Options to purchase 495,000 shares and 688,000 shares of common stock in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the common stock for the respective periods. Options to purchase 503,000 shares and 688,000 shares of common stock in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the common stock for the respective periods. Note 3 - Share-Based Employee Compensation During the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, we granted 503,250 share options to our employees, officers and directors as annual equity awards made pursuant to our 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and for equity awards granted to new or recently promoted employees. Share options granted to officers and employees generally become exercisable in 25% increments over a four-year period and, to the extent not exercised, expire on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. Share options granted to non-employee directors are immediately exercisable and to the extent not exercised, expire on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. The following table summarizes the value of share options granted during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007: |

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, we granted 424,115 non-vested share awards to our employees, officers and directors for annual equity awards made pursuant to our 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and for equity awards granted to new or recently promoted employees. Annual grants of non-vested share awards generally vest at a rate of 20% per year and grants of non-vested share awards to new or recently promoted employees generally vest at a rate of 10% or 20% per year, and have voting and dividend rights effective on the date of grant. Additionally during the second quarter of 2007, we granted 92,000 non-vested share awards in connection with a retirement agreement entered into in February of 2007 with our former CEO and non-executive Chairman of our Board of Directors, the cost of which was recognized through his May 22, 2007 retirement date. These awards will vest at a rate of one-third per year upon each of the first three anniversaries of the former CEO and Chairman's retirement date. Non-vested share awards are measured using the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of non-vested share awards granted during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 was $60.41 per share. |

There is no debt or interest expense allocated to our discontinued operations. Note 8 - ContingenciesFollowing recent disclosures by other offshore oil service companies announcing internal investigations focusing on the legality of amounts paid to and by customs brokers in connection with temporary importation of rigs and vessels into Nigeria, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and management have commenced an internal investigation of our payments to customs brokers relating to the temporary importation of ENSCO 100, our only rig operating offshore Nigeria. The purpose of our investigation is to determine whether any of the payments made to or by our customs brokers were inappropriate under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). Our Audit Committee has engaged Miller & Chevalier, a Washington, D.C. law firm with significant experience in investigating and advising upon FCPA matters, to assist the Audit Committee and management in the internal investigation. As is customary for companies operating offshore Nigeria, we engaged independent customs brokers to process ENSCO 100 temporary importation permits and renewals thereof (including periodic exportation and re-entries). One of the customs brokers that our subsidiary in Nigeria used to obtain these permits and renewals also provided services to other offshore oil service companies that have commenced similar investigations. Following consultation with outside legal counsel, notification to the Audit Committee, and notification to KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, we voluntarily notified the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Department of Justice that an internal investigation is underway and that we intend to cooperate fully with both agencies. The internal investigation has only recently commenced, and we are unable to predict whether either agency will initiate a separate investigation of this matter or, if an agency investigation is initiated, what potential corrective measures, sanctions or other remedies, if any, the agencies may seek against us or any of our employees. This matter is not expected to have any material effect on or disrupt our current operations in Nigeria because ENSCO 100 is scheduled to complete its contract commitment and depart Nigeria before its temporary importation clearance expires on September 3, 2007. At this time, we cannot predict the effect of this matter upon any potential future operations in Nigeria. Inasmuch as our internal investigation commenced only recently, we are unable to predict the outcome of the investigation or to determine whether or the extent to which we may be exposed to any resulting potential liability or significant additional expense. |

