel, captive insurance activities and management and
corporate services provided for the benefit of all our businesses. The proportion of Corporate activities in relation to our total net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 was nil% (2006: nil%; 2005: 1%).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We also provide field decommissioning services at the end of the working life of an offshore oilfield, although no
material revenues were generated from these activities during any of the periods presented.

Business Segments

Our operations are managed through five geographical segments. In addition, our Corporate
segment manages activities that serve more than one segment, as described in more detail below. The chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer of Acergy S.A. He is assisted by the Chief Operating Officer of Acergy S.A. and for
each segment our Chief Executive Officer is supported by a Vice President who is responsible for managing all aspects of the projects within the relevant segment, from initial tender to completion. Each segment is accountable for income and losses
for such projects. One segment may provide support to other segments; examples are the Mexilhao project where Acergy Northern Europe and Canada provides support to Acergy South America and the PRA-1 project where Acergy North America and Mexico
provides support to Acergy South America.

We have business segments based on the geographic distribution of our activities as follows:

Acergy Africa and Mediterranean

This segment includes all activities in Africa and Mediterranean and has its offices in Suresnes, France, Cairo, Egypt, Lagos, Nigeria, Madeira Island, Portugal, Port Gentil and Tchengue, Gabon and operates fabrication yards in Nigeria and
Angola.

##### Table of Contents

Acergy Corporate

This segment includes all activities that serve more than one segment and includes: assets which have global mobility including construction and flowline lay support ships, ROVs and other mobile assets that are not
allocated to any one segment; management of offshore personnel; captive insurance activities; management and corporate services provided for the benefit of all of our businesses; NKT Flexibles, a joint venture that manufactures flexible pipeline and
risers; and SHL, a joint venture with a subsidiary of the Russian Oil Company Lukoil-Kaliningradmorneft plc, which operates the heavy lift ship Stanislav Yudin.

Acergy Corporate also included the results of Paragon Engineering Services, Inc. up until the date of its disposal to AMEC plc effective January 19, 2005.

Acergy Africa and Mediterranean

This segment
comprises all activities within the Africa and Mediterranean region. It operates fabrication yards in Nigeria and Angola and manages project specific joint ventures such as Mar Profundo Girassol (MPG), now completed and in the process of
liquidation, and the Dalia Floating Production and Storage Offloading (FPSO) facility, which is close to completion. During fiscal year 2007, we established a Nigerian joint venture, Oceon, with Petrolog Engineering Services Limited, an
established Nigerian contractor. The purpose of Oceon is to provide engineering support for future shallow and deepwater projects to be executed in Nigeria, and therefore strengthen Acergy Africa and Mediterraneans presence in the country. For
fiscal year 2007 Acergy Africa and Mediterraneans net operating revenue of $1,398.4 million was 52.6% of our total net operating revenue and an increase of $352.9 million compared to $1,045.5 million in fiscal year 2006. This increase was
primarily driven by the Greater Plutonio project, the largest contract executed by us to date. This project successfully executed an extensive offshore installation program during the fiscal year. SURF projects, such as Greater Plutonio, Moho
Bilondo and Kizomba C Mondo, contributed $916.9 million and Conventional projects such as EPC2B and OSO, generated $178.0 million of net operating revenue in fiscal year 2007. The increased SURF revenue reflected our increased focus on the SURF
market which delivered additional new work. Projects conducted by our Sonamet/Sonacergy joint venture, in which we have a 55% interest, reported $140.4 million of net operating revenue, an increase of $34.0 million compared to $106.4 million in
fiscal year 2006 primarily due to the Mafumeira project.

Acergy Northern Europe and Canada

This segment includes all activities in Northern Europe, Eastern Canada and Azerbaijan and manages the Acergy/Subsea 7 project-specific joint venture
operations. In fiscal year 2007, we entered into a $180 million agreement with Havila Shipping ASA for a new build diving support ship for Northern Europe and Canada which we expect will join the fleet in fiscal year 2010. The ship will be a
state-of-the-art diving support ship and will be specifically designed for efficient diving operations in the harshest environments. The ship Acergy Havila will be owned by Acergy Havila Limited, a joint venture where we will have a 50%
ownership. We will operate the ship for a firm period of ten years.

In fiscal year 2007, the Group signed a new lease agreement with
Volstad Shipping AS for a five year charter of the new build ship Acergy Merlinfor the IMR and Survey market. The ship is expected to join our fleet in the beginning of fiscal year 2009 and commence working on Survey projects. Survey
activities include support for both external clients and internal projects in the fields of construction support, pipeline inspection and seabed mapping using specialized Survey ships and Survey ROVs as further described in Note 20
Segment and related information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In fiscal year 2006, we signed a new lease agreement
with DOFCON ASA for an eight year charter of the Skandi Acergy commencing in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 to work on SURF projects in the Northern Europe and Canada region. Also in 2008, we will move our Aberdeen offices to a new
site, which will be leased.

This segments net operating revenue in fiscal year 2007 of $907.8 million accounted for 34.1% of
our total net operating revenue from continuing operations and increased by $80.6 million compared to $827.2 million in fiscal year 2006. The increase was mainly due to higher SURF activities which reported $589.1 million in fiscal year 2007, an
increase of $64.8 million as compared to $524.3 million in fiscal year 2006, generated from numerous projects such as CNR Frame Agreement, Njord Gas Export, Starling, Volund, Shell Hot Tap and Tordis IOR. Additionally, increased Trunkline activities
contributed to an improvement of $20.2 million in net operating revenue, generated from offshore execution of the Eldfisk and Tyrihans Development projects. This segment experienced a slower growth of its net operating revenue compared to the growth
between fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2005. This was primarily due to fewer available ships as the majority of our ships were deployed to other segments.

Acergy North America and Mexico

This segment includes activities in the United States of America, Mexico, Central
America and Western Canada and provides project management support for major projects executed in South America.

In fiscal year 2005 a
strategic decision was made to reorient Acergy North America and Mexico toward deepwater SURF work and the Conventional and shallow water IMR assets classified as discontinued operations were sold to Cal Dive.

This segments net operating revenue from continuing operations was $3.2 million in fiscal year 2007, a decrease of $34.8 million as compared to
$38.0 million in fiscal year 2006 due to lack of ship availability. During fiscal year 2006 Acergy Hawk was utilized on the Matterhorn project, which generated the majority of the net operating revenue. Acergy Hawk was deployed to
other segments during fiscal year 2007.

Acergy South America

This segment includes all activities in South America and the islands of the southern Atlantic Ocean.

Acergy South Americas net operating revenue for fiscal year 2007 of $247.9 million represented 9.3% of our total net operating revenue from continuing operations and was an increase of $165.3 million as compared to $82.6 million in
fiscal year 2006. The increase was attributable to the SURF projects PRA-1 and Frade which contributed $102.7 million compared to $17.3 million in fiscal year 2006. In addition the commencement of the engineering and procurement phase of Mexilhao,
the first Trunkline project for the region, and the start of the six year day-rate contract with Pertinacia, contributed significantly to the 200.1% increase in net operating revenue year-on-year.

Acergy Asia and Middle East

This segment
includes all activities in Asia Pacific, India and Middle East (but excludes the Caspian Sea) and includes the Malaysian joint venture SapuraAcergy with SapuraCrest Petroleum. Its office in Balikpapan has been recorded as being held for sale.

In line with our strategy to focus our business on developing globally our deepwater SURF capabilities, we sold during fiscal year 2007
our non-core shallow water and diving assets previously used for projects executed in Indonesia for cash proceeds of $16.7 million.

Toisa Proteus, which is on a three year charter from the Toisa/Sealion Group of companies, joined the fleet at the end of second quarter in fiscal year 2007. The ship completed its conversion program during third quarter, and
commenced working for the segments projects. In addition, Sapura 3000, a new build ship within the SapuraAcergy joint venture, has been converted during fiscal year 2007, and will commence working for the Kikeh project during first
quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Capital Expenditures and Divestitures

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 was $245.8 million (2006: $193.2 million, 2005: $77.3
million), most of which were made within the context of our ongoing fleet rejuvenation program. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $nil for discontinued operations in fiscal year 2007 (2006: $nil, 2005: $4.0 million).

The table below sets forth information with respect to our principal capital expenditures for fixed assets in each of the last three
fiscal years. The ongoing capital expenditures will be funded with cash from operations and additional funds drawn on our existing credit facilities.

Marketing and Tendering

Marketing of our services is performed through our regional offices. The Groups
marketing strategy is focused on ensuring that we are invited to bid on all projects that are consistent with our strategy, and where we have a competitive advantage on the basis of our ships, our fabrication capacity, our engineering excellence or
our technological specialization. We use our industry know-how and relationships with our clients to ensure we are aware of all projects in our markets that fit these criteria.

Most of our work is obtained through a competitive tendering process. When a target project is identified by our marketing team, the decision to prepare
and submit a competitive bid is taken by management in accordance with delegated authority limits. Cost estimates are prepared on the basis of a detailed standard costing manual, and the selling price and contract terms are based on our commercial
standards and market conditions. Before the tender package is submitted to the client, it is subject to the detailed review described below.



| |  |  | Formal review process: The Group has a disciplined approach to the tender review process. All tender proposals are required to provide a uniform set of
operational, financial and legal information, in order to ensure a consistent review process across our organization. Tender candidates that lack the appropriate information are not considered for review.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Management accountability: Tenders are first reviewed at the regional level where the technical, operational, legal and financial aspects of the proposal are
considered in detail. Completion of the regional review process requires the formal approval of the vice-president of the region, followed by a detailed review by our corporate tender review board, which is composed of a cross-functional team of
senior level managers. With respect to large tenders (i.e. with a value between $10 million and $60 million), approval from the Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Vice President for business development is required. Tenders with values greater
than $60 million require the further approval of the Chief Executive Officer. Tenders in excess of $250 million require a further review by the Board of Directors.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Risk management: The Group performs a formal risk assessment of each project for which we intend to submit a tender. The assessment consists of a legal risk
assessment that compares the contractual terms and conditions of the proposed tender to our standard terms and conditions. We seek to quantify the financial impact of any deviation from our standard terms and conditions and propose a risk mitigation
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | plan for each such tender. In addition, we conduct an operational risk assessment that analyzes factors such as the impact of weather, supplier delays,
strikes, and other factors to quantify the potential financial impact of such events.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The implementation of our
tendering policies has resulted in the information contained in tender review packages being uniform across our organization, allowing us to weigh the risks and benefits of tendering for various projects. A larger proportion of tenders are reviewed
centrally by corporate management and we continue to place great emphasis on our standard contractual terms and conditions. With these policies in place, we devote significant management time to the tendering process and are selective with respect
to the initiation of new projects.

Our policy is not to undertake variations to work scope without prior agreement of scope, schedule and
price. A tender board appointed to supervise each tender can decide whether or not to deviate from this policy, but deviations without written scope from the client are not common. It is customary that, where a variation to the project scope or
specifications is required, we continue to execute the project to completion, although we may not have precise agreement with our client on the financial responsibilities of all parties. We often try to resolve these later by negotiating claims and
variation orders.

Clients

In fiscal year 2007, the Group had 44 clients worldwide, of which 16 were major national and
international oil and gas companies. The level of construction services required by any particular client depends on the size of that clients capital expenditure budget devoted to construction plans in a particular year. Consequently, clients
that account for a significant portion of contract revenue in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of contract revenue in subsequent fiscal years. In fiscal year 2007, BP, ExxonMobil, and Statoil accounted for 24%, 12% and 9% of our
net operating revenue from continuing operations, respectively. In fiscal year 2006, ExxonMobil, Statoil and BP accounted for 23%, 17% and 15% of our net revenue from continuing operations, respectively. During fiscal years 2007 and 2006, our ten
largest clients accounted for 81% and 83%, respectively, of our net operating revenue from continuing operations, and over that period six clients, Total, Statoil, Petrobras, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and BP consistently numbered among our ten
largest clients. Our business typically involves a relatively concentrated number of significant projects in any year. Consequently, we expect that a limited number of clients will account for significant portions of our revenues in any year.

Competition

Although the offshore contracting business remains highly competitive, the last two years have
seen an increase in demand for our services, though the process of awarding a number of major projects has been delayed, particularly in West Africaprimarily due to uncertain political and economic conditions in the region. Clients still
consider, among other things, the availability and technical capabilities of equipment and personnel, efficiency, condition of equipment, safety record and reputation, and while price competition is the primary factor in determining which qualified
contractor with available equipment will be awarded a contract, the issue of security of supply now features more in our client buying patterns than in the past. Although conditions are improving, it is still a challenge to secure the right work at
the right price and with the right terms and conditions. Our ships are specialized and have few alternative uses and, because of their nature and the environment in which they work, have relatively high support costs whether or not operating.
Because these costs are essentially fixed, and in order to avoid additional expenses associated with temporarily idle ships, we may still, from time to time, choose to bid our ships in projects at lower margins depending on the prevailing
contractual rates in a given region.

We consider ourselves one of only four global companies, including Saipem, S.A. (Saipem),
Technip S.A. (Technip), and Subsea 7, capable of providing a wide range of offshore services on a worldwide basis in the major offshore oil and gas producing regions. Competition in the SURF market comprises eight main



26

##### Table of Contents

competitors besides us: Saipem, Technip, Subsea 7, Helix Energy Solution Group Inc, Allseas Marine Contractors, Global Industries, Ltd., Seastream and
Heerema Marine Contractors. The Group faces strong competition from these offshore contractors. The Group also faces competition from smaller regional competitors and less integrated providers of offshore services. Of increasing concern to us is the
fact that a number of contractors as well as pure ship owners have placed orders for additional ships capable of working in the SURF market, which might cause an excess of the supply side and the demand for services like ours may decrease or be
adversely affected. Therefore we expect that the increase in demand will be met quickly by new ships being deployed in the future. In addition, all companies today are facing a scarcity of human resources to support tender activities and project
execution.

Seasonality

A significant portion of our revenue is generated from work performed in the North Sea. Adverse
weather conditions during the winter months in this region usually result in low levels of activity, although this is less apparent than in the past due to technological advances. Further, around offshore West Africa, where we also generate a
significant portion of our revenue, optimal weather conditions exist from October to April, and most offshore operations are scheduled for that period. Therefore full-year results are not likely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or
combination of quarters. Additionally, during certain periods of the year, we may be affected by delays caused by adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes or tropical storms. During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather
conditions, we continue to incur operating expenses, but our revenues from operations are only recognized in line with the percentage-of-completion method.

Supplies and Raw Materials

We generally do not manufacture the components used in the offshore services that
we provide, but rather procure and install equipment manufactured or fabricated by others. The Group fabricates structures using components and equipment we procure, and this work is performed at our onshore fabrication yards located in Lobito
(Angola) and Warri (Nigeria).

The procurement of goods and services represents a significant proportion of our annual operating costs and
it has a direct impact on our overall financial performance. When procuring supplies and raw materials our goal is therefore to take the following principles into consideration:



| |  |  | In placing a commitment with a supplier or subcontractor, we try to secure the best commercial and operational arrangement, taking into account risks, such as
technical, quality, health, safety and environmental management, reliability, lead times and confidence of supply.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We operate as one organization and leverage, whenever we can, our combined knowledge, relationships, networks and our buying power.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The procurement process is executed in accordance with our policies and procedures and adheres to our Code of Business Conduct.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We actively develop and manage relationships with our suppliers and subcontractors. We believe that strong relationships with our vendors are necessary to gain a
competitive advantage as well as ensuring that their delivery goals are aligned with the needs of our business.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intellectual Property

We hold a number of patents, trademarks, software and other intellectual property to
support our engineering and operational activities. As of April 30, 2008, we had 86 patents in force in 20 countries, and we currently have a portfolio of 113 additional developments under patent application. A limited number of our patents are
held in common with other industrial partners. We also conduct some of our operations under licensing agreements allowing us to make use of specific techniques or equipment patented by third parties. However, the Group does not consider that any one
patent or technology represents a significant percentage of net operating revenue.

##### Table of Contents

Our research and development programs have concentrated on the requirements of our clients, who are
constantly seeking to develop oil and gas reserves in deeper waters, and on increasing the efficiency of our offshore equipment and operations. We have research and development programs aimed at developing new technologies and extending existing
technologies for the installation, repair and maintenance of offshore structures, particularly underwater pipelines and risers. Our research and development activities are typically carried out internally using both dedicated research personnel and
as part of specific offshore construction projects. Where appropriate, external research and development is performed either through strategic technological alliances or via joint industry collaborative projects. Our expenditures on group-sponsored
research and development, excluding programs undertaken as part of specific offshore construction projects were approximately $4.2 million in fiscal year 2007 (2006: $3.1 million, 2005: $1.7 million).

Other Matters

Health, Safety, Environmental and Security Management

We conduct business in accordance with a well-defined set of processes, which comply with the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of
Ships and for Pollution Prevention. Our Health, Safety, Environmental and Security philosophy is based on the international standards of OHSAS 18001 for occupational health and safety, ISO 14001 for environmental management and international best
practice, government and industry standards for security. This Management System is supported by managements commitment, personal accountability, training, fairness and the measurement and analysis of performance measures. The
Management System is designed to ensure that our employees and everyone we work with or impact remains safe and healthy, that we effectively manage our environmental aspects and limit the damage to or loss of property and equipment. Each of our
managers is responsible for taking the necessary steps to create and maintain a culture of continuous improvement.

Our Management System
also provides the necessary instructions, procedures and guidelines encompassing all areas of our operations so that we can assure the quality of our services to our clients. We maintain a stringent quality assurance program throughout our
organization in accordance with ISO 9001, an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization to certify quality assurance systems. We have introduced the Total Acergy Quality Leadership initiative to further
drive the total quality management process across our organization Each of our segments has dedicated professional health, safety, environmental and quality assurance staff, who are responsible for overseeing and supporting the projects in that
particular segment.

Risks and Insurance

The Groups operations are subject to all the risks normally associated with offshore development and operations and could result in damage to or loss of property, suspension of operations or injury or death to employees or third
parties. We believe we insure our assets at appropriate levels, subject to appropriate self-insured deductibles. Such assets include all capital items such as ships, major equipment and land-based property. The determination of the appropriate level
of insurance coverage is made on an individual asset basis taking into account several factors, including the age, market value, cash flow value and replacement value of the asset in hand.

The Groups operations are conducted in hazardous environments where accidents involving catastrophic damage or loss of life could result, and
litigation arising from such an event may result in us being named a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims. We insure ourselves for liability arising from our operations, both onshore and offshore, including loss of or damage to third-party
property, death or injury to employees and/or third parties, statutory workers compensation protection and pollution. However, there can be no assurance that the amount of insurance we carry is sufficient to protect us fully in all events and
a successful liability claim for which we are under-insured or uninsured could have a material adverse effect on us. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsOperational RisksWe are exposed to substantial hazards, risks
and delays that are inherent in the offshore services business for which liabilities may potentially exceed our insurance coverage and contractual indemnity provisions.

Government Regulations

Our business is subject to international conventions and governmental regulations that strictly regulate various aspects of our operations. The maritime laws and the health and safety regulations of the jurisdictions
in which we operate govern our operations in these areas. Our system of management policies and procedures, which describes all our business processes, is designed to meet best practice and covers all legislative requirements in the jurisdictions in
which we operate. In addition, we closely follow the guidelines set by the International Marine Contractor Association.

Our operations in
the United Kingdom are subject to a variety of employee and European Union safety laws. The Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974, and regulations made thereunder, mandate general requirements for safe workplaces for all employees. Similar
regulations apply in other countries in which we operate.

In the United States, we are subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast
Guard, the National Transportation Safety Board and the U.S. Customs Service, as well as private industry organizations such as the American Bureau of Shipping. The U.S. Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board set safety standards
and are authorized to investigate ship accidents and recommend improved safety standards. The U.S. Customs Service is authorized to inspect ships at will. The exploration and development of oil and gas properties located on the Outer Continental
Shelf of the United States is regulated by the Minerals Management Service. Our U.S. operations are also affected by numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to safety and health of employees and protection of the environment
including the Occupational Safety & Health Act of 1970, the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act of 1976, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and the Oil Pollution Act of
1990.

In Norwegian waters, in addition to international standards, we are subject to the rules and regulations of the Norwegian Marine
Directorate and in certain circumstances to the rules and regulations of the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. Any deviation from a particular regulation or requirement requires an exemption that must be applied for beforehand.

The International Maritime Organization has made the regulations of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code mandatory. The ISM Code
provides an international standard for the safe management and operation of ships, pollution prevention and certain crew and ship or barge certifications. We believe that we are in compliance with these standards to the extent they are applicable to
our operations.

Compliance with current health, environmental, safety and other laws and regulations is a normal part of our business.
These laws change frequently and, as a normal part of our business, we incur costs to maintain compliance with such laws. Although these costs have not had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations in recent years, there
can be no assurance that they will not have such an impact in the future. Moreover, although it is our objective to maintain compliance with all such laws and regulations applicable to us, there can be no assurance that we will avoid material costs,
liabilities and penalties imposed as a result of governmental regulation in the future.

In addition, we are required by various
governmental and other regulatory agencies, including the agencies referred to above, to obtain certain permits, licenses and certificates with respect to our equipment and operations. The kind of permits, licenses and certificates required in our
operations depends upon a number of factors but are normally of a type required of all operators in a given jurisdiction. We believe that we have or can readily obtain all permits, licenses and certificates necessary to conduct our operations. Some
countries require that we enter into joint venture or similar business arrangements with local individuals or businesses in order to conduct business in such countries.

Our operations are affected from time to time and to varying degrees by political developments and federal and local laws and regulations. In particular, oil and gas production operations and economics are affected by

##### Table of Contents

price control, tax and other laws relating to the petroleum industry, by changes in such laws and by constantly changing administrative regulations. Such
developments directly or indirectly may affect our operations and those of our clients.

We conduct business in certain countries known to
experience governmental corruption. Although we are committed to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner in compliance with local and international statutory requirements and standards applicable to our business, there is a risk that our
employees or representatives may take actions that violate either the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or legislation promulgated pursuant to the 1997 OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business
Transactions or other applicable laws and regulations. Such violations could result in monetary or other penalties against us or our subsidiaries and could damage our reputation and, therefore, our ability to do business. See Item 3. Risk
factorsOperational RisksOur reputation and our ability to do business may be impaired by corrupt behavior by any of our employees or agents or those of our subsidiaries.

Inspection by a Classification Society and Dry-docking

The hull and machinery of most of our ships must be classed by a classification society authorized by its country of registry. The classification society certifies that the ship is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the
classification rules as well as with applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the ship and the international conventions of which that country is a member. Those of our ships that are not required to be classed comply with
applicable regulations.

Each classed ship is inspected by a surveyor of the classification society. A visual inspection is carried out
annually to ascertain the general condition of the ship or relevant items. Intermediate surveys are carried out at the second or third annual survey. This intermediate survey includes a visual inspection of the hull structure, machinery and
electrical installations and equipment. Renewal surveys, which involve a major inspection of the hull structure, machinery installations and equipment, are carried out at five-year intervals. A classed ship is also required to be dry-docked at least
once every five years for inspection of the underwater parts of the ship. As a general policy, we dry-dock our classed ships for intermediate inspection every 30 months. Should any non-compliance be found, the classification society surveyor will
issue its report as to appropriate repairs, which must be made by the ship owner within the time limit prescribed. Insurance underwriters make it a condition of insurance coverage that a classed ship is in class, and all of our ships
currently meet that condition.

Overview

The Group

The Group is a seabed-to-surface engineering and construction contractor for the offshore oil and gas industry worldwide. We plan, design and deliver complex, integrated projects in harsh and challenging environments.

Net income and Results

The
business strategy we implemented in 2003 to turn the Group around has continued to deliver strong operational results in terms of revenue and margin growth for fiscal year 2007. Operational performance however has been tempered by a provision for
re-estimated prior period taxes and a higher than expected effective tax rate.

Continuing Operations

Fiscal year 2007 was a year of continuing operational success building on the improvements experienced in fiscal year 2006. Our net operating revenue
increased to $2,663.4 million in fiscal year 2007, an improvement of $539.2 million or 25% compared to $2,124.2 million in fiscal year 2006, reflecting execution of our increasing backlog. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher
activity in SURF, up $548.9 million, or 40% over fiscal year 2006.

Net Income before income taxes from continuing operations in fiscal
year 2007 increased to $347.6 million, an improvement of $53.1 million or 18% compared to $294.5 million in fiscal year 2006. Overall operational performance remained strong due to improved on-going contract management and successful project
execution, with the exception of the Mexilhao Trunkline project managed jointly by Acergy South America and Acergy Northern Europe and Canada, which incurred local contractor cost overruns. The solid operational performance was partially offset by a
reduction in net income contributed from our joint venture operations. It also included an aggregate positive impact of $127.9 million attributable to variation orders, claims and other changes in estimates on major projects and a gain on the
disposal of long-lived tangible assets and subsidiaries of $12.2 million.

Net Income from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 saw a
33% reduction to $147.7 million compared to $220.9 million in fiscal year 2006. The reduction includes the impact of a full year tax charge of $199.9 million. The increased tax charge reflected a $49 million provision for re-estimated prior period
taxes and a high effective rate of tax on current activities, principally in Acergy Africa and Mediterranean where net income fell 53% compared to fiscal year 2006. The charge for prior period taxes relates to ongoing tax audits and enquires in a
number of jurisdictions and our internal reassessment of uncertain tax positions. See Note 12 Income tax to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of November 30, 2007 our backlog for execution in fiscal year 2008 comprised of 74% SURF projects including Block 15, Tombua Landana and Kizomba C Saxi Batuque offshore Angola, Pertinacia (long-term day
rate contract) and Frade offshore Brazil and Volund offshore Norway. Net operating revenue and backlog continued to reflect high levels of SURF work, thus in line with our 2003 commitment to re-focus the Group on this activity.

Net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year 2006 was $2,124.2 million, an increase of $640.9 million or 43%, compared to net
operating revenue of $1,483.3 million in fiscal year 2005 mainly attributable to SURF activity experiencing a 73% growth over fiscal year 2005.

Net income from continuing operations in fiscal year 2006 of $220.9 million was an increase of $114.5 million compared to $106.4 million in fiscal year 2005 due to an overall result of favorable contract settlements

and improved contract management on new projects. The increase also included an aggregate positive impact of $74.2 million attributable to variation orders,
claims and other changes in estimates on major projects, a charge of $2.1 million for impairment of long-lived tangible assets, a gain on the disposal of long-lived tangible assets and subsidiaries of $3.9 million.

Discontinued Operations

Following
the decision in fiscal year 2005 to re-focus Acergy North America and Mexico operations on SURF activities, and the sale of IMR and Conventional assets to Cal Dive in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 our discontinued operations ended in fiscal year 2007.

Discontinued operations in Acergy North America and Mexico for fiscal year 2007 generated $16.9 million of net operating revenue and $5.9
million of net income. Net income comprised $5.9 million of gains in relation to execution of work in Trinidad and Tobago.

Discontinued
operations in Acergy North America and Mexico for fiscal year 2006 generated $66.6 million of net operating revenue and $15.8 million of net income. Net income comprised $19.3 million of losses in relation to execution of work in Trinidad and Tobago
and a $35.1 million gain on the sale of DLB 801 and Seaway Kestrel to Cal Dive.

Net income from discontinued operations in
Acergy North America and Mexico for fiscal year 2005 was $33.1 million, made up of $6.0 million generated by hurricanes Rita and Katrina repair work and a $27.1 million gain on disposal of the segments shallow water operations to Cal Dive.

Investment

To develop
SURF activity in our business, and add capability, capacity and flexibility, we launched in fiscal year 2005 an asset upgrade and rejuvenation program. In 2008 this program will result in the delivery of the new build Sapura 3000, Acergy
Viking and Skandi Acergy ships. In the beginning of fiscal year 2009, the new build ship Acergy Merlin is expected to be delivered. In addition, in fiscal year 2007 a new joint venture with Acergy Havila Limited was set up to
construct a state-of-the-art dive support ship. Delivery is expected in 2010.

Financial Strategy

Strong global energy demand together with limited excess oil and gas production capacity
and correspondingly high commodity prices have driven a sustained improvement in the oil and gas service sector. We therefore expect a steady growth in the core markets in which we operate.

We believe that our fiscal year 2007 financial results and the expected market outlook for the medium term in our sector will provide our business with
opportunities to grow. Our focus in fiscal year 2007 was to continue to implement a structured control environment and to develop our capital structure so as to ensure our financial strategy was fully aligned with our business strategy. Our focus in
2008 will be to expand on this concept through the review of our corporate and entity structure.

Structured Control Environment

Our management has provided its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as at November 30, 2007,
pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. This assessment is based on the criteria for internal controls over financial reporting described in the Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

##### Table of Contents

Management is of the opinion that, as of November 30, 2007 our internal control over financial
reporting was effective based on those criteria. Disclosure relating to our internal control over financial reporting, managements report on internal control over financial reporting, as well as an attestation report from our independent
registered public accounting firm is included in this Report. The Group intends to maintain our focus on improving the control environment within the business and we consider it to be a key pillar contributing to an appropriate financial strategy.

Developing our Capital Structure

A key consideration in our financial strategy was an assessment and development of an appropriate balance sheet. Given our long-term investment horizon but more limited revenue horizon it is appropriate that if leverage is to be introduced
it is done so in a controlled and well measured fashion. In this regard, the Board of Directors has approved a policy based on the level of debt and the ability to service debt as key measures for considering investment opportunities.

On August 10, 2006, we completed a substantial amendment of the existing syndicated bank facilities held with a core group of eight banks,
increasing the committed amount from $350 million to $400 million. The amendments include market standard terms, improved pricing and an extended maturity. It also simplified the covenant structure, placed the facilities on an unsecured basis and
removed restrictions on other sources of indebtedness.

On October 11, 2006, we completed an offering of $500 million in aggregate
principal amount of convertible notes (convertible notes) due in 2013. The convertible notes are convertible into our common shares, have a fixed annual interest rate of 2.25% and an initial conversion price of $24.05 per common share,
representing a conversion premium of 43% to the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the volume weighted average share price during the marketing period of the convertible notes. The conversion price was subsequently revised to $23.80 on May 31, 2007,
following the payment of a dividend. The convertible notes are listed and traded on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The proceeds are being used to fund further upgrading and rejuvenation of our fleet, to provide a platform to support growth initiatives and to repurchase issued share capital in fiscal year 2008 for a maximum aggregate consideration of
$300 million in total. For more information regarding the Groups ongoing fleet rejuvenation, see Item 4. Information on the CompanyCapital Expenditures and DivestituresCapital Expenditures above. For more
information regarding the Groups share buyback program, see below under Returns to shareholders and Item 10. Additional InformationArticles of AssociationAuthority to Acquire Own Shares (Treasury
Shares) below.

