Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Our news release dated February 20, 2008, concerning financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, is incorporated by reference herein. The press release contains certain measures (discussed below) which may be deemed “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In the press release, we discuss field operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007. Management believes field operating income is a useful measure of operating results since the measure only deducts expenses directly related to operations from revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income before general and administrative expenses, and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP measures are included in the press release.

The conference call referred to in the news release may include a discussion of other non-GAAP financial measures, such as (1) average diluted share count for the fourth quarter of 2007 as if the reclassification of our ordinary shares completed on November 27, 2007 (the “Reclassification”) had been accounted for as a share buyback and not as a reverse stock split transaction; (2) diluted earnings per share for the third and fourth quarters of 2007 excluding the gain from the sale of the Peregrine I, certain costs related to the merger with GlobalSantaFe Corporation completed on November 27, 2007 (the “Merger”), certain tax items resulting from changes in estimates related to prior year taxes, and losses from the retirement of debt, and accounting for the Reclassification as a share buyback and not as a reverse stock split transaction; and (3) diluted earnings per share for the third and fourth quarters of 2007 excluding the gain from the sale of the Peregrine I, certain costs related to the Merger, certain tax items resulting from changes in estimates related to prior year taxes, and losses from the retirement of debt, and accounting for the Reclassification as a share buyback and not as a reverse stock split transaction, and also excluding the effect of bringing our effective tax rate to the annual rate and excluding net gains from the disposal of assets. Management believes that providing this information will help investors compare results between the third and fourth quarters of 2007 that would otherwise be difficult to understand as a result of the completion of the Reclassification and the Merger in the fourth quarter of 2007. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, weighted average diluted share count (with respect to clause (1) above) and diluted earnings per share (with respect to clauses (2) and (3) above), and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP measures, are included in the news release or posted on our website at www.deepwater.com.

TRANSOCEAN INC. REPORTS

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2007 RESULTS

HOUSTON—Transocean Inc. (NYSE: RIG) today reported net income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 of $1,056 million, or $4.17 per diluted share, on record quarterly revenues of $2,077 million. The results compare to net income of $621 million, or $2.92 per diluted share, on revenues of $1,186 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2006.

On November 27, 2007, Transocean Inc. merged with GlobalSantaFe Corporation (the “Merger”) and reclassified our ordinary shares into cash and shares (the “Reclassification”). Reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2007 included approximately one month from GlobalSantaFe’s operations and the impact of recording GlobalSantaFe’s assets and liabilities at fair market value as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Fourth quarter 2007 results include after-tax income of $194 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, comprised of the following:

 

   

$233 million gain resulting from the sale of the Peregrine I drillship;

 

   

$36 million benefit for discrete tax items;

 

   

$8 million loss resulting from the retirement of debt; and

 

   

$67 million of Merger-related compensation costs.

Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter 2007 is based on a weighted average diluted share count of 254 million shares, which included the effect of restating the historical share count for the Reclassification. The weighted average diluted share count for the quarter without restatement would have been 309(1) million shares. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2006 included after-tax gains of $260 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, resulting primarily from the sale of two rigs, other income recognized from the tax sharing agreement with TODCO and a tax benefit for discrete items. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter 2006 is based on a weighted average diluted share count of 213 million shares, which includes the effect of restating the historical diluted share count for the Reclassification.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net income totaled $3,131 million, or $14.14 per diluted share, on revenues of $6,377 million. For 2006, net income was $1,385 million, or $6.10 per diluted share, on revenues of $3,882 million. Results for 2007 included after-tax income of $563 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, including $369 million recognized during the first nine months of 2007 relating to payments received under the TODCO tax sharing agreement, rig sales and discrete tax items plus the $194 million recognized during the fourth quarter. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 included after-tax income totaling $451 million, or $1.97 per share, resulting from the sale of eight rigs and the TODCO tax sharing agreement and discrete tax items. Diluted earnings


per share for the full year 2007 is based on a weighted average diluted share count of 222 million shares which includes the effect of restating the historical share count for the Reclassification. The weighted average diluted share count for 2007 without restatement would have been 303(1) million shares.

Robert L. Long, Chief Executive Officer of Transocean Inc., stated, “This past year was historic for Transocean. It was a record year in terms of financial, operational and safety performance, and we entered 2008 with a record-high revenue backlog. By merging with GlobalSantaFe, we transformed the company and now have a larger global footprint and more extensive technical capabilities. We also recapitalized the company and returned $15.0 billion in cash to Transocean and GlobalSantaFe shareholders.”