Our liability insurance underwriters have issued a reservation of rights letter raising issues regarding the applicability of coverage for the potential ENSCO 29 wreckage and debris removal costs. We contest any assertion that the ENSCO 29 wreckage and debris removal is not subject to coverage under the liability insurance policies and intend to pursue all available remedies in the event our liability insurance underwriters deny coverage. While we believe it is likely that any ENSCO 29 wreckage and debris removal costs incurred will be fully covered by insurance, a $1.2 million provision, representing the portion of the $5.0 million low range of the estimated removal cost we believe is subject to liability insurance coverage, was recognized during the third quarter of 2006. In August 2004, we and certain current and former subsidiaries were named as defendants, along with numerous other third party companies as co-defendants, in three multi-party lawsuits filed in the Circuit Courts of Jones County (Second Judicial District) and Jasper County (First Judicial District), Mississippi. The lawsuits sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of individuals alleging personal injury or death, primarily under the Jones Act, purportedly resulting from exposure to asbestos on drilling rigs and associated facilities during the period 1965 through 1986. In compliance with the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, as decided by the Mississippi Supreme Court in Harold's Auto Parts, Inc. v. Flower Mangialardi, 889 So. 2d 493 (Miss. 2004), the individual claimants in the original multi-party lawsuits whose claims were not dismissed were ordered to file either new or amended single plaintiff complaints, naming the specific defendant(s) against whom they intended to pursue claims. As a result, out of more than 600 initial pending claims, we have been named as a defendant by 62 individual plaintiffs. Of these claims, there are 60 claims or lawsuits pending in Mississippi state courts and two pending in the United States District Court as a result of their removal from state court. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims and have filed responsive pleadings preserving all defenses and challenges to jurisdiction and venue. However, inasmuch as discovery is in the very early stages and available information regarding the nature of these claims is limited, we cannot reasonably determine if the claimants have valid claims under the Jones Act or estimate a range of potential liability exposure, if any. At present, none of the pending Mississippi asbestos lawsuits have been set for trial. Although we do not expect the final disposition of these lawsuits to have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits. Legislation known as the U.K. Working Time Directive was introduced in August 2003 and may be applicable to our employees and employees of other drilling contractors that work offshore in U.K. territorial waters or in the U.K. sector of the North Sea. Certain trade unions representing offshore employees have claimed that drilling contractors are not in compliance with the U.K. Working Time Directive in respect of paid time off (vacation time) for employees working offshore on a rotational basis (generally equal time working and off) and the related issues are subject to pending or potential judicial, administrative and legislative review. Based on information currently available, we do not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows. In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are named defendants in certain other lawsuits incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings, including matters related to taxation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not expect these matters will have a material effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows. |

By the end of the second quarter of 2007, demand for jackup rigs in the Gulf of Mexico appeared to have stabilized, although average day rates softened during the second quarter as a result of competition for work among drilling contractors particularly related to smaller premium jackup rigs. Rates for jackup rigs remain at higher levels in most international markets due to the current shortage of available rigs. We anticipate additional jackup rigs may depart the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for longer term international contract opportunities which, in turn, will help bring Gulf of Mexico rig supply more into balance with demand.

Second quarter 2007 revenues for the Asia Pacific jackup rigs increased by $84.1 million, or 60%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 53% increase in average day rates and the increased size of the Asia Pacific fleet. The increase in average day rates resulted from stronger demand due to higher levels of spending by oil and gas companies coupled with limited rig availability in the region. Contract drilling expense increased by $7.6 million, or 14%, as compared to the prior year quarter due to the increased size of the fleet as well as higher personnel costs and repair and maintenance expense. The increase in contract drilling expense was partially offset by a $3.0 million estimated loss recognized in the prior year quarter related to damage sustained by ENSCO 107 while pre-loading on a drilling location offshore Vietnam. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues for the Asia Pacific jackup rigs increased by $166.6 million, or 65%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 51% increase in average day rates and the increased size of the Asia Pacific fleet. The increase in average day rates resulted from stronger demand and limited rig availability as noted above. Contract drilling expense increased by $24.7 million, or 25%, as compared to the prior year period due partially to the increase in the size of the fleet as well as increased personnel costs, mobilization expense, and repair and maintenance expense. The increased costs were partially offset by the aforementioned $3.0 million loss provision related to ENSCO 107 in 2006. Europe/Africa Jackup Rigs Second quarter 2007 revenues for the Europe/Africa jackup rigs increased by $51.4 million, or 42%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 35% increase in average day rates and, to a lesser extent, the addition of ENSCO 105 to the Europe/Africa jackup fleet in April of 2007, which provided $9.9 million of revenue in the current quarter. The improvement in average day rates was attributable to improved demand resulting from increased spending by oil and gas companies. Contract drilling expense increased by $17.0 million, or 48%, from the prior year quarter due primarily to the addition of ENSCO 105, which added $5.7 million of expense in the current quarter, and to increased personnel costs, reimbursable expenses, and repair and maintenance expense, all of which were partially offset by a reduction in mobilization expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues for the Europe/Africa jackup rigs increased by $95.5 million, or 42%, from the prior year period. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a 36% increase in the average day rates, and to a lesser extent, the addition of ENSCO 105 to the Europe/Africa jackup fleet in April 2007. The improvement in average day rates was attributable to improved demand resulting from increased spending by oil and gas companies. Contract drilling expense increased by $25.6 million, or 34%, from the prior year period due to the addition of ENSCO 105 and to increased personnel costs, reimbursable expenses, and repair and maintenance expense, all of which were partially offset by a reduction in mobilization expense. |

