1. | Basis of Presentation | |||
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, and March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and 10-K/A. | ||||
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. | ||||
2. | Employee Stock-Based Awards | |||
Employee stock-based awards are accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Fixed plan common stock options generally do not result in compensation expense, because the exercise price of the options issued by the Company equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. |

General and administrative costs are allocated to the segments based primarily on specific identification, and to the extent that such identification is not practical, on other methods which the Company believes to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. | ||||

14. | Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |||
In December, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. The Statement requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. The Statement is effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005 with the SEC allowing for implementation at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company plans to adopt the new standard October 1, 2005, its fiscal 2006 first quarter ending December 31, 2005, under the modified-prospective-transition method. The Company will recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. Measurement and attribution of compensation cost for awards that were granted but not vested prior to the date the Company adopts will be based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same attribution method used previously under Statement 123 for pro forma disclosure. For those awards that are granted, modified or settled after the Company adopts the Statement, compensation cost will be measured and recognized in the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123(R). The Company expects to incur additional compensation expense of approximately $1 million in the fiscal 2006 first quarter ending December 31, 2005. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
March 31, 2005
U.S. LAND operating income increased to $35.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $5.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. Revenues were $122.4 million and $82.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in land revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are reimbursements for “out-of-pocket” expenses of $8.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The $30.1 million increase in operating income was primarily the result of increased rig days and higher dayrates.
Average land rig margin per day was $6,944 and $3,186 for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. The significant increase in margins was due to higher dayrates. Land rig utilization was 94% and 86% for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Land rig revenue days for the second quarter of 2005 were 7,589 compared with 6,758 for the same period of 2004, with an average of 84.3 and 74.3 rigs working during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Land depreciation expense increased to $15.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to $13.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. The increase is the result of having three additional rigs in the United States during the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004. The additional rigs are the result of one transferred from Venezuela and one transferred from Chad, both in the first quarter of 2005 and the third rig is the result of a flex rig constructed and placed in service in the third quarter of 2004.
The Company will begin construction of 13 new drilling rigs in the third quarter of 2005. Under terms of an agreement with an operator, the Company will operate 10 new rigs, each under a three-year term contract at a fixed dayrate plus certain conditional incentive payments based upon savings realized by the operator. The first rig is scheduled for completion by November, 2005, with the remaining nine expected to be delivered to the field at the rate of one per month thereafter. The Company currently has a letter of intent with another operator to operate three rigs on three-year term contracts. The Company expects to deliver one new rig per month starting November, 2005. The total capital cost of the construction is estimated at $125 million with approximately $50 million spent in fiscal 2005 and $75 million in fiscal 2006. The construction will be financed primarily by internally generated cash flows.

U.S. OFFSHORE operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 increased 7.5% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase is primarily the result of a lower depreciation expense due to an asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Additionally, average rig revenue per day increased while activity days remained constant. Included in offshore revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are reimbursements for “out-of-pocket” expenses of $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
March 31, 2005
Five of the Company’s eleven platform rigs are currently contracted and a sixth rig has been contracted to start operations late in the third quarter of 2005. The Company continues to forecast a slow recovery in its offshore segment, but some inquiries for future work are being pursued and the Company is optimistic that one additional rig will be contracted by September, 2005.

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $3.6 million, compared to $1.6 million in the same period of 2004. Included in operating income is an exchange loss in Venezuela of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to an exchange loss of $1.4 million for the same period in 2004. Rig utilization for international operations averaged 71% for this year’s second quarter, compared with 51% for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. An average of 19.2 rigs worked during the current quarter, compared to 16.2 rigs in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. International revenues were $41.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared with $39.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in revenue is attributable to increased activity days offset by a decrease in average rig revenue per day. Included in International Drilling revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are reimbursements for “out-of-pocket” expenses of $3.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Depreciation decreased as compared to the second quarter of 2004 due to transferring five rigs to U.S. Land operations.
Currently in Venezuela, the Company has eight deep rigs operating for PDVSA with a ninth deep rig scheduled to go to work in the third quarter for PDVSA. The Company is bidding on other contracts that offer possibilities for one 3,000 HP deep land rig and two 2,000 HP deep land rigs.
Ecuador’s rig utilization was 100% and 67% for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. In those same comparative quarters, an average of 8.0 rigs and 5.4 rigs worked.
Two deep rigs worked at 96% activity in Colombia during the second quarter of 2005, compared to no activity in the second quarter 2004. The Company anticipates the two working rigs to remain active through the end of the fiscal year. During both second quarters of 2005 and 2004, Argentina had one rig working. Bolivia had no activity during the second quarter 2005 compared to one rig working during the second quarter 2004. Two of the three idle rigs in Bolivia are contracted to begin work in the third quarter 2005. The third rig will be moved to Argentina and is expected to begin work in the fourth quarter 2005. In the second quarter 2004, Chad had one rig working. Chad had no activity in the second quarter 2005, as those operations ceased at the end of fiscal 2004. The rig has been moved to the U.S. Land Operations and is currently under contract.

