Additional comments:




    1. During November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet
       Classification of Deferred Taxes, which simplifies the presentation of
       deferred income taxes. ASU 2015-17 provides presentation requirements to
       classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a
       classified statement of financial position. The standard is effective for
       fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods
       within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for any interim
       and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. We early
       adopted ASU 2015-17 effective October 31, 2015, retrospectively. Adoption
       resulted in a $1.7 million decrease in other accounts receivable and
       prepaid expenses, a $0.6 million decrease in other accounts payable and
       accrued expenses, a $0.7 million decrease in Long-term deferred tax
       assets, net, and a $1.8 million decrease in Long-term deferred tax
       liability, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2014.
       Adoption had no impact on our results of operations and cash flow.


    2. During the three months period ended December 31, 2015 the company
       adjusted the gain from the sale of equity investment of affiliated
       company reported in the three months period ended March 31, 2015.



    3. During Q3 2015, the Company identified an error related to the
       classification of US employees' social benefits expenses. Previously, the
       Company classified these expenses in 'general and administrative
       expenses' instead of classifying a part of them in 'Cost of goods'
       (product and services) for employees allocated to this line item. This
       change in classification also impacted the capitalization of inventory
       balances. There was no material impact on the statement of cash flows.The
       error only impacts one segment of the Company, Heat Transfer Services and
       Products. The Company will revise previously reported segment information
       in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015.
       The Company assessed the materiality of this error in accordance with the
       SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 and Accounting Standards Codification
       Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and concluded that
       the previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated.
       In accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin, the Company will
       correct these errors by revising the affected financial statements in the
       Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Following is the effect of the revision on the Company's previously reported results:
