Brent remains above $100 in the face of EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration)
reserve release in April 2011 and the weak global economy
By the end of 2011, Global Exploration & Production (E&P) spending will have
reached the 2008 pre-recession level of $500 billion
This E&P confidence is reflected in improved helicopter tender activity, principally for
FY12/13 work and gives us a positive outlook for our business
More than 80 % of global E&P spending is Non-US, with Brazil, West Africa and
Southeast Asia as the front runners with a growth rate of 11%
55% of our fleet and 86% of our operating revenue comes from international markets

Introduction to LACE and the LACE Rate
Large Aircraft Equivalent
(LACE)
LACE
normalizes revenue and is
functionally similar to BOE in the E&P
business
LACE
combines Large, Medium and
Small aircraft into a simple and similar
form of revenue producing asset
LACE Rate”, Revenue/LACE, 
will become the “Day Rate
equivalent for our business