Returns to Shareholders

Following the issuance of the convertible notes, we commenced our share repurchase program as announced on September 11, 2006 and have continued with this program through fiscal year 2007 and into fiscal year
2008 as part of our strategy to reshape our Group capital structure. As a result of this program and the payment during fiscal year 2007 of a dividend of 20 cents per share, we have returned $184.3 million or 5% of our total market capitalization as
calculated on November 30, 2006 in fiscal year 2007 compared to $16.5 million or 1% in fiscal year 2006.

In line with the results
published for fiscal year 2007 and for the second successive year, our Board of Directors has resolved to recommend the payment of a dividend during fiscal year 2008 of 21 cents a share, an increase of 1 cent per share or 5% compared to fiscal year
2007, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting. This reflects our continuing confidence in the future of our sector.

Corporate
and Entity Restructuring

We have commenced a review of our corporate and entity structure to ensure it is aligned with operational
management. The goal is to simplify our entity structure and processes, ensure effective control of financial risk

including the delivery of a market competitive effective tax rate and ensuring financial entity responsibility is aligned with operational responsibility.
Implementation of the review is expected to occur in fiscal year 2008.

Outlook

To take advantage of the currently favorable market conditions we have increased our asset upgrade
and rejuvenation program to expand our capabilities, capacity and flexibility. The Group has planned capital expenditure and equity investments for fiscal year 2008 of approximately $250 million, compared to $246 million in fiscal year 2007, of
which $120 million is expected to be allocated to maintenance of existing capacity levels and approximately $130 million to support growth initiatives.

As of November 30, 2007 our backlog for continuing operations was $3.2 billion, of which $2.2 billion is expected to be executed in fiscal year 2008. This compared to a backlog at November 30, 2006 of $2.6
billion, of which $1.7 billion was for fiscal year 2007.

We expect our net operating revenue from continuing operations in fiscal year
2008 to be approximately $3.0 billion generating margins at least as strong as fiscal year 2007 results with the focus on executing our projects in-hand, developing our engineering capabilities and investing in our workforce.

Critical Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 Accounting
policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are
based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management has identified the
following policies as critical because they may involve a high degree of judgment and complexity.

Project AccountingRevenue Recognition and
the Use of the Percentage-of-Completion Accounting Method

Substantially all of our projects are accounted for using the
percentage-of-completion method, which is standard for our industry. Under the percentage-of-completion method, estimated contract revenues are accrued based on the ratio of costs incurred to date, to the total estimated costs, taking into account
the level of physical completion. Estimated contract losses are recognized in full when determined. Contract revenues and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically as work progresses and as variation orders are approved. Adjustments
based on the percentage-of-completion method are reflected in contract revenues in the reporting period. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported contract revenues or costs, we recognize a
charge or credit against current earnings; amounts in prior periods are not restated. Such a charge may be significant depending on the size of the project or the adjustment. Additional information that enhances and refines the estimating process is
often obtained after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the financial statements. Such late information results in an adjustment of the financial statements unless the events occurring after the balance sheet date are outside the
normal exposure and risk aspects of the contract.

The percentage-of-completion method requires us to make reasonably dependable estimates
of progress toward completion of contracts and contract revenues and contract costs. The Group assesses business risks in a manner that allows us to evaluate the outcomes of our projects for purposes of making reasonably dependable estimates. Often
the outcome of a project is more favorable than originally expected, due to increase of scope or efficiencies achieved during execution. Nevertheless, our business risks have involved, and will continue to involve, unforeseen difficulties including
weather, economic instability, labor strikes, localized civil unrest, and engineering and logistical changes, particularly in major projects. We do not believe our business is subject to the



36

##### Table of Contents

types of inherent hazards, conditions or external factors that raise questions about contract estimates and about the ability of either the contractor or
client to perform its obligations as described in AICPA Statement of Position No. 81-1 Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, that would indicate that the use of the
percentage-of-completion method is not preferable.

If we were unable to make reasonably dependable estimates, we would be obliged to use
the zero-estimate-of-profit method or the completed-contract method. Under the zero-estimate-of-profit method, we would not recognize any profit before a contract is completed. Under the completed-contract method, all costs,
revenues and profits are accumulated in the balance sheet accounts until project completion. Under both of these methods, we would not recognize project profits until project completion, but would recognize a project loss as soon as the loss became
evident. If we are unable to continue to use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, our current earnings may be materially adversely impacted.

Project AccountingRevenue Recognition on Variation Orders and Claims

A major portion of our revenue is billed
under fixed-price contracts. Due to the nature of the services performed, variation orders and claims are commonly billed to clients in the normal course of business and are recognized as contract revenue where recovery is probable and can be
reasonably estimated. In situations where a variation order has been agreed as to scope but not price, the amount recognized as revenue is limited to the costs incurred unless realization of any excess above that amount is assured beyond a
reasonable doubt. In addition, some contracts contain incentive provisions based on performance in relation to established targets, which are recognized in the contract estimates when the targets are achieved.

As of November 30, 2007 $2.6 million (2006: $nil) of revenue relating to unagreed claims or disputed receivables was included in reported revenue
and receivables that has not been subsequently collected in full.

Long-lived Tangible Assets and Other Intangible Assets

This subject is included under Critical Accounting Policies due to the qualitative factors involved in determining fair values and preparing
cash flow projections for assets with impairment issues and because of the large net book value of such assets.

Long-lived tangible assets
are recorded at cost, and depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, except for ships, which are considered to have a residual value of 10% of the acquisition cost. Management uses its experience to
estimate the remaining useful life of an asset, particularly when it has been upgraded.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, long-lived tangible assets, and other intangible assets subject to amortization, are required to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposal. If the undiscounted future
cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset is deemed impaired. The amount of the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined either through
the use of an external valuation, or by means of an analysis of future cash flows on the basis of expected utilization and daily charge-out rates. Where cash flow forecasts are used, any impairment charge is measured by comparing the carrying value
of the asset against the net present value of future cash flows, discounted using our weighted average cost of capital.

Managements
judgment is required to determine the appropriate business assumptions to be used in forecasting future cash flows. When we record an impairment charge, this creates a new cost base for the assets that have been impaired. For a discussion on
specific impairment charges please refer to Consolidated ResultsContinuing OperationsImpairment of Long-lived Tangible Assets below.



37



---

##### Table of Contents

In addition, managements judgment is required in applying the criteria for classifying assets held
for sale as specified in paragraph 30 of SFAS No. 144. In particular, management is required to assess whether or not it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year, by carefully evaluating the status of negotiations with
potential purchasers of each business and asset. Assets held for sale are valued at the lower of carrying amount and fair value, less the cost to sell. Where fair value less costs to sell is lower than the cost, we record an impairment charge for
the difference.

Impairment of Investments in and Advances to Non-consolidated Joint Ventures

Investments in non-consolidated joint ventures are reviewed periodically to assess whether there is an other than temporary decline in the carrying value
of the investment. We consider, among other things, whether or not we are able to recover the carrying value of the investment and whether or not the investees ability to sustain an earnings capacity would justify the carrying value of the
investment. A provision is made against non-collectibility of loans and advances made to non-consolidated joint ventures when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement under
SFAS No. 114 Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.

Recognition of Provisions for Contingencies

We are subject to various claims, suits, enquiries, investigations and complaints involving, among other things, clients, subcontractors, employees, and
tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. Management in consultation with internal and external advisers, will provide for a contingent loss in the financial statements if information available prior to issuance of the financial statements
indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In accordance with SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies, as
interpreted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 14 Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss, if we have determined that the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and that there is no best estimate
within the range, we will provide for the lower amount of the range. The provision is subject to uncertainty and no assurance can be given that the amount provided in the financial statements is the amount that will be ultimately settled. If the
provision proves not to be sufficient, our results may be adversely affected. The notable legal claims made against us are discussed in Note 25 Commitments and contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements and are
summarized in Legal, Regulatory and Insurance Matters below.

Warranty costs for arising in relation to our long-term
contracts are provided if they qualify for recognition in accordance with SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies, as detailed above. At the conclusion of each project, an assessment is made of the areas where potential claims may
arise under the contract warranty clauses. Where a specific risk is identified and the potential for a claim is assessed as probable, an appropriate warranty provision is recorded. This judgment requires a high level of experience. Warranty
provisions are eliminated at the end of the warranty period except where warranty claims are still outstanding. There were no significant warranty provisions recorded as of November 30, 2007.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for
in accordance with SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized, based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and
liabilities and measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse. We determined deferred tax assets for each tax-paying entity or group of entities that are consolidated for tax
purposes. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe, based upon all available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized. In determining the valuation allowance, management considers
forecasts of future taxable income, the future reversals of existing temporary taxable differences and whether future tax benefits carried forward in tax returns will ultimately be permitted as tax deductible by the relevant taxing authority.
Ultimately

##### Table of Contents

we need to generate taxable income in the jurisdiction where we have deferred tax assets. As the estimates and judgments include some degree of uncertainty,
changes in the assumptions could require management to adjust valuation allowances.

We operate in many countries and are therefore subject
to the jurisdiction of numerous tax authorities, as well as cross-border tax treaties concluded between governments. Our operations in these countries are taxed on different bases: net profit, deemed profit (generally based on the turnover) and
withholding taxes based on turnover. We determine our tax provision based on our interpretation of enacted tax laws and existing practices, and use assumptions regarding the tax deductibility of items and the recognition of revenue. Changes in these
assumptions could have an impact on the amount of income taxes that we provide for in any given year.

In the normal course of our business
our tax filings become subject to enquiry and audit by the tax authorities in jurisdictions where we have operations. The enquiries may result in additional tax assessments, which we aim to resolve through an administrative process with tax
authorities and failing that through a judicial process. Forecasting the ultimate outcome includes significant uncertainty.

Management has
established internal procedures to regularly review the status of disputed tax assessments and other uncertain tax positions, and utilizes such information to determine the range of likely outcomes and establish tax provisions for the most probable
outcome. Notwithstanding this, the possibility exists that the amounts of taxes finally agreed could differ from that which has been accrued. In addition we have, under the guidance in SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies
provided for taxes in situations where tax assessments have not been received, but where it is probable that the tax ultimately payable will be in excess of that filed in tax returns. Such instances can arise where the auditors or representatives of
the local tax authorities disagree with our interpretation of the applicable taxation law and practice.

Refer Note 12 Income
tax to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details of all the factors that have been considered and evaluated in calculating the fiscal year 2007 income tax provision.

Accounting for Derivatives

Foreign exchange derivative instruments are designated as hedging
instruments under SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in procedurally defined circumstances where we both qualify for hedge accounting and where the potential benefits of application of hedge
accounting are believed to outweigh the related compliance cost. The use of cash flow hedge accounting under this standard requires gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of derivative contracts to be deferred in our financial
accounts until such time as the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. It also requires management to ensure that adequate documentation is in place at the inception of the hedging relationship to support its treatment as an effective hedge
for an underlying business transaction. The judgment of management is required to estimate the fair value of instruments that have no quoted market prices, and to forecast the probable date and value of the underlying hedged transaction.

Certain forward currency contracts entered into during fiscal year 2007 have been designated as accounting hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The impact of hedge accounting for such instruments is detailed in Note 26 Financial instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Employee Stock Plans

Share-based compensation
is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments (SFAS No.123(R)). Compensation expense is based on the fair value of an award at the date of grant and is recognized over the requisite
service period using the graded vesting attribution method. The determination of the grant date of all options is based on the date of approval by the Compensation Committee.

##### Table of Contents

Compensation expense is recognized for plans with performance conditions if achievement of those conditions is probable, and is charged using the graded
vesting attribution method, except for options granted under the Senior Management Incentive Plan (SMIP), which are charged on a straight-line basis.

In measuring the fair value of the awards, management is required to make a number of assumptions, the most significant of which are expected volatility and the expected life of the awards. Expected volatility is
determined based on the historical volatility of the market price of our ordinary shares over the expected life of the awards. Adjustments are made to the term of the options to estimate the expected term to reflect the effects of
non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations, where available based on historical experience of similar awards.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), stock options were accounted for by using the intrinsic-value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
(APB No. 25). Accordingly, compensation costs of stock options were measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of our stock at the measurement date over the option exercise price and were charged to operations over
the vesting period using the graded vesting attribution method. For plans where the measurement date occurred after the grant date, referred to as variable plans, compensation cost was prior to December 1, 2005 remeasured on the basis of the
current market value of our stock at the end of each reporting period for the periods prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). For all periods presented here compensation expense is recognized for variable plans with performance conditions if
achievement of those conditions becomes probable.

Factors Affecting Our Business Segment Results

Business Environment

The market for our services depends upon the success of exploration and the level of investment in offshore exploration and production by the major oil
companies. Such investment is cyclical in nature. Following a period of increasing oil prices in recent years, there has been a progressive increase in investment in offshore exploration and production by the major oil companies and we expect to see
a continued expansion of demand in fiscal year 2008 for our services. This trend is evident in the higher number of invitations to tender received by us, as well as the increasing level of our order backlog.

Seasonality

A significant portion of our
revenue is generated from work performed in the North Sea. Adverse weather conditions during the winter months in this region usually result in low levels of activity, although this is less apparent than in the past due to technological advances.
Further, around offshore West Africa, where we also generate a significant portion of our revenue, optimal weather conditions exist from October to April, and most offshore operations are scheduled for that period. Therefore full-year results are
not likely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or combination of quarters. Additionally, during certain periods of the year, we may be affected by delays caused by adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes or tropical storms.
During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we continue to incur operating expenses, but revenues from operations are only recognized in line with the percentage-of-completion method.

In fiscal year 2005, some flooding and wind damage was caused to our onshore facilities in the vicinity of New Orleans, Louisiana by hurricanes Rita and
Katrina, but we promptly rectified this and submitted claims for reimbursement from our insurers, which were received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Ship Utilization

The results are materially affected by our ability to optimize the utilization of our ships in order to earn revenues. The following table sets forth the average ship utilization by year for our fleet of dynamically
positioned deepwater and heavy construction ships, light construction and survey ships, and trunkline barges and anchor ships. The utilization rate is calculated by dividing the total number of days for which the ships were engaged in
project-related work by 350 days annually, expressed as a percentage. The remaining 15 days are attributable to routine maintenance.



|                                                                     |  |       |  |       |  |      
|-------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | ----- |  | ----- |  | -----
|Utilization Rate (excluding discontinued operations) For fiscal year |  | 2007% |  | 2006% |  | 2005%
|Deepwater and heavy construction ships                               |  | 86    |  | 89    |  | 79   
|Light construction and survey ships                                  |  | 96    |  | 90    |  | 86   
|Trunkline barges and anchor ships                                    |  | 67    |  | 73    |  | 63   

The overall level of ship utilization for fiscal year 2007 was slightly reduced compared to fiscal
year 2006.

The utilization of deepwater and heavy construction ships decreased in fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006.
Acergy Harrier, working on a long-term day rate contract in South America, had lower utilization in fiscal year 2007 due to thruster problems. Acergy Falcon also had less utilization mainly due to a scheduled dry-docking during the
first quarter. Acergy Discovery, however, achieved significantly higher utilization than the prior fiscal year as it was working on the PRA-1 project for most of the year. Acergy Osprey also had an increased utilization level, being
fully occupied on Acergy Northern Europe and Canada projects during fiscal year 2007.

Utilization of light construction and survey ships
increased in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006, mainly due to Acergy Legend being fully utilized on the Greater Plutonio project.

Compared to fiscal year 2006, the utilization of trunkline barges and anchor ships reduced in fiscal year 2007. Acergy Orion had lower utilization as a consequence of a scheduled dry-dock being performed during
the last quarter of fiscal year 2007. Acergy Piper completed the Eldfisk and Tyrihans Development projects during fiscal year 2007 with the utilization being lower than in fiscal year 2006 when the barge worked 185 days on the Langeled
project. The activity of the cargo barges were higher in fiscal year 2007 than that of fiscal year 2006, reflecting the high offshore activity levels in Acergy Africa and Mediterranean.

For fiscal year 2008 slightly lower utilization levels for the fleet are anticipated since several of the ships are due for scheduled dry-docking during
the year, including Acergy Polaris which is due for its 30 month class certification. The utilization for trunkline barges and anchor ships is anticipated to be reduced as Acergy Piper has less expected work for the next fiscal year.

Ship Scheduling

Performance
can be adversely affected by conflicts in the scheduled utilization of our key ships and barges. These can be caused by delays in releasing ships from projects due to additional client requirements, overruns and breakdowns. Conflicts can also arise
from commercial decisions concerning the utilization of assets after work has been tendered and contracted for. The requirement to substitute ships or barges can adversely affect the results of the projects concerned.

Maintenance and Reliability of Assets

The
successful execution of contracts requires a high degree of reliability of our ships, barges and equipment. Breakdowns not only add to the costs of executing a project, but they can also delay the completion of subsequent contracts which are
scheduled to utilize the same assets. The Group operates a scheduled maintenance program in order to keep all assets in good working order, but despite this, breakdowns can occur.

Revisions of Estimates on Major Projects

During the course of major projects, adjustments to the original estimates of the total contract revenue, total contract cost, or extent of progress
toward completion, are often required as the work progresses under the contract, and as experience is gained, even though in certain cases the scope of work required under the contract may not change. Where a change of scope is required, variation
orders are negotiated with the client. However, final agreement and settlement are often not achieved until late in the project. As discussed in Note 2 Accounting policiesRevenue recognition to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, these revisions to estimates will not result in restating amounts in previous periods, as they are continuous and characteristic of the process.

We revise estimates monthly on the basis of project status reports, which include an updated forecast of the cost to complete each project. Additional information that enhances and refines the estimation process is
often obtained after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the financial statements. Such information will be reflected in the financial statements, unless the events occurring after the balance sheet date are outside the normal exposure
and risk aspects of the contract.

The revision of estimates calculation is based on the difference between the current fiscal year and
prior fiscal year estimated gross margin at completion of the project multiplied by the prior fiscal year percentage of completion. If a project had not commenced at November 30, the previous fiscal year, the revision of estimates incurred for
this project during the current fiscal year, would not be included in the calculation for revision of estimates.

The impact of revisions
of project estimates at the gross profit level is as follows:



|                              |  |       |  |       |   |  |       |

|For fiscal year (in millions) |  | 2007$ |  | 2006$ |   |  | 2005% |  
|Continuing Operations         |  | 127.9 |  | 74.2  |   |  | 60.3  |  
|Discontinued Operations       |  | 10.1  |  | (18.7 | ) |  | (15.4 | )
|Total                         |  | 138.0 |  | 55.5  |   |  | 44.9  |  

There were improvements on a large number of projects, which were partially offset by negative
revisions to estimates in connection with other major projects. The most significant revisions were as follows:

Continuing Operations



| |  |  | $50.3 million of positive revisions were reported in fiscal year 2007 on the $558 million lump sum SURF project (the Greater Plutonio project)
offshore Angola (Acergy Africa and Mediterranean) executed for BP. The positive revisions were primarily due to settlement of variation orders and release of contingencies due to successful offshore operation near to completion. In fiscal year 2006
we recorded $11.3 million of negative revisions to the estimated costs on this project. The project as of November 30, 2007 was 96% complete (2006: 52%; 2005: 25%).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $13.7 million of positive revisions were reported mainly during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 on the $219 million lump sum Conventional project (the
EPC2B project) offshore Nigeria (Acergy Africa and Mediterranean) for ExxonMobil. The positive revisions primarily related to increased scope of work on hook-up and commissioning operations and release of contingency. Positive
revisions were recorded of $10.7 million in fiscal year 2006 on this project. The project as of November 30, 2007 was 91% complete (2006: 81%; 2005: 28%).

project) offshore Norway (Acergy Northern Europe and Canada) for Statoil. The deteriorations were recorded in the first and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2007 reflecting increased expenditures, due to various operational difficulties, mainly due to
under-estimating cost relating to removal of equipment and assets on sea-bed. The project as of November 30, 2007 was 100% complete (2006: 10%; 2005: nil%).

America and Mexico) for National Gas Company (the NGC-Bud project) within our discontinued operations. The positive revisions were recorded in second quarter of fiscal year 2007, and mainly related to settlement of a subcontractor
claim for a third party ship which had a major engine breakdown in third quarter of fiscal year 2006. The project recorded negative revisions of $16.3 million in fiscal year 2005 and $17.1 million in fiscal year 2006 due to significant operational
problems. The project as of November 30, 2007 was 100% complete (2006: 91%; 2005: 88%).

Exchange Rates

The financial results are reported in U.S. dollars. The Group has foreign currency denominated revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. As a consequence, movements in exchange rates can affect our profitability,
the comparability of our results between periods and the carrying value of our assets and liabilities. The Groups major foreign currency exposures are to the Euro, British pound sterling and Norwegian krone.

When the Group incurs expenses that are not denominated in the same currency as the related revenues, foreign exchange rate fluctuations can adversely
affect our profitability. With the exception of Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, and to a lesser extent Acergy Northern Europe and Canada, operating expenses are generally denominated in the same currency as associated revenues, thereby mitigating
the impact of exchange rate movements on operating income. Where revenues are in different currencies from the related expenditures, our policy is to use foreign exchange contracts to hedge the significant net external foreign exchange exposure. The
U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the most significant subsidiaries in Acergy North America and Mexico and Acergy South America and Acergy Asia and Middle East. In Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, the functional currencies primarily are the
Euro and U.S. dollar. In Acergy Northern Europe and Canada, the functional currencies are primarily the Norwegian krone, U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling. Exposure to currency rate fluctuations results from net investments in foreign
subsidiaries, primarily in the United Kingdom, Norway, France and Brazil. We are also exposed to fluctuations in several other currencies resulting from operating expenditures and significant one-off non-project related transactions such as capital
expenditures.

In addition, even where revenues and expenses are matched, we must translate non-U.S. dollar denominated results of
operations, assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars to prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements. To do so, balance sheet items are translated into U.S. dollars using the relevant exchange rate at the fiscal year end for assets and liabilities,
and income statement and cash flow items are translated using exchange rates which approximate the average exchange rate during the relevant period. Consequently, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies will
have an effect on our reported Consolidated Statements of Operations and the value of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets even if our results of operations or the value of those assets and liabilities have not changed in their
local functional currency.

The main foreign exchange exposures economically hedged during fiscal year 2007 were capital expenditures in
Acergy Corporate and Acergy South America, and revenues in Acergy Africa and Mediterranean (Greater Plutonio project), Acergy Northern Europe and Canada (Miskar) and Acergy South America (Frade). The impact of these hedges on current and future
results is detailed in Note 26 Financial instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The main foreign exchange
exposure economically hedged during fiscal year 2006 was capital expenditure in Acergy Northern Europe and Canada and Acergy South America which has been designated as cash flow hedges.

Impairment Charges

Impairment charges in respect of long-lived tangible assets were
recognized in fiscal year 2007 of $0.3 million. As discussed in Consolidated ResultsContinuing OperationsImpairment of Long-lived Tangible Assets below, the charges in fiscal years 2006 and 2005 were $2.1 million and
$7.1 million, respectively.

Our Business Segment Results

Operations are managed through five geographic segments as well as the Acergy
Corporate segment, through which we manage our activities that serve more than one segment, as described below. Our chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer of Acergy S.A. He is assisted by the Chief Operating Officer and for
each segment the Chief Executive Officer is supported by a Vice President who is responsible for managing all aspects of the projects within the segment, from initial tender to completion. Each segment is

This segment comprises all activities within the Africa and Mediterranean region. It operates fabrication yards in Nigeria
and Angola and manages project specific joint ventures such as MPG, now completed, and the FPSO facility, which is close to completion. During fiscal year 2007, a Nigerian joint venture, Oceon, was established with Petrolog Engineering Services
Limited, an established Nigerian contractor, as partner. The purpose of Oceon is to provide engineering support for future shallow and deepwater projects to be executed in Nigeria, and therefore strengthen Acergy Africa and Mediterraneans
presence in the country. The segments principal offices are based in Suresnes, France.

Net operating revenue from continuing
operations

For fiscal year 2007 Acergy Africa and Mediterraneans net operating revenue of $1,398.4 million was 52.6% of our total
net operating revenue and an increase of $352.9 million compared to $1,045.5 million in fiscal year 2006. This increase was primarily driven by the Greater Plutonio project, the largest contract executed by the Group to date. This project
successfully executed an extensive offshore installation program during the fiscal year. This project benefited by $50.3 million of positive revisions due to the settlement of claims and variation orders and the release of previous contingencies.
SURF projects, such as Greater Plutonio, Moho Bilondo and Kizomba C Mondo, contributed $916.9 million and Conventional projects such as EPC2B and OSO, generated $178.0 million of net operating revenue in fiscal year 2007. The increased SURF revenue
reflected our increased focus on the SURF market which delivered additional new work. Projects conducted by our Sonamet/Sonacergy joint venture, in which we have a 55% interest, reported $140.4 million of net operating revenue, an increase of $34.0
million compared to $106.4 million in fiscal year 2006 primarily due to the Mafumeira project.

This segments net operating revenue
for fiscal year 2006 was $1,045.5 million, an increased by $331.4 million from $714.1 million in fiscal year 2005. This improvement was driven by an increase in SURF projects and our successful and timely executions of projects Erha and EPC2B in
Nigeria. SURF projects, such as Erha, Greater Plutonio and Moho Bilondo, contributed $602.4 million and Conventional projects such as Amenam II and EPC2B, generated $246.3 million of net operating revenue in fiscal year 2006. Projects conducted by
our Sonamet/Sonacergy joint venture generated $106.4 million of net operating revenue, an increase of $38.5 million compared to $67.9 million in fiscal year 2005 primarily due to a rise in market demand for fabrication.

Operating expenses from continuing operations

This segments operating expenses in fiscal year 2007 were $1,071.0 million as compared to $827.9 million in fiscal year 2006 representing 50.4% of our total net operating expenses from continuing operations. The



45

##### Table of Contents

increase of $243.1 million reflected the increase in project activity during the fiscal year, offset by insurance settlements for Acergy Polaris. In
addition, higher utilization of assets have led to lower operating expenses; increased project activity leads to higher utilization of internal assets, which leads to increased contribution to the fixed cost base of the assets, hence reducing the
net operating expenses of the assets.

Acergy Africa and Mediterraneans operating expenses in fiscal year 2006 increased by $252.4
million to $827.9 million compared to $575.5 million in fiscal year 2005. This increase was primarily due to the increase in project activity discussed above and to the increase in steel and other commodities prices.

Income before income taxes from continuing operations

Acergy Africa and Mediterraneans income before income taxes in fiscal year 2007 was $194.0 million, an increase of $60.1 million or 44.9% compared to $133.9 million in fiscal year 2006. The main reason for the
improved result was strong performance of the segments projects, particularly for the Greater Plutonio project, where approval of variation orders significantly improved the result. In addition high utilization of assets, mainly of Acergy
Polaris improved the result. The result was adversely affected by additional professional fees in relation to the French tax audit, as referred to in Note 12 Income tax to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The segments income before income taxes in fiscal year 2006 of $133.9 million more than doubled compared to fiscal year 2005 reflecting the high
levels of activity experienced and good performance on EPC2B, Erha and Amenam II, which more than offset the deterioration in the results of Greater Plutonio due to increased cost of various operational expenses. The increase in the segments
net income before tax also reflected the improved contract management procedures we implemented in fiscal year 2005.

This segment includes all activities in Northern Europe, Eastern Canada and Azerbaijan and manages the
Acergy/Subsea 7 project-specific joint venture operations. Its offices are based in Aberdeen, UK; Stavanger, Norway; Moscow, Russia; and St Johns, Canada.

In fiscal year 2007 we entered into a $180 million agreement with Havila Shipping ASA for a new build diving support ship for Northern Europe and Canada which is expected to join the fleet in fiscal year 2010. The
ship will be a state-of-the-art diving support ship and will be specifically designed for efficient diving operations in the harshest environments. The ship Acergy Havila will be owned by Acergy Havila Limited, a joint venture where we will
have a 50% ownership. The ship will be operated by us for a firm period of ten years. This is part of our strategy to add more modern, efficient and competitive tonnage capacity to capitalize on the increasing demand in the segment.

In fiscal year 2007 we signed a new lease agreement with Volstad Shipping AS for a five year charter of the new build ship Acergy Merlin for the
IMR and Survey market. The ship is expected to join our fleet in the beginning of fiscal year 2009 and commence working on Survey projects. Survey activities include support for both external clients and internal projects in the fields of
construction support, pipeline inspection and seabed mapping using specialized Survey ships and Survey ROVs as further described in Note 20 Segment and related information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In fiscal year 2006 we signed a new lease agreement with DOFCON ASA for an eight year charter of the Skandi Acergy commencing in the third quarter
of fiscal year 2008 to work on SURF projects. Also in fiscal year 2006, we decided to move our Aberdeen offices in fiscal year 2008 to a new site, which will be leased.

Net operating revenue from continuing operations

This segments net operating revenue in fiscal
year 2007 of $907.8 million accounted for 34.1% of our total net operating revenue from continuing operations and increased by $80.6 million compared to $827.2 million in fiscal year 2006. The increase was mainly due to higher SURF activities which
reported $589.1 million in fiscal year 2007, an increase of $64.8 million as compared to $524.3 million in fiscal year 2006, generated from numerous projects such as CNR Frame Agreement, Njord Gas Export, Starling, Volund, Shell Hot Tap and Tordis
IOR. Additionally an improvement of $20.2 million in net operating revenue was contributed from increased Trunkline activities, generated from offshore execution of the Eldfisk and Tyrihans Development projects. This segment experienced a slower
growth of its net operating revenue compared to the growth between fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2005. This was primarily due to less available ships as the majority of our ships were deployed to other segments.

Acergy Northern Europe and Canadas net operating revenue increased by $248.2 million to $827.2 million in fiscal year 2006 compared to $579.0
million in fiscal year 2005. This increase was primarily driven by significantly higher SURF activities, $199.9 million increase from $524.3 million in fiscal year 2006 as compared to $324.4 million in fiscal year 2005, as a result of our strategic
decision to increase our focus on the SURF market which delivered additional work. In addition, the Trunkline project Langeled contributed significantly to the segments net operating revenue in fiscal year 2006.

