TRANSOCEAN SEDCO FOREX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION Transocean Sedco Forex Inc. (together with its majority owned subsidiaries and predecessors, the "Company", unless the context requires otherwise) is a leading international provider of deepwater and harsh environment contract drilling services for oil and gas wells. As of July 31, 2000, the Company owns, has partial ownership interests in, operates, or has under construction 72 mobile offshore drilling units. The Company contracts these drilling rigs, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to drill offshore wells. On December 31, 1999, the merger of Transocean Offshore Inc. and Sedco Forex Holdings Limited ("Sedco Forex") was completed. Sedco Forex was the offshore contract drilling service business of Schlumberger Limited ("Schlumberger") and was spun-off immediately prior to the merger transaction. As a result of the merger, Sedco Forex became a wholly owned subsidiary of Transocean Offshore Inc., which changed its name to Transocean Sedco Forex Inc. The merger was accounted for as a purchase, with Sedco Forex as the acquiror for accounting purposes. The balance sheets presented in these condensed financial statements, the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 represent the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the merged company. The statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 reflect the operating results and cash flows of Sedco Forex and not those of historical Transocean Offshore Inc. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in joint ventures owned 50 percent or less. The condensed financial statements for the period prior to the merger represent the offshore contract drilling service business of Schlumberger, which comprised certain businesses, operations, assets and liabilities of Sedco Forex and its subsidiaries and of Schlumberger and its subsidiaries, as defined in a distribution agreement. Although Sedco Forex was not a separate public company prior to the merger, the condensed financial statements are presented as if Sedco Forex had existed as an entity separate from its parent, Schlumberger. The condensed financial statements include the historical revenues and expenses that were directly related to the offshore contract drilling service business of Schlumberger during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and have been prepared using Schlumberger's historical results of operations of Sedco Forex. Prior to the merger, certain Schlumberger corporate expenses, including centralized research and engineering, legal, accounting, employee benefits, real estate, insurance, information technology services, treasury and other corporate and infrastructure costs, although not directly attributable to Sedco Forex's operations, were allocated to Sedco Forex on bases that Schlumberger and Sedco Forex considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by Sedco Forex (see Note 7). The financial information for the period prior to the merger included herein may not reflect the combined operating results and cash flows of Sedco Forex had Sedco Forex been a separate, stand-alone entity during the period presented. Because Sedco Forex was historically not operated as a separate, stand-alone entity, and in many cases Sedco Forex's results were included in the consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger on a divisional basis, there are no separate meaningful historical equity accounts for Sedco Forex prior to the merger. 4

TRANSOCEAN SEDCO FOREX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 2 - GENERAL BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, these financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000 or for any future period. In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, management was required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from such estimates. The accompanying condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW INFORMATION - Cash payments for interest and income taxes, net were $45.4 million and $34.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and $10.8 million and $19.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1999. GOODWILL - The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired is accounted for as goodwill and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The amortization period is based on the nature of the offshore drilling industry, long-lived drilling equipment and the long-standing relationships with core customers. Accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2000 totaled $13.4 million. CAPITALIZED INTEREST - Interest costs for the construction and upgrade of qualifying assets are capitalized. The Company capitalized interest costs on construction work in progress of $22.8 million and $45.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and $6.7 million and $11.7 million for the corresponding periods of 1999. CHANGE IN ESTIMATE - As a result of the merger, the Company conformed its policies relating to estimated rig lives and salvage values. Estimated useful lives of its offshore drilling units now range from 18 to 35 years, reflecting maintenance history and market demand for these drilling units. Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 was reduced by approximately $18 million (net $0.08 per diluted share) and $35 million (net $0.17 per diluted share), respectively, as a result of conforming these policies. INCOME TAXES - Income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. There is no expected relationship between the provision for or benefit from income taxes and income or loss before income taxes because the countries have taxation regimes which vary not only with respect to nominal rate, but also in terms of the availability of deductions, credits and other benefits. Variations also arise because income earned and taxed in any particular country or countries fluctuates from year to year. SEGMENTS - The Company's operations share similar economic characteristics and have been aggregated into one reportable segment. The Company operates in one industry segment, offshore contract drilling services. The Company provides these services with different types of offshore drilling equipment located in several geographic regions. The location of the Company's rigs and the allocation of resources to build or upgrade rigs is determined by the activities and needs of customers. 5