Second quarter 2007 revenues for the North and South America jackup rigs decreased by $62.5 million, or 33%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in revenues was partially due to the reduced size of the North and South America jackup fleet as two rigs were relocated from the Gulf of Mexico during the first quarter of 2007 and the third quarter of 2006. The two jackup rigs provided $23.5 million of revenue during the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in revenues also was due to a decrease in utilization to 82% in 2007 from 95% in 2006 and a 12% decrease in average day rates. The decrease in utilization and average day rates was primarily attributable to a decrease in demand by oil and gas companies as they have reduced shallow water spending in this region. The decrease in utilization also resulted from an increase in the amount of time rigs spent in shipyards during the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2007 contract drilling expense decreased by $1.6 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in contract drilling expense resulted from the reduction in fleet size and was partially offset by increased expenses relating to personnel, insurance, and repair and maintenance. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues for the North and South America jackup rigs decreased by $65.3 million, or 19%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the reduced size of the fleet as noted above, which caused a reduction of $38.7 million of revenue, in addition to a decrease in utilization to 84% in 2007 from 88% in 2006 and a 6% decrease in average day rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, contract drilling expense increased by $6.8 million, or 8%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in contract drilling expense was primarily attributable to increased personnel, insurance, and repair and maintenance expenses, partially offset by a decrease attributable to the reduced size of the fleet. North America Semisubmersible Rig Second quarter 2007 revenues for ENSCO 7500 increased by $1.0 million, or 6%, and contract drilling expense decreased by $300,000 or 4%, as compared to the prior year second quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a 7% increase in the average day rate. The decrease in contract drilling expense is primarily due to a reduction of repair and maintenance expense partially offset by increased personnel costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues for ENSCO 7500 increased $9.6 million, or 37%, primarily due to a 5% increase in the average day rate and an increase in utilization to 97% in 2007 from 79% in 2006 as ENSCO 7500 was idle for approximately one month in the prior year while undergoing minor enhancement and preparatory work for its current contract. There was no change in contract drilling expense as increased personnel and insurance costs were offset by a reduction of repair and maintenance expense. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 increased by $2.7 million, or 6%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to depreciation associated with ENSCO 108, which was placed into service in April 2007, and capital enhancement and upgrade projects completed subsequent to the second quarter of 2006. |

General and Administrative General and administrative expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 increased by $8.6 million, or 82%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to a $6.8 million expense we incurred during the quarter in connection with a retirement agreement entered into in February of 2007 with our former CEO and non-executive Chairman of our Board of Directors. The increase is also attributable to a general increase in salary and share-based employee compensation expense as compared to the prior year quarter. General and administrative expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 increased by $14.2 million, or 68%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to a $10.7 million expense we incurred during the period in connection with the retirement agreement noted above and to a general increase in salary and share-based employee compensation expense as compared to the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by a one-time discretionary $1.1 million cash contribution made during the first quarter of 2006 to the ENSCO 2005 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan account of our new Chief Executive Officer for pension and other benefits forfeited under his previous employment.

Interest income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 increased as compared to the corresponding prior year periods due to higher average interest rates and an increase in cash balances invested. Interest expense decreased during the same periods due primarily to a decrease in outstanding debt. Capitalized interest for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 increased as compared to the corresponding prior year periods due to an increase in the amount invested in new rig construction projects. |
Table of Contents |
Provision for Income Taxes The income tax provision for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 decreased by $9.5 million as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was attributable to a reduction in the effective tax rate due primarily to an increase in the relative portion of our earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are being permanently reinvested and taxed at lower rates. Additionally, the current quarter and prior year quarter effective tax rates were impacted by a $2.3 million net benefit and $4.6 million net expense, respectively, attributable to the resolution of certain tax issues relating to prior periods. The provision for income taxes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 increased by $4.5 million as compared to the prior year period. The increase was attributable to increased profitability, partially offset by a reduction in the effective tax rate due to an increase in our earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries as noted above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Although our business is very cyclical, we historically have relied on our cash flow from continuing operations to meet liquidity needs and fund the majority of our cash requirements. Our management believes we have maintained a strong financial position through the disciplined and conservative use of debt. A substantial amount of our cash flow is invested in the expansion and enhancement of our fleet of drilling rigs. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, our primary sources of cash included $532.4 million generated from continuing operations and $25.3 million from the exercise of share options. Our primary use of cash for the same period included $290.3 million for the construction, enhancement and other improvement of drilling rigs and $272.4 million for the repurchase of common stock. |

Detailed explanations of our liquidity and capital resources for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, are set forth below. Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures Our cash flow from continuing operations and capital expenditures on continuing operations are as follows (in millions): |