Operating expenses from continuing operations

Acergy Northern Europe and Canadas operating expenses in fiscal year 2007 of $713.7 million represented 33.6% of our total operating expenses from continuing operations, an increase of $50.2 million compared to $663.5 million in
fiscal year 2006. The increase was mainly linked to high activity level for the segments project portfolio, but also more specifically to cost overruns caused by operational failures on Njord Gas Export and Tyrihans Development and significant
losses incurred on the Trunkline project Mexilhao, which were shared on an equal basis with Acergy South America. In addition, lower utilization of Acergy Piper compared to fiscal year 2006 led to lower contribution from projects to the
ships fixed cost base, hence increased operational expenses.

##### Table of Contents

This segments operating expenses in fiscal year 2006 increased by $186.5 million to $663.5 million
compared to $477.0 million in fiscal year 2005. The increase in fiscal year 2006 was mainly attributable to the related increase in project activities and cost of overruns and delays experienced on the Tyrihans Development, Britannia Satellites and
Dumbarton projects.

Income before income taxes from continuing operations

This segments income before income taxes in fiscal year 2007 was $153.7 million, an increase of $31.2 million compared to $122.5 million in fiscal
year 2006 related to improved results on projects such as Britannia Satellites, Dumbarton, CNR Frame Agreement and Eldfisk due to final settlement of variation orders and increased scope of work. These improvements were offset by cost overruns on
projects such as Njord Gas Export, Tyrihans Development and the Trunkline project Mexilhao, in addition to increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

Acergy Northern Europe and Canadas income before income taxes in fiscal year 2006 was $122.5 million, an increase of $55.5 million compared to $67.0 million in fiscal year 2005 driven by an increase in net
operating revenue from the strong performance on projects such as Langeled and Norne Satellites and an increase in our share of the net income from non-consolidated joint ventures which was partially offset by poor performance on projects such as
Tyrihans Development, Britannia Satellites and Dumbarton.

This segment includes activities in the United States of America, Mexico, Central America and Western Canada and provides project management support for
major projects executed in South America. Its office is in Houston, Texas in the United States of America.

In fiscal year 2005 a strategic
decision was made to reorient Acergy North America and Mexico toward deepwater SURF work and the Conventional and shallow water IMR assets classified as discontinued operations were sold to Cal Dive.

Net operating revenue from continuing operations

This segments net operating revenue from continuing operations was $3.2 million in fiscal year 2007, a decrease of $34.8 million as compared to $38.0 million in fiscal year 2006 due to lack of ship availability.
In fiscal year 2007, revenues primarily consisted of concrete products from our Louisiana fabrication yard. During fiscal year 2006, Acergy Hawk was utilized on the Matterhorn project, which generated the majority of the net operating
revenue. Acergy Hawk was deployed to other segments during fiscal year 2007, as part of our global fleet allocation program to gain maximum economic benefit.

Acergy North America and Mexicos net operating revenue from continuing operations was $38.0 million in fiscal year 2006, a decrease of $11.1 million as compared to $49.1 million in fiscal year 2005 partly due to
the reassignment of ships that had been used on projects in fiscal year 2005 to other projects in fiscal year 2006.

Operating expenses
from continuing operations

Acergy North America and Mexicos operating expenses for fiscal year 2007 were $3.2 million as compared
to $31.7 million in fiscal year 2006. The $28.5 million decrease was directly linked to the significantly reduced net operating revenue as discussed above.

##### Table of Contents

This segments operating expenses for fiscal year 2006 were $31.7 million as compared to $48.5
million in fiscal year 2005. The decreased costs of $16.8 million reflected the reduced net operating revenue generated by the segment and the good performance of the Acergy Hawk on the Matterhorn project.

Income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations

The segments loss before income taxes was $5.2 million, compared to an income before income taxes of $2.8 million in fiscal year 2006. The $8.0 million deterioration was mainly caused by under-recovery of
selling, general and administrative expenses and other support costs due to very low activity levels in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006. Included in the segments net income was a portion of the net income earned from the PRA-1
and Frade projects, which were shared on an equal basis with Acergy South America.

Acergy North America and Mexicos income before
income taxes in fiscal year 2006 was $2.8 million, compared to a loss before income taxes of $1.8 million in fiscal year 2005. In addition to the Matterhorn project, it includes a portion of net income earned from the PRA-1 project where project
management services were provided to Acergy South America.

The table below sets forth the most significant projects in the Acergy North
America and Mexico segment:

|Income (loss) before income taxes from discontinued operations |  | 5.9   |   |  | 16.9  |   |  | 33.1   |  

For this discussion, discontinued operations relates to work performed by the Conventional and
shallow water IMR assets sold to Cal Dive in fiscal year 2005 and fiscal year 2006 or by assets subsequently contracted to finalize certain Conventional projects in Trinidad and Tobago that were in progress at the date of the disposal.

On January 9, 2006 we completed the sale of the derrick lay-barge DLB 801 following the completion of the barges projects in
Trinidad and Tobago, and on March 15, 2006 the Group completed the sale of the reel pipelay ship Seaway Kestrel to Cal Dive for total cash proceeds of $80.4 million and a gain on disposal of $35.1 million. On October 31, 2005 we
sold seven ships and the shore support bases and equipment to Cal Dive for total of $42.5 million in cash, resulting in a gain of $27.1 million.

Net operating revenue from discontinued operations

This segments net operating revenue from discontinued operations
in fiscal year 2007 decreased by $49.7 million to $16.9 million compared to $66.6 million in fiscal year 2006, and reflected the completion of NGC-Bud the last remaining project during first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Acergy North America and Mexicos net operating revenue from discontinued operations in fiscal year 2006 was $66.6 million compared to $222.6
million in fiscal year 2005, a decrease of $156.0 million due to

completion of outstanding projects. The revenue generated came from the two remaining projects Dolphin Deep and NGC-Bud and reflected the delays experienced
in completion of these Conventional projects, due to equipment breakdowns and adverse weather conditions.

Operating expenses from
discontinued operations

Acergy North America and Mexicos operating expenses from discontinued operations for fiscal year 2007 was
$6.4 million, a decrease of $73.2 million as compared to $79.6 million in fiscal year 2006. The reduction was due to completion of the Conventional projects in Trinidad and Tobago during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

This segments operating expenses from discontinued operations for fiscal year 2006 was $79.6 million, a decrease of $126.2 million as compared to
$205.8 million in fiscal year 2005. The decrease in costs was mainly driven by the reduced activity as reflected by the significant decrease in net operating revenue from discontinued operations. Additionally, we incurred extra costs due to
difficulties encountered on a third party ship while completing the work on the Dolphin Deep and NGC-Bud projects.

Income (loss) before
income taxes from discontinued operations

This segments income before income taxes from discontinued operations of $5.9 million
in fiscal year 2007 was a decrease of $11.0 million as compared to $16.9 million in fiscal year 2006. The Conventional projects were completed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 with reported profits due to favorable settlements with clients
and subcontractors; while in fiscal year 2006 these projects were reported with losses. Fiscal year 2006 included a $35.1 million gain on the sale of ships to Cal Dive, which was not repeated in fiscal year 2007.

Acergy North America and Mexicos income before income taxes from discontinued operations of $16.9 million in fiscal year 2006 was a decrease of
$16.2 million as compared to $33.1 million in fiscal year 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased activity and to the difficulties encountered on completion of the Dolphin Deep and NGC-Bud projects as discussed above, only
partially offset by the gain of $35.1 million on the sale of the two ships to Cal Dive being higher than the gain of $27.1 million in fiscal year 2005 discussed above.

This segment includes all activities in South America and the islands of the southern Atlantic Ocean and
has its office in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its principal operating location is Macae, Brazil.

Net operating revenue from continuing
operations

Acergy South Americas net operating revenue for fiscal year 2007 of $247.9 million represented 9.3% of our total net
operating revenue from continuing operations and was an increase of $165.3 million as compared to $82.6 million in fiscal year 2006. The increase was attributable to the SURF projects PRA-1 and Frade which contributed $102.7 million compared to
$17.3 million in fiscal year 2006, as this was part of our strategy to enter the growing SURF and EPIC market in the segment. In addition the commencement of the engineering and procurement phase of Mexilhao, the first Trunkline project for the
region, and the start of the six year day-rate contract with Pertinacia, contributed significantly to the 200.1% increase in net operating revenue year-on-year.

This segments net operating revenue for fiscal year 2006 of $82.6 million increased by $32.4 million as compared to $50.2 million in fiscal year 2005 attributable partly to an increase in execution of IMR
related activity and partly to an increase in SURF activity. The increase in SURF activity included the start-up of the PRA-1 project, the first lump sum SURF turnkey project in Brazil.

Operating expenses from continuing operations

This segments operating expenses for fiscal year 2007 of $245.9 million accounted for 11.6% of our total operating expenses from continuing operations and were $177.2 million higher as compared to $68.7 million in fiscal year 2006.
The significant increase was mainly linked to full offshore operation of PRA-1, the Pertinacia contract commencing at the end of second quarter, but also more specifically related to significant losses incurred on the Trunkline project Mexilhao,
which were shared on an equal basis with Acergy Northern Europe and Canada.

Acergy South Americas operating expenses for fiscal year
2006 increased by $24.7 million to $68.7 million compared to $44.0 million in fiscal year 2005. The increase was partly due to the increased costs to operate Acergy Condor and Acergy Harrier and partly to the commencement of
engineering and procurement phases on the PRA-1 project.

Income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations

Acergy South America reported a loss before income taxes of $10.4 million in fiscal year 2007, a decrease of $14.9 million compared to a $4.5 million
income before income taxes in fiscal year 2006. The SURF projects had positive contributions, but these were offset by reduced profitability of the Acergy Harrier day rate project due to thruster problems, but mainly due to losses on the
Trunkline project Mexilhao.

Income before income taxes for this segment was $4.5 million in fiscal year 2006, an increase of $6.4 million
compared to a $1.9 million loss before income taxes in fiscal year 2005 due to an increase in IMR and SURF activity as discussed above.

This segment includes all activities in Asia Pacific, India and Middle East (but excludes the Caspian Sea) and includes the Malaysian joint venture
SapuraAcergy with SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad. It has its office in Singapore with satellite offices in Jakarta and Balikpapan, Indonesia and Perth, Australia. The office in Balikpapan has been recorded as being held for sale.

In line with our strategy to focus our business on developing globally our deepwater SURF capabilities, we sold during fiscal year 2007 our non-core
shallow water and diving assets previously used for projects executed in Indonesia for cash proceeds of $16.7 million.

Investment

Toisa Proteus, which is on a three year charter from the Toisa/Sealion Group of companies, joined the fleet at the end of second
quarter in fiscal year 2007. The ship completed its conversion program during third quarter, and commenced working for the segments projects. In addition, Sapura 3000, a new build ship within the SapuraAcergy joint venture, has been
converted during fiscal year 2007, and will commence working for the Kikeh project during first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Net operating revenue from continuing operations

Acergy Asia and Middle Easts net operating revenue of $102.4 million accounted for 3.8% of the total net operating revenue from continuing
operations in fiscal year 2007, a decrease of $27.4 million compared to $129.8 million in fiscal year 2006. The decrease was primarily caused by an $18.8 million reduction in net operating revenue from IMR projects, from $23.3 million in fiscal year
2006 to $4.5 million in fiscal year 2007. The decrease was also the result of the segments project portfolio largely being in the early stages of development.

This segments net operating revenue increased in fiscal year 2006 by $49.1 million to $129.8 million compared to $80.7 million in fiscal year 2005. This increase was mainly driven by net operating revenues from
SURF projects such as Casino, Sakhalin and Dai Hung and reflected our strategy to develop this segment around the SURF market.

Operating expenses from continuing operations

Operating expenses in fiscal year 2007 of $101.1 million were 4.8% of our
total operating expenses from continuing operations, a decrease of $11.8 million from $112.9 million in fiscal year 2006. The reduction of operating expenses was primarily due to less IMR activity due to the sale of diving and shallow water assets,
offset by increased operating expenses related to heavy construction and diving support ship Toisa Proteus which joined the fleet during the second quarter.

Operating expenses in fiscal year 2006 increased by $41.7 million to $112.9 million from $71.2 million in fiscal year 2005. This increase reflected operational difficulties experienced on the Dai Hung and Kerisi
projects together with increased labor costs due to our high levels of staffing as we develop this segment for future growth.

Income
before income taxes from continuing operations

Acergy Asia and Middle Easts loss before income taxes for fiscal year 2007 was
$15.6 million, a decrease of $16.7 million compared to an income before income taxes of $1.1 million in fiscal year 2006. The reduction was caused by losses from the non-consolidated joint venture SapuraAcergy due to a delay in the completion of
Sapura 3000 and loss on an interest rate swap deemed ineffective under FAS 133. In addition the segments project portfolio was less profitable compared to fiscal year 2006 due to operational problems, including the Dai Hung project. These
downgrades were offset by $12.5 million gain on sale of Indonesian shallow water and diving assets.

This segments income before
income taxes for fiscal year 2006 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to $2.3 million in fiscal year 2005 attributable partly to the increase in expenses incurred as a result of recruiting additional staff and partly to project
performance issues on the Dai Hung and Kerisi projects.

Net operating revenue from continuing operations

Acergy Corporates net operating revenue in fiscal year 2007 increased by $2.6 million to $3.7 million compared to $1.1 million in fiscal year 2006, relating to external revenue on Corporate servicesall of
the increase pertaining to claim provision in respect of our joint venture partner.

This segments net operating revenue in fiscal
year 2006 decreased by $9.1 million to $1.1 million compared to $10.2 million in fiscal year 2005 and the decrease was primarily attributable to no active businesses being managed in this segment following the divestment of Paragon Engineering
Services, Inc. in early 2005. Net operating revenue of $1.1 million was attributable to external Acergy Corporate services.

Operating expenses from continuing operations

In fiscal year 2007, the segments operating expenses reported an over-recovery of $12.6 million, as compared to an over-recovery of $9.5 million in
fiscal year 2006. The increase in over-recovery of $3.1 million was mainly related to captive insurance activities relating to an increase in volume of premium and good claim record for the year and higher utilization of mobile assets, offset by
lower utilization of our ships and higher cost of offshore personnel. Changes to the utilization levels of equipment and ships impact the level of operating expenses as the project activity levels impact the contribution to the assets fixed
cost base, hence impacting the level of net operating expenses.

In fiscal year 2006, the segments operating expenses experienced an
over-recovery of $9.5 million, as compared to a cost of $1.5 million in fiscal year 2005. The result in fiscal year 2006 was principally generated from the high utilization rate of our ships which has led to an over-recovery in that activity as the
charge out rates to other segments are based on budgeted levels of utilization. This has no impact on our net consolidated results.

Income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations

Acergy Corporates income before income taxes for fiscal
year 2007 of $31.1 million was an increase of $1.4 million compared to fiscal year 2006 which was related to the over-recoveries as discussed above.

Acergy Corporates income before income taxes for fiscal year 2006 of $29.7 million was an increase of $25.4 million compared to fiscal year 2005. This increase was attributable partly to an improvement in net
income contribution from the non-consolidated joint venture operations of NKT Flexibles and SHL and partly to the over-recovery described above. Additionally, a substantial decrease was experienced in the expense charged in respect of the SMIP from
$11.1 million in fiscal year 2005 to $3.0 million in fiscal year 2006 following the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

Consolidated ResultsContinuing Operations

Net Operating Revenues

Net operating revenue increased to $2,663.4 million in fiscal year 2007 from $2,124.2 million in fiscal year 2006. This increase was mainly driven by
Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, and primarily related to successful offshore execution of the Greater Plutonio project, and Acergy South America with increased activity for both SURF and Trunkline projects, and to a lesser extent by Acergy Northern
Europe and Canada. The improvement was partially offset by Acergy Asia and Middle East and Acergy North America and Mexico where revenues decreased due to lack of ship availability, and therefore major project awards.

Net operating revenue increased to $2,124.2 million in fiscal year 2006 from $1,483.3 million in fiscal year 2005, mainly driven by Acergy Africa and
Mediterranean and Acergy Northern Europe and Canada where the SURF activity grew significantly, and to a lesser extent by Acergy South America and Acergy Asia and Middle East. These improvements reflected strong market conditions for our SURF assets
and generally successful project execution. The improvement was partially offset by Acergy North America and Mexico where revenues decreased due to lack of ship availability and Acergy Corporate where insignificant external revenues were generated
on Corporate services, compared to prior year, due to sale of Paragon Litwin.

Net operating revenue in fiscal year 2008 is expected to be
approximately $3.0 billion. As at November 30, 2007, an estimated $2.2 billion of our $3.2 billion backlog is for execution in fiscal year 2008.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses generally comprise direct project expenses, for example, procurement and
subcontractors costs, salary and related expenses for operational personnel, expenses for operating ships and equipment, including dry-dock amortization and depreciation.

##### Table of Contents

Operating expenses increased to $2,122.3 million in fiscal year 2007 from $1,695.2 million in fiscal year
2006. This increase was primarily attributable to the level of activity noted above together with new ships being added to the fleet and a continued increase in workforce, in part offset by a reduction in project activity in Acergy North America and
Mexico. Additionally, the increase was caused by price increases for commodities and subcontractors reflecting the current tight market conditions, and cost overruns on certain projects, including the Mexilhao project which is shared on an equal
basis between Acergy South America and Acergy Northern Europe and Canada.

Operating expenses increased to $1,695.2 million in fiscal year
2006 from $1,217.7 million in fiscal year 2005 primarily attributable to the level of activity noted above together with some increase in manpower and procurement activity, in part offset by a reduction in project activity in Acergy North America
and Mexico. Additionally the increase reflected commodity price increases and cost overruns on certain projects.

Operating expenses in
fiscal year 2008 are expected to be slightly higher than fiscal year 2007 reflecting the growth in revenues, continued efforts in recruitment and development of our workforce, and the impact of a full years operation for our extended fleet.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization is recorded in operating expenses and SG&A.

Depreciation and amortization in fiscal year 2007
amounted to $77.8 million compared to $58.6 million and $56.9 million in fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in fiscal year 2007 was mainly due to the delivery of Pertinacia and Polar Queen in the second and fourth
quarters, respectively, and the additional depreciation of Acergy Polaris due to the installation of the new J-Lay tower in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006.

The increase in fiscal year 2006 was due to the depreciation of Acergy Discovery purchased in fiscal year 2006 and investments made in Angola.

The depreciation and amortization charges for fiscal year 2008 are expected to be higher than in fiscal year 2007, mainly due to full year depreciation
of new ships commissioned during 2007.

Share in Net Income of Non-consolidated Joint Ventures

Our share in net income of non-consolidated joint ventures from continuing operations in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

##### Table of Contents

Our share in net income of non-consolidated joint ventures in fiscal year 2007 decreased to $31.3 million
from $41.3 million in fiscal year 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to SapuraAcergy as a result of a loss on an interest rate swap and the delay in delivery of the Sapura 3000. NKT Flexibles improved by $9.5 million due to rising
demand for flexible pipes. SHL decreased by $6.7 million during fiscal year 2007 due to the scheduled dry-dock of the Stanislav Yudin that occurred during the year and a lower gross margin contribution from executed projects. The decrease in
Acergy/Subsea 7 was due to the FTP By-Pass which made no contribution during the year (2006: $9.1 million) offset by the H7 By-Pass which contributed $7.6 million (2006: $nil).

In fiscal year 2006, the increase was partly due to an improvement in our joint venture income from Acergy/Subsea 7 where income increased by $9.4
million. This reflected the management by the joint venture of additional projects such as FTP By-Pass which, of the total of $16.7 million for fiscal year 2006, contributed $9.1 million. Income from the joint ventures SHL and NKT Flexibles improved
to $15.5 million and $8.2 million respectively due to the very good performance of SHLs Stanislav Yudin barge and the increased demand for flexible pipes as reflected by the NKT Flexibles plant running at full capacity. The Dalia FPSO
joint venture managed successfully the construction and the commission of the Dalia FPSO. The loss from SapuraAcergy arose from the fixed costs of the joint venture during the construction phase of the Sapura 3000. The decrease in
contribution from the MPG and the Kingfisher D.A. joint ventures was due to the cessation of activities of both joint ventures. The Kingfisher D.A. and the EPIC joint ventures ceased operation in fiscal year 2005.

In fiscal year 2008, a higher level of activity is expected in SHL and SapuraAcergy joint ventures as the Stanislav Yudin was dry-docked during
fiscal year 2007 and the Sapura 3000 is expected to be in operation in early 2008. NKT Flexibles is expected to continue to experience high demand for flexibles in fiscal year 2008. No further activities are expected in MPG, Kingfisher D.A.,
EPIC and the FTP By-Pass project while the Dalia FPSO is near completion.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

SG&A expenses from continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 were $227.7 million, compared to $183.9 million and $147.0 million
in fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in fiscal year 2007 over fiscal year 2006 was partly attributable to increase in tendering activity in our two largest business segments of Acergy Africa and Mediterranean and Acergy Northern
Europe and Canada, but also higher professional consultancy fees were incurred in relation to the French tax audit investigation, and our group-wide review of uncertain tax positions, as discussed in Note 12 Income tax to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally there was an increase in recruitment costs to support business growth in all business segments, except Acergy North America and Mexico.

The increase in fiscal year 2006 over fiscal year 2005 was partly attributable to increase in recruitment costs to support business growth in Acergy
Corporate and in the growing business segment of Acergy Asia and Middle East. Additionally there was an increase in bonuses of $10.5 million due to our improved profitability largely offset by a decrease in SMIP charges of $8.2 million following the
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

A condition of the $400 million amended and restated revolving credit and guarantee facility agreement
was to put in place the SMIP in order to secure the services of certain senior executives through to the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The SMIP provided for deferred compensation as a combination of cash and performance-based share options,
linked to the attainment of a number of strategic and financial objectives for each of the fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004. During fiscal year 2007, the Board Compensation Committee determined that 98.3% of the objectives had been met and therefore
the performance-based share options vested on February 28, 2007 and the cash compensation was paid. The total cost of the SMIP recorded in fiscal year 2007 was $0.4 million (2006: $3.0 million; 2005: $11.1 million).

Following a review of the various types of expenses included in the operating and overhead expense categories, the costs associated with running of
various business segment offices have been taken out of

operating expenses and included in SG&A. The rationale of this change is that the aforementioned costs are not directly related to operational activity.
Consequently there has been a reclassification from operating expenses to SG&A in the fiscal year 2007 of $39.1 million (2006: $34.5 million; 2005 $27.1 million).

Impairment of Long-lived Tangible Assets

In fiscal year 2007, impairment charges were $0.3
million in respect of long-lived tangible assets. The charge related to an office building in Aberdeen, Scotland which was impaired following the receipt of an offer to purchase and a 120 tonne tensioner which had low utilization.

In fiscal year 2006, impairment charges were $2.1 million. As discussed in Note 9 Tangible long-lived assets, net to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, this consisted of under-utilized mobile equipment related to steel catenary risers and flexibles.

In fiscal year
2005, impairment charges were $7.1 million in respect of our long-lived tangible assets. The most significant charge related to our fabrication yard in Warri, Nigeria, which was identified as underutilized during the preparation of fiscal year 2006
operating budget in October 2005. An impairment charge of $5.4 million was recorded in fiscal year 2005 to reduce the net book value of this asset to $nil.

Restructuring Credits (Charges)

No restructuring charges were recorded in fiscal years 2007 and 2006. In fiscal year
2005, the provision at the start of the year of $5.3 million principally related to future rental costs for the vacant office space in Acergy Africa and Mediterraneans office in Nanterre. As discussed in Note 18 Restructuring
provisions to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we released $1.9 million of this provision to the Consolidated Statements of OperationsRestructuring credits (charges), as we had reached an agreement as of
November 30, 2005 to terminate the remaining lease agreement and vacate the offices by December 31, 2005. The office has been relocated from Nanterre to Suresnes, near Paris in France and the remaining provision at November 30, 2005
was used for the final payments made during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Gain on Disposal of Long-lived Tangible Assets and Subsidiaries

Gain on sale of long-lived tangible assets

In fiscal year 2007, the gain of $13.6 million comprised $12.5 million from the sale of diving and shallow water assets in Acergy Asia and Middle East, $0.7 million from the sale of the J-Lay tower in Acergy Africa
and Mediterranean and other gains on disposal totaling $0.4 million.

In fiscal year 2006, the gain of $2.9 million was from the disposal
of Acergy Africa and Mediterraneans non-core shallow water assets in Nigeria.

In fiscal year 2005, the gain of $3.7 million
comprised $2.3 million from the disposal of trenching and ploughing assets, $1.2 million from the disposal of the Handil base in Acergy Asia and Middle East and $0.2 million from disposal of other long-lived assets.

Gain on sale of subsidiaries

In
fiscal year 2007, the loss on disposal of subsidiaries was $1.4 million related to the reclassification of foreign currency translation adjustments on liquidation of Stolt Comex Seaway Congo S.A.R.L realizing a loss of $0.8 million and Acergy France
S.A. (Kuala Branch) realizing a loss of $0.6 million.

In fiscal year 2006, the gain of $1.0 million was a gain from the disposal of Stolt
Comex Seaway Nigeria Ltd.

In fiscal year 2005, the total gain of $3.8 million consisted of $2.1 million from the disposal of
Paragon Engineering Services, Inc. and $1.7 million from the disposal of National Hyperbaric Centre Ltd.

Other Operating Income (Loss), Net

In fiscal year 2007, other operating income of $0.4 million, comprised bad debts recovered of $0.6 million and other expenses of $0.2
million.

In fiscal year 2006, other operating loss of $1.5 million, was primarily due to the raising of bad debt provisions of $1.3
million.

In fiscal year 2005, other operating income of $4.2 million, was primarily due to the reversal of a $5.7 million provision for
doubtful accounts in respect of advances made to the NKT Flexibles joint venture.

Interest Expense

In fiscal year 2007, interest expense from continuing operations increased by $18.7 million to $22.9 million from $4.2 million in fiscal year 2006. Of
this increase $9.7 million was attributable to a full years interest charge being recognized on the convertible notes, and $9.1 million of accrued late payment interest in respect of tax provisions as further described in Note 12 to the
consolidated financial statements.

In fiscal year 2006, interest expense from continuing operations increased marginally to $4.2 million
from $4.0 million in fiscal year 2005. The change in fiscal year 2006 resulted from interest expense due on the issuance of the $500 million convertible notes in October 2006 offset by a reduction in interest expense attributable to repayments of
our debt under the $400 million amended and restated revolving credit and guarantee facility in the first half of fiscal year 2005. The charge in fiscal year 2006 also included the impact of amortizing credit facility set-up costs of the $400
million amended and restated revolving credit and guarantee facility together with the amortization of the issuance cost of the $500 million convertible notes.

Interest Income

In fiscal year 2007, interest income from continuing operations increased to $30.8 million from
$18.8 million in fiscal year 2006. This increase was attributable to the interest earned during the full fiscal year on the remaining proceeds from the $500 million convertible notes.

In fiscal year 2006, interest income from continuing operations increased to $18.8 million from $3.9 million in fiscal year 2005. This increase was
attributable to the interest earned on the proceeds from the issuance of the $500 million convertible notes; significant funds paid in advance for major contracts, principally in Acergy Africa and Mediterranean; and from proceeds received on the
sale of discontinued operations in Acergy North America and Mexico.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), Net

During fiscal year 2007, a foreign exchange loss was recorded of $10.1 million compared to a $0.5 million gain in fiscal year 2006.

The fiscal year 2007 loss includes a gain of $10.7 million due to changes in the market value of the forward exchange contracts and the realization of
forward exchange contracts which were in place as of November 30, 2006. A foreign exchange loss of $21.8 million was also recognized in fiscal year 2007 due to the revaluation and settlement of short-term intercompany balances.

During fiscal year 2006, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of $0.5 million compared to a $22.2 million loss in fiscal year 2005. The fiscal year 2006
gain included a gain of $5.7 million due to the changes in the



61

##### Table of Contents

market value of the outstanding forward exchange contracts and the realization of forward exchange contracts which were in place as of November 30,
2005. The fiscal year 2005 loss of $22.2 million included a loss of $19.8 million in respect of forward contracts relating to the termination of certain service agreements with our former parent company SNSA.

We expect that the same risk of substantial foreign currency fluctuations will persist throughout fiscal year 2008.

Income Before Minority Interests and Taxes

Income before minority interests and taxes in fiscal year 2007 was $354.8 million as compared to $301.8 million in fiscal year 2006 and $129.7 million in fiscal year 2005, and was affected by all the factors identified above.

The table below, however, highlights a number of significant credits (charges), which had a material impact on income before minority interest and taxes.

Minority Interests

In fiscal year 2007, income attributable to minority interests resulted from the joint ventures which were consolidated in the financial statements. They were the Sonamet/Sonacergy and Alto Mar Girassol
(AMG) joint ventures. In fiscal year 2007 income after taxes attributable to minority interests was $7.2 million (2006: $7.3 million; 2005: $10.4 million).

It is expected that the Sonamet/Sonacergy joint venture will be maintained for the foreseeable future, while AMG has reached a conclusion of the Girassol project.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

We recorded a
net tax charge of $199.9 million in fiscal year 2007 as compared to a net tax charge of $73.6 million in fiscal year 2006 and to a net tax charge of $12.9 million in fiscal year 2005.

The tax charge in fiscal year 2007 comprised a charge to current tax of $204.2 million and a deferred tax credit of $4.3 million. The tax charge in
fiscal year 2006 comprised a charge to current tax of $69.5 million and a deferred tax charge of $4.1 million. The tax charge in fiscal year 2005 comprised a charge to current tax of $10.1 million and a deferred tax charge of $2.8 million.

The movements in the tax provision or benefit year on year are a product of the differing levels of profitability achieved in each of the
many territories in which we conduct our business. The significant components of the taxation provision are referred to in the following paragraphs. The total tax rate based on profit before tax and minority interest is in fiscal year 2007 56%
compared to 24% in fiscal year 2006 and 10% in fiscal year 2005.

We have an underlying tax rate on current year operations of 43%,
calculated as the tax charge (before the accrual for ongoing tax audits and the review of uncertain tax positions of $49 million) of $150.9 million as a



62

##### Table of Contents

proportion of profit before tax and minority interests of $354.8 million, which arises primarily from the fact that a significant proportion of our profits
have been generated by Acergy Africa and Mediterranean business which has a high tax rate. This high tax rate arises from the interaction of the original contract structure and the French and West African tax regimes, which have resulted in
unrelieved African withholding taxes.

As discussed more fully in Note 12 Income tax to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, we reassessed our estimates of the eventual probable liabilities resulting from ongoing tax audits and accrued additional provisions for risks arising out of tax audits and enquiries in France and the Netherlands. These provisions
amounted to $26 million or approximately 7% of profit before tax and minority interest. The most significant of these provisions arise from the French tax audit. We have made a provision of $26 million in respect of certain identified risks
reflecting our best estimates of the probable liability. Additionally we have made further provisions of $23 million or approximately 6% of profit before tax and minority interest reflecting revised estimates of probable liabilities identified
through our group-wide review of uncertain tax positions. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could result in tax charges that are materially higher or lower than the amounts accrued.