TRANSOCEAN SEDCO FOREX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform with the current period's presentation. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION - The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise identified. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB 133, to delay the effective date for the adoption of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Because of the Company's limited use of derivatives to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new statement will have a material effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001. NOTE 3 - PRO FORMA COMBINED OPERATING RESULTS Unaudited pro forma combined operating results of Sedco Forex and Transocean Offshore Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 1999, assuming the merger (see Note 1) had been completed as of January 1, 1999, are summarized as follows: Six months ended June 30, 1999 - ---------------------------------------- --------- (In thousands, except per share data) Operating revenues $893,514 Operating income 215,948 Net income 172,022 Earnings per share: Basic $ 0.82 Diluted 0.82 The pro forma information includes adjustments for additional depreciation based on the fair market value of the drilling and other property and equipment acquired, the amortization of goodwill arising from the transaction, decreased interest expense for related party debt replaced by borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement (see Note 5), decreased interest income associated with the reduction of cash balances and related adjustments for income taxes. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the transaction been effected on the assumed date or the results of operations for any future periods. 6

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 4 - UPGRADE AND EXPANSION OF DRILLING FLEET Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $308 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and include $55 million, $57 million, $51 million, $51 million and $66 million spent on the construction of the Sedco Express, Sedco Energy, Cajun Express, Discoverer Spirit and Discoverer Deep Seas, respectively. The Company also spent $25 million on the construction of the Trident 20 during the six months ended June 30, 2000, which was offset by $30 million in client reimbursements for the estimated incremental cost to construct the rig in the Caspian Sea. NOTE 5 - DEBT Debt is comprised of the following: June 30, December 31, 2000 1999 - --------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------ (In thousands) Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures(1) $ 490,715 $ -- Term Loan Agreement 400,000 400,000 Revolving Credit Agreement -- 235,000 Secured Loan Agreement 191,042 235,174 8.00% Debentures 197,815 197,774 7.45% Notes 94,027 93,916 Secured Rig Financing 77,003 85,145 6.90% Notes Payable 17,041 19,153 Other 59 -- - --------------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- Total Debt 1,467,702 1,266,162 Less Current Maturities 54,982 78,584 - --------------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- Total Long-Term Debt $1,412,720 $1,187,578 =================================================== ========== ========== (1) Net of unamortized discount and issue costs. Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures - In May 2000, the Company issued Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due May 2020 with a face value at maturity of $865.0 million. The Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures were issued at a price to the public of $579.12 per debenture and accrue original issue discount at a rate of 2.75% per annum compounded semi-annually to reach a face value at maturity of $1,000 per debenture. The Company will pay no interest on the debentures prior to maturity and has the right to redeem the debentures after three years for a price equal to the issuance price plus accrued original issue discount to the date of redemption. A debenture holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the debentures on the third, eighth and thirteenth anniversary of issuance at the issuance price plus accrued original issue discount to the date of repurchase. The Company may pay this repurchase price with either cash or ordinary shares or a combination of cash and ordinary shares. The debentures are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at the option of the holder at any time at a ratio of 8.1566 shares per debenture subject to adjustments if certain events take place. Secured Loan Agreement - In January 2000, the Company agreed to cancel the remaining 14 months of a contract with BP Amoco for its semisubmersible rig, the Transocean Amirante, for a cash settlement of $25.1 million, which was recognized as revenue during the first quarter of 2000. The cash received was used to repay borrowings under the Secured Loan Agreement relating to the Transocean Amirante and the security interest in the rig was released by the banks. An interest rate swap agreement related to the Secured Loan Agreement was also amended to reflect the reduced amounts subject to the swap (see Note 11). 7