Operations Quarterly Review

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 increased 35.1 percent to $2,077 million, compared to revenues of $1,538 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Of the $539 million quarter-to-quarter increase, $481 million was related to the inclusion of one month’s revenues from GlobalSantaFe including $88 million of non-cash contract intangible revenue. The remaining $58 million of the total increase was primarily due to a higher average dayrate for Transocean, which rose 2.0 percent to $224,000 from $219,700 for the prior quarter. The increase in average dayrate was experienced across all rig categories, primarily as a result of rigs commencing new contracts at the higher prevailing current dayrates.

Operating and maintenance expenses were $923 million compared to $663 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $260 million. GlobalSantaFe’s operations represented $151 million of the increase. Of the remaining $109 million increase, $59 million was for merger-related compensation costs and $28 million was for planned shipyards, maintenance and fleet-wide compensation increases and the remainder for discrete unplanned major projects and the impact of the weakening U.S. dollar.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased to $195 million versus $103 million in the third quarter of 2007. GlobalSanteFe’s operations accounted for all of this increase.

General and administrative expenses increased to $60 million compared to $27 million in the prior quarter. GlobalSantaFe’s operations accounted for $4 million of the increase, and $23 million was for merger-related expenses.

For the fourth quarter of 2007, the pretax gain from the disposal of assets, net, was $254 million compared to $8 million in the third quarter of 2007, primarily related to the sale of the Peregrine I.

For the fourth quarter of 2007, operating income before general and administrative expenses totaled $1,213 million, a 55.5 percent increase from $780 million reported for the third quarter of 2007. The $433 million increase included $237 million from GlobalSantaFe’s operations, partially offset by $59 million in merger-related compensation expenses. The remainder of the increase was related to the legacy Transocean operations, primarily due to an increase in revenues and an increase in the gain from the disposal of assets, partially offset by the above-described increase in operating and maintenance expenses.

Field operating income(2) (defined as revenues less operating and maintenance expenses) for the fourth quarter 2007 increased 31.9 percent to $1,154 million compared to $875 million for the third


quarter of 2007. The $279 million increase in field operating income included $330 million related to the inclusion of GlobalSantaFe, partially offset by $59 million of merger-related compensation expenses. Higher legacy Transocean revenues from increased dayrates were offset by increased operating and maintenance expense.

Liquidity and Interest Expense

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized for the fourth quarter of 2007, increased to $79 million compared to $23 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily related to increased borrowings incurred on November 27, 2007, which were used to fund the $15.0 billion in cash payments to shareholders of both companies associated with the Reclassification and Merger. The increase in net interest expense was partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest related to the six legacy Transocean and two legacy GlobalSantaFe ultra-deepwater rigs under construction.

Cash flow from operating activities increased to $915 million for fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $897 million for the third quarter 2007. For the full year 2007, cash flow from operating activities totaled $3,073 million compared to $1,237 million for 2006. As of December 31, 2007, total debt was $17.3 billion, an increase of $14.7 billion from September 30, 2007.

Effective Tax Rate

The company’s Annual Effective Tax Rate(3) for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 12.5 percent, excluding the impact on income before income tax related to the gains from rig sales and payments received under the TODCO tax sharing agreement as well as excluding from income tax expense various discrete tax items. The Effective Tax Rate(4) of 2.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007 reflects the impact of rig sales and a $36 million favorable impact resulting from changes in estimates and resolution of prior years’ tax disputes in various jurisdictions.

Chart #1: Average Contracted Dayrate by Rig Type
Qtr 1 2008 through Qtr 4 2008 (Unaudited)
The Jackups category consists of our jackup fleet.
Jackups
The Other Floaters category is generally comprised
of those non-High-Specification Floaters with a
water depth capacity of less than 4,500 feet.
Other
Floaters
The Other Deepwater Floaters include the remaining
semi-submersible rigs and drillships that have a
water depth capacity of at least 4,500 feet.
Other High-Specification Floaters were built in the in
the mid to late 1980s, are capable of drilling in harsh
environments and have greater displacement than
previously constructed rigs resulting in larger
variable load capacity, more useable deck space
and better motion characteristics.
Ultra-Deepwater Floaters have high-pressure mud
pumps and a water depth capability of 7,500 feet or
greater.
The High-Specification Floaters category is a
consolidation of the Ultra-Deepwater Floaters, Other
High-Specification Floaters and Other Deepwater
Floaters as described below.