Our UK ship owning subsidiaries continue to be taxed within the UK tonnage tax regime. A key feature of this regime is that the commercial profits from
the ship operations qualifying as tonnage tax activities are adjusted by reference to a formula linked to the tonnage of the vessels before being taxed at the UK statutory tax rate. Our tax charge reflects a net benefit of $0.5 million in the fiscal
year 2007 compared to $7.1 million in the fiscal year 2006 and $3.4 million in 2005. This is compared to the UK tax that would be payable had we not elected to join the UK tonnage tax regime. During the fiscal year 2007, the UK tax authorities
started an enquiry into the amount of profits allocated to tonnage tax since 2003 (see accounts Note 12 Income tax to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).

The UK Government has recently signaled its intention to change the tonnage tax legislation with effect from April 1, 2008 following discussions
with the European Commission on the interpretation of the guidelines on State Aid. Subsequently, an announcement was made on March 6, 2008 withdrawing the technical note containing proposed legislation. We are currently evaluating the impact of
this potential change in legislation. This legislation as drafted would exclude the ships owned by our UK ship owning companies from the UK tonnage tax regime.

We recognized net deferred tax assets totaling $30.3 million (2006: $17.5 million) for the tax effects of temporary differences primarily in respect of provisions and deferred interest deductions.

Additionally, while we have potential future tax deductions, tax credits and Net Operating Losses (NOLs) in several other countries,
including the United States we have recorded a 100% valuation allowance against the corresponding deferred tax assets because we have determined, due to a lack of forecasted profits and a history of losses in the jurisdictions concerned, that it is
not more likely than not that tax deductions will be realized based on current estimates of future taxable earnings. Across our subsidiaries, we have NOLs and similar deductions of $257.4 million, a substantial proportion of which are in the U.S..

The Company is an exempt 1929 Luxembourg Holding Company. The Luxembourg tax law which provides for a special tax regime for 1929 Holding
Companies will expire in 2010. The Company is currently reviewing whether any structural changes will be required as a result of the expiration of this law.

Consolidated ResultsDiscontinued Operations

An agreement was announced on April 12, 2005 to sell
the IMR and Conventional assets that formed part of Acergy North America and Mexico businesses to Cal Dive, for $122.9 million in cash. This disposal reflected our strategy to focus on our core expertise of deepwater SURF. The sale on
October 31, 2005 included seven ships which worked in the IMR segment and the shore support bases and the equipment at the bases at the Port of

Iberia and at Fourchon in Louisana, which were sold for a total of $42.5 million in cash, resulting in a gain of $27.1 million. The derrick lay-barge DLB
801 was sold on January 9, 2006 for cash proceeds of $40.5 million resulting in a gain of $16.4 million and the sale of the reel pipelay ship Seaway Kestrel was completed on March 15, 2006 for cash proceeds of $39.9 million
resulting in a gain of $18.7 million, as described in Note 3 Discontinued operations and Note 8 Assets held for sale to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Conventional operations closed out during fiscal
year 2007.

Net Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

In fiscal year 2007, net income from discontinued operations were $5.9 million representing the close out of Conventional operations in Acergy North America and Mexico.

In fiscal year 2006, the loss from discontinued operations was $18.2 million offset by a gain on disposal of assets of $35.1 million resulting in net
income before taxation of $16.9 million.

In fiscal year 2005, net income from discontinued operations was $33.1 million, comprising $6.0
million in income from discontinued operations and a gain on disposal of assets of $27.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements, Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Our primary cash uses are to fund working capital, acquisitions of and upgrades to long-lived tangible assets, operating
expenditures and dry-docking costs.

As of November 30, 2007, we had available borrowing facilities of $84.4 million and together with
cash balances of $582.7 million the net available liquidity was $667.1 million. This compared to net available liquidity as of November 30, 2006 of $817.5 million. The decrease was mainly attributable to the consideration paid for the
repurchase of shares in Acergy S.A. ($146.8 million) and payment of dividends ($37.5 million).

Cash Management Constraints

Our cash operations are managed and controlled by our treasury
department, and cash surpluses and requirements are identified using consolidated cash flow forecasts. We do not always have the ability to freely transfer funds across international borders. For example, certain subsidiary companies in France which
show a negative net asset position are unable to release funds to our treasury without approval from the Board of Directors of the relevant subsidiary. Further approval from the Central Bank of Brazil is required to obtain remittances from Brazil
and access to the $48.0 million of cash held by Sonamet/Sonacergy may be limited because it would require agreement between the minority shareholder and us, as well as approval from the National Bank of Angola for Sonamet.

The main uncertainties with respect to our primary sources of funds are as follows: project related timing of cash inflows and outflows; timing of the
costs relating to investment in and expansion of the fleet; the ability to agree with clients, in a timely fashion, the amounts due as claims and variation orders; and the availability of cash flows from joint ventures.

Future Compliance with Debt Covenants

As
described in Note 15 Long-term debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements, our credit facilities contain various financial covenants, including but not limited to, a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum level of net
debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a maximum level of total financial debt to tangible net worth, a minimum level of cash and cash equivalents and an interest cover covenant. We must meet the
requirements of the financial covenants on a consolidated basis in quarterly intervals on the last day of February, May, August and November of each year. Given the improved performance of the business and the more favorable financial covenants in
the new credit facilities, we consider, based on our latest forecasts for fiscal year 2008, that we will be able to comply with all financial covenants during fiscal year 2008.

Sources of Cash

Our principal sources of funds for fiscal year 2007 have been cash from
operations and proceeds from the sale of long-lived tangible assets.

Our year-end cash and cash equivalents position of $582.7 million is
largely attributable to the remaining proceeds raised by the convertible notes in fiscal year 2006 and cash receipts in respect of advance billings which

have been negotiated under a number of contracts. A corresponding liability, reflecting our obligations, is recorded as advance billings, to execute the
corresponding work as the cash is required to complete the contracts. Therefore, our only readily available funds for ongoing operations are: (i) the available $84.4 million under the $400 million revolving credit facility; and (ii) our
cash on hand and cash flows from operations going forward.

We believe that our ability to obtain funding from the sources described above
will continue to provide the cash flows necessary to satisfy our working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements, as well as meet our debt repayments and other financial commitments for at least the next 12 months. We also have the
ability to raise additional debt and to issue further share capital.

We expect to use our cash to fund further upgrading and rejuvenation
of our fleet, to provide a platform to support growth initiatives and to continue to purchase up to a maximum of 10% of our issued share capital up to a maximum consideration of $300 million.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations is derived principally from the collection of receivables due from clients under project contracts. The timing of invoice
preparation for long-term contracts is typically based on progress towards the completion of work, either defined as agreed project milestones or an otherwise agreed staged payment schedule. Cash flows do not always coincide with the
recognition of revenues, as clients are generally required to make advance payments at project commencement. It is our policy, when negotiating a contract, to arrange for cash to be received from the client in advance of the requirement to pay
suppliers, thus ensuring a positive impact on liquidity.

Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal year 2007 was $249.0
million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $38.2 million during fiscal year 2006. At the end of fiscal year 2007 we had received $197.6 million in advance payments from our clients compared to $234.8 million at the end of
fiscal year 2006. The major cash flow movements are disclosed further in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

The fiscal year 2007
$249.0 million of net cash provided by operating activities comprised $219.0 million generated from operating activities, dividends of $24.2 million from our non-consolidated joint ventures and a $5.8 million decrease in working capital. Average
accounts receivable increased to 96 days as of November 30, 2007 from 91 days as of November 30, 2006. Average accounts payable days decreased to 90 days as of November 30, 2007 from 108 days as of November 30, 2006.

The fiscal year 2006 $38.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities comprised $246.0 million generated from operating activities,
dividends of $14.8 million from our non-consolidated joint ventures offset by a $222.6 million increase in working capital. Average accounts receivable increased to 91 days as at November 30, 2006 from 81 days as at November 30, 2005.
Average accounts payable days increased to 108 days as at November 30, 2006 from 107 days as at November 30, 2005.

The other
year-to-year fluctuations in cash flows from operating activities for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 are attributable to fluctuations in net operating income as discussed under Our Business Segment Results above.

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities and Capital Expenditures

Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 2007 was $229.8 million compared to $117.3 million in fiscal year 2006 and $11.5 million in fiscal
year 2005.

In fiscal year 2007, this primarily comprised net cash inflows from the sale of tangible assets of $35.3 million, net cash
outflows related to the purchase of tangible assets of $245.8 million to further develop our asset base and net cash outflows of $18.9 million to increase our investments in joint ventures.

Within the normal course of our business, we undertake capital expenditures with the aim of both maintaining capability and growth.

The table below sets forth information with respect to our capital expenditures for tangible assets spent in each of the last three fiscal years split
between growth and maintenance.

|(a) | Growth capital expenditure represents capital investments which add revenue generating capability, typically by either adding capacity (e.g. new ship or piece of equipment) or by
upgrading or enhancing an existing asset.

|(b) | Maintenance capital expenditure represents capital investments which maintain our existing capacity and can take the form of equipment, facilities or safety/environmental
investments.

|(c) | Total capital expenditures in fiscal year 2005 remain as per previous Annual Reports, however the amounts have been analyzed in terms of growth and maintenance.

Capital expenditures for continuing operations represented $245.8 million for fiscal year 2007 (2006: $193.2 million; 2005:
$77.3 million). Capital expenditure relating to discontinued operations included in the above table was $nil for fiscal year 2007 (2006: $nil; 2005: $4.0 million).

The above investments were made within the context of our ongoing fleet rejuvenation program (Growth) in addition to maintaining our existing asset base to a high standard (Maintenance).

For more information regarding capital expenditure, please refer to Item 4. Capital Expenditures and DivestituresCapital
Expenditures above.

Cash used in the purchase of tangible assets was $245.8 million in fiscal year 2007, of this capital expenditure
was $213.8 million and $27.5 million due to the movement in related accruals. This was marginally below the expectations of $235 million disclosed during fiscal year 2006. In fiscal year 2008 we expect capital expenditure of approximately $250
million of which approximately $130 million is allocated for growth and approximately $120 million for maintenance.

Net cash used in
investing activities in fiscal year 2006 was $117.3 million compared to $11.5 million in fiscal year 2005. In fiscal year 2006 this primarily comprised of net cash inflows from assets sales relating to the disposals of assets to Cal Dive and
Hydrodive Nigeria Limited totaling $81.1 million; less the purchase of tangible assets of $193.2 million. In fiscal year 2005, cash used primarily consisted of net cash inflows from asset sales relating to the disposals of Paragon Engineering
Services, Inc,. Acergy North America and Mexico IMR business and other minor items totaling $71.7 million; less the purchase of tangible assets of $81.3 million attributable to the greater availability of funds.

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities

In fiscal year 2007, net cash used by financing activities was $178.7 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $468.8 million in
fiscal year 2006. This reduction was attributable to $490.8 million of net proceeds received from the issuance of the convertible notes in fiscal year 2006, an increase in share buy backs to $146.8 million in fiscal year 2007 from $16.5 million in
fiscal year 2006 and the payment of a our first dividend to shareholders of $37.5 million in fiscal year 2007.

In fiscal year 2006, net
cash provided by financing activities was $468.8 million, compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of $71.3 million in fiscal year 2005. This was primarily attributable to the $490.8 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the
$500 million convertible notes in October 2006. We also repurchased shares to the value of $16.5 million, paid dividends of $16.3 million to minority shareholders and received $10.8 million for issue of common shares upon exercise of stock options.
Additionally, there were no repayments of bank credit facilities in fiscal year 2006 as compared to $60.0 million of such repayments in fiscal year 2005.

Description of Indebtedness

The $400 Million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Guarantee Facility

In fiscal year 2006, the revolving credit and guarantee facility was increased from $350 million to $400 million with the existing
consortium of banks and the maturity was extended until August 10, 2011. The sub-limit for cash drawings was reduced to $100 million from $175 million. The mortgages over the secured ships were released, the provisions in the agreement relating
to the security removed and the guarantee significantly simplified to offer a guarantee of the loan by Acergy S.A. only. Explicit restrictions on investments and additional financing were removed, pricing was improved, and the facility was restated
in a market standard form.

The facility is used for general corporate purposes including the financing of ships, and includes the issuance
of guarantees to support contract performance obligations and other operating requirements. It provides for revolving loans of up to $100 million during the first three years, reducing to $75 million for the fourth year and further reducing to $50
million for the fifth year until the final date of maturity August 10, 2011. Any unused amount under the revolving loan part of the facility is available for the issuance of guarantees as described in Note 15 Long-term debt to
the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of November 30, 2007, there were no revolving loans drawn and $315.6 million was utilized for performance guarantees.

The facility contains certain financial covenants in respect of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum level of net debt to EBITDA, a maximum level of total financial debt to tangible net worth, a minimum
level of cash and cash equivalents and an interest cover covenant. We must meet the requirements of the financial covenants on a consolidated basis in quarterly intervals ending on the last day of February, May, August and November of each year.

In addition to the financial covenants listed above, the facility also contains negative pledges with respect to accounts receivable and
cash and includes representations, affirmative covenants and negative covenants which are customary for transactions of this nature and consistent with past practice. Such covenants specifically limit mergers or transfers, incurrence of other
indebtedness, investments and loans, distributions to shareholders and cash and cash equivalents that are permitted to be held by non-obligors.

The facility also covers events of default which include payment defaults (subject to a three day grace period), breach of financial covenants, breach of other obligations, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency proceedings,
insolvency events, illegality, unenforceability, conditions subsequent, curtailment of business, claims against an obligors assets, appropriation of an obligors assets, final judgments, cross-defaults to other indebtedness in excess of
$5.0 million, failure to maintain exchange listing, material adverse effect, auditors qualification, repudiation and material litigation.

The $500 Million 2.25 per cent Convertible Notes due 2013

In fiscal year 2006, the $500 million convertible notes were placed with the receipt of net proceeds after deduction of related costs of $490.8 million.

The convertible notes have an annual interest rate of 2.25% payable semi-annually in arrears on April 11 and
October 11 of each year up to and including fiscal year 2013. They were issued at 100% of their principal amount and unless previously redeemed, converted or cancelled will mature on October 11, 2013. The convertible notes are listed
on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The convertible notes are convertible into our common shares with the revised
conversion price of $23.80 equivalent to 20,790,021 common shares, or approximately 10.6% of our existing issued share capital as of November 30, 2007. The conversion price will be adjusted in line with market practices for this type of
instrument to provide fair value adjustments such as payment of dividends and events like a change of control which can affect materially the marketability, liquidity or volatility of our common shares.

We also have an exercisable option which permits us to call the convertible notes after 4 years and 14 days from the date of issue if the price of our
common shares exceeds 130% of the then prevailing conversion price over a specified period.

The convertible notes also include the
following: unsecured but with a negative pledge provision in respect of other current and future property or asset to ensure that the convertible notes will rank equally with other debt issuances; a cross default provision subject to a minimum
threshold of $10 million; and other events of default in connection with non-payment of the convertible notes; various undertakings in connection with the term of any further issuance of common shares, continuance of the listing of the common shares
and the convertible notes on recognized stock exchanges, and; customary provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price.

There had
been no conversions of these convertible notes as at November 30, 2007.

The $200 Million Guarantee Facility

On February 26, 2008, we executed a new $200 million multi-currency revolving guarantee facility with a number of banks from the existing consortium
of banks that is providing the $400 million revolving credit and guarantee facility. The facility is secured by a guarantee from Acergy S.A. only.

The facility is to be used for the issuance of performance guarantees in the ordinary course of our business. The facility has a maturity date of February 26, 2013, however, performance guarantees can be issued with a maturity no later
than August 26, 2014.

The facility contains certain financial covenants in respect of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a
maximum level of net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a maximum level of total financial debt to tangible net worth, a minimum level of cash and cash equivalents and an interest cover
covenant. We must meet the requirements of the financial covenants on a consolidated basis at quarterly intervals ending February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. In addition to the financial
covenants listed above, the facility also contains negative pledges with respect to accounts receivable and cash and includes representations, affirmative covenants and negative covenants and events of defaults which are customary for transactions
of this nature and consistent with past practice. Such covenants specifically limit mergers or transfers, incurrence of other indebtedness, investments and loans, distributions to shareholders and cash and cash equivalents that are permitted to be
held by non-obligors.

The fee applicable for performance guarantees is linked to the ratio of our net debt to EBITDA and may range from
0.45% per year to 1.00% per year and is currently fixed at 0.45% subject to review every three months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Leases and Bank Guarantees

We do not engage in off-balance sheet financing in the form of special purpose entities or similar arrangements. We engage in operating leases in the
normal course of our business in respect of ship charter hire obligations, office facilities and equipment.

We also arrange for bank
guarantees, which collectively refer to performance bonds, bid bonds, advance payment bonds, guarantees or standby letters of credit in respect of our performance obligations to our clients in connection with our work on specific projects.

The purpose of the bank guarantees generally is to enable our clients to recover cash advances paid to us under the project contracts or
to obtain cash compensation should we be unable to fulfill our performance obligations under our contracts. Bank guarantees were issued in support of our projects in fiscal year 2007 of $203.1 million (2006: $94.0 million; 2005: $164.3 million).

The $400 million amended and restated revolving credit and guarantee facility, referred to above, is available for guarantees to the
extent it is not drawn as loans. As of November 30, 2007, the aggregate amount of guarantees issued under available facilities was $388.3 million, of which $315.6 million related to the $400 million revolving credit and guarantee facility as
described in Note 27 Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The various different bonds were issued to guarantee our project performance and that of our subsidiaries and joint ventures to third parties in the normal
course of business.

In addition, we have arrangements with a number of other financial institutions to issue bank guarantees on our
behalf. As of November 30, 2007, we had an additional $30 million bank guarantee facility with Credit Industriel et Commercial Bank with no fixed expiry date and a number of unsecured local bond lines in Indonesia, Brazil and Nigeria for the
sole uses of PT Acergy Indonesia, Acergy Brasil S/A and Globestar Engineering Company (Nigeria) Limited respectively. The lines are with HSBC Indonesia ($0.5 million), HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. ($40 million), First Bank of Nigeria plc ($12.6 million),
Sterling Bank plc ($8.4 million) and United Bank of Africa plc ($4.2 million). We have a several guarantee arrangement for the repayment of 50% of the drawings under a $240 million loan taken out by the SapuraAcergy joint venture to fund the
construction of the ship Sapura 3000, less $50 million, the risk on which is borne by the bank. This guarantee will expire and be replaced by a new several guarantee by the joint venture partners, to cover the bareboat charter to cover the
loan repayments, less $50 million ($25 million per partner), once the ship goes into operation. This overall guarantee arrangement will expire on February 2, 2015.

We also had a several performance guarantee in place, which was in favor of the construction consortium in respect of construction costs of the ship Sapura 3000. This guarantee expired on February 2, 2008,
when we took delivery of the ship.

Investments in and advances to our non-consolidated joint ventures were $98.0 million in fiscal year
2007, an increase of $29.8 million from $68.2 million in fiscal year 2006. The increase was attributable principally to our joint venture operations in SHL and NKT Flexibles offset by losses incurred in SapuraAcergy.

Description of Joint Ventures

The
Dalia FPSO facility is a joint venture with Technip S.A. and Saipem S.A. to perform work on the Dalia field development in Block 17 offshore Angola for Total E&P Angola. The joint venture has responsibility for project management, engineering,
procurement, onshore commissioning and offshore hook-up of the FPSO.

Under the Acergy/Subsea 7 joint venture we included the result of the
FTP and H7 By-Pass projects and a new consortium agreement which is being executed in the North Sea. All of which are independent project specific joint ventures.

We established the SapuraAcergy joint venture with SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad, to take over the build and operation of the Sapura 3000, a new heavy lift and pipelay ship designed to be one of the most
advanced deepwater construction ship in the growing Asia Pacific region. The ship has successfully completed sea trials and is expected to commence the offshore phase of the Kikeh project in first quarter of fiscal year 2008. During the fiscal year
2007, the $150 million loan taken out by the joint venture to partially fund the construction of the Sapura 3000 was refinanced into a $200 million term loan with an additional $40 million revolving credit facility. The Group has issued a
several guarantee in respect of this loan, less $50 million, the risk on which is borne by the bank.

We offer heavy lift floating crane
services through SHL. SHL charters the heavy lift barge Stanislav Yudin from a subsidiary of Lukoil Kaliningradmorneft plc, our joint venture partner in SHL. The barge operates worldwide providing heavy lift services to a range of offshore
companies, including occasional projects for the Group. A higher level of activity is expected in fiscal year 2008, to that experienced in fiscal year 2007 as the barge made a scheduled dry-dock at the beginning of the fiscal year 2007. A new build,
heavy lift ship Oleg Strashnov is under construction and the ship is expected to be in operation in 2010. We increased our investment in SHL during fiscal year 2007 to contribute to the construction costs of this ship. In addition to this
increase in shareholder contribution, SHL took out a term loan, revolving credit and guarantee facility on May 25, 2007. The term loans are for up to 140 million and $180 million, and the revolving credit and guarantee facility for
up to $33 million. There is no recourse back to the Group in respect of this facility.

NKT Flexibles manufacture flexible flowlines and
dynamic flexible risers. Until fiscal year 2005, the joint venture had reported operating losses for several years. In order to ensure the operational solvency of the joint venture, we made short-term cash advances during fiscal year 2005 of $2.0
million. In fiscal year 2005, a provision of $5.7 million was released as the prospects of this joint venture had improved. In fiscal year 2006, the joint venture experienced an improvement due to the market increase in demand for flexible flowlines
and flexible risers. In fiscal year 2007, our share of net income was $17.7 million and a dividend of $6.3 million has been received.

In
fiscal year 2007, a new joint venture Acergy Havila Limited was set up with Havila Shipping ASA to construct a state-of-the-art dive support ship. Upon delivery in 2010, Acergy will charter the ship from Acergy Havila Limited for a firm
period of 10 years and has an option to purchase or extend the charter. The addition of this new diving ship continues our fleet rejuvenation program and adds an industry leading asset to our

operations in Northern Europe and Canada. This key asset is expected to help win challenging SURF projects and to enable us to undertake pipeline tie-in,
hyperbaric welding and IRM work from a ship is expected to differentiate us from our competitors in terms of safety, efficiency and productivity.

During fiscal year 2007, a Nigerian joint venture, Oceon, was founded with Petrolog Engineering Services Limited, an established Nigerian contractor, as partner. The purpose of Oceon is to provide engineering support for future shallow and
deepwater projects to be executed in Nigeria, and therefore strengthen Acergy and Mediterraneans presence in the country.

The rest
of our joint ventures have been formed either with a national oil company, or on a project-specific basis to enhance the range of services provided to the client.

Where joint ventures are project-specific, we will typically be obliged to contribute our proportionate share of funding requirements. In addition we may be liable for the failure of our joint venture partners to
fulfill their obligations. We will in the normal course of our joint venture operations also have an obligation to meet our proportionate share of funding needs in long-term joint ventures. However such joint venture investments would require
unanimity among the joint venture partners.

Legal, Regulatory and Insurance Matters

Bateman

We received a claim from Bateman, the company which acquired Paragon Litwin S.A., our former engineering subsidiary, on June 9, 2004. Bateman is
claiming an amount of $20 million on the grounds of alleged misrepresentation when the business was sold, and on February 17, 2006 referred the claim for arbitration. A hearing was held on January 14 - 17, 2008 and we expect that the
conclusions should be known during the course of summer 2008. Management believes that the claim has no merit and it is not considered probable that we will suffer a material loss as a consequence of this legal action. We therefore recorded no
provision for this claim.

Other Matters

In the course of our business, we become involved in contract disputes from time-to-time due to the nature of our activities as a contracting business involved in several long-term projects at any given time. The Group raises provisions to
cover the expected risk of loss to the extent that negative outcomes are likely and reliable estimates can be made. However, the final outcomes of these contract disputes are subject to uncertainties as to whether or not they develop into a formal
legal action and therefore the resulting liabilities may exceed the liability we may anticipate.

Furthermore, we are involved in legal
proceedings from time to time incidental to the ordinary conduct of our business. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. It is reasonably possible that the final
resolution of any litigation could require us to make additional expenditures in excess of reserves that we may establish. In the ordinary course of business, various claims, suits and complaints have been filed against us in addition to the ones
specifically referred to above. Although the final resolution of any such other matters could have a material effect on our operating results for a particular reporting period, we believe that they should not materially affect our consolidated
financial position.

For accounting purposes, we expense legal costs as they are incurred.

Please refer to Item 8. Financial InformationLegal ProceedingsTax Audits for information about certain ongoing tax audits.

Subsequent Events

On February 6, 2008, our Board of Directors resolved to recommend the payment of a
dividend of 21 cents per common share, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting. The proposed dividend payment was approved by our shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 23, 2008.

On February 26, 2008, we entered into a new $200 million multi-currency revolving guarantee facility with a number of banks from the existing
consortium of banks providing the $400 million revolving credit and guarantee facility. The facility is secured by a guarantee from Acergy S.A. only. See Description of IndebtednessThe $200 Million Guarantee Facility above.

Tom Ehret retired as Chief Executive Officer on April 14, 2008. On May 23, 2008 the shareholders of the Company re-elected him
as a director of the Company. He will continue as an executive director until June 30, 2008. Thereafter he will become a Non-executive Director. On April 14, 2008 Jean P. Cahuzac became the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and on
May 23, 2008 the shareholders of the Company elected him as a director of the Company.

The Group purchased in total, a further
6,374,100 shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of NOK 112.15 per share during the period February 28, 2008 to April 30, 2008. These were the only purchases of the our common stock since November 30, 2007.

Research and Development and Intellectual Property

See Item 4. Information on the
CompanyIntellectual Property.

Inflation

The Groups business transactions in high-inflation countries are substantially denominated in
relatively stable currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, and inflation therefore does not materially affect the consolidated financial results. Where denominated in U.S. dollars these transactions have been hedgedin our foreign exchange management
program, which has mitigated the effects of the significant decline in the U.S. dollar in recent years.

Value-at-Risk

The Group uses a value-at-risk (VAR) model to estimate the maximum potential
counterparty loss on financial instruments that could occur from adverse movements in either interest rates or foreign exchange rates. The VAR model uses historical foreign exchange rates and interest rates to estimate the volatility and correlation
of these rates in future periods. It estimates a potential one-day loss in the fair market value of the instruments using statistical modeling techniques and including substantially all market risk exposures, specifically excluding joint venture
investments. The VAR model estimates were made assuming normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level.

The 95% confidence level
signifies our degree of confidence that actual losses would not exceed the estimated losses shown in the table below. The amounts shown here disregard the possibility that interest rates and foreign currency rates could move favorably. The VAR model
assumes that all movements in these rates would be adverse. Actual experience has shown that gains and losses tend to offset each other over time, and it is unlikely that we could experience losses such as these over an extended period of time in
the event of a counter party default. These amounts should not be considered to be projections of future losses, since actual results may differ significantly depending upon activity in the global financial markets.

The fair value losses shown in the table below have no impact on our results or financial condition.

##### Table of Contents

VAR in fiscal year 2007 increased to $0.6 million from $0.1 million in fiscal year 2006. This was partly
due to the significant increase in the financial instruments held by us and partly due to an increase in the historic volatility of the currency paid in fiscal year 2007.

A discussion of our accounting policies for financial instruments is included above in Critical Accounting PoliciesAccounting for Derivatives above and in Note 2 Accounting
policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Disclosure relating to financial instruments is included in Note 26 Financial instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Recently Issued but not yet Adopted Accounting Standards

As we have converted to IFRS from
December 1, 2007, we will not be assessing the future impact of the following recently issued but not yet adopted new accounting policies: SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations; SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; SFAS No. 160 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements; and FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FIN 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes.

International Financial Reporting Standards

Acergy S.A. is domiciled and registered in Luxembourg and the Luxembourg authorities have granted an exemption from the requirement to adopt IFRS until the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2007.
IFRS has been adopted on December 1, 2007 and we will publish comparative Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 in our 2008 Annual Report. IFRS has replaced accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America as our reporting framework with effect from December 1, 2007.

Changes in Share Capital

In fiscal year 2007 a total of 3,403,865 share options were exercised, raising gross
proceeds of $14.3 million. Of these 3,403,865 options, treasury stock of 2,957,018 were issued together with 446,847 new common shares. A total of 8,098,625 common shares were repurchased for a total consideration of $146.8 million.

In fiscal year 2006 a total of 1,744,533 share options were exercised, raising gross proceeds of $10.8 million. A total of 914,800 shares were
repurchased for a total consideration of $16.5 million.

Any shares repurchased will either be cancelled, subject to shareholder approval,
or held as treasury shares to meet obligations arising under the convertible notes or any employee share option schemes.

Related Party Transactions

SNSA sold its remaining shareholding in Acergy in fiscal year 2005 on
January 13, 2005. Consequently SNSA were no longer a related party for fiscal years 2007 and 2006.

Corporate Services Agreement

Pursuant to a corporate services agreement, during fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, SNSA supplied, through a subsidiary, risk
management services to us. The fee for these services is subject to negotiation and agreement between the Group and SNSA on an annual basis.

During fiscal year 2005 SNSA supplied risk management services between December 1, 2004 and January 13, 2005. In addition, and until the end of June 2005, accounting services were provided by SNSA to us for a lump sum fee and
partly for an annual fee based on costs incurred in rendering those services. The fees for these management services were $0.3 million for the period to January 13, 2005. The fees were included as a component of SG&A expenses in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other (Receipts) Charges

In addition to the above corporate services, SNSA provided various other services to us, including certain types of insurance coverage, payroll
administration, and information technology. SNSA received a reimbursement of the cost of insurance premiums of $2.4 million and a charge of total service fees of $0.5 million mainly related to management services during fiscal year 2005.

Captive Insurance Company

SNSA owns
Marlowe Insurance Ltd., a Bermuda captive insurance company (Marlowe) through which certain of our interests were insured. A wholly-owned subsidiary of SNSA owns all of the common stock of Marlowe and we owned one class of non-voting
preference shares. In light of SNSAs phased sale of its holdings of our stock, during 2005 the Group ceased to acquire insurance from or through Marlowe with effect from the expiration of the various insurance policies placed with or through
Marlowe. As of November 30, 2007 we have settled our account with Marlowe and disposed of our minority shareholding in Marlowe. There was no gain or loss as a result of this settlement.