These allocations were determined on bases that Schlumberger and Sedco Forex considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by Sedco Forex. The allocation methods included relative revenues, headcount, square footage, transaction processing costs, adjusted operating expenses and others. These allocations resulted in charges of $18.0 million and $34.6 million to operating and maintenance expense and $1.5 million and $3.1 million to general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively. The Company incurred expenses amounting to approximately $3 million and $6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, for transitional services provided by Schlumberger. During 1999, Sedco Forex had long-term debt due to Schlumberger. These loans bore interest at rates based on fifty basis points over LIBOR and were used to finance both Sedco Forex's existing fleet of rigs and ongoing major construction projects. Interest expense on related party indebtedness aggregated $8.8 million and $15.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively. On December 31, 1999, the Company repaid these loans in connection with the merger. NOTE 8 - 1999 CHARGES Operating and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 includes charges totaling $42.0 million, of which $13.2 million relates to termination and severance benefits and $28.8 million relates to potential legal claims. NOTE 9 - SALE OF COILED TUBING DRILLING SERVICES BUSINESS In February 2000, the Company sold its coiled tubing drilling services business to Schlumberger. The net proceeds from the sale were $24.9 million and no gain or loss was recognized on the sale. The Company's interest in its Transocean-Nabors Drilling Technology LLC and DeepVision L.L.C. joint ventures were excluded from the sale. 8

TRANSOCEAN SEDCO FOREX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 10 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ----------------------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 -------- -------- --------- -------- (In thousands, except per share data) Net income for basic and diluted earnings per share $ 35,943 $ 27,358 $ 68,420 $ 38,694 - --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Weighted-average shares outstanding (Pro forma prior to effective date of the merger): Shares for basic earnings per share 210,387 109,564 210,271 109,564 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock options and unvested stock grants 1,313 72 1,097 72 - --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions for diluted earnings per share 211,700 109,636 211,368 109,636 ========================================================= ======== ======== ======== ======== Earnings per share (Pro forma prior to effective date of merger): Basic $ 0.17 $ 0.25 $ 0.33 $ 0.35 ========================================================= ======== ======== ======== ======== Diluted $ 0.17 $ 0.25 $ 0.32 $ 0.35 ========================================================= ======== ======== ======== ======== Ordinary shares subject to issuance pursuant to the conversion feature of the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures (see Note 5) are not included in the calculation of adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions for diluted earnings per share because the effect of including those shares is anti- dilutive. Sedco Forex did not have a separate capital structure prior to the spin-off from Schlumberger and merger with Transocean Offshore Inc. (see Note 1). Accordingly, historical earnings per share has not been presented for the periods prior to the merger. Pro forma earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 was calculated using the Transocean Sedco Forex shares issued pursuant to the merger agreement and the dilutive effect of Transocean Sedco Forex stock options granted to former Sedco Forex employees at the time of the merger, as applicable. NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In July 2000, the Company sold a second-generation semisubmersible, the Transocean Discoverer. Net proceeds from the sale of the rig, which had been idle in the U. K. sector of the North Sea since February 2000, totaled approximately $43 million and will result in an estimated net gain of $9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2000. In August 2000, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Secured Loan Agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company also terminated the related interest rate swap agreement. The Company expects to recognize a net gain of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on these transactions in the third quarter of 2000. 9

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. OVERVIEW On December 31, 1999, the merger of Transocean Offshore Inc. and Sedco Forex Holdings Limited ("Sedco Forex") was completed. Sedco Forex was the offshore contract drilling service business of Schlumberger Limited ("Schlumberger") and was spun-off immediately prior to the merger transaction. As a result of the merger, Sedco Forex became a wholly owned subsidiary of Transocean Offshore Inc., which changed its name to Transocean Sedco Forex Inc. The merger was accounted for as a purchase, with Sedco Forex as the acquiror for accounting purposes. Transocean Sedco Forex Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context requires otherwise, the "Company", "we" or "our") is a leading international provider of deepwater and harsh environment contract drilling services for oil and gas wells. As of July 31, 2000, the Company owns, has partial ownership interests in, operates, or has under construction 72 mobile offshore drilling units. The Company's active fleet consists of twelve high-specification semisubmersibles, thirty second- and third-generation semisubmersibles, one Discoverer