Chart #2: Out-of-Service Rig Months
Qtr 1 2007 through Qtr 4 2008 (Unaudited)
Rig time described as "shipyard" refers to periods
during which a rig is out of service as a result of
other planned shipyards, surveys, repairs,
regulatory inspections or other planned service or
work on the rig excluding reactivations and
upgrades.
Shipyard
Rig time described as "upgrade" includes the
Sedco 702 and Sedco 706 which are undergoing
or forecast to undergo a shipyard project to
enhance the operational capabilities of the rig.
Upgrade
Rig time described as "reactivation“, relating to 
the C.K. Rhein Jr., which was previously cold
stacked.
Reactivation
Includes mobilization and demobilization to and
from operating contracts and other activities such
as shipyards excluding those mobilization and
demobilization periods
covered
in
Reactivation
and Upgrades.
Mobilization
Time when a rig is not available to earn an
operating dayrate due to shipyards, contract
preparation, mobilization, reactivation or
upgrades.
Out-of-Service
Time expressed in months that each rig has been,
or is forecast to be Out of Service as reflected in
the company's Fleet Status Update Report as of
February 5
, 2008. Also includes out of service
time of less than 14 days that is not disclosed in
the Fleet Status report.

Chart #3: Operating & Maintenance (O&M) Costs Trends
(Unaudited)
Our operating and maintenance costs represent all direct and
indirect costs associated with the operation and maintenance
of our drilling rigs. Operating and maintenance costs also
includes all costs related to local and regional offices as well
as all costs related to operations support, engineering
support, marketing and other similar costs.  The principal
elements of these costs are direct and indirect labor and
benefits, repair and maintenance, contract preparation
expenses, insurance, boat and helicopter rentals, professional
and technical fees, freight costs, communications, customs
duties, tool rentals and services, fuel and water, general taxes
and licenses. Labor, repair and maintenance costs, insurance
premiums, personal injury losses and drilling rig casualty
losses represent the most significant components of our
operating and maintenance costs
O&M Costs *
Includes the total amount of days a rig is deemed to be out of
service. This relates to times when a rig is out of service due
to shipyards, mobilization and short-term idle periods.
Out of Service
Days
Denotes the total O&M costs while a rig is out of service
based upon Out of Service Days, as defined below. Out of
Service costs are the difference between total operating and
maintenance costs and the In-Service Costs.
Out of Service
Denotes the total amount of days a rig is deemed to be in-
service under contract operations. This excludes all out of
service time relating to shipyards, mobilization and short-
term out of contract periods but includes the operational
downtime of in service rigs. The average number of days may
also fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of rigs being
reactivated, sold or stacked in the quarters.
Rig Operating
Days
Denotes the total O&M costs of a rig while in service based
upon the
Rig
Operating
Days
(excluding
shorebase
or
common support costs), as defined below.
Operating Rigs
Includes Integrated Services, Drilling Management Services,
Oil and
Gas
Properties,
and
all

Calculated by multiplying the contracted operating dayrate by the firm contract period from February 1st, 2008 forward.  Reflects firm
commitments represented by signed contracts.  Contract backlog excludes revenues from mobilization, demobilization, contract preparation,
integrated services and customer reimbursables.  Our backlog calculation assumes that we receive the full contractual dayrate, which could be
higher than the actual Dayrate that we receive because of a number of factors (rig downtime, suspension of operations, etc....) including some
beyond our control.

   Transocean Inc. (NYSE: RIG) Interim Fleet Status Report

 

THIS INTERM FLEET STATUS REPORT HAS BEEN UPDATED FOR NINE NEW CONTRACT SIGNINGS AND THE RECLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS HELD FOR SALE. ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FORTHCOMING FLEET STATUS REPORT TO BE ISSUED IN EARLY MARCH.

The information contained in this Fleet Update report (the “Information”) is as of the date of the report only and is subject to change without notice to the recipient. Transocean Inc. assumes no duty to update any portion of the Information.

DISCLAIMER. NEITHER TRANSOCEAN INC. NOR ITS AFFILIATES MAKE ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE) REGARDING THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT, WHICH INFORMATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” Neither Transocean Inc. nor its affiliates will be liable to any recipient or anyone else for any inaccuracy, error or omission, regardless of cause, in the information set forth in this report or for any damages (whether direct or indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary) resulting therefrom.

No Unauthorized Publication or Use. All information provided by Transocean Inc. in this report is given for the exclusive use of the recipient and may not be published, redistributed or retransmitted without the prior written consent of Transocean Inc.