Service Mark Agreement

The Company and SNSA
were parties to an agreement under which we were granted the right to use the Stolt name and logo, without payment of any royalty. However, because SNSA sold its interest in us, we were obliged to change our name and logo at SNSAs request. It
was agreed with SNSA that the name and logo could be used until August 31, 2006. We changed our name from Stolt Offshore S.A. to Acergy S.A., effective on April 10, 2006.

Other Matters

We routinely engage in
transactions with a range of other related parties whose relationship with us arises through the joint ventures discussed above in  Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsInvestments in and Advances to Non-consolidated Joint Ventures.

Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). In lieu of the requirements of Rule 4350(c)(4), we follow generally accepted business practices in Luxembourg, which do not have rules governing the composition of the nomination committee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as of the date of this report, each of our governance and nomination committee members satisfied the independence requirements established by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 4350(d)(2)(A), we follow generally accepted business practices in Luxembourg,

(executive sessions). In lieu of the requirements under Rule 4350(c)(2), we follow generally accepted business practices in Luxembourg, which do not have rules requiring regularly scheduled executive sessions and therefore permit
the attendance at such executive sessions of directors that are not independent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date of this report, each of our directors attending executive sessions satisfied the independence
requirements established by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

Incentive Plans

We have a performance bonus plan, a deferred bonus plan, and a retention bonus plan which
provide for annual cash awards to officers and employees. During the fiscal year 2007, the Group also has the SMIP, which provided for a combination of cash and shares, subject to strict performance criteria, for key staff.

Performance Bonus

The performance bonus plan
provides a pool for annual cash rewards to employees based on segmental financial and operating performance. The determination of an employees individual award will be based on salary and individual performance measured against set criteria.
The compensation committee of the Board of Directors administers this plan. A charge was recorded of $22.9 million (2006: $23.8 million) for compensation expense arising from the performance bonus plan in respect of fiscal year 2007. The decrease of
$0.9 million over fiscal year 2006 is attributable to decrease in performance by our segments, being Acergy Asia and Middle East, Acergy North America and Mexico and Acergy South America in fiscal year 2007.

Deferred Bonus

On February 28, 2007, a
deferred bonus scheme was introduced for certain employees in our Corporate Management Team. This scheme allows the employee to defer 50% of their annual performance bonus for a period of three years at the end of which the employee is entitled to
receive the original deferred amount plus an additional amount equivalent to the original deferral. A similar scheme was also introduced on April 30, 2007, for all employees in middle management whereby they have been given the option to defer
up to 25% of their bonus for a period of two years at the end of which the employee is entitled to receive the original deferred amount plus an additional amount equivalent to the original deferral. A charge was recorded for the deferred bonus
scheme in fiscal year 2007 of $5.1 million.

Retention bonus

On June 1, 2006, a retention bonus scheme was introduced for all key employees and middle management. This two-year scheme provides for a one time lump sum payment so long as the employee remains in service and
has not given notice of their intention to leave on September 30, 2008. The retention bonus lump sum payment

will range between one to three month salary based on the employees key criteria as determined at the introduction of the scheme. A charge was recorded
for the retention bonus scheme in fiscal year 2007 of $7.1 million for our retention bonus scheme (2006: $2.7 million; 2005: $nil).

Senior
Management Incentive Plan (SMIP)

As a condition of the new bonding facility agreement finalized in 2004, there was a
requirement to put in place a Key Staff Retention Plan (KSRP), now called the SMIP, in order to secure the services of certain senior executives through to the first quarter of 2007. The SMIP provided for deferred compensation as a
combination of cash and performance-based share options, linked to the attainment of a number of strategic objectives for each of the fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006. The objectives fixed in the plan, and agreed by the Board Compensation Committee,
included targets for net profit, management team retention, bonding lines, internal controls over accounting and audit activities, business growth and restructuring. During the fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee determined that 98.3% of
the objectives had been met and therefore the performance-based share options vested on February 28, 2007 and the cash compensation indicated below was paid.

The cash element of the SMIP has been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies, and the share option element has been accounted for in accordance with SFAS
No. 123(R) Share Based Payments from the date of adoption of that standard on December 1, 2005. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) the share option element was accounted for as a variable plan under APB No. 25
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As SFAS No. 123(R) was adopted using the modified prospective method no restatement of previously issued results was required.

The cumulative amount accrued in respect of the cash compensation element of the SMIP for fiscal year 2007 was $4.9 million (2006: $4.7 million; 2005:
$3.0 million), which was settled during fiscal year 2007.

The cumulative amount charged in respect of the options element of the SMIP as
at November 30, 2007 was $13.6 million (2006: $13.4 million; 2005: $12.1 million). This represents a cumulative charge under SFAS No. 123(R) as at November 30, 2007 of $1.5 million (2006: $1.3 million) which was based on the fair
value of the options at the date of grant at the inception of the SMIP. The remaining cumulative charge of $12.1 million (2006: $12.1 million), calculated in accordance with APB No. 25, is based on the difference between the exercise price of
$2.30 per share and our share price as of November 30, 2005, the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), of $10.41 (2004: $5.86). The options under the SMIP are exercisable until ten years after the date of grant.

Share Option Plans

We administer a share
option plan approved in April 2003 (the 2003 Plan). An option plan for key directors and employees resident in France (the French Plan), is a sub-plan under the 2003 Plan. Options granted under the SMIP, previously named the
Key Staff Retention Plan (see Notes 23 and 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), were issued under the 2003 Plan.

A Compensation
Committee appointed by the Board of Directors administers these plans. Options are awarded at the discretion of the Compensation Committee to directors and key employees.

Under the 2003 Plan options on up to but not exceeding 6.3 million common shares can be granted. This plan replaced the previous plan (the 1993 Plan). Any options granted under the French Plan count
against this limit. Other than options granted under the SMIP, options under the 2003 Plan (and therefore also under the French Plan) may be granted and are exercisable for periods of up to ten years at an exercise price not less than the fair
market value per share at the time the option is granted. Such options vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date, with an additional 25% vesting on each subsequent anniversary. Share options exercises are satisfied by either issuing new
shares or reissuing treasury shares. The key terms of options granted under the SMIP are described in Note 24 Compensation and reward to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

##### Table of Contents

At our 2008 Annual General Meeting, we sought approval for a proposal to increase the maximum number of
common shares available under the 2003 Plan to 10% of our total number of outstanding common shares. This proposal was rejected by a majority of voting shareholders.

As of May 19, 2008, although the number of vested options that have been exercised to date into common shares has remained below the amount authorized by the 2003 Plan, the total number of options outstanding
exceeds by approximately 1.3 million the number authorized by the 2003 Plan and approved by the shareholders. We have been advised that, under Luxembourg law, these excess options are valid but that we may be unable to deliver shares upon
exercise of such excess options unless shareholder approval to increase the number of available shares under the 2003 Plan is first obtained. We had also granted approximately 1.1 million options in 2008 subject to shareholders approval.
We are exploring the possibility of seeking shareholder approval, prior to the date on which any excess options would vest, for a lesser increase to the maximum number of shares available under the 2003 Plan than was proposed to the 2008 Annual
General Meeting. If such shareholder approval cannot be obtained in a timely fashion, we will explore other alternatives to address this situation.

Options were granted during fiscal year 2007 pursuant to which 52,000 common shares can be issued (2006: 943,000), which included 22,000 options (2006: 183,000) granted under the French Plan.

The following tables reflect total options activity, including the SMIP:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised, being the excess of the quoted market price of our
stock at the exercise date over the option exercise price, in fiscal year 2007 was $54.1 million (2006: $17.2 million; 2005: $8.4 million). The total fair value of share options vested in fiscal year 2007 was $6.2 million (2006: $4.2 million; 2005
$2.5 million).

During fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee determined that 98.3% of the objectives under the SMIP had been met and
therefore the performance-based share options vested and became exercisable on February 28, 2007. The unvested options were subsequently forfeited. Of the options outstanding as of November 30, 2007, but not yet exercisable, nil options
(2006: 0.5 million; 2005: 1.2 million) had performance criteria attached that need to be fulfilled before they can be exercised.

The fair
value of each share option grant is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with certain assumptions set forth in Note 23 Share option plans to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The total compensation costs for share-based arrangement for fiscal year 2007 was $7.3 million (2006:
$6.2 million; 2005: $9.5 million). The total compensation cost not yet recognized in relation to non-vested share options as at November 30, 2007 was $6.0 million (2006: $12.6 million) and was expected to be recognized over the weighted-average
period of 2.7 years (2006: 3.4 years).

The outstanding options are exercisable at their respective prices set forth below and expire as
indicated, as of April 30, 2008:

The table includes options granted as part of the 1998 acquisition of the former Ceanic which have
all been converted into Acergy S.A. common share options.

Vesting upon Change of Control

The 2003 Plan and the French Plan provide that all of an optionholders options will vest if, within one year following the occurrence of certain
change of control events, the optionholders employment or service is terminated. These change of control events include: (i) the acquisition by any person unaffiliated with us of 20.0% or more of our voting securities, (ii) our
shareholders or directors approve the merger of Acergy with another corporation, in which Acergy is not the surviving entity, and (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the
Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof without the approval of at least two thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period, or who were previously so
approved.

A significant number of our offshore employees are represented by labor unions. As part of the
normal course of business, a number of union agreements came up for annual renegotiation in 2007. We believe that we maintain a good relationship with our employees and their unions. In addition, many workers, including most of our divers, are hired
on a contract basis and are available on short notice.

The increase in permanent employees in our Africa and Mediterranean segment in
fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006 was primarily driven by increase in the number of projects executed in the segment during the period. The decrease in permanent employees in our Asia and Middle East segment in fiscal year 2007 compared
to fiscal year 2006 was mainly as a result of the reduced activity of IMR projects in the segment during the period.

##### Table of Contents

The information provided above was compiled from publicly available information and data provided by
third parties and accordingly we are not able to confirm the accuracy of this information. We are not able to determine the number of record holders in Luxembourg or the number of common shares held in Luxembourg. The numbers provided were compiled
from publicly available information filed with the SEC and returns filed with Verdipapirsentralen (VPS), the Norwegian Central Securities Depository, as of April 30, 2008.

As of April 30, 2008, all of our 194,953,972 common shares were registered in the VPS, in the names of 1,534 shareholders. Excluding outstanding
common shares registered in the name of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as depositary for the ADSs and treasury shares, held by one of our subsidiaries, it is estimated that the free float of common shares on Oslo Børs was 152,547,531 as
of April 30, 2008.

Related Party Transactions

Relationship with SNSA

Related party transactions included the amounts paid to and received from SNSA up to January 13, 2005, the date SNSA sold its remaining shareholding
in the Company. Consequently, they were no longer a related party for fiscal years 2007 and 2006.

Corporate Services Agreement

Pursuant to a corporate services agreement, during fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, SNSA supplied, through a subsidiary, risk management and other
services. The fee for these services was subject to negotiation and agreement with SNSA on an annual basis.

During fiscal year 2005 SNSA
supplied risk management services between December 1, 2004 and January 13, 2005. In addition and, until the end of June 2005, accounting services were provided to us for a lump sum fee and partly for an annual fee based on costs incurred
in rendering those services. The fees for these management services were $0.3 million for the period to January 13, 2005. The fees were included as a component of SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other (Receipts) Charges

In addition to the
above corporate services, SNSA provided various other services to us, including certain types of insurance coverage, payroll administration, and information technology. SNSA received a reimbursement of cost of insurance premiums of $2.4 million and
a charge of total service fees of $0.5 million mainly related to management services during fiscal year 2005. These fees were included as a component of SG&A expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Captive Insurance Company

SNSA owns Marlowe, a Bermuda captive insurance company, through which certain of our interests were insured. A wholly-owned subsidiary of SNSA owns all of the common stock of Marlowe and we own one class of non-voting
preference shares. In light of SNSAs sale of its holdings of our stock which was completed on January 13, 2005 we ceased to acquire insurance from or through Marlowe with effect from the expiration of the various insurance policies placed
with or through Marlowe. As of November 30, 2007 we had settled our account with Marlowe and disposed of our minority shareholding in Marlowe. There was no gain or loss as a result of this settlement.

Intercompany Payments

The table below sets
out our related party payments to and receipts from SNSA and its subsidiaries for fiscal year 2005. There were no related party payments to and receipts from SNSA and its subsidiaries for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 because, as of January 13,
2005, SNSA is no longer a related party.

No long-lived asset impairment charges were recorded by our joint ventures during fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Taxation in
respect of joint ventures, which have a legal status of partnership, has been included in the results of the relevant subsidiaries, which hold the investments in the joint ventures. Undistributed reserves of all other joint ventures will not be
taxed on distribution.

Dividend Distributions

In fiscal year 2007 we received a total of $40.6 million in dividends from seven joint ventures (three with Subsea 7, and one from each of the following: NKT Flexibles, MPG, Kingfisher D.A. and SHL).

In fiscal year 2006 we received a total of $14.8 million in dividends from three joint ventures (two with Subsea 7 and one with MPG).

Increase in Investment

In fiscal year 2007,
we and our joint venture partner K&S Baltic Offshore (Cyprus) Limited, increased our investment in SHL to contribute to the construction of the new ship Oleg Strashnov. Our contribution was $34.4 million. $0.1 million was also invested in
a new joint venture Oceon with our joint venture partner Petrolog Engineering Services Ltd in Nigeria.

In fiscal year 2006, further investments were undertaken in two new joint ventures with SapuraCrest
Petroleum, in Acergy Asia and Middle-East. Our investment in the entity owning the ship being built, the Sapura 3000was $11.0 million and an additional $0.5 million in the operating entity.

Reclassification of Negative Equity Balance as Liabilities

We accrue losses in excess of the investment value when we are committed to provide ongoing financial support to the joint venture. The Groups share of any net liabilities of joint ventures is classified in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We recorded $1.5 million in fiscal year 2007 in respect of our share of liabilities, $1.0 million for SapuraAcergy due to financing activities, $0.4 million for Oceon is related to joint venture commencement
cost and $0.1 million for MPG was a close-out cost (2006: $nil).

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

We report the Groups share of the movement in fair values of forward contracts taken out during fiscal years 2005 to 2007 by the Dalia joint venture
in our Consolidated Financial Statements under the line item Change in Fair Value of derivative Instruments. This has been reported through other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities as hedge accounting criteria have been met. In fiscal year 2007 all hedges matured.

Impact of Currency
Translation

We report the impact of translation of investments in the equity of joint ventures which have a functional currency
other than the U.S. dollar in our Consolidated Financial Statements under the line item Impact of Currency Translation. For fiscal year 2007, this related mainly to NKT Flexibles and Acergy/Subsea 7.

Transactions with Directors, Officers and Employees

The Articles of Incorporation provide that any Director who has a personal interest in a transaction must disclose such interest, must abstain from voting on such transaction and may not be counted for purposes of determining whether a
quorum is present at the meeting of the Board of Directors at which the matter is considered. Such Directors interest in any such transaction must be reported at the next general meeting of shareholders. A Director who owns less than 5.0% of
our capital stock or of the other party whose transaction with us is being submitted to the Board of Directors for its approval is not subject to the provisions of this paragraph.

In compliance with Nasdaq Global Select Market corporate governance rules all related party transactions are reported to the Audit Committee for
approval.

Legal Proceedings

Tax Audits

In the ordinary course of events our operations will be subject to audit, enquiry and possible re-assessment by different tax authorities. In accordance with applicable accounting rules relating to contingencies we
provide taxes for the amounts that we consider probable of being payable as a result of these audits and for which a reasonable estimate may be made. We also separately consider if taxes payable in relation to filings not yet subject to audit may be
higher than the amounts stated in the filed tax return, and make additional provisions for

probable risks if appropriate. As forecasting the ultimate outcome includes some uncertainty, the risk exists that adjustments will be recognized to our tax
provisions in later years as and when these and other matters are finalized with the appropriate tax authorities.

In fiscal year 2007, we
accrued a net tax charge of $49 million (excluding interest which was reflected as an interest expense) in respect of ongoing tax audits ($26 million) and the review of uncertain tax positions undertaken in the year ($23 million). In accordance with
the provisions of FAS 109(9)(e), an additional amount of $10.8 million in respect of tax on intra-Group transfers of assets was deferred as prepayments in the balance sheet.

While we made the incremental provision noted in the preceding paragraph, reflecting our view of the most likely outcomes, it is possible that the
ultimate resolution of these matters could result in tax charges that are materially higher or lower than the amount we have provided.

In
2007, our operations in various countries were subject to enquiries, audits and disputes, including but not limited to those in France, Netherlands, UK, United States, Norway, Indonesia and Congo. These audits are all at various stages of
completion. The incremental adjustment arising from these tax investigations was an additional provision of $36.8 million (2006: $0.5 million) including penalties but excluding interest. In accordance with the provisions of FAS 109(9)(e), of the
incremental provision of $36.8 million, an amount of $10.8 million (tax and penalties) relating to intercompany transfers of depreciable assets, has been recorded in prepaid expenses in our consolidated balance sheet and not charged to the
consolidated statement of operations. Under FAS 109(9)(e), these prepaid expenses will be amortized to the consolidated statement of operations over the useful life of the underlying assets. This incremental provision arises from both adjustments
that we have agreed with the relevant tax authorities and changes that we have made to amount probable of being paid in two countries, the Netherlands and France. Our operating entities in these countries have co-operated fully with the relevant tax
authorities while seeking to defend their tax positions. The audit in the Netherlands was resolved in fiscal year 2007 and covered the fiscal years between 2000 and 2004. The audit in France, which commenced in February 2007, has continued into
fiscal year 2008. The tax audit in France involves several legal entities and initially covered the fiscal years from 2004 to 2006. However, the audit scope has effectively been extended to fiscal year 2000 by way of a challenge to our utilization
of losses brought forward. In addition, the French tax authorities have adopted a very wide ranging approach and have raised a number of challenges including both international tax issues such as transfer pricing and territoriality as well as more
routine domestic French matters. This has created added complexity and uncertainty, and has caused us to reassess our estimates of the eventual probable outcome and increase our pre-existing provision for French taxes. It may be necessary to defend
our tax filings in court if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached with the French tax authorities.

In addition to the tax audit noted
above, in October 2007, the French tax authorities also conducted a formal search of our French subsidiarys offices in Paris. The documents authorizing the search claim that we had inaccurately reported to the French tax authorities the extent
of our activities and revenues in France in an effort to minimize French taxes. We will defend our tax positions and have appealed the authorization to search to the French Supreme Court.

During 2007, in preparation for the possible adoption of FIN 48 next year, management also completed a detailed review of uncertain tax positions across
the Group. Although we do not now have to adopt FIN 48 because of our transition from U.S. GAAP to IFRS with effect from December 1, 2007, the information gathered during this review was used in quantifying the best estimate of the probable
liability accrued under SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies as at November 30, 2007. The principal risks identified during this review were issues that arise in respect of permanent establishment, transfer pricing and other
similar international tax issues. In common with other international groups, the conflict between the Groups global operating model and the jurisdictional approach of taxing authorities often leads to uncertainty on tax positions. Based on
this review, management has revised its estimate of the most probable liability and has accrued additional taxes of $23 million excluding interest. In addition to those liabilities deemed probable, we also identified other uncertain tax positions
which are considered less than probable but more than remote. Currently no provision is carried for these additional risk items.

In the UK, an enquiry was started with respect to our UK ship owning companies and the amount of profits
allocated to transport activities and therefore eligible for tonnage tax treatment. Under the UK tonnage tax regime the commercial profits of our UK ship owning companies arising from transport operations (allocated on a just and reasonable basis)
are subject to tax calculated by reference to a formula linked to the tonnage of the vessels concerned. The enquiry covers fiscal year 2003 but is expected to extend into later fiscal years during the course of 2008. While we consider it possible
that a liability will arise, currently no provision has been accrued for this risk. We cannot reasonably estimate the risk at this stage and the eventual resolution and quantification of this contingency will be influenced by the recently announced
changes to the UK tonnage tax regime.

The cumulative benefit for all fiscal years to November 30, 2007 arising from being within the
UK tonnage tax regime since fiscal year 2002 is $11.6 million, excluding the total release of the deferred tax liability on ships of $36 million in the fiscal years ended November 30, 2001 and 2002. Had we not been (wholly or partially) within
the UK tonnage tax regime, it is likely that additional accelerated capital allowances would have been available on fixed asset additions to reduce the immediate cash tax cost of any successful challenge by the UK tax authorities. However this would
have increased our total deferred tax liability.

For more information about these proceedings, please refer to Note 12 Income
tax to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsLegal,
Regulatory and Insurance Matters for additional information on legal proceedings.

Dividend Policy

The Company paid a dividend of $0.20 per common share on June 14, 2007, the first
dividend payment since inception in 1993. The Board of Directors has resolved to recommend the payment of a dividend with respect to fiscal year 2007 of $0.21 per common share, which was approved at the Annual General Meeting on May 23, 2008.
We believe this signifies a continued maturity of our business and reflects our confidence in the future of our sector.

Significant Changes

Except as otherwise disclosed in Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and
ProspectsSubsequent Events and elsewhere in this Report, there has been no material change in our financial position since November 30, 2007.

##### Table of Contents

Articles of Incorporation

Set forth below is a description of the material provisions of our Articles of
Incorporation and the Luxembourg Company Law. The following summary is qualified by reference to the Articles of Incorporation and applicable Luxembourg law.

Objective and Purposes

Article 3 of the Articles of Incorporation sets forth our objective as a holding company,
namely to invest in subsidiaries which will provide subsea construction, maintenance, inspection, survey and engineering services, predominantly for the offshore oil and gas industry. More generally, we may participate in any manner in all
commercial, industrial, financial and other enterprises of Luxembourg or foreign nationality through the acquisition by participation, subscription, purchase, option or by other means of all shares, stocks, debentures, bonds or securities; the
acquisition of patents and licenses which we will administer and exploit; we may lend or borrow with or without security, provided that any money so borrowed may only be used for the purposes of Acergy or companies that are subsidiaries of or
associated with or affiliated with Acergy; and in general to undertake any operations directly or indirectly connected with such objects as permitted by the Luxembourg Holding Company Law of 1929.

Directors

Under the Articles of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors is to be comprised of not less than three members, elected by a simple majority of our outstanding shares represented at a general meeting of shareholders for a period not exceeding six years and until their
successors are elected and at least three directors have accepted. It is our customary practice that directors are elected for terms of one year at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held each year in Luxembourg.

The Articles of Incorporation do not mandate the retirement of directors under an age limit requirement. The Articles of Incorporation do not require
Board members to be shareholders.

Under Luxembourg law the members of the Board owe a duty of loyalty and care. They must exercise the
standard of care of a prudent and diligent business person.

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that any director who has a personal
interest in a transaction must disclose such interest, must abstain from voting on such transaction and may not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting. Such directors interest in any such transaction
shall be reported at the next general meeting of shareholders. A director who owns less than 5.0% of our capital stock or of the other party whose transaction with us is being submitted to our Board of Directors for its approval is not subject to
the provisions of this paragraph.

Authorized Shares

Our authorized share capital consists of 230,000,000 common shares, par value $2.00 per share. According to our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors, or delegate(s) duly appointed by our Board of
Directors, are authorized to issue additional common shares, at such times and on such terms and conditions, including issue price, as our Board of Directors or its delegates may in its or their discretion resolve, up to a maximum of 230,000,000
common shares (less the amount of common shares already issued at such time), par value $2.00 per share. When doing so, our Board of Directors may suppress the preferential subscription rights of our existing shareholders to the extent it deems
advisable. This authorization granted to the Board of Directors shall lapse five years after publication of the amendment of our Articles of Incorporation in the Luxembourg Official Gazette-Memorial C. The amendments of the Articles of Incorporation
regarding the above quoted authorized capital were approved at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on May 27, 2004 and publication of such amendment in the Official Gazette occurred on August 17, 2004. From time to time we take
such steps that are required to continue the authorized capital in effect.



101



---

##### Table of Contents

The Articles of Incorporation require all shares to be issued in registered form. All shares, when
issued, were fully paid and non-assessable.

According to our Articles of Incorporation, there are also authorized 1,500,000 class A
shares, par value $2.00 per share. Such Class A shares have been authorized for the sole purpose of options granted under our existing stock option plans in respect of our shares, and may not be used for any other purpose. The rights,
preferences and priorities of such class A shares are set forth in our Articles of Incorporation. All such class A shares shall convert to common shares immediately upon issuance. The maximum amount of shares to be issued under this
authorization are included in the above noted maximum amount of common shares to be issued. Such authorized class A shares shall exist only until December 31, 2010 and shall expire, without further action, on such date.

Authority to Acquire Own Shares (Treasury Shares)

At the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on May 25, 2007, the resolutions passed by the shareholders authorized us, or any wholly owned subsidiary, to acquire common shares from time to time in the open market and in privately
negotiated transactions, at a price reflecting such open market price and on such other terms as shall be determined by the Board, provided such purchases are in conformity with Article 49-2 of the Luxembourg Company Law. The authorization was
granted for purchases completed on or before August 31, 2009. Such authorizations have customarily been renewed at our Annual General Meetings of shareholders.

The Board authorization is not limited to a certain amount of common shares, however, Luxembourg Company Law generally requires that we may not hold more than 10% of our own shares. Furthermore, we may not purchase
our own shares if and to the extent this will reduce our net assets below the aggregate of our share capital and legal reserve.

On
September 11, 2006, the Group announced the commencement of its share buyback program up to a maximum of 10% of the Companys issued share capital, pursuant to the standing authorization granted to the Board at the Annual General Meeting
held on May 15, 2006 for a maximum aggregate consideration of $300 million. As of November 30, 2007, the Group had repurchased 8,098,625 (2006: 914,800) common shares for a total consideration of $146.8 million (2006: $16.5 million). For
more information relating to our share buyback program and repurchases made thereunder, please see Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers below.

Under applicable provisions of the Luxembourg Company Law, these common shares held as treasury shares remain issued but are not entitled to vote. In
computing earnings per common share, these shares are not considered part of outstanding common shares. The cost of these shares is being accounted for as a deduction from shareholders equity.

Preferential Subscription Rights (Pre-emptive Rights)

As a general rule, shareholders are entitled to preferential subscription rights under Luxembourg law in respect of the issuance of shares for cash. When issuing new shares out of the total authorized shares, the Board may, however,
suppress the preferential subscription rights of shareholders to the extent it deems advisable. As a general rule, shareholders are entitled to preemptive rights under Luxembourg law in respect of the issuance of shares for cash, unless the Articles
of Incorporation provide otherwise. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to deny shareholders preemptive rights for a period of five years and the Board of Directors has done so with respect to all authorized but
unissued common shares. Upon the expiration of authorized but unissued shares as described above, the suppression of preemptive rights will also terminate and shareholders will be entitled to preemptive rights once again unless the Board recommends
denying further such rights and such recommendation is approved by the shareholders. As a result, common shares will be entitled to preemptive rights after August 17, 2009. The authorization by our Articles of Incorporation to issue new shares
out of the total authorized shares granted to the Board will remain in effect until August 17, 2009. Upon the



102

##### Table of Contents

expiration of this authorization, the suppression of preferential subscription rights will also terminate and shareholders will be entitled to preferential
subscription rights once again unless the Board recommends the renewal of the authorization granted to it or denies the preferential subscription rights of shareholders and such recommendation is approved by the shareholders in accordance with
Luxembourg law.

Voting Rights

Each of our shares is entitled to one vote. Shareholders holding shares registered in the VPS, the central depository of Oslo Børs, or other such depository may attend and vote at our general meetings. Under Luxembourg law,
shareholder action can generally be taken by a simple majority of common shares present or represented at a meeting, without regard to any minimum quorum requirements. Three exceptions to the law are (i) to amend the Articles of Incorporation
which requires (x) a two-thirds vote of those common shares present or represented, and (y) when the meeting is first convened, a quorum of 50% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; (ii) to change our country of incorporation to
a country other than Luxembourg or to increase the contribution of the shareholders, which require the affirmative vote of 100% of the common shares; and (iii) any action for which the Articles of Incorporation require more than a majority vote
or a quorum.

Shareholder Meetings and Notice

Under the Articles of Incorporation, we are required to hold a general meeting of shareholders in Luxembourg each year, on the fourth Friday in May. In addition, the Board may call any number of extraordinary general
meetings, which may be held in Luxembourg or elsewhere, although any extraordinary general meeting convened to amend the Articles of Incorporation will be held in Luxembourg. The Board is further obliged to call a general meeting of shareholders to
be held within thirty days after receipt of a written demand therefore by shareholders representing at least one-tenth of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote thereat. Such shareholders may also require additions to the proposed agenda
of any meeting of shareholders.

The Articles of Incorporation require notice of any general meeting to be sent by first class mail,
postage prepaid, or via e-mail if such address has been indicated, to all shareholders at least twenty days prior to such meeting. Shareholders may be represented by written proxy, provided the written proxy is deposited with us at our registered
office in Luxembourg, or with any director, at least five days before the meeting.

Dividends

Interim dividends can be declared in any fiscal year by the Board. Interim dividends can be paid, but only six months after the close of preceding fiscal
year and after the prior years financial statements have been approved by the shareholders at a general meeting.

Other Luxembourg
legal requirements apply to the payment of interim dividends. The satisfaction of all legal requirements must be certified by an independent auditor. Final dividends are declared once a year at the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders. Interim
and final dividends on common shares can be paid out of earnings, retained and current, as well as paid in surplus after satisfaction of the legal reserve as referred to hereinafter.

Luxembourg law authorizes the payment of stock dividends if sufficient surplus exists to pay for the par value of the shares issued in connection with
any stock dividend.

Luxembourg law requires that 5.0% of unconsolidated net profit each year be allocated to a legal reserve before
declaration of dividends. This requirement continues until the reserve is 10.0% of our issued capital, after which no further allocations are required until further issuance of shares.

The legal reserve may also be satisfied by allocation of the required amount at the time of issuance of shares or by a transfer from paid-in surplus. The
legal reserve is not available for dividends. The legal reserve for all existing common shares has been satisfied to date and appropriate allocations will be made to the legal reserve account at the time of each new issuance of common shares.

##### Table of Contents

Liquidation Preference

Under the Articles of Incorporation, in the event of liquidation, all debts and obligations must first be paid, and thereafter all remaining assets are to be paid to the holders of common shares.

Restrictions on Shareholders

Our Articles of
Incorporation provide that in recognition of the fact that certain shareholdings may threaten us with imminent and grave damage, which term we understand is likely to include adverse tax consequences, a hostile takeover attempt or
adverse governmental sanctions, (i) no U.S. Person (as defined in our Articles of Incorporation) shall own, directly or indirectly, more than 9.9% of our outstanding shares, (ii) all shareholders of any single country may not own, directly
or indirectly, more than 49.9% of our outstanding shares, and (iii) no person may own, directly or indirectly, more than 20.0% of our outstanding shares unless a majority of the Board shall have authorized such shareholding in advance.