Enterprise-class drillship, four other drillships, sixteen jackup rigs and three tenders. The Company has under construction two Discoverer Enterprise-class drillships, three Sedco Express- class semisubmersibles and one independent-leg cantilevered jackup. In addition, the fleet includes six swamp barges and two land drilling rigs. The Company contracts these drilling rigs, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to drill offshore wells. The balance sheets presented in the condensed financial statements, the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 represent the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the merged company. The statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 reflect the operating results and cash flows of Sedco Forex and not those of historical Transocean Offshore Inc. At the time of the merger, Sedco Forex owned, had ownership interests in or operated 40 mobile offshore drilling rigs and had four such rigs under construction. OPERATING RESULTS Quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to Quarter ended June 30, 1999 Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $35.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, on revenues of $299.2 million and reflect the results of the combined company. Net income for the corresponding period in 1999 was $27.4 million, or $0.25 per pro forma diluted share, on revenues of $162.4 million. The results for the three months ended June 30, 1999 reflect Sedco Forex historical results only and not those of Transocean Offshore Inc. Operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $299.2 million compared to $162.4 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $136.8 million or 84 percent. The increase was primarily as a result of the merger. Revenues relating to former Sedco Forex operations totaled $144.5 million for the second quarter of 2000, representing a $17.9 million or an 11 percent decrease over the comparable 1999 period. The decrease in revenues related to former Sedco Forex rigs resulted from lower dayrates for these rigs, which declined from an average of $67,200 for the second quarter of 1999 to an average of $56,400 for the same period in 2000. However, utilization for the former Sedco Forex rigs increased from 65 percent for the second quarter of 1999 to 78 percent for the second quarter of 2000. 10

Operating and maintenance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $184.2 million compared to $92.8 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $91.4 million or 98 percent. The increase was primarily as a result of the merger. Operating and maintenance expense for the second quarter of 1999 included $18.0 million in allocated costs from Schlumberger. A large portion of operating and maintenance expense consists of employee-related costs and is fixed or only semi-variable. Accordingly, operating and maintenance expense does not vary in direct proportion to activity. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $31.7 million or 95 percent, from $33.2 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $64.9 million in the same period of 2000. Depreciation expense increased primarily due to the addition of the former Transocean Offshore Inc. rigs and equipment at fair value. In addition, $6.7 million of amortization of goodwill resulting from the merger was recorded in the second quarter of 2000. Depreciation expense was reduced by approximately $18 million (net $0.08 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2000 as a result of the Company conforming its policies relating to estimated rig lives and salvage values. General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $9.5 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $5.4 million or 132 percent. The increase is primarily attributable to the merger and reflects the costs to manage a larger, more complex and geographically diverse organization. General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 included an allocation of corporate overhead by Schlumberger that amounted to approximately $1.5 million. Other income was $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to other expense of $0.4 million for the corresponding period of 1999. The Company capitalized $22.8 million of interest relating to construction projects during the second quarter of 2000 compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 1999. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 included a gain of $1.7 million, or a net $.01 per diluted share, on the sale of a tender rig held for sale and a $0.5 million net foreign currency exchange gain compared to a $0.3 million net foreign currency exchange loss for the same period in 1999. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $11.1 million compared to $4.7 million for the second quarter of 1999. The Company operates internationally and provides for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in the countries in which it operates and income is earned. There is no expected relationship between the provision for income taxes and income before income taxes. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $68.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, on revenues of $600.1 million and reflect the results of the combined company. The results also include a cash settlement of $25.1 million, or a net $0.08 per diluted share, relating to an agreement with BP Amoco to cancel the remaining 14 months of firm contract time on the semisubmersible Transocean Amirante. Net income for the corresponding period in 1999 was $38.7 million, or $0.35 per pro forma diluted share, on revenues of $351.6 million. Operating and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 included charges for severance costs and provisions for potential legal claims totaling $42.0 million, or a net $0.30 per pro forma diluted share. The results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 reflect Sedco Forex historical results only and not those of Transocean Offshore Inc. Operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $600.1 million compared to $351.6 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $248.5 million or 71 percent. The increase was primarily as a result of the merger. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 include the $25.1 million settlement relating to the Transocean Amirante contract cancellation. Revenues relating to former Sedco Forex operations totaled $267.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing a $84.1 million or 24 percent decrease over the comparable 1999 period. The decrease in revenues related to former Sedco Forex rigs resulted from lower utilization and dayrates for these rigs, which declined from an average of 70 percent and $69,400, respectively, for the first six months of 1999 to an average of 69 percent and $58,200, respectively, for the same period in 2000. 11

Operating and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $370.1 million compared to $239.5 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $130.6 million or 55 percent. The increase was primarily as a result of the merger. Operating and maintenance expense for the 1999 period included charges totaling $42.0 million relating to severance liabilities and provisions for potential legal claims and $34.6 million in allocations of costs by Schlumberger. A large portion of operating and maintenance expense consists of employee-related costs and is fixed or only semi-variable. Accordingly, operating and maintenance expense does not vary in direct proportion to activity. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $65.7 million or 103 percent, from $63.7 million in the first six months of 1999 to $129.4 million in the same period of 2000. Depreciation expense increased primarily due to the addition of the former Transocean Offshore Inc. rigs and equipment at fair value. In addition, $13.4 million of amortization of goodwill resulting from the merger was recorded in the first six months of 2000. Depreciation expense was reduced by approximately $35 million (net $0.17 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2000 as a result of the Company conforming its policies relating to estimated rig lives and salvage values. General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $22.4 million compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $14.2 million or 173 percent. The increase is primarily attributable to the merger and reflects the costs to manage a larger, more complex and geographically diverse organization. General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 included an allocation of corporate overhead by Schlumberger that amounted to approximately $3.1 million. Other income was $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to other expense of $0.6 million for the same period in 1999. The Company capitalized $45.9 million of interest relating to construction projects during the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $11.7 million for the same period in 1999. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 included a gain of $1.7 million, or a net $0.1 per diluted share, on the sale of a tender rig held for sale and a $1.1 million net foreign currency exchange gain compared to a $0.3 million net foreign currency exchange loss for the same period in 1999. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $20.8 million compared to $0.9 million for the second quarter of 1999. Sedco Forex recognized a $9.5 million deferred tax benefit during the 1999 period relating to charges for potential legal claims. The Company operates internationally and provides for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in the countries in which it operates and income is earned. There is no expected relationship between the provision for income taxes and income before income taxes. 1999 PRO FORMA OPERATING RESULTS Unaudited pro forma combined results for Transocean Sedco Forex Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 1999 reflected net income of $172.0 million or $0.82 per diluted share on pro forma revenues of $893.5 million. The pro forma operating results assume the spin-off and merger was completed on January 1, 1999. See Note 3 to the condensed financial statements. These pro forma results do not reflect the effects of reduced depreciation expense related to conforming the estimated lives of Sedco Forex rigs and the elimination of certain allocated costs from Schlumberger, which will not be incurred in the future. The pro forma financial data should not be relied on as an indication of operating results that Transocean Sedco Forex Inc. would have achieved had the spin-off and merger taken place earlier or of the future results that Transocean Sedco Forex Inc. may achieve. 12