Client Contract Duration, Timing and Dayrates and Risks Associated with Operations. The duration and timing (including both starting and ending dates) of the client contracts are estimates only, and client contracts are subject to cancellation, suspension and delays for a variety of reasons, including some beyond the control of Transocean Inc. Also, the dayrates set forth in the report are estimates based upon the full contractual operating dayrate. However, the actual average dayrate earned over the course of any given contract will be lower and could be substantially lower. The actual average dayrate will depend upon a number of factors (rig downtime, suspension of operations, etc.) including some beyond the control of Transocean Inc. Our client contracts and operations are generally subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and we urge you to review the description and explanation of such risks and uncertainties in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The dayrates do not include revenue for mobilizations, demobilizations, upgrades, shipyards or recharges.

Out of Service Days (Shipyards, Mobilizations, Etc.). Estimated out of service time for 2008 is noted where the company anticipates that a rig will be out of service and not be available to earn an operating dayrate for a period of 14 days or longer. Additional rig out of service time in 2008 may occur and will be added to the report as such events arise. No estimates are made for 2009 and beyond.

Out of service time is denoted as “Mob/Contract Prep” and “Shipyard or Project” out of service days. Mob/Contract Prep refers to periods during which the rig is being mobilized, demobilized and/or modifications or upgrades are being made as a result of contract requirements. Shipyard or Project refers to periods during which the rig is out of service as a result of other planned shipyards, surveys, repairs, regulatory inspections or other planned service or work on the rig. Similar Mob/Contract Prep and Shipyard or Project periods of durations under 14 days will occur but are not noted in the Update. In some instances such as certain mobilizations, demobilizations, upgrades and shipyards, we are paid compensation by our clients that is generally recognized over the life of the underlying contract, although such compensation is not typically significant in relation to the revenue generated by the dayrates we charge our clients.

Forward-Looking Statement. The statements made in the Fleet Update that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements made in the Fleet Update include, but are not limited to, statements involving the estimated duration of client contracts, contract dayrate amounts, future contract commencement dates and locations and planned shipyard projects and other out of service time. Such statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to, uncertainties relating to the level of activity in offshore oil and gas exploration and development, exploration success by producers, oil and gas prices, competition and market conditions in the contract drilling industry, shipyard delays, actions and approvals of third parties, possible cancellation or suspension of drilling contracts as a result of mechanical difficulties or performance, the Company’s ability to enter into and the terms of future contracts, the availability of qualified personnel, labor relations and the outcome of negotiations with unions representing workers, operating hazards, factors affecting the duration of contracts including well-in-progress provisions, the actual amount of downtime, factors resulting in reduced applicable dayrates, hurricanes and other weather conditions, terrorism, political and other uncertainties inherent in non-U.S. operations (including the risk of war, civil disturbance, seizure or damage of equipment and exchange and currency fluctuations), the impact of governmental laws and regulations, the adequacy of sources of liquidity, the effect of litigation and contingencies and other factors described above and discussed in the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K, in the Company’s Forms 10-Q for subsequent periods and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, which are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements.

Fleet Classification. Transocean Inc. uses a rig classification for its semisubmersible rigs and drillships to reflect the company’s strategic focus on the ownership and operation of premium, high specification floating rigs. The rig classification “High Specification Floaters” is comprised of “Ultra-Deepwater” which refers to the latest generation of semisubmersible rigs and drillships possessing the latest technical drilling capabilities and the ability to operate in water depths equal to or greater than 7,500 feet, “Deepwater” which refers to semisubmersible rigs and drillships that possess the ability to drill in water depths equal to or greater than 4,500 feet, and “Harsh Environment” comprised of five of the company’s premium harsh environment rigs, the semisubmersibles Henry Goodrich, Transocean Leader, Paul B. Loyd, Jr., Transocean Arctic and Polar Pioneer. The category titled “Midwater Floaters” represents semisubmersible rigs and drillships that possess the ability to drill in water depths of up to 4,499 feet. The jackup fleet is subdivided into two categories; “High Specification” which consists of harsh environment and high performance jackups and “Standard”.

Footnotes:

(1) Dates shown are the original service date and the date of the most recent upgrade, if any.

(2) Expiration dates represent the company’s current estimate of the earliest date the contract for each rig is likely to expire. Some rigs have two contracts in continuation, so the second line shows the estimated earliest availability. Many contracts permit the client to extend the contract. The out of service time represents those days in 2008 where the company anticipates that a rig will be out of service and not be available to earn an operating dayrate for a period of 14 days or longer. Please refer to the “Out of Service Days (Shipyards, Mobilizations, Etc.)” section of the Cover Page for a full description.

(3) Represents the full operating dayrate, although the average dayrate over the term of the contract will be lower and could be substantially lower. Does not reflect incentive programs which are typically based on the rig’s operating performance against a performance curve. Please refer to the “Client Contract Duration and Dayrates and Risks Associated with Operations” section of the Cover Page for a description of dayrates.