The Articles of Incorporation provide that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any person who was a shareholder as at
March 10, 1993, or certain Affiliates or Associates (as such terms are defined in the Articles of Incorporation) of such person.

In
addition, according to the Articles of Incorporation, the Board is authorized to restrict, reduce or prevent the ownership of our shares if it appears to the Board that such ownership may threaten us with imminent and grave damage. We
have been advised by our Luxembourg counsel, Elvinger, Hoss & Prussen, that there are no Luxembourg judicial interpretations of such phrase, but that situations involving hostile takeovers, adverse tax consequences to us or governmental
sanctions are likely to be among the situations covered by that phrase.

In order to enforce the foregoing restrictions, the Articles of
Incorporation empower the Board to take certain remedial action including causing us: (i) to decline to register any prohibited transfer; (ii) to decline to recognize any vote of a shareholder precluded from holding shares; (iii) to
require any shareholder on our register of shareholders or any prospective shareholder to provide information to determine whether such person is precluded from holding shares; and (iv) upon the issuance of a notice, to require the sale of
shares to us at the lesser of (a) the amount paid for the shares if acquired within the twelve months immediately preceding the date of the notice, and (b) the last quoted sale price for the shares on the day immediately preceding the day
on which the notice is served (provided that the Board of Directors may in its discretion pay the amount calculated under (b) in situations where (a) would otherwise apply and result in a lower purchase price, if the Board determines it
equitable after taking into account specified factors); and to remove the name of any shareholder from the register of shareholders immediately after the close of business on the day the notice is issued and payment is made available. The foregoing
defensive measures may have the effect of making more difficult a merger involving us, or a tender offer, open-market purchase program or other purchase of our shares, in circumstances that could give shareholders the opportunity to realize a
premium over the then prevailing market price for their shares.

There are no limitations currently imposed by Luxembourg law on the rights
of non-resident shareholders to hold or vote their shares.

Change in Control

Except as described above, there are no provisions in our Articles of Incorporation that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of Acergy and that would only operate with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructure involving us or any of our subsidiaries. However, it should be noted that the 2003 Plan and the French Plan provide that all
options issued thereunder will vest upon the occurrence of certain change of control events. See Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and EmployeesIncentive PlansVesting upon Change of Control.

Mandatory Bid Requirements

The Articles of Incorporation do not contain any provision requiring a shareholder who reaches a
certain threshold of shares to make a mandatory bid for our other outstanding shares. However, applicable stock exchange regulations may do so. In addition, Luxembourg law applicable to us requires a mandatory bid by a shareholder, or shareholders
acting in concert, if such person or persons aggregate 331/3of the voting power in a company.

Material Contracts

The following descriptions of the material provisions of the referenced agreements do not
purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the agreements which have been filed as exhibits to this Report and are incorporated by reference herein.

The $400 Million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Guarantee Facility

In fiscal year 2006, the revolving credit and guarantee facility was increased from $350 million to $400 million with the existing consortium of banks and the maturity was extended until August 10, 2011. The
sub-limit for cash drawings was reduced to $100 million from $175 million. The mortgages over the secured ships were released, the provisions in the agreement relating to the security removed and the guarantee significantly simplified to offer a
guarantee of the loan by Acergy S.A. only. Explicit restrictions on investments and additional financing were removed, pricing was improved, and the facility was restated in a market standard form.

The facility is used for general corporate purposes including the financing of ships, and includes the issuance of guarantees to support contract
performance obligations and other operating requirements. It provides for revolving loans of up to $100 million during the first three years, reducing to $75 million for the fourth year and further reducing to $50 million for the fifth year until
the final date of maturity of August 10, 2011. Any unused amount under the revolving loan part of the facility is available for the issuance of guarantees as described in Note 15 Long-term debt to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. As of April 30, 2008, there were no revolving loans drawn and $315.6 million was utilized for performance guarantees.

The
facility contains certain financial covenants in respect of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum level of net debt to EBITDA, a maximum level of total financial debt to tangible net worth, a minimum level of cash and cash equivalents and
an interest cover covenant. We must meet the requirements of the financial covenants on a consolidated basis in quarterly intervals ending on the last day of February, May, August and November of each year.

In addition to the financial covenants listed above, the facility also contains negative pledges with respect to accounts receivable and cash and
includes representations, affirmative covenants and negative covenants which are customary for transactions of this nature and consistent with past practice. Such covenants specifically limit mergers or transfers, incurrence of other indebtedness,
investments and loans, distributions to shareholders and cash and cash equivalents that are permitted to be held by non-obligors.

The
facility also covers events of default which include payment defaults (subject to a three day grace period), breach of financial covenants, breach of other obligations, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency proceedings, insolvency
events, illegality, unenforceability, conditions subsequent, curtailment of business, claims against an obligors assets, appropriation of an obligors assets, final judgments, cross-defaults to other indebtedness in excess of $5.0
million, failure to maintain exchange listing, material adverse effect, auditors qualification, repudiation and material litigation.

For a further description of the risks relating to and for further information regarding the $400 million amended and restated revolving credit and guarantee facility, see Item 3. Key informationRisk FactorsFinancial
Risks and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsDescription of IndebtednessThe $400 Million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Guarantee Facility.

The $500 million 2.25 per cent Convertible Notes due 2013

In October 2006, we issued $500 million of convertible notes with net proceeds of $490.8 million after deduction of related costs.

The convertible notes have an annual interest rate of 2.25% payable semi-annually in arrears on April 11 and October 11 of each year
up to and including fiscal year 2013. They were issued at 100% of their principal amount and unless previously redeemed, converted or cancelled will mature on October 11, 2013. The convertible notes are listed on the Euro MTF Market of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The convertible notes are convertible into our common shares with the revised conversion price of $23.80
equivalent to 20,790,021 common shares, or approximately 10.6% of our existing issued share capital as of November 30, 2007. The conversion price will be adjusted in line with market practices for this type of instrument to provide fair
value adjustments such as payment of dividends and events like a change of control which can affect materially the marketability, liquidity or volatility of our common shares.

We also have an exercisable option which permits us to call the convertible notes after 4 years and 14 days from the date of issue if the price of our
common shares exceeds 130% of the then prevailing conversion price over a specified period.

The convertible notes also include the
following: they are unsecured but with a negative pledge provision in respect of other current and future property or asset to ensure that the convertible notes will rank equally with other debt issuances; a cross default provision subject to a
minimum threshold of $10 million; and other events of default in connection with non-payment of the convertible notes; various undertakings in connection with the term of any further issuance of common shares, continuance of the listing of the
common shares and the convertible notes on recognized stock exchanges; and customary provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price.

There were no conversions of these convertible notes as at November 30, 2007.

The $200 Million Guarantee Facility

On February 26, 2008 we executed a new $200 million multi-currency revolving guarantee facility with a number of banks from the existing
consortium of banks that is providing the $400 million amended and restated revolving credit and guarantee facility. The facility is secured by a guarantee from Acergy S.A. only.

The facility is to be used for the issuance of performance guarantees in the ordinary course of our business. The facility has a maturity date of
February 26, 2013, however, performance guarantees can be issued with a maturity no later than August 26, 2014.

The facility
contains certain financial covenants in respect of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum level of net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a maximum level of total financial debt to
tangible net worth, a minimum level of cash and cash equivalents and an interest cover covenant. We must meet the requirements of the financial covenants on a consolidated basis at quarterly intervals ending February 28, May 31,
August 31 and November 30 of each year. In addition to the financial covenants listed above, the facility also contains negative pledges with respect to accounts receivable and cash and includes representations, affirmative
covenants and negative covenants and events of defaults which are customary for transactions of this nature and consistent with past practice. Such covenants specifically limit mergers or transfers, incurrence of other indebtedness, investments and
loans, distributions to shareholders and cash and cash equivalents that are permitted to be held by non-obligors.

The fee applicable for
performance guarantees is linked to the ratio of our net debt to EBITDA and may range from 0.45% per year to 1.00% per year and is currently fixed at 0.45% subject to review every three months.

Taxation

Luxembourg Taxation

The following is intended only as a general summary of material tax considerations affecting dividend payments by us relevant to prospective investors. It does not constitute and should not be construed to constitute
legal or tax advice to any such investor. Prospective investors are therefore urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances. Double taxation treaties may contain rules affecting the description in this
summary.

Luxembourg Taxation of Acergy

We are a company incorporated under Luxembourg law, and as such we continue to enjoy until December 31, 2010 the special tax status granted to billionaire holding companies under the Law of July 31, 1929 and
the Grand Ducal Decree of December 17, 1938. These companies can carry out a limited number of activities, including the holding of shares and securities and the financing of affiliated companies.

As a billionaire holding company, we are not subject to any income tax, municipal tax, wealth tax or withholding tax (except for a contribution tax of 1%
on issues of share capital) in Luxembourg and are not subject to the subscription tax for holding companies.

The Group is subject to a
special tax which is assessed on certain payments we make. An annual tax on all amounts paid by us on interest payments made on bonds or debentures issued by us would be levied at the rate of 3.0% on such interest payment. Since we have not and do
not contemplate issuing bonds and debentures, the tax of 3.0% of interest payments made by us is unlikely to become relevant. The special tax to be paid by us should therefore be equal to 3.0% of the first EUR 2.4 million of the dividends
distributed to shareholders and of the fees paid to non-resident directors, plus 1.8% of the second EUR 1.2 million of the dividends distributed to shareholders and of the fees paid to non-resident directors, plus 0.1% on the remaining portion
of such dividends and fees. The special tax cannot be less than EUR 48,000 per year. These taxes are paid by us. Assuming we would not have paid any dividends since our incorporation, we so far would only have been subject to the minimum annual
tax.

Most treaties concluded by Luxembourg with other countries are not applicable to us as a holding company subject to the Law of
July 31, 1929, because such companies are specifically excluded from the scope of the application of these treaties.

Luxembourg
Taxation of Shareholders

Withholding Tax

Due to our special tax status, dividends that we distribute are not subject to withholding tax in Luxembourg, whoever the beneficiaries of those dividends may be.

Tax residence

Holders of the common
shares will not become resident or be deemed to be resident in Luxembourg by reason only of the holding of the common shares.

Shareholders not residents of Luxembourg

Tax on dividends

Holders of the Common Shares who are not residents of Luxembourg and who do not hold the common shares through a permanent establishment in Luxembourg are
not liable to Luxembourg income tax on dividends that we distribute.

##### Table of Contents

Tax on capital gains

Holders of common shares who are not residents of Luxembourg and who do not hold the common shares through a permanent establishment in Luxembourg will be taxed in Luxembourg upon any gain deriving from the sale of
the common shares, if the common shares are held (i) less than 6 months from the acquisition of the common shares, provided the relevant holder has held more than 10.0% of our share capital or (ii) more than 6 months from the acquisition
of the common shares provided the relevant holder (x) has held more than 10.0% of our share capital at any one time during the 5 years preceding the disposal of the common shares and (y) was a Luxembourg resident taxpayer during more than
15 years and has become a non-resident taxpayer less than 5 years before the moment of the disposal of the common shares.

Resident
Shareholders of Luxembourg Fully Taxable

Tax on dividends

Holders of common shares resident in Luxembourg or non-resident holders of common shares, who have a permanent establishment in Luxembourg with whom the
holding of the common shares is connected, must for income tax purposes include any dividend received in their taxable income.

Tax on
capital gains

Capital gains realized upon a disposal of common shares by a Luxembourg resident individual shareholder are not subject
to taxation in Luxembourg, unless the transfer occurs less than 6 months after the acquisition of common shares or, the transfer occurs more than 6 months after the acquisition of common shares or the shareholder has held more than 10.0% of our
share capital of at any time during the five preceding years. Capital gains realized upon the sale of common shares by a fully taxable Luxembourg resident company, or a foreign entity of the same type which has a Luxembourg permanent establishment,
are fully taxable in Luxembourg.

Net wealth tax

Luxembourg net wealth tax will be levied on a holder of the common shares, if the Common Shares are attributable to an enterprise or part thereof which is carried on by a Luxembourg resident company or through a
permanent establishment or a permanent representative in Luxembourg of a non-resident company.

Residents of Luxembourg who enjoy a
special tax regime in Luxembourg

Dividends distributed to holding companies subject to the law of July 31, 1929 (the conditions
laid down therein) to undertakings for collective investments are not subject to any Luxembourg tax. Capital gains realized upon the sale of the common shares by holding companies subject to the law of July 31, 1929 and by undertakings for
collective investments are not subject to any Luxembourg tax. Common shares held by holding companies subject to the law of July 31, 1929 by undertakings for collective investments and to the investment companies in risk capital
(SICAR) ruled by the law of June 15, 2004 are not subject to net wealth tax.

Other Taxes

There is no Luxembourg registration tax, stamp duty or any other similar tax or duty payable in Luxembourg by a holder of the Common Shares as a
consequence of the issuance of the common shares, nor will any of these taxes be payable as a consequence of a subsequent transfer or repurchase of the common shares.

No gift, estate or inheritance taxes are levied on the transfer of the common shares upon the death of a holder of the Common Shares in cases where the deceased was not a resident of Luxembourg for inheritance tax
purposes.

By issuing shares, we do not carry on an activity falling into the scope of application of the Luxembourg
VAT Law and do not become a VAT payer. Luxembourg VAT may however be payable in respect of fees charged for certain services rendered to us if, for Luxembourg VAT purposes, such services are rendered or are deemed to be rendered in Luxembourg and an
exemption from Luxembourg VAT does not apply with respect to such services.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation

The following summary describes the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, holding and disposition of the common
shares or ADSs. This summary addresses only the U.S. federal income tax considerations of holders that will hold common shares or ADSs as capital assets. This summary does not address tax considerations applicable to holders that may be subject to

foreign tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of common shares or ADSs.

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the Code), existing, proposed and temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof. This description is also
based in part on the representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms. All of the foregoing are subject to change (possibly
with retroactive effect) and differing interpretations which could affect the tax consequences described herein.

For purposes of this
summary, a U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of common shares or ADSs that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:



| |  |  | an individual citizen or resident of the United States,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a corporation, or an entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust if such trust validly elects to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a court within the United States is able to
exercise primary supervision over its administration and (2) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.

A Non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of common shares or ADSs that is neither a U.S.
Holder nor a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

If a partnership (or any other
entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of common shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of such partnership, or a partner in such partnership, will generally depend on the status of the partner and on
the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner in a partnership that holds common shares or ADSs, you should consult your tax advisor.

We urge you to consult your tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of common shares or ADSs.

Ownership of ADSs in General

For U.S. federal
income tax purposes, a holder of ADSs generally will be treated as the owner of the common shares represented by such ADSs.

The U.S.
Treasury Department has expressed concern that depositaries for ADRs, or other intermediaries between the holders of shares of an issuer and the issuer, may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of U.S. foreign tax credits by
U.S. holders of such receipts or shares. Accordingly, the analysis regarding the availability of a U.S. foreign tax credit for Luxembourg taxes and sourcing rules described below could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the U.S.
Treasury Department.

Distributions

Subject to the discussion below under Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations, , if you are a U.S. Holder, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of any distribution made to you of cash or
property , (other than certain distributions, if any, of additional common shares distributed pro rata to all our shareholders, including holders of ADSs, with respect to common shares or ADSs) will be includible in your income on the day on which
the distributions are actually or constructively received by you (which in the case of ADSs will be the date such distribution is received by the depositary) as dividend income to the extent such distributions are paid out of our current or
accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporate U.S. Holders. Non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will
be taxed on such distributions at the lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains (i.e., gains from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year) with respect to taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2010. However, a
U.S. Holders eligibility for such preferential rate would be subject to certain holding period requirements and the non-existence of certain risk reduction transactions with respect to the common shares or ADSs. Additionally, even if we
otherwise were to meet the conditions for reduced rates of taxation on dividends, non-corporate U.S. Holders still will not be entitled to such reduced rates of taxation if we are a passive foreign investment company in the taxable year such
dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year (see discussion under Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations below).

Subject to the discussion below under Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations to the extent, if any, that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and
profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of common shares or ADSs (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the
amount of loss, to be recognized by you on a subsequent disposition of common shares or ADSs), and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange (as discussed below under Sale or
Exchange of Common Shares or ADSs). We do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, and therefore a U.S. Holder should expect that the entire amount of a distribution will generally be
reported as dividend income to such U.S. Holder.

##### Table of Contents

If you are a U.S. Holder, dividend income received by you with respect to common shares or ADSs will be
treated as foreign source income, which may be relevant in calculating your foreign tax credit limitation. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific baskets of income. For this purpose,
dividend income should generally constitute passive category income, or in the case of certain U.S. Holders, general category income. Further, in certain circumstances, if you have held common shares or ADSs for less than a
specified minimum period during which you are not protected from risk of loss; or are obligated to make payments related to the dividends, you will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividend income with respect to
common shares and ADSs. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.

Subject to the discussion below under Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder of
common shares or ADSs, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on dividends received on common shares or ADSs, unless such income is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United
States.

Sale or Exchange of Common Shares or ADSs

Deposits and withdrawals of common shares by holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to the discussion below under Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations, if you are a U.S. Holder, you generally will
recognize gain or loss on the sale or exchange of common shares or ADSs equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale or exchange and your adjusted tax basis in the common shares or ADSs. Subject to the discussion below under
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, the maximum marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to such gain will be lower than
the maximum marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to ordinary income (other than certain dividends) if your holding period for such common shares or ADSs exceeds one year (i.e., it is a long-term capital gain). If you are a U.S. Holder,
gain or loss, if any, recognized by you generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss, as the case may be, for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

If you are a U.S. Holder, the initial tax basis of your common shares will be the U.S. dollar value of the Norwegian kroner denominated purchase price
determined on the date of purchase. If the common shares are treated as traded on an established securities market, and you are a cash basis U.S. Holder (or, if you elect, an accrual basis U.S. Holder), you will determine the U.S. dollar
value of the cost of such common shares by translating the amount paid at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the purchase. The conversion of U.S. dollars to Norwegian kroners and the immediate use of that currency to purchase common
shares generally will not result in taxable gain or loss for a U.S. Holder. If you are a U.S. Holder, the initial tax basis of your ADSs will be the U.S. dollar denominated purchase price determined on the date of purchase.

With respect to the sale or exchange of common shares or ADSs, the amount realized generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the payment received
determined on (1) the date of receipt of payment in the case of a cash basis U.S. Holder and (2) the date of disposition in the case of an accrual basis U.S. Holder. If the common shares or ADSs are treated as traded on an
established securities market, a cash basis taxpayer, (or, if it elects, an accrual basis taxpayer) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the
settlement date of the sale.

Subject to the discussion below under Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting
Requirements, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale or exchange of such common shares or ADSs unless (1) such gain is effectively
connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (2) if you are an individual Non-U.S. Holder, you are present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or exchange and certain other
conditions are met.

##### Table of Contents

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any
taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either:



| |  |  | at least 75 percent of its gross income is passive income; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | at least 50 percent of the average value of its gross assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of
passive income.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from
commodities and securities transactions. In determining whether we are a PFIC, a pro rata portion of the income and assets of each subsidiary in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.

Based in part on estimates of our gross income and the value of our gross assets and the nature of our business, we believe that we will
not be classified as a PFIC for our current taxable year. Our status in future years will depend on our assets and activities in those years. We have no reason to believe that our assets or activities will change in a manner that would cause us to
be classified as a PFIC, but there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, and you are a U.S. Holder, you generally would be subject to imputed interest charges and other
disadvantageous tax treatment (including the denial of the taxation of such dividends at the lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains, as discussed above under Distributions) with respect to any gain from the sale or exchange
of, and certain distributions with respect to, your common shares or ADSs.

If we are or become a PFIC, you could make a variety of
elections that may alleviate certain tax consequences referred to above, and one of these elections may be made retroactively. However, we do not expect that the conditions necessary for making certain of such elections with respect to the common
shares or ADSs will be met. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences that would arise if we are or become a PFIC.

Backup
Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements

U.S. backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements generally
apply to certain payments to certain non-corporate holders. Information reporting generally will apply to the distributions on, and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of, common shares or ADSs made within the United States, or by a U.S. payor
or U.S. middleman to a holder of common shares or ADSs, other than an exempt recipient, including a corporation, a payee that is not a U.S. person that provides an appropriate certification and certain other persons. A payor will be required to
withhold backup withholding tax from any distributions on, or the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, common shares or ADSs within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman to a holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such
holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding tax requirements. The backup withholding tax rate is 28% for years through 2010.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. If you are a U.S. Holder, you generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the
backup withholding rules that exceed your U.S. federal income tax liability by filing a refund claim with the Internal Revenue Service. You will be entitled to credit any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules against your U.S. federal
income tax liability provided that you furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner.

The above
summary is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, holding and disposition of common shares or ADSs. We urge you to consult your tax advisor concerning the tax
consequences of your particular situation.

|Item 11. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
|-------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

The Group is exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures on a consolidated basis, wherever possible we enter into derivative instruments to
economically hedge currency exposures in accordance with our company policies. The financial impact of these instruments is offset by corresponding changes in the underlying exposure being hedged. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for
trading purposes.

Foreign-Exchange Risk Management

The Groups reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The majority of net
operating expenses are denominated in the functional currency of the individual operating subsidiaries. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the most significant subsidiaries within Acergy North America and Mexico, Acergy South America and
Acergy Asia and Middle East. In Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, the functional currencies are the Euro and U.S. dollar. In Acergy Northern Europe and Canada, the functional currencies are the Norwegian krone, the British pound sterling, the
Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. Our exposure to currency rate fluctuations results from our net investments in foreign subsidiaries, primarily in the United Kingdom, Norway, France and Brazil, and from our share of the local currency earnings
in our operations in Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, Acergy Northern Europe and Canada and Acergy South America. We do not use derivative instruments to hedge the value of investments in foreign subsidiaries. The net translation adjustments arising
on the above currency exposures was a gain for fiscal year 2007 of $29.1 million (2006: a gain of $13.0 million, 2005: a loss of $6.1 million). These are recorded in the Comprehensive income column of the Consolidated Statement of
Changes in Shareholders Equity of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are also exposed to fluctuations in several other
currencies resulting from revenues, operating expenditures and one-off liabilities. Our currency rate exposure policy prescribes the range of allowable hedging activity. We primarily use forward exchange contracts to hedge capital expenditures and
operational non-functional currency exposures on a continuing basis for periods consistent with our committed exposures, and to a lesser extent pre-committed exposures. All of the instruments are used as economic hedges against forecasted underlying
operating or capital exposures, and are treated as accounting hedges in accordance with SFAS 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities where it is appropriate and feasible to do so. We do not engage in currency
speculation.

##### Table of Contents

Interest-Rate Risk Management

The Groups exposure to third party interest rate fluctuations result
primarily from floating-rate credit facilities tied to LIBOR. At the end of the fiscal year 2007, we had not made drawings on any facilities nor did we have any interest rate derivative instruments. Surplus cash was invested with short term
maturities on the money markets.

Sensitivity Analysis

We use a VAR model to estimate the maximum potential loss on financial instruments that could occur from adverse movements in either interest rates or foreign exchange rates. The VAR model uses historical foreign
exchange rates and interest rates to estimate the volatility and correlation of these rates in future periods. It estimates a potential one-day loss in the fair market value of the instruments using statistical modeling techniques and including
substantially all market risk exposures, specifically excluding joint venture investments. The VAR model estimates were made assuming normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level.

The 95% confidence level signifies our degree of confidence that actual losses would not exceed the estimated losses shown in the table below. The
amounts shown here disregard the possibility that interest rates and foreign currency rates could move favorably. The VAR model assumes that all movements in these rates would be adverse. Actual experience has shown that gains and losses tend to
offset each other over time, and it is highly unlikely that we could experience losses such as these over an extended period of time. These amounts should not be considered to be projections of future losses, since actual results may differ
significantly depending upon activity in the global financial markets.

The fair value losses shown in the table below have no impact on
our results or financial condition.



|                                     |  |      |  |

|VAR as at November 30, (in millions) |  | 2007 |  | 2006
|                                     |  | $    |  | $   
|Interest rates                       |  |     |  |    
|Foreign exchange rates               |  | 0.6  |  | 0.1 

VAR in fiscal year 2007 increased to $0.6 million (2006: $0.1 million). This was partly due to the
significant increase in the financial instruments held by us and partly due to a decrease in the historic volatility of the currency paid in fiscal year 2006.

A discussion of our accounting policies for financial instruments is included above in Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsCritical Accounting PoliciesAccounting for
Derivatives and in Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Disclosure relating to financial instruments is also included in Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Based on overall interest rate exposures as of April 30, 2008, a near-term change in interest rates would not materially affect our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other Financial Instruments

All of our derivative activities are over the counter instruments entered into
with major financial credit institutions to hedge our committed exposures. Our derivative instruments are primarily standard foreign exchange forward contracts which subject us to a minimum level of exposure risk and have maturities of less than 48
months. We do not consider that we have a material exposure to credit risk from third parties failing to perform according to the terms of derivative instruments.

|-------- | ------------------------

We carried out an
evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as at
November 30, 2007. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.
Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as at
November 30, 2007, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported as and when required, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of November 30, 2007 no material weaknesses had been identified.

For ongoing monitoring of the progress of the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance project, regular Sarbanes-Oxley Steering Committee meetings are held. Members
of the Steering Committee include the Chief Financial Officer, the Group Financial Controller and the Head of Compliance. In addition, representatives from our independent public accountant were invited to attend certain meetings.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Managements report on
internal control over financial reporting and the attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, are included at pages F-2 and F-4, respectively, of this Report.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Companys management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by the
Companys board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. The Companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: 1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; 2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the management and the directors of the company; and 3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Because of its
inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Companys management assessed the effectiveness
of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as at November 30, 2007. In making this assessment, the Companys management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework.

Based on its assessment, management believes that, as at November 30, 2007, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting is effective, based on those criteria.

Managements assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as at November 30, 2007 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on
Form 20-F and, as part of the audit, has issued a report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and shareholders of Acergy S.A.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acergy S.A. (a Luxembourg company) and subsidiaries (the Group) as of
November 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2007. Our audit also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 18. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Groups management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial
statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Group as at November 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective November 30, 2007, the Group adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and other Post Retirement Plans.

As discussed in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective December 1, 2005, the Group changed its method of accounting for share-based payments upon the adoption of Standard of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the Groups internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Groups internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Acergy S.A.

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Acergy S.A. (a Luxembourg company) and subsidiaries (the Group) as of November 30, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Groups management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Groups internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists,
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

A groups internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
groups principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the groups board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A groups internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the group; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the group are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the group; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the groups assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override
of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to
the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Group maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended November 30, 2007 of the Group and our report dated February 25, 2008
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 18 and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Groups adoption of a Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The Group

Acergy S.A., a Luxembourg company, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, we, our or us) is one of the largest
offshore services contractors in the world based on revenues. We are a seabed-to-surface engineering and construction contractor for the offshore oil and gas industry worldwide. We plan, design and deliver complex, integrated projects in harsh and
challenging environments.

The market for our services is dependent upon the success of exploration and the level of investment in offshore
exploration and production by the major oil companies. Such investment is cyclical in nature.

2. Accounting policies

Principles of consolidation

The Consolidated
Financial Statements, reported in US dollars, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), and include the accounts of all majority-owned companies in which we
have operating control and which are not variable interest entities, as well as variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated.

We have invested in several joint ventures. These include Nautical Vessels Pte Limited and SapuraAcergy Sdn Bhd (collectively SapuraAcergy),
Seaway Heavy Lifting (SHL), NKT Flexibles I/S (NKT Flexibles), Global Oceon Engineers Nigeria Limited (Oceon), Acergy Havila Limited (Acergy Havila) and project-specific joint ventures. In these joint
ventures, we have economic and voting interests of 17.5% to 50%.

Investments in non-consolidated joint ventures are accounted for under
the equity method. Losses are accrued in excess of the investment value for such entities only when we are committed to provide ongoing financial support to the joint ventures.

In accordance with Interpretation No. 46 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN
46R), we commenced consolidating Sonamet Industrial S.A.R.L. (Sonamet), and Sonacergy Serviços E Construções Petrolíferas Lda (Sonacergy) from May 31, 2004.

Presentation of financial statements

Following a review of the various types of expenses included in the operating and overhead expense categories, the costs associated with running of various business segment offices have been taken out of operating expenses and included in
SG&A. The rationale of this change is that the aforementioned costs are not directly related to operational activity. Consequently there has been a reclassification from operating expenses to SG&A in the fiscal year 2007 of $39.1 million
(2006: $34.5 million; 2005 $27.1 million).

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities as at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.

In the preparation
of these Consolidated Financial Statements, estimates and assumptions have been made by management including costs to complete projects, an assessment of percentage-of-completion of projects, recognition of revenue in respect of variation orders and
claims, the selection of useful lives of tangible and

intangible assets, expected future cash flows from long-lived assets to support impairment tests, provisions necessary for trade receivables, the carrying
value of non-consolidated joint ventures, income tax valuation allowances, income tax contingencies, provisions for legal disputes and assessment of the probability of occurrence of hedged transactions. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The financial reporting of contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of these contracts.
Recognized revenues and income are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion and refinements in estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Additional information that
enhances and refines the estimating process that is obtained after the balance sheet date, but before issuance of the financial statements is reflected in the financial statements. The positive impact on gross profit from continuing operations of
significant revisions to contract estimates in fiscal year 2007 was $127.9 million (2006: $74.2 million; 2005: $60.3 million). The positive/(adverse) impact on gross profit from discontinued operations of significant revisions to contract estimates
in fiscal year 2007 was $10.1 million (2006: $(18.7) million; 2005: $(15.4) million). The pretax effect of these revisions to basic earnings per share for continuing operations in fiscal year 2007 was $0.68 (2006: $0.39; 2005: $0.32). These effects
also reflect adjustments recorded in respect of events, claim settlements and revisions of cost estimates, which took place during the time period between the fiscal year-end and the publication of our financial statements unless the underlying
event is outside the normal exposure and risk aspects of the contract in which case if material the event is disclosed as a subsequent event in Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue recognition

Long-term contracts are
accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. Statement of Position 81-1 Accounting for Performance of Certain Construction-Type Contracts is applied. Revenue and gross profit are recognized each period based upon the
advancement of the work-in-progress unless the stage of completion is insufficient to enable a reasonably certain forecast of gross profit to be established. In such cases, no gross profit is recognized during the period. The
percentage-of-completion is calculated based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs, taking into account the level of completion. The percentage-of-completion method requires us to make reasonably dependable estimates of
progress toward completion of contract revenues and contract costs. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they become known.