MARKET OUTLOOK Fleet utilization for the second quarter of 2000 averaged 75 percent for our 61 fully owned or chartered and active mobile offshore drilling units (i.e., excluding newbuilds under construction, managed rigs and partially owned rigs which are not operated by us). Fleet utilization and revenues for the second quarter of 2000 were negatively impacted by the Discoverer Enterprise's operation at zero dayrate during a significant portion of the quarter due to blow-out prevention equipment failures, repairs and evaluation. The rig resumed operations under an existing contract in early July 2000. Fleet utilization for the same units was 63 percent for the first quarter of this year. Combined semisubmersible and drillship ("floater") utilization for active units was also 75 percent during the second quarter of 2000, compared to utilization of 62 percent for the same units during the first quarter of 2000. Average fleet dayrates continued to decline during the second quarter as previously idle rigs returned to operating status at competitive spot market rates. Also, as working rigs completed previously negotiated contracts, subsequent contracts commenced at lower market rates. Average dayrates during the second quarter of 2000 were $69,100 for these 61 rigs and $85,900 for floaters, compared to average dayrates of $75,400 and $95,500, respectively, for the first quarter of 2000. The increased fleet activity in the second quarter of 2000 resulted from improved market conditions. Commodity prices remained at relatively strong levels as world crude oil consumption grew. Upstream spending levels of the large, global exploration and production companies are now beginning to reflect the improvement in these commodity prices. If market conditions remain favorable, we believe the offshore areas of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and West Africa should continue to offer drilling opportunities which are particularly well suited for our high specification fleet. Even with higher utilization, dayrates may not increase significantly in the near term. Also, the contract drilling market historically has been highly competitive and cyclical, and we are unable to predict the extent to which current market conditions will continue. A decline in oil prices could reduce demand for the Company's contract drilling services and adversely affect both utilization and dayrates. As of July 31, 2000, 52 of the 60 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Acquisitions and Dispositions") active and fully owned or chartered mobile offshore drilling units were either operating or had signed contracts for future operations, including 37 of 41 floaters. On July 31, 2000, we had approximately 72% of our fleet days committed to firm contracts for the remainder of 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES SOURCES AND USES OF CASH Cash flows provided by operations were $84.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $150.5 million for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $66.5 million. The decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily due to changes in net working capital components. Cash flows used in investing activities increased $27.8 million from $249.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $277.7 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from an increase in capital expenditures relating to rig construction and upgrade projects, partially offset by $24.9 million in proceeds from the sale of the coiled tubing drilling services business in the first six months of 2000. Cash flows provided by financing activities increased $187.5 million from $9.8 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $197.3 million for the same period in 2000. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company received $489.2 million in net proceeds from the issuance of the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures partially offset by the repayment of its Revolving Credit Agreement and by repayments on its Secured Loan Agreement. During the second quarter of 1999, Sedco Forex obtained additional long-term funding from related parties, which was offset by repayments of advances and long-term debt to related parties. 13

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $308 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Company's investments in its existing fleet and previously announced fleet additions, including the Sedco Express-class semisubmersibles, the Trident 20 and the Discoverer Enterprise- class drillships, continue to require significant capital expenditures and are expected to be approximately $382 million for the remainder of 2000. The following table summarizes projected expenditures (including capitalized interest) during the remainder of 2000 for the Company's major construction projects. Expenditures - Projected Projected Six Months Ended Expenditures - Recorded Value June 30, 2000 Remainder of 2000 At Completion - ----------------------- ----------------- ----------------- -------------- (In millions) Sedco Express $ 55 $ 57 $ 360 Sedco Energy 57 58 360 Cajun Express 51 41 300 Discoverer Spirit 51 30 320 Discoverer Deep Seas 66 54 315 Trident 20 (1) (5) 35 130 - ----------------------- ---- ---- ------ $275 $275 $1,785 ==== ==== ====== (1) Expenditures for the first six months of 2000 are net of $30 million in client reimbursements for the estimated incremental cost to construct the rig in the Caspian Sea. The Company has under construction three Sedco Express-class semisubmersibles. The Sedco Express is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2000, when it will begin a three-year contract with Elf in West Africa. The Sedco Energy is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2000, when it will begin a five-year contract with Texaco in West Africa. The Cajun Express is also expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2000, when it will begin a three-year contract with Marathon in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. The Company has two Discoverer Enterprise-class drillships under construction. The Discoverer Spirit is expected to be delivered late in the third quarter of 2000, when it will begin a five-year contract with Unocal in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Discoverer Deep Seas is expected to be delivered late in the fourth quarter of 2000, when it will begin a five-year contract with Chevron in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. The Company also has an independent-leg cantilevered jackup, the Trident 20, under construction in Azerbaijan. This rig will be 75 percent owned by the Company through a joint