On June 7, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Keppel FELS Limited ("KFELS") in Singapore to construct ENSCO 8503 for a total project construction cost of approximately $427.0 million, with delivery expected in the third quarter of 2010. ENSCO 8503 is our fourth ultra-deepwater semisubmersible rig in the ENSCO 8500 SeriesTM. The first three ENSCO 8500 SeriesTM rigs (ENSCO 8500, ENSCO 8501 and ENSCO 8502) are under construction by KFELS with expected deliveries in the second quarter of 2008, first quarter of 2009 and fourth quarter of 2009 respectively. The ENSCO 8500 and ENSCO 8501 are subject to long term drilling contracts of four years and three and one-half years, respectively. |
Table of Contents |
We currently expect that capital expenditures in 2007 will include approximately $80.0 million for minor rig upgrades and improvements, $80.0 million for rig enhancement projects and approximately $390.0 million for new rig construction, which includes progress payments on the four ultra-deepwater semisubmersible rigs under construction and the final payment on ENSCO 108. Depending on market conditions and opportunities, we may also make capital expenditures to construct or acquire additional rigs. Contractual Obligations On June 7, 2007, we entered into an agreement to construct ENSCO 8503 for a total contractual commitment of approximately $403.4 million. Of this amount, we project that $86.0 million is due in 2007, an aggregate $198.9 million is due in the years 2008 and 2009, and $118.5 million is due in the year 2010. We expect to fund this commitment from our existing cash and cash equivalents and future operating cash flow. The contractual obligations disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, did not include unrecognized tax benefits. We adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," on January 1, 2007 and had $19.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits upon adoption. Substantially all of our unrecognized tax benefits relate to uncertain tax positions that are not currently under review by taxing authorities and we are therefore unable to specify the future periods in which we may be obligated to settle such amounts. Financing and Capital Resources Our long-term debt, total capital and long-term debt to total capital ratios are summarized below (in millions, except percentages): |

On March 14, 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, we repurchased approximately 5.0 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $272.4 million (an average cost of $54.53 per share). Since the program's inception in March of 2006, we have repurchased approximately 8.5 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $432.4 million (an average cost of $51.13 per share). Liquidity The Company’s liquidity position is summarized in the table below (in millions, except ratios): |
June 30, | December 31, | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2007 | 2006 | ||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $547.0 | $565.8 | |||

Current ratio | 2.6 | 2.6 |
We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs, including contractual obligations, anticipated capital expenditures and stock repurchases, as well as any working capital requirements, from our cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flow. We expect to fund our long-term liquidity needs, including contractual obligations and anticipated capital expenditures, from our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flow and, if necessary, from funds borrowed under our $350.0 million credit facility (which remains undrawn since inception), or borrowings under other future financing arrangements. We historically have funded the majority of our liquidity from operating cash flow. We anticipate a substantial amount of our cash flow in the near to intermediate-term will continue to be invested in the expansion of our deepwater drilling fleet. While future operating cash flow cannot be accurately predicted, based on our contractual backlog and current industry conditions, our management believes our long-term liquidity will continue to be funded primarily by operating cash flow. |

For additional information concerning the useful lives of our drilling rigs, including an analysis of the impact of various changes in useful life assumptions, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill We evaluate the carrying value of our property and equipment, primarily our drilling rigs, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such rigs may not be recoverable. Generally, extended periods of idle time and/or inability to contract rigs at economical rates are an indication that a rig may be impaired. However, the offshore drilling industry is highly cyclical and it is not unusual for rigs to be unutilized or underutilized for significant periods of time and subsequently resume full or near full utilization when business cycles change. Likewise, during periods of supply and demand imbalance, rigs are frequently contracted at or near cash break-even rates for extended periods of time until demand comes back into balance with supply. Impairment situations may arise with respect to specific individual rigs, groups of rigs, such as a specific type of drilling rig, or rigs in a certain geographic location. Our rigs are mobile and may generally be moved from markets with excess supply, if economically feasible. Our jackup rigs and semisubmersible rigs are suited for, and accessible to, broad and numerous markets throughout the world. However, there are fewer economically feasible markets available to our barge rig. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment exists. The goodwill impairment test requires us to identify reporting units and estimate the fair value of those units as of the testing date. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, its goodwill is considered not impaired. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we estimate the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. In the event we dispose of drilling rig operations that constitute a business, goodwill would be allocated in the determination of gain or loss on sale. Based on our goodwill impairment analysis performed as of December 31, 2006, there was no impairment of goodwill. Asset impairment evaluations are, by nature, highly subjective. In most instances they involve expectations of future cash flows to be generated by our drilling rigs, and are based on our management's assumptions and judgments regarding future industry conditions and operations, as well as our management's estimates of future expected utilization, contract rates, expense levels and capital requirements of our drilling rigs. The estimates, assumptions and judgments used by our management in the application of our asset impairment policies reflect both historical experience and an assessment of current operational, industry, economic and political environments. The use of different estimates, assumptions, judgments and expectations regarding future industry conditions and operations would likely result in materially different carrying values of assets and operating results. |