A major portion of revenue is billed under fixed-price contracts. However, due to the nature of the services performed, variation orders and claims are commonly billed to clients in the normal course of business and
are recognized as contract revenue where recovery is probable and can be reasonably estimated. In addition, some contracts contain incentive provisions based upon performance in relation to established targets, which are recognized in the contract
estimates when the targets are achieved. As at November 30, 2007 $2.6 million (2006: $nil; 2005: $nil) of revenue relating to unagreed claims was included in reported revenue or receivables that has not been subsequently collected in full.

During the course of multi-year projects the accounting estimates for the current period and/or future periods may change. The effect of
such a change, which can be upward as well as downward, is accounted for in the period of change and the cumulative income recognized to date is adjusted to reflect the latest estimates. These revisions to estimates will not result in restating
amounts in previous periods. Revisions of estimates are calculated on a regular basis.

Operating revenue is reported on a gross basis with
regard to any related expenses in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19 Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. Operating expenses were reported in fiscal year 2007 of $2,122.3 million (2006: $1,695.2 million;
2005: $1,217.7 million), which consists of costs associated with or directly related to, project work. These types of costs include direct costs related to a contract (e.g. procurement costs, cost of goods sold, and subcontract costs); personnel
costs (e.g. salaries and

benefit costs); ship and equipment costs (e.g. ship hire, equipment rental, maintenance and repair costs, mobilization costs, fuel, logistics and insurance
costs); depreciation and amortization; and administrative costs for support embedded within projects.

Selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses

SG&A expenses include the following costs: personnel and employment, training and development,
travel and entertainment, information systems, communications, office costs, publicity and advertising, and professional fees. These costs are incurred by the following functions: executive management, regional management, office management, risk
and insurance management, finance, accounting, treasury, legal, information technology, business development and human resources.

Cash and cash
equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months
or less.

Inventory

In
determining the cost of inventory the weighted average cost method is used. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and market, with provisions made against slow-moving and obsolete items. Provisions for excess and obsolete items are analyzed at
least annually on the basis of inventory counts, reviews of recent and planned inventory use, assessments of technical obsolescence, and physical inspections.

Discontinued operations

Assets and disposal groups are classified as discontinued operations in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or the Disposal of Long-lived Assets, when the operations and the cash flows of the disposal group can be clearly distinguished,
operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the operations; the operations and cash flows of the asset and disposal groups are eliminated from ongoing operations; and there is no significant continuing involvement after the
disposal transaction. In the period an asset or disposal group has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, the results of the operations are reported as discontinued operations in the current and prior periods. In accordance with EITF
No. 87-24 Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations we have allocated interest to discontinued operations. General corporate overheads are allocated to continuing operations.

Assets held for sale

Assets and disposal
groups are classified as being held for sale in accordance with SFAS No. 144, when the following criteria are met: management has committed to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group); the asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale
in its present condition; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been initiated; the sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset
(disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year; the asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to
complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Long-lived assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale.

Long-lived assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale.

Long-lived
tangible assets

Tangible assets are recorded at cost. Interest costs incurred between the date that financing is provided for a
qualifying asset and the date that the asset is ready for use are capitalized. Interest was capitalized as at November 30, 2007 was $0.8 million (2006: $nil; 2005: $0.3 million).

Depreciation of tangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets as follows:



|                           |  |               
|-------------------------- |  | --------------
|Construction support ships |  | 10 to 25 years
|Operating equipment        |  | 3 to 10 years 
|Buildings                  |  | 20 to 33 years
|Other assets               |  | 3 to 7 years  

Ships are depreciated to a residual value of 10% of acquisition cost, which reflects
managements estimate of salvage or otherwise recoverable value. No residual value is assumed with respect to other tangible assets. Costs for fitting out construction support ships are capitalized and amortized over a period equal to the
remaining useful life of the related equipment.

Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations for fiscal year 2007 was
$77.8 million (2006: $58.6 million; 2005: $56.9 million).

Depreciation and amortization expense from discontinued operations for fiscal
year 2007 was $nil (2006: $nil; 2005: $1.7 million).

Dry-docking costs

As a condition to continue to operate the Groups ships and barges, major inspections and overhauls, which are required to be performed in a
dry-dock, must be completed on a regular basis.

Dry-docking costs are capitalized and amortized over the period between ship dockings,
which is typically between two and five years. Amortization of capitalized dry-docking costs from continuing operations for fiscal year 2007 was $15.5 million (2006: $14.8 million; 2005: $11.6 million). The unamortized portion of capitalized
dry-docking costs for fiscal year 2007 of $31.2 million (2006: $28.5 million) is included in deposits and non-current prepayments and receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Amortization of capitalized dry-docking costs from discontinued operations for fiscal year 2007 were $nil (2006: $nil; 2005: $0.9 million).

Maintenance and repair costs from continuing operations, which are expensed as incurred, for fiscal year 2007 was $59.8 million (2006: $59.5 million;
2005: $48.1 million).

Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets and intangibles with finite lives are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be



F-14

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



recoverable. In performing the review for impairment, future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are
estimated. If the undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset is deemed impaired. The amount of the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the
asset. The fair value is determined either through the use of an external valuation, or by means of an analysis of future cash flows on the basis of expected utilization and daily charge-out rates discounted by the weighted average cost of capital.

Other intangible assets

Intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or whenever impairment indicators arise.

Impairment
of investments in non-consolidated joint ventures

Investments in non-consolidated joint ventures are reviewed periodically to
assess whether there is an other than temporary decline in the carrying value of the investment. An annual review is performed to consider, among other things, whether the carrying value of the investment is able to be recovered and whether or not
the investees ability to sustain an earnings capacity would justify the carrying value of the investment. A provision is made against non-collectibility of loans and advances made to non-consolidated joint ventures when it is probable that all
amounts due are able to be collected according to the contractual terms of the agreement under SFAS No. 114 Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109
Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are
expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets to an amount that the Group considers, based upon all available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.

Operations are conducted in many countries through both subsidiaries and branches and as such we are subject to tax in a number of different
jurisdictions with different taxing regimes. In some cases our operations may be subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction and will be subject to cross-border tax treaties, where available. In these countries taxes are sometimes levied on
different income bases and collected as withholding taxes deducted from gross cash receipts.

Management has established internal
procedures to regularly review the status of disputed tax assessments and other uncertain tax positions, and utilizes such information to determine the range of likely outcomes and establish tax provisions for the most probable outcome.
Notwithstanding this, the possibility exists that the amounts of taxes finally agreed could differ from that which has been accrued. In addition we have, under the guidance in SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies, provided for
taxes in situations where tax assessments have not been received, but where it is probable that the tax ultimately payable will be in excess of that filed in tax returns. Such instances can arise where the auditors or representatives of the local
tax authorities disagree with our interpretation of the applicable taxation law and practice.

In the normal course of our business, tax
filings will become subject to enquiry and audit by the tax authorities. Therefore, during the course of a year, assessments will be received from tax authorities and will be at various stages of appeal and discussions with defenses registered
against the issues being raised as appropriate.

##### Table of Contents

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



Where information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that the liability under audit, enquiry or
discussion has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the tax can be reasonably estimated, a provision for the tax will be accrued. As forecasting the eventual outcome involves uncertainty, there can be no assurance
that the eventual outcome will be in line with the position that has been taken in the financial statements.

Interest on overdue taxes is
classified within interest expense and penalties assessed by tax authorities are classified within tax expense.

It is intended to
indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries incorporated in those countries which impose withholding or remittance taxes on repatriation, and accordingly the Group has made no provision for withholding and remittance
taxes that would be due if such remittances were made.

Debt costs

Costs incurred in connection with issuance of debt, such as facility fees, are treated as a deferred charge and classified as a non-current asset. Such
costs are amortized over the life of the debt as additional interest.

Convertible notes

Convertible notes are accounted for in accordance with APB No. 14: Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase
Warrants and therefore no portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible notes is attributed to the conversion feature. The costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes are treated as a deferred debt
cost and amortized over the life of the convertible notes. If the convertible notes are converted at the option of the holders the deferred debt cost will be expensed immediately.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges are accrued in respect of existing
post-employment plans, which include statutory legal requirements to pay redundancy costs, under SFAS No. 112 Employers Accounting for Post-Employment Benefits. In these circumstances, a provision for redundancy costs is
accrued at the date that it is probable that the employee will be entitled to the benefits and when these can be reasonably estimated.

Where the termination costs are of a one-time involuntary nature, SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit and Disposal Activities is applied. This includes costs for redundancies, which are over
and above the statutory requirements, and the costs for vacated property, and provide for these costs at fair value at the date the termination plans are communicated to employees and when committed to the plan, and it is unlikely that significant
changes will be made to the plan.

Recognition of provisions for contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to various claims, suits and complaints. Management, in consultation with internal and external
advisers, will provide for a contingent loss in the financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In accordance with FASB
Interpretation No. 14 Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss, if it is determined that the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and that there is no best estimate within the range, provision will be made for the lower
amount of the range. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Provision for warranty costs arising in relation to long-term contracts is made if they qualify for
recognition in accordance with SFAS No. 5, as detailed above. At the conclusion of each project, an assessment is made of the areas where potential claims may arise under the contract warranty clauses. Where a specific risk is identified and
the potential for a claim is assessed as probable and can be reasonably estimated, an appropriate warranty provision is recorded. Warranty provisions are eliminated at the end of the warranty period except where warranty claims are still
outstanding. The movements in the warranty provisions are as follows:



|                              |  |      |  |     
|----------------------------- |  | ---- |  | ----

|                              |  |      |  |     

Research and development expenditure

The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred.

Minority interest

Minority interest expense is accrued,
reflecting the portion of the earnings of the consolidated operations that are applicable to the minority interest partners. The minority interest amounts recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements primarily represent the share
of minority partners interest of 331/3%
in Alto Mar Girassol, and 45% in both Sonamet and Sonacergy.

Treasury shares

Capital stock acquired that is not retired is carried at cost and reflected as a separate reduction of shareholders equity. As at November 30,
2007 6,056,407 common shares (2006: 1,793,921 common shares) were held as treasury shares. 879,121 common shares (2006: 879,121 common shares) are held by an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Acergy S.A. In accordance with ARB 43
Restatement and Revisions of Accounting Research Bulletins losses incurred on the sale of treasury shares are transferred to the accumulated deficit.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common
share equivalents outstanding during each period. In accordance with the if-converted method in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, the convertible notes are included in the diluted earnings per share if the effect is
dilutive regardless of whether the conversion price has been met. If the effect is dilutive the convertible notes are included in the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents from the beginning of the period or date of
issue if later.

Share-based compensation

Share-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No.123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments (SFAS No.123(R)). Compensation expense is based on the fair value of an award at the
date of grant and is recognized over the requisite service period using the graded vesting attribution method. The determination of the grant date of all options is based on the date of approval by the Compensation Committee. Compensation expense is
recognized for plans with non-market based performance conditions if achievement of those conditions is probable, and is charged using the graded vesting attribution method, except for options granted under the Senior Management Incentive Plan
(SMIP), which are charged on a straight-line basis.

Foreign currency translation

Acergy S.A. is incorporated in Luxembourg and, given the nature of our business, operates in a US dollar economic environment. The reporting currency is
the US dollar. The functional currencies of the companies that comprise the Acergy Africa and Mediterranean segment are dependent upon the geographical location of the activities and are either Euro, Central African franc, Nigerian naira, or US
dollar. The functional currencies of the companies that comprise the Acergy Northern Europe and Canada segment are dependent upon the geographical location of the activities and are either Norwegian krone, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, or
US dollar. The US dollar is the functional currency of the most significant subsidiaries within Acergy North America and Mexico, Acergy South America and Acergy Asia and Middle East. In Acergy South America the functional currencies of the most
significant subsidiaries are the Brazilian reale and US dollar. In Acergy Asia and Middle East America the functional currencies of the most significant subsidiaries are the Australian dollar and US dollar.

Exchange gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in a currency other than that of the functional currency are included in foreign
currency exchange (losses) gains, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations except for those arising on trade receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances which are classified as
operating expenses. In accordance with SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on revaluation of long-term intra-group balances, which are not planned or anticipated to be
settled in the foreseeable future, are included within Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for those intra-group balances
that do not meet this criteria.

Financial statements of subsidiaries are translated from their functional currencies (usually local
currencies) into US dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at exchange rates which approximate the average
exchange rates prevailing during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in a

separate component of AOCI as translation adjustments, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders Equity.

Derivatives and hedging activities

The Groups operations are in a large number of countries and, as a result, we are exposed to currency fluctuations as a result of incurring operating expenses in the normal course of business.

Open speculative positions are not entered into. Derivatives (foreign exchange forward and swap contracts) are accounted for in accordance with SFAS
No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, which requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and
effectiveness of hedging relationships. Hedging effectiveness is measured quarterly using the dollar-offset method applied on a cumulative basis. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in the fair
value of the derivative instrument are recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the hedged item affects earnings, and ineffective or excluded portions of changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Operationsforeign currency exchange (losses) gains, net as they arise. If the derivative instrument is terminated or settled prior to the expected maturity or realization of the underlying hedged item or if the hedging relationship
is otherwise terminated, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

Pension commitments

The Group accounts for its post-retirement benefit plans in accordance with SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions, SFAS
No. 88 Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits and SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions. The
principle underlying these accounting standards is that the cost of providing these benefits is recognized in income over the service lives of the participating employees.

For defined contribution plans, the cost of providing the benefits represents the Groups contributions to the plans and is recognized in income in
the period in which the contributions fall due.

For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing the benefits is determined based on
actuarial valuations of each of the plans that are carried out annually by independent qualified actuaries. Plan assets (if any) are measured at fair value. Benefit obligations are measured using the projected unit credit method.

The Group uses the so-called corridor approach whereby to the extent that cumulative actuarial gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of
the market related value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the fiscal year, they are amortized to income over the average remaining service lives of participating employees.

Effective November 30, 2007, the Group adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements no. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). Accordingly, the Groups statement of financial position as at November 30, 2007 includes the net total for each plan of the
fair value of the plan assets (if any) less the projected benefit obligation. The net total for all plans in surplus is classified as a long-term asset. The net total for all plans in deficit is classified as a long-term liability except to the
extent of any excess of the benefits expected to be payable within one year over the fair value of the plan assets which is classified as a current liability.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



As at November 30, 2007, the previously unrecognized net prior service cost, the unrecognized
net actuarial loss and the unrecognized net transition obligation were recognized and it became no longer necessary to recognize the minimum pension liability and the related intangible asset.

Supplemental cash flow information

In fiscal
year 2007, $34.4 million was invested in SHL as discussed in Note 11 Investments in and advances to non-consolidated joint ventures of the Consolidated Financial Statements. This was satisfied by a cash contribution of $18.8 million and
$15.6 million in lieu of a dividend due from SHL. There were no non-cash financing transactions in fiscal year 2006. In fiscal year 2005 it includes the non-cash proceeds on disposal of Paragon Engineering Services, Inc.

Impact of recently issued but not yet adopted new accounting standards

As we will be adopting IFRS from December 1, 2007, we will not be assessing the future impact of the following recently issued but not yet adopted
accounting standards: SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations; SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; SFAS No. 160 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements; and FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FIN 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.

International Financial Reporting Standards

Acergy S.A. is domiciled and registered in Luxembourg and the Luxembourg
authorities have granted an exemption from the requirement to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) until the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2007. IFRS has been adopted on December 1, 2007
and we will publish comparative Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 in the Groups 2008 annual report. IFRS has replaced accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as our reporting
framework with effect from December 1, 2007.

|(a) | Income from discontinued operations by segment is given in Note 20 Segment and related information below.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During fiscal year 2005 as part of the decision to re-focus Acergy North America and Mexico operations on core expertise of deepwater Subsea
construction, Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SURF) a number of assets were identified for disposal in the Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR) and Conventional segments. The ships and barges offered for sale were the
Seaway Defender, American Constitution, American Star, American Triumph, American Victory, American Diver, American Liberty, Seaway Kestrel and the DLB801. The shore support bases at Fourchon and Port of Iberia in the state of Louisana in
United States of America and the equipment at these bases were also offered for sale.

An asset purchase agreement to sell the above assets
for $122.9 million in cash was signed April 11, 2005 with Cal Dive International Inc., (Cal Dive). The agreement was later amended on October 31, 2005. The first seven ships listed above and the shore support bases and
equipment at these bases were sold to Cal Dive on October 31, 2005 for a total of $42.5 million cash and resulted in a gain of $27.1 million. The sale of the derrick lay-barge DLB801 and the reel and pipelay ship Seaway Kestrel
was completed on January 9, 2006 and March 15, 2006 respectively for a total of $80.4 million cash and resulted in a gain of $35.1 million.

Discontinued operations in fiscal year 2006 and 2007 represent the results of the completion of the Conventional projects offshore Trinidad and Tobago that were in progress at the date of the agreement with Cal Dive.
After the 2005 year-end, Seaway Kestrel and DLB801 continued with their specific work programs to complete the remaining scope of work on the these projects offshore Trinidad and Tobago up to the dates they were sold to Cal Dive after which
third-party assets were contracted to finalize these projects. The Trinidad and Tobago projects completed the offshore operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

4. Restricted cash balances

Restricted cash balances comprise both funds held in a
separate bank account, which will be used to settle accrued taxation liabilities, and deposits made by us as security for certain third-party obligations. Restrictions on cash that expire after more than one year are classified under non-current
assets. There are no other significant conditions on the restricted cash balances.

5. Trade receivables

Trade receivables as at November 30, 2007 of $707.9 million (2006: $546.1 million) are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $2.2 million (2006:
$2.4 million). Included in trade receivables are unbilled receivables relating to revenue recognized on the basis of the percentage-of-completion method as at November 30, 2007 of

In fiscal year 2003, a number of assets and businesses were identified which were no longer
considered essential to be owned or performed by us in-house in order to execute core operations. Services such as surface welding and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) drill support services are not central to our focus on the SURF
market. Nevertheless, such services will remain part of the project bidding and when clients in the future require such services, these will be purchased from third parties. A divestment program was commenced in 2003, and the majority of the
significant disposals were completed by the first quarter of 2005.

Furthermore, engineering functions have been reorganized and integrated
into our regional structure. This involved the retention and reallocation of approximately 100 engineers from the Paragon Companies (comprised of Paragon Litwin, Paragon Italia S.r.L. and Paragon Engineering Services, Inc.). Consequently engineering
services are no longer required which had previously had been provided by the Paragon Companies.

| |  |  | Under-utilized mobile equipment$0.1 millionA 120 tonne tensioner was identified to be underutilized, and with no anticipated utilization for fiscal year
2008. The hydraulic power unit of the tensioner was also damaged beyond repair. As a result of the underutilization and the costs to repair the power unit, an impairment charge of $0.1 million was recorded in the fourth quarter to reduce the net
book value of the asset to $nil.

Impairments of long-lived tangible assets in fiscal year 2006

Impairment charges recorded from continuing operations in respect of long-lived assets, in fiscal year 2006 of $2.1 million, were in relation to:

Under-utilized mobile equipmentAn impairment charge was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 of $0.7 million which
comprised $0.1million impairment charge related to a 120 tonne tensioner experiencing a low utilization level and $0.6 million impairment charge related to a winch used to pull in SC Risers and flexibles that the client declined to purchase and for
which there was no alternative use. A further impairment charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 of $1.4 million for a second winch used to pull in SC Risers and flexibles. This was fully impaired as it became apparent that the
technical requirements for a project execution had changed and no further use was expected for this type of winch.

Impairments of long-lived
tangible assets in fiscal year 2005

Impairment charges were recorded from continuing operations in respect of long-lived assets, in
fiscal year 2005 of $7.1 million, as follows:



| |  |  | Warri yard$5.4 millionThe fabrication yard in Warri, Nigeria was identified to be underutilized during the preparation of the 2006 operating budget in
October 2005. An impairment charge of $5.4 million, based on fair value calculations using discounted cash flows, was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 to reduce the net book value of this asset to $nil.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Under-utilized mobile equipment$1.5 millionAn impairment charge was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 for the SC Riser. This equipment,
which is one of two risers owned by us, is installed on a clients ship. The net book value of $1.7 million was adjusted for an impairment charge of $1.0 million following receipt of an offer by the client and the equipment was reported as an
Asset held for sale as at November 30, 2005. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Matis 3, a pipeline tie-in system, was stored and no job had been identified for this equipment during the 2006 budget process in October
2005. An impairment charge was recorded of $0.5 million to reduce the net book value to $nil.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Nanterre office furniture$0.2 millionIn January 2006, Acergy Africa and Mediterranean relocated its office from Nanterre to Suresnes, near Paris. This
decision made in fiscal year 2005, triggered an impairment charge of $0.2 million for the furniture in the Nanterre office which would not be transferred to the new office in Suresnes.

10. Other intangible assets

There were net
intangible assets as at November 30, 2007 of $3.7 million (2006: $4.1 million), of which $3.1 million (2006: $3.4 million) related to Sonamet representing the fair value of a lease access premium for the Lobito Yard in Angola at favorable
rates. This intangible asset had a gross value as at November 30, 2007 of $4.7 million (2006: $4.7 million), accumulated amortization of $1.6 million (2006: $1.3 million) and a useful life of 18 years as of the first date of consolidation. The
amortization expense for fiscal year 2007 was $0.3 million (2006: $0.3 million; 2005: $0.3 million).

The amortization is expected for
fiscal year 2008 to be $0.3 million and for each of the four years thereafter.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



Taxation in respect of joint ventures, which have a legal status of partnership, has been included in
the results of the relevant subsidiaries, which hold the investments in the joint ventures.

Dividend distributed to the Group

In fiscal year 2007 we received a total of $40.6 million dividends from seven joint ventures (three with Acergy/Subsea 7, and one from each of the
following: NKT Flexibles, MPG, Kingfisher D.A. and SHL).

In fiscal year 2006 we received a total of $14.8 million dividends from three
joint ventures (two with Acergy/Subsea 7 and one with MPG).

Increase in investment

In the fiscal year 2007, the Group and our joint venture partner K&S Baltic Offshore (Cyprus) Limited, increased the investment in SHL to contribute
to the construction of the new ship Oleg Strashnov. The Groups contribution was $34.4 million. $0.1 million was also invested in a new joint venture Oceon with our joint venture partner Petrolog Engineering Services Ltd in Nigeria.

In fiscal year 2006, further investments were undertaken in two new joint ventures with SapuraCrest Petroleum, in Acergy Asia and
Middle-East. Investment in the entity owning the ship being built, the Sapura 3000 was $11.0 million and $0.5 million in the operating entity.

Reclassification of negative equity balance as liabilities

The Group accrue losses in excess of the investment value
when we are committed to provide ongoing financial support to the joint venture. Our share of any net liabilities of joint ventures is classified in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Accordingly, a $1.5 million reclassification was recorded
in fiscal year 2007 in respect of our share of liabilities, $1.0 million for SapuraAcergy, $0.4 million for Oceon and $0.1 million for MPG (2006: $nil).

Change in fair value of derivative instruments

This item is our share of the movement in fair values of forward
contracts taken out during fiscal years 2005 to 2007 by the Dalia joint venture. This is reported through other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 133 as hedge accounting criteria have been met. In fiscal year 2007 all hedges
matured.

Impact of currency translation

This relates to the translation of investments in the equity of joint ventures which have a functional currency other than the US dollar, and relates mainly to NKT Flexibles and Acergy/Subsea 7.

Summarized financial information

Summarized
financial information for non-consolidated joint ventures, representing 100% of the respective amounts included in the joint ventures financial statements, is as follows:

Analysis of tax charge

Acergy S.A., is an exempt 1929 Luxembourg Holding Company. Luxembourg tax law provides for a special tax regime for 1929 Holding Companies and consequently Acergy S.A. is not subject to income tax in Luxembourg.
Income taxes have been provided based on the tax laws and rates in the countries where business operations have been established and earn income. The tax charge for us is determined by applying the statutory tax rate to the profits earned in the
jurisdictions in which we operate, taking account of permanent differences between book and tax profits.

Continuing operations

The income tax provision has been reconciled to an effective tax rate for fiscal year 2007 of 30% (2006: 30%; 2005: 30%), being the expected blended
statutory tax rate taking into consideration the jurisdictions in which the Group operates as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future effect of temporary
differences between the financial statements and the tax treatment using the tax rates currently in effect or future enacted rates if different from current rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount
that is more likely than not to be realized.

Deferred taxes have not been recognized on the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries
that are permanently reinvested. If the retained earnings of all of Acergy S.A.s subsidiaries were to be repatriated to Acergy S.A. withholding and remittance taxes would be due in some, but not all instances. No provision for such taxation
has been recorded, as it is intended to indefinitely invest the undistributed earnings of Acergy S.A. subsidiaries incorporated in those countries which impose withholding or remittance taxes. As disclosed in Note 28 Subsequent events
below, the Board has resolved to recommend a payment of a dividend of 21 cents (2006: 20 cents) per common share for 2008 to external shareholders, subject to shareholder approval at the annual general meeting. The Board considers that Acergy will
have the capacity to continue to pay dividends at such a rate for the foreseeable future, subject to Acergys capital requirements and other factors the Board may take into consideration in any given year, without incurring irrecoverable
withholding and remittance taxes.

The gross outside basis difference in respect of permanently reinvested earnings in our own subsidiaries
is estimated at $950.9 million (2006: $561.8 million). In the event of remittance of earnings, withholding taxes of $174.2 million (2006: $110.8 million) would be due and a current tax liability of $14.2 million (2006: $0.8 million) would be
recorded.

Net Operating Losses (NOLs) (including IRC s.163js in US)

NOLs to carry forward in various countries will expire as follows:

|                                |  |       |  |      

At the tax rates prevailing in the countries where the NOL arose, this gives rise to a deferred
tax asset of $85.9 million (2006: $52.1 million). A valuation allowance is then recorded against this deferred tax asset in cases where it is not considered more likely than not that the Groups subsidiaries will generate sufficient profits to
utilize these NOLs.

The majority of NOLs are concentrated in the US where our ability to carry forward NOLs is subject to a limitation as
a consequence of SNSA having sold its remaining stock in the Company in 2005. As at November 30, 2007, it is considered likely that we will be able to access NOLs arising both before and after the date of the change of control of $101.4million
(2006: $8.7 million). In addition to NOLs the Group has IRC s.163j suspended interest deductions of $57.6m. However, with a history of incurring losses for tax purposes in the US, a 100% valuation allowance has been maintained in the US on the NOLs
and IRC s.163j suspended interest deductions.

Valuation allowance

Valuation allowances have been recorded in the following tax jurisdictions as follows:

Tonnage tax

Our tax charge reflects a net benefit in fiscal year 2007 of $0.5 million (2006: $7.1 million) as a result of being taxable under the current UK Tonnage Tax Regime, as compared to the UK tax that would be payable had
an election to join the tonnage tax regime not been made.

Under the current UK tonnage tax legislation, a proportion of tax depreciation
previously claimed by us may be subject to tax in the event that a significant number of ships are sold and not replaced. This contingent liability decreases to nil over the first seven years following entry into the Tonnage Tax Regime. Management
has made

no provision for the contingent liability relating to ships because it is not probable that it will sell ships under circumstances that cause a charge to
income taxes to arise. The unrecorded contingent liability in respect of these ships as at November 30, 2007 was $5.1 million (2006: $16.4 million).

Refer below regarding the proposed changes in the UK Tonnage Tax Regime.

Tax contingencies

Our Operations are carried out in several countries, through branches and subsidiaries and tax filings are subject to the jurisdiction of a significant
number of taxing authorities. Furthermore, the offshore mobile nature of our operations means that we routinely have to deal with complex transfer pricing, permanent establishment and other similar international tax issues as well as competing tax
systems where tax treaties may not exist.

In the ordinary course of events our operations will be subject to audit, enquiry and possible
re-assessment by different taxing authorities. In accordance with SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies management provides taxes for the amounts that it considers probable of being payable as a result of these audits and for
which a reasonable estimate may be made. Management also separately considers if taxes payable in relation to filings not yet subject to audit may be higher than the amounts stated in the filed tax return, and makes additional provisions for
probable risks if appropriate. As forecasting the ultimate outcome includes some uncertainty, the risk exists that adjustments will be recognized to our tax provisions in later years as and when these and other matters are finalized with the
appropriate tax administrations.

In the year to 30 November 2007, a net tax charge of $49 million (excluding interest which has been
charged to the interest line) was accrued in respect of ongoing tax audits ($26 million) and the review of uncertain tax positions undertaken in the year ($23 million). In accordance with the provisions of FAS 109 (9) (e), an additional amount
of $10.8 million in respect of tax on intra-group transfers of assets was deferred as prepayments in the balance sheet. Details are shown below.

Whilst the company has made the incremental provision noted in the preceding paragraph, reflecting the companys view of the most likely outcomes, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could result in tax charges
that are materially higher or lower than the amount the company has provided. Details of the amounts provided and unprovided are shown below.

In 2007, operations in various countries were subject to enquiries, audits and disputes, including but not limited to those in France, Netherlands, UK, USA, Norway, Indonesia and Congo. These audits are all at various different stages of
completion. The incremental adjustment arising from these tax audits was an additional provision of $36.8 million (2006: $0.5 million) including penalties but excluding interest. In accordance with the provisions of FAS 109 (9) (e), of the
incremental provision of $36.8 million, an amount of $10.8 million (tax and penalties) relating to intercompany transfers of depreciable assets, has been recorded in prepaid expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and not charged to the
Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under FAS 109 (9) (e), these prepaid expenses will be amortized to the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the useful life of the underlying assets. This incremental provision arises from both agreed
adjustments and changes in the estimated amount probable of being paid in two countries, the Netherlands and France. Our operations in these territories have co-operated fully with the relevant tax authorities whilst seeking to robustly defend their
tax positions. Whilst the Dutch audit was resolved in the year, the audit in France, which commenced in February 2007, has continued into 2008. The audit in the Netherlands covered the years between 2000 to 2004. The tax audit in France involves
several legal entities and initially covered the years from 2004 to 2006. However, the audit scope has effectively been extended to 2000 by way of a challenge to the utilization of losses brought forward. In addition, the French tax authorities have
adopted a very wide ranging approach and have raised a number of challenges including both international tax issues such as transfer pricing and territoriality as well as more routine domestic French matters.