venture. The rig is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2000, when it will begin a three-year contract for Elf and other parties to a rig sharing agreement in the Caspian Sea. As with any major construction project that takes place over an extended period of time, the actual costs, the timing of expenditures and delivery dates may vary from estimates based on numerous factors, including actual terms of awarded construction contracts, weather, exchange rates, shipyard labor conditions, the market demand for components and resources required for drilling unit construction, testing and commissioning of the rig and rig systems, acceptance by the client and mobilization from the shipyard to the location of initial operations. The drilling contracts for the Sedco Express-class semisubmersibles and the Trident 20 have late delivery clauses that may allow customers to terminate or shorten the term of the contract if delivery of the unit is sufficiently delayed. The Company intends to fund the cash requirements relating to these capital commitments through available cash balances, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement referred to below and other commercial bank or capital market financings. 14

DEBT Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures - In May 2000, the Company issued Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due May 2020 with a face value at maturity of $865.0 million. The Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures were issued at a price to the public of $579.12 per debenture and accrue original issue discount at a rate of 2.75% per annum compounded semi-annually to reach a face value at maturity of $1,000 per debenture. The Company will pay no interest on the debentures prior to maturity and has the right to redeem the debentures after three years for a price equal to the issuance price plus accrued original issue discount to the date of redemption. A debenture holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the debentures on the third, eighth and thirteenth anniversary of issuance at the issuance price plus accrued original issue discount to the date of repurchase. The Company may pay this repurchase price with either cash or ordinary shares or a combination of cash and ordinary shares. The debentures are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at the option of the holder at any time at a ratio of 8.1566 shares per debenture subject to adjustments if certain events take place. The Company used the net proceeds ($489.2 million after underwriter discount and issue costs) from the financing to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement, to repay other indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. Secured Loan Agreement - In January 2000, the Company agreed to cancel the remaining 14 months of a contract with BP Amoco for its semisubmersible rig, the Transocean Amirante, for a cash settlement of $25.1 million. The cash received was used to repay borrowings under the Secured Loan Agreement relating to the Transocean Amirante and the security interest in the rig was released by the banks. An interest rate swap agreement related to the Secured Loan Agreement was also amended to reflect the reduced amounts subject to the swap. At June 30, 2000, $191.0 million was outstanding and was being repaid in monthly installments through December 2004. In August 2000, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Secured Loan Agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company also terminated the related interest rate swap agreement. The Company expects to recognize a net gain of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on these transactions in the third quarter of 2000. Revolving Credit Agreement - The Company is a party to a $540 million revolving credit agreement, as amended, with a group of banks led by ABN AMRO Bank, NV, as agent, dated as of July 30, 1996 (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). As of June 30, 2000, the entire amount was available for borrowing. Letters of Credit - The Company had letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2000 totaling $92.9 million, including a letter of credit relating to the legal dispute with Kvaerner Installasjon valued at $25.8 million and a letter of credit relating to the legal dispute with the India Customs Department, Mumbai valued at $11.2 million. The remaining amount guarantees various insurance, rig construction and contract bidding activities. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS In February 2000, the Company sold its coiled tubing drilling services business to Schlumberger. The net proceeds from the sale were $24.9 million and no gain or loss was recognized on the sale. The Company's interests in its Transocean-Nabors Drilling Technology LLC and DeepVision L.L.C. joint ventures were excluded from the sale. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay debt and for general corporate purposes. In July 2000, the Company sold a second-generation semisubmersible, the Transocean Discoverer. Net proceeds from the sale of the rig, which had been idle in the U. K. sector of the North Sea since February 2000, totaled approximately $43 million and will result in an estimated net gain of $9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2000. The proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes. The Company, from time to time, reviews possible acquisitions of businesses and drilling units, and may in the future make significant capital commitments for such purposes. Any such acquisition could involve the payment by the Company of a substantial amount of cash and the issuance of a substantial number of ordinary shares or other securities. The Company would expect to fund the cash portion of any such acquisition through cash balances on hand, the incurrence of additional debt, sales of assets, ordinary shares or other securities or a combination thereof. 15