In the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, there was one rig working in Hungary. The contract in Hungary was completed early in the second quarter of 2005, and the rig arrived in Houston in April, 2005.
OTHER
Interest and dividend income increased to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $.5 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase is due to higher earnings from increased cash and cash equivalent balances.
Income from the sale of investment securities in the second quarter of 2004 was $7.1 million. Gains net of tax were $4.3 million ($0.09 per diluted share). The Company sold its entire position of 140,000 shares in ConocoPhillips during the second quarter of 2004. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company had no income from the sale of securities.
Interest expense was $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to $3.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. Interest expense is primarily attributable to the $200 million long-term debt for both comparable quarters and short-term borrowings along with capitalized interest of $.2 million in fiscal 2004.
Six Months Ended March 31, 2005 vs. Six Months Ended March 31, 2004
The Company reported net income of $61.7 million ($1.20 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $360.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005, compared with net income of $12.6 million ($0.25 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $277.3 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2004. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2005 includes $16.0 million ($0.31 per diluted share) of after-tax gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2004 includes $6.2 million ($0.12 per diluted share) of after-tax gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities and a non-monetary investment gain of $1.2 million ($0.02 per diluted share).
The following tables summarize operations by business segment for the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
March 31, 2005
U.S. LAND operating results in the first six months of fiscal 2005 increased significantly from the same period in fiscal 2004. Operating income was $61.4 million and $12.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Revenues were $231.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005, compared with $157.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. Included in land revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 are reimbursements for “out-of-pocket” expenses of $16.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively. The $49.2 million increase in operating income was primarily the result of higher land rig margins and increased rig days, partially offset by increased depreciation.
The 90% increase in margins was due to higher dayrates in fiscal 2005. Land rig utilization was 93% and 83% for the six months of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Land rig revenue days for the first six months of 2005 were 15,177 compared with 13,038 for the same period of 2004, with an average of 83.4 and 71.2 rigs working during the first six months of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in rig days and average rigs working is attributable to increased activity days for the same rigs working in 2005 and 2004 and two of the five rigs transferred from the international fleet working. The 11% increase in depreciation is the result of the five additional rigs transferred from the international operations during fiscal 2005.

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was $9.8 million, compared to $5.2 million in the same period of 2004. The increase in operating income is primarily the result of increased rig activity. Rig utilization for international operations averaged 71% for the first six months of fiscal 2005, compared with 52% for the first six months of fiscal 2004. An average of 19.6 rigs worked during the first six months of fiscal 2005, compared to 16.5 rigs in the first six months of fiscal 2004. International revenues were $84.3 million and $75.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in International Drilling revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are reimbursements for “out-of-pocket” expenses of $6.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The overall increase in margin per day was primarily the result of the increase in revenue days in Venezuela at attractive margins and increased rig activity in Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador.
Effective March 3, 2005, the Central Bank of Venezuela authorized the devaluation of the bolivar from 1920 to 2150. Included in direct operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2005 is a $1.6 million exchange loss related to the Venezuelan currency devaluation, compared to a $1.4 million currency devaluation loss for the same period in 2004.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
March 31, 2005
OTHER
Interest and dividend income increased to $2.2 million in the first six months of 2005, compared to $1.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. The increase is attributable to higher earnings from increased cash and cash equivalent balances.
Income from the sale of investment securities increased to $26.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005, compared to $12.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. The first six months of 2005 includes gains from the sale of securities of $26.3 million, $16.0 million after-tax ($0.31 per diluted share), primarily from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of Atwood Oceanics, Inc. The first six months of 2004 includes gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $10.1 million, $6.2 million after-tax ($0.12 per diluted share) and a non-monetary investment gain of $1.9 million, $1.2 after-tax ($0.02 per diluted share).
The value of the Company’s remaining portfolio was approximately $238.9 million at March 31, 2005. The after-tax value was approximately $159.2 million.
Income from asset sales increased to $11.8 million in the first six months of 2005, compared to $1.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. The increase of $10.2 million is primarily due to the sale of two deep domestic land rigs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalent balances increased to $208.5 million at March 31, 2005 from $65.3 million at September 30, 2004. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is the result of proceeds from sales of securities of $62.8 million, proceeds from asset sales of $26.5 million and net cash provided by operating activities of $78.1 million. In the first six months of 2004, net cash provided by operating activities was $37.2 million.
Capital expenditures were $22.7 million and $52.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Capital expenditures decreased from 2004 due to the completion of the Company’s FlexRig3 construction project. The Company will begin construction of FlexRig4 in the third quarter of 2005 with the first two of thirteen rigs to be completed in November, 2005.
The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $125 million for fiscal 2005. Included in the $125 million is approximately $50 million for part of the estimated construction of 13 new drilling rigs. Capital expenditures will be financed primarily by internally generated cash flows. A total of five new rigs were completed during the six months ended March 31, 2004.
Current cash, investments in short-term money market securities and cash generated from projected operating activities are expected to meet our estimated capital expenditures and other expected cash requirements for fiscal 2005. The Company’s indebtedness totaled $200 million at March 31, 2005, as described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
There were no other significant changes in the Company’s financial position since September 30, 2004.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (continued)
We are currently undergoing a comprehensive effort in preparation for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

As a result, we are evaluating and implementing improvements to our internal controls over financial reporting and will continue to do so. These improvements include further formalization of policies and procedures, improved segregation of duties, and improved information technology system controls.