This has created added complexity and uncertainty, and has caused management to reassess its
estimates of the eventual probable outcome and increase its pre-existing provision for French taxes. It may be necessary to defend our tax filings in court if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached with the French tax authorities.

In addition to the tax audit noted above, in October 2007, the French tax authorities also conducted a formal search of our French subsidiarys
offices in Paris. The documents authorizing the search claim that Acergy had inaccurately reported to the French tax authorities the extent of Acergys activities and revenues in France in an effort to minimize French taxes. The Group will
defend their tax positions and has appealed the authorization to search to the French Supreme Court.

During 2007, in preparation for the
possible adoption of FIN 48 next year, management also completed a detailed review of uncertain tax positions across the group. Although the Company does not now have to adopt FIN 48 because of the move to IFRS with effect from December 1,
2007, the information gathered during this review was used in quantifying the best estimate of the probable liability accrued under SFAS 5 (Accounting for Contingencies) as at November 30, 2007. The principal risks identified during
this review were issues that arise in respect of permanent establishment, transfer pricing and other similar international tax issues. In common with other international groups, the conflict between the Groups global operating model and the
jurisdictional approach of taxing authorities often leads to uncertainty on tax positions. Based on this review, management has revised its estimate of the most probable liability and has accrued additional taxes of $23 million excluding interest.
In addition to those liabilities deemed probable, the company also identified other uncertain tax positions which are considered less than probable but more than remote. Currently no provision is carried for these additional risk items.

In the UK, an enquiry was started with respect to the Groups UK ship owning companies and the amount of profits allocated to transport
activities and therefore eligible for tonnage tax treatment. Under the Tonnage Tax Regime the commercial profits of our UK ship owning companies arising from transport operations (allocated on a just and reasonable basis) are subject to tax
calculated by reference to a formula linked to the tonnage of the vessels concerned. The enquiry covers 2003 but is expected to extend into later years during the course of 2008. Whilst it is considered possible that a liability will arise,
currently no provision has been accrued for this risk. This risk cannot be reasonably estimated at this stage and the eventual resolution and quantification of this contingency will be influenced by the recently announced changes to the UK Tonnage
Tax Regime (refer below).

The cumulative benefit for all years to November 30, 2007 (as disclosed in our previous accounts) arising
from being within the Tonnage Tax Regime since 2002 is $11.6 million, excluding the total release of the deferred tax liability on ships of $36 million in the years ended November 30, 2001 and 2002. Had the Group not been (wholly or partially)
within the Tonnage Tax Regime, it is likely that additional accelerated capital allowances would have been available on fixed asset additions to reduce the immediate cash tax cost of any successful challenge by the UK tax authorities. However this
would have increased the total deferred tax liability.

On January 23, 2008, the UK Government signaled its intention to change the
tonnage tax legislation prospectively with effect from April 1, 2008 following discussions with the European Commission on the interpretation of the guidelines on State Aid. Whilst we are currently evaluating the impact of this change in
legislation, as currently drafted, it would exclude the ships owned by our UK ship owning companies from the UK Tonnage Tax Regime.

13. Pension commitments

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-Retirement Plans, an amendment
of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This statement requires an entity to recognize the over-funded or under- funded status of its post-retirement benefit plan(s) as an asset or a liability in its financial statements and to
recognize, through other comprehensive income, certain changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur. We adopted the provisions of SFAS. No 158 as of November 30, 2007. Restatement of previously
issued results is not required.

The impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 on the Consolidated Financial Statements as at November 30,
2007 was as follows:

Both defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans are operated, depending on location,
covering certain qualifying employees. Contributions under the defined contribution pension plans are determined as a percentage of gross salary. The expense relating to these plans for fiscal year 2007 was $6.7 million (2006: $3.7 million, 2005:
$3.0 million).

Defined benefit pension plans are operated as both funded and unfunded. The benefits under the defined benefit pension
plans are based on years of service and salary levels. Plan assets of the funded schemes are primarily comprised of marketable securities.

The movements in the benefit obligation during fiscal year 2007 were primarily due to the
increased number of employees within the defined benefit pension plans, the change in assumptions in respect of discount rates and rate of compensation increase, together with foreign currency exchange rate changes.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all funded pension plans excluding the unfunded Norwegian
state pension plan as at November 30, 2007 was $65.9 million (2006: $67.5 million).

As at November 30, 2007, the prepaid pension
asset includes $nil (2006: $3.7 million) in relation to defined benefit plans within which the accumulated benefit obligation is in excess of the value of the plan assets. The projected benefit obligations of all plans with an accumulated benefit
obligation in excess of plan assets, as at November 30, 2007, was $79.3 million (2006: $78.1 million) and the fair value of assets under these plans as at November 30, 2007 was $54.9 million (2006: $45.0 million). The accumulated benefit
obligations under these plans as at November 30, 2007 was $62.9 million (2006: $64.0 million).

Prior to the adoption of SFAS
No. 158, an additional minimum pension liability adjustment was required when the accumulated benefit obligation in a plan exceeded the fair value of the underlying plan assets. This was prescribed in SFAS No. 87 Employers
Accounting for Pensions. As at November 30, 2006, included within the accrued pension liability was a cumulative adjustment for minimum liability of $23.0 million for two of the defined benefit plans. The corresponding entry, recorded as
a component of other comprehensive income, was $15.0 million (net of deferred tax of $6.3 million) after foreign currency exchange rate changes $1.7 million.

The funded defined benefit pension plans weighted average asset allocations and the target allocations by asset category are as follows:

The investment strategy of the funded defined benefit pension plans takes into account the need for
the diversification of investments and the suitability of these investments to the plans asset classes. Investments are made to reduce long-term volatility taking into account the pension plans liabilities and the desired long-term
return on assets.

The weighted average assumptions used to determine obligations of funded defined benefit pension plans are as follows:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



During fiscal year 2006, when the facility was renegotiated, we incurred approximately $1 million in
fees associated with this arrangement, which has been capitalized and is being amortized over the remaining term of the agreement.

The
facility is used for general corporate purposes including the financing of ships and includes the issuance of guarantees to support contract performance obligations and other operating requirements. It provides for revolving loans of up to $100
million during the first three years, reducing to $75 million for the fourth year and further reducing to $50 million for the fifth year until the final date of maturity of August 10, 2011. Any unused amount under the revolving loan part of the
facility is available for the issuance of guarantees. Borrowings under this facility may be made in minimum increments of $5.0 million subject to the satisfaction of certain legal customary conditions. Additionally under this facility performance
guarantees can be issued with a maturity no later than February 10, 2013.

The facility utilization is as follows:

|(a) | The unutilized portion of the cash loan facility was available for guarantees.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The facility contains certain financial covenants in respect of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum level of net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA), a maximum level of total financial debt to tangible net worth, a minimum level of cash and cash equivalents and an interest cover covenant. The requirements of the financial covenants must be met on a consolidated basis at
quarterly intervals ending February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. In addition to the financial covenants listed above, the facility also contains negative pledges with respect to accounts
receivable and cash and includes representations, affirmative covenants and negative covenants and events of defaults which are customary for transactions of this nature and consistent with past practice. Such covenants specifically limit mergers or
transfers, incurrence of other indebtedness, investments and loans, distributions to shareholders and cash and cash equivalents that are permitted to be held by non-obligors.

Interest on the facility is payable at LIBOR plus a margin which is linked to the ratio of net debt to EBITDA and which may range from 0.8% to
1.9% per year. The margin is currently fixed at 0.8% for a period of three months and is reviewed every three months. The fee applicable for performance guarantees is linked to the same ratio, may range from 0.4% per year to 0.95% per
year and is currently fixed at 0.4% subject to review every three months.

The $500 million 2.25 per cent convertible notes due 2013

On September 11, 2006 the launch and pricing of an offering was announced of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible
notes due in fiscal year 2013. The issuance was completed on October 11, 2006 with the receipt of net proceeds after deduction of issuance related costs of $490.8 million. The issuance costs of $9.2 million are capitalized within assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized over the term of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



The convertible notes have an annual interest rate of 2.25% payable semi-annually in arrears on
April 11 and October 11 of each year up to and including fiscal year 2013. They were issued at 100% of their principal amount and unless previously redeemed, converted or cancelled will mature on October 11, 2013. The convertible
notes are listed on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The noteholders were granted an option which allows them to
convert the convertible notes into common shares with an initial conversion price of $24.05 equivalent to 20,790,021 common shares, or approximately 10.7% of our existing issued share capital as at November 30, 2006. This was subsequently
revised to $23.80 on May 31, 2007 following the payment of the dividend. The conversion price will continue to be adjusted in line with market practices for this type of instrument to provide fair value adjustments for items such as
payment of dividends and events like a change of control which can affect materially the marketability, liquidity or volatility of common shares.

There is also an option for Acergy to call the convertible notes after 4 years and 14 days from the date of issue if the price of the common shares exceeds 130% of the then prevailing conversion price over a specified period.

The following undertakings apply:



| |  |  | unsecured but with a negative pledge provision in respect of other current and future debt to ensure that the convertible notes will rank equally with other debt
issuance;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a cross default provision subject to a minimum threshold of $10 million and other events of default in connection with non-payment of the convertible notes;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | various undertakings in connection with the term of any further issuance of common shares, continuance of the listing of the shares and the convertible notes on
recognized stock exchanges; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price in certain circumstances.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The convertible notes were underwritten jointly by UBS and Lehman Brothers with the Bank of New York acting as Trustee and Agent.

There were no conversions of these convertible notes as of November 30, 2007.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are as

17. Related party transactions

Stolt-Nielsen S.A. (SNSA) sold its remaining shareholding in Acergy in fiscal year 2005 on January 13, 2005. Consequently they were no
longer a related party for fiscal years 2007 and 2006.

Related party transactions paid to/received from SNSA are as follows:

|                              |  |      |  |      |  |     

Corporate services agreement

Pursuant to a corporate services agreement, during fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, SNSA supplied, through a subsidiary, risk management and other services. The fee for these services was subject to negotiation and
agreement with SNSA on an annual basis.

During fiscal year 2005 SNSA supplied risk management services between December 1, 2004 and January 13,
2005. In addition and, until the end of June 2005, accounting services were provided to us for a lump sum fee and partly for an annual fee based on costs incurred in rendering those services. The fees for these management services were $0.3 million
for the period to January 13, 2005. The fees were included as a component of SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other (receipts) charges

In addition to the above corporate services, SNSA provided various other services to us, including certain
types of insurance coverage, payroll administration, and information technology. SNSA received a reimbursement of cost of insurance premiums of $2.4 million and a charge of total service fees of $0.5 million mainly related to management services
during fiscal year 2005. These fees were included as a component of SG&A expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Captive insurance company

SNSA owns Marlowe Insurance Ltd., a Bermuda captive insurance company (Marlowe) through which
certain of our interests were insured. A wholly-owned subsidiary of SNSA owns all of the common stock of Marlowe and we own one class of non-voting preference shares. In light of SNSAs phased sale of its holdings of our stock, during 2005 we
ceased to acquire insurance from or through Marlowe with effect from the expiration of the various insurance policies placed with or through Marlowe. As at November 30, 2007 we have settled our account with Marlowe and disposed of our minority
shareholding in Marlowe. There was no gain or loss as a result of this settlement.

Other matters

Transactions are routinely engaged in with a range of other related parties whose relationship arises through the joint ventures discussed above in Note 11 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

|--- | ---------------------------------------------

The
restructuring provisions for continuing operations had been fully utilized at the start of fiscal year 2007. The real estate costs provision were set up in fiscal year 2003 and resulted from the implementation of the management teams business
strategy for financial recovery, which included the restructuring of our cost and asset base. The real estate provision related to Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, and comprised accrued rental for office space vacated by Paragon Litwin. The
personnel and redundancy provision related to severance payments, vacation paid-in-lieu, and outplacement fees, and were principally incurred in Acergy Northern Europe and Canada, Acergy Africa and Mediterranean, Acergy Corporate and Acergy North
America and Mexico, due to the need to reduce staffing levels in Aberdeen, Stavanger, Nanterre, Corporate and Houston offices to reflect lower levels of business expected in 2004.

The classification of the service capabilities, are as follows:

Subsea construction, Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SURF)

This comprises the engineering, procurement and construction work relating to oil and gas fields that are developed subsea (in which the production wellhead is on the seabed), as opposed to surface installations (in
which the production wellhead is above the surface on a platform). This includes large multi-year projects encompassing all pipelay, riser and umbilical activities of a complete field development, tieback projects, which involve pipelaying,
umbilical installation and, in some cases, trenching or ploughing, to connect a new or additional subsea development to an existing production facility. The installation of jumpers and spool pieces, as well as hyperbaric welding, are also typical
SURF activities. This category also includes construction and diving support ship charters and rental of equipment including construction support ROVs. The proportion of net operating revenue from continuing operations for SURF activities for fiscal
year 2007 was 72% (2006: 64%; 2005: 53%).

Conventional

This comprises engineering, construction, installation and refurbishment activities relating to shallow water platforms attached to the seabed and their associated pipelines. Conventional projects involve shallow
water activities and proven technology, typically under long-term contracts. Conventional activities include design, construction and installation of fixed platforms. This category also includes survey/IMR ship charters and equipment rental in
relation to Conventional activities. The proportion of net operating revenue from continuing operations for Conventional activities for fiscal year 2007 was 13% (2006: 18%; 2005: 26%).

Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR)

This comprises, among other things,
platform surveys, debris removal and pipeline inspections using divers and/or ROVs on producing oil and gas field infrastructure, as a regular activity throughout the life of the offshore field. IMR activities are conducted both under long-term
frame agreements with clients and also in the spot market. This category also includes ship charters and equipment rental relating to IMR activities. The proportion of net operating revenue from continuing operations for IMR activities for fiscal
year 2007 was 3% (2006: 6%; 2005: 7%).

Trunklines

This comprises offshore installation of large-diameter pipelines used to carry oil or gas over long distances. Trunkline projects typically are based on large contracts, utilizing the Acergy Piper pipelay
barge. The proportion of net operating revenue from continuing operations for Trunkline activities for fiscal year 2007 was 10% (2006: 9%; 2005: 11%).

Survey

This comprises of support for both external clients and internal projects in the fields of construction
support, pipeline inspection and seabed mapping using specialized survey ships and Survey ROVs. The construction support activities include, among other things, pre-lay, as-laid and as-trenched surveys, spool metrology, deepwater positioning and
light installation works. Platform inspection is performed both underwater and on top-sides (Rope Access). The proportion of net operating revenue from continuing operations for Survey activities for fiscal year 2007 was 2% (2006: 3%; 2005: 2%).

Corporate

This comprises all activities that serve more than one segment including the joint ventures: NKT Flexibles, Seaway Heavy Lifting (SHL), and assets that have global mobility including construction and flowline lay
support ships, ROVs and other mobile assets that are not allocated to any one segment. It also includes management of offshore personnel, captive insurance activities and management and corporate services provided for the benefit of all our
businesses. The proportion of net operating revenue from continuing operations for Conventional activities for fiscal year 2007 was nil% (2006: nil%; 2005: 1%).

Field decommissioning services are also provided at the end of the working life of an offshore oilfield, although no material revenues were generated during any of the periods presented.

Net operating revenue from continuing operations by service capability are as follows:

During fiscal year 2007, the following transactions occurred:



| |  |  | The Company reissued 2,957,018 from our treasury shares to satisfy share option exercises for a total consideration of $11.8 million. The costs of these shares were
$53.1 million leading to a loss of $41.3 million. In addition 446,847 new shares were issued to satisfy further share option exercises for a consideration of $2.4 million.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company repurchased 8,098,625 common shares for a total consideration of $146.8 million.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During fiscal year 2006 the following transactions occurred:



| |  |  | 1,744,533 options were exercised, as disclosed in Note 23 Share option plans below.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On September 11, 2006 the commencement of the share buyback program was announced, up to a maximum of 10% of our issued share capital, pursuant to the standing
authorization granted to the Board at the annual general meeting held on May 15, 2006 for a maximum aggregate consideration of $300 million. Any such repurchases are open market repurchases on the Oslo Stock Exchange. During fiscal year 2006
914,800 common shares had been repurchased for a total consideration of $16.5 million.

Luxembourg law requires that 5%
of our unconsolidated net income each year is allocated to a legal reserve before declaration of dividends. This requirement continues until the reserve is 10% of our stated capital, as represented by common shares, after which no further
allocations are required until further issuance of shares. The legal reserve may also be satisfied by allocation of the required amount at the issuance of shares or by a transfer from paid-in surplus. The legal reserve is not available for
dividends. The legal reserve for all outstanding common shares has been satisfied and appropriate allocations are made to the legal reserve account at the time of each issuance of new shares.

The consolidated deficit represented undistributed earnings of non-consolidated joint ventures as at November 30, 2007 of $63.5 million (2006: $36.3
million).

22. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal year. For the diluted earnings per share calculation the net income from continuing operations
is adjusted for the effect of the convertible notes and the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of share options and the convertible notes.

There are no anti-dilutive securities.

23. Share option plans

The Group operates a
share option plan approved in April 2003 (the 2003 Plan). An option plan for key directors and employees resident in France (the French Plan), is a sub-plan under the 2003 Plan. Options granted under the SMIP, previously
named the Key Staff Retention Plan (see Note 24 Compensation and reward below), were issued under the 2003 Plan.

A
Compensation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors administers these plans. Options are awarded at the discretion of the Compensation Committee to directors and key employees.

Under the 2003 Plan options on up to but not exceeding 6.3 million Common Shares can be granted. This plan replaced the previous plan (the
1993 Plan). Any options granted under the French Plan count against this limit. Other than options granted under the SMIP, options under the 2003 Plan (and therefore also under the French Plan) may be granted, exercisable for periods of
up to ten years at an exercise price not less than the fair market value per share at the time the option is granted. Such options vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date, with an additional 25% vesting on each subsequent anniversary.
Share options exercises are satisfied by either issuing new shares or reissuing treasury shares. The key terms of options granted under the SMIP are described in Note 24 Compensation and reward below.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



Options were granted during fiscal year 2007 over 52,000 common shares (2006: 943,000), which
included 22,000 options (2006: 183,000) granted under the French Plan.

The charge for compensation expense for fiscal year 2007 was $7.1
million (2006: $4.5 million; 2005: $nil) (net of tax benefit of $5.1 million (2006: $0.4 million; 2005: $nil)) for non-performance based share options using the graded vesting attribution method. The SMIP compensation expense for fiscal year 2007
was $0.2 million (2006: $1.3 million; 2005: $9.5 million). SFAS No. 123(R) bases this charge on the fair value of the option at the grant date whereas under the previous bulletin APB No. 25, under which the SMIP was accounted for prior to
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the charge was based on the excess of the quoted market price at the balance sheet date over the option exercise price. Under APB No. 25, changes in the quoted market price were reflected as an adjustment in
the period the change occurred. The charge in fiscal year 2006 under APB No. 25 would have been $28.3 million. The effect of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) is to increase our income from continuing operations and net income for fiscal year
2006 by $22.5 million and to increase our basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2006 by $0.12 and $0.11 respectively.

Options activity including the SMIP, are as follows:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised, being the excess of the quoted market price of our
stock at the exercise date over the option exercise price, in fiscal year 2007 was $54.1 million (2006: $17.2 million; 2005: $8.4 million). The total fair value of share options vested in fiscal year 2007 was $6.2 million (2006: $4.2 million; 2005
$2.5 million).

During fiscal year 2007, the Board Compensation Committee determined that 98.3% of the objectives under the SMIP had been
met and therefore the performance-based share options vested on February 28, 2007 and became exercisable. The unvested options were subsequently forfeited. Of the options outstanding as at November 30, 2007, but not yet exercisable, nil
options (2006: 0.5 million; 2005: 1.2 million) had performance criteria attached that need to be fulfilled before they can be exercised.

The fair value of each share option grant is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions are as follows:

##### Table of Contents

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



The expected life of an option is determined by taking into consideration the vesting period of
options and the observed historical pattern of share option exercises. The expected volatility over the expected term of the option is estimated from our historical volatility. The expected dividend yield assumption is nil% as a historical pattern
of dividend payments had not been established at the grant dates and fiscal year 2007 was the first time the Group had paid a dividend.

The total compensation costs for share-based arrangement for fiscal year 2007 was $7.3 million (2006: $6.2 million; 2005: $9.5 million). The total compensation cost not yet recognized in relation to non-vested share options as at
November 30, 2007 was $6.0 million (2006: $12.6 million) and was expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.7 years (2006: 3.4 years).

The analysis of share options outstanding as at November 30, 2007, are as follows:

24. Compensation and reward

Incentive
compensation plans are in place, which provide for annual cash awards to officers, directors and employees.

Performance bonus

The performance bonus provides for annual cash rewards to employees based on regional financial and operating performance. The determination of an
employees individual award will be based on salary and individual performance measured against set criteria. The Compensation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors administers the policy. A charge has been recorded in fiscal year 2007
of $22.9 million (2006: $23.8 million; 2005: $16.0 million).

Deferred bonus

On February 28, 2007, a deferred bonus scheme was introduced for certain employees in senior management. This scheme allows the employee to defer 50%
of their annual performance bonus for a period of three years, which will entitle the employee to receive back the original deferred amount plus an additional amount equivalent to the original deferral. A similar scheme was also introduced on
April 30, 2007, for all employees in middle management whereby they have been given the option to defer up to 25% of their bonus for a period of two years. A charge was recorded in fiscal year 2007 of $5.1 million.

Retention bonus

On June 1, 2006, a retention bonus scheme was introduced for all key employees and middle management. This two-year scheme is based on salary and is payable in cash towards the end of fiscal year 2008 subject to
continuing employment. A charge was recorded in fiscal year 2007 of $7.1 million (2006: $2.7 million; 2005: $nil).

Senior management incentive plan
(SMIP)

As a condition of the new bonding facility agreement finalized in 2004, there was a requirement to put in place
a Key Staff Retention Plan (KSRP), now called the SMIP, in order to secure the services of certain senior executives through to the first quarter of 2007. The SMIP provided for deferred compensation as a combination of cash and
performance-based share options, linked to the attainment of a number of strategic objectives for each of the fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006. The objectives fixed in the plan, and agreed by the Board Compensation Committee, included targets for
net profit, management team retention, bonding lines, internal controls over accounting and audit activities, business growth and restructuring. During the fiscal year 2007, the Committee determined that 98.3% of the objectives had been met and
therefore the performance-based share options vested on February 28, 2007 and the cash compensation was paid.

The cash element of the
SMIP is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 5, and the share option element is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) from the date of adoption of that standard on December 1, 2005. Prior to the adoption of SFAS
No. 123(R) the share option element was accounted for as a variable plan under APB No. 25. As SFAS No. 123(R) was adopted using the modified prospective method no restatement of previously issued results was required.

The cumulative amount accrued in respect of the cash compensation element of the SMIP for fiscal year 2007 was $4.9 million (2006: $4.7 million; 2005:
$3.0 million), which was settled during fiscal year 2007.

The cumulative amount charged in respect of the options element of the SMIP for
as at November 30, 2007 was $13.6 million (2006: $13.4 million; 2005: $12.1 million). This represents a cumulative charge under SFAS No. 123(R) as at November 30, 2007 of $1.5 million (2006: $1.3 million) which was based on the fair
value of the options at the date of grant which was at the inception of the SMIP. The remaining cumulative charge of $12.1 million (2006: $12.1 million), calculated in accordance with APB No. 25, is based on the difference between the exercise
price of $2.30 per share and our share price as at November 30, 2005, the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), of $10.41 (2004: $5.86). The options under the SMIP are exercisable up until ten years from the date of grant.

25. Commitments and contingencies

Commitments
to purchase tangible assets from external suppliers as at November 30, 2007 were $110.0 million (2006: $107.4 million).

Bateman

We received a claim from Bateman Oil & Gas BV (Bateman), the company which acquired Paragon Litwin S.A., our
former engineering subsidiary, on June 9, 2004. Bateman is claiming an amount of $20million on the grounds of alleged misrepresentation when the business was sold, and on February 17, 2006 referred the claim for arbitration. A hearing was
held on January14-17, 2008 and we expect that the conclusions should be known during the course of summer 2008. We believe that the claim has no merit and it is not considered probable that we will suffer a material loss as a consequence of this
legal action. We have therefore recorded no provision for this claim.

Other matters

Contract disputes occur from time-to-time due to the nature of our activities as a contracting business involved in several long-term projects at any given time. Provisions are made to cover the expected risk of loss
to the extent that negative outcomes are likely and reliable estimates can be made. However, the final outcomes of these contract disputes are subject to uncertainties as to whether or not they develop into a formal legal action and therefore the
resulting liabilities may exceed the liability anticipated.

Furthermore, legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary conduct of business
are entered into from time to time. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of any litigation could require us to make
additional expenditures in excess of reserves that have been established. In the ordinary course of business, various claims, suits and complaints have been filed against us in addition to the ones specifically referred to above. Although the final
resolution of any such other matters could have a material effect on the operating results for a particular reporting period, it is considered that they should not materially affect our consolidated financial position.

For accounting purposes, legal costs are expensed as incurred.

26. Financial instruments

Operations are conducted in many countries and, as a result, are exposed to currency
fluctuations through generation of revenue and expenditure in the normal course of business. Future cash inflows and outflows are selectively hedged from client receipts and supplier payments in currencies other than the functional currency of the
contracting subsidiary entity. Major foreign currency exposures are to the Euro, British pound sterling, Norwegian krone and US dollars.

The changes in the fair value of derivative instruments will be offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the expected cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Where the derivative instrument forms part of a hedging
relationship which is designated and effective in accordance with SFAS No. 133 the offsetting changes in fair value are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the same reporting period that the hedged transaction affects
earnings. Where no such hedging relationship exists, the offsetting changes in fair value may be reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in different reporting periods. Derivative instruments for speculative purposes are not entered
into.

All derivative instruments are over-the-counter instruments entered into with major financial credit institutions to hedge our
committed exposures. Derivative instruments are primarily standard foreign exchange forward contracts, where there is a minimum level of exposure risk and have maturities up to three years. It is not considered that there exists a material exposure
to credit risk from third parties failing to perform according to the terms of derivative instruments.

The Group assess the effectiveness
of foreign exchange hedges based on changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot prices; changes in fair value due to changes in the difference between the spot price and the forward price are excluded from the assessment of ineffectiveness
and are recognized currently in earnings.

The Group record financial liabilities at initial fair value plus applicable costs, that are
subject to change in fair value due mainly to changes in interest rates. This is comprised of $9.5 million in debt issued by Sonangol to Sonamet, which pays interest at a fixed annual rate of 2.75% and has a fair value of $9.5 million. In respect to
this debt, the Group will pay $3.2 million in fiscal year 2008, $0.8 million in fiscal year 2009, $0.8 million in fiscal year 2010, $0.8 million in fiscal year 2011, $0.8 million in fiscal year 2012, and $3.1 million thereafter. The Group also has
$500.0 million in convertible notes, which pays interest at a fixed annual rate of 2.25% that is

convertible into common shares at $23.80 per share and has a fair value of $578.9 million, based on the quoted market price on the Euro MTF Market of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange. In respect to this debt, unless previously redeemed, converted or cancelled, the Group will pay $500.0 million in fiscal year 2013.

Foreign exchange forward contracts, maturing between December 1, 2007 and March 22, 2010 were outstanding as follows:

The fair value of derivative instruments recorded in the balance sheet as at November 30,
2007 of $7.0 million (2006: $2.1 million) representing assets of $10.1 million (2006: $2.2 million), and liabilities of $3.1 million (2006: $0.1 million).

Foreign exchange derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133 when the potential benefits of application of hedge accounting are believed to outweigh the related compliance
cost. All hedging relationships designated to date have been designated as cash flow hedges.

A gain has been recorded in OCI, as described
in Note 2 Accounting policiesderivatives and hedging activities, until the underlying transaction is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal year 2007 of $3.3 million (2006: $4.0 million) (net of tax
provision of $0.5 million (2006: $0.8 million)). The amount relating to hedges of capital expenditures, maturing on or before September 8, 2008, is a gain $0.9 million (2006; $4.0 million) (net of tax provision of $0.5 million (2006; $0.8
million)). Depreciation of the underlying fixed assets over their estimated useful lives will cause a proportionate amount of the deferred gain to be reclassified from AOCI to the Consolidated Statement of Operations; the amount expected to be
reclassified from AOCI in fiscal year 2008 is a gain of $0.6 million. The amount relating to hedges of operating exposures, maturing on or before May 15, 2009, is a gain of $2.4 million (2006; $nil). Recognition of the underlying revenue or
expense transactions will cause the related deferred gain/loss to be reclassified from AOCI to the Consolidated Statement of Operations; the amount expected to be reclassified from AOCI in fiscal year 2008 is a gain of $2.6 million.

In fiscal year 2007 a loss of $0.4 million (2006: $0.5 million) has been reported under Foreign currency exchange (losses) gains, net in the
Consolidated Statement of Operation being the ineffective or excluded component of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments designated under SFAS No. 133. In fiscal year 2007 $nil (2006: $nil; 2005: $nil) was reclassified from AOCI to
the Consolidated Statement of Operations in respect of discontinuance of cash flow hedges where it was probable that the original forecast transaction will not occur.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



The fair value of outstanding financial instruments is calculated, using appropriate market
information and valuation methodologies. In some cases, judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair values, thus the estimates provided herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market
exchange. The fair values are as follows:

value. The estimated value of our long-term debt is based on interest rates as at November 30, 2007 and 2006 using debt instruments of similar risk.

27. Guarantees

bonds, advance payment bonds, guarantees or standby letters of credit in respect of our performance obligation to be provided to our clients in connection with our work on specific projects.

under our contracts.

The following facilities are available to provide bank guarantees:

million). The bonds under these facilities were issued to guarantee our project performance and that of our subsidiaries and joint ventures to third parties
in the normal course of business. The amounts issued under these facilities as at November 30, 2007 was $42.8 million (2006: $0.5 million). During the year Banco Espirito Santo SA issued $14.8 million (2006: $nil) to guarantee project
performance in the normal course of business for our consolidated joint venture SonacergyServicos E Construcoes Petroliferas, Lda. The Group had past arrangements with a number of financial institutions to issue bank guarantees of our behalf.
As at November 30, 2007, the aggregate amount of guarantees issued under these old facilities was $15.1 million (2006: $48.8million). There was no availability for further issuances under these facilities.

The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could be lost under the guarantees if there is non-performance under
a contract by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. Such amounts greatly exceed anticipated losses. Outstanding issued bank guarantees are as follows.