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company, from time to time, may enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments in connection with the management of its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes; however, for accounting purposes certain transactions may not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. Gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative instruments, which qualify as accounting hedges, are deferred and recognized when the underlying foreign exchange exposure is realized. Gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative instruments, which do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes, are recognized currently based on the change in market value of the derivative instruments. At June 30, 2000, the Company did not have any foreign exchange derivative instruments. The Company, from time to time, may use interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. Interest rate swaps are designated as a hedge of underlying future interest payments. The interest rate differential to be received or paid on the swaps is recognized over the lives of the swaps as an adjustment to interest expense. At June 30, 2000, the net market value of open interest rate swaps was a $0.1 million loss. See "Debt - Secured Loan Agreement." SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, borrowings available under its Revolving Credit Agreement and access to other financing sources will be adequate to meet its anticipated short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including scheduled debt repayments and capital expenditures for new rig construction and upgrade projects. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB 133, to delay the required effective date for adoption of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Because of the Company's limited use of derivatives to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new statement will have a significant effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION The statements included in this quarterly report regarding future financial performance and results of operations and other statements 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.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK INTEREST RATE RISK The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates has changed since December 31, 1999 due to the issuance of the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures, repayment of the Secured Loan Agreement, termination of the Company's interest rate swaps and related changes in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement. See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt." The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates now relates primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations. The table below presents expected cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates expected by maturity dates relating to debt obligations as of June 30, 2000 adjusted for the August 2000 repayment of the Secured Loan Agreement. Weighted-average variable rates are based on estimated LIBOR rates as of June 30, 2000, plus applicable margins. The fair value of fixed rate debt is based on the estimated yield to maturity for each debt issue as of June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 2000: REST OF EXPECTED MATURITY DATE FAIR VALUE 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 THEREAFTER TOTAL 06/30/00 ------ ----- ------ ------ ------ ---------- -------- ---------- (In millions, except interest rate percentages) LONG-TERM DEBT Fixed Rate (a) $ 10.9 $22.6 $ 24.0 $ 18.9 $ 19.0 $1,165.0 $1,260.4 $896.5 Average interest rate 4.9% 4.9% 4.8% 4.7% 4.6% 5.4% 4.9% Variable Rate $191.0 $ - $100.0 $150.0 $150.0 - $ 591.0 $591.0 Average interest rate 7.1% 7.1% 7.1% 7.1% 7.1% - 7.1% - -------------- (a) Reflects payment of face value of debt at maturity. Balances at June 30, 2000 include discounts, issue costs on the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures and merger related fair market value adjustments. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK The Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk has not materially changed since December 31, 1999. See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - - Derivative Instruments." 17

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On July 25, 2000, the Company received notice of a request for arbitration from DCN International ("DCN"). DCN is the shipyard located in Brest, France, with which the Company contracted the construction of two of the Company's Sedco Express-class semisubmersibles. DCN has requested arbitration of disputes stemming from certain variation orders requested by DCN and rejected by the Company during construction of the units. DCN is seeking approximately $35 million for these disputed variation orders. The two Sedco Express-class rigs have been delivered by DCN, and these variation orders are part of a larger dispute with DCN regarding the appropriate payment to DCN for construction of the units. The Company is in the process of preparing its response to the request for arbitration and does not expect that the outcome of the disputes with DCN will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial position. The Company has certain other actions or claims pending involving the Indian Customs Department, Mumbai; Kvaerner Installasjon a.s; the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Global Marine Drilling Company; RIGCO North America LLC; and the operator of a pipeline damaged in the Gulf of Mexico and certain other related joint owners and producers.