(4) We have been awarded a five-year drilling contract by Chevron for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship to be named Discoverer Clear Leader. Operations are expected to commence during the second quarter of 2009, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors. During the first three years of the contract, the contract dayrate is $469,000. The dayrate for the last two years of the contract is linked to the standard West Texas Intermediate crude oil price with a floor of $40 per barrel resulting in a contract dayrate of $400,000 and a ceiling of $70 per barrel resulting in a contract dayrate of $500,000.

(5) We have been awarded a four-year drilling contract by StatoilHydro for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship to be named Discoverer Americas. Operations are expected to commence by mid-2009, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors.

(6) We have been awarded a five-year contract by Chevron for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship to be named Discoverer Inspiration. Operations are expected to commence during the first quarter of 2010, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors.

(7) In September 2007 we exercised an option to construct a Gusto MSC/P 10,000 design drillship which is yet to be named. Construction of the drillship is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2010. We are actively marketing the drillship.

(8) We own a 50 percent interest in this ultra-deepwater Samsung-design drillship to be named Deepwater Pacific I through a joint venture company with Pacific Drilling Limited. The joint venture has been awarded a four-year drilling contract with Reliance for construction of the drillship. Operations are expected to commence during the third quarter of 2009, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors. During the first six months of the contract, the contract dayrate is $495,000, regardless of the duration of the remaining term of the contract. The dayrate for the remaining three and one-half years of the contract is $530,000. On or prior to October 31, 2008, the contract may be extended to five years, in which case the dayrate would be reduced to $515,000 for the remaining four and one-half years.

(9) We own a 50 percent interest in this ultra-deepwater Samsung-design drillship to be named Deepwater Pacific II through a joint venture company with Pacific Drilling Limited. The drillship is expected to finish construction in first quarter 2010. The joint venture is actively marketing the drillship.

(10) We have been awarded a drilling contract by BP for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship. The rig will be owned by a joint venture in which the company owns 65 percent. The contract has an initial term of five years, but can be converted at the customer’s election by the end of March 2008 to a seven-year term. Operations are expected to commence during the third quarter of 2010, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to Angola and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors. The dayrate to be paid on a five-year contract period is $460,000, or $430,000 should the contract be converted to a seven-year term.

(11) We have been awarded a seven-year drilling contract by BP for the construction of a Keppel Fels MSC DSS 51 design semisubmersible to be named GSF Development Driller III. Operations are expected to commence by mid-2009, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to Angola and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors.

(12) Dayrate for contract period October 2007 through October 2010 to be set using a quarterly average of the stated contract dayrates on the company’s other Ultra-Deepwater, dynamically positioned rigs operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The dayrate is currently estimated to range from $447,000 in January 2008 to $487,000 in October 2010.

(13) Current contract provides for a bonus incentive opportunity not reflected in the stated current contract dayrate.

(14) Reflects the current contracted dayrate which is comprised of a foreign currency component and which could change due to foreign exchange adjustments.

(15) Reflects the current contracted dayrate which could change due to cost escalations.

(16) Dayrate reflects a base level to be paid. The rig will receive a dayrate higher than the stated base level when utilized in a water depth of greater than 1,500 feet.

(17) Dayrate subject to annual adjustment based on market dayrates within specific parameters.

(18) Owned by a joint venture in which the company owns an 80 percent interest. Dayrate indicated reflects 100 percent of contract rate.

(19) Operated under a management contract with the rig’s owner. The rig is currently engaged in scientific geological coring activities and is owned by a joint venture in which a subsidiary of the company has a 50 percent interest. Dayrate indicated reflects 100 percent of contract rate.

(20) Operated under a management contract with the rig’s owner.

(21) On June 30, 2007, the riser for GSF Rig 135 was lost at sea when the transport vessel capsized. A newly manufactured riser that was to be shipped to GSF Rig 140 to replace GSF Rig 140’s existing riser was redirected to GSF Rig 135. Since we were obligated to provide a new riser for GSF Rig 140’s current contract, the dayrate for GSF Rig 140 was reduced by $55,000 per day until such time that we are able to replace the riser. We believe that the $55,000 dayrate reduction is covered under applicable insurance policies.

(22) For the period of time that this rig is contracted to Applied Drilling Technology International, the drilling management services division of the Company’s U.K. operating subsidiary, or Applied Drilling Technology Inc., the Company’s U.S. drilling management services subsidiary, accounting rules require that we eliminate the revenues and costs related to those contracts.

(23) This rig has been designated as held for sale but is currently still under contract.