We conduct operations and earn income in numerous international countries and are subject to the laws of tax jurisdictions within those countries, as well as U.S. federal and state tax laws. At June 30, 2007, we had a $336.8 million net deferred income tax liability, a $64.8 million liability for income taxes currently payable and a $20.5 million liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The carrying values of deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the application of our income tax accounting policies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), and are based on our management's assumptions and estimates regarding future operating results and levels of taxable income, as well as our management's judgments regarding the interpretation of the provisions of SFAS 109. Carryforwards and tax credits are assessed for realization as a reduction of future taxable income by using a more-likely-than-not determination. A U.S. deferred tax liability has not been recognized for undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries because it is not practicable to estimate. Should we elect to make a distribution of these earnings, or be deemed to have made a distribution of them through application of various provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, we may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes. The carrying values of liabilities for income taxes currently payable and unrecognized tax benefits are based on management's interpretation of applicable tax laws, and incorporate management's assumptions and judgments regarding the use of tax planning strategies in various taxing jurisdictions. The use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments in connection with accounting for income taxes, especially those involving tax planning strategies, may result in materially different carrying values of income tax assets and liabilities and operating results. We operate in many international jurisdictions where tax laws relating to the offshore drilling industry are not well developed. In jurisdictions where available statutory law and regulations are incomplete or underdeveloped, we obtain professional guidance and consider existing industry practices before utilizing tax planning strategies and meeting our tax obligations. Tax returns are routinely subject to audit in most jurisdictions and tax liabilities are frequently finalized through a negotiation process. While we historically have not experienced significant adjustments to previously recognized tax assets and liabilities as a result of finalizing tax returns, there can be no assurance that significant adjustments will not arise in the future. In addition, there are several factors that could cause the future level of uncertainty relating to our tax liabilities to increase, including the following: |
• | During recent years the portion of our overall operations conducted in international tax jurisdictions has been increasing and we currently anticipate this trend will continue. | |
• | In order to utilize tax planning strategies and conduct international operations efficiently, our subsidiaries frequently enter into transactions with affiliates which generally are subject to complex tax regulations and frequently are reviewed by taxing authorities. | |
• | We may conduct future operations in certain tax jurisdictions where tax laws are not well developed and it may be difficult to secure adequate professional guidance. | |
• | Tax laws, regulations, agreements and treaties change frequently, requiring us to modify existing tax strategies to conform to such changes. |

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION |
In August 2004, we and certain current and former subsidiaries were named as defendants, along with numerous other third party companies as co-defendants, in three multi-party lawsuits filed in the Circuit Courts of Jones County (Second Judicial District) and Jasper County (First Judicial District), Mississippi. The lawsuits sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of individuals alleging personal injury or death, primarily under the Jones Act, purportedly resulting from exposure to asbestos on drilling rigs and associated facilities during the period 1965 through 1986. In compliance with the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, as decided by the Mississippi Supreme Court in Harold's Auto Parts, Inc. v. Flower Mangialardi, 889 So. 2d 493 (Miss. 2004), the individual claimants in the original multi-party lawsuits whose claims were not dismissed were ordered to file either new or amended single plaintiff complaints, naming the specific defendant(s) against whom they intended to pursue claims. As a result, out of more than 600 initial pending claims, we have been named as a defendant by 62 individual plaintiffs. Of these claims, there are 60 claims or lawsuits pending in Mississippi state courts and two pending in the United States District Court as a result of their removal from state court. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims and have filed responsive pleadings preserving all defenses and challenges to jurisdiction and venue. However, inasmuch as discovery is in the very early stages and available information regarding the nature of these claims is limited, we cannot reasonably determine if the claimants have valid claims under the Jones Act or estimate a range of potential liability exposure, if any. At present, none of the pending Mississippi asbestos lawsuits have been set for trial. Although we do not expect the final disposition of these lawsuits to have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, operating results or cash flows, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits. In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are named defendants in certain other lawsuits incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings, including matters related to taxation, all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not expect these matters to have a material effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows. |
